Dr. Michael Gregor, a scientist and physician who once testified for Oprah Winfrey in her “meat defamation” trial, warns that an apocalyptic virus emanating from overcrowded and unsanitary chicken farms has the potential to wipe out half of humanity.
Greger, a vegan, writes that “In the ‘hurricane scale’ of epidemics, COVID-19, with a death rate of around half of one percent, rates a measly Category Two, possibly a Three. … The Big One, the typhoon to end all typhoons, will be 100 times worse when it comes, a Category Five producing a fatality rate of one in two. … Civilization as we know it would cease.”
While environmentalists warned earlier this month that the world would face another stronger epidemic if we continue to have contact with wildlife, Gregor places the blame squarely on chickens.
“With pandemics explosively spreading a virus from human to human, it’s never a matter of if, but when,” Greger writes.
Citing the bird-based Spanish Flu outbreak of 1920, and the H5N1 outbreak in Hong Kong in 1997, Gregor writes, “the worry is that the virus never stands still but is always mutating. … This is the monster lurking in the undergrowth, the one that makes epidemiologists shudder.”
Gregor writes we have to change the entire system – away from large scale farms where chickens are fed antibiotics and are crammed together and pass diseases from one to another easily to smaller, free-range farms … and eventually not eating chickens or ducks at all.
“The pandemic cycle could theoretically be broken for good,” he writes. “Bird flu could be grounded.”
But until then, he warns, “as long as there is poultry, there will be pandemics. In the end, it may be us or them.”
So we...what? Murder every chicken, every turkey, goose, duck, all the birds?
PLAY ME SOME G.W. BUSH "SHOCK AND AWE". WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE...PART 1001.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
THE CDC HAS A NEW STRAIN OF SWINE FLU WAITING IN THE WINGS.
July 2, 2020 – A recent publication in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) external icon describes a group of H1N1 swine influenza viruses that have “the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humans” and which are therefore of potential pandemic concern.
This group of viruses, referred to as “G4” Eurasian (EA) avian-like H1N1 viruses, has been spreading in pigs in China since 2016 and has become the predominant genotype found in Chinese pigs.
According to the report, these viruses have the right characteristics for causing infections in people, including the ability to grow well in human lung cells and to spread by respiratory droplets and direct contact in an animal model. While only three human infections with G4 viruses have previously been reported, this study found that about 10% of swine workers from whom blood samples were taken in China had evidence of prior infection with G4 viruses, suggesting that human infection is more common than previously thought.
["...the RIGHT characteristics for causing infections in people"? GO SOMEWHERE QUIET AND THINK ABOUT THAT STATEMENT.]
G4 viruses have not been detected in pigs or people in the United States. However, like all flu viruses with pandemic potential, CDC is taking a number of actions to monitor and prepare against this emerging public health threat, including: -Coordinating with public health partners in China, including requesting a virus sample -Assessing the risk of the virus causing a pandemic using CDC’s Influenza Risk Assessment Tool (IRAT) -Evaluating whether an existing candidate vaccine virus (CVV) against a closely related flu virus (called “G5”) would protect against this virus, -If needed, creating a new CVV specific to G4 viruses, and -Studying whether existing flu antiviral drugs offer protection against this group of viruses. [NEW VACCINE! NEW VACCINE! YAAAAY!]
These G4 viruses would be detected by the current CDC Influenza Virus Real-time RT-PCR Influenza A (H1/H3/H1 pdm09) Subtyping Panel, which would indicate this was an H1N1 variant virus infection. CDC has guidance for clinicians on variant virus infections and state public health laboratories have standing ordersexternal icon to forward variant viruses to CDC for further study.
G4 swine flu viruses in China described in the PNAS report have a mix of genes from influenza viruses found in humans, birds and pigs. Five genes of the G4 virus came from the 2009 H1N1 virus that caused the 2009 flu pandemic.
Based on laboratory transmission studies in ferrets, G4 viruses can spread via direct contact or via respiratory droplets. CDC has tested a closely related G5 virus in its laboratories and observed transmission similar to what was reported in this study.
WHAT A MIX! SURELY THAT COCKTAIL DIDN'T ORIGINATE IN A LAB...NAAAAH, PSHAW, OF COURSE NOT...
The PNAS study [Did they mean 'penis'? Sorry, couldn't resist. But, after all, CDC’s Influenza Risk Assessment Tool (IRAT). Apologies to RATS] showed that among 338 swine workers whose blood was tested for antibodies, about 10% had evidence of past infection with G4 viruses. A higher rate was observed among 18-35-year-old swine workers. Regular households also were sampled, and about 4% of the 230 people from the general population had antibodies to G4 viruses.
These data suggest that these viruses may have acquired increased capability of infecting humans. Study authors caution that continued circulation of these viruses in pigs and exposure to humans may allow for additional re-assortment events to occur
A prototype candidate vaccine virus (CVV) from the closely related EA avian-like H1N1 G5 swine flu virus was originally developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center at the China CDC.
THE COINCIDENCES JUST KEEP MOUNTING, DON'T THEY?
LET US GIVE THANKS TO THE CDC, ET AL, THAT WE CAN JUST ABOUT BE SURE WHAT WILL CAUSE THE NEXT LOCK-DOWNS.
THOSE GUYS SURE THINK AHEAD, HMMM?
MASKS, NO GATHERINGS, LOCK-DOWNS, STAY-AT-HOME, FINANCIAL RUIN FOREVER, RIGHT?
Over the last several decades, the middle class has struggled to keep pace with smaller paychecks, mounting debt and shrinking opportunities for steady work.
The total net worth of the nation’s 651 billionaires rose from $2.95 trillion on Mar. 18 — the rough start of the pandemic shutdowns — to $4.01 trillion on Dec. 7, a leap of 36%, based on Forbes billionaires, according to a new report by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).
Combined, just the top 10 billionaires are now worth more than $1 trillion.
By around Mar. 18 most federal and state economic restrictions in response to the virus were in place.
We can immediately see 4 major facts the $1 trillion wealth gain by 651 U.S. billionaires since mid-March has 'produced':
1- It's more than it would cost to send a stimulus check of $3,000 to every one of the roughly 330 million people in America. A family of four would receive over $12,000.
YES, Republicans have blocked new stimulus checks from being included in the pandemic relief package.
BUT THEY KNOW HOW FUTILE SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT MEANS WHEN AMERICANS HAVE THIS MUCH DEBT AMIDST 'LOCK-DOWNS/STAY-HOME ORDERS'. IT'S LIKE PISSING ON A FOREST FIRE.
2- It's double the two-year estimated budget gap of all state and local governments, which is forecast to be at least $500 billion.
“Never before has America seen such an accumulation of wealth in so few hands,” said Frank Clemente, executive director of Americans for Tax Fairness. “As tens of millions of Americans suffer from the health and economic ravages of this pandemic, a few hundred billionaires add to their massive fortunes. Their pandemic profits are so immense that America’s billionaires could pay for a major COVID relief bill and still not lose a dime of their pre-virus riches. Their wealth growth is so great that they alone could provide a $3,000 stimulus payment to every man, woman and child in the country, and still be richer than they were 9 months ago.
The updraft of wealth to the billionaire class is disturbing at a time when tens of millions face eviction, job loss, destitution, and other loss.
Chuck Collins of the Institute for Policy Studies and co-author of Billionaire Bonanza 2020, a report looking at pandemic profiteering and billionaire wealth said, “Billionaires are extracting wealth at a time when essential workers are pushed into the viral line of fire.”
"The growing gap between America’s rich and everyone else is hardly new. But the extra-ordinarily rapid economic collapse catalyzed by COVID-19 has made the chasm deeper and wider, with edges that keep crumbling under the feet of those crowded on the edge.
Since mid-March, more than 30 million people have filed for unemployment—more than three times as many as lost their jobs during the two-year-long Great Recession.
Meanwhile, after a steep but brief dip in March, the stock market rallied. The richest and most well–connected are seeing their wealth re-accumulate, as if by magic, while middle- and working–class families drown in debt that deepens with every passing week.
The contrast isn’t just between low-wage workers and billionaire bosses.
Bills are mounting for small restaurants and retailers as their applications for the federal Paycheck Protection Program go unanswered.
But firms like Hallador Energy, an Indiana coal company that hired former Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt as a lobbyist, raked in millions from the program.
While the median home price rose 8% in March, families across the country began receiving eviction notices, even in states with eviction moratoriums.
Small retailers closed to comply with social–distancing orders while e-commerce sales, especially from the biggest online platforms, have spiked. BUT Amazon reported a 26% jump in revenue in the first quarter.
College-educated employees who can work remotely have, so far, largely been spared, still drawing paychecks and watching their savings grow as they cancel vacations and dinners out and complain about how boring it is to stay at home.
One analysis of unemployment–insurance claims in California found that nearly 37% of workers with just a high school diploma have filed for benefits since March 15, compared with less than 6% of those with a bachelor’s degree.
"That may change, of course. No group is safe in a recession of this magnitude."
There’s no reason to believe that the conditions that led us here will change on their own. Already, more companies are talking about replacing workers with machines. And recessions are not good for workers’ leverage. With millions of people now desperate for any income at all, companies can offer less and demand more.
And that is the proverbial elephant in the room we aren’t quite seeing. After all, authoritarianism and extremism don’t arise in prosperous societies, but in troubled ones, which are growing impoverished, like America is today. NO, Americans are not living on a few dollars a day, by and large, like people in, for example, Somalia or Bangladesh. America’s median income is still that of a 'rich country', around $50k, depending on how it’s counted. But middle class incomes have shrunk 8.5 percent since 2000.
America appears to be pioneering a new kind of poverty altogether, one for which we don't yet have a name.
It's something like living on the knife’s edge, constantly being on the brink of ruin, one small step away from catastrophe and disaster, ever at the risk of falling through the cracks.
It has two components; massive inflation for the basics of life, coupled with crushing, asymmetrical risk.
Our 'average' American income doesn't go very far.
Most of it is eaten up by attempting to afford the basics of life. We’ve already seen how steep healthcare costs are. But then there's education. There's transport.
There's interest and several kinds of taxes and mortgages or rent.
There's payments for media and communications. There's childcare and elderly care and home upkeep. We have to eat, we have to be clothed, we have to heat and cool and light our homes.
All these things reduce the average American to constantly living right at the edge of ruin — one paycheck away from poverty, from homelessness, one emergency away from losing it all.
Americans are considered rich, but only nominally — our money doesn’t buy nearly as much as our peers can buy in other "rich" nations, where the basics of life are mostly 'regulated and capped'.
All the things that really elevate people’s quality of life — healthcare, finance, education, transport, housing, and so on — have come to consume such a large, constantly rising share of the average household’s income that we have little left to save, invest, or spend on anything else.
And what’s worse, while the basics of life have seen massive inflation, wages and incomes (not to mention savings and benefits and safety nets and opportunities) for most have stagnated. The result is an economy — and a society — that’s collapsing.
That's the straightforward effect of giving, for example, hedge funds control over drugs, or speculators control over housing, healthcare, and education — they will of course maximize profits, whereas investing in these things socially, or at least regulating them, minimizes real costs, and maximizes accessibility, affordability, and quality.
So the average American, who is left high and dry, must borrow, borrow, borrow, just to maintain a decent quality of life...until the debt is too much and average J.Q. Citizen can't borrow another dime.
In 1992, the median level of debt for the middle third of families stood at $32,200.
By 2010, that figure had swelled to $84,000, an increase of 161 percent.
THIS IS WHAT THE MILLIONAIRES IN CONGRESS, THOSE WHO NEVER LIVE PAYCHECK-TO-PAYCHECK, REFUSE TO SEE AND/OR ADMIT.
MOST AMERICANS ARE BUSTING THEIR BUTTS, SCRATCHING AND CLAWING TO SURVIVE, WHILE CONGRESS DEBATES THROWING THE MASSES ANOTHER BONE OF A LOUSY $1200 OR EVEN A SMALLER BONE OF $600.
AT THIS POINT IN THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, FOLLOWING THE PERIODS OF HISTORICAL STOCK MARKETS, INCREDIBLY LOW UNEMPLOYMENT RATES, JUST AS AMERICA WAS SEEN TO BE THRIVING AGAIN AFTER THAT "BUBBLE BURST" IN 2007-2008, THE POWERS THAT BE GAVE US COVID MANDATES, RULES TO COMPLETE THE FALL.
FOR THE MOST PART, AMERICANS AGREED TO THE WRECKING BALLS.
ONLY IF AMERICANS DECIDE TO REVERSE THAT AGREEMENT CAN WE AT ALL HAVE ANY WEE HOPE THAT WE WON'T ALL BECOME A NATION OF INDENTURED SERFS.
IT'S EITHER END THIS &@^$#%&! LOCKDOWN BULLSH*T OR FIND OURSELVES WHERE VENEZUELA IS.
I wouldn't call this a "bombshell" as the site I found this screenshot did.
These "possible adverse effects might apply to any vaccine, or, some would apply to aspirin. I've seen "possible adverse outcomes" that ran 10 pages long.
What may make this information a "bombshell" to some may be the fact that MAINSTREAM MEDIA, FDA, LITTLE TONY FAUCI, DR. BIRX, THE WHO AND THE CDC HAVEN'T CALLED ATTENTION TO THESE POSSIBLE EFFECTS, HAVEN'T MENTIONED THAT IT MIGHT TAKE YEARS FOR SOME OF THEM TO SHOW UP, OR JUST MIGHT KILL THE IMMUNE COMPROMISED, THE ELDERLY AND SOME WITH PRE-EXISTING SERIOUS CONDITIONS OR CONGENITAL ILLNESSES WITHIN MINUTES OF INJECTION.
WHY NOT MAKE THESE THINGS AS WELL KNOWN AS THE INFLATED DEATH STATS THEY KEEP PUSHING IN OUR FACES?
WHY NOT FOREWARN THE POPULACE SO THEY CAN MAKE A BETTER INFORMED DECISION TO TAKE OR REJECT THE VACCINE?
IN FACT, THEY SHOULD "MANDATE" THAT ALL CITIZENS READ THIS, MAKE SURE WE'RE PROPERLY INFORMED.
THAT'S NO LONGER ON THE FDA OR CDC SITE, BUT IT WAS ARCHIVED ONLINE IN ITS ENTIRETY.

MONITORING BY WHAT? COUNTING VACCINE DEATHS AS COVID DEATHS?
NO APOCALYPSE BY COVID Pandemics have come and gone around the globe for centuries, but in recent history they've been used as points of manipulation that have profited corporations, particularly pharmaceutical companies.
In 2006, 2007 and again in 2008, hyped warnings over the bird flu were repeatedly exposed as little more than a cruel hoax, designed to instill fear and line the pocketbooks of industry and various vested individuals.
In 2009, there was the swine flu hoax, the vaccination campaign for which, as mentioned, turned into a disaster.
The summer of 2012 was again filled with dire predictions of bird flu sufficiently mutating to cause a human pandemic, immediately followed by urgent calls for fast-tracked vaccines.
None of these pandemics ever turned into the global killers we were told to expect, and COVID-19 is no different. As mentioned in the Tea Room many times now, there's no evidence of excess deaths due to this novel virus.
While failing economies around the world are blamed on the pandemic, the central bank system has been faltering for some time and is now on its last leg.
The global debt load is now so high, countries cannot even pay off the interest, and thus the system no longer works.
It needs to be "reset," but rather than ditching the central bank system and resetting it to something stable (such as returning to a gold-backed system), the technocrats in charge are ushering in an all-digital centralized currency that will give them total control over the finances of every human on earth.
World Bank documents indicate that the Covid-19 project may be planned to continue until March 2025. Their slogan is “Build Back Better”, but for whom?
Due to significant safety concerns, a former vice president and chief scientist for pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, has joined a prominent German physician and past head of a local public health department in petitioning for the immediate suspension of all COVID-19 vaccine studies in Europe.
Dr. Michael Yeadon, who held Pfizer’s most senior research position in the field of allergy and respiratory medicines prior to his departure in 2011, and epidemiologist and pulmonary specialist Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg have filed their petition with the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is responsible for approving drugs in the European Union at large.
According to a report from 2020News, the two doctors “demand that the studies — for the protection of the life and health of the volunteers — should not be continued until a study design is available that is suitable to address the significant safety concerns expressed by an increasing number of renowned scientists against the vaccine and the study design.”
The petitioners point out that PCR tests, which have been broadly used around the world as a means of detecting the COVID-19 virus, are known by experts to lack accuracy, and are thus unsuitable for a serious study. As an alternative, they demand that something called “Sanger sequencing” must be used.
Without such a change, “neither the risk of disease nor a possible vaccine benefit can be determined with the necessary [level of] certainty,” which is why, they affirm, due to this factor alone, “testing the vaccine on humans is unethical.”
They also demand that “risks already known from previous studies, which partly originate from the nature of the corona viruses,” must be excluded by means of animal experiments prior to tests being performed on human beings. Such dangers include: --Infertility in Women --Increased vulnerability to the virus --Allergic or even fatal reactions --Unacceptable risk of long-term effects
“The much too short duration of the study does not allow a realistic estimation of the late effects.” As a hastily developed vaccine for the swine flu caused many cases of narcolepsy over the last decade, the doctors point out that if the vaccine is used without sufficient study, millions of healthy people will be exposed to unacceptable risks.
In this video footage, Offit, Hotez and even Fauci (in an unguarded moment), warn that any new coronavirus vaccine could trigger lethal immune reactions, "vaccine enhancement," when vaccinated people come in contact with the wild virus. Instead of proceeding with caution, Fauci made the reckless choice to fast track vaccines, partially funded by Gates, without critical animal studies before moving into human clinical trials that could provide early warning of runaway immune responses.
No Accountability for Vaccine Harm/Death As noted by Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), based on the historical failures of past coronavirus vaccines, a fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine could become one of the biggest public health disasters in history.
No one involved will be held accountable or face any repercussions if millions are harmed or die from this new vaccine, just as GlaxoSmithKline was not held accountable for the narcolepsy cases caused by their vaccine, Pandemrix. Instead, they will all continue to profit while an unsuspecting public will beta test yet another potentially dangerous vaccine.
Even if severe side effects are rare, when you're talking about vaccinating some 7 billion people, even a tiny percentage will translate into millions of people affected.
Early in the COVID-19 scenario, Dr. Peter Hotez, of Baylor College of Medicine, testified before Congress about the dangers of accelerating coronavirus vaccine development, saying "(The) unique safety problem of coronavirus vaccines" was discovered 50 years ago while developing the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine."
He went on to stater that this "‘paradoxical immune enhancement phenomenon' means vaccinated people may still develop the disease, get sicker and die."
Researchers had seen this same "enhanced immune response" during human testing of the failed RSV vaccine tests in the 1950s.
Solicited serious adverse events -- 10-fold increase on second dose in ederly, compared to 3.6-fold for those under 55
Among the 18-55 year-old participants, there were 370 solicited serious adverse events (SSAEs) in the vaccinated group and 73 in the unvaccinated. Of the vaccinated, 18% experienced SSAEs; in the placebo group, only 3% did, implying that SSAEs can be expected at a rate five times greater in the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated.
These included severe fatigue, headache, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle and joint pain.
Whether these conditions represent instances of pathogenic priming, identifying individuals who are now at higher risk of serious morbidity and mortality if they become infected with SARS-CoV-2 is unknown, but given past studies, seems likely.
In the over 55 group, which was a smaller group, there were 60 SSAEs in the vaccinated group and 24 in the unvaccinated. Of the vaccinated, 6.5% experienced SAEs, compared to 1.4% in the unvaccinated, implying a 4.46% increased risk overall of SSAEs due to vaccination.
THINK HOW MANY ELDERLY ARE AT RISK IF THEY TAKE THE VACCINE. JUST THINK, PERIOD.
DO WE SACRIFICE A DOZEN, 100, 1,000, 1,000,000 "FOR THE GREATER GOOD", USE THE MASSES AS LAB RATS?
THINK AGAIN OF THAT HYPOTHETICAL 100 CHAMBERS GUN, ONE BULLET, SPIN THE CYLINDER....AT WHOSE HEAD WOULD YOU PULL THAT TRIGGER?
NOT YOUR OWN, NOT YOUR CHILD'S, NOT AT ANYONE, RIGHT?
THEN WHY SHOOT AN UNTESTED VACCINE WITH EVEN A 1 IN 100 CHANCE OF DOING HARM OR CAUSING DEATH INTO ANYONE?
You can read the fact of the change on WHO's website <HERE>. In part WHO, struggling to stop the outrage at the change, states, "WHO has characterized [this] as a change in the “description” but not in the “definition” of pandemic influenza. “It’s not a definition, but we recognize that it could be taken as such … It was the fault of ours, confusing descriptions and definitions”, and this denial was "Submitted: 13 January 2011 – Revised version received: 30 March 2011 – Accepted: 31 March 2011. in 'Bulletin of the World Health Organization 2011;89:532-538. doi: 10.2471/BLT.11.086173'".
WHO continues: "Central to this debate has been the question of whether H1N1 influenza should have been labelled a “pandemic” at all.
The Council of Europe voiced serious concerns that the declaration of a pandemic became possible only after WHO changed its definition of pandemic influenza."
"In actuality, the description–definition was displayed at the top of the WHO Pandemic Preparedness home page for over six years and is consistent with the descriptions of pandemic influenza put forth in various WHO policy documents over the years." They then provide links to that from 2011. See my note at the end of this blog for more on this maneuver by WHO.***
See also <HERE> and <HERE> for other medical professionals reactions and a NYT article about this in MAY, 2009. I hope you read the comments of virologists at the first link.
Globally, as of 5:02pm CET, 11 December 2020, from a world population of 7.8 BILLION human beings, there have been 69,143,017 total confirmed cases of COVID-19, including a world total of 1,576,516 deaths, reported to WHO.
In other words, before they died, that 1,576,51 were counted as positive/confirmed tests...then they died.
TRUE "CASES" are those who DO have symptoms, DO need medical treatment and WILL have a positive test, for whatever those tests are worth. There's no "CASE" if no doctor treats you. You're merely infected, sans symptoms. The ASYMPTOMATIC, according to the same three sources as above, make up about 70% to 80% of infected humans around the globe, as the following chart shows.
But, hey, we've been scammed before and that scam came to light via the '60 Minutes' investigation.
In 2018, 485,803 people died in February and March in America.
About 6,120 of those people, or 3%, were classified as having died of influenza or pneumonia.
From Feb. 1 through March 28 of this year, 435,808 people died in America. About 1,150 were classified as having died of COVID-19, and 23,729 were classified as having died of the flu or pneumonia.
About 5.2% of all of the Americans who died in February and March of this year died of the flu or pneumonia.
Had it not been for the World Health Organization changing the definition of “pandemic,” COVID-19 would not be an issue.
The WHO’s original definition of a pandemic specified simultaneous epidemics worldwide “with enormous numbers of deaths and illnesses.”
This definition was changed in the month leading up to the 2009 swine flu pandemic.
The WHO removed the severity and high mortality criteria, leaving the definition of apandemic as “a worldwide epidemic of a disease.”
This is how COVID-19 is still promoted as a pandemic even though it has caused no excess mortality in nine months.
Mid-March 2020 predictions said COVID-19 would kill 2.2 million Americans if allowed to run its course. [1]
By the end of March, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, downgraded the projected death toll, saying we were probably looking at 100,000 to 240,000 Americans dying. [2]
April 8, 2020, a new model referred to as the Murray Model [3] downgraded the threat further, predicting COVID-19 will kill 60,000 in the U.S. by August 2020 [4] — a number that is still 20,000 lower than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's death toll numbers attributed to the seasonal flu the winter of 2017/2018. [5]
Now, nine months into the pandemic, mortality statistics clearly show the truth: The COVID-19 pandemic is a pandemic in name only. In reality, there's no excess mortality,[6,7,8] and had it not been for the World Health Organization changing the definition of "pandemic," COVID-19 would no longer be an issue.
I know some will balk at the concept of no excess mortality but the truth is the truth, and when you examine the existing numbers, that is what you find.
The total number of Americans who died in 2018 was 2,839,205 and 2019 total U.S. deaths reached 2,855,000.
To verify the numbers, 13 News went directly to archived mortality data maintained on the website of the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, which collects the nation’s official death data.
An initial search might seem to suggest that 2020 deaths in the U.S. are declining.
As of Nov. 17, 2020, NCHS reports 2,491,826 deaths in the United States for calendar year 2020. The information is included in a table of “Deaths involving COVID-19, pneumonia, and influenza reported to NCHS,” which also includes reported deaths from all causes.
There are still [three] weeks left in the year, so based on the current pace of recorded deaths, we would expect the 2020 number to grow by the end of December.
Some ESTIMATE we'll see the 2020 number to grow to 2,773,510 deaths by the end of December.
That total would still be fewer deaths than what the CDC recorded in the U.S. for each of the past three years.
OF COURSE, ONE MIGHT TAKE THAT DATA AND MANIPULATE IT UP OR DOWN, BUT IT WILL STILL BE ONLY AN ESTIMATE UNTIL ALL NUMBERS ARE CONFIRMED SOMETIMES IN 2021.
Definition of Pandemic Substantially Altered
The WHO's original definition of a pandemic was: [9,10]
"… when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several, simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness."
The key portion of that definition is "enormous numbers of deaths and illness." This definition was changed in the month leading up to the 2009 swine flu pandemic. The change was a simple but substantial one: They merely removed the severity and high mortality criteria, leaving the definition of a pandemic as "a worldwide epidemic of a disease." [11]
This switch in definition allowed the WHO to declare swine flu a pandemic after only 144 people had died from the infection, worldwide,and it's why COVID-19 is still promoted as a pandemic even though it has caused no excess mortality in nine months.
[12,13,14]
We now have plenty of data showing the lethality of COVID-19 is on par with the seasonal flu. [15,16,17,18,19]
YES, it may be different in terms of symptoms and complications, but the actual lethality is about the same.
The absolute risk of death is equivalent to the risk of dying in a car accident. [20,21]
By removing the criteria of severe illness causing high morbidity, leaving geographically widespread infection as the only criteria for a pandemic, the WHO and technocratic leaders of the world were able to bamboozle the global population into giving up our lives and livelihoods.
NOT 3-5 MILLION CASES, BUT 3-5 MILLION SEVERE CASES,
According to Daniel Spitz, chief medical examiner in Macomb County, Michigan, “I think a lot of clinicians are putting that condition [COVID-19] on death certificates when it might not be accurate because they died with coronavirus and not OF coronavirus.”
WHAT IF CDC/WHO HAD NOT BEGUN COUNTING FLU, PNEUMONIA, OTHER COMORBIDITIES IN WITH THAT 6% ONLY COVID DEATHS DATA?
As noted by Reiner Fuellmich, an attorney and founding member of the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee, the COVID-19 pandemic is "probably the greatest crime against humanity ever committed." [22,23,24,25]
This certainly isn't the first time doom and gloom predictions of mass casualties have completely collapsed (SARS, MERS, ZIKA, AVIAN FLU, e.g).
It's also not the first time that fast-tracked pandemic vaccines have been issued, with devastating effect.
In that regard, we can learn a lot from the 1976 swine flu pandemic, detailed in the 1979 "60 Minutes" episode.
This was also the first time drug companies were indemnified against liability for any harm that might result from a fast-tracked vaccine.
The Revealed Swine Flu Fraud of 1976
In February 1976, secretary of health F. David Matthews warned the American people there were indications that the virus responsible for the deadly 1918 flu pandemic had returned.
In January that year, a 19-year-old Army private had died from flu-related pneumonia, despite being in good health, and by the end of the month, 155 soldiers at Fort Dix** tested positive for swine flu antibodies.
Projections suggested the dreaded virus would kill 1 million Americans before the end of 1976. [26]
"The government propaganda machine cranked into action," "60 Minutes" says, urging all Americans to get vaccinated against the swine flu.
Americans who got the swine flu vaccine were told it had been properly field tested.
What they were not told was that the vaccine they received was not the actual vaccine that had undergone testing.
According to "60 Minutes," 46 million Americans got the vaccine, and over the next few years, thousands of Americans filed vaccine damage claims with the federal government. [27] This was well before the 1986 Vaccine Compensation Act, so vaccines were still liable for damages at that time.
Congress did grant the swine flu vaccine special immunity, though, and wound up paying (actually U.S. taxpayers did) for the $3.5 billion in damages the vaccine caused.
A 1981 report by the U.S. General Accounting Office to Sen. John Durkinreads, in part: [28]
"Before the swine flu program there were comparatively few vaccine-related claims made against the Government. Since 1963, Public Health Service records showed that only 27 non-swine flu claims were filed.
However, as of December 31, 1979, we found that 3,839 claims and 988 lawsuits had been filed against the Government alleging injury, death, or other damage resulting from the 45 million swine flu immunizations given under the program.
A Justice official told us that as of October 2, 1980, 3,965 claims and 1,384 lawsuits had been filed. Of the 3,965 claims filed, the Justice official said 316 claims had been settled for about $12.3 million …"
$3.5 Billion Dollars in Damages Paid for Vaccine Injuries
According to "60 Minutes," the final claims amount for the nearly 4,000 claimants ended up totaling $3.5 billion.
Two-thirds of the claimants suffered neurological damage and at least 300 of them died from vaccine side effects.
In the end, the pandemic itself never materialized. [29]
An article by Real Clear Politics described the timeline of the pandemic that wasn't, and the circumstances that led to the indemnification of vaccine makers: [30]
"All of the reported swine flu cases had been limited to the soldiers in Private Lewis' [Fort Dix] camp.
The virus wasn't spreading.
For some reason this information did not mollify the doctors, and on Feb. 14, 1976, the CDC issued a notice to all U.S. hospitals to be on the lookout for any cases of swine flu.
By March … not one case of swine flu had been reported outside of Fort Dix.
For some reason this news did not placate the doctors either, and on March 13, 1976, the director of the CDC asked Congress for money to develop and test enough swine flu vaccine to immunize at least 80% of the population of the United States …
By July, [scientists] were pretty much agreed that a flu pandemic in 1976 would not lead to 1 million U.S. dead. The flu strain extracted from Private Lewis, they learned, was much less virulent that the 1918 strain …
The World Health Organization ordered hospitals to keep a global lookout for swine flu, but it did not request mass immunization ... But the U.S. government was unstoppable.
Congress began to pressure the drug companies to work faster toward development of a swine flu vaccine …
BIG PHARMA BLACKMAIL The drug companies suggested that they could work faster if they were given immunity from lawsuits in the event something went wrong with the vaccine. Congress refused. The issue of legal liability remained at an impasse until Aug. 2, 1976.
On that day, two members of the American Legion died of a strange respiratory disease they acquired at the Legion's convention in Philadelphia.
Congress collectively freaked-out.
Panicky news reports out of Philadelphia hinted that the deaths were the beginning of the Great Swine Flu Epidemic of 1976.
On Aug. 3, Congress agreed to completely indemnify the drug companies against any and all lawsuits they might incur as a result of the distribution of swine flu vaccine."
CDC Lied About Swine Flu Vaccine Safety
According to "60 Minutes," Americans who got the swine flu vaccine were told it had been properly field tested. What they were not told was that the vaccine they received was not the actual vaccine that had undergone testing.
What's more, according to Dr. Michael Hattwick, who directed the surveillance team for the 1976 swine flu vaccination program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there was evidence showing influenza vaccinations could, and had, caused neurological complications in the past.
He claims he warned his superiors of this possibility, as it pertained to the swine flu campaign.
Yet the CDC denied the evidence and the American public was never informed of this risk.
"60 Minutes" also reveals the CDC was proven to have lied in its marketing materials for the vaccine.
Judy Roberts was one of the victims of that 1976 vaccination campaign. She was paralyzed by the vaccine, and suffered permanent damage. Her husband, who also was vaccinated and suffered no ill effects, ends the "60 Minute" segment saying:
"I told Judy to take the shot … I'm mad with my government. They knew the facts but they didn't release those facts, because if they had released them, people wouldn't have taken it. And they can come out tomorrow and tell me there's going to be an epidemic, and they can drop off like flies next to me, and I will not take another shot that my government tells me to take."

CAUSE OF DEATH WAS ABSOLUTELY SWINE FLU VACCINE.]
The Origin of the Anti-Vaccine Movement?
The 1976 swine flu vaccine program has sometimes been cited as the origin of the anti-vaccine movement, and for good reason. Thousands were seriously injured and hundreds died after placing their trust in scientists and the government. Many of them, just like Roberts in the "60 Minutes" segment, vowed never to be that naïve again.
As reported by Smithsonian Magazine in 2017: [31]
"In the spring of 1976, it looked like that year's flu was the real thing. Spoiler alert: it wasn't, and the [panicky] rushed response led to a medical debacle that hasn't gone away.
'Some of the American public's hesitance to embrace vaccines — the flu vaccine in particular — can be attributed to the long-lasting effects of a failed 1976 campaign to mass-vaccinate the public against a strain of the swine flu virus,' writes Rebecca Kreston for Discover.
'This government-led campaign was widely viewed as a debacle and put an irreparable dent in future public health initiative, as well as negatively influenced the public's perception of both the flu and the flu shot in this country.'"
Pandemic Threats Have Repeatedly Turned to Naught
Sadly, the embarrassment of the 1976 swine flu debacle did not put an end to faux pandemics.
In the last 15 years alone we've had to defend against wave upon wave of pandemic pandemonium, none of which turned out to be the global killer that "experts" predicted.
The 2005 bird flu outbreak [aka, Avian Flu], for example, was predicted to kill anywhere from 2 million to 150 million people.
In reality, the death toll topped out at just 98 people, globally, in 2005; 115 in 2006; and 86 in 2007. [32]
No one in the U.S. died from this infection, and the sheer brazenness of this fake pandemic prompted the writing of the New York Times best seller book "The Great Bird Flu Hoax."
In 2006, 2007 and again in 2008, hyped warnings over the bird flu were repeatedly exposed as little more than a cruel hoax, designed to instill fear and line the pocketbooks of industry and various vested individuals.
Then came the now infamous H1N1 swine flu of 2009. [33]
The CDC estimates that from April 12, 2009, to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million cases of H1N1 infection, 274,000 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the United States. The infection fatality rate was a mere 0.02%.
Then, as now, vaccines were fast-tracked. Lo and behold, within months, cases of disability and death from the H1N1 vaccine were reported in various parts of the world.
In 2010, the ASO3-adjuvanted swine flu vaccine (Pandemrix, used in Europe but not in the U.S. during 2009-2010) was causally linked [34] to childhood narcolepsy, which had abruptly skyrocketed in several countries during the vaccination campaign. [35,36]
In the aftermath, the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) raised serious questions about the WHO's handling of the pandemic and the role drug companies may have played in its drug and vaccine recommendations.
In June 2010, PACE concluded "the handling of the pandemic by the WHO, EU health agencies and national governments led to a 'waste of large sums of public money, and unjustified scares and fears about the health risks faced by the European public.'"[37]
Specifically, PACE concluded there was "overwhelming evidence that the seriousness of the pandemic was vastly overrated by WHO," and that the drug industry had influenced the organization's decision-making. [38]
The sad reality is that the WHO is little more than a front group for Big Pharma and the technocratic elite that seek to "reset" the global economic and social structure.
It would indeed be naïve to expect this private organization to do what's right for public health while simultaneously taking direction from its major benefactor Bill Gates and the rich and powerful drug industry.
While the 2009 swine flu pandemic was the most significant in terms of the fear-mongering brought to bear, in the summer of 2012, dire predictions of mutating bird flu again filled the media, followed by urgent calls for yet another fast-tracked vaccine.
Two years later, in 2014, the Ebola virus turned into a global health emergency after epidemics in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone had been largely ignored.
Interestingly enough, a UN resolution called for no restrictions on international travel to Ebola-stricken countries — a decision that led to an infected passenger bringing the infection to the U.S.
Another two years after that, in 2016, Zika virus hit pandemic status,39 triggering travel alerts and restrictions in and out of affected regions. All of these pandemics defied experts' predictions of mass casualties. None turned into a global killer, and COVID-19 is no different. [40,41,42]
Why We Must End Gain-of-Function Research
Time and again, serious safety breaches have been identified at laboratories working with the most lethal and dangerous pathogens in the world, [43,44,45,46,47,48,49] and mounting evidence suggests SARS-CoV-2 may be a lab creation as well.
Scientists [and little Tony 'Wuhan' Fauci] defend and promote gain-of-function research by insisting it allows us to prepare for pandemics. [50]
In reality, this kind of research does not appear to have improved governments' pandemic responses in the least.
If anything, it's a curious coincidence that the very viruses undergoing gain-of-function research are the ones causing pandemics.
As just one example, an article [51] by Mark Denison, editor of 'mBio', presents a hypothesis for the 1977-1978 H1N1 swine flu pandemic, often referred to as the Russian flu, as the first cases were reported in the USSR.
According to Denison, the pandemic "was probably not a natural event, as the genetic sequence of the virus was nearly identical to the sequences of decades-old strains."
The lab hypothesis has "gained popularity in discussions about the bio-safety risks of gain-of-function influenza virus research, as an argument for why this research should not be performed," he writes. Another possibility being kicked around is that the infection spread through a live-vaccine trial.
A third option: a deliberate release as a bio-weapon.
As noted in a 2009 New England Journal of Medicine review article, which provided a historical perspective on the emergence of H1N1 viruses: [52] "Even though human influenza A (H1N1) virus had not circulated since 1957 and the swine influenza A (H1N1) virus that had been identified at Fort Dix did not extend outside the base, in November 1977, the H1N1 strain reemerged in the former Soviet Union, Hong Kong, and northeastern China.
This strain affected primarily young people in a relatively mild presentation.
Careful study of the genetic origin of the virus showed that it was closely related to a 1950 strain but dissimilar to influenza A (H1N1) strains from both 1947 and 1957.
This finding suggested that the 1977 outbreak strain had been preserved since 1950.The reemergence was probably an accidental release from a laboratory source in the setting of waning population immunity to H1 and N1 antigens."
Can history repeat itself?
There are no guarantees that it can't or won't, which is why it's so important we find out where SARS-CoV-2 really came from.
As noted by the National Review, [53] getting to the bottom of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial if we want to prevent a similar pandemic in the future:
"If it originated from a person eating bat or pangolin at a wet market, then we need to take steps to ensure that bat and pangolin consumption and trade stops …
Bat guano is used as fertilizer in many countries, and that guano can be full of viruses … If this is the source of the virus, we need to get people to stop going into caves and using the guano as fertilizer …
In a strange way, the 'lab accident' scenario is one of the most reassuring explanations. It means that if we want to ensure we never experience this again, we simply need to get every lab in the world working on contagious viruses to ensure 100% compliance with safety protocols, all the time."
FROM 'WILEY ONLINE LIBRARY':
Might SARS‐CoV‐2 Have Arisen via Serial Passage through an Animal Host or Cell Culture [LAB ORIGIN]?
"Taken together, the available evidence does NOT point definitively toward a NATURAL origin for SARS‐CoV‐2, rather, much of it is more consistent with what would be found if the novel coronavirus had arisen from serial passage of a “precursor” progenitor virus in a lab, or from bats infecting a commercial mink farm somewhere in China, which would also provide the conditions for serial passage. However, more evidence is required before a conclusive judgement can be made one way or the other. Conclusions and Outlook
The history of gain‐of‐function research is one of science's most significant and troubling, especially since the Nuremberg Code, research scientists’ Hippocratic Oath, dictates that experiments that could endanger human life should only occur if the potential humanitarian benefits significantly outweigh the risks.[54] It seems ill‐advised to rule out the possibility that gain‐of‐function techniques such as serial passage may have played a role in the creation of SARS‐CoV‐2 until more definitive data are collected, and when the Center for Arms Control and Non‐Proliferation has calculated that the odds that any given potential pandemic pathogen might leak from a lab could be better than one in four.[55]
The release of the H1N1 Swine Flu in 1977 first initiated the discussion about the moral and physical hazards involved with dual‐use gain‐of‐function research, and it was the creation of extraordinarily virulent H5N1 Bird Flu strains—using the same technique of serial passage through an animal host in a lab—that contributed to the NIH imposing a moratorium on dual‐use gain‐of‐function research from 2014 until 2017, after which it was relaxed explicitly to allow influenza strains as well as coronaviruses to be studied. This moratorium was meant to limit “the potential to create, transfer, or use an enhanced potential pandemic pathogen.”[56] However, just as an increased pace of research into influenza vaccines increased the odds that a leak would occur leading up to the 1977 release of H1N1 Swine Flu, which is the most often cited as originating from a laboratory leak,[8] it would follow that an increased pace of research into coronaviruses over the past few years would have increased the odds that a lab leak of one would occur; after all, these viruses were pinpointed back in 2006 as a viable vector for an HIV vaccine [57] and research into a pan‐coronavirus vaccine has been ongoing for decades.
And whether or not gain‐of‐function research is determined to have played a role in SARS‐CoV‐2's emergence, the fact that it creates opportunities for pandemic viruses to leak out of labs calls for a re‐examination of the moratorium against this practice, because the emergence of this novel coronavirus has demonstrated that the international public health community is not prepared to handle the leak of a pandemic virus. Furthermore, none of the gain‐of‐function research conducted since 2014 has provided humanity with any tools at all to fight back against the ongoing pandemic caused by this novel coronavirus."________________________
Many vaccines also cause other diseases besides the one for which they are given. For instance, smallpox vaccine often causes syphilis, paralysis, leprosy, and cancer. (See the chapters on smallpox and plagues.) Polio shots, diphtheria toxin-antitoxin, typhoid vaccine, as well as measles, tetanus and all other shots often cause various other stages of disease such as post-vaccinal encephalitis (inflammation of the brain,) paralysis, spinal meningitis, blindness, cancer (sometimes within two years,) tuberculosis, (two to twenty years after the shot,) arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease (heart failure sometimes within minutes after the shot and sometimes several hours later.) Nerve damage and many other serious conditions also follow the injections.
When several shots are given (different vaccines) within a few days or a few weeks apart, they often trigger intensified cases of all the diseases at once, because the body cannot handle such a large amount of deadly poison being injected directly into the bloodstream. The doctors call it a new disease and proceed to suppress the symptoms.
When poison is taken by the mouth, the internal defense system has a chance to quickly eject some of it by vomiting, but when the poisons are shot directly into the body, bypassing all the natural safeguards, these dangerous poisons circulate immediately throughout the entire body in a matter of seconds and keep on circulating until all the cells are poisoned.
I heard that seven men dropped dead in a doctor’s office after being vaccinated. This was in an army camp, so I wrote to the Government for verification. They sent me the report of U.S. Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson. The report not only verified the report of the seven who dropped dead from the vaccines, but it stated that there had been 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis as a direct result of the yellow fever vaccine during only 6 months of the war. That was only one of the 14 to 25 shots given the soldiers. We can imagine the damage that all these shots did to the men. (See the chapter on What Vaccinations Did to Our Soldiers.)
Some of the soldiers may have been in Spain before coming home, but their diseases originated in their own home-based U.S. Army Camps. Our medical men still use that same dodge. When their own vaccines (required for travel) cause vaccine diseases abroad they use this as grounds for a scare campaign to stampede people into the vaccination centers. Do you remember the Hong Kong Flu and the Asian Flu and the London Flu scares? These were all medically-made epidemics mixed with the usual common colds which people have every year.
An editorial in the Herald and Express for August 29, 1957 was captioned, "Fear of Flu Propaganda." Part of the piece is as follows:
"What a tempest in a teapot has been blown up over the probability that this country will experience an epidemic of the Asiatic flu in the fall and winter months ahead.
"Even the United States Department of Health is stooge for the panic — and has issued statements which are frightening the public, rather than reassuring them by pointing out that this epidemic, while widespread, gives no indication of being any more dangerous than our usual flood of influenza-like colds when winter comes on.
"Those who read between the lines even wonder whether the whole thing might not be a bit of super salesmanship on the part of those who are making and selling the vaccines which are being prepared.. . ."
***A Forbes Opinion Article was first published in February 2010 under the title 'Why the WHO Faked the Pandemic'.
"The World Health Organization has suddenly gone from crying “The sky is falling!” like a cackling Chicken Little to squealing like a stuck pig. The reason: charges that the agency deliberately fomented swine flu hysteria [in 2009]. “The world is going through a real pandemic. The description of it as a fake is wrong and irresponsible,” the agency claims on its Web site. A WHO spokesman declined to specify who or what gave this “description,” but the primary accuser is hard to ignore."
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), a human rights watchdog, is publicly investigating the WHO’s motives in declaring a pandemic. Indeed, the chairman of its influential health committee, epidemiologist Wolfgang Wodarg, has declared that the “false pandemic” is “one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century.”
"Even within the agency, the director of the WHO Collaborating Center for Epidemiology in Munster, Germany, Dr. Ulrich Kiel, has essentially labeled the pandemic a hoax. “We are witnessing a gigantic misallocation of resources [$18 billion so far] in terms of public health,” he said.
They’re right. This wasn’t merely over-cautiousness or simple misjudgment. The pandemic declaration and all the Klaxon-ringing since reflect sheer dishonesty motivated not by medical concerns but political ones.
Unquestionably, swine flu has proved to be vastly milder than ordinary seasonal flu. It kills at a third to a tenth the rate, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates. Data from other countries like France and Japan indicate it’s far tamer than that."
WHO, trying to cover its ass: "What WHO’s pandemic preparedness guidelines 19 do contain are “pandemic phase” definitions. WHO declared a pandemic on 11 June 2009, after determining that the novel reassortant H1N1 virus was causing community-level outbreaks in at least two WHO regions, in keeping with the definition of pandemic phase 6. The declaration of phase 6 reflected wider global dissemination of H1N1, not disease severity. But unlike other numerical scales, such as the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale based on five “categories”, WHO’s six-point pandemic phase determinations do not correlate with clinical severity but rather with the likelihood of disease occurrence.21 This point has received widespread attention and criticism." 3,7,22,23
