LMK when Ukrainian tanks roll into Moscow. Till then, send about 10,000,000 blankets to those left in Uke-ville. They will need them starting next month.

In other news, you belief in Big Pharma's science" is on even shakier ground === thedailybell.com Home All Articles Videos Free Black-Papers STAFF NEWS & ANALYSIS BOMBSHELL: Pfizer, Fauci, Biden Lied About Vaxx Transmission Data (Nuremberg II Now) By Ben Bartee - October 17, 2022 The COVID truth trickles out in drips and drabs. I haven’t covered every leak of late because it’s exhausting and demoralizing. Frankly, nearly everyone capable of rational thought in this matter has long ago defected from Team Vaxx. The normies still boosting themselves senseless, for the most part, are unable or unwilling to comprehend the crimes committed against them in the name of Public Health©. The lies are exhausting. Pushing back on the COVID propaganda is like trying to argue with your compulsive liar mother-in-law. When you corner one lie, she slips through the net, unconstrained by the laws of physics that limit honest people. More lies lead to a never-ending game of Whac-a-Mole. Eventually, you end up circling the postmodern drain until you give up out of sheer exasperation. Nothing has been settled and you just need a drink to unwind, having fruitlessly expended volumes of mental currency in exchange for indulging a liar in a pointless tit-for-tat over minutia. ————– Alas, if there’s one revelation that could shake the COVIDians out of their coma, it’s this: a Pfizer executive under questioning in the European Parliament, recently admitted the awful truth: viral admission was not tested in Pfizer trials. Dutch MEP Rob Roos: “*Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus* before it entered the market? If not, please say it clearly. If yes, are you willing to share the data with this committee?” Janine Small, Pfizer’s president of international developed markets: “Regarding the question around, um, did we know about stopping the immunisation [sic] before it entered the market? No, heh. Uh, these, um, you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market, and from that point of view we had to do everything at risk.” Straight from the horse’s mouth. No prevarication or alternative explanation is possible. No amount of spin can put this genie back in the bottle. “Moving at the speed of The Science©,” as the executive put it, Pfizer skipped the whole transmission aspect of clinical study, presumably because the company knew that their product didn’t work. Then it deployed its minions like Warlord Fauci and Dark Brandon to lie to the whole world about it. *“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”* -Joe Biden, July 21, 2021 *“Vaccianted people do not get sick… do not spread the virus.”* -CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, March 29, 2021 *“When people are vaccinated, they can feel safe they will not be infected.”* -NIAID Director Anthony Fauci May 17, 2021 Damnable lies, each and every one. The “vaccine hesitant,” or “anti-vaxxers” as they were less charitably known at times, were castigated as “antisocial” knuckle-dragging monsters who were going to kill their grandmothers. The whole justification for the vaccine mandates and the vaccine passports, in fact, was the “social responsibility” angle, premised on the now-disproven claim that the vaxxes stopped transmission. To summarize: Pfizer bypassed basic testing protocols that every other vaccine in history has undergone, then manipulated the public with existential terror into taking its product based on false claims of stopping transmission with no evidence whatsoever. That’s how The Science© works. —————- As an aside, here’s a more fundamental question, applicable in a broad range of contexts beyond COVID: why on Earth would anyone seriously take health advice from such a creature as this: Janine Small, Pfizer’s president of international developed markets Or this: Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Rachel L. Levine These are not healthy people in any sense of the word – physically, mentally, or spiritually. They have no moral authority to condescend to you about what you should or shouldn’t be doing to protect your personal health. ————– Thousands, perhaps millions of people, including children who were never at personal risk of COVID but internalized the propaganda, got injected, and went on to suffer myocarditis, the effects of which can last indefinitely and shorten lifespan. Millions of Americans lost their livelihoods due to their refusal to comply with vaccine mandates – again, legally premised on the vaxxes stopping transmission. They got left out in the cold with no legal recourse. Hospitals denied desperate patients lifesaving organ transplants who refused to submit to the shot. Liberal intellectual hero Noam Chomsky recommended locking the unvaxxed in their homes to literally starve them out in siege warfare. Due to data suppression, we may never know for sure how many people ultimately lost their lives who would not have gotten the shot if not for Pfizer and Public Health© gaslighting and coercion. We need Nuremberg II. The guilty Public Health© and big pharma demons who did this must be punished, and brutally so. If/when the GOP retakes Congress in November, they need to feel the pressure to act under threat of insurgency if they don’t.

Boston University Creates COVID Strain With 80% Mortality In Mice by Tyler Durden Monday, Oct 17, 2022 - 09:20 AM Researchers at Boston University have created a new strain of Covid-19 that has an 80% kill rate in humanized mice. In an effort to research what makes Omicron so transmissible - and funded in part by grants from the NIH and Anthony Fauci's NIAID, the researchers cobbled the Omicron spike protein to the original strain of Covid-19. The resulting virus was five times more infectious than Omicron. "The Omicron spike (S) protein, with an unusually large number of mutations, is considered the major driver of these phenotypes. We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 encoding the S gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate and compared this virus with the naturally circulating Omicron variant," reads the pre-print. The new research, which has not been peer-reviewed, was conducted by a team from Boston and Florida. "In...mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80 percent," the researchers wrote, adding that while the spike protein is responsible for infectivity, changes to other parts of its structure are responsible for its deadliness. Researchers attached Omicron's spike to the original wildtype strain that first emerged in Wuhan at the start of the pandemic. The researchers looked at how mice fared against the new hybrid strain compared to the original Omicron variant. - Daily Mail The researchers also looked at the effect of different strains on human lung cells grown in the lab - which Covid latches on to before instructing healthy cells to make copies of itself. They found that the modified strain produces five times more viral particles than the original Omicron strain (which all the rodents survived). This study provides important insights into Omicron pathogenicity. We show that spike, the single most mutated protein in Omicron, has an incomplete role in Omicron attenuation. In in vitro infection assays, the Omicron spike-bearing ancestral SARS-CoV-2 (Omi-S) exhibits much higher replication efficiency compared with Omicron. Similarly, in K18-hACE2 mice, Omi-S contrasts with non-fatal Omicron and causes a severe disease leading to around 80% mortality. This suggests that mutations outside of spike are major determinants of the attenuated pathogenicity of Omicron in K18-hACE2 mice. Further studies are needed to identify those mutations and decipher their mechanisms of action. - Biorxiv According to the scientists, however, their chimeric virus is unlikely to be as deadly in humans as it was in the mice because the specific breed used in testing are more susceptible to severe Covid. Last year we reported that 18 months before the pandemic, scientists in Wuhan, China submitted a proposal to release enhanced airborne coronaviruses into the wild in an effort to inoculate them against diseases that could have otherwise jumped to humans, according to The Telegraph, citing leaked grant proposals from 2018. The bid was submitted by zoologist Peter Daszak of US-based EcoHealth Alliance, who was hoping to use genetic engineering to cobble "human-specific cleavage sites" onto bat Covid 'which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells' - a method which would coincidentally answer a longstanding question among the scientific community as to how SARS-CoV-2 evolved to become so infectious to humans. Daszak's proposal also included plans to commingle high-risk natural coronaviruses strains with more infectious, yet less deadly versions. His 'bat team' of researchers included Dr. Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as well as US researchers from the University of North Carolina and the US Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center. Darpa refused the contract - saying "It is clear that the proposed project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk," while warning that Daszak hadn't fully considered the dangers involved in enhancing the virus via gain-of-function research, or by releasing a vaccine into the air.
