The month of May kickstarts “Operation Warp Speed” as President Trump moves more funding toward the development of different types of vaccine technologies.
Trump’s program to address the alleged “health crisis” relies heavily on the military. Sixty military officials, including at least four generals, are involved in the leadership of Operation Warp Speed as the “covid crisis” becomes the spearpoint for rolling out a new era of high-risk, genetically engineered vaccines.
Moderna’s experimental coronavirus vaccine obtains FDA’s “fast track” status.
Disturbing news reports from around the world paint a picture of severe neglect inside long-term care homes. We learn of staffing shortages; of patients being unfed, unwashed, and lying in their own waste; and of others already dead from neglect. A substantial number of these deaths will be categorized as “covid deaths.”
Swiss Policy Research publishes data on the median age of “covid deaths”: It’s 80 years old in most Western countries.
CDC data shows 94% of claimed “covid deaths” have on average four additional underlying causes of mortality. These significant details get little-to-no traction in mainstream news, however.
Allegations that patients in hospitals are dying due to medical mismanagement and gross negligence—not due to “covid”—begin to surface.
The FDA issues Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for “covid treatment” for the emergency use of Veklury® (remdesivir). Other countries approve remdesivir to be used as a “treatment” for “covid.”
Warning signals about the potential dangers of the experimental “covid” vaccines come to light.
Multiple sources warn of severe impacts that will be caused by "covid" lockdowns. These warnings are largely ignored by politicians, public health officials, and the media.
The controversy over mask-wearing and mask mandates heats up.

The coronavirus recovery plan injects a global stimulus of $15 trillion and counting.
Coronavirus policies are proving to be a massive boon for billionaires.
Resistance to stay-at-home orders increases as large crowds flock to beaches for Memorial Day weekend.
George Floyd dies while being arrested. Protests break out and spread across the country.
Polls show only a quarter of African-Americans plan to get the coronavirus vaccine. Overall in the US, enthusiasm for the experimental vaccine is not high.
Experts predict another “covid wave” in the fall and warn that the pandemic will last up to two years.
May 1, 2020 — The FDA Issues Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Potential COVID-19 Treatment for the emergency use of Veklury® (remdesivir), while admitting there is limited information known about the safety and effectiveness of using remdesivir to treat people in the hospital with “COVID-19.”
"The [EUA] allows for remdesivir to be distributed in the U.S. and administered intravenously by health care providers, [. . .] to treat suspected or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in adults and children hospitalized with severe disease."
May 1, 2020 — CNN: “Trump grants ‘Operation Warp Speed’ a blank check to develop vaccine”
President Donald Trump has essentially given “Operation Warp Speed” a blank check as the team of government officials, scientists and private companies aims to produce hundreds of millions of doses of a life-saving coronavirus vaccine by early next year.
The goal — which may prove impossible to meet — is to make 100 million doses of the vaccine available by November, 200 million doses by December and 300 million doses by January, a senior administration official said.
“Whatever you can humanly do, we’re going to have,” Trump said. “We’re going to fast-track it like you’ve never seen before, if we come up with a vaccine.”
May 1, 2020 — Moderna and Lonza announce worldwide strategic collaboration to manufacture Moderna's vaccine (mRNA-1273) against novel coronavirus. Moderna has never produced a product before.
“[T]he companies plan to establish manufacturing suites at Lonza's facilities in the United States and Switzerland for the manufacture of mRNA-1273 at both sites. Technology transfer is expected to begin in June 2020, and the companies intend to manufacture the first batches of mRNA-1273 at Lonza U.S. in July 2020.”
"The 10-year strategic worldwide manufacturing collaboration intends to establish additional production sites “across Lonza's worldwide facilities, ultimately allowing for the manufacture of material equivalent to up to 1 billion doses of mRNA-1273 per year[.]”
May 1, 2020 — CDC data shows 94% of claimed covid deaths are shown to have on average four additional serious underlying causes of mortality. The issue gets no traction in mainstream news outlets.
May 1, 2020 — Swiss Policy Research publishes data on the median age of covid deaths: over 80 years in most Western countries, with Austria 80+ years; Canada 86 years; England 80+ years; France 84 years; Germany 82 years; Italy 81 years; Spain 82 years; Switzerland 84 years; United States 80 years; Sweden 86 years.
In most Western countries, deaths in care homes account for 30%–60% of all "covid deaths." In Canada and some US states, care homes account for up to 80% of all "covid-related deaths." In Sweden, deaths in nursing homes and nursing apartments account for 70% of all deaths.
May 1, 2020 — BBC: “Belgian officials say they are counting in a way that no other country in the world is currently doing: counting deaths in hospitals and care homes, but including deaths in care homes that are suspected, not confirmed, as Covid-19 cases.”
“According to Belgium’s latest official figures, out of 7,703 deaths, 53% have been in care homes.”
“‘It’s based on the assessment of the medical doctor, usually taking into account whether the coronavirus is present in the same care home,’ says Prof Van Gucht.”
More than three-quarters of deaths in care homes (77%) are suspected cases, leading to complaints that Belgium is over-counting coronavirus deaths.
More on the Belgium high death toll comes from Politico:
“‘We choose to register every death who had potentially died from COVID-19 to detect in which nursing homes the virus had hit. We were aware this would lead to an overestimation but found the signaling more important.’” — Joris Moonen, a spokesperson for the agency that oversees nursing homes in the Dutch-speaking region Flanders
May 1, 2020 — Wall Street on Parade: “Wall Street’s Financial Crisis Preceded COVID-19: Chart and Timeline”
“If a reputable polling outfit were to ask Americans what caused the current financial crisis on Wall Street, they would say the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. If Americans were asked in the same poll when the financial crisis on Wall Street started, they would tie it to outbreaks of the virus in the U.S. this year.
“But as the timeline below and the chart above clearly substantiate, the financial crisis on Wall Street began in earnest on September 17, 2019, almost four months before the first death from coronavirus anywhere in the world was reported in China on January 11, 2020, and five months before the first death in the U.S. was reported on February 29, 2020, having occurred one day earlier on February 28.” (See The New York Times coronavirus timetable here.)
“This big disconnect between what people believe about the current Wall Street crisis and the easily documented facts show just how effective Wall Street’s spin doctors and protection racket have become at promulgating a false narrative through mainstream media outlets.”
May 1, 2020 — The Guardian: Debate about “virus origin” heats up.
“How Covid-19 began has become increasingly contentious, with the US and other allies suggesting China has not been transparent about the origins of the outbreak.
“Donald Trump, the US president, has given credence to the idea that intelligence exists suggesting the virus may have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, although the US intelligence community has pointedly declined to back this up. The scientific community says there is no current evidence for this claim.
“This follows reports that the White House had been pressuring US intelligence community on the claim, recalling the Bush administration’s pressure to “stove pipe” the intelligence before the war in Iraq.”
NOTE: Various theories are still being promoted to this day. But what if the entire debate about “origin” is elaborate misdirection?
May 1, 2020 — CNN: “Large crowds in Huntington Beach protest beach closures by California governor”
“A large crowd gathered Friday in Huntington Beach, California, to protest the governor’s order to close all beaches in Orange County to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“Between 2,500 and 3,000 people took part in the beach closure protest, according to Huntington Beach Police Chief Robert Handy.
“Enforcement of the closure was light because officers did not have enough signage to affect a full closure when the order went into effect Friday morning, Handy said.
“The large crowd was packed near the popular Huntington Beach Pier. Most of them didn’t have masks, despite recommendations from public health officials that people must wear masks and socially distance in public.”
May 2, 2020 — World United News: “Epidemiologist Dr Knut Wittkowski — ‘There is no fundamental difference between the flu and COVID’"
“I don't think that there is a fundamental difference between covid and flus. It may be that some more elderly people [are] dying with covid and some more younger people [are] dying with some of the flus. But that is a gradual difference. All flus are different, but there's no fundamental difference."
May 2, 2020 — Business Insider: The coronavirus pandemic could last up to two years, according to US experts, who predict we may see a second, larger wave of infections in the fall.
“A group of researchers at the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) issued a report that the COVID-19 outbreak won’t end until 60% to 70% of the human population is immune to the virus, which may take between 18 and 24 months.”
May 2, 2020 — The New York Times: Doomsday “pandemic prophet” Laurie Garrett expects years of death and “collective rage.”
“‘I’ve been telling everybody that my event horizon is about 36 months, and that’s my best-case scenario,’ she said.
“‘I’m quite certain that this is going to go in waves,’ she added. ‘It won’t be a tsunami that comes across America all at once and then retreats all at once. It will be micro-waves that shoot up in Des Moines and then in New Orleans and then in Houston and so on, and it’s going to affect how people think about all kinds of things.’
“‘This is history right in front of us,’ Garrett said. ‘Did we go “back to normal” after 9/11? No. We created a whole new normal. We securitized the United States. We turned into an antiterror state. And it affected everything. We couldn’t go into a building without showing ID and walking through a metal detector and couldn’t get on airplanes the same way ever again. That’s what’s going to happen with this.’”
May 2, 2020 — UK Column: “Covid-19: the war against the elderly in uncaring ‘care’ homes”
“While governments literally yell at people to stay at home, going so far as to arrest some intrepid joggers or park walkers they systematically ignore the charnel houses senior care facilities have become. In Spain soldiers entered a care home to find residents, unfed, unwashed, some lying in their own waste, others already dead from neglect.
“The painful truth is that in the past several years, austerity has hit care homes hard. Funding and resources have been repeatedly cut, resulting in a steady drop in quality of care. At Lynn Valley, the healthcare workers had their union decertified when the work was outsourced to a private company. Wages and benefits were cut and, crucially, sick days were drastically reduced.
“What followed is the literal decimation of the elderly in care homes around the world. The spectre of a lonely, protracted and painful death for thousands of elderly hovered above the world’s senior citizens, many of whom have survived war and associated hardships. Most of these marginalised human beings were left without adequate care and almost all were quarantined from their loved ones, literally abandoned in their final hours.
“One has to wonder if it was just a careless mistake in the rush to confront an emerging ‘plague?’ Or was it worse, an uncaring disregard for people seen as [of] no further use to society? Was it a sinister cull to save on the high costs of maintaining life? We won’t get a clear answer to that, but it was very probably ‘all of the above.’”
May 3, 2020 — TIME: “Federal Stimulus Spending Is Giving the Lobbying Industry a Giant Windfall”
“As lawmakers in Washington rushed to pass a historic, nearly $2.3 trillion stimulus package last month, lobbying firms of all stripes lined up at the trough, pushing to secure bailout money, tax breaks and sweetheart deals for their clients. But disclosure reports show that one firm in particular, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, emerged as the first quarter winner—both in terms of the number of new clients it registered and the amount it pulled in from existing ones.”
“Brownstein’s biggest source of revenue in the first quarter was $960,000 from three separate entities under the umbrella of Apollo Global Management, a large investment company that Brownstein has represented for decades. In 2017, Apollo co-founder Joshua Harris advised the Trump administration on infrastructure policy and, according to The New York Times, discussed the possibility of a White House position with Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner. Brownstein received $520,000 from Apollo Management Holdings, $330,000 from Apollo Investment Management, and $110,000 from Apollo Management in the first quarter of 2020—roughly triple what Apollo’s various holdings paid Brownstein in the first quarter of 2019.”
“This, of course, is nothing new. It’s how Washington has long worked. But as the country reels from the economic and public health effects of the coronavirus pandemic, critics say the arrangement will end up benefiting the most prominent and well-connected companies and punishing those without access to power, exacerbating the income inequality the pandemic has already reinforced.”
May 3, 2020 — Reuters: A Goat and a pawpaw test positive for COVID-19.
President John Magufuli of Tanzania said in order to evaluate the quality of imported PCR test kits, the Tanzanian security forces randomly obtained non-human samples, including from a pawpaw, a goat, and a sheep, and assigned them human names and ages. The labs reported the pawpaw and goat as testing positive for COVID-19. The faulty kits meant some people were testing positive for COVID-19 without actually being infected.
In late January 2021, President Magufuli rejected the COVID-19 vaccines. By mid-March 2021 he died of a “heart condition” thought to be “mysterious.”
May 3, 2020 — CNBC: “President Trump says he believes there will be a coronavirus vaccine ‘by the end of the year’”
“Donald Trump said on Sunday that he was confident that there will be a coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year, a timeline that’s even speedier than the optimistic projections laid out by his administration’s public health advisors.”
“The comments came during a Fox News town hall at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.”
May 4, 2020 — EU hosts Coronavirus Global Response International Pledging Event for vaccines.
The fundraising teleconference event brought in monetary pledges from countries around the world, raising 7.4 billion euros ($8 billion) for the Coronavirus Global Response. The money went to CEPI, Gavi, The Global Fund, and Unitaid for coronavirus vaccine research and distribution and for the newly formed ACT-Accelerator.
The summit was hosted by EU President Ursula Van de Leyen, who said that “none of this would have been possible” without Victor Dzau of The Global Preparedness and Monitoring Board (GPMB), the organization that wrote the report that launched Event 201.
For more than three hours, global leaders reiterated the need for “diagnostics, therapeutics and universal access to a safe and effective vaccines.”
May 4, 2020 — The New York Times: “In The Race For A Coronavirus Vaccine, We Must Go Big. Really, Really Big.”
“We don’t want to find ourselves with a working vaccine but too little manufacturing capacity. From an economic point of view, it would make sense to install enough capacity so that everyone in the U.S. who wanted could be vaccinated within a month.
"Normally, new vaccines cannot be produced so quickly and in sufficient supply. Each step of the manufacturing process must be verified and tested, and inputs to the process may face their own supply chain bottlenecks. Just as shortages of swabs and reagents delayed the rollout of testing, shortages of glass vials, bioreactors or adjuvants (a substance that increases immune stimulation) may delay vaccines.
"For want of a vial, the vaccine could be lost. To stand a reasonable chance of having a substantial supply of vaccines in 2021, we need to plan for capacity and reinforce supply chains now."
"If we leave it entirely to the market, we will get too little vaccine too late.
"An advance market commitment for Covid-19 should combine 'push' and 'pull' incentives. The 'pull' incentive is the commitment to buy 300 million courses of vaccine at a per-person price of $100, for vaccines produced within a specified time frame.
"If multiple vaccines are developed, the A.M.C. fund will have authority to choose products to purchase based on efficacy, the availability of sufficient vaccine for timely vaccination or suitability for different population groups. So firms compete to serve the first 300 million people with the most attractive vaccines, and the 'pull' component provides strong incentives for both speed and quality.”

The 26-minute documentary is seen by over one billion people worldwide. It exposes hidden agendas, questions mainstream narratives, and sparks a global conversation.
May 5, 2020 — Global Research: “Nevada Nurse in NYC: “COVID Is Not Killing People — They’re Being Murdered”
In her video, a tearful Nicole Sirotek alleges that patients are dying not from COVID-19 but because of “medical mismanagement” and “gross negligence.” She further claims that hospital management and advocacy groups do not care whether patients who are minorities live or die. She says, “I am literally telling you that they’re murdering these people.”
“The last few months have been an incredibly stressful time full of change, but we have to learn and grow from this situation and make sure we build our systems back better than they were before.
"One of the areas we can really learn from is education, because the old model of our education system, where everyone sits in a classroom, is not going to work in the new normal. When we do reopen our schools let’s reimagine them for the future, and to do that we are collaborating with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and exploring smart, innovative education alternatives using all the new technology we have at our disposal.”
Reuters reports that “Cuomo says he believes people are starting to see the pandemic as a rare opportunity to make large-scale changes.”

“Novelist Lionel Shriver joins spiked’s editor for the latest episode of The Brendan O’Neill Show. They discuss the catastrophe of lockdown, the horrors of the ‘new normal,’ and our society’s immature response to death.”
May 5, 2020 — The UK’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) publishes “Options for increasing adherence to social distancing measures.”
“There are nine broad ways of achieving behaviour change: Education, Persuasion, Incentivisation, Coercion, Enablement, Training, Restriction, Environmental restructuring, and Modelling.”
“Perceived threat: A substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened; it could be that they are reassured by the low death rate in their demographic group. The perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging.”
Additional tactics discussed include:
- Use media to increase the sense of personal threat.
- Use the media to increase the sense of responsibility to others.
- Use and promote social approval for desired behaviours.
- Consider enacting legislation to compel required behaviours.
- Consider use of social disapproval for failure to comply.
NOTE: Would all of these behavioral manipulations really be necessary if this terrifying threat described by the media was people’s real life experience?
May 5, 2020 — The Telegraph: “Exclusive: UK Government scientist Neil Ferguson resigns after breaking lockdown rules to meet his married lover”
“Imperial College professor’s study prompted introduction of social distancing in the UK.”
“The lead author of the study that prompted the UK’s Covid-19 lockdown has resigned from the government’s top science advisory team after breaking social distancing rules.
“Neil Ferguson, director of the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London, resigned from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies on Tuesday evening after the Daily Telegraph revealed he had broken lockdown rules at least twice to meet a lover.
“Prof Ferguson’s influential study in mid-March warned that the UK’s coronavirus strategy would overwhelm the NHS and result in more than 500,000 deaths unless stringent social distancing measures were introduced.”
May 5, 2020 — National Review: “Researcher Behind Model Predicting 3,000 Daily Deaths Claims It Was Not ‘Intended to Be a Forecast’”
“The researcher who developed a model predicting a steep surge in the country’s coronavirus cases and deaths has said that he was not aware that his work, which ‘was not in any way intended to be a forecast,’ had been drafted into a government report.
“The data, first reported on Monday, warned that the U.S. would spike to 200,000 new cases and 3,000 deaths per day by June 1 — increases of 700 percent and 70 percent respectively.”
“‘This is not a White House document, nor has it been presented to the Coronavirus Task Force or gone through interagency vetting. This data is not reflective of any of the modeling done by the task force, or data that the task force has analyzed,’ the White House said in a statement Monday.”
“Justin Lessler, an associate professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins and the creator of the model, reinforced the government’s claim that the data was taken out of context. He explained that the report was a draft and delivered as a work-in-progress to officials within the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
“‘I had no role in the process by which that was presented and shown,’ Lessler told The Washington Post. “It was not in any way intended to be a forecast.’”
“While he didn’t address the specific figures, Former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb appeared to endorse the model’s prediction of an increase in deaths and cases as state economies begin to reopen.”
NOTE: Gottlieb, who serves on the board of directors for Pfizer, would go on to say that the US could reach “close to 4,000 deaths a day” as “the virus surges” and that he would advocate for “pushing out as much vaccine as possible.”
May 5, 2020 — CNBC: “Pfizer begins human testing for experimental coronavirus vaccine in the US”
“The U.S.-based pharmaceutical giant, which is working alongside German drugmaker BioNTech, said the first human participants in the United States have been dosed with the potential vaccine, BNT162. They began human trials of the experimental vaccine late last month in Germany.”
“‘The short, less than four-month time frame in which we’ve been able to move from preclinical studies to human testing, is extraordinary,’ [Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla said in a statement.]
“The experimental vaccine contains genetic material called messenger RNA, or mRNA. The mRNA is a genetic code that tells cells what to build — in this case, an antigen that may induce an immune response for the virus.
“The trial will test the experimental vaccine on adults ages 18 to 55 in the first stage before moving on to older groups, the company said, adding it hopes to test up to 360 people.”
May 5, 2020 — CNBC: “U.S. hospitals are losing millions of dollars per day in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic — and recovery may take years”
“When hospitals across the United States halted elective procedures back in March, they immediately started hemorrhaging revenue.
“That’s in large part because U.S. health systems make a sizable chunk of their revenues from high-priced, non-emergency procedures. Conservative estimates indicate that U.S. hospitals are losing more than a billion dollars per day by complying with the guidance from policymakers and the leading medical associations to preserve resources for Covid-19 patients.”
“The American Hospital Association is now reporting that hospitals are bleeding more than $50 billion per month. Private equity investor and public policy professor Meghan Fitzgerald estimates through her own research that it’s about $1 to $1.2 billion per day.”
“Many hospitals won’t publicly disclose their revenues. But the chairman of the Department of Medicine at UC San Francisco, Dr. Bob Wachter, told CNBC that his hospitals lost more than $5 million per day in April alone and that many of the wards are sitting mostly empty. [Emphasis added.]
“‘It’s ironic in a middle of a pandemic that health care spending would be down,’ said Larry Levitt, the executive vice president for health policy at the nonprofit research group, the Kaiser Family Foundation. “But the losses in March and April have been astounding.” [Emphasis added.]
“And some hospitals, particularly those in rural areas, haven’t yet had a flood of Covid-19 cases. In addition, many patients are delaying primary care, and emergency rooms are less packed than usual as even patients with life-threatening conditions worry about exposure and avoid coming in.” [Emphasis added.]
NOTE: Through this mainstream article we learn that there has in fact NOT been a flood of ‘covid cases’ in many hospitals, that emergency rooms are LESS PACKED than normal, and that people with LIFE-THREATENING conditions are STAYING AWAY from hospitals. This blows holes in multiple areas of the “official pandemic narrative.”
May 5, 2020 — The Telegraph opinion piece by Philip Johnson: “Covid is ushering in a surveillance state that may never be dismantled”
“Forgive me if I do not entirely share the enthusiasm for downloading an app to my mobile phone that will potentially let the state track and trace my movements. While I will probably consider it a civic duty to do so in the current crisis, it is hard to believe it is even necessary to voice scepticism.
“Is the ‘new normal’ to be a surveillance society, with tracing apps and facial recognition health passports? The Government insists not; but if we are hit by a second wave of Covid-19, the temptation to extend the monitoring will be hard to resist.
“Then again, if it means we can get back to something approaching normality, does anyone care? After all, don’t we trust our governments to make the right choices and not arrogate too much power to themselves?”
May 5, 2020 — NPR: “U.N. Warns Number Of People Starving To Death Could Double Amid Pandemic”
“The U.N.’s humanitarian chief has warned that without global cooperation and financial assistance, the number of people dying from hunger or hunger-related diseases could double this year due to the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
“‘The effect of that is going to be, for the first time in probably in 30 years, a big increase in the number of people in extreme poverty, people living on less than $2 a day,’ said Mark Lowcock, U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.
“‘And as part of that,’ Lowcock said, ‘we expect, unfortunately, that there could be a doubling this year in the number of people who are literally starving to death and won't survive unless they get help.’”
May 6, 2020 — PIX11: New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo says it’s “shocking” that 66% of new hospital admissions related to “covid” are among people who stayed home during the lockdowns.
“The information was from a statewide survey of 1,000 patients at 100 New York hospitals. The results are preliminary but offer a strong picture of who’s most at risk.
“The study showed that virtually all coronavirus cases, 96 percent, were people who have other health issues; 73 percent of cases were people age 51 or older and in a state that’s majority white, a majority of the coronavirus patients are black or Latino.
“The governor summed up the statistics simply, saying that most of the people getting sick are ‘not working, not traveling, predominantly downstate, predominantly older, predominantly non-essential employees.’”

“In Part One of Who controls the British Government response to Covid–19?, I began an investigation into the individuals and entities that are, effectively, driving the UK Government response to Covid–19. In Part Two, I will expand upon the Big Pharma and Artificial Intelligence (AI) links already identified and will introduce new connections that appear to have considerable bearing upon the UK Government’s Covid–19 strategy. I will expand upon the Bill Gates connections to the various organisations that are advocating global immunisation.
“The UK Government chief medical adviser and Chief Medical Officer for England, Chris Whitty, is saying that a return to ‘normal’ in the short-term is ‘wholly unrealistic.’ Whitty is telling us that the ‘highly disruptive’ social distancing policy will be in place ‘for really quite a long period of time.’”
“The UK Government has been promoting the concept of ‘immunity passports’ as a means of loosening the draconian lockdown measures. It is very possible that facial recognition technology may dictate who can exit lockdown and return to work.”

May 7, 2020 — Reuters: “European coalition takes shape on coronavirus contact tracing”
“A European coalition is forming around an approach to using smartphone technology to trace coronavirus infections that, its backers hope, could help to reopen borders without unleashing a second wave of the pandemic.”
“Britain and France argue people should trust their health authorities to hold such information on a central computer server. A loose coalition of other nations, led by Switzerland and including Germany and Italy, believe data should be kept only on handsets so that it would be impossible for governments to spy on their citizens.
“Crucially for the coalition, its approach is compatible with that of U.S. technology giants Apple and Alphabet’s Google, whose iOS and Android operating systems run 99% of the world's smartphones.”
May 7, 2020 — NPR: “U.S. Field Hospitals Stand Down, Most Without Treating Any COVID-19 Patients”
“As hospitals were [allegedly] overrun by coronavirus patients in other parts of the world, the Army Corps of Engineers mobilized in the U.S., hiring private contractors to build emergency field hospitals around the country.
“The endeavor cost more than $660 million, according to an NPR analysis of federal spending records.
“But nearly four months into the pandemic, most of these facilities haven't treated a single patient.”
“At Chicago’s McCormick Place, workers scrambled in April to transform the convention center into a massive temporary hospital with 3,000 beds — more than the biggest hospital in Illinois.”
“Work on the field hospitals continued, though some projects were scaled back — including McCormick Place. The field hospital opened with one-third of the beds originally planned, and it closed its doors a few weeks later after treating fewer than 40 patients.
“The same story is playing out across the country. In fact, most Army Corps field hospitals haven’t seen a single patient.”

“Japan on Thursday approved Gilead Sciences Inc's remdesivir as a treatment for COVID-19, making it the country's first officially authorized drug to tackle the coronavirus disease.
“Japan reached the decision just three days after the U.S. drugmaker filed for fast-track approval for the treatment.
“‘There has so far been no coronavirus medicine available here so it is a significant step for us to approve this drug,’ a Japanese health ministry official said at a press briefing. Remdesivir will be given to patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms, he added.”
May 7, 2020 — Children’s Health Defense: “COVID: Spearpoint for Rolling Out a ‘New Era’ of High-Risk, Genetically Engineered Vaccines”
“For weeks, talking heads have been promoting the liability-free vaccine(s) that will save the world—so Bill Gates and Tony Fauci proclaim—from what Gates has now dubbed ‘Pandemic I.’ As Microsoft News peddles self-congratulatory stories about the Gates Foundation’s reorientation of its priorities to devote ‘“total attention” to the pandemic,’ Fauci—making the rounds of talk shows—pledges that a vaccine will make its debut in January 2021. Not to be outdone, the White House has now unveiled ‘Operation Warp Speed’—a joint pharmaceutical-government-military effort aimed at ‘substantially shrinking the development time for a vaccine’—and President Trump promises one by the end of the year.”
“From a manufacturing standpoint, vaccine makers—and particularly those making viral vaccines—have long chafed at the limitations of traditional vaccine technologies, which rely on processes that necessarily entail ‘a considerable lag time between antigen production and vaccine delivery.’”
“The rush to develop gene-tampering COVID-19 vaccines is also accelerating the conjoined-twins fusion of pharma and biotech. The lucrative biopharma sector is now the fastest-growing segment of the global drug industry, currently representing 20% of the worldwide market and displaying an annual growth rate that is more than double that of conventional pharma.
“And COVID-19 vaccines are helping rescue some biopharma companies’ shaky bottom lines. In 2017, for example, Moderna was struggling to ‘keep afloat its brash promise to reinvent medicine’ after an experimental therapy that it was counting on proved too unsafe to test in humans.

“German officials warned on Thursday that the coronavirus crisis is far from over despite the country slowly reopening its economy and trying to get life back to normal.”
“‘We are not living after the pandemic now — rather we are living in the middle of a pandemic, one that will be with us for a while — at least for this year and that's being very optimistic,’ Helge Braun, Chancellor Angela Merkel’s chief of staff, told Deutschlandfunk radio on Thursday.”
May 7, 2020 — The Guardian: “Black people four times more likely to die from Covid-19, ONS finds”
“Black people are more than four times more likely to die from Covid-19 than white people, according to stark official figures exposing a dramatic divergence in the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in England and Wales.”
“‘These results show that the difference between ethnic groups in Covid-19 mortality is partly a result of socio-economic disadvantage and other circumstances, but a remaining part of the difference has not yet been explained,’ the ONS said.
“Guardian research last month confirmed suspicions that minority groups faced the greatest risk from the coronavirus and showed that areas with high ethnic minority populations in England and Wales tended to have higher mortality rates in the pandemic.”
NOTE: Yet another “tell” that the official story is not exactly what we are being told. Clear evidence of social conditions as a determinant of health outcomes. What could be those other circumstances? How do lockdowns impact the poor more acutely?
May 8, 2020 — The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 20.5 million in April and the unemployment rate rose to 14.7 percent. This is the largest one-month decline in employment and the highest unemployment rate in the history of these series (seasonally adjusted data are available back to 1948).
May 8, 2020 — CBS News: “Coronavirus pandemic may lead to 75,000 ‘deaths of despair’ from suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, study says”
“The new study combined information on deaths of despair in 2018 (nearly 182,000) with projected unemployment levels from 2020 to 2029, and economic modeling.
“The upshot: With a rapid recovery and the smallest impact on deaths of despair, the COVID-19 pandemic would lead to nearly 28,000 additional deaths of despair.
“But a very slow recovery combined with the greatest impact of unemployment could result in more than 150,000 deaths of despair, the study estimates. Researchers think somewhere in the middle is most likely, with 75,000 additional deaths.
“‘The isolation is causing people to lose boundaries on their behaviors,’ [Benjamin] Miller explained.
“For example, with social norms on the back burner, some people are doing things they wouldn't normally — like drinking in the middle of the day. If that becomes a habit during social isolation, it may be hard to break and could lead to alcohol abuse and possibly later health problems.”
May 9, 2020 — The Lancet One Health Commission Framework is launched
The ambition of The Lancet One Health Commission is "to offer a recalibrated understanding of the ways in which contemporary global health challenges are implicated within the complex interconnectedness of humans, animals, and our shared environment[.] [. . .] directing attention to infectious diseases, AMR, and non-communicable diseases—the latter of which have often been left out of the discourse on One Health."
[The] three dimensions of One Health [include] the shared environment, food and food systems and interventions and medicines, each of which play a role in either the emergence of or response to zoonotic disease outbreaks.May 9, 2020 — CNN: “Our cities may never look the same again after the pandemic”
“With Covid-19 lockdowns vastly reducing the use of roads and public transit systems, city authorities – from Liverpool to Lima – are taking advantage by closing streets to cars, opening others to bicycles and widening sidewalks to help residents maintain the six-foot distancing recommended by global health authorities.”
“In addition to their well-documented health and psychological benefits, greener cities may also be more resilient to future pandemics. A recent Harvard study has indicated a possible correlation between air pollution and the likelihood of dying from Covid-19 in the US, while Italian scientists have detected the virus on pollutant particles (and are looking at whether pollution may aid its spread).
“Neither line of inquiry has yielded conclusive results. But should a definitive link between pollution and the virus emerge, it would “really be a game-changer” for green urban planning, [Jordi] Honey-Rosés said.”
NOTE: Bicycling is good. Walking is good. 15-minute “smart” cities are not. And “the virus” attached to pollution particles? Perhaps the heavily polluted air is the disease.
May 10, 2020 — David Crowe: “Flaws in Coronavirus Pandemic Theory”
“This strange new disease, officially named COVID-19, has none of its own symptoms.”
“The coronavirus panic is just that, an irrational panic, based on an unproven RNA test, that has never been connected to a virus.”
“The use of powerful drugs because doctors are convinced that they have a particularly potent virus on their hands, especially in older people, with pre-existing health conditions, is likely to lead to many deaths.”
May 10, 2020 — The Washington Post: “France mandates masks to control the coronavirus”
“France, the originator of the burqa ban, has done more than any other Western nation over the past decade to resist face coverings in public. But as the country begins to emerge from its coronavirus lockdown Monday, masks are mandatory.”
“People are required to wear masks in high schools and on public transportation — or risk being fined. Shopkeepers also have the right to ask customers to wear masks or to leave. Artificial-intelligence-integrated video cameras will be monitoring overall compliance on the Paris Metro.”
May 11, 2020 — SOTT News: “Face Masks Pose Serious Risks to the Healthy” by Dr. Russell Blaylock.
“With the advent of the so-called COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a number of medical practices that have little or no scientific support as regards reducing the spread of this infection. One of these measures is the wearing of facial masks, either a surgical-type mask, bandana or N95 respirator mask.
“Now that we have established that there is no scientific evidence necessitating the wearing of a face mask for prevention, are there dangers to wearing a face mask, especially for long periods? Several studies have indeed found significant problems with wearing such a mask.
“This can vary from headaches to increased airway resistance to carbon dioxide accumulation to hypoxia—all the way to serious, life-threatening complications.
“Unfortunately, no one is telling the frail elderly and those with lung diseases, such as COPD, emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis, of these dangers when wearing a facial mask of any kind — which can cause a severe worsening of lung function. This also includes lung cancer patients and people having had lung surgery, especially with partial resection or even the removal of a whole lung.”
NOTE: Are masks really for “protection” or are they a political weapon being used as psychological training wheels for coercive vaccination? Are they really for “protection” or are they meant to spread fear and maintain the illusion of a pandemic?
May 11, 2020 — 21st Century Wire: “UKC News: COVID Lockdown ‘Stop Light’ System, Evidence of Gov’t Using MSM for PsyOps”
“Over the weekend, PM Boris Johnson was meant to reveal the government’s plan to supposedly ‘exit’ the Coronavirus lockdown, only what he ended up showing was a ‘nudging unit’ masterpiece in government applied behavioural psychology and a program of highly weaponised propaganda designed to manipulate the public mind into believing that COVID-19 hadn’t already peaked on April 8th and was somehow lying in wait to ravage the country if ‘lockdown’ measures were ever lifted by Central Government.
“UK Column can also reveal a stunning EXCLUSIVE: new evidence that the government is coordinating with mainstream media to pump fear into press reports and headlines in order to alter public behaviour [and] get the electorate to comply with COVID diktats.”
May 11, 2020 — “Coronavirus and Dodgy Death Numbers” by F. William Engdahl.
“The CDC posted this notice: “As of April 14, 2020, CDC case counts and death counts include both confirmed and probable cases and deaths.” From that time the number of so-called COVID-19 deaths in USA has exploded in an alarming manner, it would appear. On that day, April 14, New York City’s coronavirus death toll was revised with a major 3,700 fatalities added, with the provision that the count now included “people who had never tested positive for the virus but were presumed to have it.’
“The CDC now defines confirmed as ‘confirmatory laboratory evidence for COVID-19,’ which as we noted elsewhere included tests of dubious precision, but at least tests. Then they define ‘probable’ as ‘with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19.’ Just a guess of the doctor in charge.
“Now leaving aside the major discrepancy between the CDC headline COVID-19 deaths as of May 5 of 68,279 and their detailed total of 39,910 deaths for the same period, we find another problem. Hospitals and doctors are being told to list COVID-19 as cause of death even if, say, a patient age 83 with pre-existing diabetes or cardiac issues or pneumonia dies with or without COVID-19 tests.
“The CDC advises: ‘In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID cannot be made but is suspected or likely (e.g. the circumstances are compelling with a reasonable degree of certainty) it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as “probable” or “presumed.”’ This opens the door ridiculously wide for abuse of coronavirus death numbers in the United States.”
A Big Money Incentive
“A provision in the March 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, known as the CARES Act, gives a major incentive for hospitals in the US, most all of them private for-profit concerns, to deem newly-admitted patients as ‘presumed COVID-19.’ By this simple method the hospital then qualifies for a substantially larger payment from the government Medicare insurance, the national insurance for those over 65. The word ‘presumed’ is not scientific, not at all precise but very tempting for hospitals concerned about their income in this crisis.
“Dr. Summer McGhee, Dean of the School of Health Sciences at the University of New Haven, notes that ‘The CARES Act authorized a temporary 20 percent increase in reimbursements from Medicare for COVID-19 patients. . . .’ He added that, as a result, ‘hospitals that get a lot of COVID-19 patients also get extra money from the government.’”
May 11, 2020 — NPR: “Coronavirus Infections Continue To Rise On Navajo Nation”
“If the Navajo Nation were a state, it would have the highest rate of coronavirus cases per capita after New York.”
“Over 30 percent of the tribe lack clean running water. Another 30 percent don’t have electricity. Before the coronavirus outbreak, half the tribe was unemployed. The situation has worsened in recent weeks.
“The Navajo Nation is a food desert, with only 13 grocery stores in an area approximately the size of West Virginia.”
“There are high rates of diabetes, asthma, cancer and other issues that make people on the reservation more vulnerable to the disease. Some of those health issues are the result of more than 500 abandoned uranium mines on the Navajo Nation.”
NOTE: Navajo Nation and other Indian reservations have always had very high rates of virtually all illnesses. Lack of running water, no electricity, no refrigeration, extreme poverty, sky-high rates of unemployment, grocery stores with poor quality food, high rates of alcoholism, poisoning from uranium mines, etc. No need for a “novel virus” to explain the array of devastating health issues facing Native Americans.

“Central banks and governments have unveiled an estimated $15 trillion of stimulus already to shield their economies from the coronavirus pandemic — record sums that will swell balance sheets and deficits to peacetime highs.
“The sum equates to about 17% of an $87 trillion global economy last year.

“A newly revised coronavirus mortality model predicts more than 147,000 Americans will die from COVID-19 by early August, up nearly 10,000 from the last projection, as restrictions for curbing the pandemic are relaxed, researchers said on Tuesday.
“The latest forecast from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) reflects ‘key drivers of viral transmission like changes in testing and mobility, as well as easing of distancing policies,’ the report said.
“The revision reinforced public health warnings, including U.S. Senate testimony on Tuesday from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, that prematurely lifting lockdowns could lead to more outbreaks of the respiratory virus."
NOTE: In 2017, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation invested $279 million in IHME to expand its work over the next decade.

“Today the Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announce a $138 million contract with ApiJect Systems America for ‘Project Jumpstart’ and ‘RAPID USA,’ which together will dramatically expand U.S. production capability for domestically manufactured, medical-grade injection devices starting by October 2020.
“Spearheaded by the DOD’s Joint Acquisition Task Force (JATF), in coordination with the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, the contract will support ‘Jumpstart’ to create a U.S.-based, high-speed supply chain for prefilled syringes beginning later this year by using well-established Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) aseptic plastics manufacturing technology, suitable for combatting COVID-19 when a safe and proven vaccine becomes available.”

“Even once a vaccine to fight the coronavirus is developed, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci told Congress Tuesday: ‘There’s no guarantee that the vaccine is actually going to be effective.’”
“Fauci delivered the somber warning Tuesday to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions during a hearing about the road to reopening businesses across the nation. U.S. officials have pointed to the development of a vaccine as a key turning point in the Covid-19 pandemic, even though it will take at least 12-to-18 months.
“As experimental vaccines are created, they will also need to be mass produced to be administered to the more than 7.6 billion people around the world. In the meantime, there are no proven treatments for the virus.
“He also warned there’s a potential for a vaccine to make the course of the disease even stronger.”
May 12, 2020 — Lynnwood Times: “Governor Inslee lays out statewide contact tracing plan for COVID-19”
“At his May 12 press conference, Governor Jay Inslee laid out the plans for the statewide contact tracing initiative.
“Inslee said that the state has seen early success in its efforts against COVID-19, and this initiative will represent a transition from one strategy to another. Social distancing was the primary tool against the virus, and when the state is looking to open the economy, contact tracing and isolation of those who test positive will be the next tool.
“The Governor recommends that people are to quarantine immediately for 14-days upon experiencing the first systems. This includes entire households—e.g., all members of the household must isolate with the possible infected person.
“Anyone who has had contact with that person will be quarantined until they have tested negative, even if they have not tested positive or shown symptoms.”

“As nationwide case numbers show a steady decrease, Trump and some of his aides have begun questioning whether deaths are being over-counted, according to people familiar with the matter, even as the President publicly attests to the accuracy of the numbers.
“The top medical expert on the White House’s coronavirus task force, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has said the opposite could be true: that coronavirus deaths are being undercounted as people die at home without going to hospital.
“The death count questions illustrate the degree to which Trump and his allies have begun to scrutinize the data and advice emerging from government sources: Death counts are questioned, models are doubted, recommendations are debated and discarded and medical experts – even those widely trusted by the American people — are viewed with suspicion.”

“Fox News host Tucker Carlson chided Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading virologist, on his show Tuesday night, taking aim at Fauci’s track record throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
“‘A lot of wrong predictions have come out of Washington on the question of the coronavirus, and quite a few of them came directly from Dr. Fauci himself,’ Carlson said.
“Carlson also pointed out that on Jan. 21 — a day after the first case of COVID-19 in the U.S. was reported — Fauci said that the virus was ‘not a major threat for the people of the United States.’ However, in the interview, Fauci also urged Americans to follow the guidance released by the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security.
“‘This is buffoon-level stuff at that point and we are not doing this to mock the guy,’ Carlson continued, after playing an audio clip from April, in which Fauci said that people shouldn’t shake hands anymore.
“In a following interview with conservative activist Ned Ryun, Carlson continued to talk about Fauci’s missteps.
“‘The chief buffoon of the professional class,’ Carlson said of Fauci, after Ryun called the physician the ‘face of this failed administrative state.’”
Fauci during his testimony to the Senate panel warned that states reopening their economies too quickly could produce disastrous results.

“However, no, the ‘COVID-19’ counted deaths did not all die from the ‘COVID-19.’
“Many reliable testimonies bear witness to the fact that the dead labelled ‘COVID-19’ have not all died from that cause.
“Especially in the old-peoples nursing homes that were under an authoritarian lock-down like in France, Belgium, Spain, Italy.”
“Looking back at what was done with the benefit of perspective, could it even be that a large-scale, planned euthanasia has been presented as the covid-19 pandemia?
“I could have gone on listing the many more lies.
“Other whistleblowers are doing that, and this story is not over.

“A Reuters investigation last week detailed how the government's focus on shielding hospitals, to prevent emergency wards from being overwhelmed, left care home residents and staff exposed to COVID-19. To free up hospital beds, patients were discharged into homes for the elderly and vulnerable, often without being tested for the coronavirus that causes the disease.
“When Reuters asked for details of deaths in three homes badly hit by the virus in the London borough of Enfield, officials at the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which regulates care homes in England, said they could not disclose the data from any individual establishment.
“‘This has nothing to do with protecting the reputation of the providers concerned but is about protecting the privacy and confidentiality of those who have died and their families,’ CQC spokesperson Kirstin Hannaford wrote in an email to Reuters.
“Scotland’s regulator, the Care Inspectorate, said it too would not provide site-level data to Reuters.
“Regulators in Wales and Northern Ireland also declined to provide similar information.”

May 14, 2020 — Unz: “Daniel Estulin: ‘Coronavirus Is a Debt Liquidation Scam’”
“In this interview bestselling author Daniel Estulin says the fabricated coronavirus crisis is a bankster scam to write off debt and avoid blame for what was already an inevitable global economic collapse:
‘We’ve reached the limits to growth. And this is systemic for the entire planet. The entire system is in a state of collapse. So they realized they needed to do something to write off all these debts. . . . When the system collapses and you have 90% of the planet’s population unemployed, somebody’s going to have to pay the piper. And the elite don’t want it to be them. So they devised a virus. . . .’
“Estulin argues that those who manufactured the virus also created a vaccine, which will be unveiled along with a compulsory vaccination program in the not-too-distant future. He expects a major ratcheting-up of the police state, since the bankster elite will need to control a huge mass of increasingly desperate people.”
May 14, 2020 — NPR: “U.N. Warns Of Pandemic’s Mental Health Costs”
“The dire consequences of the global pandemic have been difficult to escape, let alone ignore. The devastating effects of the coronavirus — from physical symptoms to economic complications — have made themselves apparent in headline after headline, week after week, for months that have felt like decades.
“‘The COVID-19 virus is not only attacking our physical health; it is also increasing psychological suffering: grief at the loss of loved ones, shock at the loss of jobs, isolation and restrictions on movement, difficult family dynamics, uncertainty and fear for the future,’ U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said in a video message launching a mental health policy brief this week.
“He added: ‘Mental health problems, including depression and anxiety, are some of the greatest causes of misery in our world.’
“‘Not surprisingly, higher-than-usual levels of symptoms of depression and anxiety have been recorded in various countries,’ the brief explained, pointing to one recent study that revealed an estimated threefold increase in symptoms consistent with depression in Ethiopia since the start of the pandemic.”
“Agreeing with Rand Paul that children needed to be back in school, Dr Dimitri Christakis, one of the nation’s most prominent pediatricians, argued:
‘The social-emotional needs of children to connect with other children in real time and space, whether it’s for physical activity, unstructured play or structured play, this is immensely important for young children in particular.’
“A third major risk, says Christakis, is child abuse. With schools closed and activities canceled, adults who are mandatory reporters, such as teachers, are less likely to catch wind of abuse or neglect.”
NOTE: The alarm bells went off early and often on how lockdowns and social isolation would impact everyone, especially children. Such warnings would be ignored by those who wished to impose the covid agenda.

“Among the more famous big winners during the pandemic include Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who adds $21 billion to his net worth (a 38 percent increase). Failed Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg is up $10 billion as well, meaning he has recouped ten times as much as he lost in his big money political campaign that went nowhere.
“Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has increased his fortune by around $6 billion as well. All this comes at the same time that the economy has undeniably imploded for working people.

“From the beginning of this crisis we have been pointing out that there are two mutually contradictory messages at the heart of the covid19 rollout, and, just as Orwell describes in 1984, a major point of the exercise seems to be to get people to believe both at the same time. 1. ‘Be Afraid . . .’ The first message is that covid-19 is terrifying, unique, [and] an existential threat to the human race. This message is never sourced to much fact, because the facts about the virus don’t really support it.
“The second message is that covid-19 is actually pretty harmless and no big deal. This message is rooted in a great deal of fact, because, as we have been pointing out since day one, pretty much all the data coming out about this virus supports exactly this conclusion.
“No official body has ever denied this, and most of them readily admit it. Regularly and unambiguously. Here and here and here and here.”

Perhaps a little surprisingly, that’s not an easy question to answer. True, they’re in a playground, but what they’re definitely not doing is playing.
“Chalked on the ground, each child has a box. Different colours have been used in their creation, like some grudging, Orwellian concession to anyone still clinging to frivolous pre-lockdown notions of ‘childhood innocence.’
“So how did we get here, to a world in which children can be herded into their little playpark Guantanamo cells not as a punishment but — remarkably — as an indicator of a society’s love and care for those same children? One word that springs immediately to mind is ‘madness.’”
May 18, 2020 — NJ.com: “Gym owner ticketed for opening during coronavirus lockdown, will do it again. ‘I’m not worried about jail’”
“A police officer handed co-owner Ian Smith the disorderly persons summons at about 1 p.m., five hours after Atilis Gym in Bellmawr [NJ] let people start working out — as flag-waving supporters cheered and jeered the media as ‘fake news.’
“Nearly 200 people gathered in front of the gym on West Browning Road in Bellmawr for the Monday opening, some with bullhorns, some with Trump flags and few with facemasks, as has been recommended to slow the highly-contagious spread of the virus.
“Smith — who vaulted into notoriety with multiple Fox News interviews over the past week pressing his grievance — and his partner, Frank Trumbetti, have owned the gym for less than a year. They say the economic shutdown Murphy ordered on March 17 has ‘strangled’ their business.”
May 18, 2020 — World Health Organization: At the 73rd World Health Assembly, the WHO member states adopt the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030).
“The Immunization Agenda 2030 strategic proposal envisions a world where everyone, everywhere, at every age, fully benefits from vaccines to improve health and well-being. The key goal is to extend the benefits of vaccines to everyone, everywhere.”
May 18, 2020 — The Advocate: State data show more than half of Baton Rouge coronavirus deaths came from nursing homes.
“State figures released Monday detail the breadth of the coronavirus outbreak in Louisiana’s nursing homes, with deaths in those facilities representing nearly half of the Baton Rouge region’s fatal cases.
“Figures released by the Louisiana Department of Health lifted the curtain on the extent of outbreaks across the state’s nursing and long-term care facilities, detailing the human toll COVID-19 has had on facilities housing the state’s most vulnerable residents.
“Despite only making up roughly 13% of recorded cases in Baton Rouge and the surrounding 12 parishes, nearly half of the region’s deaths have come from nursing homes, according to an Advocate analysis of state Department of Health data.”
May 18, 2020 — The New York Times publishes a “heat map” showing “Where Chronic Health Conditions and Coronavirus Could Collide.”
“As the new coronavirus continues to spread over the next months, and maybe even years, it could exact a heavy new toll in areas of the United States that have not yet seen major outbreaks but have high rates of diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and other chronic health conditions.
“Large parts of the South and Appalachia are especially vulnerable, according to a health-risk index created for The New York Times by PolicyMap, a company that analyzes local health data. The index for the first time identifies counties with high rates of the underlying conditions that increase residents’ risk of becoming severely ill if they are infected with the coronavirus.”
NOTE: Another “tell” as to how living conditions are accurate predictors of illness.
May 19, 2020 — STAT News: “Vaccine experts say Moderna didn’t produce data critical to assessing Covid-19 vaccine”
“Heavy hearts soared Monday with news that Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate — the frontrunner in the American market — seemed to be generating an immune response in Phase 1 trial subjects.
“The company’s stock valuation also surged, hitting $29 billion, an astonishing feat for a company that currently sells zero products. [Emphasis added.]
“But was there good reason for so much enthusiasm? Several vaccine experts asked by STAT concluded that, based on the information made available by the Cambridge, Mass.-based company, there’s really no way to know how impressive — or not — the vaccine may be.
“While Moderna blitzed the media, it revealed very little information — and most of what it did disclose were words, not data. That’s important: If you ask scientists to read a journal article, they will scour data tables, not corporate statements. With science, numbers speak much louder than words.”
May 19, 2020 — TIME: “Unusual Symptoms of Coronavirus: What We Know So Far”
“While most people are familiar with the hallmark symptoms of COVID-19 by now—cough, fever, muscle aches, headaches and difficulty breathing—a new crop of medical conditions are emerging from the more than 4 million confirmed cases of the disease around the world.
“These include skin rashes, diarrhea, kidney abnormalities and potentially life-threatening blood clots. It’s not unusual for viruses to directly infect and affect different tissues and organs in the body, but it is a bit unusual for a primarily respiratory virus like SARS-CoV-2, which is responsible for COVID-19, to have such a wide-ranging reach in the body. ‘We see a number of other viruses affect so many different organs in the body,’ says Dr. Kristin Englund, an infectious disease expert at the Cleveland Clinic. ‘But do we see influenza, or other respiratory viruses spread to so many different organs? Not usually.’”
NOTE: Labeling everything under the sun as Covid-19 has become incentivized and becomes easy to do with the decidedly non-diagnostic PCR “test” kits. Interestingly, the life-threatening blood clots mentioned in this TIME magazine article will soon become a known feature of the vaccines.
May 19, 2020 — The Federal Reserve Board: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell testifies before the U.S. Senate:
“More than 20 million people have lost their jobs, reversing nearly 10 years of job gains. This precipitous drop in economic activity has caused a level of pain that is hard to capture in words, as lives are upended amid great uncertainty about the future.”
May 19, 2020 — CNBC: “Wearing a mask can significantly reduce coronavirus transmission, study on hamsters claims”
“The study, which the Hong Kong team calls the first of its kind, used hamsters in two cages; one group of hamsters infected with Covid-19 and the other healthy. The researchers created three different scenarios: mask barriers placed just on cages with the infected subjects, masks covering the healthy subjects, and one with no mask barriers at all, with a fan between the cages allowing particles to be transmitted between them.
“‘In our hamster experiment, it shows very clearly that if infected hamsters or humans — especially asymptomatic or symptomatic ones — put on masks, they actually protect other people. That’s the strongest result we showed here,’ Yuen said.”
NOTE: In an ocean of absurd studies seeking to prove the efficacy of masks, this one sits near the top of the class in clown world.
May 20, 2020 — BBC: “UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his wife, and about 40 colleagues and friends attend a party in the garden of No. 10 Downing Street, flaunting lockdown rules.
“‘After what has been an incredibly busy period it would be nice to make the most of the lovely weather and have some socially distanced drinks in the No. 10 garden this evening,’ Private Secretary Martin Reynolds said in the leaked message. ‘Please join us from 6pm and bring your own booze!’”

May 21, 2020 — CNBC: “American billionaires got $434 billion richer between March 18 and May 19”
“America’s billionaires saw their fortunes soar by $434 billion during the U.S. lockdown between mid-March and mid-May, according to a new report.
“Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg had the biggest gains, with Bezos adding $34.6 billion to his wealth and Zuckerberg adding $25 billion, according to the report from Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies’ Program for Inequality. The report is based on Forbes data for America’s more than 600 billionaires between March 18, when most states were in lockdown, and May 19.”
May 21, 2020 — 21st Century Wire: “Canada: 81 percent of Coronavirus Deaths are in Nursing Homes”
“From the beginning of the Coronavirus mass panic, one of the main talking points for Western governments was that ‘No one is immune. The disease can kill anyone at any time.’ Various versions of this propaganda set piece were used and recycled across all media platforms, whereby government’s intention was actually to scare the public into accepting ‘lockdown’ or the shutdown of society and the economy supposedly in order to ‘save lives.’
“However, after a number of weeks that fear narrative is rapidly collapsing as real data and evidence comes flowing in — which shows that the overwhelming majority of public were never at any serious risk of dying from COVID-19. In Europe, the UK and in the US, the overwhelming majority of COVID fatalities have been with elderly persons, and within that demographic nearly all have been from care homes. This fact alone destroys Western governments’ case for sweeping lockdown policies and school closures.
“A new report citing Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam confirms that among Canada’s coronavirus fatalities, 81 percent were in nursing homes — affecting the elderly with long-term chronic health conditions.
“A Yale professor recently described the US nursing home death rate as ‘staggering,’ showing how more than half of all deaths in 14 US states are from elderly care facilities. Similarly, countries like Scotland saw half of all deaths from care homes.”
NOTE: Later reports would chronicle multiple cases of neglect and abuse during the corona crisis that existed in nursing homes in many countries.
May 21, 2020 — The Telegraph: UK public health officials admit that tens of thousands of Covid-19 tests have been double-counted in the government’s official tally.
May 22, 2020 — “Vaccine Trial Catastrophe: Moderna Vaccine has 20% ‘Serious’ Injury Rate in High Dose Group”
“Despite Moderna’s cheery press release this week, the clinical trial results for its groundbreaking COVID vaccine could not be much worse.
“Three of the 15 human guinea pigs in the high dose cohort (250 mcg) suffered a ‘serious adverse event’ within 43 days of receiving Moderna’s jab. Moderna did not release its clinical trial study or raw data, but its press release, which was freighted with inconsistencies, acknowledged that three volunteers developed Grade 3 systemic events defined by the FDA as ‘Preventing daily activity and requiring medical intervention.’”
May 22, 2020 — According to a report published on May 22 by the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS), the average age of those who died from “covid” in Italy was 81. Only 1.1% of the 32,000+ fatalities in the nation were below the age of 50, while 57% were over 80.
“The Italian data further revealed that 96% of those whose deaths were attributed to COVID-19 had other chronic conditions: 59.6% had three or more other illnesses, 21.4% had two, and 15% had one. Only 4% had no other health condition, aside from the inevitable weakening of the immune system in old age.
“‘The latest numbers show that new cases and fatalities have a common profile: mostly elderly people with previous illnesses,’ ISS chief Silvio Brusaferro said at a press conference last week.”
May 22, 2020 — Oxford: “University of Oxford begins Phase II/III vaccine clinical trial”
“Adult participants in both the Phase II and Phase III groups will be randomised to receive one or two doses of either the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine or a licensed vaccine (MenACWY) that will be used as a ‘control’ for comparison.”
May 22, 2020 — Academic: “PCR positive with Ct >24 do not have viable virus”
“In a study by Bullard et al. in Clinical Infectious Diseases, it was found that out of 90 PCR positive samples, there was no viable viral growth in samples with a Cycle Threshold (Ct) > 24. All tests over Ct of 24 should have been disregarded according to this evidence. The tests can’t tell the difference between active and inactive RNA matter.
“Ninety RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2–positive samples were incubated on Vero cells. Twenty-six samples (28.9%) demonstrated viral growth. Median tissue culture infectious dose/mL was 1780 (interquartile range, 282–8511). There was no growth in samples with a Ct > 24 or STT > 8 days.”
May 22, 2020 — Reuters: “Peru extends protracted national lockdown until end of June”
“Peru on Friday extended its state of emergency and a nationwide lockdown to fight the coronavirus pandemic until the end of June, marking one of the longest periods of mandatory isolation in the world. [Emphasis added.]
“‘The Andean nation, which began the lockdown in mid-March, will have lived under it for more than 3½ months by a June 30 expiration, outlasting restrictions in Italy, Spain and China, some of the hardest hit countries in the pandemic.”
NOTE: Peru would go on to report the highest excess death rate attributed to “covid.”
NOTE: Denis Rancourt would chronicle how rates of excess mortality during the covid panic would correspond with the length of lockdowns and degree of repressive “emergency” measures.
May 22, 2020 — Business Insider: “George Soros says Europe should tap up an obscure bond used during the Napoleonic Wars to save itself from a coronavirus depression”
“Billionaire hedge-fund founder George Soros thinks Europe can help solve the economic crisis driven by the coronavirus by issuing so-called perpetual bonds, a little used form of bond that has no maturity or end date.
“These bonds, also called consols or perpetual bonds, are unique because the principal — the amount borrowed — is never paid back, and only interest is paid by the issuing party. They must, however, pay that interest in perpetuity.
“They’ve previously been used in times of crisis by governments around the world to fund things like wars.
“Soros thinks they could be a handy way of helping governments deal with the economic fallout of the pandemic, which has locked down virtually the whole continent, seen businesses disappear, and millions become unemployed.”
NOTE: Leave it to George: Bailouts in perpetuity. A billionaire’s paradise. Handy in a tight spot.
May 23, 2020 — The New York Times runs a dramatic front page proclaiming “U.S. DEATHS NEAR 100,000, AN INCALCULABLE LOSS,” saying these people were killed by SARS-CoV-2.
NOTE: Little-to-no context is provided for the story, and it turns out most had serious pre-existing conditions and/or were elderly. The average age on the list is 77, with over half being 80-plus. A careful analysis of the article would later reveal that, “The loss is calculable and might not be what you think.” [Emphasis added.]
May 23, 2020 — The Guardian: “President Trump tees up controversy as he plays golf”
“Coronavirus taskforce member Dr. Deborah Birx says that though there is still ‘significant virus circulating,’ activities such as golf are encouraged.
“‘We’re asking continuously for you all to be outside,’ she said, ‘to enjoy your Memorial Day weekend, to play golf, to hike, as Dr. [Anthony] Fauci said, to play tennis with marked balls and to be out with your families that you have been in the household with and to even consider sharing social distance space.’”
“Birx states that picnicking is OK ‘as long as you have utensils that belong to individuals and that maybe can be thrown out immediately.’”
May 24, 2020 — CNN: “Pool party at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri draws a packed crowd.” An anchor for CNN affiliate KTVI shot this video at Backwater Jacks Bar & Grill in Osage Beach.
“The Lake of the Ozarks expected a large turnout this weekend after getting a late start to the season because of the pandemic, according to CNN affiliate KTVI.
“‘It’s supposed to be one of the biggest Memorial Day weekends we’ve seen at the lake here in years,’ Bill Morgan, manager of Robins Resort in Lake of the Ozarks, told KTVI earlier this week.
“Adam Kirk lives in Osage Beach, Missouri, and shot a time-lapse drone video that shows the amount of boat traffic on the Lake of the Ozarks on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
“‘It definitely seems like more (traffic) than last year,’ he said.”
May 25, 2020 — CNN: “Americans flock to beaches for Memorial Day weekend”
NOTE: Media and officials claim the crowds could result in a spike of coronavirus cases and illnesses. This prognostication never materializes.
May 25, 2020 — The Guardian: “Czech Republic ditches compulsory wearing of face masks as pubs, restaurants and hotels reopen”
“Pub and restaurant-goers are also expected to keep wearing masks when not eating or drinking.
“In reality, the rule has become inconsistently observed lately. The limited reopening of bars and cafes to provide pavement service on 11 May created the anomalous situation of pedestrians wearing masks passing by busy table areas populated by drinkers not wearing them. Parents accompanying their children to parks have increasingly neglected to cover their faces.
“The health minister, Adam Vojtěch, declared last week that ‘the Covid-19 crisis is behind us.’”
May 25, 2020 — CBS News: “Shoppers at Staten Island grocery store scream at woman for not wearing mask”
“Video showing a group of furious shoppers berating a woman who wasn't wearing a face covering at a Staten Island ShopRite went viral over Memorial Day weekend.
“The footage shows customers yelling at the woman and demanding she leave the ShopRite because she isn't wearing a mask.”
May 25, 2020 — Scott Atlas, a physician and senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and his colleagues write: “The COVID-19 shutdown will cost Americans millions of years of life.”
“Our governmental COVID-19 mitigation policy of broad societal lockdown focuses on containing the spread of the disease at all costs, instead of ‘flattening the curve’ and preventing hospital overcrowding. Although well-intentioned, the lockdown was imposed without consideration of its consequences beyond those directly from the pandemic.
“The policies have created the greatest global economic disruption in history, with trillions of dollars of lost economic output. These financial losses have been falsely portrayed as purely economic. To the contrary, using numerous National Institutes of Health Public Access publications, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Bureau of Labor Statistics data, and various actuarial tables, we calculate that these policies will cause devastating non-economic consequences that will total millions of accumulated years of life lost in the United States, far beyond what the virus itself has caused.”
May 25, 2020 — The New York Times: “Wealthiest Hospitals Got Billions in Bailout for Struggling Health Providers”
“A multibillion-dollar institution in the Seattle area invests in hedge funds, runs a pair of venture capital funds and works with elite private equity firms like the Carlyle Group.
“But it is not just another deep-pocketed investor hunting for high returns. It is the Providence Health System, one of the country’s largest and richest hospital chains. It is sitting on nearly $12 billion in cash, which it invests, Wall Street-style, in a good year generating more than $1 billion in profits.
“And this spring, Providence received at least $509 million in government funds, one of many wealthy beneficiaries of a federal program that is supposed to prevent health care providers from capsizing during the coronavirus pandemic.”

May 26, 2020 — Analysis from Avik Roy and Gregg Girvan, published in Forbes: “The Most Important Coronavirus Statistic: 42% Of U.S. Deaths Are From 0.6% Of The Population.”
Avik Roy:
“According to an analysis that Gregg Girvan and I conducted for the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, as of May 22, in the 43 states that currently report such figures, an astounding 42% of all COVID-19 deaths have taken place in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
“And 42% could be an undercount. States like New York exclude from their nursing home death tallies those who die in a hospital, even if they were originally infected in a long-term care facility. Outside of New York, more than half of all deaths from COVID-19 are of residents in long-term care facilities.”
Their analysis notes that: 70% of COVID-19 deaths in Ohio, 69% in Pennsylvania were taking place in long-term care facilities:
“Prior to last week, Ohio reported that 41% of COVID deaths were taking place in long-term care facilities. But updated disclosures last Friday, taking deaths prior to April 15 into account, upped that share to 70%.
In Minnesota, 81% of all COVID-19 deaths are of nursing home and residential care home residents."
"There is one silver lining—or perhaps bronze lining—to the COVID long-term care tragedy. The fact that nearly half of all COVID-19 deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities means that the 99.4 percent of the country that doesn’t live in those places is roughly half as likely to die of the disease than we previously thought."
May 26, 2020 — Off-Guardian: “The REAL meaning behind Dominic Cummings breaking lockdown”
“From Ferguson to Cuomo to Cummings, the high profile lockdown violations show the establishment don't believe their own hype.
“When the people giving us these orders do not follow them themselves, they are not showing themselves to be “hypocrites.” They are showing themselves to be liars.
“They are admitting they don’t really believe what they’re saying.
“The best example is actually from the other side of the pond — Chris Cuomo, CNN anchor, brother of one New York governor and son of another.
“When Cuomo was meant to be ‘self-isolating,’ after allegedly getting infected, he was spotted by a cyclist socialising on the site where his new house is being built. (Days later, Cuomo made a big deal out of emerging from his basement as if he hadn’t seen his family in two weeks.)
“You don’t invite your married girlfriend round to your house, then send her back to her husband and children, if you really believe there’s a dangerous virus. You don’t drive to Durham in the middle of a ‘national emergency’ if you really believe we could all get infected and die.
“You don’t break your self-isolation early to have a barbecue with your neighbours if you truly think you have a terrible disease that could make your family sick.
“Whether it’s Neil Ferguson or Dom Cummings or Chris Cuomo, the message is the same. They are telling us they do not really believe there is any danger.” [Emphasis added.]
May 26, 2020 — Rather Expose Them: “Psychiatrists wrote 86% more prescriptions for psychotropic drugs, including antidepressants, during the lockdown months of March and April compared to January and February.”
“Prescriptions for anti-anxiety medications and sleep aids have risen during the pandemic, prompting doctors to warn about the possibility of long-term addiction abuse of the drugs,” reports The Wall Street Journal.
“According to Ginger, an organization that provides mental health services to companies, compared to January and February of this year, prescriptions for psychotropics, most of which were antidepressants, were up 86% for the months of March and April.
“The stress of unemployment, social isolation and health concerns are all cited by Americans who say the lockdown is having a serious impact on their mental health.”
May 26, 2020 — Politico: Canadian military details horrific conditions in nursing homes during Covid-19 panic.
“A disturbing new report from the Canadian military paints a picture of severe neglect inside several of Ontario’s long-term care homes struggling with the Covid-19 pandemic, including observations of insect infestations, staffing shortages and patients being underfed and left in soiled diapers.”
May 26, 2020 — Off-Guardian: “Were conditions for high death rates at Care Homes created on purpose?” asks writer Rosemary Frei.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, people in care homes have been dying in droves. Why is this happening?
“Is it simply because older adults are very vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 and therefore it’s not unexpected that many would succumb?
“Or do care homes deserve the lion’s share of the blame, such as by paying so poorly that many workers have to split their time between several facilities, spreading the virus in the process?
“Alternatively, could medical experts and government bureaucrats, with the full knowledge of at least the top tier of government officials, have created conditions shortly after the pandemic struck that contribute to the high death tolls while engendering virtually no public backlash against themselves?
“This article shows that the third hypothesis is highly plausible. The people who created the conditions may be unaware of or oblivious to their implications. But it’s also possible that at least some of them know exactly what they’re doing.”
May 27, 2020 — The World Health Organization (WHO) establishes the “WHO Foundation.”
“The Foundation, which is legally separate from WHO, will facilitate contributions from the general public, individual major donors and corporate partners to WHO and trusted partners to deliver on high-impact programmes. Its goal is to help broaden WHO’s donor base and work towards more sustainable and predictable funding. The WHO Foundation will simplify the processing of philanthropic contributions in support of WHO and make such contributions possible on all aspects of health and WHO’s mission.
“In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO Foundation will initially focus on emergencies and pandemic response, and it will also raise and disburse funds for all WHO global public health priorities in full alignment with the WHO Member State adopted General Programme of Work.”
NOTE: The little-known WHO Foundation, set up during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, is headed by Anil Soni, who has been a senior advisor to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and served as CEO of the Clinton Health Access Initiative. The WHO Foundation would partner with venture capital firm Our Crowd to launch a $200 million Global Health Equity Fund. Speaking at the launch of the project at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, WHO Foundation CEO Anil Soni openly boasted that the fund was looking for “return-seeking private capital” and “economic returns” for investors.

May 27, 2020 — Reuters: “Moderna rally loses steam over COVID-19 vaccine worries”
“Shares of biotechs racing to make coronavirus vaccines, including Moderna Inc., fell about 10% on Wednesday, as investor concerns grew about the prospects of the experimental products that are still in early stages of development.
“Moderna’s stock has more than doubled this year, on the back of early positive data from its experimental vaccine, among the first to be tested in humans in the United States for the virus.
“Shares of the company fell as investors questioned the widely accepted timeline of 12-to-18 months for developing a vaccine for the new coronavirus and also worried about a lack of granular data on the vaccines, analysts said.
“‘The stock was due for a pullback on some concerns around timing of COVID-19 vaccine deployment,’ said Oppenheimer analyst Hartaj Singh.”
NOTE: An extraordinary amount of capital has been invested in this company. Expectations are high. Too big to fail banks. Too big to fail Biotech Leviathan.
NOTE: Moderna would need and would get its ‘Hail Mary’.
“The Bright-led BARDA and the Fauci-led NIAID in just a few months’ time became the biggest backers of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, investing billions and co-developing the vaccine with the company, respectively.”
“[T]he partnership between Moderna and the NIH to co-develop what would soon become Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine was being forged as early as January 7, 2020, long before the official declaration of the COVID-19 crisis as a pandemic and before a vaccine was proclaimed as necessary by officials and other individuals. Not only did the COVID-19 vaccine quickly become the answer to nearly all Moderna’s woes but it also provided the disruptive scenario necessary to alter the public’s perceptions of what a vaccine is and eliminate existing safeguards and bureaucracy in vaccine approval.”
May 27, 2020 — NPR: “Poll Shows Only A Quarter Of African Americans Plan To Get Coronavirus Vaccine”
“The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds 49% of Americans overall say they plan to get a vaccination, while 31% of respondents say they are unsure if they will get vaccinated. The survey found 20% of respondents flat-out said they will not.
“Black Americans are more likely than other racial and ethnic groups to say they do not plan to get the vaccine if it becomes available.
“The survey also found white Americans lead the way as far as willingness to get the vaccine, outpacing black Americans, 56% to 25%. The study found 37% of Hispanics say they will get a vaccine if it is available.”
May 27, 2020 — Mises Institute: “Coronavirus Propaganda Mimics War Propaganda”
“In the period leading up to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Bush administration and its media accomplices waged a relentless propaganda campaign to win political support for what turned out to be one of the most disastrous foreign policy mistakes in American history.
“Nearly two decades later, with perhaps a million dead Iraqis and thousands of dead American soldiers, we are still paying for that mistake.
“Iraq and its president, Saddam Hussein, were the ostensible focus, but their greater goal was to make the case for a broader and open-ended ‘War on Terror.’
“So they created a narrative using a mélange of half-truths, faintly plausible fabrications, and outright lies.
“So we are faced with a blizzard of new ‘facts’ almost every day, most of which turn out to be only mildly true, extremely dubious, or plainly false:
- The virus aerosolizes and floats around, so we all need to be six feet apart (But why not twenty feet? Why not one mile?);
- The virus lives on surfaces everywhere, for days;
- Asymptomatic people can spread it unknowingly;
- Young healthy people are at great risk not only themselves, but also pose a risk to their elderly family members;
- Thin, permeable paper masks somehow prevent microscopic viral spores from being inhaled or exhaled toward others;
- People are safer inside;
- Our personal and work lives cannot continue without a vaccine.
“Again, much of this is not true and not even intended to be true—but rather to influence public behavior and opinions.
“How much damage will the lockdown cause? Economics aside, the sheer toll of this self-inflicted wound will be a matter for historians to document. That toll includes all the things Americans would have done without the shutdown in their personal and professional lives, representing a diminution of life itself.
“Propaganda kills, but it also works. Politicians of all stripes will benefit from the coronavirus; the American people will suffer.”
May 28, 2020 — The New York Times: “The Price of a Virus Lockdown: Economic ‘Free Fall’ in California”
“‘The economic collapse resulting from the coronavirus pandemic ‘dwarfs any problem the four of us had,’ Mr. Davis recalled saying at the meeting, which took place late last month and was convened by Mr. Newsom.
“‘There’s no playbook,’ he said. ‘There’s no precedent.’
“California has an estimated unemployment rate above 20 percent, according to Mr. Newsom — far higher than the 14.7 percent national rate and similar to the estimated rate for New York State, where the virus has hit the hardest.
“In Los Angeles, with movie productions shut down, theme parks padlocked and hotels empty, things are even worse: The jobless rate has reached 24 percent, roughly equal to the peak unemployment of the Great Depression, in 1933.
“‘Economic free fall,’ is how Tom Steyer, the former presidential candidate, described it. He is heading the state’s economic recovery task force, a group of business leaders, labor activists, economists and former governors who have begun meeting to plot a way out.”

“Mounting evidence suggests the coronavirus is more common and less deadly than it first appeared.
“The evidence comes from tests that detect antibodies to the coronavirus in a person's blood rather than the virus itself.
“The tests are finding large numbers of people in the U.S. who were infected but never became seriously ill. And when these mild infections are included in coronavirus statistics, the virus appears less dangerous.”
May 28, 2020 — RT: “I’ve signed death certificates during Covid-19. Here’s why you can’t trust any of the statistics on the number of victims,” by Malcolm Kendrick, who works as a GP in the National Health Service in England.
“I suppose most people would be somewhat surprised to know that the cause of death, as written on death certificates, is often little more than an educated guess.
“Then, along comes Covid-19, and many of the rules — such as they were — went straight out the window.
“What were we now supposed to do? If an elderly person died in a care home, or at home, did they die of Covid-19? Well, frankly, who knows? Especially if they didn’t have a test for Covid-19 — which for several weeks was not even allowed.
“Was every person in a care home now to be diagnosed as dying of the coronavirus? Well, that was certainly the advice given in several parts of the UK.”
May 29, 2020 — SOTT News: “German official leaks report denouncing corona as ‘a global false alarm’”
“Germany's federal government and mainstream media are engaged in damage control after a report that challenges the established Corona narrative leaked from the interior ministry.
“Some of the report key passages are:
- The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level.
- The people who die from Corona are essentially those who would statistically die this year, because they have reached the end of their lives and their weakened bodies can no longer cope with any random everyday stress.
- Worldwide, within a quarter of a year, there has been no more than 250,000 deaths from Covid-19, compared to 1.5 million deaths [25,100 in Germany] during the influenza wave 2017/18.
“The report focuses on the ‘manifold and heavy consequences of the Corona measures’ and warns that these are ‘grave.’
“More people are dying because of state-imposed Corona-measures than they are being killed by the virus.”
“[The] 93-page report titled ‘Analysis of the Crisis Management’ has been drafted by a scientific panel appointed by the interior ministry and composed by external medical experts from several German universities.”
May 29, 2020 — The New York Post: “New York’s nursing home horrors are even worse than you think”
“COVID-19 has killed at least 11,000 to 12,000 nursing-home and assisted-living residents in New York, nearly double what the state admits to. And as the deaths mount, so have the lies and cover-ups.”
May 29, 2020 — Politico: President Donald Trump on Friday announced that the U.S. will cut ties with the World Health Organization amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
"The American Medical Association, the nation’s largest physician group, urged Trump in the ‘strongest terms possible’ to reverse the decision. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the head of the chamber’s health committee, warned canceling U.S. membership could disrupt clinical trials for vaccines that will be in high demand around the world.”

Starting June 2, for the first time since the country was put under lockdown in mid-March, people will be able to travel more than 60 miles from their homes, parks will open and restaurants, cafes and bars will be allowed to serve food and drinks again to customers onsite.
“In a speech on Thursday, Prime Minister Édouard Philippe said the country is entering phase two of lifting its lockdown, and the government will be removing more and more confinement measures because the situation is evolving positively since the lockdown ended on May 11.”

“While early unemployment figures shows the recent economic downturn has disproportionately impacted women and minorities in the U.S., new data reveals that the coronavirus pandemic has hit parents especially hard. And experts say it’s going to be especially challenging for these households to return to work.
“About 51.7 million Americans who live in households with children under the age of 18 say that either they or someone in their home experienced a loss of employment income since President Trump declared the coronavirus pandemic a national emergency on March 13, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey.”

“A police spokesman confirmed late Thursday that staff had evacuated the 3rd Precinct station, the focus of many of the protests, ‘in the interest of the safety of our personnel’ shortly after 10 p.m. Livestream video showed the protesters entering the building, where fire alarms blared and sprinklers ran as blazes were set.”
May 30, 2020 — Scientific American: “Partisan Differences over the Pandemic Response Are Growing”
“Polling finds public trust in medical scientists has increased but only among Democrats.”
“Americans’ trust in medical scientists has grown since the coronavirus outbreak first upended everyday activities at workplaces, homes and schools across the nation. But there are growing divisions between Republicans and Democrats in the confidence they have in medical scientists. These partisan divides extend to perceptions of the risk posed by the novel coronavirus to public health and to views on measures to control the spread of COVID-19.
“From late March to early May, the share of Republicans who view the outbreak as a major threat to the nation’s health dropped nine points, from 52 percent to 43 percent, while views on this issue among Democrats increased slightly from 78 percent to 82 percent. Democrats are now nearly 40 percentage points more likely than Republicans to consider the coronavirus a major threat to the health of the population.”

“Detroit police on the evening of Saturday, May 30, said that after further investigation, it was determined that around 11:30 p.m. on May 29 in the area of Congress and Randolph streets, an unknown male suspect approached a silver Dodge Caliber that was in a parking lot. The vehicle was occupied with the victim and two other males.

May 30, 2020 — CNN: “UK to allow ‘extremely vulnerable’ people outside from Monday”
“Extremely vulnerable people who have been ‘shielding’ in Great Britain — staying at home at all times and avoiding any face-to-face contact — will be allowed outdoors from Monday, the UK government said in a statement ahead of the official announcement on Sunday.
“Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick will announce that 2.2 million clinically extremely vulnerable people will be able to go outside with members of their household, while continuing to follow social distancing guidelines, according to the government statement. The updated guidance says those who live alone can meet outside with one other person from another household.
“This is seen as a boon for the most clinically vulnerable, including many who have not had any face-to-face contact since they were first advised to shield 10 weeks ago.”
NOTE: Indoors for 10 straight weeks with no face-to-face contact? Such brutal solitary confinement is considered a “health strategy”?

“Hundreds of people defied an 11 p.m. curfew, as multiple fires were set and buildings and businesses were vandalized on the third night of protests in D.C. following the death of George Floyd.
“Streets did not clear until an hour and a half after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s curfew kicked in. By then, multiple vehicles were set ablaze, and the lobby of the AFL-CIO headquarters was burned, as was the basement of the historic St. John’s Church. D.C. Fire and EMS said it extinguished all the fires by midnight.”

“He called it the largest-ever mobilisation in the state's history and added that 80% of the arrests were of people from outside the area.”
May 31, 2020 — Rolling Stone asks: “How Dangerous Is It To Protest During A Pandemic?”
“[Dr. Barun] Mathema, [assistant professor of epidemiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health,] clarifies that it’s not possible to know whether these people would have tested positive for COVID-19 regardless of their attendance at the protests.
“‘But I believe the thinking is that when you do have a critical mass of individuals, where some individuals could be asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic and shedding the organism, it’s a really nice environment from a pathogen’s perspective,’ he says. ‘If you’re a pathogen, you would love to be in places like concerts or protests, where there are people who are excitable and close together.’
“And though there also isn’t specific data on the proportion of people wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and practicing social distancing at the reopening protests compared with the more recent demonstrations over police brutality, Mathema says that this weekend’s protestors appear to be better at wearing masks.
“‘There was a considerable amount of concern among protesters and organizers about COVID, so I think a lot of community organizers did not go into this blind,’ he says. ‘They knew what they were doing. And this was a risk that was, in a number of people’s minds, worth taking with appropriate protection, because the cause is very important.’”
Two of the most successful methods of keeping a populace living in fear are the use of false flags and the repetition of misleading or outright dishonest propaganda.
Nonstop mainstream media news reports about COVID-19 continue apace, proving the world’s population can be terrorized by sparking contagion hysteria.
The manufactured COVID-19 fear creates the rationale for a global lockdown, which crashes economies and results in the transfer of trillions of dollars to too-big-to-fail banks in the US and the EU. At the same time, the basic foundation of the monetary system of each nation is collapsing.
As “lockdown” measures are forced upon the world and sold as “necessary to save lives,” warning signs that these draconian measures will cause immense harm are everywhere.
When society is stopped on a dime, when people are deprived of their livelihoods, when the sick and vulnerable are denied human contact and care—that is the opposite of saving people’s lives. That is killing them, pure and simple.
Only one economic class seems to benefit from this global martial law: the millionaire-and-billionaire class.
Those of more modest means have been hit hard by the lockdowns. Thousands of small businesses affected by the retrenched economy have had to consolidate into already existing monopolies that are owned by the super-wealthy.
At the same time as this economic meltdown is going on, COVID-19 is conveniently manufacturing a market for experimental vaccines—which is creating another potential market for pharmaceutical CEOs and their investors to secure billions.
Variations on this theme suggest that “security measures” are being introduced to protect and promote the interests of finance and corporate capitalists; to protect and promote the interests of Big Pharma; to impose compulsory vaccination; and to normalize iterations of a global police state—not for the benefit of the world’s population.
Arguments and questions based on a search for a rational explanation for a set of measures that are plainly irrational, inconsistent, and clearly not going to achieve their stated objective are put forth by a growing opposition:
Is it possible the “covid crisis” was deliberately planned and triggered in order to freeze the global economy and thus avoid the complete collapse of the global economy??
Is it plausible this worldwide “event” may have been a coordinated controlled demolition of the global economy, where the wealthy plunder the state coffers using the “pandemic” as a smokescreen?
Is it possible the super-wealthy might use one of the most lucrative industries on earth as their vehicle to transfer massive amounts of wealth upward and invent another “pharmaceutical gold rush?”
These questions must be put on the table, given the conspicuous inconsistencies and incoherence of the “covid story.”
The one thing not up for debate is the colossal damage wrought by lockdown policies across most of the globe. These policies all took effect in the month of March 2020, when the pandemic lie was declared to the world.
