    This wave of inflation is being caused by Trumps tax cuts on the rich. Repeal those tax cuts, inflation will disappear.

    America has had periods of inflation and recovered. The crime rate has waxed and waned and the nation has endured. There have been deadly outbreaks of disease and Americans have persevered. The borders (yes, plural) have always leaked without significant harm to our country.

    But never has one of our major political parties committed to a subversion of democracy in submission to a tin pot authoritarian.

    That’s what worries me and should concern every one of usual who cherishes the traditions, ideals, and aspirations of the American people.

    Yep, they lied again. And got caught again. They always get caught, which is nice, but it would be even nicer if they didn’t lie.The truth is turning out to be so simple even the public health experts and the media can’t hide it:Omicron is less dangerous if you’ve been infected before, and less dangerous if you haven’t. It’s less dangerous if you’re fat, and less dangerous if you’re thin. It’s less dangerous if you’re old, less dangerous if you’re middle-aged, and less dangerous (as in probably so not-dangerous its dangers can’t even be measured) if you’re young.It’s a cold. The only risk it represents is that our massive testing infrastructure is now disrupting society. If we made everyone with a cold test and quarantine during the winter, we’d have lots of unnecessary economic, educational, and medical pain too.The solution isn’t to pretend it’s dangerous. The solution is to stop testing for a cold.SOURCE: https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMc2119270/suppl_file/nejmc2119270_appendix.pdf

    Truth coming out, quick, call him a quack, sensor him, take away his license and go hide your head in the sand.“When it comes to research, research can only be voluntary. And under no circumstances can anyone receive any pressure, coercion, or threat of reprisal—cannot. It violates the cornerstone of ethics; it’s unethical, it’s immoral to do that,” he says.McCullough notes that the CDC and FDA have yet to publish “their first monthly safety report” on the vaccines, and that as of Dec. 17, the CDC’s VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) has reported 20,622 deaths post-vaccination and over 983,000 adverse events.While VAERS has issued a disclaimer discouraging the interpretation of its data “to reach conclusions about existence, severity, frequency, or rates of problems associated with vaccines,” McCullough says that the system’s death reports deserve serious attention.He cites a June 2021 analysis of VAERS COVID-19 vaccine death reports led by the University of London’s Scott Mclachlan. Mclachlan found that “contrary to claims that most of these reports are made by lay-people and are hence clinically unreliable,” health service employees were the reporters at least 67 percent of the time, and “there were only 14 percent of the cases for which a vaccine reaction could be ruled out as a contributing factor in their death.”COVID-19 vaccines commonly used in the United States use genetic mechanisms to install genetic material into cells, and then the cells produce the spike protein of the virus, says McCullough. “That’s the mechanism of the spike protein, it’s the dangerous and lethal part of the virus.”The “uncontrolled quantity and duration of spike protein” produced by the vaccine in the human body “almost certainly is the proximate cause of death,” according to McCullough.

    McCullough said that the data satisfy all five of the Bradford Hill criteria, a framework scientists use to work out whether one thing is causing another. In this case, because COVID-19 vaccination data satisfies the Bradford Hill principles, McCullough says that reported deaths are highly likely caused by COVID-19 vaccinations.McCullough also mentioned the “non-fatal events that just go right along” with COVID-19 deaths which makes it more plausible that the vaccines are causing adverse reactions and in turn, deaths.VAERS has recorded more than 20,000 reports of death post-vaccination according to its database. Between January 2021 and October 2021, more than 1,000 deaths were reported per month, with over 3,000 deaths reported as having occurred on an unknown date.The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reported 10,483 deaths to VAERS between Dec. 14, 2020, and Dec. 13, 2021.A lawsuit was recently filed against the FDA by a medical transparency group, Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT) formed by a group of doctors and scientists, including Harvey Risch, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.The FDA has asked a judge to grant it 75 years to fully release the documents in its possession tied to the approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

    Aaron Siri, a lawyer working on the case, on Dec. 8 wrote, “If you find what you are reading difficult to believe—that is because it is dystopian for the government to give Pfizer billions, mandate Americans to take its product, prohibit Americans from suing for harms, but yet refuse to let Americans see the data underlying its licensure.”Since its initial announcement of vaccine mandates in both the federal and private sectors, the Biden administration has emphasized that “vaccines are safe, free, and the most effective way for workers to be protected from COVID-19 transmission at work.”

    McCullough’s “conspiracy theories” have all managed to come to fruition. I guess we have to change the definition of conspiracy theories.

    NYP:The “public health” response to COVID has been awful. Ever since cases first appeared in Wuhan, the reaction has been marked by mistakes, reversals, outright lying and even political manipulation. We need a thorough accounting.Mistakes are forgivable. In the early days, everything we knew came from the Chinese government, and while we now know that Beijing lies about everything, we knew less then. In fact, it not only lied about the disease’s origins, its nature and its spread, it kept the Wuhan airport open for weeks, allowing (deliberately?) the disease to take hold all over the planet before anyone else knew it was coming.And in a fast-moving situation with imperfect information, mistakes are inevitable and hence forgivable. Nobody’s perfect.Likewise, reversals aren’t necessarily bad. You make a decision based on what you know. Later you know more, and you change. That’s not just forgivable, it’s laudable: You’re supposed to change your mind when you realize that you were wrong. (Of course, it’s better if you explain why you made the change and if you don’t pretend that your first, incorrect, decisions were based on unshakable and incontrovertible science only to pretend that your new approach is, too.)But lies and political manipulation are different. Those are a betrayal of trust, and they’re especially serious because trust is the public health community’s greatest asset. The record here has been terrible, and we need investigation and accountability.Early on, public health officials minimized COVID’s dangers, with Anthony Fauci telling people that it was safe to go on cruises. Maybe that was just a mistake. But then Fauci told people not to wear masks because they didn’t help, changing his position within a couple of weeks to become stringently pro-mask. The earlier statement, it turned out, wasn’t based on his scientific opinion but on a desire to reserve masks for health-care workers — a worthy goal, but that doesn’t justify the lying.

    Public health officials then pushed lockdowns to the max, telling everyone to stay in their homes and not to gather in even small groups, but after George Floyd’s death they suddenly announced an exception: It was fine to gather in huge groups if you were protesting on behalf of Black Lives Matter.Racism, they told us, was a “public health” problem, too. That’s doubtful in itself — racism is a behavior, not a disease — but if the threat of COVID was serious enough to shut down the economy and the schools, then that wasn’t the best time to be gathering in groups. After all, sexually transmitted diseases are a public-health problem, but they weren’t issuing quarantine exceptions for people to protest those.As lefty journalist Glenn Greenwald recently observed, “This was a pivotal moment in the pandemic’s history: For four months, the message was clear and unrelenting: everyone must stay home. Those who leave — even to go to a deserted beach — are reckless sociopaths. It flipped overnight to endorse a mass protest movement liberals liked.”This is what I mean by lies and political manipulation. People noticed, and the public health establishment’s credibility — already damaged by the mask reversal — collapsed.But it gets worse. Despite a blanket denial from Anthony Fauci, it turns out that “gain-of-function” research at the Wuhan lab that seems to have produced the fatal coronavirus was funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, headed by one Anthony Fauci.

    And as economist Garett Jones recently pointed out, a group of “public health” scientists encouraged Pfizer to delay the release of its COVID vaccine until after the election — which it did. As even Democratic pollster/pundit Nate Silver commented, “I doubt the same letter would have been sent had 2020 not been an election year or had a Democrat been in office.” Yeah, so do I.Economist Tyler Cowen reflected, “No, this was not a conspiracy in the strictest, most intentional sense (it didn’t need to be!), but it did kill thousands of people and manipulate our politics.”He’s right. If vaccines save lives, then delaying the release of a vaccine by months cost lives. To “manipulate our politics.”It’s time for a rigorous investigation — perhaps a Truth and Reconciliation Commission with subpoena power — to get to the bottom of how our public health authorities have mismanaged this pandemic. There’s certainly no chance that the existing establishment will do so.Glenn Harlan Reynolds is a professor of law at the University of Tennessee

    I see some of you are still going with Russia, Russia, RussiaIn the meantime, experts see in Durham’s indictment serious red flags for an FBI counterintelligence probe on Comey’s and deputy Andrew McCabe’s watch before they were fired, an investigation that stretched more than two years without finding any evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.“The fact pattern that John Durham is methodically establishing shows what James Comey and Andrew McCabe likely knew from day one, that the Steele Dossier was politically-driven nonsense created at the behest of the Clinton campaign,” said Kevin Brock, the FBI’s former intelligence chief and one of the bureau’s most respected retirees. “And yet they knowingly ran with its false information to obtain legal process against an American citizen,” he said. “They defrauded not just a federal court, they defrauded the FBI and the American people.”Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), who played a central role in unraveling the fake Russia collusion narrative, said the evidence is now growing that the campaign who colluded with Russia was Clinton.“We already knew the Steele dossier was orchestrated and funded by the Democrats, and now we know that a Democrat operative, who’d been a registered Russian agent and was closely linked to Kremlin officials, served as a direct source for the dossier’s fabrications,” Nunes told Just the News. “As I’ve said for years, the only people who colluded with Russians were the Democrats.”

    Dangerous progressive idiocy on full display.In a prophecy 14 years in the making, the Milwaukee prosecutor whose office let Waukesha parade massacre defendant Darrell E. Brooks off on $1,000 bail for an earlier serious offense admitted his steadfast support for bail reform would one day have deadly consequences.“Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into a treatment program, who is going to go out and kill somebody?” Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm asked in an interview with the Milwaukee-Journal-Sentinel in 2007. “You bet. Guaranteed. It’s guaranteed to happen. It does not invalidate the overall approach.”Some in Wisconsin, where six have died and more than 40 were injured when Brooks’ car plowed into festive holiday parade-goers last Sunday in Waukesha, Wisc., clearly doubt that approach.Chisholm is now among them, admitting the $1,000 bail upon which his office released Brooks, 39, of Milwaukee, for allegedly trying to run over his girlfriend a few days before the tragedy was “inappropriately low” for a defendant with a lengthy rap sheet dating to 1999.That debate over bail reform will rage well beyond Brooks’ case as a new generation of progressive prosecutors — some funded by liberal megadonor George Soros — execute on their belief that incarceration is inhumane while conservatives and weary residents of urban areas overrun by violence challenge the wisdom of such policies and demand a return to law and order.

    Defense lawyers and supporters of Brooks will almost certainly point to reports Brooks was honking his horn early in his ride to build the best possible defense for him and may have been riled up by a domestic incident that had occurred just before the massacre.But the early media narrative that Brooks was somehow a victim fleeing a crime with no opportunity to avoid the victims has sunk like the Titanic in iceberg-filled waters.And if that pattern seems familiar, it’s because it has been repeated time and again in the American news media.Russia collusion – the false narrative from which The Washington Post just corrected a dozen stories five years later — Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers, the Ukraine impeachment call, President Trump’s Lafayette Square episode and the Georgia election call, and the Kyle Rittenhouse 60-shots fired claim all were false anecdotes fueled by anonymous source reporting that crumbled in the face of facts.Brooks deserves his day in court and the presumption of innocence like all defendants in the U.S. justice system.But while that process plays out, an uncomfortable light and many questions face both the American news media and a slate of progressive prosecutors whose assault on the traditional bail system has raised troubling questions. – John Solomon

    FOIA: Newly Released ICE Data Reveals Deportations Have Dropped By 90% Overall Under Borderless Biden Regime“Under the policies imposed by the Biden administration, removals dropped by 80 percent since last years LOW POINT during the pandecic lockdown, and by 90 percent since 2019 – the last normal year for ICE operations. Granted, it is no surprise that deportations are down under Biden, but the extent to which they are down is shocking. The massive drop has also affected the removal process for illegals who are convicted of additional offenses, such as murder, DUI, rape, and other serious crimes.Now, an unbelievable 65 percent more of those individuals are being allowed to stay in the US thanks to Biden’s policies, according to the report.

And those are just the ones they know about, countless more sneak across the border undetected.From the report:“[Biden’s] refusal to enforce immigration laws is one of the most clueless and egregious acts of negligence in modern government history.The rationalizations to avoid deporting criminal aliens are mind-boggling — homicide convictions are OK if they took place years ago, sex offense convictions are OK if the perpetrator has a family here, drug trafficking is OK if it was pleaded down to possession – don’t look in any databases to find out if vicious punks are gang members.It’s insulting to legal immigrants, it will be costly for communities, and there will be people who pay a terrible price because of Biden’s policies.”

    “Officials claim that the new policies make ICE more efficient, but in fact, the result is simply less enforcement, and even enforcement against criminals, who should be the top priority. They have accomplished the near abolition of interior immigration enforcement by miring officers in red tape or taking them off the job.Not only is this approach a waste of government resources, it greatly undermines the integrity of our legal immigration system and ends up causing public safety problems to boot.”Biden’s egregious open-border policies are a slap in the face to legal immigrants and US citizens alike. His short time in office has already decimated border security to near all-time lows – If it’s a crisis now, where will we be if he is allowed to continue facilitating this invasion for another 3 years?Not a pleasant thought. – Gateway Pundit By Julian Conradson

    MSM – biased journalism to protect the power and greed for themselves and the elites.

    They doxxed the guy who said Let’s Go Brandon to Biden but protected the sex slaves clients’ identities; Let that sink in – Red Wave Riders

    They continue to protect Hunter even though the laptop from hell is exposed. They continue to protect Fauci even though his emails are damning. They continue to protect Biden, Big Pharma, the CCP, CDC, FDA, WHO, George Soros, liberal judges and AG’s who endanger our communities by not doing their job. They continue to bring up the Russia hoax even though that has been exposed as a Hillary campaign crime. They protected the truth about the Soros paid Antifa take over of Oregon, remember, the “summer of love”?

    They never called out Shiffty Schiff about the so called “evidence” he continually said he had but never produced.

    They protected Cuomo as long as they could, along with Wolf, Murphy, Whitmer and Newsom. They protected BLM & Antifa along with many other exposed “conspiracy theories”.

    They don’t show the videos/pics of Biden, the Obama’s, Oprah, Pelosi, AOC, the Squad, Newsom, Whitmer, Murphy, and many others in crowds, close quarters, not socially distancing without masks.

    They don’t address the hypocrisy of open borders during a pandemic lockdown. That alone should wake all of you up.

    They are protecting the now exposed FBI led plan for the abduction of Whitmer. Half were agents. It’s called entrapment.

    Now you choose to believe that they are not protecting the FBI & DOJ, along with Pelosi in regard to the set up of January 6th? They have the videos of suspected FBI agents

    The Jan 6 commission has videos of key people leading others to the capitol and facilitating the entry; they have not been arrested. In fact, they were on a suspect list but are now removed. Why?

    The Sad Slow Destruction of California; Written back in 2018, imagine the stats now…

    This isn’t just costing Golden State residents their tax dollars either: “75% of federal drug possession sentences were given to illegal immigrants and 40% of all federal crimes were committed in jurisdictions neighboring the Mexican border – meaning they were likely due to gang and drug trafficking committed by illegal immigrants.”Here’s another statistic: “Illegal immigrants commit 38% of all murders in California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and New York.”Do California officials really wonder why the state has the highest poverty level in the nation? Isn’t it obvious? Besides dumping loads of money into a welfare system that only encourages more people to seek aid, the costs associated with the state’s exceedingly high illegal immigrant population is throwing its citizens into the poor house. But, perhaps officials are well aware of this.As a majority democratic state with a high number of immigrant population, supporting illegals is an excellent way make sure those Democrat votes keep rolling in.https://www.libertynation.com/sad-slow-destruction-california/

    The same can be said of mandating boosters, which is happening even in low-risk settings like universities. A good indication that boosters are a low yield public health initiative is when the clinical trial for Pfizer boosters with 10,000 subjects over 2 months of a smoking hot Delta wave did not have any Covid-19 related hospitalizations in the placebo group to compare with the booster group. Well – not quite. One of the 78 adolescents was hospitalized, but for post-vaccine myocarditis. The science is clear that elderly and higher risk individuals benefit from boosters; the young and healthy, not so much.This sort of disconnect between science and policy sows confusion and discontent between public health figures and the public. A universal booster recommendation that was not based on solid science but rather political pressure led to the heavily publicized resignation of two top FDA officials. When the poster child for vaccine advocacy, Vaccine and Related Biologic Products panel member, Dr Paul Offit, writes an op-ed decrying the focus on universal boosters, it’s normal for the public to question the guidance. If recommendations and policies make scientific sense, a certain harmony among experts and institutions can arise; these policies, however, are scientific nonsense. – Buzz Hollander, MDhttps://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/01/04/enough_already_of_the_covid_state_810407.html

    Let’s face it, the left doesn’t care about the violent murder of a rich, white woman. But more than that, the truth is that liberals hate to see a criminal go to jail. Even if that criminal has hurt a fellow leftist.

    In 2019, a gay man walking in New York City’s Morningside Park was pummeled to the point that he received a traumatic brain injury. It was yet another in a string of violent beatings. The victim’s friends and local residents useful idiots decided to hold a protest against the violence by marching with signs that read: “Stop violence w/Restorative Justice” and “Community Solutions, Not Retribution.” They already knew who was behind the savage attacks. Even as their friend was struggling to get his memory back, they didn’t want the teen attackers punished.

    Why wouldn’t they want the violent miscreants in jail? Aw, you know.

    The left is doing everything it can to keep violent offenders out of prison. Even at their own peril, and the peril of innocent minorities.

    As PJ Media’s Victoria Taft recently reported, woke Washington-state Democrats are trying to reduce penalties for drive-by shootings, a crime committed mostly by black men, against black men.

    Seattle broke its 2020 record murder rate by September of 2021. Now, liberals want lighter sentences for drive-by killers. Never mind that 49% of those murdered in 2020 were black, even though black people are only 7% of Seattle’s population.

    Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and her state’s attorney, Kim Foxx, are a one-two punch of commie crime forgiveness. Lightfoot changed the rules involving the police’s ability to chase criminals on foot. Foxx dropped 29.9% of all felony cases. She also thinks people illegally possessing guns shouldn’t be arrested if they haven’t used the gun to commit a violent crime, even though Chicago’s gun violence is at a record high.

    FACT-O-RAMA! Chicago had 4,542 shootings in 2021; 81% of the victims were black. Spoiler alert: no MAGA hats were found at any of the crime scenes.

    Lefty news is in on the plan, too, going so far as to hide the identities of violent black offenders. Some examples:

    A local Chicago CBS affiliate blurred the face of a black man who shot two people execution-style after a crowd pulled them from their car during the Puerto Rican Day parade;San Francisco’s mass transit office, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), refused to show surveillance videos of black people attacking riders because they might result in a “high level of racially insensitive commentary toward the district”;In a beautiful example of clowndom, San Francisco police asked for the public’s help in identifying a black teen who set an Asian woman on fire, but then blurred his face.Chicago and California have made shoplifting a misdemeanor if the stolen items are valued at less than $1,000 (Chicago) and $950 (California). Most stores won’t even call the cops, knowing it’s pointless. In other words, help yourselves, nothing will happen to you.

    A CNN simpleton claimed he had “no idea” what could be behind the recent spate of “smash and grab” lootings, until he admitted exactly why it was happening: liberal DAs won’t prosecute, and even if they did, there are almost no consequences. Nice try, CNN.

    Defunding the police in large, Democrat-run cities is nothing more than an attempt to keep criminals out of prison. Ditto bail reform. Commie jackpuddings like New York City’s former mayor, Komrade De Blasio, and the now unemployed governor/serial elder killer, Andrew Cuomo, decided to release hundreds of thousands of criminals over the last three years. They released even more because of “COVID,” despite fewer than 1% of New York’s “China sneeze” victims coming from jails.

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed the 130% rise in New York City shootings on people “shoplifting food.”

    More blue cities are jumping on the “woke” bandwagon:

    Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon can’t do enough to keep criminals out of jail, even going so far as to not add a sentence enhancement to a black career criminal who murdered an 81-year-old woman during a home invasion; A Seattle area judge set painfully low bail for two men who ambushed a police officer;Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisolm set Darrell Brooks’ bail at $1,000 after Brooks tried to run over his girlfriend. Shortly thereafter, Brooks allegedly ran over 62 white people in the Waukesha Christmas parade. Chisolm’s website claims he is a “bold reformer” and that “progressive” district attorneys in “Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, and San Francisco” are following his lead.Related: Woke Milwaukee DA Admitted His Bail Reform Would Get Someone Killed, ‘It’s Guaranteed’

    Remember when Kamala Harris pimped a bail fund? One of the guys they sprang, George Howard, who was arrested for domestic abuse, was released on a $1,500 bond. He promptly shot a Hispanic man to death.

    Defunding the police, bail reform, decriminalization of various crimes, restorative justice, and lighter sentencing are all about keeping criminals out of jail. They are also responsible for keeping the crime stats exploding, crimes that more often than not involve minority victims.

    Mass Formation Psychosis, or “mass hypnosis” or “the madness of crowds,” as noted by TrialSiteNews, occurs when a large fraction of the population is completely unable to process new scientific data and facts, demonstrating that they have been misled or lied to.

    In the case of COVID-19, the no-longer-pandemic, Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, and the Democrat Party, and the Democrat state media — principally CNN and MSNBC — have consistently misled, changed their stories, or outright lied to America about the effectiveness and adverse impacts of mandatory mask use, lockdowns, and genetic vaccines that cause people’s bodies to make large amounts of biologically-active coronavirus spike protein.

    Tens of millions of Americans, hypnotized by the left, have been and remain incapable of recognizing the lies and manipulation.

    Dr. Robert Malone, a noted virologist and immunologist whose recent work has focused on mRNA technology, pharmaceuticals, and drug repurposing research, compared mass formation psychosis in pre-World War II Germany to what we are today experiencing in America in response to COVID.

    As you might have guessed, Malone has been blasted by the left for “promoting misinformation about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.”

    Just one problem.

    As noted by The Rio Times, a recent study found that more than 90 percent of Omicron cases in Germany have been “fully vaccinated” (28 percent of those had a “booster), and just 4.42 percent were unvaccinated.

    The bottom line:

    As RedState reported on Christmas Eve: New studies continue to suggest that the mRNA vaccine actually increases the probability of contracting the Omicron variant after 90 days.

    No matter. Experts like Robert Malone continue to be banned on Twitter for speaking truth to power, while Democrat COVID hood ornament Anthony Fauci and Joe “winter of severe illness and death” Biden continue to fearmonger.

    The late comedian George Carlin said it best: “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

    Amen.

    “The Democrats weaponized impeachment. They used it for partisan purposes to go after Trump because they disagreed with him. One of the real disadvantages of doing that is the more you weaponize it and turn it into a partisan cudgel, you know what’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” he predicted.

    The Texan predicted that Republican majorities in Congress after the next midterm election would face “enormous pressure … to begin impeachment proceedings.”

    Despite his doubts, Mr. Cruz said impeaching Mr. Biden could be justified.

    “I think there are potentially multiple grounds to consider for impeachment. Probably the most compelling is the utter lawlessness is President Biden to enforce the border. His decision to just deify immigration laws,” he said.

    “That’s probably the strongest grounds right now for impeachment but there may be others,” he concluded.

    Dr. McCullough: Outpatient Treatments for COVID-19 Have Been SuppressedBY JAN JEKIELEK AND MASOOMA HAQ January 3, 2022 Updated: The public should question why governments and public health officials around the world have put little to no emphasis on outpatient treatments in their efforts to fight the COVID-19 virus, instead promoting a massive effort on vaccines, according to Dr. Peter McCullough.

    “Lots of messaging on the vaccine, but zero mentioning on treatment, none. And it’s been from the very beginning. There is a theme here, I hope everyone’s starting to get the theme. There is zero effort, interest, promotion, or care about early treatment of people who are sick with COVID-19,” McCullough told The Epoch Times. “But there is a complete and total focus on people who don’t have COVID-19 and giving them a vaccine.”

    The doctor cited recent treatments that have effectively killed the virus at the early stage of infection: Dr. Iqbal Mahmud Chowdhury conducted a protocol in Bangladesh that used a povidone-iodine rinse in the nose and eyes to kill the virus. Another treatment effort by French Dr. Didier Raoult, who treated people using hydroxychloroquine, had great success.

    “Chowdhury is the first author recognizing the fact that the virus is in the air, people breathe it in, it settles in the nose, and it begins to replicate. And it has to get to a certain threshold and overcome the other organisms in the nose and overcome our own immune system to become a clinical infection. So, there’s about a three-to-five-day window to actually zap the virus directly.”

    Masks and hand sanitizer are illogical and data don’t show them to be effective means to prevent COVID-19 infections because the virus is spread through the air, not hands, and is too small to be blocked by most masks, McCullough said.

    McCullough said COVID creates “terrible inflammation” and hydroxychloroquine has been shown to be effective in reducing that, but instead of seeing an increase in using and studying the effectiveness of that drug, it has instead been restricted, and in some countries, doctors can be jailed for using it to treat their patients.

    In the United States, hydroxychloroquine can only be used in hospitals.

    McCullough detailed the events that led to these restrictions. “There was a falsified paper published in Lancet … which claimed to have tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19, hospitalized at multiple centers around the world, in their 40s, hospitalized with COVID-19.” He said the supposed study wasn’t verified, and it claimed the drug had negative health effects.

    This “false” study led to medical professionals losing confidence in the drug, after which “hospital messaging started to say, ‘Listen, don’t use hydroxychloroquine.’”

    “The NIH pulled the program on a fully funded trial in the midst of our initial wave of COVID-19. And then shortly after that, the FDA put out a statement: Hydroxychloroquine should not be used across the board, period,” he said.

    “The next drug up on the block was ivermectin.”

    The Epoch Times reached out to the NIH for comment on McCullough’s criticism of the NIH’s COVID-19 treatment guidelines. The NIH spokesperson declined to comment but said the NIH relied on a panel of many experts to develop the COVID-19 treatment guidelines.

    The FDA told The Epoch Times that it’s committed “to speed patient access to medicines to prevent or treat COVID-19 provided they meet the agency’s rigorous standards,” but that the vaccines are the best way to prevent the disease and hospitalization.

    McCullough said that, along with anti-hydroxychloroquine messaging, ivermectin was also maligned after the American Medical Association gave an opinion against it.

    “So Americans saw the most confusing picture of hospitalized care of COVID-19 and a very confusing picture of outpatient treatment of COVID-19. My contributions, at least I tried to organize the outpatient treatment into concepts, where we would use drugs … in the middle phase [to] treat inflammation, and in the late phase [to] treat blood clotting, and we stuck with those principles all the way through,” McCullough said.

    He said it’s highly unusual for hospitals to not conduct trials on treatments for a disease, but with COVID-19, no major trials have been done to improve treatments and there have been no outcomes publicized by hospitals.

    McCullough said improving treatments for those who are sick with COVID-19 has never been a priority for those in charge of public health because vaccines have been pushed from day one. He noted that CVS pharmacies were advertising the vaccines even before they were fully authorized.

    CVS confirmed to The Epoch Times that it was advertising the vaccines in October 2020.

    He said the U.S. media has almost completely blocked out what’s going on around the world with treatments for COVID-19. “Anywhere where there has been an early oral drug approach, there has been success in terms of COVID-19. And now more recently—it was very fascinating—is anywhere where there’s any attention to decontamination in the nose and the mouth with direct virucidal therapy, there have been stunning results.”

    He questions why the United States hasn’t reviewed the work being done around the world to treat the disease. “We haven’t seen panels of collaborating doctors. We’ve never seen a symposium on local therapy, what works best for the nose. No mention by public health officials.” McCullough says those leading U.S. public health agencies are incompetent.

    He suggests that there be a monthly review of new therapies used to treat COVID-19, both at a national and global level, for doctors to review and learn from peers. “The idea that there’s no review, you’d think the World Health Organization would actually assign a task force. This is the biggest public health problem.”

    “So the treatment, inpatient and outpatient, of the biggest illness of our time, after two years, is an enigma.”

    Although Lemon stated on New Year’s Eve, “To be able to share what I … my point of view on television, it freaks people out,” bragging about offering his opinion, he had previously insisted that he did not foist his opinion on the public with his point of view, saying last August:

    I’m not an opinion host. I give my point of view. … Everything I say, every single night, is based in fact. And if I screw it up, I come back and apologize, and I get it right. … That’s what we do here at CNN. That is the big difference between us and networks that don’t have to operate in that realm.

    New Polling on Jan. 6 Destroys Dems’ Dreams: GOP’s Image Has Recovered-Conservative BriefPolling done through lefties Morning ConsultFirst of all, while many Americans think so because that’s what they were told, it seems obvious that a majority of us never saw what happened at the Capitol as an “insurrection.” Those are usually associated with armed action and the only person shot and killed that day was an unarmed female protester and Air Force vet named Ashli Babbitt — and shame on Democrats for not reacting to that police shooting the same way they react to others.Trump wasn’t trying to “overturn the election” so much as he was attempting to ensure that a constitutional process was followed, so he turned to the courts, which was his right to do. And Even Time magazine, a few weeks after Biden was inaugurated, reported on a massive behind-the-scenes pre-election effort that included getting [Democratic] officials in battleground states to arbitrarily change state voting laws and rules, even though the Constitution assigns that act to state legislatures.The truth is, Trump never implored the massive crowd that came to hear him speak on Jan. 6 to attack the Capitol or ‘disrupt’ the process of counting electoral votes. He asked them to march “peacefully” and the vast majority did.In any event, while Pelosi continues to gaslight our country with this phony-baloney ‘commission, it’s not having the desired effect of destroying the GOP.

    zxcar1- ’ I would call you a lying troll."

    Of course, name calling again. What else can I expect from a ‘troll’ like yourself’?

    “The “gas line” would have no effect on the price of gas.’

    Of course not….

    ‘The on-going pandemic is because of people not getting vaxxed, and trump and the right-wing talking heads made it political, even though they are vaccinated.’

    Again, Mr. Trump is not president anymore, but you blame him for every mistake this administration makes. Congratulations!

    ’Inflation is the result of a free market, supply and demand. Why do you hate the free market? ’

    I do not hate the free market, but I hate that when I am going to a store, either prices are already up or there isn’t the product I want to buy. Yes, I hate that. Maybe you are happy with that, but believe me, many of us are not.

    ‘Trump was harassed for 4 years because he lied for four years straight and he harassed everyone else. Then you have the 30 plus years of trumps crimes. You’ve been conned.’

    You are so blind it’s incredible. I do not say he is perfect but at least he did his best. Media hated him, and it conned you too, if you believe everything you read in it.
