thelibertybeacon--2020-11-17--Maine’s Rise in COVID-19 Cases Linked to Face Masks

Just as many Democratic governors are pushing for more lockdowns and ‘ mask mandates ’ in their states , studies and data continue to emerge clearly showing that prolonged use of face masks actually increases the risk of catching a respiratory illness .
The power of propaganda and social conditioning is becoming more obvious with each passing week , as actual hospitalizations and deaths attributed to COVID-19 fall to normal five year averages , and yet , government and their media partners continue inundating the public with sensational reporting and messaging suggesting countries like the US and UK are in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ therefore , people should be wearing a mask at all times .
This very disconnect between public perception and reality was illustrated succinctly by Shane Neilson in his 2017 medical paper : “ When I walk past my waiting room , I see people wearing surgical masks .
This scene becomes surreal when my patients are watching pandemic disaster movies on the wall-mounted television screen , movies that feature frightened crowds who wear similar masks in the vain hope of protection .
As my eyes move from mask-wearing patients to screaming on-screen characters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is happening here ?
” When will western media consumers finally realize that this protracted ‘ public health ’ crisis has been wildly overblown ?
The recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Maine could be linked to the prolonged use of face masks by the general public .
Scientific data collected in randomized controlled trials over the past sixty years has shown consistently that the use of face masks to stop respiratory viruses is not only ineffective , but face masks may actually cause an increase in respiratory illnesses such as influenza and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Janet “ Big Sister ” Mills has been mandating face masks among the public since early Spring ostensibly to stop the spread of COVID-19 .
However , in light of the voluminous amounts of data that were already available at the time , the move by Big Sister seems to be one based more on psychology and brainwashing than on actual , objective , empirical scientific data .
The U.S. CDC reported a meta-analysis of 10 face mask studies in the February , 2020 edition of its medical Journal , Emerging Infectious Diseases1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to prevent transmission of respiratory viruses .
One of the key studies cited in that CDC report was of 1607 hospital workers in Vietnam , published in the journal BMJ Open on April 22 , 2015.2 The study concluded that the use of surgical masks to control viral spread ( which they are not designed to do , anyway ) was negligible and that the prolonged use of the iconic cloth masks , so popular in today ’ s society , actually increased the cases of respiratory illness significantly .
Furthermore , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CDC ’ s COVID-19 Response Team and published in the CDC ’ s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report3 showed that there is a 20 times greater chance of catching COVID-19 with prolonged wearing of a face mask when compared to those who never wore a face mask .
In that CDC study , it was found that of the 154 new cases of COVID-19 , where patients had both a positive PCR test for the purported virus ’ RNA particle and real symptoms , around 85 % reported they wore a face mask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fourteen days prior to symptom onset .
The control group in that study also showed symptoms of some sort of respiratory illness , but had a negative COVID-19 PCR test .
In that control group , 88 % of the people reported often or always wearing a face mask .

Just as many Democratic governors are pushing for more lockdowns and ‘mask mandates’ in their states, studies and data continue to emerge clearly showing that prolonged use of face masks actually increases the risk of catching a respiratory illness.
The power of propaganda and social conditioning is becoming more obvious with each passing week, as actual hospitalizations and deaths attributed to COVID-19 fall to normal five year averages, and yet, government and their media partners continue inundating the public with sensational reporting and messaging suggesting countries like the US and UK are in the midst of ‘pandemic’ and therefore, people should be wearing a mask at all times.
This very disconnect between public perception and reality was illustrated succinctly by Shane Neilson in his 2017 medical paper:
“When I walk past my waiting room, I see people wearing surgical masks. This scene becomes surreal when my patients are watching pandemic disaster movies on the wall-mounted television screen, movies that feature frightened crowds who wear similar masks in the vain hope of protection. As my eyes move from mask-wearing patients to screaming on-screen characters and back, I wonder: What is happening here?”
When will western media consumers finally realize that this protracted ‘public health’ crisis has been wildly overblown?
David Deschesne from Fort Farfield Journal reports…
The recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Maine could be linked to the prolonged use of face masks by the general public. Scientific data collected in randomized controlled trials over the past sixty years has shown consistently that the use of face masks to stop respiratory viruses is not only ineffective, but face masks may actually cause an increase in respiratory illnesses such as influenza and COVID-19.
Maine’s governor, Janet “Big Sister” Mills has been mandating face masks among the public since early Spring ostensibly to stop the spread of COVID-19. However, in light of the voluminous amounts of data that were already available at the time, the move by Big Sister seems to be one based more on psychology and brainwashing than on actual, objective, empirical scientific data.
The U.S. CDC reported a meta-analysis of 10 face mask studies in the February, 2020 edition of its medical Journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases1 which concluded face masks do not work to prevent transmission of respiratory viruses.
One of the key studies cited in that CDC report was of 1607 hospital workers in Vietnam, published in the journal BMJ Open on April 22, 2015.2 The study concluded that the use of surgical masks to control viral spread (which they are not designed to do, anyway) was negligible and that the prolonged use of the iconic cloth masks, so popular in today’s society, actually increased the cases of respiratory illness significantly.
Furthermore, a more recent study conducted by the US CDC’s COVID-19 Response Team and published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report3 showed that there is a 20 times greater chance of catching COVID-19 with prolonged wearing of a face mask when compared to those who never wore a face mask. In that CDC study, it was found that of the 154 new cases of COVID-19, where patients had both a positive PCR test for the purported virus’ RNA particle and real symptoms, around 85% reported they wore a face mask often, or always, up to fourteen days prior to symptom onset. The control group in that study also showed symptoms of some sort of respiratory illness, but had a negative COVID-19 PCR test. In that control group, 88% of the people reported often or always wearing a face mask. Around 4% of both groups reported never wearing a face mask prior to symptom onset.
This data continues to be ignored by Big Sister Mills and an establishment corporate media who simply refuses to report these facts on face masks in order to prop up a fear-based narrative that turns people into fearful slaves of the governor, rather than empowered masters of their own lives via a strong, healthy and functional immune system.
New Study Reveals Risks of Prolonged Mask Wearing
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., professor at Stanford University Medical School, physician, epidemiologist, health economist and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations, said he thinks face masks should not be mandated.
“Masks have a use in certain settings where people use them properly. So, for instance, in hospital settings and places where you can’t avoid being in very, very close contact with people that are vulnerable,” said Dr. Bhattacharya. “Mask mandates, like I’ve heard some politicians propose, are not supported by the scientific data. For instance, there is no randomized evidence to suggest mask mandates would work to slow the spread of the disease. In fact, for influenza the randomized studies that have been done suggest that they don’t work to slow the spread of the disease.”
To be clear, Dr. Bhattacharya is admittedly not against face mask use when used properly. “As I said, they have appropriate uses in appropriate places. We should take seriously what the scientific evidence is saying and not adopt policies that are far beyond what the scientific evidence has said.”
Most people today aren’t even using face masks correctly. Face masks must be changed out after every hour of use to prevent bacterial growth from building up and being re-breathed. Nearly all people in society wear a mask into a business, then when they leave they’ll hang it under their chin, stuff it in their purse or pocket, or throw it on the dashboard of their car. At the next stop, they take that dirty, contaminated mask, put it on and begin breathing through it, thinking they are “stopping the spread” of a virus, unaware of how their handling of the mask has made it more likely they’ll catch a respiratory illness than if they had worn no mask at all.
Dr. Bhattacharya is also disturbed at the collateral damage done to society when governments irresponsibly mandate face masks when there is no scientific evidence to support that position. “I think there are also enormous social harms caused by these mask mandates. Masks have become a political issue, a partisan issue; you wear a mask if you are a Democrat, you don’t wear a mask if you are a Republican and you look on your fellow citizens and say well, you’re being irresponsible or you don’t care about freedom. I think public health should unite, not divide. Masks, I think, have become an issue, especially these mandates. When it turns into a political issue like this we have to think, as public health workers, very carefully whether we’ve actually done the right thing. I think we’ve done a very, very poor job with the messaging, taking the science seriously, and we’ve created a disunity in the populace around masks – the distrust for one another that public health is not supposed to create.”
In addition to Dr. Bhattacharya sounding the alarm on face masks, the University of Minnesota’s Centers for Infectious Disease Research and Prevention (CIDRAP) also posted a commentary4 co-authored by Dr. Lisa Brosseau ScD, a national expert on respiratory protection and infectious diseases and professor (retired) at the University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC) and Dr. Margaret Sietsema, Ph D, an expert on respiratory protection and an assistant professor at UIC. They noted, “Sweeping mask recommendations – as many have proposed – will not reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission, as evidenced by the widespread practice of wearing masks in Hubei province, China before and during its mass COVID-19 transmission experience earlier this year. Our review of relevant studies indicates that cloth masks will be ineffective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, whether worn as source control or PPE……we continue to conclude that cloth masks and face coverings are likely to have limited impact on lowering COVID-19 transmission…”

NYT video from 2018 shows professor demonstrating how easy it is to hack Dominion voting machines
The video is titled ‘How I Hacked an Election’
By Sophie Mann
The New York Times published a video in 2018 of a University of Michigan computer scientist showing a group of his students how to hack and rig a Dominion Voting Systems machine – the electronic balloting equipment at the center of the Election Day voter fraud controversy.
The machines reportedly had some minor glitches on election night, but President Trump and others have suggested they switched votes to Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden. [.]
The purpose of the 2-year-old video was to prove that if college students can hack an election voting machine, so can the Russians.
A caption featured with the video read, “It’s time American’s leaders got serious about voting security.”
At the time, the focus of The Times video was the Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation. The paper and many of its readers were awaiting evidence from Mueller’s team that Trump had colluded with the Russians as a presidential candidate to win the 2016 election.
The professor featured in the Times’ video, J. Alex Halderman, says that the Dominion voting machines are “vulnerable to sabotage and even to cyberattacks that could change votes.”
He then tells viewers of the video how to hack the machines. Below are the outlined points he makes:
“Step 1: Buy a voting machine on eBay, or if you’re the North Koreans, Hack the manufacturer and steal their software code.
Step 2: Write a virus.
Step 3: Email your virus to every election official responsible for programming the voting machines with new ballots.
Step 4: Wait.
Step 5: Hijack the programming and let the election officials copy your invisible malicious code onto the voting machines.
Step 6: Watch your code silently steal votes.”
In the video, Haldermann asks his students to participate in a poll where they are asked to choose between their own university and number one rival, The Ohio State University. As students are seen voting for Michigan, the votes are shown being changed to Ohio State, due to Haldermann’s premeditated hack of the machines.
Ohio State is soon shown as the winner, despite a paper count that clearly shows Michigan won the vote.
The final shot of the video shows President Trump speaking at a news conference, conveying to reporters his support for paper ballots. “It’s old fashioned, but it’s always good to have a paper backup system of voting. It’s called paper.”

For the second time in a week , news of a “ promising ” COVID-19 vaccine sent global stock markets on a joy ride and triggered an avalanche of positive news stories which , for the most part , avoided any killjoy questions about vaccine safety or transparency .
On Monday , Moderna announced that its mRNA-1273 COVID vaccine candidate was 94.5 % effective , based on interim Phase 3 trial data .
Last week Pfizer announced that analysis of preliminary Phase 3 trial data indicated its BNT162b2 COVID vaccine , developed in partnership with Germany ’ s BioNTech , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Both announcements came in the form of press releases — with neither company providing the actual data behind their claims .
Though efficacy rates in the ninetieth percentile were enough to make Wall Street and most media outlets swoon , at least one publication , STAT , pointed out what the companies themselves didn ’ t : Both trials are ongoing , and as they continue , efficacy rates could decline , as “ it ’ s often the case that a vaccine performs less well in the real world than it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial.
” STAT also noted that neither company can yet say how long the vaccine , which in both cases is administered in two doses , will provide protection as that “ can only be determined over time as large numbers of people are vaccinated.
“ Both drugmakers said they will seek Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) for their experimental vaccines as soon as they meet the criteria .
The authorization , which allows vaccine makers to skip standard mandatory safety and compliance inspection of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ winner-takes-all-prize awarded exclusively to the first COVID vaccine approved by the FDA .
The announcements triggered sharp increases in the companies ’ stock prices .
Moderna stock shot up by nearly15 % on Monday .
According to STAT , “ Every Tuesday Moderna ’ s top doctor gets about $ 1million richer ” by selling his existing stock like clockwork through pre-scheduled trades , “ earning him more than $ 50 million since the dawn of the pandemic.
” Moderna ’ s news also buoyed stock prices of companies that stand to benefit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , cruise ships and banks .
Last week , Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla raised eyebrows when he sold $ 5.6 million of Pfizer stock on the same day the vaccine maker made its “ 90 % effective ” announcement .
Reporting on the sale , NPR said it was part of an increasingly controversial stock-trading plan that “ aims to shield corporate executives from allegations of illegal insider trading plans.
” The plan — which is legal but not without questions about abuse — allows major shareholders to sell a predetermined number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often used by corporate executives to avoid accusations of insider trading .
So much praise , so few questions For all the media hype surrounding how fast the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will be ready , how many billions of doses will be available , who will be the first to get them and how the vaccines will get us all back to “ normal , ” there ’ s been little scrutiny of news from from the standpoint of safety and proven efficacy .
“ To imagine that Moderna ’ s unlicensed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year , will be safe is wishful thinking , ” Holland said .
“ There ’ s a reason vaccine producers insist on blanket indemnification from injuries and deaths.
” Holland is referring to the fact that vaccine makers , already immune from liability for vaccine injuries under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 , were granted expanded protection via the Declaration Under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness ( PREP ) Act for Medical Countermeasures Against COVID-19 in March .
In fact , as Holland pointed out — in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a high volume of adverse vaccines as evidenced by this recent notice by the Medical and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency which is “ urgently ” seeking an “ Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) software tool to process the expected high volume of COVID-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction … ” Why so many secrets ?
Vaccine safety and transparency go hand-in-hand , and Moderna gets low marks on both .
The company , formed in 2010 and rebranded in 2016 , has yet to produce a single commercial vaccine .
Still , Moderna was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a highly secretive public-private partnership , dominated by military personnel , most of whom have no experience in healthcare or vaccine production .
Participation in the program means that taxpayers are footing a big chunk of the bill for developing Moderna ’ s vaccine .
As the New York Times reported : “ The United States government provided $ 1 billion in support for the design and testing of the Moderna vaccine .
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health oversaw much of the research , including the clinical trials .
Moderna @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in exchange for 100 million doses if the vaccine proved to be safe and effective.
” According to Public Citizen , the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) owns a 50 % stake in Moderna ’ s mRNA-1273 vaccine , which it helped develop under the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) , run by Dr. Anthony Fauci .
In fact , as Public Citizen reported in June : “ Moderna has benefited significantly from federal support .
As we described in The People ’ s Vaccine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Moderna as early as 2013 to help develop its mRNA technology .
The NIH meanwhile was also developing new methods to target coronavirus spike proteins .
When the new coronavirus emerged in Wuhan , the NIH worked with Moderna to design and test a vaccine .

Under another NIAID contract , the Pentagon is required to buy 500 million doses of Moderna ’ s COVID vaccine for $ 9 billion .

Media Hypes Moderna’s COVID Vaccine, Downplays Risks
Media mostly silent on safety concerns and lack of transparency surrounding Moderna’s experimental COVID vaccine, while stakeholders get richer.
By: Children’s Health Defense Team
For the second time in a week, news of a “promising” COVID-19 vaccine sent global stock markets on a joy ride and triggered an avalanche of positive news stories which, for the most part, avoided any killjoy questions about vaccine safety or transparency.
On Monday, Moderna announced that its mRNA-1273 COVID vaccine candidate was 94.5% effective, based on interim Phase 3 trial data.
Last week Pfizer announced that analysis of preliminary Phase 3 trial data indicated its BNT162b2 COVID vaccine, developed in partnership with Germany’s BioNTech, was “more than 90% effective.”
Both announcements came in the form of press releases — with neither company providing the actual data behind their claims. Though efficacy rates in the ninetieth percentile were enough to make Wall Street and most media outlets swoon, at least one publication, STAT, pointed out what the companies themselves didn’t: Both trials are ongoing, and as they continue, efficacy rates could decline, as “it’s often the case that a vaccine performs less well in the real world than it does in the setting of a clinical trial.”
STAT also noted that neither company can yet say how long the vaccine, which in both cases is administered in two doses, will provide protection as that “can only be determined over time as large numbers of people are vaccinated.“
Both drugmakers said they will seek Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their experimental vaccines as soon as they meet the criteria. The authorization, which allows vaccine makers to skip standard mandatory safety and compliance inspection of their vaccine manufacturing facilities, is a winner-takes-all-prize awarded exclusively to the first COVID vaccine approved by the FDA.
The announcements triggered sharp increases in the companies’ stock prices. Moderna stock shot up by nearly15% on Monday. According to STAT, “Every Tuesday Moderna’s top doctor gets about $1million richer” by selling his existing stock like clockwork through pre-scheduled trades, “earning him more than $50 million since the dawn of the pandemic.”
Moderna’s news also buoyed stock prices of companies that stand to benefit from the economy reopening, including airlines, cruise ships and banks.
Last week, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla raised eyebrows when he sold $5.6 million of Pfizer stock on the same day the vaccine maker made its “90% effective” announcement. Reporting on the sale, NPR said it was part of an increasingly controversial stock-trading plan that “aims to shield corporate executives from allegations of illegal insider trading plans.” The plan — which is legal but not without questions about abuse — allows major shareholders to sell a predetermined number of shares at a predetermined time and is often used by corporate executives to avoid accusations of insider trading.
So much praise, so few questions
For all the media hype surrounding how fast the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will be ready, how many billions of doses will be available, who will be the first to get them and how the vaccines will get us all back to “normal,” there’s been little scrutiny of news from from the standpoint of safety and proven efficacy.
That’s a mistake, according to Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) general counsel.
“To imagine that Moderna’s unlicensed COVID vaccine, tested for under a year, will be safe is wishful thinking,” Holland said. “There’s a reason vaccine producers insist on blanket indemnification from injuries and deaths.”
Holland is referring to the fact that vaccine makers, already immune from liability for vaccine injuries under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, were granted expanded protection via the Declaration Under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act for Medical Countermeasures Against COVID-19 in March.
In fact, as Holland pointed out — in the EU, at least — officials expect a high volume of adverse vaccines as evidenced by this recent notice by the Medical and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency which is “urgently” seeking an “Artificial Intelligence (AI) software tool to process the expected high volume of COVID-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction …”
Why so many secrets?
Vaccine safety and transparency go hand-in-hand, and Moderna gets low marks on both. The company, formed in 2010 and rebranded in 2016, has yet to produce a single commercial vaccine. Still, Moderna was able to enroll in Operation Warp Speed, a highly secretive public-private partnership, dominated by military personnel, most of whom have no experience in healthcare or vaccine production. Participation in the program means that taxpayers are footing a big chunk of the bill for developing Moderna’s vaccine. As the New York Times reported:
“The United States government provided $1 billion in support for the design and testing of the Moderna vaccine. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health oversaw much of the research, including the clinical trials. Moderna also received an additional $1.5 billion in exchange for 100 million doses if the vaccine proved to be safe and effective.”
According to Public Citizen, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) owns a 50% stake in Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine, which it helped develop under the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), run by Dr. Anthony Fauci. In fact, as Public Citizen reported in June:
“Moderna has benefited significantly from federal support. As we described in The People’s Vaccine, the U.S. government provided millions of dollars to Moderna as early as 2013 to help develop its mRNA technology. The NIH meanwhile was also developing new methods to target coronavirus spike proteins. When the new coronavirus emerged in Wuhan, the NIH worked with Moderna to design and test a vaccine. The U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority (BARDA) has provided Moderna an additional $483 million to further develop the vaccine and scale-up manufacturing.”
Despite all the taxpayer money behind the development of vaccines by Moderna and other enrollees in Operation Warp Speed, lack of transparency dominates the program and the contracts between drugmakers and the U.S. government.
For example, in October CHD reported on a contract between the NIAID and the leading vaccine candidate Moderna. The contract, obtained by journalist Emily Kopp of Congressional Quarterly, through a Freedom of Information Act request to the NIH, was heavily redacted, raising questions about Fauci, transparency and conflicts of interest. Under another NIAID contract, the Pentagon is required to buy 500 million doses of Moderna’s COVID vaccine for $9 billion.
Speed trumps safety?
Like the Pfizer vaccine, Moderna’s mRNA-1273 uses synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA) technology — a type of genetic engineering never before used, much less proven safe, in vaccine production.
Yet under Operation Warp Speed, vaccine makers are rushing this untested and unproven technology to market in record time.
Here’s how the technology works, according to Horizon, the EU Research and Innovation Magazine:
“To produce an mRNA vaccine, scientists produce a synthetic version of the mRNA that a virus uses to build its infectious proteins. This mRNA is delivered into the human body, whose cells read it as instructions to build that viral protein, and therefore create some of the virus’s molecules themselves. These proteins are solitary, so they do not assemble to form a virus. The immune system then detects these viral proteins and starts to produce a defensive response to them.”
Because there are no mRNA vaccines in use yet, it’s impossible to predict what type of long-term unintended consequences or injuries could arise from their use.
Tal Brosh, head of the Infectious Disease Unit at Samson Assuta Ashdod Hospital, this week told the Jerusalem Post that the mRNA vaccines come with “unique and unknown risks,” including local and systemic inflammatory responses that could lead to autoimmune conditions.
The Jerusalem Post also mentioned an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a division of the NIH, which said other risks associated with mRNA vaccines include the bio-distribution and persistence of the induced immunogen expression; possible development of auto-reactive antibodies; and toxic effects of any non-native nucleotides and delivery system components.
Absent from Monday’s news reports on the Moderna vaccine was another potential risk tied to Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine: The vaccine relies on a nanoparticle-based “carrier system” containing a synthetic chemical called polyethylene glycol (PEG). Roughly seven in 10 Americans may already be sensitized to PEG, which may result in reduced efficacy of the vaccine and an increase in adverse side effects.
That’s not news to Moderna. In a statement filed in 2018 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the drugmaker told investors that the use of PEG in its vaccines “could lead to significant adverse events in one or more of our clinical trials.”
In June 2020, CHD reported on the story of Ian Haydon, who was among 15 volunteers in the high dose group for Moderna’s COVID vaccine trial. Within 45 days, three participants — 20% of the volunteers, including Haydon — experienced “serious” adverse events according to Moderna’s press release, meaning they required hospitalization or medical intervention. Less than 12 hours after vaccination, Haydon suffered muscle aches, vomiting, spiked a 103.2 degree fever and lost consciousness. His Moderna trial supervisor instructed Haydon to call 911 and Haydon described himself as being the “sickest in his life.” Moderna let Haydon, who had been selected for the trial based on his robust “good health,” believe the illness was just a sad coincidence unrelated to the jab. Moderna never told Haydon he was suffering an adverse event.
In August, CHD sent letters to Dr. Jerry Menikoff, director of the Office for Human Research Protections, Department of Health and Human Services and Fauci, in his role as director of NIAID, detailing concerns about the use of PEG in Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine. In the letter to Menikoff, CHD wrote that the use of PEG in drugs and vaccines is increasingly controversial due to the well-documented incidence of adverse PEG-related immune reactions, including life-threatening anaphylaxis. In the letter to Fauci, CHD urged Fauci to require Moderna to inform clinical trial participants of the unique risks associated with PEG in the “NIAID-funded Moderna mRNA1273 vaccine.”
As the weeks pass with more news on a coming COVID vaccine, perhaps more mainstream media will expose the risks and lack of transparency surrounding the vaccines, in addition to focusing on the potential benefits.

KEN’S CORNER: Impossible … But True

Unexplainable things happen to all of us .
Some will admit it , and some will not .
There are times when it seems that there is indeed a divine hand in the doings and happenings of this world , and our lives are a tapestry of wonder , and astonishment .
We explain it as chance , and rationalize it with every fiber of logic we can muster , but in the end , it is fear that pushes it aside .
With the chance of being labeled strange , I ’ m going to tell you just four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is all I have room for tonight , but I ’ ll tell you a fifth another time that will pail all of this .
I swear to you , this is all true .
ONE : It was the summer of 1956 .
My family and I were on the midway of Pontchartrain Beach .
Everyone was having a good time .
Children were running and laughing , and there was the smell of popcorn and cotton candy in the air .
We had just finished a ride , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down the sloping exit ramp , and past the heavy swinging gate , held in place by a large spring .
She ran to my smiling parents , and they asked her if it had been fun… It was the ride called “ The Whip ” and it looked like a tea-cup with a saucer stuck to the back , you know the one .
It went around in a circle and because it was imbalanced would whip with a force that would pin you to the back .
It was controlled by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the “ bad boys ” would show off by turning it at the proper moment , pinning their screaming girl friends to the back .
Suddenly I got this feeling .
Can ’ t say I can describe it really .
I was only about seven then , not knowing the ways of the world , but this feeling was strong and directing my attention to the ride .
I saw and focused on a little girl walking with her friends to get into a vacant tea-cup .
I knew something bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and I couldn ’ t take my eyes off of her .
Behind me I could hear my father calling for me to come on , but then… Her leg slipped into the hole , the slot , where the machinery met the tea-cup under the wooden floor .
Then the heavy tea-cup swung off balanced and pinned her leg with a smacking force strong enough to break it .
She screamed .
I remember her scream , and I made a promise to myself .
If ever that feeling happened again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no matter how foolish I might have looked .
I chided myself for not yelling out , but then , there is a kind of fear about such things… TWO : Back in New Orleans in 1974… , back from San Diego and Vietnam , newly married , I was about to start University .
We lived for a short while with my mother-in-law , “ Dolsie , ” as we were looking for an apartment .
I went out with some old friends to the New Orleans Hypnotists Association meeting , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were things I saw that night that I don ’ t have the room for here , but one very strange thing happened that I must tell you about… While my friend the nurse was hypnotized , they made her guess a number from one to a hundred .
The number was passed around on a scrap of paper , too fast for me to see , but I thought it was 29 .
We were supposed to think that number .
My friend the X-ray Tec didn ’ t see it ether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think 29 .
“ On the blackboard of your mind you will see a number , ” said the hypnotist .
“ What is the first digit ?
” “ Two !
” she said quickly .
“ Yes , ” he said .
“ Now , look at the second digit .
It is written as plain as day .
What is it ?
” “ Nine !
” she said , as quick as the first .
“ No dear , that ’ s wrong .
Try again .
Look at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” He said with a commanding voice .
“ Seven !
” I looked at my friend .
She had chosen every number that was being thought !
My friends dropped me off around 22:30 , and I couldn ’ t get all that I had seen out of my head .
My Mother-in-law walked into the living room where I had just sat down on the sofa .
“ Had a good time ?
” she asked .
“ Wow , it was so strange !
” I said excitedly .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ form one to a hundred… ” “ Was it 27 ?
” she asked .
THREE : Maddy and I were sitting around one night playing cards .
I have never seen anyone ever beat her .
Her uncle taught her the game , and I always thought she knew what the cards were .
“ What is this card ?
” I said pointing to the freshly shuffled deck .
“ Ten of diamonds , ” she said .
I turned over the ten of diamonds .
“ What is this one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ next one in the pile .
“ Jack of Clubs , ” she said .
I turned over the Jack of clubs .
“ And this one ?
” “ Three of diamonds ” ..and it was .
“ And this ?
” “ Seven of hearts… ” It was .
We looked at each other , and I could see and feel the same thing she did .
Fear of the unknown .
I can ’ t remember ever playing cards with her again .
FOUR : We were at the Evangeline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I remember the oilfield was poor , and so was I. I had about sixty dollars in my pocket , for our gambling and lunch .
Several races went by and we won them all , just missing the daily double .
I was betting three dollars at a time .
I was feeling good , and the sun was streaming through the window making a halo on Maddy ’ s blonde hair .
“ You look beautiful Maddy.
” I said .
“ You look like an angel , …the only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wings.
” I turned the page for the next race .
There , on line three , ANGEL WITHOUT WINGS , was number three .
It was a long shot , but I knew without a doubt it would win .
I looked in my wallet .
I had fourteen dollars left .
I knew if I had had my entire life ’ s savings in that wallet that I would have bet the whole thing .
It wasn ’ t even expected to show , but I bet all I had .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ start , and laid back , slowly creeping past one , and then another horse .
In the stretch it was number four .
I was yelling… “ Angel without wings !
Angel without wings !
” Sweat was pouring from me like a heart attack .
I can ’ t ever remember being so excited .
It pulled up to number three and then took off like it had wings !
In a moment it was first and left the last one behind by several lengths on the line .
I had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 67.30 .
From the Author , Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade , peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts .
Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions , further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty .
And so , as we are pulled by forces we can not fathom , powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future , unaccountable trillions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on our backs as debt , we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour : Are we going to fight for our master ’ s tyranny , or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution ?
Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty , or the shackles of voluntary servitude ?
Will it be a war for corporate profit , or a war to regain our ability to self govern , as the blood and toil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their children , as a gift ?
I fear that decision is emanate .
I fear that any decision will be a hard one , but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us .
The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate , and for this we are grateful and excited !

FOUR: We were at the Evangeline Downs Race Track about ten years ago. I remember the oilfield was poor, and so was I. I had about sixty dollars in my pocket, for our gambling and lunch. Several races went by and we won them all, just missing the daily double. I was betting three dollars at a time. I was feeling good, and the sun was streaming through the window making a halo on Maddy’s blonde hair. “You look beautiful Maddy.” I said. “You look like an angel, …the only thing you don’t have is wings.” I turned the page for the next race. There, on line three, ANGEL WITHOUT WINGS, was number three. It was a long shot, but I knew without a doubt it would win. I looked in my wallet. I had fourteen dollars left. I knew if I had had my entire life’s savings in that wallet that I would have bet the whole thing. It wasn’t even expected to show, but I bet all I had. It was second to last at the start, and laid back, slowly creeping past one, and then another horse. In the stretch it was number four. I was yelling… “Angel without wings! Angel without wings!” Sweat was pouring from me like a heart attack. I can’t ever remember being so excited. It pulled up to number three and then took off like it had wings! In a moment it was first and left the last one behind by several lengths on the line. I had to sit down. I had won $67.30.

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade, peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts. Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions, further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty. And so, as we are pulled by forces we cannot fathom, powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future, unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt, we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour: Are we going to fight for our master’s tyranny, or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution? Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty, or the shackles of voluntary servitude? Will it be a war for corporate profit, or a war to regain our ability to self govern, as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us, their children, as a gift? I fear that decision is emanate. I fear that any decision will be a hard one, but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

The club, Creo Syndicate, works with around 200 families who pay a ‘very reasonable’ flat fee to join, and must commit to making their first investment in climate and sustainability within six months, according to founder and director, Régine Clément.
Creo’s members include investor Jeremy Grantham and Nat Simmons – the son of Renaissance Technologies’ billionaire founder James Simmons. According to the report, “Part of building trust with wealthy families is keeping their secrets. In addition to Grantham and Simons, the group’s ranks include other well-known billionaires whose names Creo won’t disclose. A mantra is “no tourists allowed.”
“This is not philanthropy, this is investment,” said Clément, adding “We grow entirely through introductions. We never seek out a family.”
Creo currently has over $800 billion under management, according to the report.
Acting essentially as a mini-investment bank, the nonprofit vets approximately 300 deals per year – connecting member investors with potential partners, while researching technologies for future investments. And because Creo makes no fees on any deals, and ultra-wealthy families ‘generally aren’t trying to pitch to each other,’ “There’s not a lot of hidden agendas.”
“Members have invested in everything from batteries and hydrogen fuel to regenerative farmland and greener product packaging. Portfolios include still unproven technologies such as methods for carbon capture and true long shots like fusion reactors.” The key to Creo’s success, members say, is how it gets very wealthy investors in the same room—or on the same Zoom call. “You have people with a decade of experience and people with a month of experience,” says longtime member Reuben Munger, a hedge fund manager who founded Vision Ridge Partners as his family office and later turned it into an investment firm. With more than $1 billion under management, it specializes in sustainable assets. –Bloomberg
Those interested in joining Creo must have assets of at least $100 million and pass a board approval process. The investments aren’t mainstream, however according to Spring Lane Capital managing director Christian Zabbal, co-chair of Creo’s board, “It’s fine, because these families are comfortable being pioneers,” adding “What Creo is doing today is essentially a preview of what institutional capital will do very shortly.”
Creo members make a wide variety of bets that might make a difference—and make money… … Superwealthy families, [says Clément], have an advantage over other players: Managing money for future generations, they can afford to wait a decade or more for investments to bear fruit. Some members in Europe have been rich for hundreds of years. Families “are naturally inclined to think long term,” she says. –Bloomberg
In four years, the nonprofit’s membership has grown by 400%, and affiliates’ assets have risen eightfold – starting with less than $100 billion in 2016. Growth has been so explosive that Creo has had to double its staff in the past year; 10 in the US and two in the UK. The nonprofit has tried to attract even more capital by approaching large institutional investors who want to participate in green investments, such as CDPQ, a Quebec-based pension fund with $333 billion in assets that has launched a $500 million climate and sustainability strategy.
One family participating in the fund is France’s Mulliez family – which owns a global retail empire worth over $38 billion. Family members decided they wanted to ‘take climate change more seriously’ when it came to their investment portfolio, so they directed their Delphine Descamps, managing director at the Mulliez family office (which invests around $236 million per year) to explore options.
“This space is very broad, and it’s complicated,” said Descamps.
The Mulliez family owns a giant supermarket chain, Auchan—basically France’s answer to Walmart. Their conversations with other Creo members led to a decision to concentrate on food in their climate-focused portfolio. Agriculture accounts for about 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and better farming practices could fight climate change by both reducing pollution and sequestering more carbon in soils. Sustainable forms of aquaculture, meanwhile, could satisfy demand for protein with far less pollution than other kinds of meat. The family invested in Gotham Greens, an indoor urban farming company, and two companies involved in aquaculture: Kingfish Zeeland, which runs high-tech fish farms, and InnovaFeed, which raises insects as feed for farm-raised seafood. This year the Mulliez family office led a fundraising round for Hungry Harvest, a startup that sends consumers weekly boxes of produce. When Descamps asked Creo if it knew of any other mission-driven investors looking for deals focused on reducing food waste, she was introduced to Quadia, a Geneva-based impact investor that helped close the $13.7 million investment round in September. –Bloomberg
Another board co-chair, Jason Scott, says that wealthy families want to “be at the front of the parade,” and scoffs at the thought that investing in green technologies is becoming a bubble. “You’re talking about changing the way food is grown and transported and what people eat, how energy is delivered to people’s homes, what people drive, the way people build cities,” he said, adding “You’re talking about a complete reconfiguration of the global economy.”

“The opportunities are tremendous, but it’s also overwhelming for someone who starts out,” said Zabbal. “By investing in collaboration with others who bring expertise, it allows more investors to take the leap.”

The NHS has published an agreement to enable general practices to start delivering a covid-19 vaccine from as early as next month.
A new directed enhanced service (DES), published 10 November,12 says practices will be expected to coordinate and deliver covid-19 vaccinations collaboratively and at scale in primary care networks.
The draft deal, agreed between NHS England and the BMA’s GP committee, says practices will initially need collectively to nominate a single site per network to deliver vaccinations, with additional sites possible as supply increases. Designated sites will be expected to deliver vaccines seven days a week between 8 am and 8 pm if supply allows.
Practices will be paid £12.58 (€14.15; $16.69) per vaccination. This is 25% more than the current £10.06 practices receive for an influenza vaccination, in recognition of the need for extra training, post-vaccine observation, and other associated costs. Practices will need to provide most of the required staff from their own workforce.
GPs should plan on the assumption that each patient will need to have two doses of the vaccination, subject to confirmation from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the DES said.
NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens said last week3 that initial priority will be given to older people, health workers, and care home staff, in line with JCVI recommendations. GPs will be required to vaccinate care home staff, and patients and housebound patients as part of home visits, the DES said.
