“So It Was a Hoax?” – Fox News’ John Roberts Caught on Hot Mic Discussing COVID-19 Mortality Rate with Technician, ‘Like the Flu’ (VIDEO)

Fox News reporter John Roberts was caught on a hot mic in the White House briefing room discussing the Coronavirus mortality rate .
John Roberts walked into the press briefing room and told a technician to take off his mask because according to a recent California study , the mortality rate for the Coronavirus is only 0.1 % to 0.3 % .
“ Everyone here ’ s been vaccinated anyway , ” the technician said .
“ USC and LA public county health came out with a study that found that there ’ s 7,000 cases in Southern California but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 221,000 – to 441,000 people who are infected , ” John Roberts said to the technician .
The technician was surprised to hear the truth about the low mortality rate : “ So it was a hoax ?
” “ No , I don ’ t believe it was a hoax , ” Roberts said .
To John Roberts ’ credit , he asked Dr. Birx about this California study during the press briefing and she dodged his questions .

“Everyone here’s been vaccinated anyway,” the technician said.
“USC and LA public county health came out with a study that found that there’s 7,000 cases in Southern California but they really believe that there are between 221,000 – to 441,000 people who are infected,” John Roberts said to the technician.
The technician was surprised to hear the truth about the low mortality rate: “So it was a hoax?”
“No, I don’t believe it was a hoax,” Roberts said.

To John Roberts’ credit, he asked Dr. Birx about this California study during the press briefing and she dodged his questions.
In the first large-scale study of adults tested for COVID-19 antibodies in their blood, initial results show researchers found that 4.1% have the antibodies, an indication that they have already been exposed to the virus.
“That translates to roughly 221,000 to 442,000 adults who have recovered from an infection, once margin of error is taken into account, according to the researchers conducting the study,” the Los Angeles Times reported. “The estimated infection numbers are 28 to 55 times higher than the 7,994 confirmed COVID-19 cases L.A.

revolutionradio--2020-04-21--Mutated coronavirus strain in India could kill all efforts at creating a vaccine

An unusual strain of coronavirus that was isolated in India has been found to contain a strange mutation that experts warn could completely derail all efforts to develop a vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) at large .
Researchers from both Australia and Taiwan are warning that this mutated strain of coronavirus follows a much different pathway when it comes to causing infection in the form of severe acute respiratory syndrome ( SARS ) .
Simply put , a vaccine for the coronavirus strain currently in mass circulation probably wouldn ’ t work for this other strain , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter .
The change in this mutated strain occurred in part of the spike protein that normally allows the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) to bind with certain human cells .
This protein specifically targets cells containing ACE2 , an enzyme found in the outer surface cells of the lungs .
By targeting this enzyme , said protein allows the SARS virus to infect people with illness , which is why vaccine researchers have been rushing to come up with antibodies that might target it .
But the mutation identified in this other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different approach would be necessary to stop it from causing infection .
“ The observation of this study raised the alarm that Sars-CoV-2 mutation that varied epitope ( something that an antibody attaches itself to ) profile could arise at any time , ” wrote the team of collaborators from Murdoch University in Australia and the National Changhua University of Education in Taiwan .
“ This means current vaccine development against Sars-CoV-2 is at great risk of becoming futile.
” Be sure to listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closer look at how food riots are likely to ignite if the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) lockdowns aren ’ t ended by May : t took the National Institute of Virology two months to release full genome after receiving strain samples of mutated virus What ’ s further perplexing about the situation is the fact that it took two months for the full gene sequence of this mutated coronavirus strain to be released by the National Institute of Virology , which received it a while back after it was collected from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this Indian government agency so long to release it has created more questions than there are answers as to just how serious this situation truly is .

An unusual strain of coronavirus that was isolated in India has been found to contain a strange mutation that experts warn could completely derail all efforts to develop a vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) at large.
Researchers from both Australia and Taiwan are warning that this mutated strain of coronavirus follows a much different pathway when it comes to causing infection in the form of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Simply put, a vaccine for the coronavirus strain currently in mass circulation probably wouldn’t work for this other strain, or any other mutated strain for that matter.
The change in this mutated strain occurred in part of the spike protein that normally allows the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) to bind with certain human cells. This protein specifically targets cells containing ACE2, an enzyme found in the outer surface cells of the lungs.
By targeting this enzyme, said protein allows the SARS virus to infect people with illness, which is why vaccine researchers have been rushing to come up with antibodies that might target it. But the mutation identified in this other strain of coronavirus means that a whole different approach would be necessary to stop it from causing infection.
“The observation of this study raised the alarm that Sars-CoV-2 mutation that varied epitope (something that an antibody attaches itself to) profile could arise at any time,” wrote the team of collaborators from Murdoch University in Australia and the National Changhua University of Education in Taiwan.
“This means current vaccine development against Sars-CoV-2 is at great risk of becoming futile.”
Be sure to listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, takes a closer look at how food riots are likely to ignite if the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdowns aren’t ended by May:
t took the National Institute of Virology two months to release full genome after receiving strain samples of mutated virus
What’s further perplexing about the situation is the fact that it took two months for the full gene sequence of this mutated coronavirus strain to be released by the National Institute of Virology, which received it a while back after it was collected from a patient in Kerala.
Why it took this Indian government agency so long to release it has created more questions than there are answers as to just how serious this situation truly is. Even more concerning is a warning put out by the South China Morning Post, admittedly a communist Chinese government propaganda outlet, that there’s much more to come in the area of mutations.
“[T]here is real concern growing that thousands of strains sampled and sequenced are just the tip of the iceberg – and great variety increases the risk that new strains will require new vaccines in the same way the flu virus does,” the paper reported.
Even so, the race is on to release one, two, or even seven, in the case of billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates, different vaccines for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) as quickly as possible. Globalists everywhere are insisting that everyone be vaccinated with one or all of them in order to ever again be allowed to live a normal life as part of a functioning society.
“There is no vaccine for any type of flu,” pointed out one Fox News commenter about how this whole push for a coronavirus vaccine was futile from the start.
“You can get a flu shot which helps your body produce the necessary antibodies to fight certain strains, but it does not vaccinate you against the flu. There was and is no such vaccine for SARS, MERS, etc.”

America Has Entered the Preliminary Stages of Genocide Which Involves the Consolidation of Tyranny That Will Unleash the Deadliest Reign of Terror In History

This is the fifth part of a six part series where Americans will be living a part of history that nobody would ever have thought possible only a few short months ago .
All the signs are there , all the chess pieces are lining up .
America is entering the zone of genocide and this is precisely what will be covered in the last two parts of this six part series .
The Rapid Fall of America Came With Barely a Whimper In less than three months , the United States went from a record low , peace-time unemployment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a record level of public confidence in the economy , as well as high poll ratings for the President in an election year , to a thoroughly defeated nation .
Minus the use of nuclear and/or EMP weapons upon the United States , it would be hard to imagine a more complete and devastating blow to the people of the United States .
Harry Dent says that if America went back to work immediately , America would not be anywhere near where we were for at least 6-8 years .
America is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and many other experienced journalists , we sense that this is the end of America .
America and her cohort nations in the G20 have been defeated to a point , where in order to escape the economic devastation that has come to the world , a New World Order government and economic system ( ie the Mark of the Beast ) will be forced upon the people of the United States The leadership fo the Democratic Party has always been in the hip pocket of the United Nations and their soon-to-be instrument @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years I have been writing about the last phase of American takeover would be two-fold : ( 1 ) A “ Tet Offensive of terrorism of embedded terrorists and cartels in our country and a nearly Red Dawn invasion of an already weakened nation ; and , ( 2 ) the occupation of the United Nations by the world policeman , the blue helmets of the United Nations .
There has now emerged a third possibility that will deliver a knock out punch to America , and that is a Phase Two , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much more deadly strain of the virus .
This will permanently end America ’ s efforts to regain any sense of normalcy and lear to a permanent state of lockdown and all the Continuity of Government acts will be unleashed against the American people while we are all under lock and key .
It does not take psychic to predict that this is the beginning of the scourge that will depopulate and bring a violent end to the vast majority , nearly 90 % of all Americans .
While the “ purge ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be introduced .
What form will it take and will it be a prelude to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany ?
The answer is an emphatic yes .
I have publicly discussed the following in the past year .

This is the fifth part of a six part series where Americans will be living a part of history that nobody would ever have thought possible only a few short months ago. All the signs are there, all the chess pieces are lining up. America is entering the zone of genocide and this is precisely what will be covered in the last two parts of this six part series.
The Rapid Fall of America Came With Barely a Whimper
In less than three months, the United States went from a record low, peace-time unemployment rate, a record stock market performance and a record level of public confidence in the economy, as well as high poll ratings for the President in an election year, to a thoroughly defeated nation.
Minus the use of nuclear and/or EMP weapons upon the United States, it would be hard to imagine a more complete and devastating blow to the people of the United States. Harry Dent says that if America went back to work immediately, America would not be anywhere near where we were for at least 6-8 years. America is a thoroughly defeated nation. To myself and many other experienced journalists, we sense that this is the end of America. America and her cohort nations in the G20 have been defeated to a point, where in order to escape the economic devastation that has come to the world, a New World Order government and economic system (ie the Mark of the Beast) will be forced upon the people of the United States
The leadership fo the Democratic Party has always been in the hip pocket of the United Nations and their soon-to-be instrument of oppression, the CHICOMS.
For years I have been writing about the last phase of American takeover would be two-fold: (1) A “Tet Offensive of terrorism of embedded terrorists and cartels in our country and a nearly Red Dawn invasion of an already weakened nation; and, (2) the occupation of the United Nations by the world policeman, the blue helmets of the United Nations. There has now emerged a third possibility that will deliver a knock out punch to America, and that is a Phase Two, this fall, consisting a new and much more deadly strain of the virus. This will permanently end America’s efforts to regain any sense of normalcy and lear to a permanent state of lockdown and all the Continuity of Government acts will be unleashed against the American people while we are all under lock and key. It does not take psychic to predict that this is the beginning of the scourge that will depopulate and bring a violent end to the vast majority, nearly 90% of all Americans.
While the “purge” is going on, a new government will be introduced. What form will it take and will it be a prelude to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany? The answer is an emphatic yes. I have publicly discussed the following in the past year. However, in the present context, it is clear to see what our new government will consist of. The outline for this government, essentially run by the United Nations, has been hiding in plain sight.
HR 1111
In the midst of the new and manufactured Coronavirus crisis, there has been a twice sponsored Democratic bill that has been lying in state, in the halls of the House of Representatives. Under the present crisis it is likely that we will have a new regime change. After all, didn’t Trump recently say “it has been my honor to HAVE BEEN your President? The words of the WHO, no not the World Health Organization, I am talking about the rock group the WHO from the 60’s and 70’s when they said, “there will be fighting at my feet, with my children at my feet….I tip my hat to the new Constitution….. We won’t be fooled again.” Regime change us upon us!
The following is the final push to permanently change the political structure of the United States. As I have proclaimed many times in the past, a critically ill America, literally, will provide the justification for the United Nations to enact the Kigali Principles that Obama signed us on to in December of 2016, right before he left power. The US can expect to see, the presence of a 28 nation military force on American soil.The CHICOMS will spearhead the force of blue helmets. Dissidents will be purged and I will cover this in the next part of this series.
The framework for this new governmental structure is indeed hiding in plain sight and it is called HR 1111 and it is sponsored by extremist Democratic operative, Sheila Jackson Lee and 43 other Democratic Party traitors to this country. If you are unaware of the content of this bill, lying in place waiting to be acted upon, you will be shocked to your core. This is worse than the Bolshevik Revolution.

revolutionradio--2020-04-22--Mitch McConnell Floats Creating Bankruptcy Process for U.S. States

Wednesday during Hugh Hewitt ’ s nationally syndicated radio show , Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-KY ) said he favors allowing states struggling to meet their financial obligations due to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic to declare bankruptcy instead of providing a federal bailout .
A transcript is as follows : HUGH HEWITT : I know when you put the CARES Act together , you used the task force , you used some of your best people like Marco Rubio .
I have great respect for Lamar Alexander .
A lot of the state governments are gon na be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is no Chapter 8 in the bankruptcy code .
Who are you going to , you know , for states — no states can go bankrupt .
Local governments can go bankrupt and reorganize .
Who are you going to task to lead the effort on deciding what to do or not to do for the states ?
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL : I think it ’ s going to be a broad discussion without , you know , throughout the conference .
I mean , we all represent states .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who would love to have free money .
And that ’ s why I said yesterday we ’ re going to push the pause button here , because I think this whole business of additional assistance for state and local governments need to be thoroughly evaluated .

Wednesday during Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he favors allowing states struggling to meet their financial obligations due to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic to declare bankruptcy instead of providing a federal bailout.
A transcript is as follows:
HUGH HEWITT: I know when you put the CARES Act together, you used the task force, you used some of your best people like Marco Rubio. I have great respect for Lamar Alexander. A lot of the state governments are gonna be smashed up by this. But there is no Chapter 8 in the bankruptcy code. Who are you going to, you know, for states — no states can go bankrupt. Local governments can go bankrupt and reorganize. Who are you going to task to lead the effort on deciding what to do or not to do for the states?
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL: I think it’s going to be a broad discussion without, you know, throughout the conference. I mean, we all represent states. We all have governors, regardless of party, who would love to have free money. And that’s why I said yesterday we’re going to push the pause button here, because I think this whole business of additional assistance for state and local governments need to be thoroughly evaluated. You raised yourself the important issue of what states have done, many of them have done to themselves with their pension programs. There’s not going to be any desire on the Republican side to bail out state pensions by borrowing money from future generations.
So this is a much bigger conversation than we’ve had providing assistance for small business because the government shut them out, put them down, put them out of business, or assistance to hospitals, which were overwhelmed by the COVID-19 disease. This is a very different decision. These are all taxing authorities, just like we are, and I think that’s why we need to have a fulsome conference-wide discussion among Senate Republicans before we go down this path.

Another 54,543 Italians have recovered, including another 2,943 declared “recovered” over the last day, an increase of +5.7% as more patients finally recover from the illness. Of course, as we’ve noted, many patients who struggle in serious condition for days or weeks have a higher likelihood of suffering long-term consequences.

It’s now abundantly clear where things are headed with the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Due to widespread pandemic denialism across most of the (scientifically illiterate) conservative media, the political pressure to end the lockdowns is exploding. At the same time, the very same people who are demanding an end to the lockdowns are refusing to wear masks in public, meaning they are unwilling to take even basic, simple steps to help suppress the spread of the virus.
The result of this is now obvious: Many state lockdowns will be ended prematurely, without adequate precautions, and the people who listen to Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or other scientifically illiterate sources will surge back into public places and workplaces without masks, resulting in a re-ignition of the exponential spread of the virus.
Here’s the timeline of how this is likely to play out based on the “reopening date” in your local state.
Reopening day: The lockdown ends. People go back to work, back to shopping at shared retail spaces and return to using public transportation. The denialists (mostly conservatives and people who read indy media sources that absurdly claim the coronavirus is a “hoax”) refuse to wear masks, so they begin to spread the coronavirus all over again. Because they have been lulled into a false sense of safety by the conservative media, they are complacent and careless.
Reopening day + 30: Four weeks into the reopening, things still look great, even as the virus is quietly doubling the number of infected people perhaps once per week, which is slower than the previous rate of twice per week, given that some people are wearing masks and taking precautions.
Reopening day + 45: Early warning alarms start to go off as infections and hospitalizations begin to surge higher. The virus is now replicating yet again across the population at large, much like the scenario in February of this year.
Reopening day + 60: The exploding infection, hospitalization and death numbers start to mirror March’s numbers, and governors begin to see that unless people start wearing masks and respecting social distancing rules, a new round of lockdowns will be necessary.
Reopening day + 75 – 90: Governors issue new lockdown orders to once again halt the exponential spread. The city, state or region goes back into lockdown status in order to avoid the full-blown exponential explosion that would kill millions of not attenuated.
So within three months of the reopening of the economy, we should anticipate a new round of lockdowns being initiated. That, in turn, may result in riots, civil unrest, police state crackdowns and other forms of chaos since the very same Americans who refused to wear masks now refuse to obey government lockdown orders. Cue martial law.
We are nowhere near herd immunity, despite the best efforts of fake news outlets to lie about the numbers
There are several reasons why all this is inevitable:
Reason #1) We are nowhere near herd immunity. That would require something in the neighborhood of 80% of the population to have already been infected and carrying antibodies. Right now, the USA might have between 1-2% of the population infected. And no, the Wall Street Journal / “Stanford study” bogus science didn’t prove that 55 times more people are infected than we thought. That entire chapter of fake science was based on Chinese-manufactured antibody test kits that produced false positives. That study has already been denounced by numerous other scientists. Yet many pundits across the pro-Trump independent media continue to claim the study is solid, much like left-wing media outlets claim climate change alarmism science is reliable. (Bad science and fake news isn’t limited to just one political party. Each party has its own favorite fake science delusions.)

Privacy advocates, however, warn that these governments will not want to let go of these technologies, even after the crisis is over.
Big Brother is watching — and wants you to stay at home
In both South Korea and Israel, authorities use telecom data to track potential COVID-19 patients. Investigators in South Korea can scan smartphone data to find people who might have caught the coronavirus from someone they met within the space of 10 minutes. Israel, on the other hand, has tapped its anti-terrorist Shin Bet intelligence unit to track down potential COVID-19 patients using phone data.
In the United Kingdom, at least one police force has started using drones to monitor public areas, shaming any residents caught going out for a stroll. Tunisia has taken similar steps, deploying security robots equipped with thermal cameras to enforce the lockdown in the capital city of Tunis.
These measures are just some examples of how governments have turned to digital surveillance tools to track and monitor individuals in the name of slowing the spread of the pandemic. Many citizens in these countries have even welcomed the tracking technology intended to bolster defenses against the coronavirus.
Governments in Asia are setting a dangerous precedent, as most of them do not seek permission from individuals to track their cellphones, all in the name of identifying COVID-19 patients.

This information was then used by local officials who contacted the targeted individuals, asking them to quarantine themselves even if they hadn’t shown any symptoms.

Privacy laws and expectations tend to be more stringent in the West. However, that hasn’t stopped governments in Europe and the U.S. from trying out different methods of digital surveillance.
Some European nations plan to monitor their citizens’ movement using the Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (PEPP-PT) project. Those involved in the project claim that the technology used respects the privacy of those it monitors.

Amid sporadic mass protests increasingly popping up in states where coronavirus ‘stay an home’ orders and restrictions have been particularly draconian, Michigan first among them, it appears a sign Americans will get increasingly fed up the longer that lockdowns and corresponding economic ‘pauses’ continue.
A new Hill-HarrisX poll confirms as much, as The Hill reports, “More than 7 in 10 voters fear losing freedoms due to the coronavirus pandemic, though exposure to the virus topped concerns overall, according to a poll released Monday.”
In total 74% are ultimately more worried about the government taking away their rights amid the pandemic.
However, the majority of those registered voters surveyed still consider the threat from coronavirus to be grave and serious, with 83% saying they are worried about exposure, and with 73% reporting concern over potential hospitalization.
The poll further found that 48% are worried about losing their jobs, and 35% fear having to re-locate as a result of the pandemic.
The numbers of Americans who increasingly see the curtailment of civil liberties as a prime threat is consistent with a separate poll produced by Pew Research in mid-March. That poll found 62% of Americans believe the media has likely exaggerated the risk of COVID-19.
Thus the same majority is likely to see police and state enforcement of social distancing measures a severe overstep in authority.
Hill.TV cited Editor-in-chief at Gallup Mohamed Younis, to say polls are increasingly reflecting this as a prime factor. “I think that’s going to be one of the really important crossovers in the post-COVID era, between civil rights and public health,” Younis said.
It’s as yet unclear the degree to which a sense of ‘normalcy’ will indeed return and how fast once economies open back up, given it’s still likely many Americans will initially stay home, fearing a renewed explosion of cases, as is happening in places like Singapore.
But increasingly, many Americans in the central and southern states have begun to question whether the fate of their states and local communities should be dictated by the more dire circumstances of large cities on the East and West coasts – where case numbers have been soaring.


revolutionradio--2020-04-22--California Study Shows Virus Much More Pervasive “But Not Killing At Rate We Thought”

A new scientific study published at the start of this week strongly suggests the coronavirus may already be much more widespread in the US population than official tallies , though far less dangerous to most .
The LA Times reports on preliminary findings from a coronavirus study in Los Angeles County , which show a whopping 4.1 % of adults have antibodies to the virus in their blood .
The county is home to 10 million residents , meaning hundreds of thousands have likely been exposed , according to the study .
LA Times concludes of the study ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ roughly 221,000 to 442,000 adults who have recovered from an infection , once margin of error is taken into account , according to the researchers conducting the study .
The county had reported fewer than 8,000 cases at that time.
” Los Angeles County over the weekend suffered its deadliest single day , with COVID-19 killing 81 on Sunday , mostly among the elderly especially in nursing homes .
As of Tuesday the county reported a total 13,816 cases and 617 deaths so far .
Though the study appears to confirm the already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it suggests this is present in the US to a much greater degree than known .
One scientist concluded that among Californians the study results are “ very consistent with the fact that the virus is very common but not killing at the rate we thought.
” But the study presents a possible upside as well : The findings suggest the fatality rate may be much lower than previously thought .
But although the virus may be more widespread , the infection rate still falls far short of herd immunity that , absent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ return to normal life .
On a national level this means America is likely well past 1 million infected in terms of actual numbers – though the official tally is fast closing in on 800,000 currently .
The University of Southern California and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health conducted antibody testing on 863 people for the new study .
It ’ s findings are further consistent with a recent report produced by Stanford researchers , who believe coronavirus in Santa Clara County is also much more widespread than official figures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among Californians “ is very consistent with the fact that the virus is very common but not killing at the rate we thought , ” Dr. Ioannidis said .

Though the study appears to confirm the already widely documented phenomenon of asymptomatic spreaders, it suggests this is present in the US to a much greater degree than known. One scientist concluded that among Californians the study results are “very consistent with the fact that the virus is very common but not killing at the rate we thought.”
But the study presents a possible upside as well:
The findings suggest the fatality rate may be much lower than previously thought. But although the virus may be more widespread, the infection rate still falls far short of herd immunity that, absent a vaccine, would be key to return to normal life.
On a national level this means America is likely well past 1 million infected in terms of actual numbers – though the official tally is fast closing in on 800,000 currently.
The University of Southern California and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health conducted antibody testing on 863 people for the new study.
