Watch: Bill Gates Defends Communist Chinese Government; Says It ‘Did A Lot Of Things Right’ While US Acted ‘Poorly’

Pandemic playboy Bill Gates has attacked the US response to the coronavirus outbreak , while defending China ’ s actions , claiming that the communist state “ did a lot of things right at the beginning , ” even though it failed to warn global health authorities and attempted to cover up the true scale of the crisis .
Appearing on CNN ( of course ) , Gates claimed that “ China did a lot of things right at the beginning , ” but conceded that “ Like any country where a virus first shows up , they can look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things.
” Does silencing whistleblowers and lying about transmissibility count among the “ right things ” ?
When CNN ’ s Fareed Zakaria asked Gates what he thinks about China ’ s lies and deception , the billionaire replied that it is “ a distraction.
” “ How would you respond to the charge that the Chinese covered this up , they essentially deceived the rest of the world , and as a result , they should be held in someway responsible for this ?
” Zakaria asked .
“ Well , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a timely thing because it doesn ’ t affect how we act today , ” Gates responded .
In addition , Gates attacked the US government ’ s response to the outbreak , saying that “ Some countries did respond very quickly and get their testing in place and they avoided the incredible economic pain , and its sad that even the US , that you would have expected to do this well , did it particularly poorly.
” Gates , who stands to profit in the billions , then urged that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now should be “ to take the great science we have , the fact that we ’ re in this together , fix testing and treatments and get that vaccine.
” It is obvious that Gates would take this position , given that he basically is the World Health Organisation .
The WHO has faced global shame for parroting the dangerous lies of a tyrannical regime , which is still claiming fewer than 5000 deaths in the whole of China from COVID-19 .
Gates ’ foundation is now the WHO ’ s biggest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ funding to the organisation .
While most expressed disgust at Gates ’ comments , China enjoyed the interview , and immediately used it as propaganda :

Senator Cotton: China’s Actions Deliberately Malevolent; Their Scientists Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Study In US

Senator Tom Cotton slammed the communist Chinese government , describing its actions as “ deliberately malevolent ” when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic .
He also suggested that Chinese students should not be allowed to study sciences within the US until the country has been properly held accountable .
Cotton said that he believes China consciously allowed the virus to spread so that the playing field would be levelled , and other countries would also experience economic disaster .
“ Wherever it originated … we know that the Chinese Communist Party was both criminally negligent and incompetent at first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the way they responded to this virus , for their own people and the world , ” Cotton said during a Fox News interview .
“ As early as the second week of December , it was clear that this virus was spreading from person to person .
By late December , it was spreading to doctors in Wuhan hospitals .
Some doctors were trying to blow the whistle on these facts , and the secret police arrived at their doorsteps in the middle of the night.
” Cotton added .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the WHO on December 31 did the world know what was happening .
Yet , still they continued to deny that it was spreading from person to person into mid-January .
That allowed millions of people to leave Wuhan , ” Cotton continued .
“ And then , finally , China continued to pressure the WHO and other countries not to stop international travel from China .
That meant that hundreds of thousands of persons left China after this virus was spread far outside of Wuhan , which allowed the virus to escape @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States and get to Europe and get to essentially every country in the world.
” the Senator urged .
Cotton noted that China allowed flights to continue in spite of the outbreak “ because they didn ’ t want to see their relative power and standing in the world decline.
” “ They also knew that , once this virus began to spread outside of Wuhan , it would wreak economic havoc throughout China .
And , in fact , China had the first contraction in the first quarter of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 1970s , ” Cotton added .
The Senator charged that China , worried that it would fall behind the rest of the world economically , deliberately allowed the virus to spread .
“ I believe the Chinese communist leaders , when they were aware of those facts by mid-January , made the conscious decision not to explain to the world that it was transmissible between humans , not to shut down travel , not to ask for American or other kind of international scientific help , but to allow this virus to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were going to suffer an economic contraction , they were not going to allow the world to continue to prosper , and China be the only country whose economy was declining.
” Cotton said .
Cotton also urged that it is an injustice that the United States has trained some Chinese nationals to “ go back to China to compete for our jobs , to take our business , and ultimately to steal our property and design weapons and other devices that can be used against the American people.
” “ If Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Shakespeare and the Federalist Papers , that ’ s what they need to learn from America , ” Cotton said , adding “ They don ’ t need to learn quantum computing and artificial intelligence from America .

summitnews--2020-04-27--Now Twitter CENSORS Bio-Tech Conmpany’s UV Light Treatment Research After Trump Touted It

Psychologist Robert Epstein says that Big Tech is planning to use “ subliminal methods ” in the upcoming election that could shift up to 15 million votes and cost Trump the presidency .
After the 2016 presidential election , Epstein surmised that search engine bias shifted 2-3 million votes in Hillary Clinton ’ s favor , and he warns that the number in 2020 could be five times that amount .
The author says that Google and other social media giants “ can shift opinions and votes in numerous ways that people can ’ t detect ” via “ a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that can , in minutes , shift the voting preferences of 20 percent or more of undecided voters without anyone having the slightest idea they ’ ve been manipulated.
” A leak of Google emails to the Wall Street Journal back in 2018 already exposed how Google engineers had sought to investigate how they could manipulate a user ’ s “ ephemeral experiences ” to change their mind on the Trump travel ban .
“ Ephemeral experiences are those fleeting ones we have every day when we view online content that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anywhere : newsfeeds , search suggestions , search results , and so on , ” writes Epstein .
“ No authority can go back in time to see what search suggestions or search results you were shown , but dozens of randomized , controlled , double-blind experiments I ’ ve conducted show that such content can dramatically shift opinions and voting preferences .
See the problem ?
” Google , Twitter and Facebook have complete control over what is seen and what is allowed to go viral , Epstein emphasizes , making it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can not prevent algorithmic manipulation .
“ If our own tech companies all favor the same presidential candidate this year—and that seems likely—I calculate that they can easily shift 15 million votes to that candidate without people knowing and without leaving a paper trail , ” warns Epstein .
He also notes how the the “ technological elite ” Eisenhower warned about in his 1961 farewell address is now in control , underscored by the fact that “ 95 percent of donations from tech companies and their employees go to Democrats.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all this is aggressive monitoring of algorithmic manipulation .
“ When bias is detected that has the potential to shift votes , it needs to be reported immediately to the media , the Federal Election Commission , members of Congress , and other authorities , ” he writes .
“ That will force the tech execs to back off ; if they don ’ t , they ’ ll be risking humiliation , fines , and , quite possibly , criminal prosecution.
” Despite highlighting the issue for years , Republicans have done @ @ @ @ @ @ @ censorship and algorithm manipulation .
Numerous major boosters of President Trump during the 2016 election have also been completely banned on social media .
Pointing out that the margin of victory in many nationwide races is as little as 5 per cent , Epstein cautions , “ Republicans , in general , are likely to lose.
” Epstein also emphasized that given his knowledge about what Big Tech are planning , he is “ not suicidal.
” This is particularly noteworthy given that the psychologist previously suggested that his wife ’ s fatal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Update (1350ET): The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into a “misinformation” tracking group, the UK’s Center for Countering Digital Hate – which is now being sued by X Corp, formerly Twitter.
According to a letter seen by the Washington Examiner, the Center for Countering Digital Hate is in the crosshairs, as House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has given the nonprofit until August 17, two weeks, to turn over records that could detail the extent of its ties to the Biden White House.
“We know from the Facebook Files that the Center for Countering Digital Hate was working with the White House to censor speech,” said a senior GOP congressional aide. “But how far did it go? Republicans want to find out, and of course subpoenas are on the table if we don’t get answers.”
Jordan’s letter, which was first obtained by the Washington Examiner, is the latest escalation of the GOP’s efforts to investigate how the federal government has, in some cases, coordinated with the private sector to flag certain speech, including speech related to COVID-19, as “disinformation” or “misinformation.” The chairman has recently been publicizing subpoenaed documents from Facebook, now called Meta, showinghow the platform kept in close contact with the Biden administration on content moderation. Further sets of emails produced in connection to that subpoena, which have not been reported on until now and were shared with the Washington Examiner, shed light on Center for Countering Digital Hate’s influence among top Facebook staffers and the highest levels of government. -Washington Examiner
In April 2021, a Facebook employee cited the CCDH’s March 2021 report titled “The Disinformation Dozen” in an email thread dubbed “Vaccine policy,” in which alleged that there “are twelve anti-vaxxers who play leading roles in spreading digital misinformation about COVID vaccines,” with RFK Jr. being one of them.
“We also continue to see pressure from partners and policymakers, including the White House, to remove entities that are seen to be contributing to a large amount of vaccine misinformation content (commonly referred to as the ‘disinformation dozen’ which CCDH asserts are responsible for 73% of vaccine misinformation on Facebook),” the employee’s email continues.
“We continue to monitor these entities on platform, and are reviewing the off platform as well, but do not believe we currently have a clear path for removal of these.”
In his letter to CCDH’s CEO, Imran Ahmed, Jordan writes: “We are interested in understanding the interactions between the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and the federal government in particular, as well as between CCDH and social media companies,” adding “CCDH claims that ‘social media companies erode basic human rights and civil liberties by enabling the spread of online hate and disinformation.'”
Earlier Thursday, Jordan dropped a thread of receipts on Facebook’s relationship with the Biden regime and how they censored unfavorable opinions.
THE FACEBOOK FILES PART 3.
Newly subpoenaed internal notes of meetings between Facebook executives and Biden Admin officials reveal more about the lengths the Biden White House wanted to go to control true speech on Facebook.
🧵 Thread: https://t.co/AeXrs1U8wr — Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 3, 2023
As we’ve previously noted (via Paul Thacker)
The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) sprang out of nowhere in late 2017 or early 2018. At the time, Ahmed was leaving a job as a political advisor to members of the British Labour Party and had just written a book. As we chronicle in our just published book The New Serfdom, the dominance of market fundamentalism has been a disastrous experiment that has ripped up social cohesion and solidarity while the gap between the 1 per cent and the 99 per cent has soared to levels not seen since the beginning of the last century. Home ownership, secure employment and fair wages seem like relics of a bygone era. Meanwhile exploitative workplace practices have created a new serfdom leaving many people trapped in insecure, unfulfilling and underpaid work with no escape route. How this background as a political operative prepared Ahmed to brand himself as an expert in disinformation is unclear. His LinkedIn account makes no mention of his work as a political operative in England, although his biography at CCDH states that he is an “authority on social and psychological malignancies on social media, such as identity-based hate, extremism, disinformation, and conspiracy theories.” Ahmed now lives in Washington DC and his organization does not provide a list of funders. In early 2021, CCDH posted a report titled “The Disinformation Dozen” that alleged the majority of COVID vaccine disinformation came from just 12 accounts, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Ahmed released the report just as the Biden administration began their COVID vaccine rollout and shortly before the House held hearings on disinformation at social media companies.
Good question. This appears to be foreign government interference.
Can’t wait to get their donors under deposition! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 31, 2023
And of course, now the CCDH has their cup out for donations.
CCDH who is known for silencing people including orgs like @FDRLST and @zerohedge are now using the @elonmusk lawsuit to get donations crying about how Elon is “silencing them” and it’s “straight out of the authoritarian handbook” ….This is unbelievable. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/EiWdZA42j8 — Natalie F Danelishen (@Chesschick01) August 3, 2023

Update (1253ET): Shortly after publication, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) dropped a Twitter thread full of receipts showing the Biden administration’s collusion with Facebook to suppress conservative speech.
“Since it’s a global pandemic, can we give agencies access to targeting parameters that they normally wouldn’t be able to?” said President Biden’s digital director, Rob Flaherty, according to internal company communications.
Rob Flaherty, President Biden’s then-Director of Digital Strategy, repeatedly put pressure on Facebook to explain its content decisions.
“We have to explain to President, Ron, people, why there is misinfo on the internet…” pic.twitter.com/zUZYbKHfA9 — Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 3, 2023
Continued…For example, Flaherty questioned whether Facebook was doing enough to reduce traffic from sites like the @nypost. “I’m curious – NY Post churning out articles every day… What is supposed to happen to that from Policy perspective. Does that article get a reduction, labels?”
But that wasn’t enough for the Biden White House. Flaherty wanted Facebook to go a step further. He wanted Facebook to kick people off its site.
The Biden White House’s effort to censor opposing viewpoints only grew. So, they upped the pressure. Flaherty demanded that Facebook “play ball” and work with the Biden White House on censorship. He called it his “dream.”
But that’s not all. The Biden White House wanted to control what you saw on Facebook. They questioned whether Facebook could change its algorithm so users saw more posts from the New York Times and less from the @realDailyWireand @TomiLahren.
Why did they do that? Because they didn’t think you were smart enough to decide for yourself. President Biden’s head of strategic communications and public engagement for the #COVID19 response, Courtney Rowe, mocked Real America’s ability to determine what’s true and what isn’t.
Facebook knew it had to act. One employee tried to explain to the White House that if the company couldn’t “remove” content, it could at least “contain it.”
But Flaherty continued to press for more content moderation and CONTROL on so-called “bad” content.
And of course, Facebook caved. The company ADMITTED to the White House that it reduced content of certain posts – even if the posts didn’t violate the company’s terms and contained TRUE information. Just read this from a Facebook employee.
These newly subpoenaed meeting notes continue to show the Biden White House’s desire to direct and control content on Facebook. More evidence of the censorship-industrial complex. To be continued…

Authored by Eric Lundrum via American Greatness,
In new memos recently released by Facebook, the social media giant was pressured by the Biden White House into altering its algorithms so that mainstream news sources would be elevated over conservative sites.
As Just The News reports, the documents over to the House Judiciary Committee following a subpoena detail a series of meetings between Facebook executives and White House Digital Director Rob Flaherty in the spring of 2021. The demands from the White House focused on posts related to the Chinese coronavirus and the efficiency of the COVID vaccines.
In one meeting on April 14th, 2021, Flaherty asked Facebook if it was possible to artificially promote outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, instead the Daily Wire and Fox News, particularly commentator Tomi Lahren.
“If you were to change the algorithm so that people were more likely to see NYT, WSJ, any authoritative news source over Daily Wire, Tomi Lahren, polarizing people,” Flaherty asked.
“You wouldn’t have a mechanism to check the material impact?”
“We have to explain to President, Ron [Klain], people, why there is misinfo on the internet, bigger problem than FB,” said Flaherty, according to the typed notes from Facebook executives.
“Where issues are, what interventions are, how well they are working, for products, want to engage in things that you know to be effective. I don’t even care about specific methodology, you have better, richer data than we’ll ever have.”
Tomi Lahren, who boasted a large following on Facebook, had recently announced that she would refuse to get the COVID vaccine. Meanwhile, Daily Wire had filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s mandate for private workplaces to force its employees to take the vaccine. The Supreme Court eventually struck down Biden’s workplace mandate, while upholding his vaccine mandate for facilities that are funded by Medicare and Medicaid.
“What are the things driving hesitancy on your platform? What is it? How big is the problem? When you are intervening, how are you measuring success?” Flaherty repeatedly grilled the Facebook executives in one meeting.
“Never-before-released internal documents subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee PROVE that Facebook and Instagram censored posts and changed their content moderation policies because of unconstitutional pressure from the Biden White House,” said Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, on Twitter.
Constitutional scholars have also raised the alarm over the revelations, with George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley saying that he has “asked Congress to pass a law barring federal employees from engaging in censorship and targeting of citizens.”
“Agencies have a right to speak in their own voices,” Turley added. “Instead, the Biden Administration sought to engage in what I have called ‘censorship through surrogate.’ This is part of that pattern.”
Turley’s take is reiterated by University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds told Just the News on Wednesday that the First Amendment issue is when the “government is asking people to censor speech, their action is attributable to the government, so both they and the government can be sued.”x
“By working with the government, Facebook exposed themselves to liability,” Reynolds said, noting that they do not “share sovereign immunity” with the government and will “probably very much regret it.”

The families of four people who died from COVID-19 are suing EcoHealth alliance, the New York-based nonprofit that was conducting gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China, before COVID-19 broke out across town.
According to the Aug. 2 lawsuit filed before the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, EcoHealth and its president, Peter Daszak, knew the virus was “capable of causing a worldwide pandemic.”
Not only did EcoHealth help to create a ‘genetically manipulated virus,’ the lawsuit claims, it worked to cover up the origins of the outbreak.
“If we had known the source or origin of this virus and had not been misled that it was from a pangolin in a wet market, and rather we knew that it was a genetically manipulated virus, and that the scientists involved were concealing that from our clients, the outcome could have been very different,” victims’ attorney Patricia Finn told the NY Post.
The families of Mary Conroy, of Pennsylvania; Emma D. Holley, of Rochester, NY; Larry Carr, of Crossville, Tennessee; and Raul Osuna, of Bennington, Nebraska, are seeking unspecified damages. “[The families of the deceased] are definitely in mourning, but moreover they’re enraged because the truth of what really happened appears to be coming forward,” Finn added. Paul Rinker, of Pennsylvania, is also suing Midtown-based EcoHealth and Daszak over the “serious injuries” he suffered from his bout with the bug.
Finn is also suing EcoHealth and Daszak in Nassau and Rockland Counties on behalf of the families of other victims killed by the virus, as well as two who survived.
“This particular case is highly offensive because it appears they knew and concealed the origin of the virus,” said Finn, adding “The treatment or approach taken in dealing with the virus could have been radically different than it was.”
Fauci is simply lying here. Zheng-Li Shi's lab at the WIV and EcoHealth Alliance (which administered NIH subawards to Zheng-Li Shi's lab) were absolutely manipulating viruses (using NIAID funds) in order to see which mutations would make them more dangerous to humans. https://t.co/2MD0oM4sWh — Justin B. Kinney (@jbkinney) August 12, 2023
EcoHealth notably received a re-activated grant from the NIH for over $576,000 in May to study how outbreaks of deadly viruses like SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19 originate from wildlife and transfers to humans, despite failing to meet the NIH’s conditions for reinstatement.
As the Epoch Times noted;
The grant, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” was originally awarded in 2014 by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Under the terms of the grant, EcoHealth Alliance, a government-funded nonprofit that purportedly engages in research to prevent pandemics, was awarded $3.8 million over five years to assess the spillover potential of bat viruses “using reverse genetics, pseudovirus and receptor binding assays, and virus infection experiments in cell culture and humanized mice.” Put in simple terms, NIAID was paying EcoHealth to genetically engineer and manipulate bat viruses in labs.
In May 2016, the grant was suspended after Erik Stemmy, a NIAID program officer, noticed that federal government funds may have been used for prohibited gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. At the time, the Obama administration had put in place a moratorium on gain-of-function experiments. However, for reasons that remain unclear, the suspension was lifted in July 2016. At the time, EcoHealth’s president, Peter Daszak, thanked NIAID in an email for lifting the gain-of-function funding pause.
As part of the conditions of the grant, EcoHealth had to file regular activity reports. However, starting in 2018, EcoHealth stopped submitting these reports. EcoHealth would later blame technical difficulties for their failure to submit. The missing reports comprised the critical 2018–2019 timeframe right before the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
* * *
More:
In 2014, the Obama administration temporarily suspended federal funding for gain-of-function research into manipulating bat COVID to be more transmissible to humans. Four months prior to that decision, the NIH effectively shifted this research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) to EcoHealth, headed by Peter Daszak.
Notably, the WIV “had openly participated in gain-of-function research in partnership with U.S. universities and institutions” for years under the leadership of Dr. Shi ‘Batwoman’ Zhengli, according to the Washington Post‘s Josh Rogin.
Yet, after Sars-CoV-2 broke out in the same town where Daszak was manipulating Bat Covid, The Lancet published a screed by Daszak (signed by over two-dozen scientists), which insisted the virus could have only come from a natural spillover event, likely from a wet market, and that the scientists “stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” The Lancet only later noted Daszak’s conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, as we noted late last year, a Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions interim report from October 27, 2022 titled “An Analysis of the Origins of the COVID19 Pandemic” concluded that the origins of Covid were more likely based in a lab as part of a “research related incident” and not zoonotic.
The report was the result of a “bipartisan Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee oversight effort into the origins of SARS-CoV-2”. It provides a lengthy analysis that reviews “publicly available, open-source information to examine the two prevailing theories of origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus”.
Insanity…

On January 14th, the WHO amplified Chinese government propaganda that there had been no “human to human transmission” of COVID-19, despite this having actually occurred back in November.
According to sources who told Fox News that the virus was leaked from a lab in Wuhan, this represented the “costliest government coverup of all time” and “the World Health Organization (WHO) was complicit from the beginning in helping China cover its tracks.”
The WHO also blocked doctors from urging countries to impose border controls to stop the spread of coronavirus and repeatedly told countries not to close borders, despite this being an effective way of controlling the spread of the virus.
Right up until the end of February, the WHO continued “to advise against the application of travel or trade restrictions to countries experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks,” despite the rapid spread of the disease.
A Mount Sinai study found that New York City’s record-high coronavirus cases and deaths were “predominately” due to travel from Europe, meaning that many more lives could have been saved if borders had been closed down earlier.
But instead, the WHO insisted that maintaining the globalist principle of the international traffic of people was more important than stopping a global pandemic.
The organization also repeatedly told countries not to profile Chinese people in order to avoid “stigmatization,” something that almost certainly led to a lack of screenings of Chinese people passing through airports.
Given this history, more lives would have been saved if countries had in fact listened to the World Health Organization a lot less.

summitnews--2020-04-27--Hungarian Minister Challenges CNN’s “Fake News” About Suspending Parliament

During an appearance on Christiane Amanpour ’ s show , Hungarian minister Péter Szijjártó challenged CNN ’ s “ fake news ” about Hungary suspending its own parliament .
Last month , CNN and a host of other news networks suggested that the decision represented a “ coup ” and evidence that Prime Minister Viktor Orban was behaving like a dictator .
In reality , the decision was passed by parliament itself and had the support of around 90 % of Hungarians .
The parliament can also vote to lift the decree whenever it chooses .
Hardly a dictatorship .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ extra powers to deal with the coronavirus crisis .
“ Furthermore , the law does not dissolve parliament but instead requires the government to remain in constant consultation with parliament members , which means parliament continues to meet in-person and work with the government in the fight against the coronavirus , ” reports ReMix .
“ Many other countries have also enacted similar measures to help governments respond quickly to the crisis.
” During the CNN interview , Amanpour asked Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó why parliament is closed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news to us , ” said Szijjártó , explaining how he had spoken to parliament five times already that week .
“ I read these reports and I have to tell you that these reports never speak about the truth… given the fact that there are four countries in the European Union applying a similar kind of solution : Poland , Malta , Croatia , and us , ” Szijjártó said .
“ And there are four other [ European ] countries in which the government can go along with the state of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kind of decision made by the parliament , ” he added .
After Amanpour tried to suggest that because the ruling conservative Fidesz party has a two thirds majority in parliament , the state of emergency would never be lifted , Szijjártó had to explain to her how democracy works .
“ First of all , the composition of the Parliament is not an outcome of a lottery , but elections .
So , I think it is kind of natural that in a parliament there is majority and there is a minority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government… Many media outlets have spread lies and fake news around this law , ” Szijjártó said , noting that government power is not unlimited .
“ One of these fake news items is that it says that the government has an uncontrolled and unlimited possibility to make decrees , which is not true , ” Szijjártó said .
“ The law says very clearly that we can make decrees only in accordance with protecting the people , the country and the economy from the challenges related to the virus.
” Hungary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because it has remained steadfast against the migrant invasion and Orban has overseen the institution of populist , pro-family policies that are at odds with the internationalist , open borders model .

Hungary is often targeted by globalist media outlets because it has remained steadfast against the migrant invasion and Orban has overseen the institution of populist, pro-family policies that are at odds with the internationalist, open borders model.

PJW Goes Off on Piers Morgan!

A man in the UK claims he was arrested and fined by police for buying wine , despite this not being a violation of the lockdown laws .
A video posted by Samuel Jack shows him involved in a confrontation with police in north London during which he was issued with a £30 fine .
In the clip , officers suggest that Jack , who was apparently arrested and “ dearrested ” according to his Tweet , was being apprehended for a public order offence .
He was originally arrested for refusing to provide ID .
Jack asked officers about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is one of basic documents of the uncodified British constitution , but had no knowledge of it .
However , in his tweet , Jack suggests he was apprehended because he “ went to buy wine.
” There have been numerous other cases across the country of police officers misunderstanding the lockdown law to fine people for buying alcohol and other items deemed “ non-essential ” by police .
In reality , the lockdown law does not dictate which items can or can not be bought .
Since all open shops are by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ items they sell are essential .
As we previously highlighted , a woman in Scotland who bought wine and potato chips was fined by police for buying “ non-essential ” items .
Another person in West Lothian tweeted to report a nurse in uniform being fined after leaving a patient ’ s house and someone who left a shop after purchasing a bottle of wine .
Both were fined £30 .

The Miss Italy (Miss Italia) beauty pageant has banned transgender contestants from participating, saying that all entrants must be “a woman from birth.”
According to Patrizia Mirigliani, the official patron of the competition, this is a longstanding policy.
“Ever since it was born, the competition includes in its regulation the clarification that you have to be a woman from birth. Probably because, even then, it was expected that in the future beauty could undergo changes, or that women could undergo modifications, or that men could become women,” she said.
According to Mirigliani, some beauty contests are begging for media attention by including transgender contestants, which is “a little absurd,” adding that Miss Italy “will not jump on the glittery bandwagon of trans activism.”
“It’s all part of the new way of talking about women, but we try not to facilitate everything that is excessive to accentuate the aesthetics. Excesses are not good,” she added.
Mirigliani’s remarks come after the Miss Netherlands beauty pageant notably awarded the title to a man who identifies as transgender – another setback for actual feminism. Rikkie Valerie Kollé, 22, will represent the Netherlands at the Miss Universe 2023 pageant, which is expected to be hosted by El Salvador, the Epoch Times reports.
“If Miss Holland thought it appropriate to include [people who identify as transgender] I am happy for them,” Ms. Mirigliani said in separate remarks, adding that rules for Miss Italy would not change for now,” the Huffington Post Italy reports.
Miss Italy is not related to Miss Universe Italy, which is a separate pageant that selects the Italian representative for the Miss Universe pageant. Mr. Kollé will be the second openly transgender person to compete in the Miss Universe pageant—the first competitor who identified as transgender was Angela Ponce in 2018, who won the title of Miss Spain. The Miss Universe beauty pageant, which includes Miss USA, changed its rules in 2012 to allow biological males who identify as transgender to compete. -Epoch Times
“We have a long history of supporting equality for all women, and this was something we took very seriously,” said the president of Miss Universe in 2012.
In recent years, two transgender contestants have won various competitions. In March 2021, Kataluna Enriquez won Miss Nevada USA. Mr. Enriquez went on to compete in the 2021 Miss USA pageant later that year.
In 2023, Brian Nguyen won the title of Miss Greater Derry 2023 in November 2022, becoming the first transgender individual to win a title under the Miss America organization – which is a separate pageant to Miss Universe and Miss USA. Nguyen later lost the Miss New Hampshire 2023 pageant in April.

YouTube has censored a viral video in which two doctors criticized the logic of whether California ’ s stay-at-home coronavirus order is necessary .
The video , which had racked up over 5 million views , featured Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi , co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield , Calif .
In the clip , Erickson asserts that there is only a “ 0.03 chance of dying from COVID in the state of California , ” prompting him to ask , “ Does that necessitate sheltering in place ?
Does that necessitate shutting down medical systems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of work ?
” Erickson also asked why fatalities were being counted as COVID-19 deaths when other ailments were actually more to blame .
“ When someone dies in this country right now , they ’ re not talking about the high blood pressure , the diabetes , the stroke .
They ’ re saying ‘ Did they die from COVID ? '
” Erickson said .
“ We ’ ve been to hundreds of autopsies .
You don ’ t talk about one thing , you talk about comorbidities .
ER doctors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s interesting when I ’ m writing about my death report , I ’ m being pressured to add COVID .
Why is that ?
” The video was deleted late last night for “ violating YouTube ’ s terms of service.
” Earlier this month , YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki told CNN that the company would ban any video content that contradicted World Health Organization recommendations .
However , Wojcicki suggested that this would mainly be focused on banning information about fake cures , not questioning of government policy .
The video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ content that claims 5G cell towers are linked to the coronavirus outbreak .
During an appearance on Fox News last night , Dr. Erickson pointed to Sweden , which didn ’ t impose any drastic lockdown measures , but now has achieved herd immunity against coronavirus .
“ And if you look at their numbers : 200 deaths per million compared to ours , [ which is ] about the same .
Italy ’ s [ is ] about 400 per million and Spain is about 400 per million , so we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they took a completely different approach and their results are basically the same , ' ” said Erickson .

summitnews--2020-04-28--Communist Chinese Government Calls US Secretary Of State ‘Sinister’ Threat To World Peace

The Chinese government has labeled US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ‘ sinister ’ and ‘ an enemy of world peace ’ , saying that Pompeo ’ s demands for access to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other Chinese bio-labs should be ignored .
Declaring Pompeo to be “ the worst U.S. secretary of state in its history , ” state media The Global Times published a piece accusing him of “ a string of violent attacks ” on China .
“ He is the senior US official who ’ s the most active in attacking the CPC [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reflects extreme hostility against socialist China and reveals his malicious goal to push the U.S. and China into strategic rivalry , ” the propaganda piece reads .
“ The former top intelligence official is steering the US Department of State into becoming the Central Intelligence Agency , ” it continues , referring to Pompeo , who has said that China is refusing to co-operate with US investigations into the coronavirus origin .
“ It ’ s a pity that at a time when the world is facing turbulence and great uncertainties from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of state has been occupied by a person of a sinister nature , ” the piece derides .
In another propaganda article , The People ’ s Daily , the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China , called Pompeo ’ s assertion that the virus may have leaked from the Wuhan lab “ groundless and irresponsible ” and “ totally against science.
” “ Seeking the origin of the virus is a serious issue that calls for a science-based survey , ” the piece declares , urging that “ Pompeo ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credible evidence , have only damaged his country ’ s international reputation.
” Meanwhile , the Chinese Foreign Ministry has continuously claimed that the virus originated in a US military lab , without offering any evidence .
The theory , which has been repeated by state media , and even by US based conspiracy theorists , seems to surround US Army reservist Maatje Benassi as ‘ patient zero ’ of COVID-19 in China , with claims she brought the virus to Wuhan during the Military World Games , where she was competing as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ employee at the US Army ’ s Fort Belvoir in Virginia , has never tested positive or exhibited any symptoms of the virus , and has said she ’ s now living in fear for her life .


summitnews--2020-04-28--Report: FIVE Global Intelligence Agencies Investigating Wuhan Bat Scientist Over Virus Lab Leak

According to a report in the Australian Daily Telegraph , the so called ‘ Five eyes ’ intelligence co-operative – agencies in Australia , Canada , NZ , UK and US , are all investigating senior scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology , Peng Zhou , with regards to the potential of the coronavirus leaking from the lab .
The report claims that intelligence officials are examining “ whether COVID-19 originated from a wet market or whether the naturally-occurring virus may have been released from the level four laboratory in Wuhan that was studying deadly coronavirus pathogens from bats.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Australian government co-funded Zhou ’ s research into bat borne viruses , in co-operation with the Chinese government .
It reveals that the scientist also spent three years at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory between 2011 and 2014 , as part of a study involving transporting bats from Queensland to the lab to be dissected and studied for viruses .
The research found that “ bats are rich reservoirs for emerging viruses , including many that are highly pathogenic to humans and other mammals ” and “ many of which cause significant morbidity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” the report states .
Independent news website Zero Hedge reported on Peng in January , and was subsequently banned by Twitter for sharing its findings .
The Zero Hedge report titled Is This The Man Behind The Global Coronavirus Pandemic ?
, noted that Peng , as head of the Bat Virus Infection and Immunization Group , sought to hire two post-doc fellows last November , who would be tasked with using bats “ to research the molecular mechanism that allows Ebola and SARS-associated coronaviruses to lie dormant for a long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ denied the US access to the Wuhan lab , according to US Secretary of State , Mike Pompeo .
The facility has come under increased scrutiny after it was revealed that the US government under the Obama administration funded research there for a number of years .
In addition , a world renowned Russian microbiologist claimed last week that the novel coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of Wuhan scientists doing “ absolutely crazy things ” in their lab .
Furthermore , a University of Texas Medical Branch lab director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says that it would be foolish to dismiss the idea that the coronavirus escaped from the facility , and that “ Accidents happen ” in such labs .


summitnews--2020-04-28--US Intel Officials Believe 45,500 Corpses Were Incinerated In One Fortnight In Wuhan

US intelligence officials believe that the true scale of China ’ s coronavirus outbreak is at least FIFTY times worse than the communist state is admitting to , and that 60,000 dead bodies per month could have been processed by the funeral homes in Wuhan .
Speaking with Fox News , a Trump administration official said that “ PRC numbers as reported today seem to be arithmetically impossible.
” “ Again , we don ’ t know the real numbers today , but we do know the about 80,000 infections and 4,000 deaths as reported by the Chinese Communist Party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” the official added .
It is believed that US intelligence has in its possession satellite images showing funeral homes in Wuhan overwhelmed by dead bodies .
Officials believe that incinerators have been in constant use for 24 hours a day since the outbreak began .
The intelligence sources have noted that in a two week period between March 23 and April 4 , over 500 urns were delivered to Wuhan families every day , which equates roughly to one urn per minute .
US intelligence therefore calculates a conservative estimate of 45,500 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The figure jives with estimates highlighted by The Washington Post earlier this month .
Intelligence officials have known for some time that China is lying about the true extent of cases and deaths inside its borders , calling CCP figures “ fake ” .
The UK government has removed China ’ s numbers from its coronavirus spread comparison list , because it is certain they have no relation to the truth .
A recent estimation of the true death toll , released by The American Enterprise Institute suggested that China must have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Hubei province and that the total number of deaths is likely well over 100,000 .
The study also noted that China is capable of hiding millions of deaths because of it ’ s size and population .
“ Chinese respiratory illnesses of all kinds could easily exceed 100 million , hiding 2.9 million COVID-19 cases , ” the report noted , concluding that “ In a typical three-month period in ex-Hubei China before COVID-19 , nearly 2.5 million people died .
Even that many deaths would be easily obscured .

Study Finds Clear Majority of Americans Will Reach “Breaking Point” if Stay-at-Home Order Continues Into June

A new study has found that 72 % of Americans will reach their “ breaking point ” if the coronavirus stay-at-home order continues into the middle of June .
In a poll conducted by Kelton Global , 1,895 U.S. citizens were asked how long they could tolerate being cooped up due to COVID-19 .
“ The survey was conducted between April 3rd and 6th , and at that time , 16 % said they had already hit their breaking point , with that number rising to 25 % within the next two weeks .
That would indicate that one in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end by now , ” according to Study Finds .

summitnews--2020-04-28--Biden Says the World Needs More “Economic Intercourse”

Presidential candidate Joe Biden made another embarrassing gaffe when he said that the world needed more “economic intercourse.”
The slip-up occurred during Biden’s CBS4 Miami interview yesterday.
Biden was asked by host Jim Defede if he would restore funding to the World Health Organization as president.
“Yes, I will. But I will also insist that we do what we were doing before. We set up a pandemic office in the White House, President Obama. We had CDC, the folks for Centers of Disease Control stationed in other countries to anticipate when we might see a virus coming, a pandemic coming, because there’s going to be more of these,” said Biden.
“I would be much more engaged in the world. We can’t step back. If, in fact, for example, we solve the problem in the United States of America and you don’t solve it in other parts of the world, you know what’s going to happen. You’re going to have travel bans, you’re going to not be able to do, have economic intercourse around the world.”
And there we have yet another example of why Biden’s team appears keen on restricting his public appearances.
Last week, Norwegian psychiatrist Fred Heggen claimed that Biden is suffering from “dementia” and that his condition has worsened “at galloping speed.”
Biden made so many gaffes on the campaign trail, they are too numerous to mention.
He also recently asked a perplexed Al Gore, “is it too late to aggress climate change?”

summitnews--2020-04-28--Tucker Carlson: “The Virus Isn’t Nearly as Deadly as We Thought It Was”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson appeared to join those demanding a move to re-open society as soon as possible when he said during his show last night “ the virus isn ’ t nearly as deadly as we thought it was.
” Carlson questioned why the San Francisco Bay area was expanding its lockdown for another five weeks until the end of May .
“ What is the scientific justification for doing that ?
” he asked .
“ They didn ’ t tell us because there is none .
None.
” Tucker said that “ radical steps ” necessary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proposed and that curve has now been flattened , “ but it ’ s likely not because of the lockdowns , the virus just isn ’ t nearly as deadly as we thought it was.
” “ It turned out not to be , hospitals never collapsed , outside of a tiny number of places they never came close to collapsing – at least not from an influx of patients , ” he concluded .
Carlson ’ s view that the lockdowns should now be lifted because the virus wasn ’ t as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the beginning of the crisis , he wasn ’ t one to take coronavirus lightly .
As we highlighted back in mid-March , Carlson reportedly drove to Mar-a-Lago to warn President Trump that the coronavirus outbreak was a massive threat and urged him to take it more seriously .

summitnews--2020-04-29--UK: 18,000 Extra Cancer Deaths Could Happen Within a Year Because of Focus on COVID-19

A new study concludes that there could be 18,000 extra cancer deaths in the UK within a year because victims are not able to get screenings and treatment due to the focus on COVID-19 .
“ Delays in diagnosing and treating cancer could hurt the survival chances of thousands of people across England , joint research by University College London ( UCL ) and the Health Data Research Hub for Cancer ( DATA-CAN ) suggests , ” reports RT .
“ Scientists analyzed data from more than 3.5 million patients and discovered that the Covid-19 outbreak could indirectly lead to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a year , including 6,270 fatal cases in newly diagnosed cancer patients.
” The study discovered an 76 per cent average drop in early cancer diagnosis referrals and a chemotherapy attendance reduction of 60 per cent in England .
Cancer patients are avoiding hospitals partly due to fears over catching COVID-19 and partly because they were told health workers would be “ overwhelmed ” by coronavirus , something that never happened .
Indeed , acute hospital beds in the UK are four times emptier than normal and overspill hospitals are being being used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are also routinely waiting 2 hours for an ambulance to arrive while 2,300 cancer diagnoses are being missed each week because they are not being referred for urgent scans and tests .
As we previously highlighted , Richard Sullivan , professor of cancer at Kings College , London , also warned that excess cancer deaths could eventually outstrip COVID-19 deaths .
“ The number of deaths due to the disruption of cancer services is likely to outweigh the number of deaths from the coronavirus itself over the next five years , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of cancer care will cause considerable avoidable suffering , ” said Sullivan .
“ Cancer screening services have stopped , which means we will miss our chance to catch many cancers when they are treatable and curable , such as cervical , bowel and breast.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is calling for coronavirus lockdowns to be eased and America to be re-opened , asserting , “ give people their freedom back !

summitnews--2020-04-29--Watch: Biden Struggles To Stay Awake During Hillary Interview

Joe Biden once again struggled to put two words together, conveniently, when he was asked by a reporter about his son’s business dealings with China.
Sleepily talking from his basement, Biden replied that his son’s business dealings in China do not make him vulnerable because They “were not anything what everybody that he’s talking about. Not even remotely.”
What that means is anyone’s guess.
Biden, who was endorsed by Hilary Clinton this week, also declared during the same interview that he intends to reverse President Trump’s decision to pause funding to the World Health Organisation until it’s role with China in downplaying the coronavirus outbreak has been investigated.
During his interview with Hillary, Biden struggled to stay awake.

summitnews--2020-04-29--Report: Trump Determined To Get US Troops Out Of Afghanistan

Reports this week have once again shed light on President Trump ’ s continued efforts to get US troops out of the middle east and away from conflicts pursued by his predecessors .
A report by NBC news notes that Trump “ complains almost daily ” that US troops are still in Afghanistan , and that now they are at risk from the coronavirus outbreak .
“ His renewed push to withdraw all of them has been spurred by the convergence of his concern that coronavirus poses a force protection issue for thousands of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peace deal with the Taliban , ” officials have told NBC .
“ U.S .
officials worry the virus could become rampant in Afghanistan , given its lack of health care and testing and its shared border with Iran , which has been hit hard by the pandemic.
” the report adds .
“ Afghanistan is going to have a significant coronavirus issue , ” a former senior U.S. official said .
“ It hasn ’ t really manifested yet but it will.
” As highlighted in other reports , Afghanistan ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be overrun by “ millions ” of coronavirus cases .
According to the NBC report , Trump isn ’ t happy with the progress of US and NATO troops being withdrawn from the country , which was part of a deal signed with the Taliban in February .
The accord paved the way for a large US troop reduction to 8,600 within 135 days of signing , numbers that are not being achieved quickly enough for Trump .
The report notes that military advisors are worried that troops will also have to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re brought home from Afghanistan .
“ The president ’ s military advisers have made the case to him that if the U.S. pulls troops out of Afghanistan because of the coronavirus , by that standard the Pentagon would also have to withdraw from places like Italy , which has been hit particularly hard by the pandemic , officials said.
” It ’ s difficult to imagine that Trump would have much of a problem with that either .

Legendary national security journalist Seymour Hersh has published a report this week alleging US intelligence helped the Ukrainians blow up the Kerch Bridge (or also, Crimean Bridge), which happened earlier this month and corresponded to President Putin refusing to renew the Black Sea Grain Initiative deal.
What’s more is that Hersh’s sources described that the US assisted in the initial, larger Kerch Bridge explosion which had initially temporarily disabled it in October 2022. “The Biden administration’s role in both attacks was vital,” he wrote in a Thursday Substack investigative article.
“Of course it was our technology,” an unnamed US official told Hersh, referring to the sea drone which detonated under the vital bridge on July 17. “The drone was remotely guided and half submerged–like a torpedo.”
The source cited is said to be a US intelligence official who is speaking out anonymously “from the point of view of those in the American intelligence community who don’t feel they have the ear of President Joe Biden but should.”
“Our national strategy is that Zelensky can do whatever he wants to do. There’s no adult supervision,” the US official complained.
A section proving to be among the more blunt and controversial assessments from Hersh’s report is as follows:
At this point, with the Ukraine counteroffensive against Russia thwarted, the official said, “Zelensky has no plan, except to hang on. It’s as if he’s an orphan—a poor waif in his underwear—and we have no real idea of what Zelensky and his crowd are thinking. Ukraine is the most corrupt and dumbest government in the world, outside of Nigeria, and Biden’s support of Zelensky can only come from Zelensky’s knowledge of Biden, and not just because he was taking care of Biden’s son.” There are some in the American intelligence community, the official said, who worry about Putin’s response to the recent Ukrainian drone attacks in central Moscow. “Will Kiev be next?”
Over the course of the two attacks, there were multiple casualties and fatalities, including the parents of a 14-year old girl, the latter who was badly injured. The family was traveling on vacation when their car was blown apart during the July 17 bridge attack.
A partial excerpt of Hersh’s new report can be viewed below…
* * *
Let’s take a look at recent events in the Ukraine war from the point of view of those in the American intelligence community who don’t feel they have the ear of President Joe Biden but should.
On July 17 Ukraine attacked for a second time one of Russian President Vladimir’s proudest achievements: the 11.25-mile Kerch Bridge linking Crimea to Russia. The 3.7 billion dollar bridge, with separate spans for auto and train traffic, was opened for auto traffic in May of 2018 and for trucks five months later, with Putin himself driving the first one to make the crossing.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made it clear before the Russian invasion early last year that he considered the bridge a legitimate military target. Ukraine initially attacked the bridge last October, using a truck bomb, but it was fully repaired within seven months. The most recent attack, by a pair of submersible drones, killed a couple who were driving across when the explosion occurred and injured their child. Damage to one of the auto spans was severe.
The Biden administration’s role in both attacks was vital. “Of course it was our technology,” one American official told me. “The drone was remotely guided and half submerged—like a torpedo.” I asked if there was any thought before the bridge attack about the possibility of retaliation. “What will Putin do? We don’t think that far,” the official said. “Our national strategy is that Zelensky can do whatever he wants to do. There’s no adult supervision.”
Putin responded to the second attack on the bridge by ending an agreement that enabled Ukrainian wheat and other vital food crops, stymied by the ongoing war, to be shipped from blocked ports on the Black Sea. (Before the war Ukraine exported more grain than the entire European Union and nearly half of the world’s sunflower seeds.) And Russia began steadily intensifying missile and rocket attacks in Odessa, whose initial target list has expanded from port areas to inner city sites.
The official said there was a lot more than grain and sunflower seeds flowing into Europe from Odessa and other Black Sea ports: “Odessa’s exports included illegal stuff like drugs and the oil that Ukraine was getting from Russia.”
At this point, with the Ukraine counteroffensive against Russia thwarted, the official said, “Zelensky has no plan, except to hang on. It’s as if he’s an orphan—a poor waif in his underwear—and we have no real idea of what Zelensky and his crowd are thinking. Ukraine is the most corrupt and dumbest government in the world, outside of Nigeria, and Biden’s support of Zelensky can only come from Zelensky’s knowledge of Biden, and not just because he was taking care of Biden’s son.”
There are some in the American intelligence community, the official said, who worry about Putin’s response to the recent Ukrainian drone attacks in central Moscow. “Will Kiev be next?”

summitnews--2020-04-29--Poll: Majority of Canadians Think Coronavirus Vaccine Should be Mandatory

A new poll finds that the majority of Canadians – 60 per cent – think that when a vaccine for coronavirus becomes available it should be made mandatory .
The survey , conducted by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies , found that “ 60 per cent of respondents believe people should be required to get the vaccine once it is ready.
” 40 per cent think it should be voluntary .
Leger executive vice-president Christian Bourque said he was surprised support for a mandatory vaccine wasn ’ t even higher .
“ It ’ s almost as if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flu vaccine , ” Bourque told The Canadian Press .
“ I myself would have expected a higher number given the severity , given the crisis we ’ re in .
But Canadians are kind of divided on this.
” Many experts have suggested that a vaccine may not even be successful due to the nature of the coronavirus family and the fact that it can mutate .
As we highlighted yesterday , one of the faces of Canada ’ s response to the coronavirus outbreak also appears to support punishing people who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s current Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam appeared in a 2010 documentary in which she asserted that vaccine refusniks should be put under constant surveillance via electronic tagging .
“ If there are people who are non-compliant , there are definitely laws and public health powers that can quarantine people in mandatory settings , ” said Tam .
“ It ’ s potential you could track people , put bracelets on their arms , have police and other set ups to ensure quarantine is undertaken , ” she added .

The World Health Organization has flip-flopped on coronavirus once again after it appeared to endorse Sweden ’ s policy of not implementing a full lockdown .
Sweden chose not to enforce a full lockdown , keeping many parts of its economy open , keeping children in school and advising voluntary social distancing measures as well as encouraging vulnerable people to stay indoors .
Despite receiving a barrage of criticism , the policy appears to have worked .
Sweden has a lower per capita death toll than the UK , which enforced a full lockdown , is well on the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achieved all this without wrecking its economy .
Having initially advocated against quarantines before praising China for imposing its draconian crackdown , the WHO has apparently changed its tune once again .
Dr. Mike Ryan , Executive Director of the World Health Organization ’ s Health Emergencies Programme , pointed out that Sweden ’ s healthcare system has not been overwhelmed and that their government was right to trust their people to self-regulate .
Ryan now says that Sweden ’ s approach should be a “ model ” for other countries as they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are lessons to be learnt by our colleagues in Sweden , ” said Ryan .
“ The WHO initially opposed , then embraced lockdowns , and now it ’ s apparently back to opposing them again , ” reports Zero Hedge .
