consciouslifenews--2020-12-11--How Changing the Definition of Pandemic Altered Our World

Other hyped pandemics that were predicted to become global killers — but didn ’ t — include the 2005 bird flu outbreak and the H1N1 swine flu pandemic of 2009 , a vaccine for which caused narcolepsy in thousands of European children In 1976 , fear of an impending swine flu pandemic led to the deployment of a fast-tracked vaccine that injured thousands and killed at least 300 .

The WHO removed the severity and high mortality criteria , leaving the definition of a pandemic as “ a worldwide epidemic of a disease ” Had it not been for the World Health Organization changing the definition of “ pandemic , ” COVID-19 would no longer be an issue .

” This definition was changed in the month leading up to the 2009 swine flu pandemic .
The change was a simple but substantial one : They merely removed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaving the definition of a pandemic as “ a worldwide epidemic of a disease.
” 11 This switch in definition allowed the WHO to declare swine flu a pandemic after a mere 144 people had died from the infection , worldwide , and it 's why COVID-19 is still promoted as a pandemic even though it has caused no excess mortality in nine months.12,13,14 We now have plenty of data showing the lethality of COVID-19 is on par with the seasonal flu.15,16,17,18,19 It may be different in terms of symptoms and complications , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same .
The absolute risk of death is equivalent to the risk of dying in a car accident.20,21 By removing the criteria of severe illness causing high morbidity , leaving geographically widespread infection as the only criteria for a pandemic , the WHO and technocratic leaders of the world were able to bamboozle the global population into giving up our lives and livelihoods .
As noted by Reiner Fuellmich , an attorney and founding member of the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee , the COVID-19 pandemic is “ probably the greatest crime against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is n't the first time doom and gloom predictions of mass casualties have completely collapsed .
It 's also not the first time that fast-tracked pandemic vaccines have been issued , with devastating effect .
In that regard , we can learn a lot from the 1976 swine flu pandemic , detailed in the 1979 “ 60 Minutes ” episode featured above .
This was also the first time drug companies were indemnified against liability for any harm that might result from a fast-tracked vaccine .
In February 1976 , secretary of health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there were indications that the virus responsible for the deadly 1918 flu pandemic had returned .

” In 2006 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , hyped warnings over the bird flu were repeatedly exposed as little more than a cruel hoax , designed to instill fear and line the pocketbooks of industry and various vested individuals .
Then came the now-infamous H1N1 swine flu of 2009.33 The CDC estimates that from April 12 , 2009 , to April 10 , 2010 , there were 60.8 million cases of H1N1 infection , 274,000 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the United States .

In 1976, fear of an impending swine flu pandemic led to the deployment of a fast-tracked vaccine that injured thousands and killed at least 300. In the end, the pandemic never materialized. The 1976 swine flu vaccine program has been cited as the origin of the anti-vaccine movement
This is how COVID-19 is still promoted as a pandemic even though it has caused no excess mortality in nine months
This definition was changed in the month leading up to the 2009 swine flu pandemic. The WHO removed the severity and high mortality criteria, leaving the definition of a pandemic as “a worldwide epidemic of a disease”
Had it not been for the World Health Organization changing the definition of “pandemic,” COVID-19 would no longer be an issue. The WHO’s original definition of a pandemic specified simultaneous epidemics worldwide “with enormous numbers of deaths and illnesses”
Mid-March 2020 predictions said COVID-19 would kill 2.2 million Americans if allowed to run its course.1 By the end of March, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, downgraded the projected death toll, saying we were probably looking at 100,000 to 240,000 Americans dying.2
April 8, 2020, a new model referred to as the Murray Model3 downgraded the threat further, predicting COVID-19 will kill 60,000 in the U.S. by August 20204 — a number that is still 20,000 lower than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's death toll numbers attributed to the seasonal flu the winter of 2017/2018.5
Now, nine months into the pandemic, mortality statistics clearly show the truth: The COVID-19 pandemic is a pandemic in name only. In reality, there's no excess mortality,6,7,8, and had it not been for the World Health Organization changing the definition of “pandemic,” COVID-19 would no longer be an issue.
I know some will balk at the concept of no excess mortality but the truth is the truth, and when you examine the existing numbers, that is what you find. If you integrate the U.S. Centers for Disease and Prevention's comments that 94% of those who died had comorbidities, which could easily be the real cause of the reported “COVID-19 deaths,” it then becomes obvious that the numbers were highly inflated.
Definition of Pandemic Substantially Altered
The WHO's original definition of a pandemic was:9,10
“… when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several, simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness.”
The key portion of that definition is “enormous numbers of deaths and illness.” This definition was changed in the month leading up to the 2009 swine flu pandemic. The change was a simple but substantial one: They merely removed the severity and high mortality criteria, leaving the definition of a pandemic as “a worldwide epidemic of a disease.”11
This switch in definition allowed the WHO to declare swine flu a pandemic after a mere 144 people had died from the infection, worldwide, and it's why COVID-19 is still promoted as a pandemic even though it has caused no excess mortality in nine months.12,13,14
We now have plenty of data showing the lethality of COVID-19 is on par with the seasonal flu.15,16,17,18,19 It may be different in terms of symptoms and complications, but the actual lethality is about the same. The absolute risk of death is equivalent to the risk of dying in a car accident.20,21
By removing the criteria of severe illness causing high morbidity, leaving geographically widespread infection as the only criteria for a pandemic, the WHO and technocratic leaders of the world were able to bamboozle the global population into giving up our lives and livelihoods.
As noted by Reiner Fuellmich, an attorney and founding member of the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee, the COVID-19 pandemic is “probably the greatest crime against humanity ever committed.”22,23,24,25
This certainly isn't the first time doom and gloom predictions of mass casualties have completely collapsed. It's also not the first time that fast-tracked pandemic vaccines have been issued, with devastating effect.
In that regard, we can learn a lot from the 1976 swine flu pandemic, detailed in the 1979 “60 Minutes” episode featured above. This was also the first time drug companies were indemnified against liability for any harm that might result from a fast-tracked vaccine.
The Swine Flu Fraud of 1976
In February 1976, secretary of health F. David Matthews warned the American people there were indications that the virus responsible for the deadly 1918 flu pandemic had returned. In January that year, a 19-year-old Army private had died from flu-related pneumonia, despite being in good health, and by the end of the month, 155 soldiers at Fort Dix tested positive for swine flu antibodies.
Projections suggested the dreaded virus would kill 1 million Americans before the end of 1976.26 “The government propaganda machine cranked into action,” “60 Minutes” says, urging all Americans to get vaccinated against the swine flu.
Americans who got the swine flu vaccine were told it had been properly field-tested. What they were not told was that the vaccine they received was not the actual vaccine that had undergone testing.
According to “60 Minutes,” 46 million Americans got the vaccine, and over the next few years, thousands of Americans filed vaccine damage claims with the federal government.27
This was well before the 1986 Vaccine Compensation Act, so vaccines were still liable for damages at that time. Congress did grant the swine flu vaccine special immunity, though, and wound up paying (actually U.S. taxpayers did) for the $3.5 billion in damages the vaccine caused. A 1981 report by the U.S. General Accounting Office to Sen. John Durkin reads, in part:28
“Before the swine flu program there were comparatively few vaccine-related claims made against the Government. Since 1963, Public Health Service records showed that only 27 non-swine flu claims were filed.
However, as of December 31, 1979, we found that 3,839 claims and 988 lawsuits had been filed against the Government alleging injury, death, or other damage resulting from the 45 million swine flu immunizations given under the program.
A Justice official told us that as of October 2, 1980, 3,965 claims and 1,384 lawsuits had been filed. Of the 3,965 claims filed, the Justice official said 316 claims had been settled for about $12.3 million …”
$3.5 Billion Dollars in Damages Paid for Vaccine Injuries
According to “60 Minutes,” the amount of the final claim for the nearly 4,000 claimants ended up totaling $3.5 billion. Two-thirds of the claimants suffered neurological damage and at least 300 of them died from vaccine side effects. In the end, the pandemic itself never materialized.29 An article by Real Clear Politics described the timeline of the pandemic that wasn't, and the circumstances that led to the indemnification of vaccine makers:30
“All of the reported swine flu cases had been limited to the soldiers in Private Lewis' camp. The virus wasn't spreading. For some reason this information did not mollify the doctors, and on Feb. 14, 1976, the CDC issued a notice to all U.S. hospitals to be on the lookout for any cases of swine flu.
By March … not one case of swine flu had been reported outside of Fort Dix. For some reason this news did not placate the doctors either, and on March 13, 1976, the director of the CDC asked Congress for money to develop and test enough swine flu vaccine to immunize at least 80% of the population of the United States …
By July, [scientists] were pretty much agreed that a flu pandemic in 1976 would not lead to 1 million U.S. dead. The flu strain extracted from Private Lewis, they learned, was much less virulent that the 1918 strain …
The World Health Organization ordered hospitals to keep a global lookout for swine flu, but it did not request mass immunization … But the U.S. government was unstoppable. Congress began to pressure the drug companies to work faster toward development of a swine flu vaccine …
The drug companies suggested that they could work faster if they were given immunity from lawsuits in the event something went wrong with the vaccine. Congress refused. The issue of legal liability remained at an impasse until Aug. 2, 1976.
On that day, two members of the American Legion died of a strange respiratory disease they acquired at the Legion's convention in Philadelphia. Congress collectively freaked.
Panicky news reports out of Philadelphia hinted that the deaths were the beginning of the Great Swine Flu Epidemic of 1976. On Aug. 3, Congress agreed to completely indemnify the drug companies against any and all lawsuits they might incur as a result of the distribution of swine flu vaccine.”
CDC Lied About Swine Flu Vaccine Safety
According to “60 Minutes,” Americans who got the swine flu vaccine were told it had been properly field-tested. What they were not told was that the vaccine they received was not the actual vaccine that had undergone testing.
What's more, according to Dr. Michael Hattwick, who directed the surveillance team for the 1976 swine flu vaccination program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there was evidence showing influenza vaccinations could, and had, caused neurological complications in the past.
He claims he warned his superiors of this possibility, as it pertained to the swine flu campaign. Yet the CDC denied the evidence and the American public was never informed of this risk. “60 Minutes” also reveals the CDC was proven to have lied in its marketing materials for the vaccine.
Judy Roberts was one of the victims of that 1976 vaccination campaign. She was paralyzed by the vaccine and suffered permanent damage. Her husband, who also was vaccinated and suffered no ill effects, ends the “60 Minute” segment saying:
“I told Judy to take the shot … I'm mad with my government. They knew the facts but they didn't release those facts, because if they had released them, people wouldn't have taken it.
And they can come out tomorrow and tell me there's going to be an epidemic, and they can drop off like flies next to me, and I will not take another shot that my government tells me to take.”
The Origin of the Anti-Vaccine Movement
The 1976 swine flu vaccine program has sometimes been cited as the origin of the anti-vaccine movement, and for good reason. Thousands were seriously injured and hundreds died after placing their trust in scientists and the government. Many of them, just like Roberts in the “60 Minutes” segment, vowed never to be that naïve again. As reported by Smithsonian Magazine in 2017:31
“In the spring of 1976, it looked like that year's flu was the real thing. Spoiler alert: it wasn't, and rushed response led to a medical debacle that hasn't gone away.
‘Some of the American public's hesitance to embrace vaccines — the flu vaccine in particular — can be attributed to the long-lasting effects of a failed 1976 campaign to mass-vaccinate the public against a strain of the swine flu virus,' writes Rebecca Kreston for Discover.
‘This government-led campaign was widely viewed as a debacle and put an irreparable dent in future public health initiative, as well as negatively influenced the public's perception of both the flu and the flu shot in this country.'”
Pandemic Threats Have Repeatedly Turned to Naught
Sadly, the embarrassment of the 1976 swine flu debacle did not put an end to faux pandemics. In the last 15 years alone we've had to defend against wave upon wave of pandemic pandemonium, none of which turned out to be the global killer that “experts” predicted.
The 2005 bird flu outbreak, for example, was predicted to kill anywhere from 2 million to 150 million people. In reality, the death toll topped out at just 98 people, globally, in 2005; 115 in 2006; and 86 in 2007.32 No one in the U.S. died from this infection, and the sheer brazenness of this fake pandemic prompted me to write my New York Times bestseller book “The Great Bird Flu Hoax.”
In 2006, 2007, and again in 2008, hyped warnings over the bird flu were repeatedly exposed as little more than a cruel hoax, designed to instill fear and line the pocketbooks of industry and various vested individuals.
Then came the now-infamous H1N1 swine flu of 2009.33 The CDC estimates that from April 12, 2009, to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million cases of H1N1 infection, 274,000 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the United States. The infection fatality rate was a mere 0.02%. Then, as now, vaccines were fast-tracked. Lo and behold, within months, cases of disability and death from the H1N1 vaccine were reported in various parts of the world.
In 2010, the ASO3-adjuvanted swine flu vaccine Pandemrix (used in Europe but not in the U.S. during 2009-2010) was causally linked34 to childhood narcolepsy, which had abruptly skyrocketed in several countries during the vaccination campaign.35,36
In the aftermath, the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) raised serious questions about the WHO's handling of the pandemic and the role drug companies may have played in its drug and vaccine recommendations.
In June 2010, PACE concluded “the handling of the pandemic by the WHO, EU health agencies and national governments led to a ‘waste of large sums of public money, and unjustified scares and fears about the health risks faced by the European public.'”37
Specifically, PACE concluded there was “overwhelming evidence that the seriousness of the pandemic was vastly overrated by WHO,” and that the drug industry had influenced the organization's decision-making. 38
The sad reality is that the WHO is little more than a front group for Big Pharma and the technocratic elite that seek to “reset” the global economic and social structure. It would indeed be naïve to expect this private organization to do what's right for public health while simultaneously taking direction from Bill Gates (its primary funder) and the drug industry.
While the 2009 swine flu pandemic was the most significant in terms of the fearmongering brought to bear, in the summer of 2012, dire predictions of mutating bird flu again filled the media, followed by urgent calls for yet another fast-tracked vaccine.
Two years later, in 2014, the Ebola virus turned into a global health emergency after epidemics in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone had been largely ignored. Interestingly enough, a UN resolution called for no restrictions on international travel to Ebola-stricken countries — a decision that led to an infected passenger bringing the infection to the U.S.
Another two years after that, in 2016, the Zika virus hit pandemic status,39 triggering travel alerts and restrictions in and out of affected regions. All of these pandemics defied experts' predictions of mass casualties. None turned into a global killer, and COVID-19 is no different.40,41,42
Why We Must End Gain-of-Function Research
Time and again, serious safety breaches have been identified at laboratories working with the most lethal and dangerous pathogens in the world,43,44,45,46,47,48,49, and mounting evidence suggests SARS-CoV-2 maybe a lab creation as well.
Scientists defend and promote gain-of-function research by insisting it allows us to prepare for pandemics.50 In reality, this kind of research does not appear to have improved governments' pandemic responses in the least. If anything, it's a curious coincidence that the very viruses undergoing gain-of-function research are the ones causing pandemics.
As just one example, an article51 by Mark Denison, editor of mBio, presents a hypothesis for the 1977-1978 H1N1 swine flu pandemic, often referred to as the Russian flu, as the first cases were reported in the USSR. According to Denison, the pandemic “was probably not a natural event, as the genetic sequence of the virus was nearly identical to the sequences of decades-old strains.”
The lab hypothesis has “gained popularity in discussions about the biosafety risks of gain-of-function influenza virus research, as an argument for why this research should not be performed,” he writes. Another possibility of being kicked around is that the infection spread through a live-vaccine trial. A third option: a deliberate release as a bioweapon.
As noted in a 2009 New England Journal of Medicine review article, which provided a historical perspective on the emergence of H1N1 viruses:52
“Even though human influenza A (H1N1) virus had not circulated since 1957 and the swine influenza A (H1N1) virus that had been identified at Fort Dix did not extend outside the base, in November 1977, the H1N1 strain reemerged in the former Soviet Union, Hong Kong, and northeastern China.
This strain affected primarily young people in a relatively mild presentation. Careful study of the genetic origin of the virus showed that it was closely related to a 1950 strain but dissimilar to influenza A (H1N1) strains from both 1947 and 1957.
This finding suggested that the 1977 outbreak strain had been preserved since 1950. The reemergence was probably an accidental release from a laboratory source in the setting of waning population immunity to H1 and N1 antigens.”
Can history repeat itself? There are no guarantees that it can't or won't, which is why it's so important we find out where SARS-CoV-2 really came from. As noted by the National Review,53 getting to the bottom of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial if we want to prevent a similar pandemic in the future:
“If it originated from a person eating bat or pangolin at a wet market, then we need to take steps to ensure that bat and pangolin consumption and trade stops …
Bat guano is used as fertilizer in many countries, and that guano can be full of viruses … If this is the source of the virus, we need to get people to stop going into caves and using the guano as fertilizer …

Sin Hang Lee and Informed Consent Action Network ( ICAN ) have petitioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) to require accurate counts of COVID-19 cases in the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine trial .
“ Until an accurate count of COVID-19 cases in the vaccinated and placebo groups has been determined for vaccine efficacy evaluation , we are asking the FDA to stay its decision regarding the emergency use authorization for this vaccine , ” said Dr. Lee , director of Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory .
The major reason for petitioning the FDA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Phase 2/3 clinical trial of the Pfizer vaccine used a presumptive RT-qPCR diagnostic test .
This test is acknowledged by the medical science community to generate high rates of false-positive results among qualified trial participants from the placebo group with minor symptoms such as a sore throat or a new cough .
This is especially evident when a de facto unblinding among the trial participants has taken place , according to the petition .
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine trial primarily uses an RT-qPCR test that employs cycle thresholds possibly up to 44.9 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ positive that require high levels of amplification ( cycle thresholds greater than 30 to 35 ) are usually false positives , said Dr. Lee .
A recent review of a COVID-19 PCR test , which was signed by 22 international scientists , emphatically stated : “ To determine whether the amplified products are indeed SARS-CoV-2 genes , biomolecular validation of amplified PCR products is essential .
For a diagnostic test , this validation is an absolute must .
Validation of PCR products should be performed by either running the PCR product in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ size indicator ( DNA ruler or DNA ladder ) so that the size of the product can be estimated .
The size must correspond to the calculated size of the amplification product .
But it is even better to sequence the amplification product .
The latter will give 100 % certainty about the identity of the amplification product .
Without molecular validation one can not be sure about the identity of the amplified PCR products… ” A recent petition to the European Medicines Agency to stay their COVID-19 vaccine trials used similar arguments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being used and the need for confirmatory sequencing .
On Dec. 1 , Switzerland ’ s medical regulator , Swissmedic , said it lacks the necessary information to approve three different coronavirus vaccines ordered by the government , including the Pfizer vaccine .
In a recent interview about the pending review of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine , FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn has promised , “ we will make a determination regarding safety and efficacy based upon our very stringent criteria.
” As stated in the petition , if Pfizer is unable to perform @ @ @ @ @ @ @ RNA samples to confirm their stated vaccine efficacy rate of 95 % , Dr. Lee has offered to re-test the residues of these samples in his laboratory .

The major reason for petitioning the FDA for a stay of action is that the Phase 2/3 clinical trial of the Pfizer vaccine used a presumptive RT-qPCR diagnostic test.

Most vitamin C research has used inadequate , low doses , which don ’ t lead to clinical results .

While it does have anti-inflammatory activity , which helps prevent the massive cytokine cascade associated with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection , its antiviral capacity likely has more to do with it being a non-rate-limited free radical scavenger .
Three pioneers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1.Dr .
Claus Washington Jungeblut — A professor of bacteriology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons , Jungeblut was a pioneer polio researcher and the first to report that vitamin C is an antiviral antitoxin .
Vitamin C was used as prevention and treatment for polio , an idea first published by Jungeblut in 1935.3 “ It ’ s astonishing to many that if vitamin C were proven to be an antiviral , even in small doses , back in the 1930s , that interest would be there now , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ C as a preventive and , indeed , as a treatment for the viral disease at the present time , ” Saul says .
2.Dr .
Frederick Robert Klenner — For decades , Klenner , a North Carolina-based board-certified chest specialist , treated patients with injections of vitamin C ranging from 300 milligrams ( mg ) to 1,200 mg per kilogram ( kg ) of body weight per day , successfully treating polio , pneumonia , and other serious viral diseases.4 Klenner , the first physician to use vitamin C therapy with 40 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ When proper amounts are used , ascorbic acid will destroy all virus organisms.
” 3.Dr .
Robert F. Cathcart III — Cathcart was a California physician and orthopedic surgeon who developed the value of vitamin C as an antiviral and used oral and IV doses of up to 200,000 mg per day .
Beginning in the late 1960s , Cathcart used large doses of vitamin C to successfully treat viral illnesses including influenza , pneumonia , hepatitis , and AIDS .
It ’ s often asked how you can determine if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Cathcart described this in great detail in a paper in 1981.5 With oral doses , when you ’ ve had all the vitamin C your body can handle , you ’ ll develop loose stools .
With intravenous vitamin C , however , this doesn ’ t occur .
Liposomal vitamin C will also allow you to take much higher dosages without getting loose stools .
You can take up to 100 grams ( 100,000 mg ) of liposomal vitamin C without problems and get really high blood levels , equivalent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This should be viewed as an acute treatment , however .
Cathcart , a physician with decades of experience using vitamin C to treat viral illness , said , “ I have not seen any flu yet that was not cured or markedly ameliorated by massive doses of vitamin C. ” Saul believes this would apply to any viral illness , including COVID-19 .
He posted the quote on Facebook , which quickly flagged it as “ false information ” according to its fact-checkers : February 12 , 2020 , Saul made the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ research of Jungeblut , Klenner , and Cathcart , “ The coronavirus pandemic can be dramatically slowed , or stopped , with the immediate widespread use of high doses of vitamin C. ” Facebook immediately blocked his post claiming it was false , based on the opinion — again — of anonymous fact-checkers , most of whom have no formal medical training .
He responded , “ Preventing and treating respiratory infections with large amounts of vitamin C is well established .
Those who believe that vitamin C generally has merit but massive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do well to read the original papers for themselves.
” Saul adds that while other nutrients are also important , he believes vitamin C is the most important “ crisis therapy ” for those who find themselves in the intensive care unit , extremely ill and at risk of dying from COVID-19 .
It ’ s also the least expensive preventive for the general public .
“ After I posted that one mention about vitamin C and COVID , ” Saul said , “ vitamin C started selling out and disappearing from shelves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I guess the fact-checkers were a little bit late .
But ultimately , they did shut down the spread of this information — information about viruses being treated with vitamin C. ” 6 Saul also highlights a study , published in Chinese , that detailed the accounts of four patients admitted to Xi ’ an Jiaotong University Second Hospital with COVID-19 , who recovered in February 2020 .
“ High-dose vitamin C achieved good results in clinical applications , ” the researchers noted , adding , “ Vitamin C treatment should be initiated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and , “ High-dose vitamin C can not only improve antiviral levels but more importantly , can prevent and treat acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress.
” Although Saul shared this information , it was not picked up by the media .
Another quote from Dr. ZhiYong Peng , chief of critical care at Zhongnan Hospital , Wuhan University , reads : Further , according to Saul , the government of Shanghai , China , officially recommends treating COVID-19 with intravenous vitamin C at a dose of 200 mg per kg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adult intravenous dosage of approximately 16,000 mg/day .
The protocol was published by the Chinese Medical Association.7 Facebook and its fact-checkers , again disagreed , flagging the information as “ partly false.
” “ They never contacted me to check my sources … They never contacted the hospitals … or anyone in China … They never contacted the experts that we quoted , and they never contacted the government of Shanghai , ” Saul said .
“ They simply decided it was false news , and that was the end of it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the public withholds it from the patient .
I accuse the media of negligence.
” Even a commentary published in The Lancet : Respiratory Medicine in March 2020 states , “ Rescue therapy with high-dose vitamin C can also be considered ” 8 in patients with respiratory failure from acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS ) caused by COVID-19 .
“ Very little has been done with this , unfortunately , ” Saul states , despite it having been published in the earliest months of the pandemic .
Other articles and YouTube @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vitamin C for COVID-19 have also been censored or removed completely .
One objection sometimes given is that high-dose vitamin C is dangerous , but as Saul notes , it ’ s one of the most studied therapies in history .
In 2007 , a study published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine by Harri Hemila , considered to be an authority on vitamin C , called potential harms of large doses of vitamin C “ unfounded , ” and stated that patients with pneumonia can take up to 100 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ developing diarrhea , “ possibly because of the changes in vitamin C metabolism caused by the severe infection.
” 9 Past research by Hemila and colleagues found that 17,000 mg/day of intravenous vitamin C shortened intensive care unit stays by 44 % .10 According to Saul , Dr. Richard Cheng , a Chinese American physician , further reported that about 50 moderate to severe cases of COVID-19 infection were treated with high-dose vitamin C , involving 10,000 mg for moderate cases and 20,000 mg for more severe cases , for seven to 10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the patients improve , but there were no side effects reported from the vitamin C therapy .
“ You guessed it , ” Saul said , “ Fact-checkers said it ’ s false .
Facebook said it ’ s false .
The media said it ’ s false .
And this report , by a physician direct from Shanghai , who personally worked with the chief of emergency medicine of a major hospital , right there , and had success … all of this was called false information and banned from Facebook.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the World Health Organization met with about a dozen tech companies , including Google , Amazon , and YouTube , instructing them to stop the spread of coronavirus misinformation .
The group , which planned to meet every few months , has been targeting information related to natural health treatments like vitamin C , calling them fake news and conspiracies.11 But in reality , Saul said , the labeling of vitamin C for COVID-19 as fake news is “ organized censorship .
This does fit the description of conspiracy .
They are trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from getting out .
And , unfortunately , to a large extent , they have succeeded.
” Even Dr. Anthony Fauci , director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , said , on the record in 2016 , “ Take vitamin C. It can enhance your body ’ s defense against microbes.
” 12 Then , during the pandemic , he mentioned it again , in an Instagram interview , where he said that vitamin D will help your body resist infection , and added , “ The other vitamin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's a good antioxidant , so if people want to take a gram or so of vitamin C , that would be fine.
” 13,14 Cheng also interviewed a family in Wuhan , China , which took large doses of vitamin C and didn ’ t get COVID-19 , despite close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient .
The video was removed by YouTube .
“ I can ’ t believe this is happening , ” Cheng said .
Dr. Paul Marik has also shown a protocol of intravenous vitamin C with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dramatically improves survival rates in patients with sepsis .
Since sepsis is one of the reasons people die from COVID-19 infection , Marik 's vitamin C protocol may go a long way toward saving people 's lives in this pandemic .
That protocol calls for 1,500 mg of ascorbic acid every six hours and appears radically effective .
However , I would recommend taking even higher doses using liposomal vitamin C if you 're taking it orally .
Personally , I discourage people from taking mega doses of vitamin C on a regular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I view high dose vitamin C as a very safe and effective intervention for acute upper respiratory infections largely because it converts to hydrogen peroxide , which your body uses to fight infections .
I don ’ t believe it is necessary to take high doses for long periods of time , however .
Vitamin C ’ s potential for treating severe illness , and helping to prevent it , is something that should be widely shared , not silenced .
For more information and further reading , Saul ’ s Orthomolecular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ several dozen news releases on COVID-19 and nutrition that you probably have not seen in the media.15

In the video above, Dr. Andrew Saul, editor-in-chief of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, presents valuable information on the importance of vitamin C for disease treatment, including COVID-19 — information that’s being widely silenced via organized censorship.1
His Tokyo presentation, “Orthomolecular Medicine and Coronavirus Disease: Historical Basis for Nutritional Treatment,” highlights the fact that when used as a treatment, high doses of vitamin C — often 1,000 times more than the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) — are needed.

Three Pioneers of High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy
Vitamin C is perhaps most well-known for its antioxidant properties — properties it maintains because of an ability to donate electrons to oxidized molecules. Even in small quantities, vitamin C helps protect proteins, lipids, and DNA and RNA in your body from reactive oxygen species that are generated during normal metabolism as well as due to toxin exposure (such as to cigarette smoke and air pollution).
Vitamin C is also involved in the biosynthesis of collagen, carnitine, and catecholamines, according to Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D., and as such, “vitamin C participates in immune function, wound healing, fatty acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and blood vessel formation, as well as other key processes and pathways.”2
Vitamin C at extremely high doses, however, acts as an antiviral drug, actually killing viruses. While it does have anti-inflammatory activity, which helps prevent the massive cytokine cascade associated with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, its antiviral capacity likely has more to do with it being a non-rate-limited free radical scavenger. Three pioneers of high-dose vitamin C therapy include:
1.Dr. Claus Washington Jungeblut — A professor of bacteriology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Jungeblut was a pioneer polio researcher and the first to report that vitamin C is an antiviral antitoxin. Vitamin C was used as prevention and treatment for polio, an idea first published by Jungeblut in 1935.3 “It’s astonishing to many that if vitamin C were proven to be an antiviral, even in small doses, back in the 1930s, that interest would be there now, in the COVID pandemic, to use vitamin C as a preventive and, indeed, as a treatment for the viral disease at the present time,” Saul says. 2.Dr. Frederick Robert Klenner — For decades, Klenner, a North Carolina-based board-certified chest specialist, treated patients with injections of vitamin C ranging from 300 milligrams (mg) to 1,200 mg per kilogram (kg) of body weight per day, successfully treating polio, pneumonia, and other serious viral diseases.4 Klenner, the first physician to use vitamin C therapy with 40 years of medical practice, said, “When proper amounts are used, ascorbic acid will destroy all virus organisms.” 3.Dr. Robert F.

Beginning in the late 1960s, Cathcart used large doses of vitamin C to successfully treat viral illnesses including influenza, pneumonia, hepatitis, and AIDS. It’s often asked how you can determine if you’ve taken too much vitamin C, and Cathcart described this in great detail in a paper in 1981.5 With oral doses, when you’ve had all the vitamin C your body can handle, you’ll develop loose stools. With intravenous vitamin C, however, this doesn’t occur. Liposomal vitamin C will also allow you to take much higher dosages without getting loose stools. You can take up to 100 grams (100,000 mg) of liposomal vitamin C without problems and get really high blood levels, equivalent to or higher than intravenous vitamin C. This should be viewed as an acute treatment, however.
Fact Checkers Flagged Expert Vitamin C Opinion as False
Cathcart, a physician with decades of experience using vitamin C to treat viral illness, said, “I have not seen any flu yet that was not cured or markedly ameliorated by massive doses of vitamin C.” Saul believes this would apply to any viral illness, including COVID-19. He posted the quote on Facebook, which quickly flagged it as “false information” according to its fact-checkers:
“Some so-called fact-checkers, employed by Facebook, decided that this statement is false. I do not understand how the opinion of a medical doctor can be considered false. You can disagree with it, but it’s not false. If this is what the doctor observed, if this is the doctor’s professional opinion, it is a valid point of view. But not on Facebook.”
February 12, 2020, Saul made the statement on Facebook that based on the research of Jungeblut, Klenner, and Cathcart, “The coronavirus pandemic can be dramatically slowed, or stopped, with the immediate widespread use of high doses of vitamin C.” Facebook immediately blocked his post claiming it was false, based on the opinion — again — of anonymous fact-checkers, most of whom have no formal medical training.
He responded, “Preventing and treating respiratory infections with large amounts of vitamin C is well established. Those who believe that vitamin C generally has merit but massive doses are ineffective or somehow harmful would do well to read the original papers for themselves.”
Saul adds that while other nutrients are also important, he believes vitamin C is the most important “crisis therapy” for those who find themselves in the intensive care unit, extremely ill and at risk of dying from COVID-19. It’s also the least expensive preventive for the general public.
“After I posted that one mention about vitamin C and COVID,” Saul said, “vitamin C started selling out and disappearing from shelves in stores around the world. So I guess the fact-checkers were a little bit late. But ultimately, they did shut down the spread of this information — information about viruses being treated with vitamin C.”6
Chinese Physicians Recommend Vitamin C Treatment for COVID
Saul also highlights a study, published in Chinese, that detailed the accounts of four patients admitted to Xi’an Jiaotong University Second Hospital with COVID-19, who recovered in February 2020.
“High-dose vitamin C achieved good results in clinical applications,” the researchers noted, adding, “Vitamin C treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after admission,” and, “High-dose vitamin C can not only improve antiviral levels but more importantly, can prevent and treat acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress.”
Although Saul shared this information, it was not picked up by the media. Another quote from Dr. ZhiYong Peng, chief of critical care at Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, reads:
“In my department and other hospitals we highly recommend the patients use 12,000 milligrams to 24,000 mg a day of vitamin C. That works for significant reduction of COVID becoming a severe case. In my hospital, all the medical professionals are given vitamin C powder, to take 1,000 to 2,000 mg. I heard that the majority of the major hospitals in Wuhan are giving vitamin C powder to their medical professionals.”
Further, according to Saul, the government of Shanghai, China, officially recommends treating COVID-19 with intravenous vitamin C at a dose of 200 mg per kg of body weight per day, an adult intravenous dosage of approximately 16,000 mg/day. The protocol was published by the Chinese Medical Association.7 Facebook and its fact-checkers, again disagreed, flagging the information as “partly false.”
“They never contacted me to check my sources … They never contacted the hospitals … or anyone in China … They never contacted the experts that we quoted, and they never contacted the government of Shanghai,” Saul said. “They simply decided it was false news, and that was the end of it. I believe withholding vitamin C treatment information from the public withholds it from the patient. I accuse the media of negligence.”
Lancet Suggests High-Dose Vitamin C as ‘Rescue Therapy’
Even a commentary published in The Lancet: Respiratory Medicine in March 2020 states, “Rescue therapy with high-dose vitamin C can also be considered”8 in patients with respiratory failure from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by COVID-19. “Very little has been done with this, unfortunately,” Saul states, despite it having been published in the earliest months of the pandemic.
Other articles and YouTube videos from physicians supporting the use of vitamin C for COVID-19 have also been censored or removed completely. One objection sometimes given is that high-dose vitamin C is dangerous, but as Saul notes, it’s one of the most studied therapies in history.
In 2007, a study published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine by Harri Hemila, considered to be an authority on vitamin C, called potential harms of large doses of vitamin C “unfounded,” and stated that patients with pneumonia can take up to 100 grams a day of vitamin C without developing diarrhea, “possibly because of the changes in vitamin C metabolism caused by the severe infection.”9
Past research by Hemila and colleagues found that 17,000 mg/day of intravenous vitamin C shortened intensive care unit stays by 44%.10 According to Saul, Dr. Richard Cheng, a Chinese American physician, further reported that about 50 moderate to severe cases of COVID-19 infection were treated with high-dose vitamin C, involving 10,000 mg for moderate cases and 20,000 mg for more severe cases, for seven to 10 days.
Not only did all of the patients improve, but there were no side effects reported from the vitamin C therapy. “You guessed it,” Saul said, “Fact-checkers said it’s false. Facebook said it’s false. The media said it’s false. And this report, by a physician direct from Shanghai, who personally worked with the chief of emergency medicine of a major hospital, right there, and had success … all of this was called false information and banned from Facebook.”
‘This Is Organized Censorship’
In February 2020, Saul reports, the World Health Organization met with about a dozen tech companies, including Google, Amazon, and YouTube, instructing them to stop the spread of coronavirus misinformation. The group, which planned to meet every few months, has been targeting information related to natural health treatments like vitamin C, calling them fake news and conspiracies.11
But in reality, Saul said, the labeling of vitamin C for COVID-19 as fake news is “organized censorship. This does fit the description of conspiracy. They are trying to stop the information on vitamin C from getting out. And, unfortunately, to a large extent, they have succeeded.”
Even Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said, on the record in 2016, “Take vitamin C. It can enhance your body’s defense against microbes.”12
Then, during the pandemic, he mentioned it again, in an Instagram interview, where he said that vitamin D will help your body resist infection, and added, “The other vitamin that people take is vitamin C because it's a good antioxidant, so if people want to take a gram or so of vitamin C, that would be fine.”13,14
Cheng also interviewed a family in Wuhan, China, which took large doses of vitamin C and didn’t get COVID-19, despite close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient. The video was removed by YouTube. “I can’t believe this is happening,” Cheng said.
Dr. Paul Marik has also shown a protocol of intravenous vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine (vitamin B1) dramatically improves survival rates in patients with sepsis. Since sepsis is one of the reasons people die from COVID-19 infection, Marik's vitamin C protocol may go a long way toward saving people's lives in this pandemic.
That protocol calls for 1,500 mg of ascorbic acid every six hours and appears radically effective. However, I would recommend taking even higher doses using liposomal vitamin C if you're taking it orally.
Personally, I discourage people from taking mega doses of vitamin C on a regular basis if they're not actually sick. I view high dose vitamin C as a very safe and effective intervention for acute upper respiratory infections largely because it converts to hydrogen peroxide, which your body uses to fight infections.
I don’t believe it is necessary to take high doses for long periods of time, however. Vitamin C’s potential for treating severe illness, and helping to prevent it, is something that should be widely shared, not silenced.
