Federal officials on Tuesday ended a moratorium imposed three years ago on funding research that alters germs to make them more lethal.
Such work can now proceed, said Dr. Francis S. Collins, the head of the National Institutes of Health, but only if a scientific panel decides that the benefits justify the risks.
Some scientists are eager to pursue these studies because they may show, for example, how a bird flu could mutate to more easily infect humans, or could yield clues to making a better vaccine.
Critics say these researchers risk creating a monster germ that could escape the lab and seed a pandemic.


australiannationalreview--2020-02-26--Globalists Look To Exploit Coronavirus In Push For Global Government

Once you understand the globalist mindset , almost everything they do becomes rather robotic and predictable .
It should not be surprising that the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , a branch of the United Nations , has been so aggressive in cheerleading for the Chinese government and its response to the coronavirus outbreak .
After all , China ’ s communist surveillance state model is a beta test for the type of centralization that the UN wants for the entire planet .
They certainly aren ’ t going to point out that it was China ’ s totalitarian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the very beginning .
Even now Xi Jinping is trying to rewrite history , claiming that he had been swift in responding to the crisis more than a month before he actually did .
The lie that the coronavirus mutated naturally in a food and animal market in Wuhan continues to be peddled by the mainstream media even though no evidence supporting this claim exists .
And China is still releasing rigged death and infection numbers while they have over 600 million people under martial law lockdown and their crematoriums continue pumping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hours a day 7 days a week .
Brave health workers like Li Wenliang , who was punished by the government for warning about the virus in December , have died in the process of trying to fight against the centralized behemoth just to get vital information to the world , but that never happened , right ?
It was actually president Xi and the CPC that saved the day .
The WHO and the CPC say so .
You ’ ll never hear the UN praise the efforts of Li Wenliang ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the memory hole as much as the Chinese government does .
The developing narrative is a familiar one – Local officials “ stifled ” the response to the outbreak while the centralized national leadership put things back on track with extreme control measures that have turned the Hubei province into a veritable internment camp .
Whatever you do , don ’ t point out that it was the national government ’ s habit of imprisoning health officials that release “ false information ” that led to the delayed reaction on the coronavirus .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ground zero for the outbreak is just down the road from the largest Level 4 Biohazard Lab in Asia , because that would make you a “ conspiracy theorist ” .
The message being pounded into the public consciousness is clear : “ Shut up and accept that Centralization works ” .
Even when it fails miserably , it is still the answer to all our problems .
All we have to do is “ adjust ” the historical record a little bit every time the system breaks and then institute even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words , if the interdependent and draconian top-down structure of the globalist state leads to crisis , then it is because it was not centralized ENOUGH .
Centralization always begets more centralization .
The financial fascist system of central banking and corporate oligarchy leads to the socialist welfare state , and the socialist welfare state leads to the surveillance state , the surveillance state leads to the martial law state , and the martial law state leads to full-on global governance ; an endless elitist empire .
The failings of centralization have caused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a potential pandemic .
The pandemic simply clarifies the issue .
For example , the breakdown in the global supply chain is becoming a bigger threat by the day .
The Baltic Dry Index a measure of shipping rates as well as global demand for goods , has essentially collapsed .
This should have been the first warning sign that the supply chain was in trouble , but the mainstream doesn ’ t pay attention to the fundamentals , only stock markets .
Enter Apple , one of the largest companies in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ projections for 2020 and finally admitted that the shutdown of Chinese factories may just be a problem .
Some mentally challenged people out there are scoffing sarcastically at this issue , saying “ Oh no , whatever will we do without iPhones… ?
” .
They don ’ t grasp the wider implications .
If Apple ’ s production is going down because of the supply chain disruption then this is a signal that multiple companies and most of the economy are also going down because of supply chain disruptions .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s about the bigger picture .
Globalism has led to interdependent economies and nation states that no longer have redundancies in production .
We have been forced to rely on production centers on the other side of the world for a vast majority of our goods .
When China shuts down , the US economy loses almost 20 % of its supply chain .
When Japan , Singapore , Taiwan , Hong Kong and Vietnam shut down from the virus , you can add another 10 % to 15 % on top of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around 70 % of GDP .
Cut off the supply chain in Asia and retailers lose a vast array of goods to sell .
The US economy eventually shuts down also , even if the virus never spreads here .
Some people will argue that we don ’ t need all the “ cheap plastic crap ” from Asia anyway , and this situation is a “ good thing ” .
Sorry to break it to you , but America ’ s economy is built on the selling of cheap plastic crap ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dollar as the world reserve currency ) .
Walmart ( Chinamart if you discount agricultural products ) is the largest employer in the US and the world , after all .
Right or wrong , our economic system is so globalized that the fall of the Chinese dominoes will eventually knock down our own dominoes .
But when this disaster occurs and numerous national economies suffer from enforced globalist integration , guess what will happen next ?
The globalists will ride to our “ rescue ” with even greater centralization .
This was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the liberty movement are now aware of the Event 201 simulation , a war game run by globalists in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum on a “ theoretical ” coronavirus pandemic that kills 65 million people .
This simulation took place only a couple of months before the real thing exploded in China in December .
But hey , maybe that ’ s all just amazing coincidence .
What concerns me even more is the solution that was presented at the end of Event 201 – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ body that would manage the international response to the outbreak .
Isn ’ t it amazing how every major catastrophe caused by globalism seems to lead to more globalism ?
One might start to wonder if some of these events were triggered by incompetence , or if they were deliberately engineered .
At the very least , crisis events have been allowed to fester unchecked by organizations like the WHO as they continue to write off the coronavirus as a non-issue that is “ well under control ” by a Chinese government that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place .
So here is what is going to happen next : Best case scenario is that the Western world is mostly unscathed by the virus itself but the economic supply chain suffers major setbacks .
The global economy , which was already crashing over the past year due to historic levels of corporate and consumer debt , not to mention faltering exports and freight , is finally tipped over the edge .
The massive Everything Bubble , fueled by a decade of inflationary central bank stimulus , implodes .
Governments respond with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protecting the public ” .
Globalist institutions like the IMF step in and suggest that frail national monetary systems come under the management of their Special Drawing Rights basket in order to mitigate the debt crisis .
Essentially , this is the first step to global governance .
Worst case scenario , the virus spreads throughout the US and Europe and governments respond the same way China ’ s government has ; martial law and full-blown concentration camp culture .
This would lead to civil war in the US because we are armed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to put us into quarantine camps .
Europe is mostly screwed .
The establishment then suggests that paper money be removed from the system because it is a viral spreader .
China is already pushing this solution now .
Magically , we find ourselves in a cashless society in a matter of a year or two ; which is what the globalists have been demanding for years .
Everything goes digital , and thus even local economies become completely centralized as private trade dies .
Again , this might be an engineered event @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the globalists are exploiting a natural outbreak .
Either way , they are not going to let a good crisis go to waste .
Whether or not they succeed is dependent on several factors , but mostly , its dependent on us .
How many people will buy into the notion that centralization is the answer to out problems ?
How many people will realize that centralization is the CAUSE of all our problems ?
And how many people will fight to prevent ultimate centralization under a psychopathic globalist cult ?
A viral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all , but an even greater threat is the supposed cure .
Trading our economic and social freedom in the name of stopping the coronavirus ?
No matter how deadly the bug , it ’ s just not worth it .

Once you understand the globalist mindset, almost everything they do becomes rather robotic and predictable. It should not be surprising that the World Health Organization (WHO), a branch of the United Nations, has been so aggressive in cheerleading for the Chinese government and its response to the coronavirus outbreak.
After all, China’s communist surveillance state model is a beta test for the type of centralization that the UN wants for the entire planet. They certainly aren’t going to point out that it was China’s totalitarian system that allowed the outbreak to spread from the very beginning.

And China is still releasing rigged death and infection numbers while they have over 600 million people under martial law lockdown and their crematoriums continue pumping out the fumes of the dead 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Brave health workers like Li Wenliang, who was punished by the government for warning about the virus in December, have died in the process of trying to fight against the centralized behemoth just to get vital information to the world, but that never happened, right?
It was actually president Xi and the CPC that saved the day. The WHO and the CPC say so. You’ll never hear the UN praise the efforts of Li Wenliang; they want his name to disappear down the memory hole as much as the Chinese government does.
The developing narrative is a familiar one – Local officials “stifled” the response to the outbreak while the centralized national leadership put things back on track with extreme control measures that have turned the Hubei province into a veritable internment camp.
Whatever you do, don’t point out that it was the national government’s habit of imprisoning health officials that release “false information” that led to the delayed reaction on the coronavirus.
Also, don’t point out that ground zero for the outbreak is just down the road from the largest Level 4 Biohazard Lab in Asia, because that would make you a “conspiracy theorist”.
The message being pounded into the public consciousness is clear: “Shut up and accept that Centralization works”. Even when it fails miserably, it is still the answer to all our problems. All we have to do is “adjust” the historical record a little bit every time the system breaks and then institute even MORE centralization in response.
In other words, if the interdependent and draconian top-down structure of the globalist state leads to crisis, then it is because it was not centralized ENOUGH. Centralization always begets more centralization.
The financial fascist system of central banking and corporate oligarchy leads to the socialist welfare state, and the socialist welfare state leads to the surveillance state, the surveillance state leads to the martial law state, and the martial law state leads to full-on global governance; an endless elitist empire.

Globalism has led to interdependent economies and nation states that no longer have redundancies in production. We have been forced to rely on production centers on the other side of the world for a vast majority of our goods.
When China shuts down, the US economy loses almost 20% of its supply chain. When Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam shut down from the virus, you can add another 10% to 15% on top of that. Retailers in the US represent around 70% of GDP.

But when this disaster occurs and numerous national economies suffer from enforced globalist integration, guess what will happen next? The globalists will ride to our “rescue” with even greater centralization. This was their agenda all along.
Many people in the liberty movement are now aware of the Event 201 simulation, a war game run by globalists in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum on a “theoretical” coronavirus pandemic that kills 65 million people.
This simulation took place only a couple of months before the real thing exploded in China in December. But hey, maybe that’s all just amazing coincidence.

Isn’t it amazing how every major catastrophe caused by globalism seems to lead to more globalism? One might start to wonder if some of these events were triggered by incompetence, or if they were deliberately engineered.
At the very least, crisis events have been allowed to fester unchecked by organizations like the WHO as they continue to write off the coronavirus as a non-issue that is “well under control” by a Chinese government that caused it to spread in the first place.
So here is what is going to happen next:
Best case scenario is that the Western world is mostly unscathed by the virus itself but the economic supply chain suffers major setbacks. The global economy, which was already crashing over the past year due to historic levels of corporate and consumer debt, not to mention faltering exports and freight, is finally tipped over the edge.
The massive Everything Bubble, fueled by a decade of inflationary central bank stimulus, implodes. Governments respond with totalitarian measures in the name of “protecting the public”.
Globalist institutions like the IMF step in and suggest that frail national monetary systems come under the management of their Special Drawing Rights basket in order to mitigate the debt crisis. Essentially, this is the first step to global governance.
Worst case scenario, the virus spreads throughout the US and Europe and governments respond the same way China’s government has; martial law and full-blown concentration camp culture. This would lead to civil war in the US because we are armed and many people will shoot anyone trying to put us into quarantine camps. Europe is mostly screwed.
The establishment then suggests that paper money be removed from the system because it is a viral spreader. China is already pushing this solution now. Magically, we find ourselves in a cashless society in a matter of a year or two; which is what the globalists have been demanding for years.

Again, this might be an engineered event, or it might simply be that the globalists are exploiting a natural outbreak. Either way, they are not going to let a good crisis go to waste. Whether or not they succeed is dependent on several factors, but mostly, its dependent on us.
How many people will buy into the notion that centralization is the answer to out problems? How many people will realize that centralization is the CAUSE of all our problems? And how many people will fight to prevent ultimate centralization under a psychopathic globalist cult?
A viral outbreak is a significant danger to us all, but an even greater threat is the supposed cure. Trading our economic and social freedom in the name of stopping the coronavirus? No matter how deadly the bug, it’s just not worth it.

In the wake of record-setting protests that smothered proposed bills to end religious exemptions for vaccinations in New Jersey, a host of new, state bills have been introduced in statehouses. These new Bills promise to remove any personal or familial barriers between pharmaceutical products and the nation’s children in 2020.
This increasingly manic, desperate push to erase parental rights, religious rights, personal consent, and even in some cases, free speech comes at the point of a liability-free needle.
This kind of un-American legislation has triggered a groundswell of support among legislators, stirring those with integrity, awareness, and parental instinct to side with ‘The People’ in what’s increasingly transforming in a ‘vaccine culture war.’
One of the standouts on this front has been critical-thinking New Jersey Assemblyman Jamel Holley. During the January protests, Holley joined the relentless rally at the State House and emerged as a strong advocate and leader against New Jersey’s legislation.
Appearing recently on The HighWire, Holley told host Del Bigtree:
“I have been in the state capital for 20 years and never before in my life have I seen so many people advocate on one issue.”
One thing about government legislation as it becomes more authoritarian: The public begins to clearly see the direction things are headed and who’s directing it. Increasing numbers of legislative representatives are now listening to their constituents and taking decisive action.
Holley echoed many parents in America:
“When you talk about religious freedom and people’s opportunity to protect themselves and their body…the government is really overreaching.”
Speaking specifically about what happened in New Jersey, Holley added:
“This needs to happen across the entire country where these legislatures are proposing these bills. Parents need to continue to rise up. People need to continue to advocate against Big Pharma.”
Well, it appears the multi-pronged attack on American parents and communities—instigated and driven in-part by Big Pharma, heavily lobbied government officials, and low information legislatures—is being challenged with a slew of new bills in numerous states across the nation, which favor medical freedom.
Citizens Are Standing Up to Big Pharma, And Legislators Are Listening
A few politicians who’ve recognized the vaccine push have introduced countermeasures in the form of a ‘Parents Bill of Rights.’ In January, Colorado Representative Rod Pelton introduced HB20-1144 which aims to establish a parent’s bill of rights. This family-and-freedom-supporting bill puts parents in the driver’s seat to direct the upbringing, education, and health care of minor children – the new advertising target for Big Pharma’s injectable product lines sans parents.
Also filed in January: A bill by Florida Senator Kelli Stargel which cements the parent as primary decision maker for their child’s health decisions.The legislation includes language specifically exempting them from immunizations, if the parent so desires. Failure to comply would levy “administrative fines” on violating health care facilities, and “disciplinary actions” for individual health care practitioners.
Oklahoma Representative Tom Gann sponsored HB 3014, establishing parents’ rights on post-birth decisions [including hepatitis B vaccination], in addition to parental consent for surgical procedures, physical examinations, drug prescriptions, and vaccines.
The State of North Dakota provided a legislative example, rooted in the idea that an individual owns their body, and parents are responsible for any direct health decisions regarding their kids.
Recently reporting on the proposed bill, media outlet Age of Autism writes:
“The bill repeals all vaccine mandates in the State. South Dakota would be the first U.S. state to have no vaccine mandates at all, joining other governments like the U.K., Japan and Canada, in uncoerced vaccine decision making. But the bill goes even further. It ends medical mandates altogether.”
Since the vaccine culture war is fought on multiple fronts, with propaganda a significant weapon in Big Pharma’s arsenal, increasing online censorship has seeped like a fungus into Americans’ lives. Big Tech social media platforms, using the catch-all term’ misinformation,’ are at war with reality.
Multiple techniques are employed to block the reach of, or completely censor, information that flies in the face of ignorant and insulting ‘safe and effective’ ‘science is settled’ talking points crafted by Big Pharma ad agencies to move the goalposts away from the inconvenient truth about their dangerous product lines.
Florida is attempting to counter this modern-day book burning of factual health information though Senate Bill 1266: the “Stop Social Media Censorship Act.”
The bill explains in its preamble that Florida has “an interest in helping its residents enjoy their free exercise of rights in certain semi-public forums commonly used for religious and political speech.” It takes an interesting angle of individual empowerment stating:
“…the owner or operator of a social media website who contracts with a social media website user in Florida will be subject to a private right of action by a user if the social media website purposely deletes or censors the user’s religious speech or political speech; or uses an algorithm to disfavor or censure the user’s religious speech or political speech.”
In an inversion of 2019’s Big Pharma friendly legislation, New Jersey is now attempting to establish itself as a national leader in laying the groundwork towards proper vaccine safety, with a proposed bill that seeks to establish a children’s vaccine adverse event reporting system. The current vaccine adverse events reporting system (VAERS), has repeatedly been shown by many to be severely limited, at best. In reality, VAERS is probably long broken.
New Jersey’s A400 would require a health care provider to report any adverse event experienced by a child “in the provider’s care or to whom the health care provider administered a vaccine(s), regardless of whether the vaccine(s) is deemed, in the professional opinion of the health care provider, to be the cause of the adverse event.” This mandatory tracking system would apply to children under 19 years of age.
New York is in the middle of a legislative war for the medical, religious, and parental rights of families. In an attempt to checkmate a California-like move on physicians practicing in the State, New York has a bill seeking to protect state physicians who write medical exemptions to vaccination.
According to the Medical Board of California, 2019 saw a record 104 complaints regarding its physicians improperly writing vaccine exemptions. 49 cases have been closed, while 55 still pending – up from one [Dr. Robert Sears] in 2015.
Hawaii is unique, as its forced/coerced vaccine legislation over the years has irrefutably crossed the line. Hawaii’s laws trample the sovereign rights of Indigenous Hawaiian People, which are guaranteed by the United States Government. They’re also protected by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In 2019 Hawaii Governor Ige signed changes to Hawaii Administrative rule HAR 11-157, mandating all ACIP-recommended vaccines and restricting medical exemptions. The State’s citizens are fighting back with HB 2459, which would add a conscientious and religious exemption for children and adults, while also broadening the criteria for a medical exemption.
Several states are attempting to enact vaccine consumer and informed consent protection acts. Colorado, Pennsylvania, Washington State, Iowa, and West Virginia would all work in their own ways to lessen discrimination against patients while strengthening patient’s rights – with some enacting monetary penalties and revocation of licensure for violations.
The United States has made headlines for the wrong reasons in the recent past, as the developed nation with one of the highest infant mortalities. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a leading cause of infant death in the U.S.
Two states are looking to reverse that trend through more in-depth investigations into vaccine-related sudden unexplained infant death syndrome (SUIDS) – a phenomenon that often goes overlooked and unreported.
In both New Hampshire and Iowa, SUID’s would require the medical examiner to adhere to rules and steps to document and investigate the role vaccine(s) may have played.
In New Hampshire’s case, if there had been a vaccine administration within 30 days, the medical examiner would be required to investigate potential vaccine-related adverse reactions thoroughly. The M.E. would be obligated to perform appropriate blood, organ, and tissue studies to identify potential vaccine-related components.
We aren’t even two months into 2020, and there is a battle raging on both sides of the so-called ‘settled’ vaccine debate. The future trajectory of vaccine legislation and its accompanying culture war is being decided right now, in real-time, history literally in the making.
If you have been on the sidelines waiting to act, now is the time to enter the arena and become part of the invigorating and animating contest of freedom.
It is one of the most exciting and engaging times to be an American as perhaps a new ‘Greatest Generation’ comes into its own. History is being written right here, right now. Don’t you want to be a part of it?


australiannationalreview--2020-02-25--The silent threat of the coronavirus: America’s dependence on Chinese pharmaceuticals

As the new coronavirus , called 2019-nCoV , spreads rapidly around the globe , the international community is scrambling to keep up .
Scientists rush to develop a vaccine , policymakers debate the most effective containment methods , and health care systems strain to accommodate the growing number of sick and dying .

As the new coronavirus, called 2019-nCoV, spreads rapidly around the globe, the international community is scrambling to keep up. Scientists rush to develop a vaccine, policymakers debate the most effective containment methods, and health care systems strain to accommodate the growing number of sick and dying. Though it may sound like a scene from the 2011 movie “Contagion,” it is actually an unfolding reality.
In the midst of all of this, a potential crisis simmers in the shadows: The global dependence on China for the production of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment.
Chinese dominance in the pharmaceutical market
We represent an interdisciplinary group of scientists and policymakers at the Scowcroft Institute’s Pandemic and Biosecurity Policy Program based at the Bush School of Government at Texas A&M University who have been holding annual summits addressing pandemic-related issues for the past five years. One of our goals is to promote dialog on potential risks related to pandemics and U.S. security, in this case the disruption of supply chains and availability of medical supplies and drugs.
Today, about 80% of pharmaceuticals sold in the U.S. are produced in China. This number, while concerning, hides an even greater problem: China is the largest and sometimes only global supplier for the active ingredient of some vital medications. The active ingredients for medicines that treat breast cancer and lung cancer and the antibiotic Vancomycin, which is a last resort antibiotic for some types of antimicrobial resistant infections, are made almost exclusively in China. Additionally, China controls such a large market portion of heparin, a blood thinner used in open-heart surgery, kidney dialysis and blood transfusions that the U.S. government was left with no choice but to continue buying from China even after a contamination scandal in 2007.
China is not only the dominant global supplier of pharmaceuticals, but it is also the largest supplier of medical devices in the U.S. These include things like MRI equipment, surgical gowns, and equipment that measures oxygen levels in the blood. Supplies of these essential products have not yet been severely disrupted by the coronavirus, but if China is no longer will or able to supply them to the U.S., thousands of Americans could die.
More concerning still are the limited options available to the U.S. and the rest of the globe to make up the shortfall. It could take years to develop the necessary infrastructure to reestablish U.S. manufacturing capacities and obtain Food and Drug Administration licensure to overcome the loss of the Chinese supply.
When a disease reaches epidemic levels, the first obligation for leaders in any country is to protect their own people. As this current crisis progresses, there may come a point when political leaders in China will face decisions on whether to prohibit the export of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and other vital medical components in order to treat or protect their own people. Such acts would be the logical outcome of an escalating situation. For the 2009 H1N1 pandemic response, for example, the U.S. was pushed to the back of the queue for vaccine deliveries even though we had existing contracts with a major vaccine manufacturer located in another country. Those vaccine deliveries were delayed.
Disruption of global pharmaceuticals?
While a total loss of active ingredient imports from China might seem far-fetched, we believe the increasing scale of the outbreak moves it closer to the realm of possibility.
About six weeks into international recognition of the epidemic in China, there are already shortages of vital personal protective equipment in both China and the U.S. UPS has transported more than 2 million masks and 11,000 gowns to Wuhan to help alleviate the shortage. But what happens when everyone runs out of protective equipment?
Wuhan is a significant player in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry, with multiple pharmaceutical companies located in the city. How many of these factories have closed as a result of the pandemic, and when will those that have closed open back up? Global supply chains could reach a crisis point if they are compromised because Hubei province, where Wuhan is located, is in quarantine and factories are shut down.
Additionally, Wuhan is the location of China’s first Biosafety Level (BSL) 4 laboratory, which was opened in 2017 to research SARS and other emerging diseases. It is the only lab in China that can safely handle the world’s most dangerous pathogens that pose a significant risk of transmission. Infection, death and quarantine in Wuhan and the surrounding Hubei province is restricting the ability of all types of commerce in the region. Meanwhile, the virus is already creating a significant supply chain imbalance within China. That means those medical supply companies will be under pressure to keep any products produced within the country for protection of their own health care workers, laboratory personnel and the general public.
The regulatory apparatus to insure that the Chinese manufactured pharmaceuticals being exported meet the highest standards of safety and quality control are weak or nonexistent, according to a congressional report last year. The pressure placed on supply chains by the outbreak could further exacerbate existing quality control challenges. In doing so, the virus has highlighted our reliance on China as a U.S. national security issue due to outsourcing our manufacturing capabilities and inability to ensure quality control.
As with all pandemics, the complexity of this outbreak demands international collaboration and transparency. At the same time, U.S. public health officials must acknowledge the country’s vulnerability due to our dependence on Chinese production of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. The U.S. must develop a response plan for the inevitable shortages in the near-term and take necessary actions to reclaim control of our medical supply chain. Continuing to overlook this long-known vulnerability will only lead to catastrophe.

A leading medical journal has launched a campaign to separate medicine from Big Pharma, linking industry influence to scandals affecting thousands of patients.
The British Medical Journal says doctors are being unduly influenced by industry-sponsored education events and industry-funded trials for major drugs.
“CANNOT BE TRUSTED”
Top medical journal, The BMJ, has launched an international initiative calling for a reduction in the commercial influence of Big Pharma in health care. They have brought together experts from eight nations in medicine, law and philosophy to propose fundamental cultural changes.
Modern health care trials can’t be trusted, the journal’s editor and a team of global healthcare leaders have written in a scathing editorial published on their website:
“The endemic financial entanglement with industry is distorting the production and use of healthcare evidence, causing harm to individuals and waste for health systems”, they write.
The team is calling for governments to start funding independent trials of new drugs and medical devices, rather than relying on industry-funded studies. Currently, sponsored research is more likely to find a favourable result compared to independent research, studies show.
They also want medical associations to discourage doctors from going to industry-funded events. These events, critics claim, are thinly disguised sales seminars.
Studies show doctors who attend industry-sponsored events are more likely to prescribe the company’s drugs over generic or alternative branded counterparts.
Assistant Professor Ray Moynihan, a Bond University researcher studying the link between money and medicine, and is one of the leaders of The BMJ’s campaign.-
“When we want to decide on a medicine or a surgery, a lot of the evidence we used to inform that decision is biased,” he says:
“It cannot be trusted. Because so much of that has been produced and funded by the manufacturers of those healthcare products”.
But doctors have hit back, questioning who will pay for education and medical research if the pharmaceutical industry is excluded.
INFLUENCE OF BIG PHARMA
An oligopoly of pharmaceutical giants continue to influence Australia society, promoting an agenda of consumption over healing, disinformation over discussion and manipulation over security.
The history of the relationship between physicians and pharmaceutical companies began in the early 1900s when the Carnegie Foundation contributed to the suppression of homeopathic practitioners.
Following the release of The BMJ’s report, the Australian Medical Association questioned how medical education and research would be funded without the pharmaceutical industry.
“Who is going to fund all this? Is the government going to fund it?” says Dr Chris Moy, chair of the association’s ethics and medico-legal committee:
“Money makes the world go round, in simple terms. Research will not happen unless there is funding. Medicine is always going to need pharma companies. We cannot be too brutal.”
Nurses, dietitians, pharmacists and other allied health workers are getting millions of dollars in payments from big pharmaceutical companies for their services.
From October 2014 to September 2015 alone, member companies of pharmaceutical trade association, Medicines Australia, disclosed payments of $89,658,566 to healthcare professionals, including millions in direct cash payments disguised as fees.

GETTING IT WRONG
Big Pharma’s footprint in Australia is undeniable, from national systems to monitor customer behaviour, bribery and corruption and the destruction of the natural medicines industry.
Drug companies in Australia had a turnover of approximately $22 billion in 2009-10, and it’s only been on the rise since then, developing new products for companies to market aggressively.
Big Pharma has a storied history of selling and promoting products known to do wilful damage to consumers and has regularly mislead customers on an international and domestic basis.
Dr Moynihan points to the example of medical giant Johnson & Johnson, which sold pelvic mesh to thousands of Australian women. It knew the mesh could cause serious harm consumers, but never properly warned women of the risks.
Other examples of ‘mistakes’ made by pharmaceutical giants in Australia include tainted Polio vaccines in the 1960s, Pfitzer, Lyrica and Thalidomide — all proven to have caused damage.
Cochrane Co-Chair Lisa Bero recently took to the airwaves to highlight how sponsored drug trial studies are more likely to reveal statistical results and conclusions that favour a sponsor’s product.
Driven by profit and power, the pharmaceutical industry has shown no regard for personal safety or legal regulations, as consumers continue to trust companies caught intentionally lying to the public and promoting products underpinned by non-objective science and deception.
Critics are calling for governments to pass legislation requiring the disclosure when medical reviewers are paid by the manufacturers.
In addition, attention must be brought to physicians and doctors that are attending industry-sponsored events and earning continuing ‘educational credits’.

Important Information : 1 ) In January 2020 Richard Di Natale resigned from his role as leader of the Greens Party and he is retiring from politics .
In 2013 Richard Di Natale presented false information about infectious disease control in Australia and defended industry-lobby group activists ( SAVN ) in the Australian Federal Parliament .

In September 2018 Peter McIntyre , ex-director of the Australian government ’ s vaccination policy , was brought into a case in the Family Court that was originally due to be heard on the 1 August 2018 .
He was engaged as a second expert witness for the father who wanted his children to be fully vaccinated according to the government ’ s program of vaccines ( 12+ vaccines ) .
Peter McIntyre was brought into this court case after the case was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawyer being sick ( on 1 August 2018 ) and the case was re-scheduled for the 12 December 2018 .
The day before Peter McIntyre submitted his affidavit to the court my expert witness affidavit that supported the mother ’ s decision not to vaccinate the children was leaked to the Australian media – the Sydney Morning Herald ( SMH ) ( 23 September 2018 ) .
This is a breach of the Family Law act and it is a federal crime punishable with up to one year in jail .
The media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Loussikian , who quoted directly from my affidavit , provided false and misleading information about my qualifications and my position on vaccines .
This article defamed my reputation and research .
In addition , it gave the false impression that my research on infectious disease control in Australia was not representative of the majority opinion on this topic .
This is not correct .
The research that I am presenting on infectious disease control in Australia is the majority view of the top public health officials of the 20th and 21st century .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peter McIntyre also promoted false and misleading information about my research in the SMH article , as he has done on many occasions since my PhD was completed in 2015 .

The decision for someone to breach the Family Law Act instead of ensuring that Peter McIntyre defends his government policy ( a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for 20+ years ) in the Australian courts , is significant .
To date I have not been informed who leaked my affidavit to the media because the Australian Federal Police would not investigate this breach of the Family Law Act – a federal crime .
A crime that impacts the health ( and death ) of every Australian because of the false and misleading health information that was provided in the SMH article .

Why weren ’ t these vaccine advisory boards required to provide the science for mandating vaccines ( this is different to recommending vaccines ) in legislation ?
To date there is no publicly available science @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in social services policies and when the concerned community requested this information with a Freedom of Information ( FOI ) request to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet ’ s office the request was denied .

Politicians are only able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not have definitive knowledge , and hence the public is required to be consulted on the reasons for the legislation before it is approved , to give their consent .
Four years after this legislation was implemented in Australia , the community is still being denied the evidence that was used to support mandating 12+ vaccines in social services policies , when most of these vaccines were not developed when infectious diseases were controlled .

2) My book describing in detail how Australians lost their health freedom will be published in February/March. Pre-orders can be made here and will receive a discount price. No payment is required until the book is in print.
Peter McIntyre’s (ex-director NCIRS) Involvement in a Family Court Matter:
In September 2018 Peter McIntyre, ex-director of the Australian government’s vaccination policy, was brought into a case in the Family Court that was originally due to be heard on the 1 August 2018. He was engaged as a second expert witness for the father who wanted his children to be fully vaccinated according to the government’s program of vaccines (12+ vaccines).
Peter McIntyre was brought into this court case after the case was postponed due to the father’s lawyer being sick (on 1 August 2018) and the case was re-scheduled for the 12 December 2018.
The day before Peter McIntyre submitted his affidavit to the court my expert witness affidavit that supported the mother’s decision not to vaccinate the children was leaked to the Australian media – the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) (23 September 2018). This is a breach of the Family Law act and it is a federal crime punishable with up to one year in jail.
The media article in the SMH written by Kylar Loussikian, who quoted directly from my affidavit, provided false and misleading information about my qualifications and my position on vaccines. This article defamed my reputation and research. In addition, it gave the false impression that my research on infectious disease control in Australia was not representative of the majority opinion on this topic. This is not correct.
The research that I am presenting on infectious disease control in Australia is the majority view of the top public health officials of the 20th and 21st century. [PhD thesis Chapter 2].
Peter McIntyre also promoted false and misleading information about my research in the SMH article, as he has done on many occasions since my PhD was completed in 2015. Here are the corrections to Peter McIntyre’s false information that he has been providing to the Australian community in his role as Director of Australia’s vaccine research and surveillance unit (NCIRS) from 2005-2017.
The decision for someone to breach the Family Law Act instead of ensuring that Peter McIntyre defends his government policy (a policy that he has been directly influencing for 20+ years) in the Australian courts, is significant. To date I have not been informed who leaked my affidavit to the media because the Australian Federal Police would not investigate this breach of the Family Law Act – a federal crime. A crime that impacts the health (and death) of every Australian because of the false and misleading health information that was provided in the SMH article.
Peter McIntyre has been collecting the science underpinning the government’s policies at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) since its establishment in 1997. Yet in 2015 Peter McIntyre’s NCIRS did not have to provide a submission showing the science that supports the mandatory use of 12+ vaccines to protect community health. Nor did the ATAGI vaccine advisory board that has recommended new vaccines directly to the Health Minister for 20 years.
Why weren’t these vaccine advisory boards required to provide the science for mandating vaccines (this is different to recommending vaccines) in legislation? To date there is no publicly available science that supports the mandating of 12-16 vaccines in social services policies and when the concerned community requested this information with a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet’s office the request was denied.
The concerned Australian community has simply been told that the mandating of 12+ vaccines for social services such as welfare benefits, childcare enrolment and employment was supported by advice provided by the Chief Medical Officer and it is not available to the public even under the Freedom of Information Act.
Politicians are only able to make value-judgments about vaccines, they do not have definitive knowledge, and hence the public is required to be consulted on the reasons for the legislation before it is approved, to give their consent. Four years after this legislation was implemented in Australia, the community is still being denied the evidence that was used to support mandating 12+ vaccines in social services policies, when most of these vaccines were not developed when infectious diseases were controlled.
So how is this social services legislation (that is not supported by any health law) for a legitimate public health purpose?
It is still not compulsory for all Australians to use any vaccine yet our children and some employees are being prevented from participating fully in society without using every vaccine that has been developed in recent times. This is a tragedy for our health, for the cohesion of society (due to the misinformation being spread as ‘education’) and for the federal health budget as the chronic illness increases in the population due to the increased use of vaccines.
The lack of transparency and accountability in Australia’s vaccination policies was revealed in Newsletter 244 (see the time-line of events) which shows how the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) that runs the biggest vaccine research and development program in Australia, had the potential to influence the expansion of Australia’s vaccination program from 2005 onwards and how the Murdoch owned media in Australia was able to promote the No Jab No Pay/Play policies with a simplistic jingle to influence politicians and public behaviour on this issue.
There is no justification for mandating any vaccine and it is time for all Australians to stand up and ensure that our human right to medical freedom is restored in this country – before more harm is done.

A leading medical journal is launching a global campaign to separate medicine from big pharma, linking industry influence to the pelvic mesh scandal that injured hundreds of women.
The BMJ says doctors are being unduly influenced by industry-sponsored education events and industry-funded trials for major drugs.
Those trials cannot be trusted, the journal’s editor and a team of global healthcare leaders write in a scathing editorial published on Wednesday.
The “endemic financial entanglement with industry is distorting the production and use of healthcare evidence, causing harm to individuals and waste for health systems”, they write.
They are calling for governments to start funding independent trials of new drugs and medical devices, rather than relying on industry-funded studies. Sponsored research is more likely to find a favourable result compared to independent research, studies show.

Whilst Vincent Iannelli, MD, claims that all vaccines that are used in the US are not made in China there is no transparent evidence that vaccines that we use in Australia are not being made in China or India.
Research on the safety and efficacy of vaccines is not subjected to the same approval process as that for other pharmaceutical drugs. This is because vaccines are classified as “biologics” and not pharmaceutical drugs but this does not explain why they are tested in a different way to other drugs.
Vaccines are not tested for safety using an inert placebo nor are they tested for effectiveness by demonstrating that the vaccines can prevent the disease in unvaccinated people (Medical Products Agency – Sweden 2007). Researchers use the surrogate of antibody titer to make this claim but this is a small part of a very complex immune response to pathogens.
The Swedish government has stated it will not enforce mandatory or coercive policies on the population because of the serious adverse health outcomes that are associated with vaccines and because it is against the Swedish constitution. Colombia and Turkey have also taken this position.

australiannationalreview--2020-04-16--Epidemiologist: Coronavirus could be ‘exterminated’ if lockdowns were lifted

‘ Going outdoors is what stops every respiratory disease ’ A veteran scholar of epidemiology has warned that the ongoing lockdowns throughout the United States and the rest of the world are almost certainly just prolonging the coronavirus outbreak rather than doing anything to truly mitigate it .
Knut Wittkowski , previously the longtime head of the Department of Biostatistics , Epidemiology , and Research Design at the Rockefeller University in New York City , said in an interview with the Press and the Public Project that the coronavirus could be “ exterminated ” if we permitted most people to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vulnerable parts of society until the danger had passed .
“ [ W ] hat people are trying to do is flatten the curve .
I don ’ t really know why .
But , what happens is if you flatten the curve , you also prolong , to widen it , and it takes more time .
And I don ’ t see a good reason for a respiratory disease to stay in the population longer than necessary , ” he said .
“ With all respiratory diseases , the only thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
About 80 % of the people need to have had contact with the virus , and the majority of them won ’ t even have recognized that they were infected , or they had very , very mild symptoms , especially if they are children .

Knut Wittkowski, previously the longtime head of the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design at the Rockefeller University in New York City, said in an interview with the Press and the Public Project that the coronavirus could be “exterminated” if we permitted most people to lead normal lives and sheltered the most vulnerable parts of society until the danger had passed.
“[W]hat people are trying to do is flatten the curve. I don’t really know why. But, what happens is if you flatten the curve, you also prolong, to widen it, and it takes more time. And I don’t see a good reason for a respiratory disease to stay in the population longer than necessary,” he said.

Wittkowski argued that the standard cycle of respiratory diseases is a two-week outbreak, including a peak, after which “it’s gone.” He pointed out that even in a regime of “social distancing,” the virus will still find ways to spread, just more slowly:

Birx says government is classifying all deaths of patients with coronavirus as ‘COVID-19’ deaths, regardless of cause

The federal government is classifying the deaths of patients infected with the coronavirus as COVID-19 deaths , regardless of any underlying health issues that could have contributed to the loss of someone ’ s life .
Dr. Deborah Birx , the response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force , said the federal government is continuing to count the suspected COVID-19 deaths , despite other nations doing the opposite .
“ There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition , and let ’ s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [ intensive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heart or kidney problem , ” she said during a Tuesday news briefing at the White House .
“ Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death .
“ The intent is … if someone dies with COVID-19 we are counting that , ” she added .
Asked whether the numbers could skew data the government is trying to collect , Birx said that would mostly apply more to rural areas where testing isn ’ t being implemented on a wide scale .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in New York City and New Jersey and places that have these large outbreaks and COVID-only hospitals .
… I can tell you they are testing , ” she said .
Dr. Michael Baden , a Fox News contributor , said it ’ s reasonable to include the death of someone infected with the virus , who also had other health issues , in the COVID-19 body count .
“ In the normal course , autopsies would then determine whether the person died of the effects of the COVID virus , whether the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hemorrhage for example that might be unrelated to it and what the relative significance of both the infection and the pre-existing disease is , ” Baden told Fox News .
However , the number of autopsies being performed could be low due to the danger of infection , he said .
“ Then you will include in those numbers some people who did have a pre-existing condition that would have caused death anyway , but that ’ s probably a small number , ” Baden said.Video The United States had 398,185 confirmed COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than 12,000 deaths , according to Johns Hopkins University .
President Trump spent Monday trying to assure Americans that the U.S. and health facilities are prepared for a possible surge in cases in the coming weeks .
“ Progress has been made before the surge , ” Trump said during the White House coronavirus briefing where he said hospitals will be stockpiled with much-needed equipment .
“ The next week , week and a half is when the big surge is going to come .

“In the normal course, autopsies would then determine whether the person died of the effects of the COVID virus, whether the person had a brain tumor or brain hemorrhage for example that might be unrelated to it and what the relative significance of both the infection and the pre-existing disease is,” Baden told Fox News.
