“I was threatened, my life was threatened”

The former Center for Disease Control and Prevention director who was cast as a conspiracy theorist for saying the evidence supported the lab-leak explanation for COVID-19 – allegedly provoking death threats – claims that the real “conspiracy is Collins, Fauci, and the established scientific community.”

Robert Redfield told former Senate Finance Committee investigator Paul Thacker that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci “knew” he funded gain-of-function research that makes viruses more dangerous, and “misled Congress” when he denied it,” but “[n]othing’s going to happen as long as the Biden administration is here.”

“Tony and I are friends, but we don’t agree on this at all,” Redfield said in an interview published in Thacker’s Disinformation Chronicle newsletter.

“Everyone had to agree to the narrative” pushed by Fauci and then-National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a “wet market” in Wuhan, not the Fauci-funded Wuhan Institute of Virology miles away, to avoid becoming a public target of the two officials, he said.

The virologist Redfield told the immunologist Fauci from the “second or third week in January” 2020 that “I’m very concerned that he was championing this theory that it came from animals.”

The particulars of the novel coronavirus, such as the furin cleavage site and the “human” sequence in it, make clear that it’s not from bats, he said. “This thing was manipulated, orchestrated. That cleavage site was created.”

Transmission doesn’t make sense under natural evolution, according to Redfield. “You have a virus that is one of the most infectious viruses in the history of humanity, and yet that virus no longer can infect the bat? … No, this is highly abnormal.”

The Daily Sceptic- Denmark Bans Covid Vaccines for Under-50s But Doesn’t Properly Explain Why

Denmark has banned the use of COVID-19 vaccines for people under 50 years of age, explaining that the ban is because widespread immunity and low risk from Covid mean the benefits from vaccination are too low.

Minimal benefit is of course a good enough reason for not recommending vaccination. But it is not reason enough to ban it. No product is banned simply because it isn’t useful. Products are banned only because they’re considered harmful.

A political conundrum

Let Them Eat Taser 35 Comments

When a Canadian conservative politician advocates the end of senseless Covid border controls, he is denounced as “right-wing” and “anti-science”. Now that the left’s poster child for Covid lockdowns has adopted the same policies, what mental gymnastics can we expect to see from the Canadian left as they try to square that circle?

From Tuesday, mask-wearing will only be compulsory in healthcare settings, excepting mental health services. Also gone are the few remaining vaccine mandates, for workers and inbound travellers. Tests on arrival in New Zealand are no longer required but encouraged.

Eurometaux- Europe’s non-ferrous metals producers call for emergency EU action

50% of the EU’s aluminium and zinc capacity has already been forced offline due to the power crisis, as well as significant curtailments in silicon and ferroalloys production and further impacts felt across copper and nickel sectors. In the last month, several companies have had to announce indefinite closures and many more are on the brink ahead of a life-or-death winter for many operations. Producers face electricity and gas costs over ten times higher than last year, far exceeding the sales price for their products. We know from experience that once a plant is closed it very often becomes a permanent situation, as re-opening implies significant uncertainty and cost.

The Daily Sceptic- Ivermectin Cuts Covid Mortality by 92%, Major Study Finds – Why is it Still Not Approved?

Regular use of ivermectin led to a 100% reduction in hospitalisation rate, a 92% reduction in mortality rate and an 86% reduction in the risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection when compared to non-users, a major new study has found.

The study, published in the medical journal Cureus, analysed data from 223,128 people from the city of Itajaí in Brazil and is the largest study of its kind, giving its findings a high degree of certainty. Senior author Dr. Flavio A. Cadegiani wrote on Twitter: “An observational study with the size and level of analysis as ours is hardly achieved and infeasible to be conducted as a randomised clinical trial. Conclusions are hard to be refuted. Data is data, regardless of your beliefs.”

Crumbling narratives

Safe and Effective Wuhan Flu 14 Comments

For over two years we were admonished to listen to the experts. It’s only now that the leftist corporate media is starting to pick up on the fact that there is, in fact, widespread and growing disagreement among the “experts” regarding Covid. The infighting is getting worse as many of the experts are now furiously pedaling their bicycles in reverse.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the real standard was never evidence or science, but rather the narrative. In the case of Covid, it was all about promoting the most apocalyptic vision possible. Now that the apocalypse failed to arrive, the revolution is eating its children. Dr. Atwal had better grow eyes in the back of his head and soon.

“Before COVID … colds went around. Most people did well. Some people still ended up in hospital back then. That was a severe outcome,” he said at a Friday news conference.

“There’s such a focus on infection right now occurring, but it’s OK to get infected,” said Atwal. “You’re building your natural immunity, so that’s good.”
