American independent journalist Alex Berenson, a vocal critic of the US government’s pandemic response, sued Twitter after the company kicked him off the site for describing Covid vaccines as an advance therapeutic with risky side effects. The complaint, which got its first preliminary hearing in a San Francisco federal court on 28 April, could be a test case for how Twitter will handle content moderation under the ownership of Elon Musk.Twitter tried to fend off a free-speech lawsuit on 28 April even as a federal judge asked if Elon Musk’s takeover might make the whole case moot.“Your company has been...

We need to talk about South Korea.Through 2020 and 2021, South Korea chased zero Covid with strict border controls, aggressive testing and tracing, and a vaccination campaign that reached nearly its entire adult population with mRNA (and some DNA) shots.The country didn’t quite get to zero. Infections and deaths rose slowly last year. But it came close enough that the usual highly credentialed public health experts held it up as a light among the nations. […]On Thursday, South Korea reported 600,000 new Covid infections - the equivalent of more than 4 million in the United States. In a single day.Covid...

A preprint in Cell finds vaccine-driven original antigenic sin is deeply powerful. Also: vaccine-generated spike protein circulates in the blood and vaccine mRNA persists for months in lymph nodes.mRNA from the Pfizer and Moderna shots can be found in lymph nodes for at least 60 days after injection.Free-floating spike proteins circulate at high levels in the blood after vaccination.Vaccinated people infected with variants of Sars-Cov-2 produce antibodies biased toward the original and now extinct variant - rather than the one that has actually infected them.Conspiracy theories from Dr. Kennedy-Mercola’s We Hate Vaxxxines Digest?No.Findings from a preprint in Cell, among the...

ransomnote: Alex Berensen featured a 'walkback' tweet from an MD that was so convoluted that some readers used the comments section to work out what the doctor was saying. I found the comments below the tweet novel - decoding participants settled on a somewhat profane term to apply to this kind of backside-covering doubletalk, and it's the first time I'd heard the Exalted One referred to as "Fauci the Fear Turkey". I'll put one or two comments deciphering what the doctor might have been saying, and leave the rest behind out of respect for the board owner's request for 'family...

guessing you know, the Trump county data [NOTE: these are figures David has repeatedly published showing more Covid deaths in counties that voted for Trump, which also tend to have lower vaccination rates] is completely confounded by age - Trump voters are older - and obesity - the Southern states that have the most Trump voters are more obese (and in the Southern counties that went hard for Trump, the DEMOCRATIC voters are more obese too, as they are likely African-Americans, and African-Americans unfortunately have notably higher rates of severe obesity). Meanwhile, in South Africa, which is all of 26%...

Alex Berenson1 hr ago445Wherein a CNN finds out that virus gonna virus and the vaccines don’t really work so good.Just wait until he hears that vaccinated people die of Covid too. He’s gonna be soooo mad!Also, Chris, the Tooth Fairy is not real. We’ll talk about Santy Claus later. That’s enough hard stuff for one day.

I’ll cut the Shakespeare and get to it: The Scots - like the Brits - are real good at vaccinating. 91 percent of people 16 and over in Scotland have received at least one dose. 84 percent two doses. They’re also real good at counting deaths in near-real-time. They just announced deaths for Week 37 (through Sept. 19). SOURCE: https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/news/2021/deaths-involving-covid-19-week-37-13-to-19-september-2021 The number of deaths from all causes registered in Scotland in this week was 1,257 - 249, or 25%, more than the five year average. Pete Whitehouse, Director of Statistical Services, said: “Deaths from all causes were 25% higher than...

Dr. Anthony Fauci has had himself a year (or two).As 2020 began, he was a senior federal bureaucrat best-known for helping defang the AIDS crisis. A week before, he had turned 79, well past the standard retirement age for government employees - though he controlled a multi-billion research budget and no one was publicly suggesting he step down. The novel coronavirus changed everything for him.[SNIP]To be clear, I’m not writing today about the substance of the choices we and Fauci face.Nor will I examine the evidence that weeks after Sars-Cov-2 emerged, Fauci appeared worried the virus had leaked from a...

From the beginning of the COVID pandemic, former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson has been focused on following the facts no matter where they lead. More often than not, the facts have led him in a different direction from those emanating from the World Health Organization or from Anthony Fauci. What's important to remember about Berenson, though, is that, while his conclusions may differ from those being pushed on the American people, he never deviates from the facts. That's why Twitter just kicked him off.Because Berenson's conclusions did not support mask mandates and lockdowns, the tech tyrants hate him....

Twitter has banned conservative author Alex Berenson due to violations of its COVID-19 misinformation rules, the social media giant confirmed on Sunday. “The account was permanently suspended for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation rules,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill. Berenson said in a Substack post on Saturday that he had been banned from Twitter. “This was the tweet that did it. Entirely accurate. I can’t wait to hear what a jury will make of this,” he said. “Meantime, guess you’ll be getting more Substacks.” In a now-deleted tweet, Berenson compared the vaccine to a...

Twitter has permanently suspended former New York Times journalist and author Alex Berenson, a critic of coronavirus lockdowns and mandates, from its platform. "The account you referenced has been permanently suspended for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation rules," a Twitter spokesperson told Fox News in response to an inquiry Saturday night. On his Substack page, Berenson subsequently posted a brief message, just over 152 characters, titled, "Goodbye Twitter." "This was the tweet that did it," he wrote, above a screenshot of his account before it was taken down. "Entirely accurate. I can’t wait to hear what a jury will...

1/ The UK has stunningly detailed and up-to-date mortality statistics. With a lag of under two weeks, it reports deaths by age and cause - and compares them to the expected number. The figures paint a troubling picture. In the last few weeks, excess deaths have turned positive… 2/ After months in which they were negative. We thought excess mortality would be negative for a year-plus after Covid ended - many people who die from Covid are near the end of life, so those deaths were being pulled forward. That was the spring pattern. Now it’s changed… 3/ And not...

[H/T Cathi, Jane Long]A very worrying trend in the UKSince the beginning of July, all-cause deaths have risen 12% over 2020 and 9% over the 2015-2019 average:59,877 (2021)53,435 (2020)54,716 (2015-19 average)And the gap is widening. For the newest available week (Aug. 13) it was 16% over 2020.— Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) August 25, 2021 This gap is not due to Covid deaths - though those are now also higher than last summer.Mortality is VERY seasonally predictable (see how close the 2015-19 average is to the 2020 figure).Something bad is going on.— Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) August 25, 2021Also from UK..... New concerning...

ransomnote: Please pray that God would bless and protect Alex Berenson for spreading the truth and share his work everywhere. [H/T Cathi, Grey_whiskers] Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson·1h 1/ Wow. New Israeli preprint shows natural immunity to #SARSCoV2 is FAR superior to the artificial kind - vaccinated people were 13x as likely to be infected and 27x to have symptomatic infections as a matched cohort that was previously infected. And this is with Delta dominant. Alex Berenson@AlexBerenson·2h 2/ The paper also shows that offering previously infected people one dose slightly reduced their infection risk (though not enough to outweigh side effects,...

[H/T Cathi] Alex Berenson on Twitter: Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson 1/ They will spin this as hard as possible, but it is awful news. Up to 15 Israelis who are a week out from the third dose have already died? 88 are very sick? Understand: A) The denominator here will be in person-DAYS - that’s how little time has passed since boosters started. 3:50 PM · Aug 22, 2021·Twitter for iPhone Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson·34m Replying to @AlexBerenson2/ The third dose produces a 20x-40x peak of antibodies compared to the second dose. And post-second-dose protection peaks at 90-95% for a few weeks....

On July Fourth, President Biden celebrated dramatic progress in the war on the coronavirus, with more than 150 million adults fully vaccinated and infections plunging 93 percent since Inauguration Day. “Together, we’re beating the virus,” Biden said at a party on the White House lawn. But at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference, attendees celebrated a different — essentially opposite — milestone: that Biden had missed his goal of vaccinating 70 percent of adults. “Clearly they were hoping — the government was hoping — that they could sort of sucker 90 percent of the population into getting vaccinated,” activist Alex...

Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson 1/ THIS IS NOT OKAY. @cdcgov just posted its myocarditis/pericarditis update. They are now admitting that post-second dose risk in people under 25 could be over 200x the background rate (and that’s not accounting for underreporting). But the real news is even worse...8:25 AM · Jun 23, 2021·Twitter for iPhone Alex Berenson@AlexBerenson·2h Replying to @AlexBerenson2/ Here’s stratification by year of patient. As you can see, the post-second dose cases double from age 25 to 21, then double again in the 16-18 range. The younger you are, the higher the risk. HOW CAN WE JUSTIFY GIVING THIS TO...

Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson continues to slay the corrupt, panic-mongering news media on a daily basis. On Sunday, he latched onto an absurd, hypocritical story in the Washington Post which pretends to lament the fact that an enormous number of ventilators mass-produced by U.S. companies during the media-induced panic of March through May ended up going unused and now are sitting in a federal stockpile. Watch as Berenson completely dismantles the Post and its despicable alarmism over ventilators during the past six months in 5 easy tweets. It is glorious: The ethics-devoid news media in this country...

I’m increasingly convinced that #SARSCoV2 is a creation of the media/technology complex. (NO - I do not mean it’s not real or was bioengineered.) What I mean is: aside from a couple of weeks in a handful of cities worldwide - including, sigh, the world’s media capital... The overall effects of this epidemic have essentially been impossible for the average person to see without a microscope. Hospitals are not overflowing. Bodies are not piling up in the streets. Most of us will never know anyone under 55 (65? 70?) who has died of #Covid. But instead many people feel like...
