It is the name for perhaps the most powerful piece of spyware ever developed – certainly by a private company. Once it has wormed its way on to your phone, without you noticing, it can turn it into a 24-hour surveillance device. It can copy messages you send or receive, harvest your photos and record your calls. It might secretly film you through your phone’s camera, or activate the microphone to record your conversations. It can potentially pinpoint where you are, where you’ve been, and who you’ve met. Pegasus is the hacking software – or spyware – that is developed,...

After months of progress in the fight against Covid-19, cases are rising again as the highly contagious Delta variant spreads across the US. States with below-average vaccination rates have almost triple the rate of new Covid-19 cases compared to states with above-average vaccination rates, according to new data from Johns Hopkins University. As of Sunday, states with lower rates of vaccination reported an average of 6 new cases per 100,000 residents every day over the past week, according to Johns Hopkins. States with higher vaccination rates reported an average of 2.2 new cases per 100,000 residents each day over the...

The Health Ministry denied accusations that it had inflated the number of COVID-19 patients in serious condition, but also lowered its count of seriously ill by nearly a quarter on Thursday. Data published by the ministry late Thursday showed 37 patients hospitalized with serious COVID-19 infections, down from 46 patients it had reported Thursday morning. It was the first time the number of seriously ill patients has dropped since June 27, when it fell from 22 to 20. The numbers came hours after the ministry pushed back vociferously against reports by two media outlets that it had inflated the number...

State mask mandates did not help slow the spread of COVID-19, according to a news study by the Univesity of Louisville.The study, based on CDC data covering multiple seasons, pointed out that 80% of U.S. states mandated masks during the COVID-19 pandemic," Townhall reportedWhile "mandates induced greater mask compliance," the researchers said, the mandates and the use of masks "are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states.""Our findings do not support the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 transmission rates decrease with greater public mask use," the report said.Th researchers found that "masks may promote social cohesion as rallying symbols during...

What can I say? I enjoy being vindicated. And I would like to thank Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rachel Walensky for making me feel as if I am. Earlier this week, I wrote about a study that demonstrated that prepositions matter when discussing hospitalizations for COVID-19 among children. There is a difference between getting hospitalized with COVID-19 and getting hospitalized for COVID-19 in the hospitals studied. Reported data does not capture this crucial distinction, which likely applies to hospitalizations of children and adults nationwide, given the testing protocols and reimbursement incentives.I have been railing against the context-less reporting...

New policies will artificially deflate “breakthrough infections” in the vaccinated, while the old rules continue to inflate case numbers in the unvaccinated.The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) is altering its practices of data logging and testing for “Covid19” in order to make it seem the experimental gene-therapy “vaccines” are effective at preventing the alleged disease.They made no secret of this, announcing the policy changes on their website in late April/early May, (though naturally without admitting the fairly obvious motivation behind the change).The trick is in their reporting of what they call “breakthrough infections” – that is people who are...

New study says the infection fatality ratio of the “deadly virus” has fallen from 3.4% to 0.15%…that’s plummeting 95% in less than a year With every new study, with every new paper, the “deadly” pandemic gets less and less, well, deadly. The most recent data review, published in late March, puts the infection fatality ratio (IFR) at 0.15%. That is, once again, pretty much the same as a normal flu season. The new paper is the work of Dr John Ioannidis, whom you likely remember. He is an eminent epidemiologist and statistician who publicly urged the need for “good data”...

Whenever it seems like this country can’t possibly sink any lower, we always seem to find a way to top ourselves. According to a report that was just released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis in the United States reached the highest level ever recorded in 2019. Thanks to the popularity of Internet “dating apps”, there has been a boom in casual sex in recent years, and this has resulted in a tsunami of STD cases that is absolutely unprecedented in our history. Needless to say, this is not a sign of...

Dr. Anthony Fauci relayed the reality of “breakthrough” coronavirus infections — infections occurring in individuals who were vaccinated for the Chinese virus — on Monday, explaining it is seen with other vaccines as well, as none are “100 percent efficacious or effective.” “We see this with all vaccines, in clinical trials, in the real world,” Fauci said, explaining that “no vaccine is 100 percent efficacious, or effective.”

The Hong Kong government recently rolled out a large-scale vaccination plan against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as COVID-19, but it’s been mired by frequent reports of serious adverse reactions. In just one month, 13 people died in Hong Kong after being inoculated, 11 of whom had been injected with the Sinovac vaccine, a Chinese domestically made vaccine.The CCP has not reported a single case of serious side effects or death after it announced the administering of 100 million doses of the Sinovac vaccine in China on March 28.But there are four strange phenomena of the Chinese...

Israel's third wave of coronavirus infections saw 148,651 children between 0-16 diagnosed with the virus, compared to 69,599 children during the second wave, Israel Hayom reported. However, there was no rise in the number of hospitalizations. The report, which was based off Health Ministry data, also showed that 38% of children infected in the second wave were haredim, compared to one-third of children infected in the third wave. Overall, 44% of those infected in the second wave were children, compared to 52% of those infected during the third wave. In the first wave, just 2,620 children ages 0-16 were diagnosed...

It is spoken across our land in constant refrain, "We are just following the science." Unfortunately, there has been only selective reporting of the science related to COVID-19 that has led to unnecessary fear and hysteria. Major media outlets seem to pick the science that supports a narrative and ignores completely other important scientific findings. Some government health authorities seem to pick the science that supports their policies for masks, lockdowns, treatments, and testing and ignore other science that would lead to less onerous and destructive policies restricting our personal freedoms. Having a rational discussion of ALL the science would...

The number of new coronavirus cases is in steep decline, both in the U.S. and the UK. Here at home, the number of new reported cases per day is below 100,000 — down from almost three times that many early in the year. The daily number of new cases is about what it was in mid-to-late October, before the weather got cold. (All numbers cited are from Worldometer.)Unfortunately, the number of deaths per day attributed to the virus hasn’t declined as sharply. New deaths are averaging a little below 3,000, down from a peak of more than 4,000 in mid-January....

Over the last six weeks, new cases of infection of the coronavirus have dropped an astonishing 77 percent. Dr. Marty Makary, a professor at Johns Hopkins, wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal and observes: “If a medication slashed cases by 77%, we’d call it a miracle pill.”Has the number of infections really dropped by 77 percent in 6 weeks?According to the CDC COVID Data Tracker, there were 283,640 new cases on January 2, 2021. As of February 17, there were 69,165 cases. That represents a drop of 75.05 percent in six weeks — for all you fact-checkers out...

In the last few days - really since the BIden inauguration - we have seen declarations of victory over covid across the board, from the likes of Dr. Fauci who yesterday said that coronavirus infections may be about to hit a "plateau", to Wall Street, where Bank of America yesterday declared "The Beginning Of The End Of The COVID Crisis." Then, last week, we asked if it was "almost over" when the US saw a record one-day drop in covid hospitalizations.Today, we got further confirmation that the inauguration of Biden was magically just the event that was needed to put...

President-elect Joe Biden warned Americans Tuesday they would face a spike in coronavirus cases and deaths in the new year, thanks to Americans traveling and gathering during the holidays. “We have to anticipate that the infections over the holidays will produce soaring case counts in January and surging death tolls into February,” Biden warned in a speech in Delaware on Tuesday.

The city of Dalian in northeastern China is struggling to contain a local COVID-19 outbreak, as authorities announced that all residents would be required to take nucleic acid tests following the detection of more infections.Deputy Director of the Dalian Health Commission Zhao Lian on Dec. 22 also ordered all residents to stay within city borders. The travel ban was due to the ongoing outbreak, she said.Meanwhile, speculation surfaced on the internet that local schools had cluster outbreaks. In a statement, Dalian Ocean University, which has campuses across the city, stated in response that it ordered all teachers and staff to...

As many Americans recover from their “virtual Thanksgiving,” sharing prayers and turkey across the internet, the media is pushing their November propaganda narrative, that Dementia Joe really won the presidential election and COVID cases are once again surging across America. The Washington Post claims that Wuhan coronavirus cases are “skyrocketing” while the New York Times wails that “It has hit us with a vengeance.” Yet the media is oblivious, either ignorantly or deliberately, to the reality that positive tests are not the same thing as cases. A “case” has a very specific definition, apparently beyond the intellectual realm of Wolf...

Lockdowns are back on in Europe and are making a quick comeback in the US as well. Spain, the UK, Belgium, and France are back in full lockdown mode, although a multitude of restrictions on movement within each country remained in place even when full lockdowns were ended over the summer. In France, for instance, one now “need[s] a certificate to move around,” yet in spite of long maintaining some of the continent’s most stringent lockdown and social distancing measures, total deaths per million are rapidly accelerating, to the point that France is likely to soon join other countries with...
