FDA is not a physician. It has authority to inform, announce, and apprise — but not to endorse, denounce, or advise. Appeals Court.. An appeals court has ruled that the FDA overstepped its authority in telling the public not to use ivermectin to treat Covid. The lawsuit was filed by Dr. Mary Tally Bowden and two others. Dr. Bowden says ivermectin is safe and effective to treat Covid, and, like many doctors, prescribed it to patients. But the FDA controversialized the medicine in infamous tweets that referred to the veterinary form of ivermectin. One tweet read, "You are not a...

The following is an excerpt from The Vaccine Reaction. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has refused a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to release the autopsy results of people whose deaths were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) after receiving a Covid-19 shot. The FOIA request was submitted by The Epoch Times newspaper. “VAERS is a centralized vaccine reaction reporting system that was among the safety provisions secured by parents of DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) vaccine injured children in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986,” explains Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of...

As of Sept. 27, 2021 there were 569,294 adverse event reports associated with COVID-19 vaccination in the U.S., according to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). ==================================================================================== VIDEO AT LINK...................... The most common disorders reported after COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. include temperature-related issues (226,457), skin problems (174,793), and a category that includes movement, muscle, nerve, neuropathy, numbness, and paralysis (164,200). That's according to an original analysis of the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Next in line are non-specified pain-related issues (139,395), feeling abnormal, tired or weak (139,395), injection site reactions (121,538), headaches (111,549), heart events...

Dr. Simone Gold, who enjoyed a reputation as an esteemed and respected medical doctor before being targeted by the government and pharmaceutical interests, has reported to jail to serve a 60 day term of imprisonment. It is believed to be the first time that a medical doctor targeted by the federal government amid the Covid controversy has been sent to jail. Gold also has a law degree. Experts say it's extremely unusual, if not unprecedented, for a "first time offender" to be sentenced to jail for "misdemeanor trespassing." At the same time, critics note that across the US, violent and...

Scientists say Omicron appears to have a clear lab origin Future lab releases of Covid-19 variants are “likely” When Omicron emerged, many scientists were bowled over by the lightning speed with which it spread. Although public health officials had warned that the original Covid-19 was highly contagious and fast-moving— it looked like it was standing still next to the Omicron variant. Watch video at link: Link Now, some scientists examining the virus have concluded “vast” genetic mutations that likely occurred in a lab setting are what makes Omicron spread so quickly. Omicron was first detected in Botswana, South Africa, reported...

[H/T Jayster ]ransomnote: I found this video interview wide-ranging, informative and quite enjoyable to watch. In my opinion, Attkisson contributes comprehensive and detailed insights in an accessible manner not found elsewhere. The video is one hour in duration and worth every minute.Rumble — “Virtually every piece of information that can be co-opted has been, whether it’s Wikipedia online, fact-checkers, the news,” says five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information they want us to have.”Attkisson is the host of Full Measure and author of “Slanted:...

The following is a news analysis and commentary. By now, most people are familiar with the corporate and political interests that have taken hold of information through self-proclaimed "fact checks," and the one-sided censorship policies of Big Tech, often resulting in suppression of accurate information and promotion of false information. Finally, a medical authority is considering suing over the potentially dangerous practices. The case at hand involves the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and an impressive investigative article by journalist Paul Thacker, published last November. The article was entitled, "Revelations of poor practices at a contract research company helping to carry...

Five-time Emmy award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson said she has seen an increased effort to manipulate the public to appreciate censorship and disapprove of journalism. One of the strategies that has been employed is the use of third-party fact-checkers, she said.“Nearly every mode of information has been co-opted, if it can be co-opted by some group, [and] fact-checkers are no different,” Attkisson told EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders.”“Either they’ve been co-opted, in many instances, or created for the purpose of distributing narratives and propaganda,” said Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information...

Mostly Peaceful The rioting that happened on the Capitol grounds was conducted by a relative minority of the throngs of peaceful protesters present that day, and the violent attackers included not just right-wing Trump supporters, but also some left wing activists who joined the crowd, and an undetermined number of undercover federal officers. The media has generally treated the entire "date," and everyone who attended the Trump event in Washington D.C., as if it were some sort of criminal conspiracy from beginning to end. If we had a generally neutral media, the media would be careful not to lump the...

One thing that's come across loudly and clearly in the past year and a half is that supposed Covid "misinformation" is in the eye of the establishment beholder. Too often when establishment figures and media publish factually untrue information or make false statements, it's overlooked or "fact-checked" as accurate. But when off-narrative scientists and reporters publish factually correct information and studies, it is referred to as "debunked," or "disinformation." One prime example is CDC's repeat Covid disinformation

US Public Officials: Funded dangerous Gain of Function research with our adversary, China, using US taxpayer money, in order to create vaccines and other medicine Denied such funding had occurred Claimed the lab theory was debunked when it hadn’t been investigated Allowed China not to cooperate with the pandemic investigation; never imposed serious sanctions or repercussions for the non-cooperation Failed to disclose their own role in Gain of Function research while publicly “debunking” U.S. involvement in it Conspired to have public officials make statements and publish papers claiming the lab theory had been debunked, when it hadn’t been Encouraged the...

An excellent Ted talk by Sharyl Attkisson that was done 6 years ago explains how we got here and how you can tell when you are being manipulated.Six years ago, Sharyl Attkisson gave an excellent TED talk entitled “Astroturf and manipulation of media messages.”It explains precisely what is happening now including:why my reputation on Wikipedia went from hero to zero over a few days.how we are all being manipulated.But most of all, at the very end, it explains the subtle clues that we are being manipulated. A key lesson: Beware of those who question people who question authority. In short,...

More than half of voters say they worry about side effects from Covid-19 vaccines. More than half also say they don't think the federal government should have the power to force vaccination. That's according to a recent survey by Rasmussen Reports. According to the results, 54% of likely U.S. voters say they are concerned about Covid-19 vaccine side effects. Among them, 27% report being "very concerned." Another 44% say they are not concerned about vaccine side effects. That includes 19% who report they are "not at all" concerned."

Deborah Conrad is a physician assistant who worked at United Memorial Medical Center in New York for about 17 years. Physician assistant Deborah Conrad said on a podcast that when she saw a flood of COVID-19 vaccine adverse events in the ER where she worked, she was told not to report them to VAERS, the U.S. government’s official Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

Conrad appeared on The Sharyl Attkisson Podcast and shared her story of what she went through as...

The mask debacle was probably the first big mistake that confused people on a wide scale and created broad skepticism. The decision to advise people to isolate at home was another big mistake, according to many independent scientists. We now know that even CDC acknowledges most Covid is spread in the household. Instead of having people stay home and arresting those surfing by themselves at the beach, our public health officials should have encouraged people to get outdoors. Instead of closing parks and beaches, they should have advised people to go to them. Some scientists knew this on the front...

A recent study published by CDC contains concerning findings for the millions of Americans who are considered "immunocompromised," or who have a reduced ability to fight infection or other diseases. The study finds a majority (53%) of patients who were hospitalized with Covid-19-like illnesses were fully vaccinated with two-dose RNA shots. According to the study authors, several of whom receive support from vaccine makers, among 20,101 immunocompromised adults hospitalized with Covid-19, 10,564 were fully-vaccinated with Pfizer's or Moderna's shots. The actual number fully-vaccinated, immune-compromised adults in the hospital may be even higher: the study scientists excluded patients who'd gotten the...

Untold thousands of teachers, health care workers, first responders, airline workers and others have already resigned or been fired as a result vaccine mandates. Others are resisting in a public way. According to the New York Post, Chicago's police union has instructed members not to comply with mandates to fill out information on their vaccine status as part of a mandate or be put on unpaid leave. According to the New York Post: Chicago has the nation’s second-largest police department, consisting of about 13,000 cops, many of whom would not comply with the mandate, Catanzara [police union leader] threatened in...

Biden’s mask choices do seem sort of … weird. And convenient. And political. Sharyl Attkisson was good enough to do her ‘reporterly’ duties and point out Biden’s strange behavior with the mask: President Biden is wearing a mask outside. He walks up to press corps, takes down the mask, and talks to them. Please explain the purpose of the mask. 😶 — Sharyl Attkisson🕵️‍♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) October 2, 2021 She even said please. Of course, they won’t answer her because they don’t really know why the old guy does and doesn’t wear it. Like Brit Hume said: No one can, least...

Research shows the U.S. had reached what some scientists believed to be "herd immunity" status against Covid-19 last May, with more than 80% of the population immune to Covid either through natural infection or vaccination. And the actual number of immune Americans may be higher. That's because the new study, funded by the Centers or Disease Control (CDC), factored in only 20% of the population as being protected through natural infection after recovering from Covid-19. But over three months ago, CDC estimated the naturally-infected population to be substantially higher: more than 120 million or 36%. And after the spread of...
