By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

After my call for complete removal of COVID-19 vaccines from human use in the European Parliament, I made a final set of appearances in Stuttgart, Puschendorf, and then Nuremberg. I can’t help but wonder if calls for Nuremberg 2.0 after pandemic atrocities will ever come to fruition.

On December 9, 1946, an American military tribunal opened criminal proceedings against 23 German physicians and administrators for their participation in war crimes and crimes against humanity. This was Case #1 of the Subsequent Nuremberg Proceedings.

US Army Brigadier General Telford Taylor was Chief of Counsel for the Doctors Trial. In Taylor's opening statement for the prosecution:

"The defendants in this case are charged with murders, tortures, and other atrocities committed in the name of medical science. The victims of these crimes are numbered in the hundreds of thousands. A handful only are still alive; a few of the survivors will appear in this courtroom. But most of these miserable victims were slaughtered outright or died in the course of the tortures to which they were subjected. For the most part they are nameless dead. To their murderers, these wretched people were not individuals at all. They came in wholesale lots and were treated worse than animals."

In Nazi Germany, German physicians planned and enacted the Euthanasia Program, the systematic killing of those they deemed "unworthy of life." The victims included the institutionalized mentally ill and physically impaired. Further, during World War II, German physicians conducted pseudoscientific medical experiments utilizing thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent. Most died or were permanently impaired as a result. ...

After four months of proceedings, including the testimony of 85 witnesses and the submission of almost 1,500 documents, the American judges pronounced their verdict on August 20, 1947. Sixteen of the doctors were found guilty. Seven were sentenced to death. They were executed on June 2, 1948

Why is the German Health Ministry So Desperate to Keep the Details of its Covid Response Secret?

More details have emerged on the measures of Karl Lauterbach’s Health Ministry to conceal internal details of the pandemic response from the German public.

To recap: On September 1st, the second session of the Brandenburg Corona Committee compelled former RKI (public health institute) Chief Lothar Wieler to testify on Covid measures and the vaccines, as part of a broader inquiry into the response by the state parliament of Brandenburg. Only in Brandenburg did the AfD have enough votes to call such an investigative body into existence; establishment parties blocked similar efforts in all other German states. Wieler and a fellow apparatchik from the Paul Ehrlich Institute (medicines regulator) ended up arguing that they have yet to evaluate the vast majority of adverse event reports, because there are too many of them.

The story of Wieler’s testimony included bizarre details about the prior restrictions the Health Ministry had placed on what he could talk about, and the extraordinary lengths they went to enforce them:

Lothar Wieler was accompanied by an employee of the Federal Ministry of Health, a certain Heiko Rottmann-Großner. … He testified that his task was to ensure that Wieler was complying with his leave to testify. As a civil servant, Wieler requires authorisation to provide information on matters that are subject to official secrecy. The authorisation regulates in detail the topics on which a witness in the civil service may not provide information.

According to media reports, Wieler’s authorisation was multiple pages long… [Rottmann-Großner] repeatedly gave hand signals to Wieler during the questioning, and occasionally he also passed notes to him. Committee members complained of this practice, and ultimately compelled [Rottmann-Großner] to sit two chairs further away from Wieler.
The Health Ministry refuses to elaborate on what Wieler’s authorisation contained, but yesterday Nordkurier published additional details, and they are… very intriguing:

Lars Hünich (AfD) is a member of the Committee and was able to see [Wieler’s] testimonial authorisation. He told this newspaper: “It contained very strict conditions and a whole series of restrictions for Mr. Wieler. For example, he was forbidden to bring files with him. In addition, according to the document, he was only allowed to speak on matters that had to do with Brandenburg and fell within the investigative competence of the Brandenburg state parliament. The words “state investigative competence” were underlined and bolded.” (emphasis added, and below)
So far, these seem to be little more than blanket efforts to limit the utility of Wieler’s testimony. But then it gets stranger:

According to Hünich, another section of the authorisation dealt with the possible “violation of constitutional rights”. Hünich: “Here the word constitutional rights was bolded and underlined. As far as I can remember, it was about the constitutional rights of third parties that could possibly be harmed in the context of the hearing, regarding matters that exceeded the investigative committee’s mandate.
I submit that this is very, very odd. But the strangest bit is at the end:

Another point concerned information and remarks that were classified as secret. Hünich: “The word ‘secret’ was bolded and underlined.” Specifically, it was about information and facts that were classified as secret by the federal Government, among other things, “for the protection of the Federal Republic and to avert damage to the security of Germany or its international relations with foreign states”. These matters were to be discussed “only in non-public session under conditions of secrecy”. If an exchange on this should be “impossible under conditions of secrecy, he would not allowed to comment”, Hünich continues.

Moreover, if there were any doubts about the admissibility of statements according to the described restrictions, they were “not to be made”. Hünich: “He was further told that he would have to telephone the Ministry of Health about these matters, or perhaps contact the Federal Government to clarify them.”

I want to let this stand mostly without commentary, but I will add one point. In the meagre Covidian revelations we have so far seen in the Federal Republic, I can think of one other instance in which information was withheld to spare German relations with a foreign state. This was in the email releases surrounding the genesis of the so-called ‘panic paper’ in March 2020, which established the practical and theoretical groundwork for German lockdowns.

In the documents, repeated mentions of “China” (and probably also “Wuhan”) were consistently blacked out, with the justification that this was necessary “to avert negative consequences for international relations”.

Meanwhile, there are countless people whose lives have been changed for the worse since getting their COVID vaccine. There are turbo-cancers popping up all around us, and oncologists and pathologists such as Dr. Risch, Dr. Cole, and many others are sounding an alarm that something is wrong and something is different. Ed Dowd is rolling out data analysis after data analysis that paints a grim macro-picture, and all of the stories and statistics are made up of individuals who are hurting.

I was naive in 2021, but I would have bet a lot of money that by the time 2023/24 rolled around the mRNA COVID vaccines would have been relegated to the dustbin of history, with a major mea culpa surrounding the issue. I had no idea just how thick the wall of liability protection for the vaccine-obsessed truly is. Somehow, we’re heading into a fall season of yet ANOTHER insane media and CDC push toward a 6th (!) COVID-19 vaccine, with an emerging narrative of yearly vaccines taking root.

💉 The last holdout crumbled yesterday. In a fractious school board meeting, LA County’s Unified School District Board — the second largest school district in the country — voted to finally end the district’s jab mandate for teachers and staff.

The vote was nearly unanimous. One of the board’s paranoid hypochondriacs voted ‘no,’ one abstained, and one voted “reluctantly yes.” Hilariously, right after the vote, LAUSD’s frustrated maskaholic chairwoman emotionally screeched she regrets nothing and blamed … Florida. ...

Setting aside her wildly incorrect facts, and how hard it is to understand what she’s saying through her giant face mask, it was not immediately clear what Florida has to do with LA County’s school district. You’d think maybe she would have cited some statistics on how well their own mandate had worked or something.

According to reports, all unjabbed teachers forced into remote teaching will be reinstated to to the classroom, effective immediately. In related news, teachers who were fired commented they will continue with their lawsuit until they are reinstated with back pay.

Of course those teachers must be reinstated, and with double back pay, but more importantly, everyone on the board who voted to grossly violate the most basic human right to bodily autonomy must be hanged for their crimes.

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/09/26/top-u-s-government-vaccine-adviser-refuses-to-get-latest-covid-shot-as-he-warns-of-long-term-impact-of-myocarditis/

A top vaccine adviser to the U.S. Government has refused to get the latest Covid shot as he warns about the long term impact of myocarditis and other serious side-effects.

In a video posted on X (Twitter) by the ‘Chief Nerd’, Dr. Paul Offit – a member of the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccines committee – said he “didn’t get last year’s bivalent vaccine” and he’s “not getting this year’s vaccine” because he believes he is “protected”. ...

Dr. Offit has previously been a cheerleader, not only for the Covid vaccines but for the vaccine mandates that forced millions of Americans to get the shots or quit their careers.

Defending the first New York City vaccine mandate in summer 2021, he animatedly told CNN that “it is not your right as an American citizen to catch and transmit a potentially fatal infection”. ...

As Dr. Offit says, we’re going to find out about this vaccine over time. Dr. Offit has been complicit in inflicting this rushed, under-tested technology on America and the world. However, he is a rare example of someone in a key advisory position willing to change his tune publicly. Will others be inspired to follow him?

Not good enough. Offit must be tried and hanged for his crimes against humanity, especially because he has shown no remorse for his enthusiastic participation in mass murder.

If historical survival rates for myocarditis hold up, then about 50% of those who took the poke 'n croak will be dead after 5 years. That being said, we know that most of the jabs had little to no mRNA - I think it was a Danish study that showed about 8% of batches were "hot shots." So figure 8% of about 60% who got the jab, or for the US: 330 million times 60% times 8% times 50% = 7,920,000 dead after 5 years. I think we're on track for this.

stereotomy says

7,920,000 dead after 5 years. I think we're on track for this.

I think you're right, and I think the branch covidians will still deny that anything bad happened from the toxxine.

That's only 2.4% of the US population dead, so it's low enough that denial will still seem preferable to them than admitting that they were fooled.

That's been my contention for a while now. I still can't say with certainty that I know of anyone harmed by the jab. I "think" I know of someone but I am not 100% sure. And they are not in my close circle either. This is why it's the worst genocide ever. Seems like a whole lot of effort just to kill a small number of people (relatively small) worldwide. It must be part of a bigger plan.

I'm not sure the intent was really to kill a lot of people.

I think it was really a combination of a lot of bad factors:

- The DoD's wanting to try out biological warfare by creating a virus to get people to inject the mRNA.
- Pfizer's control over the government, and Pfizer's insatiable greed.
- The incredibly horrible PREP act, which exempts Pfizer from all liability no matter how many people die.
- The general sheep-like nature of the public.
- The mistake of giving unlimited authority to unelected bureaucrats in the CDC/FDA/NIH and local health agencies.

VERY URGENT: federal researchers find evidence Covid mRNA jabs cause seizures in young children

The safety signal appeared in a huge Food and Drug Administration database; did the Centers for Disease Control know before recommending Covid boosters for kids last month?

Young children had a significantly elevated risk of seizures and convulsions after receiving mRNA Covid jabs, Food and Drug Administration scientists have found.

The FDA researchers quietly released the finding, which comes from an analysis of insurance claims databases, earlier this week. The FDA and Centers for Disease Control did not meet a deadline on questions if CDC knew of the finding before it advised kids to receive more mRNA Covid boosters last month.

The FDA did not quantify the risk or severity of the seizures in the paper. But the published data suggest the risk appears to be about 1 in 2,500 completed vaccinations within a week of a shot.

Michelle Orfanos, RN: "I completely identify with the anger"
Jun. 15th, 2023 12:22 pm

https://rumble.com/v2ud9vg-michelle-orfanos-arlington-nurse-the-faces-of-vaccine-injury-ma.html

This is one of several short speeches for the event sponsored by Health Rights Massachusetts, May 18, 2023 at the Massachusetts State House.

MICHELLE ORFANOS: Hi. My name is Michelle Orfanos. Before I share my experience, I'd like to apologize. I'm sorry to all the vaccine injured and mandate injured. I've been a nurse for over 20 years and the cognitive dissonance that is happening throughout this is astounding and enraging to me. I completely identify with the anger.

There has been an abject failure of the medical establishment and the public health agencies to do what's right. These 3 letter agencies that I used to hold in high esteem and high regard have lost all credibility and confidence and rightfully so.

I've been told not to hope for accountability. It's the hope that kills you. Don't expect accountability. But after hearing your stories today, it's clear to me, that's exactly what we need. We need to hold them accountable.

[applause]

So I thank you for sharing those stories. I thank you for having the bravery to come and speak out and tell your truth. Because if there's ever a time in my lifetime that the truth is needed, it's today.

I was a nurse as Mass General Brigham* for 12 years. During the 8 years that it was required I applied and received a religious exemption to the flu shot. I worked through the entire pandemic. Not only did I keep the two jobs I had, I went to work at the Boston Covid Field Hospital. And it's still astounding and surreal to me that the health care workers that were critical and essential one day were disposable the next.

[applause]

In December 2021 my religious exemption to the covid vaccine was denied and I was fired.

I obtained my masters degree previously so I could teach nurses, so I could tell the next generation of nurses to advocate for their patients. So I was very happy and I loved it that a local college hired me at a local hospital to instruct the students. And this is still happening. Three weeks in, in February, I was asked about my covid status. I was then terminated from that job.

We need to speak out and that's why it's important that everybody come here. I was just thinking, what is this going to look like in a year or two from now? How big is this room going to be? How many children are going to be involved?

So I'd like to stop, and and the anger is not helping because I come here twice a week sometimes and I'm with Julie and I sit across from these representatives and senators and I talk about John's story** and I, I talk about the next speaker's story because it's important, and I look at them and I say, he was fired over a vaccine that doesn't stop infection nor transmission. He lost his pension! Blank stares.

So I would like to end on a positive note because what you're doing inspires other people. Speaking out is helpful. And I really thank you for that and I'm very grateful. And it was my pleasure to introduce one of the new friends that I've had, if any highlights from this pandemic met some amazing people and had some great friends.

Penn's Pandemic Power Play




This staggering number comes as a result of Penn’s patents on mRNA technology behind the covid vaccines. Despite this glaring conflict of interest, Penn still mandated these shots for its students and employees, with punishments for non-compliance ranging from registration holds to termination. ...

A liberal education does not merely seek to produce skilled workers and managers who will do what they’re told. It aims to cultivate well-rounded citizens who can think for themselves. This aim is echoed in Penn’s motto, "Leges sine Moribus vanae," or “laws without morals are useless.”

But the University vaccine mandates made thinking for oneself irrelevant.

The reason is simple. They replaced reasoned argument with a threat of force: Take the shot or lose your access to higher education, or your job. For those future “critical minds” interested in logic, the mandates were an instance of the known "ad baculum" (literally, “to the stick”) fallacy, which can be summarized as, “You should take the shot, because otherwise you’ll get kicked out.”

A prominent former Swiss banker has called for the arrest of corporate elites and unelected globalist bureaucrats over allegations of “democide.”

Top banker Pascal Najadi has joined forces with Dr. Astrid Stuckelberger, a seasoned health expert from Geneva, to demand criminal prosecutions of those behind Covid shots, which they describe as “bioweapons.” ...

Najadi specifically focuses on the World Economic Forum (WEF), which his late father, Hussain Najadi, reportedly co-founded along with Chairman Klaus Schwab.

Hussain Najadi was assassinated in 2013

Pascal Najadi is a retired Swiss business banker who wields significant influence around the world. ...

He urges the Swiss authorities to arrest those responsible for advocating a “global humanity injection by a bioweapon.”

Najabi argues that Big Pharma, Big Tech, Bill Gates, the WEF, the WHO, and other globalist entities are implicated in the scheme.

He notes that he and his mother are victims of the “bioweapons” and says they are both “dying” after receiving the injections.

“I call on the Swiss authorities and security to arrest those people immediately.

“Why? The WEF, WHO, GAVI, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Bill Gates all advocated a global humanity injection by a bioweapon injecting nanolipids into 5.7 billion people.

“And we Swiss are hosting them. That’s terrible. ...

“And all the vaccinated, the injected, knowing that they are poisoned… We are the masses.

“We are billions of people.

“Let’s just stand up and say Stop. We will not comply.”

Not sure what to think, given that this is coming from the son of a founder of the WEF.

White House Orchestrated Cover-Up of COVID Vaccine Heart Damage

FOIA emails obtained by DailyClout show the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention knew COVID-19 vaccines were linked to myocarditis and death, but doubled down on mandates.

The White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) knew in April 2021 that the Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was linked to heart damage on an unprecedented scale for a vaccine. But they hid that knowledge from the public while pushing vaccine mandates, according to emails obtained by DailyClout through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

The emails show the White House communications team struggling to craft a cover-up message on email chains that included Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to President Biden; CDC Director Rochelle Walensky; Dr. Janet Woodcock, then-acting commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and Dr. Francis Collins, then-director the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

💉 Social media phenom Russell Brand interviewed financial data analyst and jab skeptic Edward Dowd yesterday about the shots. In the clip below, Dowd opines that the manmade part of the disaster is “unmatched in the history of the world,” and it “won’t be talked about for the next ten years, but for the next 100 years.”

https://twitter.com/VigilantFox/status/1720155893860389298

Encouragingly, Dowd — like me — thinks we are making progress. He told Russell, “The good news is, word is getting out, booster uptake is down, and people are starting to spread it, despite the media clampdown on this issue, and the political clampdown, and the regulatory clampdown.”

Guess what? You and I are a critical part of this good news, since we are all helping get the word out. At some point soon, a point racing closer and closer, we’ll reach a tipping point where enough people realize what actually happened and then things will start happening.

And at that point, there will be a reckoning that, in Dowd’s words, will be “unmatched in the history of the world.”

I love it - "I was against the clot shot before anybody else."

Cereally, I'm glad at least some people are waking up from their mass psychosis (generally, based on Dowd's comments). Dowd has been awesome for years now.

My GP dreads meeting me for my annual check-ups, because I keep reminding of the clot shot push. When I get bloodwork about higher than normal cholesterol, I just say:

"Cholesterol is not the villain - after all, what is the brain made of? CHOLESTEROL. It's not cholesterol, but inflammation that causes heart disease. I'm limiting foods that cause inflammation, like seed oils, wheat gluten. Cholesterol concentration in the blood is a natural event. In the presence of inflammatory agents or infection, it becomes harmful. Why don't you tell your other patients about this?"

How to sell cholesterol lowering drugs? Make up a new study that will lead the medical community to lower the threshold so that you gain 30% more potential customers for LIPITOR

I remember when some doctor at Stanford concluded that a single baby aspirin per day was more effective at preventing heart attacks and strokes than all of the expensive cholesterol drugs.

The medical establishment hated him for that.

Patrick says

I remember when some doctor at Stanford concluded that a single baby aspirin per day was more effective at preventing heart attacks and strokes than all of the expensive cholesterol drugs.

Correct, because the baby aspirin deals with inflammation, which as mentioned by Stereotomy is a cause of heart attacks. The inflamed vessels get clogged with cholesterol.
