Yesterday, the far-left Boston Globe ran an astonishing story headlined, “The case against Anthony Fauci.” To remove all doubt, the sub-headline explained, “On the fifth anniversary of the COVID outbreak, a new book examines where American science — and politics — went wrong.”

For a half-decade, we were mocked, gaslit, canceled, hounded, ostracized, and called every ridiculous name in the book by arrogant, birdbrained “science followers” who sneeringly ridiculed us for asking questions. Well, here we finally are. We were right. Conspiracy theory has gone mainstream.

But don’t hold your breath waiting for an apology. ...

The article described how then-NIH director Frances Collins orchestrated a “devastating takedown” of the Great Barrington Declaration, the open letter published by three gold-standard health experts arguing against broad lockdowns and advocating for “focused protection” of our most vulnerable citizens. “Banishing the Declaration from the realm of acceptable debate,” the Globe admitted, “was a pretty stunning betrayal of scientific and democratic ideals.”

The banishment of any inquiry into the Wuhan lab origin of the virus, the Globe allowed, “not only clouded judgment on public policy, it also did enormous damage to public trust.”

Now they tell us.

This Globe article wasn’t the first acknowledgement in corporate media of elite failure during the pandemic. But three things stood out. First, it was the harshest, least apologetic takedown to date. Second, it appeared in one of the pandemic era’s most enthusiastic “science” defenders, the Boston Globe. And third, it disgracefully did so without any acknowledgement of the Globe’s own role as gatekeeper, enforcer, and cheerleader of the approved lie.

In other words, they haven’t learned their lesson yet.

In its tangible form, the pandemic is over. As this article evidences, all those NPIs that the elites leaned into are now being incrementally discredited, “one by one,” as Charles Mackay might have said. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say they are being re-discredited.

But in another sense, the pandemic is not over. Trust in the institutions lies in ruin, where it belongs. The perpetrators of a historically destructive fraud have — so far — escaped punishment. While the media is starting to come around, the so-called experts — the architects of this disaster — are still clinging to their fictions, investing their ill-gotten pandemic proceeds, and hoping the public forgets before they’re ever held to account.

But we are not forgetting.

If “In Covid’s Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us” is any sign at all, it is a sign that the long overdue accounting is rising over the horizon, like the distant sails of a yet-to-be-identified ship. Justice may be slow, but it’s sailing toward us.

THIS IS TRUE…. listen to her voice…. She's telling the truth…. They were targeting the unvaxed…. Essentially murdering them…

People who DID NOT want a COVID-19 vaccination were reluctantly turning up in front of a vaccinating practitioner because the alternative was losing their job and participation in society

This was the ‘choice’ - get vaccinated or be penalised.

A two tier society was created of the ‘vaccinated’ and the ostracised ‘unvaccinated’ - it was a vaccination apartheid, enforced discrimination in Australia.

This was the situation that many people faced if they refused to ‘consent’ to COVID-19 vaccination in Australia, at the height of the ‘Covid’ debacle…

Again, please keep in mind the information above, and that vaccinating practitioners collaborated with this tyranny, as 72.9 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have reportedly been administered in Australia, as at February 2025.

The vaccinating practitioners knew that coercion and vaccine mandates were in place - why didn’t they refuse to collaborate with the violation of valid voluntary informed consent for vaccination?

How could the vaccinating practitioners obtain valid voluntary informed consent when vaccine mandates were in place?

The simple answer is…they couldn’t.

They shouldn’t have collaborated with the mandates.

And now here we are…there is NO VALID CONSENT for COVID-19 vaccination.

5 Years Ago Today, the National Security Council (NSC) Was Officially in Charge of COVID Policy

No discussion of COVID makes any sense without understanding this key fact and its global implications. ...

Just about a year ago, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met, and our soon-to-be confirmed NIH secretary, asked me to annotate the PanCAP-A to explain how a document that was supposed to reflect public health policy had been strangely mutated and altered to include, without explicitly stating so, the new, national security-based control structure for the pandemic response. Here is the document, with my notes on the first few key sections. ...

The Great 2025 Egg Price Fracas wasn’t the only narrative cracking up yesterday. The Wall Street Journal ran an astonishingly honest story headlined, “Retractions, Walkouts Plague Science Journals Eager to Churn Out Research.” It’s funny what a little cancelled USAID money can uncover.

Never forget that, during the pandemic, we were repeatedly hammered and hectored with the endless and unbelievably annoying refrain follow the science. The academic journals were so sacrosanct that they were above being questioned at all. We weren’t even supposed to read them for ourselves — don’t do your ‘own research,’ dummies! — but instead, just gullibly gobble up corporate media’s low-calorie interpretations of the science. We’ll tell you what it means.

Welp. Times have changed. The Journal reported that over the last ten years — i.e., spanning the pandemic — editors at over 40 journals have rage-quit in protest of “editorial differences” with publishers related to the poor quality of their published science. Indeed, exactly ten years ago in 2015, Richard Horton, then editor-in-chief of the blue-ribbon journal The Lancet, penned a striking critique of the scientific publishing industry. In a Lancet editorial, he prophetically wrote:

“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”

You would think a scathing critique of science like that from a top science journal’s top editor — half of published science might be false! a turn toward darkness! — would have swelled into a tsunami of brutal self-reflection and reform. But no. It hardly even splashed. Horton’s complaint sank right into corporate media’s putrid pond of conformity with nary a ripple.

Not even “peer review” — science’s so-called ‘gold standard’ — can be trusted anymore. Last year, 23 disgruntled scientists penned a public letter to Springer Publishing that said, “Some of the work that has been published is so seriously flawed that it is not credible that it underwent any meaningful form of peer review.”

In other words, we think you’re lying.

Peer review is an antiquated and obscure process that anonymizes the peer reviewers, hding them behind a Wizard of Oz-style blanket of privacy and implied elite disinterest. Consumers of academic pabulum must trust pure-hearted journal editors to remain free from influence and bias and ensure the sanctity of the peer review process. The argument over peer review is not just a rarified controversy among elites. As we saw during COVID-19, the most ridiculous conclusions can be lifted right from the pages of peer-reviewed papers and then institutionalized as public policy mandates, while we are told to shut up and never ask questions.

The science is settled, dummies!

The Journal’s article blamed big study money and too many papers, apparently advocating for even more gatekeeping by small groups of anointed, priestly elite editors. I disagree. The solution is more transparency. Crowdsourcing. As Justice Brandeis sagely observed in 1927, “the answer to bad speech is more speech, not enforced silence.” Publish all the papers, every one, then let other registered scientists add “peer” community notes under their own names, while also disclosing their income sources. Let the readers vote on the community notes. Then show those notes voted most helpful at the top, like Amazon reviews for combo hotdog and bun toasters.

It’s a simple, inexpensive solution that they will resist to the last Ukrainian.

11/17/2024

The consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine mechanisms of injury and death, coupled with autopsy confirmation by physician adjudication, suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death. Further urgent investigation is required for the purpose of clarifying our findings.

The House report on the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) covid propaganda is devastating.

The Biden administration spent nearly a billion dollars spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, boosters, and masks. If a pharmaceutical company had led such a campaign, it would have faced crippling fines.

HHS hired the Fors Marsh Group (FMG), a public relations firm, to lead a propaganda campaign aimed at boosting COVID-19 vaccine uptake.

The strategy was clear:

1. Exaggerate the risk of COVID-19 mortality.
2. Downplay the lack of solid evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine prevents transmission.

The campaign went beyond promoting vaccines—it exaggerated mask effectiveness, pushed for strict social distancing, and enforced school closures. When the messaging failed to align with reality, it shattered public trust in public health.

The PR firm FMG relied heavily on flawed “guidance” from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ignoring findings from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the vaccine's limitations, and dismissing international research that contradicted the CDC's preferred narrative. ...

During this time, the PR firm FMG ran ads warning parents that schools would shut down unless children wore masks, avoided friends, and got vaccinated. ...

In 2021, the PR firm, backing the Biden-Harris administration's vaccine mandates, falsely claimed that the vaccine prevented COVID transmission. When "breakthrough" infections surged, public trust in health officials crumbled.

Later, when the FDA approved the vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds, the PR firm pushed parents to vaccinate their kids, claiming schools could only reopen in fall 2021 if children were vaccinated. These ads conveniently ignored side effects like myocarditis.

HHS has wiped the propaganda ads from its webpages—and it's clear why. They're an embarrassment. The ads essentially told kids to treat their peers like biohazards unless they were vaccinated. ...

In September 2021, CDC Director Walensky took the rare step of overruling the agency’s own external experts, expanding the booster recommendation to all adults—not just the elderly. Her decision went well beyond the FDA's approval, which was limited to older adults, and was described as "highly unusual."

The PR campaign and the CDC consistently exaggerated the COVID-19 mortality risk for children, using fear to pressure parents into vaccinating their kids.

In August 2021, the military enforced a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, resulting in the discharge of 8,300 servicemembers. By 2023, the Department of Defense was actively encouraging them to re-enlist.

The Biden-Harris administration enforced vaccine mandates through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the military, despite knowing the CDC had evidence that the Delta variant could evade vaccine immunity. Their PR campaign deliberately kept Americans in the dark about the declining effectiveness of vaccines against new variants.

The propaganda campaign enlisted celebrities and influencers to "persuade" children to get the COVID vaccine. If a celebrity is paid to promote a faulty product, they should share the liability if that product ends up harming people.

Without any supporting evidence, the propaganda campaign ran ads claiming the vaccine would protect children from long COVID.

As public trust in the CDC has crumbled, parents are now questioning all of its guidance. Unsurprisingly, the HHS propaganda campaign has resulted in a drop in routine childhood vaccination rates.

And the report fails to advocate hangings, which are absolutely necessary to prevent a repeat, and because the creation of the virus and the mandates were the worst crimes against humanity ever.

Mass General Brigham Used Vaccine Mandates to Wipe Christian Beliefs from Their Workforce

In addition to claiming the right to have their individual cases heard, plaintiff Michelle has a new cause of action. She applied for employment again in 2023, two years after she was denied religious accommodations and terminated for not getting the Covid gene drug therapy inappropriately called a “vaccine.” MGB hired her again in 2023 as a staff nurse and approved her religious exemption request for the flu vaccine. She worked for 2.5 months and then HR learned she had not taken the Covid “vaccine” or that she was still in a lawsuit against MGB. Michelle then requested an exemption from the Covid “vaccine.” MGB denied her the exemption and fired her again.

"MGB hired her again in 2023 as a staff nurse and approved
her religious exemption request for the flu vaccine."

Patrick says

"MGB hired her again in 2023 as a staff nurse and approved

Why do we need a religious reason to refuse a vaccine that we don't trust?

This study makes it abundantly clear that vaccine mandates were a disgraceful violation of informed consent and bodily autonomy, discriminating against—and ultimately harming—those who chose not to comply.

According to a previous study, also conducted by Chaufan et al, employer vaccination mandates led to suicidal thoughts in 23.5% and depression/anxiety in 81.4% of healthcare workers...

True, but that bodily autonomy argument has been legally closed off to us by Pfizer.

It's very serious corruption, but still, at the moment I don't think you can win in court by saying you just don't trust the mRNA jabs, or any other injection that the state mandates, like all the profitable poisons they push into children as a requirement for attending school.

The real problem is the mass of sheeple who buy the Pfizer bullshit. They prevent laws protecting bodily autonomy from getting passed.

James Madison initially opposed the idea of creating a bill of rights, primarily for two reasons:

1. The Constitution did not grant the federal government the power to take away people’s rights. The federal government’s powers are “few and defined” (listed in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution). Any powers not listed in the Constitution reside with the states or the people themselves.

2. By creating a list of people’s rights, then anything not on the list was therefore not protected. Madison and the other Framers believed that we have natural rights and they are too numerous to list. So, writing a list would be counterproductive.

Perhaps the most important natural right is the right to bodily autonomy, including the refusal to reject any medical treatment without penalty.

Tanner Smith, 14, played football at Western Guilford High. In 2021, the school rounded up the football team for a surprise vaccination. Tanner protested and said he didn’t want one. Clinic nurses tried calling his mother, who didn’t answer, but ignored Tanner’s advice to ask his stepfather, who was waiting in the parking lot. Then, Chief Judge Newby wrote, “Ignoring additional protests from Smith himself, the workers forcibly injected him with the first dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine."

The Smiths sued the covid clinic and the school district. The trial court and the appellate court threw out their case, citing the PREP Act’s broad immunity. But last week, the state’s Supreme Court ruled that, while Tanner’s tort claims, like battery, might be federally immunized, his claims under the state constitution were not immune. His case continues. ...

This North Carolina decision is promising but limited. Obviously, having been forcibly injected, and having state constitutional protections, Tanner is in a small class of victims. So I might not have reported the story, but for the initial background paragraph in the Supreme Court’s opinion. Read this and be encouraged:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, "we may have experienced the greatest
intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country." Arizona U.
Mayorkas, 143 S. Ct. 1312, 1314 (2023) (statement of Gorsuch, J.). "Fear and the
desire for safety are powerful forces. They can lead to a clamor for action almost any
action- as long as someone does something to address a perceived threat." Id. at
1315. Government officials across the Nation "imposed lockdown orders forcing
people to remain in their homes. They shuttered businesses and schools, public and
private. They closed churches even as they allowed casinos and other favored
businesses to carry on." Id. at 1314. And in our State, medical workers affiliated with
a public school forcibly vaccinated a fourteen-year-old boy despite knowing they
lacked consent from both the child and his mother.

Patrick, I’ve been experiencing an inability to quote even, in this case (I just tried to to quote the last sentence of you’re post directly above), a small bit of any comment. It’s happening only on mobile device though. I always get a system message telling me the quote is too large.

From Patrick’s comment at 1025…

“ And in our State, medical workers affiliated with a public school forcibly vaccinated a fourteen-year-old boy despite knowing they
lacked consent from both the child and his mother.”

And why aren’t these people rotting in a prison cell?

Paging AG Pam Bondi.

Introduction: In Timeline to Covid Tyranny: Part One – Constructing the Biosecurity Empire (1999–2018), HFDF writer and researcher, Mike Bryant takes a deep dive into the events leading up to the covid-19 pandemic, arguing that it wasn’t just a sudden crisis but the result of years of planning by powerful entities. Covering key legislative, policy, and purported public health moments from 1999 to 2018, HFDF explores how two decades of measures helped set the stage for the global response to covid-19, uncovering that the pandemic response wasn’t just about public health—it was about expanding control and reshaping society in ways most people never saw coming. ...

On this fifth anniversary of his declaration, some might question the need to revisit the covid story. Why not just learn from the “mistakes” of that public health crisis and move on from the events of 2020?

The answer to that question stretches beyond the fact that to date there has been no accountability for the years of pain and suffering caused by globe-wide government measures and mandates imposed on many millions—even billions—of people. To suggest—or, in some cases, demand—that we move past this historical event, as if it never happened, is the ultimate gaslight and a form of pacification and control.

The processes that led to the covid tyranny have not been properly revealed for what they are. Indeed, they are still in motion. The notion that we are out of the woods is an illusion. All the administrative, legislative, and financial infrastructure built before and during the covid era is intact. Thus, emergency countermeasures could return with the flip of the switch. We could once again be forced to bear the brunt of draconian decrees and repressive measures mandated by public health authorities.

Yesterday, the New York Times hosted a deliciously ironic guest essay headlined, “America’s Most Powerful Law Firms Won’t Stand Up to Trump.” They are finally experiencing how we felt during the pandemic, when America’s most powerful law firms wouldn’t stand up to Biden. ...

I happen to agree with the Professor about her main thesis, which is that Big Law is too conflicted, and too reliant on lucrative government largesse, to effectively do its most important job in protecting the Constitution. ...

I’m just happy they are finally getting a taste of their own medicine. They swooned over Big Law while it stood by and let Biden issue mandates for destruction and despair— over the flu. Now, the Big Law problem is smacking them about the face like an unhinged mask fanatic. Welcome to our world.

💉 Even worse, the results showed that the IgG4 increase lasted for years after repeated mRNA doses. The elevated IgG4 (and IgG2) levels stabilized above normal baseline levels and stayed that way for the rest of the study period— nearly three years. The researchers saw no sign of those levels returning to pre-booster norms.

Although they never came out and said it, the data the team collected suggested this could be a long-lasting, possibly chronic immune shift. And it’s not a shift for the better.

This kind of class-switching effect is called “immune tolerance.” It’s typically seen in cases of chronic allergies, long-term parasitic infections, and rare auto-immune disorders. In other words, victims’ immune systems get trained to chill out even though the virus keeps crashing the party and hogging the DJ stand.

Defenders continue to argue the shots may not “work” per se, but they reduce your chance of serious illness per infection. That tortured argument misses the forest for the viral trees.

They claim the shots reduce severity of covid cases. But even if you believe that, if each shot makes people catch covid more often, their total cumulative risk of a severe case may actually go up. A -10% drop in severity risk is worse than meaningless if you’re getting infected three times as often.

💉 This study reinforces early “conspiracy theories” that successive waves of covid would get increasingly deadly to people who’ve had lots of shots. (See, e.g., Geert Vanden Bossche.) It hasn’t happened quite so quickly as theorized by the heterodox researchers, but this study’s results add to evidence of a slowly unfolding disaster version of the same dark prediction.

Finally, since it was out of the study’s scope, the researchers did not consider whether chronically elevated IgG4 levels could suppress immune responses to other things besides covid, like infections, cancer, parasites, or any number of foreign invaders. The problem though is that elevated IgG4 is immunologically anti-inflammatory. It’s like issuing a permanent, body-wide “stand down” order to your immune system—the opposite of staying on high alert.

Rather, it’s on low alert. Like Jeffrey Epstein’s guards snoozing during his mur, I mean suicide.

Here’s the nub: Jab-takers were sold a medical product under the false assurance of zero long-term risk— an assurance that was always biologically impossible to make. It was the complete collapse of informed consent. Public health authorities assured us there were no meaningful long-term risk— not because they had any data to prove that, but because they had no long-term data at all, the world’s most fraudulent blank check on an empty bank account.

The public health morons played the most dangerous shell game in human history, and we still don’t know the full scope. ...

Because if I’m right, we’re headed toward a reckoning. A point where the machine can no longer hide behind silence or slogans. Once every other option has been exhausted, they’ll finally need to admit what they did. And when that day comes, the only way they can recover even a shred of public trust will be to name names, admit fault, and hold people accountable.

Everything is lining up behind that being the most likely timeline. Folks, accountability day is coming.

You may or may not recall this particular bureaucratic insect, but until Friday Dr. Peter Marks was the Director for FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). CBER’s job is to regulate vaccines and gene therapies. As you can imagine, Marks has long been despised for his key role in approving and helping roll out the covid shots in particular (as well as other mRNA products).

Marks was one of the main architects of the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) process that enabled early approval of the jabs by lowering safety standards and axing long-term safety studies.

And Marks was the genius who expanded mRNA EUAs to children and infants. He rubber stamped the ‘bivalent’ vaccines, based only on a six-mouse study. He often criticized his own agency’s VAERS injury reporting system, calling it unreliable— even though it was his job to fix it. He was the creature who slow-walked the FDA’s public records response with jab data, and insisted responding would take 75 years.

But that’s nothing. The AP also reported that Dr. Mengele, sorry, I mean Marks, was the criminal who first came up with the name and concept for “Operation Warp Speed.”

In other words, Marks is another human cockroach. He is the FDA’s version of Anthony Fauci, except with even less charisma and more red tape. ...

What do you want to bet Dr. Marks reappears on Pfizer’s board of directors?
