World Health Organization European Advisory Group of Experts in Immunization former Vice President Professor <a href="https://www.emedevents.com/speaker-profile/christian-perronne">Christian Perronne</a> yesterday said that all vaccinated people must quarantine over the winter months or risk serious illness.

Perronne specializes in tropical pathologies and emerging infectious diseases. He was Chairman of the Specialized Committee on Communicable Diseases of the High Council of Public Health.

Confirming the rapidly deteriorating situation in Israel and the UK, the infectious disease expert stated: "Vaccinated people should be put in quarantine, and should be isolated from the society."

He went on to say: "Unvaccinated people are not dangerous; vaccinated people are dangerous for others. It's proven in Israel now - I'm in contact with many physicians in Israel - they're having big problems, severe cases in the hospitals are among vaccinated people, and in UK also, you have the larger vaccination program and also there are problems."

The current working group on the COVID-19 pandemic in France was reported to be "utterly panicked" on receipt of the news, fearing pandemonium if it follows the guidance of the experts.

Israeli doctor Kobi Haviv told Channel 13 News: “95% of seriously ill patients are vaccinated. Fully vaccinated people account for 85-90% of hospitalizations. We are opening more and more COVID branches. The effectiveness of vaccines is declining or disappearing."

Immunization expert: 'Unvaccinated people are not dangerous; vaccinated people are dangerous for others'

A Lancet <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3949410" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated</a> people in Sweden was conducted among 1.6 million individuals over nine months. It <a href="https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/swedish-study-shows-covid-vaccines" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">showed</a> that protection against symptomatic COVID-19 declined with time, such that by six months, some of the more vulnerable vaccinated groups were at greater risk than their unvaccinated peers.Doctors are calling this phenomena in the repeatedly vaccinated “immune erosion” or “acquired immune deficiency”, accounting for elevated incidence of myocarditis and other post-vaccine illnesses that either affect them more rapidly, resulting in death, or more slowly, resulting in chronic illness.COVID vaccines are not traditional vaccines. Rather, they cause cells to reproduce one portion of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the spike protein. The vaccines thus induce the body to create spike proteins. A person only creates antibodies against this one limited portion (the spike protein) of the virus. This has several downstream deleterious effects.First, these vaccines “mis-train” the immune system to recognize only a small part of the virus (the spike protein). Variants that differ, even slightly, in this protein are able to escape the narrow spectrum of antibodies created by the vaccines.Second, the vaccines create “vaccine addicts,” meaning persons become dependent upon regular booster shots, because they have been “vaccinated” only against a tiny portion of a mutating virus. Australian Health Minister Dr. Kerry Chant has stated that <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Peter-Duesberg/publication/261948355_Inventing_the_AIDS_Virus/links/5724a6bd08aef9c00b846323/Inventing-the-AIDS-Virus.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">COVID will be with us forever</a> and people will “have to get used to” taking endless vaccines. “This will be a regular cycle of vaccination and revaccination.”Third, the vaccines do not prevent infection in the nose and upper airways, and vaccinated individuals have been shown to have much higher viral loads in these regions. This leads to the vaccinated becoming “super-spreaders” as they carry extremely high viral loads.In addition, the vaccinated become more clinically ill than the unvaccinated. Scotland <a href="https://jeffreydachmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Public-Health-Scotland-21-08-04-covid19-publication_report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a> that the infection fatality rate in the vaccinated is 3.3 times the unvaccinated, and the risk of death if hospitalized is 2.15 times the unvaccinated.A June <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/308653" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">report</a> on Israel's Channel 12 News revealed that in the months since the vaccines were rolled out, 6,765 people who received both shots had contracted coronavirus, while epidemiological tracing revealed an additional 3,133 people <a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/news/post/immunization-expert-unvaccinated-people-are-not-dangerous-vaccinated-people-are-dangerous-for-others/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">contracted COVID-19 from those vaccinated</a> individuals.Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMcibr2113694" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New England Journal of Medicine</a> researchers have found that autoimmune response to the coronavirus spike protein may last indefinitely: “Ab2 antibodies binding to the original receptor on normal cells therefore have the potential to mediate profound effects on the cell that could result in pathologic changes, particularly in the long term — long after the original antigen itself has disappeared.” These antibodies produced against the coronavirus spike protein could be responsible for the current unprecedented wave of myocarditis and neurological illnesses, and even more problems in the future.<div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe class="rumble" width="100%" height="500" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vmuf0u/?pub=4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>Indefinite uncontrolled autoimmune response to the coronavirus spike protein may produce a wave of antibodies called anti-idiotype antibodies or Ab2s that continue to damage human bodies long after clearing either Sars-Cov-2 itself or those spike proteins that the shots cause the body's cells to produce, explained former New York Times reporter <a href="https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/a-frightening-new-potential-explanation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alex Berenson</a>.Spike protein antibodies may themselves produce a second wave of antibodies, called anti-idiotype antibodies or Ab2s. Those Ab2s may modulate the immune system’s initial response by binding with and destroying the first wave of antibodies.“Our immune systems produce these antibodies in response to both vaccination and natural infection with COVID,” wrote Berenson. “However - though the researchers do not say so explicitly, possibly because doing so would be politically untenable - spike protein antibody levels are MUCH higher following vaccination than infection. Thus the downstream response to vaccination may be more severe.”America's Frontline Doctors (<a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AFLDS</a>) Chief Science Officer former Pfizer Vice President Michael Yeadon responded to the research: "This is unprecedented. What is happening is not understood."Commentators on Israeli TV have reported that contacts in the Health Ministry have termed this ‘immune erosion’:<div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="100%" height="500px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bKFT4Rve9Zg" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>“While some are concerned that blood IgG antibodies fall with time, I am not convinced that this is a relevant measure,” Yeadon continued. "Respiratory virus infection begins in the lungs and nasopharynx. Neither are protected by blood antibodies, which are molecules too large to diffuse into airways tissue. What protects against infection and initial viral replication is secretory IgA antibodies and T-cells in airways, neither of which have been studied in any efficacy trial."The empirical data are very worrying. In most countries now, high fractions of the population have been vaccinated. If the Swedish study is a guide, we should anticipate seeing this immune erosion more widely. The most concerning aspect of that study is that those most in need of protection are those in whom immune erosion is most marked: the elderly, males, and those with comorbidities."Some have used the results of this study to support the widespread use of so-called ‘booster’ shots. It has to be said: No one has any safety data about such a plan. If immune erosion occurs after two doses and just a few months, how can we exclude the possibility that effects of an untested ‘booster’ will not erode more rapidly and to a greater extent? And what then would be the response? A fourth injection. Madness."It’s long past time when known safe and effective drug treatments be used as the leading response to symptomatic infection (antivirals, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories).“In this way, we don’t expose entire populations to experimental medical interventions when only a very small fraction of the population are at notable risk from this virus, which, all hype aside, is by no means exceptional in its lethality compared with numerous others such as seasonal influenza.”Yeadon concluded: "Europe is all but gone. The lights are going out. Austria and Germany now subject their unvaccinated to house arrest. In Greece, the unvaccinated are subject to escalating fines, non-payment of which is converted into prison time. In Lithuania, the unvaccinated are excluded from society. The booster campaigns are running full-pelt everywhere.“Someone, somewhere knows what’s going to happen. Will immunity-erosion worsen more speedily and to a greater extent after this untested ‘booster’? The U.K. government has already said that the fourth injection is to take place a mere three months after the third. It’s utter madness. Yet such is the hermetic control of media that nothing much emerges into the public consciousness.”<div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe class="rumble" width="100%" height="500" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vip78g/?pub=4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>En español <a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/espanol/post/sindrome-de-inmunodeficiencia-adquirida-por-la-vacuna-vaids-deberiamos-anticiparnos-a-ver-este-desgaste-inmunologico-mas-ampliamente/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">aquí</a>

AIDS cause reported in all initial cases; covered up because not contagious

The real cause of AIDS, known to health officials since day one

A <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10928-z">study</a> published last week in the journal Nature looking at heart-related emergency calls for ambulances in Israel before, during, and after Israel’s vaccination campaign found a 25% increase in ambulance calls involving cardiovascular events for ages 16-39 compared to the same period in the two previous years.The authors of the study were MIT professor <a href="https://mitsloan.mit.edu/faculty/directory/retsef-levi">Retsef Levi</a>, <a href="https://il.linkedin.com/in/eli-jaffe-586412112">Eli Jaffe</a>, a Director at Magen David Adom (MADA) Israel’s national ambulance service, and MIT postdoctoral fellow <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherfsun">Christopher Sun</a>.The authors reached out to Israel's Health Ministry early on in their research to get more data that could help explain the correlation between the vaccination campaign and heart-related ambulance calls for young people. The Ministry refused to cooperate with the requests.Before the study’s data and conclusions were formally published, the Ministry dismissed its findings by saying the study was not published nor peer-reviewed.Now, after the study has passed peer review and has been published in Nature, a highly reputed science journal, the Health Ministry chose to attack the study on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Health.gov.il/posts/362449312583541">social media</a> and released a <a href="https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/reports/vaccine-efficacy-safety-follow-up-committee/he/files_publications_corona_cardiac-arrest-acute-coronary-syndrome-mda.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0XHwfIck1WIUTAdlFYONIyIzyUkoGmkFE4AcsiYh4yQdrnm2-zwhL1QH0">presentation</a> of its critiques.&nbsp;MOH’s critiques in contextFirst, the Ministry reassures the public by saying they looked into the ambulance calls mentioned in the study and determined that there was no connection to the vaccination. The Ministry has not released the complete data on the 981 ambulance calls in question so we'll have to take their word on this.The Ministry provides overall percentages indicating what happened to the patients after the ambulance calls to show that most were not that serious. This is irrelevant to the conclusion of the study, though, since the study's endpoint was a comparison between the number of cases this year and in previous years. &nbsp;The study did not address the severity of the cases in any year.The same goes for the Ministry’s point that just because the paramedic catalogues the call as an “acute coronary syndrome” (ACS) or “cardiac arrest” (CA) doesn’t mean that’s what the patient was suffering from – as later determined in hospital. This “error” in determination would also have occurred in previous years.The Ministry points out that 2019 saw an even larger increase in calls compared to 2018, however, if 2021 is compared to the prior five-year average (as opposed to just 2019 as in the study) the increase is even greater. &nbsp;&nbsp;MOH’s troubling past with transparency&nbsp;In an interview after the Health Ministry’s response, Professor Levi expressed disappointment with the Ministry’s continued lack of transparency and cooperation, saying that if they want to show no connection between vaccination and these ambulance calls, they could just release the data (without identifiers to protect patient privacy) he said so that he and his colleagues could analyze them.The MOH was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/machatzlakorona/posts/388011436559330">invited</a> to join Levi for an online discussion about the study and to defend its position, but the MOH ignored the invitation.&nbsp;Openly sharing data on the vaccination campaign and its effects on the population was <a href="https://youtu.be/Dk0B3Z8bW5k?t=450">touted as an advantage</a> when Israel signed up to be the world’s laboratory for the Pfizer vaccine.Instead, the Ministry of Health has refused numerous requests for information including <a href="https://www.facebook.com/machatzlakorona/photos/p.385354056825068/385354056825068/?type=3">the vaccination status of pregnant</a> women who suffered miscarriages, and other pregnancy complications.The Ministry <a href="https://aflds.org/news/post/israel-health-ministry-deletes-comments-on-covid-vaccine-adverse-events/">deleted hundreds</a> of replies to their Facebook post touting the safety of the booster shot, after thousands of people complained about the adverse reactions they had.The objectivity of Israel’s Health Ministry regarding Pfizer has been called into question since Pfizer became the healthcare system's <a href="https://www.health.gov.il/Subjects/Finance/Documents/D2_2017.pdf">largest donor</a> in 2017, donating over US $110 million in contributions during the <a href="https://www.health.gov.il/Subjects/Finance/Pages/donation_reports.aspx">last four years</a> 2017-2021. &nbsp;&nbsp;Cardiac calls increase around the worldAn increase in ambulance calls and cardiovascular cases among the young is not unique to Israel. &nbsp;<a href="https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/11/26/heart-disorders-and-excess-deaths-among-young-adults-rising/">Scotland</a> saw a 118% increase in the number of cardiovascular cases among 15-44-year-olds. In <a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/2/frontlinenews/troubling-increase-in-cardiac-emergencies-whats-going-on/">Germany</a> during the vaccine rollout, there was a significant increase in admissions due to cardiovascular events. &nbsp;Many weeks saw 50% more admissions compared to recent years. <a href="https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/07/31/calls-ambulance-cardiac-arrest-unconsciousness-skyrocket/">England’s</a> ambulance service saw a 30% rise in cardiac calls, and <a href="https://aflds.org/news/post/queensland-health-minister-unable-to-explain-high-increase-in-heart-attacks-chest-pains/">Queensland</a>, Australia saw a 40% increase.

Israel answers study showing correlation between vaccine campaign and ambulance calls with flimsy refutation and brush-off

Israel Health Ministry attacks study, avoiding public debate

Who are COVID shots designed for?That’s just one of many intriguing questions prompted by a perusal of the Pfizer documents currently being published in batches after a&nbsp;federal&nbsp;judge&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;state of Texas ruled that the pharmaceutical company is obligated to release the data in a timely manner.The simple answer to our opening question is: everyone. That’s why we have been pressured and often mandated to take the shots – the powers-that-be want us all to take them. But with COVID, nothing is simple.By now, everyone must know that COVID is only dangerous for a very small tranche of the population. On average, people who die from COVID are in their late 70s to early 80s and have several serious comorbidities. Children are at virtually zero risk of dying of COVID; anyone under the age of 50 faces only a very tiny risk.Therefore, it would be reasonable to assume that vaccines against COVID were designed first and foremost for that small minority which genuinely has something to worry about – which would mean that the trial studies testing the shots before they were marketed should have focused on this small minority.That is not what happened.In the latest batch of documents released, Pfizer’s “exclusion criteria” for participation in its trials are listed.&nbsp;<a href="https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/125742_S1_M5_5351_bnt162-01-interim3-report-body.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here</a> they are. &nbsp;I'd like to focus on #29.&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="/uploads/pfizer_dump_exclusion_1_8b8c274015.png"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="/uploads/pfizer_dump_exclusion_2_fa8d03be62.png"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="/uploads/pfizer_dump_exclusion_3_7051e52524.png"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="/uploads/pfizer_dump_exclusion_4_2812f75e55.png"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="/uploads/pfizer_dump_exclusion_5_bfe90778a9.png"></figure>29. For older adults only: Have a condition known to put them at high risk for severe COVID-19, including those with any of the following risk factors:-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hypertension-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Diabetes mellitus-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Asthma-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chronic liver disease-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; … chronic kidney disease…-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Serious heart conditions…-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cancer-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Are immune compromised…-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Resident in a long-term facility…&nbsp;That’s quite a comprehensive list even aside from the other 28 categories excluded. It also includes virtually everyone at high risk of dying of COVID, as we know now, and as Pfizer and others “in the know” had good reason to suspect then, with plenty of evidence to rely on. (Incidentally, asthma is no longer considered a risk factor, but Pfizer was playing it safe.)Playing it safe?Safe for whom?Didn’t they want to know if their shots were a) effective and b) safe for those who were theoretically most in need of them?Didn’t the FDA want to know?

Our self-anointed health experts have this irritating way of ignoring inconvenient facts

Death-by-expert: A cross-country study - Opinion

H.G. Wells wrote The War of the Worlds in the late 1890s. Bill Gates wrote How to Prevent the Next Pandemic in 2022. But when it comes to hitting the epidemiological nail on the head, Wells does a far better job.For readers who haven’t read this sci-fi classic, in The War of the Worlds, Martians invade Earth and start killing people using a deadly heat-ray. Amid all the panic and desperation, the Martians suddenly die off and the world is saved.The novel’s narrator explains that after nourishing themselves with human blood, the Martians succumb to germs against which they have no immunity. All the best efforts of the British Army, scientists, and astronomers failed. &nbsp;Instead, the Martians were “slain . . . &nbsp;by the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth.”Fast-forward over 120 years and you would think that we would have learned a lesson or two in the interim. But Gates argues in his book that running away to hide from pathogens is the best way to beat them. His book is literally a paean to lockdowns, masks, and other low-tech, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). &nbsp;This may seem surprising coming from someone like him but when you realize that NPIs are control mechanisms, it starts to make sense.<blockquote>The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over, but even as governments around the world strive to put it behind us, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes...</blockquote>This is how Amazon describes Gates’ book, the product of “one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists.”And just how does Gates plan on achieving his grandiose objective? In his words,<blockquote>Lockdowns ... The evidence is clear that they reduce transmission, and that stricter lockdowns reduce transmission more than looser ones do.</blockquote>It’s unclear what evidence Gates has in mind. Study after study has found lockdowns and other NPIs to be <a href="https://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/iae/files/2022/01/A-Literature-Review-and-Meta-Analysis-of-the-Effects-of-Lockdowns-on-COVID-19-Mortality.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">useless</a> or <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/293669" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">worse</a> in protecting people from COVID. Furthermore, experts are starting to link lockdowns to a generalized <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/acbe4762-4e91-48dc-8880-b758aff43183" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">deterioration in immunity</a> which, they believe, could have led to the recent outbreak of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/apr/25/ten-uk-children-require-transplant-amid-surge-in-hepatitis-cases" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hepatitis</a> among children.Gates is wrong on the science of lockdowns, but he does at least acknowledge “the human suffering caused ... is incalculable, literally.” What he (along with most of our public health officials) doesn’t seem to realize is that this “human suffering” exacts a physical toll in terms of higher mortality and morbidity rates both from COVID and from other diseases—and even not in the presence of disease. Loneliness, feelings of abandonment, the fear engendered by being surrounded by medical personnel in PPE with not a familiar face in sight—all these cause a sick person’s chances of recovering to drop and a healthy person’s prognosis to degrade. Lockdowns have been conclusively linked with <a href="https://academic.oup.com/economicpolicy/advance-article/doi/10.1093/epolic/eiac002/6501443" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">depressed mental health</a>, with increased <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2021.739698/full" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">abuse</a> of <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/mdma-use-drops-due-covid-lockdowns-other-drugs-rise-eu-report-2022-03-17/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">drugs</a> and <a href="https://lextox.co.uk/blog-posts/impact-of-lockdown-on-drug-and-alcohol-addiction-and-recovery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">alcohol</a>, and with swifter descent into <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(21)00327-8/fulltext#:~:text=We%20report%20that%20lockdowns%20are,decline%20in%20people%20with%20dementia." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dementia</a> in the elderly.For Gates, it is apparently a price worth paying. According to him, these policies “saved so many lives that it will be worth adopting [them] again if the circumstances call for it.” He even claims that “NPIs in six large countries, including the United States, prevented nearly half a billion COVID infections in the first few months of 2020 alone.” Even if he were right, so what? COVID was still around when the draconian rules governing NPIs were loosened up later in 2020. In any case, people can’t live in lockdown forever. Or can they?&nbsp;<blockquote>Lockdowns ... [are] more effective in countries where residents have less of a voice in the country’s affairs,&nbsp;and the government is in a position to strictly enforce lockdowns and other mandates.</blockquote>Clearly, Gates is all in favor of people having “less of a voice” in making their own life choices. Government knows better, after all. It seems to have escaped Gates’ attention that things aren’t working out all that well in <a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o859" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">China</a>, where residents have no voice in the country’s affairs, are locked up in their homes, and are still contracting COVID.But maybe that’s because China doesn’t have GERM.No one does, yet. But GERM is what Gates has planned for the world. GERM will cast him as superhero.<blockquote>I call it the GERM—Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization—team, and the job of its people should be to wake up every day asking themselves the same questions: “Is the world ready for the next outbreak? What can we do to be better prepared?” They should be fully paid, regularly drilled, and prepared to mount a coordinated response to the next threat of a pandemic. The GERM team should have the ability to declare a pandemic and work with national governments and the World Bank to raise money for the response very quickly.</blockquote>GERM’s members, like epidemiologists, are not doctors. They won’t heal people, as Gates clarifies, “You might have noticed one obvious activity that’s missing from GERM’s job description: treating patients. That’s by design.”Rather, GERM is all about control. GERM is about responding to the “next threat of a pandemic.” It’s not even about responding to the pandemic itself.Gates should have read Wells. He would have discovered that GERM is likely to be vanquished by germ.The Talmud, a compilation of commentary on Divine wisdom written by the Jewish sages almost two thousand years ago, states:<blockquote>Abba Binyamin teaches: If the eye were given permission to see, no creature would be able to withstand the sight of the mezikin (Berachos 6a).</blockquote>“Mezikin” are, literally, “destroyers.” Among the interpretations of this statement is that man would die of fright if he were able to see all the myriad bacteria, viruses, fungi, and so forth, that surround him, bombard him, coat him, and infest him, constantly.God, in His wisdom, to quote Wells, has hidden these from our eyes, but He has also given us the wisdom to realize that we should not be hiding from them. He has given us an immune system — not a coat of armor — and the wisdom to learn how it functions best, and how it is thwarted, if we err.Among the lessons we can learn from the humble germ is that we, too, should be humble. GERM, however, puts Man on a pedestal, and although Gates claims to have learned from the “experts” how to defeat pandemics and save lives, it would have been far better if he had instead learned a little humility.

JP Sears reviews history of deliberately orchestrated famines

They’re causing food shortages?

Israeli historian, philosopher, and author of popular science bestsellers Yuval Noah Harari&nbsp;has opined about God and free will.&nbsp; He believes that neither exist.&nbsp;“Ultimately my choices,&nbsp;my desires reflect my free will and nobody can access that or touch that.&nbsp;And this was never true. . .”, says Harari.His “proof” is that “humans are hackable animals”.&nbsp; What does he mean by this?&nbsp; Harari explains, “To hack a human being&nbsp;is to understand what's happening inside you&nbsp;on the level of the body,&nbsp;of the brain,&nbsp;of the mind. . .” According to Harari, once technology can know what’s going on inside a person, “. . .&nbsp;you can predict&nbsp;what people will do. . . .&nbsp;once you understand and predict&nbsp;you can usually also manipulate&nbsp;and control and even replace.”Harari gives an example of how technology understands what’s happening inside us and can therefore manipulate us.&nbsp; Here it is in his own words.<blockquote>You open up that YouTube video your friend sends you&nbsp;after your lunch break.&nbsp;You come back to your computer.&nbsp;And you think okay I know those other times&nbsp;I end up watching two or three videos&nbsp;and I end up getting sucked into&nbsp;it.But this time it's gonna be really different.&nbsp;I'm just gonna watch this one video&nbsp;and then somehow that's not what happens.&nbsp;You wake up from a trance three hours later&nbsp;and you say what the hell just happened&nbsp;and it's because you didn't realize&nbsp;you had a supercomputer pointed at your brain.</blockquote>The idea of God and free will has been around for thousands of years.&nbsp; Manipulation of humans has been around for quite a while as well.&nbsp; The advertising industry is based on it, and it predates Youtube.So, what has Harari discovered that’s changed the paradigm?&nbsp; The astounding answer is nothing.Where did Harari go so wrong?&nbsp; This sentence contains his fallacy: “Ultimately my choices, my desires reflect my free will&nbsp;and nobody can access that or touch that.”Harari defines free will as untouchable and then proceeds to show that people can be manipulated.&nbsp; Supercomputers can “predict” how people will react to various stimuli.&nbsp; Free will is therefore not untouchable.&nbsp; Therefore, it must not exist.The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines free will as the “freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by divine intervention.”This definition does not mention that nobody can predict what I will do in a given circumstance.&nbsp; It does not say that “nobody can access … or touch” my choices or desires.So, what has Harari done?&nbsp; He made up his own definition of free will, proceeded to show that it’s not true and based on that, claims that it doesn’t exist.&nbsp; This is known as a strawman logical fallacy.I do not know if Harari is a competent historian, but he definitely gets failing marks as a deep thinker.&nbsp; Free will implies accountability.&nbsp; If we are manipulated and have no choice, then we are not responsible for our actions.Civilized society is based on accountability.&nbsp; Our legal system, all legal systems assume that we can choose to follow the law or not.&nbsp; We can therefore be held responsible for our actions.So, what’s Harari getting at?&nbsp; He is getting at control.&nbsp; If people have no free will because they can be manipulated, they are controllable.&nbsp; This is Harari’s end goal.&nbsp; It is the end goal of the WEF and Klaus Schwab’s “Great Reset”. Harari is a personal advisor to Schwab.The ultimate goal is to have totally controlled humans who have no choice in anything about their own lives but who are nevertheless happy.&nbsp; “You will own nothing and you will be happy.”

New difficulty level added as next elimination commences

Frontline News selects 5 political cartoons as competition enters next stage

Last week, America’s Frontline News correspondent Yudi Sherman sat down with sociology and criminal justice expert Dr. Josh Guetzkow to discuss a <a href="https://psyarxiv.com/t2g45/">study</a> from Denmark showing that the unvaccinated are among the most universally hated groups in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe class="rumble" width="640" height="360" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v1379c0/?pub=vbksd" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>The study sought to determine the level of prejudice against people who did not get the COVID-19 shot, which it measured with one simple benchmark: How would you feel about someone not vaccinated against COVID-19 marrying a member of your family?&nbsp; &nbsp;The results showed that among 10,740 respondents across 21 countries, people who are vaccinated would not want an unvaccinated person marrying a close relative, which the study classifies as “antipathy”. In fact, respondents had 2.5 times more antipathy towards the unvaccinated than towards Middle Eastern migrants, “a group battling high levels of discrimination globally.”&nbsp; &nbsp;Notably, the unvaccinated were found to have no antipathy towards the vaccinated.&nbsp;&nbsp;While this antipathy reflects stereotypes the vaccinated harbor, such as the unvaccinated being “unintelligent” and “untrustworthy”, the study found that the main driver was fear of being infected.&nbsp; &nbsp;While fear of COVID-19 infection would not naturally cause such fear in humans, Dr. Guetzkow says that the media amplified fear of COVID-19 enough to cause senseless hatred.&nbsp;“There's been this full-on, non-stop fear campaign about COVID,” said the Princeton alum. “The media has been spreading so much fear about this.”&nbsp;Dr. Guetzkow noted that according to polls, people are likely to over-exaggerate the potential harm of COVID-19.&nbsp;“They’re massively overestimating the danger of COVID to themselves, and the only place that they got that idea was the mainstream media. Talk about spreaders of misinformation.”&nbsp;The sociologist also noted that in many places in the world, fear of COVID has been split down party lines.&nbsp;“Sociologically, one of the things that I have observed is that in most countries the discourse is highly partisan. So, in the US, anybody raising doubts or concerns about lockdowns, about masks, about vaccines is often on the right of the political spectrum, but even if they're not, they're depicted – it's depicted as an opinion of the right wing.”&nbsp;Because of the media’s depiction, discussions about COVID-19 are no longer about a disease, but about their political identities.&nbsp;But at least there is a divide.&nbsp;In Israel, the population is relatively homogeneous in its fear of COVID-19 and support of restrictions.&nbsp;“It's interesting because there you don't have that political divide. The left and the right are united in favor of the vaccines, in favor of the lockdowns, etc.,” he shared. “It's just kind of like this ‘lunatic fringe’&nbsp;that doesn't have a political identity. The anti-vaxxers are completely demonized but they're not associated with like a political figure or political spectrum.”&nbsp;What was most surprising to Dr. Guetzkow, however, was how the Israeli government and Israeli people marched in lockstep to demonize the unvaccinated, even after it became known that the vaccinated are just as contagious.&nbsp;This is ironic, says Dr. Guetzkow, because of how Jewish people were treated during the Holocaust.&nbsp;“If you look at the history of what was the basis for the ghetto in Warsaw – the big ghetto in Warsaw was to stem a typhoid epidemic. And who were the spreaders of typhoid? Who were the main spreaders of typhoid? The Jews. That was what was believed or what people were told, and so all of that dehumanization of the Jews, one of the major pillars of that was that these ‘unclean people are disease spreaders and we need to do something about it’ and the doctors all fell in line. ‘And yeah, we gotta do something about it for the greater good. You know it's for the good of the people.’”&nbsp;“It's just been really shocking to me to see how easily that same rhetoric – that basically exact same rhetoric is used to create fear and hatred against people who were unvaccinated against COVID-19.”&nbsp;This is Part I of a two-part series on The Ugly Face of Hatred with Dr. Josh Guetzkow.Josh Guetzkow is a senior lecturer in sociology and criminology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research has focused on a range of topics related to criminal justice policy, politics, culture, inequality and more recently, the suppression of scientific dissent.He did his MA and PhD in sociology at Princeton University, where he received advanced training in research design and statistics. He also completed a post-doc in health policy at Harvard University with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars in Health Policy Program.Dr. Guetzkow lives in Tel Aviv with his wife and two sons.
