When a professor and biological anthropologist asked on social media if anyone besides her friend and herself had experienced changes in their periods after getting a COVID shot, she expected a few hundred responses, at most.
But when she got over 165,000, she knew something serious was going on. The changes were varied, severe, and scary, to the point that some women even feared they had cancer. Yet, when the women tried to report the changes, they were ignored and even ridiculed.
In an opinion piece for The Washington Post, the anthropologist, Kate Clancy, explains that until she and other feminists pressed for answers after their COVID shots, the nuances of women’s menstrual cycles have basically been ignored through the ages.
But things changed after Clancy and her peers began demanding research on the shots’ effects on periods, and, she says, “Without our intentions, or our methodologies, the National Institutes of Health might not have been inspired to release funding to support research studying this reported phenomenon, and we wouldn’t have multiple studies and surveys supporting our early findings that the coronavirus vaccines can induce short-term changes to the duration and flow of menstruation.”
After analyzing reports to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) of events most relevant to fertility and reproductive physiology, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons is urging a halt to COVID shots being given to all women of reproductive age.
Their analysis looked at conditions such as menstrual abnormality, miscarriage (spontaneous abortion), fetal death (stillbirth), premature delivery and premature baby death.
From “unprecedented” numbers of stillbirths to increased numbers of miscarriages to “stunning rises” in fetal deaths, the extraordinary number of adverse events is concerning enough to necessitate stopping the vaccination program on women of childbearing age immediately, until all the safety signals have been addressed, the physicians said.
While they acknowledge certain limitations to this study, they said “it is imperative that special attention is paid to monitoring for any and all safety signals.”

Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons Spring 2023
In the July 22, 2021, article,1 “Did Scientists Stifle the Lab-Leak Theory,” foreign reporter and columnist for Unherd, Ian Birrell, analyzes the circumstances that led to a near-complete blackout of questions about SARS-CoV-2’s origin.
In September 2019, the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board issued a warning that a new infectious disease was poised to spread around the world, and that nations were ill prepared for such an event.
The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board is a joint arm of the World Health Organization and the World Bank — two technocratic entities that aren’t always working in the best interest of humanity as a whole.
On the 15-person Board are Sir Jeremy Farrar (director of the Welcome Trust), Dr. Anthony Fauci (director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIAID) and George Fu Gao, director-general of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Technocrat-Led Board Predicted Manmade Pandemic
As noted by Birrell, the board’s warning was “astonishingly prescient,” as SARS-CoV-2 emerged in December 2020. Importantly, the board did not necessarily focus its prediction on the emergence of natural zoonotic diseases but, rather, warned of technological and scientific advances that “allow for disease-creating micro-organisms to be engineered or recreated in laboratories.”
According to the board, accidental release of such manmade organisms could actually be far more devastating than a natural outbreak. “Accidental or deliberate events caused by high-impact respiratory pathogens pose global catastrophic biological risks,” the board stated in its September 2019 report, titled “A World At Risk.”2 In passing, the report also mentioned the need to control the flow of information:
“A deliberate release would complicate outbreak response; in addition to the need to decide how to counter the pathogen, security measures would come into play limiting information-sharing and fomenting social divisions.”
Same Board Members Denied Possibility of Manmade Pandemic
Despite the Board’s recognition that manmade pathogens pose a significant threat, some of its board members — Fauci and Farrar in particular — have played central roles in roundly dismissing the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a lab. As reported by Birrell:3
“Farrar was a central figure behind two landmark documents published by influential science journals that played a key role in shutting down discussion of the lab leak hypothesis by branding it conspiracy theory.
These statements, signed and promoted by leading figures in the scientific establishment, pushed an idea that the pandemic was a natural occurrence by arguing against the plausibility of ‘any type of laboratory-based scenario.’ Critics say this ‘false narrative’ set back understanding of the disease for more than a year.”
In his book, “Spike: The Virus vs. The People — the Inside Story,” Farrar praises China for its pandemic response at the outset of the pandemic. This despite the fact that the Communist dictatorship is known to have silenced doctors who wanted to warn the public, and allowed the annual Chinese New Year’s celebration to proceed, thereby ensuring massive spread as people from all parts of China and across the world gathered.
Did Fauci and Farrar Collude to Suppress Lab-Leak Theory?
Birrell goes on to detail how Farrar and Fauci reacted to early reports suggesting the virus had telltale signs of gain-of-function. Emails4 obtained via freedom of information act (FOIA) requests reveal Fauci received a Science magazine article detailing the work of Peter Daszak (EcoHealth Alliance) and Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
“The article discussed controversies over risky ‘gain of function’ experiments, including mention of a 2015 paper by Shi and a U.S. expert on modification of a Sars-like bat virus to boost infectivity to humans,” Birrell writes.5
“Emails released through freedom of information requests show Fauci instantly circulated the article to U.S. officials and contacted Farrar saying it was ‘of interest to the current discussion’ …
[Scripps virologist Kristian] Andersen, when sent the Science article at the end of January, admitted a close look at the genetic sequences of Sars-CoV-2 showed that ‘some of the features (potentially) look engineered’ and that other experts agreed the genome was ‘inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory’ …
The Wellcome boss then set up a conference call for the pair of them with 11 other experts from around the world, warning their discussions were ‘in total confidence’ and information ‘not to be shared’ without prior agreement.
Farrar also sent Fauci a link to an article on ZeroHedge … that tied a Wuhan researcher to the virus outbreak. The site was banned the next day from Twitter …”
While we don’t know the full details of what was discussed during that February 1, 2020, phone call, Birrell points out what we do know. For example, we know they discussed contacting the WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and that two days later, Ghebreyesus made a public call for censorship of misinformation.
Five days after that call, Daszak also circulated the first draft of a scientific consensus statement6 that eventually got published in The Lancet, and thereafter was used by mainstream media and fact checkers everywhere to “debunk” any and all evidence of a lab leak.
The statement, signed by 27 experts, including Farrar, condemned “conspiracy theories suggesting that Covid-19 does not have a natural origin.” A FOIA request revealed Daszak was the mastermind behind that Lancet statement7 — which, by the way, presented no actual evidence of natural origin — and that he wanted to make sure it could not be identified as being from a single individual or organization.
Six weeks after Farrar’s group call, four of the participants on the call — including Andersen — also published a commentary in Nature Medicine, titled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2,”8 in which they stated they “do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”
“This statement in a world-renowned journal, which has been accessed 5.5 million times, further depressed debate of alternative theories on the origins, despite being challenged by a few brave voices in the scientific community,” Birrell writes.9
Unanswered Questions
In his book, “Spike,” which was published July 22, 2021, Farrar admits he had deep concerns about the “huge coincidence” of SARS-CoV-2 emerging in a city with a biosafety level 4 (BSL4) laboratory that just so happens to specialize in collection, storage and research of bat coronaviruses. Birrell writes:
“The new coronavirus ‘might not even be that novel at all,’ he thought. ‘It might have been engineered years ago, put in a freezer, and then taken out more recently by someone who decided to work on it again. And then, maybe, there was … an accident?’
He was so concerned that he confided in Eliza Manningham-Buller, then the Wellcome Trust chair and a former head of the MI5 intelligence service, who told him to start taking precautions such as avoiding putting things in emails and using a burner phone for key conversations.
So what changed his mind so firmly he started signing letters and tweeting about alleged conspiracy theories? When I asked Farrar to share the evidence that set his mind at rest, he pointed to the Nature Medicine article. Yet his office told me later he helped ‘convene’ these five authors.
They also insist that ‘the weight of available data and scientific evidence continues to point towards zoonotic origins.’
But scientists have found no hard evidence on the pandemic origins, despite testing 80,000 samples on animals to find a natural link, while China has made increasingly ludicrous claims over the origins as well as covering up the outbreak, lying over the date of first cases and taking offline Wuhan’s key database of samples and viral sequences.”
In his book, Farrar also discusses specific concerns brought forth by Andersen in January 2020. Recall, in April 2020, Andersen published “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” with four other co-authors. But in January, three things alarmed him about the virus:
The receptor binding domain, which is like a perfect key for entering human cells
The furin cleavage site, which is not found in other bat coronaviruses and would be expected “if someone had set out to adapt an animal coronavirus to humans by taking a specific suit of genetic material from elsewhere and inserting it”
A scientific paper describing the use of that very technique to modify the original SARS virus. Andersen allegedly thought it “looked like a how-to manual for building the Wuhan coronavirus in a laboratory”
Evidence of Collusion
Before Farrar’s February 1, 2020, call, Andersen was “60 to 70%” convinced SARS-CoV-2 was a lab creation, according to Farrar’s account. Yet Andersen also told Farrar he did not want to be a front man for the lab leak theory. Birrell writes:10
“Anderson told [Farrar] that he suddenly realized he might be the person who proved the new virus came from a lab. ’I didn’t necessarily want to be that person,’ he said.
‘When you make big claims like that you had better be sure that you can conclude something is based on evidence and not on speculation.’ So according to Farrar, then five experts wrestled with the evidence and, the following month, they declared in Nature Medicine that Sars-CoV-2 was ‘not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus’ …
They offered the circumstantial evidence that RaTG13, the closest known coronavirus to Sars-CoV-2, had different binding mechanisms — yet similar ones were found on pangolins, so ‘the ingredients … were out in the wild. They did not need to have escaped, or been unleashed, from a containment lab.’”
The problem with this argument is that they have no firm evidence of natural emergence. What’s more, while Andersen and co-authors claim they spent many sleepless nights carefully analyzing and evaluating the lab leak theory before finally dismissing it, in a May 2021 interview,11 co-author Robert Garry admitted the first draft of the Nature Medicine paper was finished February 1, 2020 — the day of Farrar’s conference call, which included four of the five co-authors.
Fauci’s email trove also reveals Farrar sent Fauci a rough draft of the Nature Medicine paper three days after that conference call, urging him to keep it confidential. That same day, Andersen also told another group of experts that the data “conclusively show” there was no engineering involved. “So far from having ‘many sleepless nights,’ these scientists seem to have changed their minds amazingly fast and reached fresh conclusions,” Birrell writes.
Elite Institutions Have Subverted the Truth
Another article addressing the subversion of truth by some of our most trusted scientific institutions is James Meigs’ Commentary piece, “The Lab-Leak-Theory Cover-Up.”12
“The dam is breaking,” Meigs writes. “And with the surging floodwaters, comes a stunning realization: Almost across the board, our elite institutions got the most important question about COVID wrong.
Worse, they worked furiously to discourage anyone else from getting it right. The leading scientific experts turned out to be spinning the truth. Our public-health officials put their political agenda ahead of any scientific mandate.
And the press and social-media giants eagerly played along, enforcing strict rules about which COVID topics were acceptable and which had to be banished from the national conversation.
During the Trump years, we heard a lot of hand-wringing about the public’s unwarranted ‘distrust’ of our society’s designated experts and leaders. But to be trusted, people and institutions have to be trustworthy.
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed a profound corruption at the heart of our expert class. The impact of that revelation will reverberate for years to come.”
As noted by Meigs, leading institutions not only declared the lab-leak theory incorrect, but also “dangerous and malicious,” and went to extraordinary lengths to “protect” the population from hearing anything that might infect their minds with such wrongthink.
In the end, all such efforts failed. Despite the ridicule, personal attacks and censorship, common sense and logic have managed to break through and, today, the failures of our most prestigious science institutions are laid bare.
Government Only Pays Lip Service to the Truth
The lab-leak question has also revealed corruption within other cherished institutions, such as the U.S. intelligence community. Two separate teams, one in the State Department and another under direction of the National Security Council, have been tasked with investigating the origin of SARS-CoV-2.
In Commentary, Meigs points out that both teams report facing intense internal pushback, according to Vanity Fair reporter Katherine Eban. Their own institutions urged them “not to open a ‘Pandora’s Box,’” which suggests the State Department and the NSC aren’t particularly interested in the truth. Of particular concern was the role the U.S. government may have played by funding gain-of-funding research on bat coronaviruses at the WIV.
While the ramifications of the truth might be extremely uncomfortable for some, if we allow individuals to shirk responsibility, the ramifications of that course of action could ultimately turn out to be lethal for mankind.
If U.S. institutions such as the NIAID funded gain-of-function research that resulted in a pandemic, we need to know, so we can close loopholes and implement better safeguards. I’ve argued that gain-of-function research that makes pathogens more dangerous to humans ought to be banned altogether, to prevent the creation of a truly lethal pandemic.
But even if we don’t ban it, we need to know what government agencies have been doing with our tax dollars, and decide whether they’ve been put to good use or not. In my opinion, creating pathogens capable of killing us is hardly a good use of our taxes, and should be stopped.
Origin Story Shows Importance of Independence
Most people want to trust government, academic and scientific institutions, and the media. Unfortunately, if the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that these institutions aren’t worthy of unequivocal trust.
They say they’re trustworthy, and they insist we must trust them, but their actions tell a different story. The pandemic has also shown us just how important it is for investigators, researchers and reporters to be truly independent. As noted by Meigs:13
“The story of why the line of inquiry survived is not an account of leading scientists and health organizations dutifully parsing the evidence.
Instead, it is largely the story of little-known researchers — many working outside the bounds of elite institutions — who didn’t let the political implications of their findings derail their efforts.
Much of what we know today about the Wuhan Institute’s risky research is thanks to these independent skeptics who challenged the institutional consensus. Some risked their careers to do so.”
One key group of self-organized researchers is the Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19 (DRASTIC). They’ve made a number of important discoveries that have kept the lab-leak theory alive.
Massive Collusion to Suppress Inquisitiveness
“Throughout the pandemic we’ve often heard admonitions to ‘follow the science.’ Looking back we can see that few scientists — and even fewer journalists — really did,” Meigs notes. Among the few journalists who did tackle the elephant in the room were former New York Times reporters Nicholas Wade and Donald McNeil Jr.
“Notice the irony here: While two refugees from the New York Times were publishing deep, well-reported articles on an alternative outlet, the Times itself was still mostly ignoring the Wuhan-lab story,” Meigs writes.14
“One of its current pandemic specialists, Apoorva Mandavilli, was on Twitter urging everyone to ‘stop talking about the lab leak’ … When the pandemic hit last year, we were all urged to fall in line and listen to the authorities. Scientists and bureaucrats were elevated to near-divine status.
‘Let us pray, now, for science,’ Times tech columnist Farhad Manjoo wrote last February. ‘Pray for reason, rigor and expertise … Pray for the N.I.H. and the C.D.C. Pray for the W.H.O.’ Now the public is waking up to the fact that, prayers notwithstanding, those institutions largely failed us.
The WHO kowtowed to China’s deceptions. Anthony Fauci trimmed his public statements to fit the prevailing political winds. Some of the nation’s top virologists didn’t just dismiss the lab-leak possibility, they appeared to be covering up their own involvement with Wuhan gain-of-function research.
Journalists and social-media companies conspired to suppress legitimate questions about a disease that was killing thousands of Americans each day.”
Establishment Needs a Deep Clean
While we certainly need expertise, as Meigs points out, we must also be able to trust our experts, and the only way for trust to rebuild, experts must act from a strong ethical foundation, and be held responsible for dangerous failures.
“If the public concludes that COVID-19 was, in effect, an inside job, the political fallout could last a generation,” Meigs writes.15“I don’t mean people will believe the virus was deliberately released … but that they will see the disease as a product of an elite power structure that behaves recklessly and evades responsibility.”
What makes the situation so problematic is that it’s not just one type of institution that is behaving recklessly and shirking responsibility. It’s not just the legacy media, or academia, or government, or public health, the intelligence apparatus, Big Tech, Big Pharma or the medical journal system. It’s all of them.
The Medical Journal System Has Failed Us Too
Continuing along that same line of reasoning, a July 27, 2021, Spectator article16 by Stuart Ritchie reviews the unhealthy relationship between The Lancet and China, and its role in thwarting scientific investigation into the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Ritchie points out how The Lancet’s editor-in-chief, Richard Horton, has routinely defended China’s actions:
“It’s not just the scientists and health workers of China that the Lancet has praised. In May last year, Horton appeared on the state-owned broadcaster China Central Television to praise how ‘tremendously decisively’ the Chinese Communist party had handled the pandemic. He also penned multiple editorials about China, including one entitled ‘Covid-19 and the Dangers of Sinophobia.’”
Ritchie also stresses that “some of the most famous stories of scientific fraud have originated at The Lancet during Horton’s tenure as editor,” including, most recently, fraudulent papers proclaiming to show that hydroxychloroquine is dangerous when used in COVID-19 patients, and Daszak’s “scientific statement” condemning the lab leak theory as wild conspiracy theory.
“The purpose of the Lancet, back in 1823, was to slice away the immorality and complacency of the medical establishment … [Lancet founder Thomas] Wakley would have been stunned to see that his journal now exemplifies that establishment,” Ritchie writes.17“It embodies an unaccountable or only partially accountable elite that does often make progress, but fails abjectly to face up to its many faults.
In 2021, we might find that the best rejoinder to our establishment isn’t a new Wakley-style journal, but an entirely new way to think about science and how it’s published: a way that doesn’t hand over all our trust to editors and reviewers, but that emphasizes openness and transparency right from the start.
There are several proposals for how it could happen. The next rotten thing that needs to be cut away could be the journal system — and the Lancet itself.”
The censorship rolled out during the COVID pandemic has revealed a disconcerting truth, namely that corruption and collusion are rampant everywhere. By the looks of it, we need to do a clean sweep across the board, and that will require time, effort, and most of all, open public discussion.
Laws Have Been Broken. Who Will Hold Them Accountable?
In closing, I strongly recommend listening to Dr. David Martin’s explanation of antitrust law in the video below, and how, in the case of a criminal conspiracy, liability shielding evaporates.
In his view, having reviewed the evidence, there’s no doubt that the NIH/NIAID, the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, ATI, Moderna and Pfizer are guilty of criminal conspiracy (the legal definition thereof) and premeditative antitrust violations.
Without that criminal conspiracy and their premeditative acts, we would not be in the situation we’re in now, where censorship and pandemic measures and rules are putting the public health, well-being and sanity at risk. Unfortunately, while there is, theoretically, a legal way out of this pandemic, deep cracks in our justice system has also been exposed over the past year and a half.
Martin is currently struggling to find a state attorney general willing to pursue these violations so that we can bring this faux pandemic to a close. Hopefully, once enough people understand the illegality of the situation, someone will have the courage to step up to the plate.
MILITARY vaccine mandates? Dept. of Defense purchasing 500 million ApiJect syringes to inject every person in America with coronavirus vaccine
THE QUESTION IS WHY?
Anyone who thought the US military was preparing to force vaccinate every American with a coronavirus vaccine has just found strong evidence to confirm the plan. According to a press release from the US Dept. of Defense, featuring an announcement from Lt. Col. Mike Andrews, the DoD is partnering with HHS to acquire 500 million ApiJect vaccine injection devices, with deliveries expected to begin in October of this year.
According to the press release:
Spearheaded by the DOD’s Joint Acquisition Task Force (JATF), in coordination with the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, the contract will support “Jumpstart” to create a U.S.-based, high-speed supply chain for prefilled syringes beginning later this year by using well-established Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) aseptic plastics manufacturing technology, suitable for combatting COVID-19 when a safe and proven vaccine becomes available.
The ApiJect syringes come with an optional RFID tag so that health care workers can track the GPS location and identity of the individual being injected. Via the Apiject.com website:
With an optional RFID/NFC tag on each BFS prefilled syringe, ApiJect will make this possible. Before giving an injection, the healthcare worker will be able to launch a free
mobile app and “tap” the prefilled syringe on their phone, capturing the NFC tag’s unique serial number, GPS location and date/time. The app then uploads the data to a government-selected cloud database. Aggregated injection data provides health administrators an evolving real-time “injection map.”
Yes, you will be tracked, tagged, bagged and injected, most likely against your will.
Don’t forget that this is being married with President Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” which aims to bypass all the usual protocols of vaccine safety testing and clinical trials, delivering up to 300 million coronavirus vaccine doses before the end of calendar 2020.
500 million prefilled syringes by 2021
The $138 million contract aims to achieve, “the ultimate production goal of over 500 million prefilled syringes (doses) in 2021.”
Notably, there are only around 327 million people living in the United States. That means this DoD / HHS project will produce enough coronavirus vaccine doses to cover every man, woman and child in America.
The only reason they would need so many doses is if there is a plan under way to force vaccines on everyone.
If coronavirus vaccines were planned to be optional — respecting the vaccine choice of individuals — not more than 100 million doses would be needed. The fact that 500 million doses are being manufactured is an admission that the DoD and HHS plan to make coronavirus vaccines mandatory.
Present-day vaccines that claim to treat measles, mumps, chicken pox, HPV and other infectious diseases are deliberately manufactured with a bizarre list of toxic and unethical ingredients, including:
Aluminum
Mercury (Thimerosal)
Antibiotics
Squalene (an inflammatory chemical)
Aborted human fetal tissue
Formaldehyde
MSG
Live viruses
HCG, an infertility chemical
Which ingredients are going to be formulated into the coronavirus vaccine?
And if the coronavirus vaccine is going to be produced without any real quality control or clinical trials, how will drug companies or government agencies know whether the vaccine is safe?
Vaccine safety isn’t the goal… mass murder and depopulation is the real objective
With LA County recently announcing a plan to keep its residents locked down for another three months, and with the FDA and CDC conspiring with Big Pharma to grant “emergency approval” to vaccines which could not possibly go through the required safety trials, it’s abundantly clear that safety is not the issue.
Even Bill Gates now admits that 700,000 people could experience side effects from a coronavirus vaccine, and some of those side effects no doubt include death.
The real goal here is to corral human beings like cattle and subject them to a “kill switch” vaccine injection, which will obviously be engineered with infertility chemicals (soft kill) and engineered elements that cause a cytokine storm death upon a subsequent infection (hard kill). Depopulation has been the goal all along. That’s why they need all the RFID tracking technology: to make sure they’ve injected everyone while tracking now “refuseniks” to be arrested and injected at gunpoint.
And that’s why vaccine mandates are going to be aggressively resisted by the “human resistance” members, who are already aware that the US military is being prepared for a vaccine mandate deployment mission on US soil. President Trump, meanwhile, has become the “vaccine president” and has apparently gone all-in with Big Pharma, pushing his “Operation Warp Speed” project that makes a mockery of the very idea of “evidence-based medicine” or vaccine safety.
Resistance against coronavirus vaccines is already accelerating. It looks like even mainstream conservatives are going to fight to resist the coming vaccine mandates, while so-called “pro choice” progressives are going to claim the government owns your body and can forcibly inject you with anything they want, including experimental, unproven vaccine cocktails. One thing that has emerged from all this is how conservatives are now more skeptical of vaccines than ever before… and the battle for medical choice is rapidly gaining awareness.
It’s clear that any effort by Trump or various governors to push mandatory vaccines on the public is likely to be met with determined resistance.
The vaccine wars may be coming to America very soon.
Are you prepared to defend your body against an assault with a deadly vaccine weapon?
From a human rights perspective, a mandatory vaccination is an assault with a deadly weapon and a violation of basic human dignity and the rights of personhood. This is self-evident from the fact that vaccines kill people every year in America, a verified fact that’s openly admitted by the government in its quarterly vaccine damage reports (VAERS.HHS.gov).
If vaccines kill and maim people — which they do — then forcing an especially fast-tracked vaccine on someone against their will is a form of violence and a clear felony assault against that person.
If someone is attempting to assault you with a deadly weapon, you have every right to defend yourself under US law. No emergency declaration nullifies your exclusive ownership over your own body. And no legitimate government would ever attempt to claim the right to penetrate your body with dangerous substances without your consent.
This argument is even stronger when you realize that there are many ways a person can boost their immunity against an infectious disease, including having good nutrition (vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, etc.) and maintaining a healthy lifestyle that avoids toxic prescription medications such as blood pressure drugs. For a vaccine zealot to claim that vaccines are the one and only way to protect public health, while denying the effectiveness of all other strategies, is a horrifying example intellectual fraud.
The fact that vaccines can and do spread other diseases under certain circumstances — such as polio, chickenbox and even the measles — reveals that vaccines may actually harm more people than they help. Because vaccines present the risk of harm, the choice of whether to agree to a vaccine injection must rest with the patient, not the doctor nor the government. This is a basic principle of western medicine: Informed consent. (And “First, do no harm.”) In fact, it is codified under medical ethics rules of the American Medical Association.
Without informed consent, we don’t have a system of medicine at all. In its place, we have a system of authoritarian medical tyranny — essentially a medical police state.

FDA APPROVES FIRST AT HOME SALIVA TEST FOR COVID 19
The first COVID-19 test using saliva samples that patients collect at home has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The emergency use authorization was issued to Rutgers Clinical Genomics Laboratory for the diagnostic test using home-collected samples. Patients return their sample to the New Jersey-based lab in a sealed package for analysis.
The screening is the only authorized test that uses saliva samples to check for the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19. It is available only with a prescription.
Last month, the FDA gave emergency authorization for the first at-home COVID-19 test using a sample taken from the patient’s nose with a nasal swab and saline.
“Authorizing additional diagnostic tests with the option of at-home sample collection will continue to increase patient access to testing for COVID-19,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said in an agency news release. “This provides an additional option for the easy, safe and convenient collection of samples required for testing without traveling to a doctor’s office, hospital or testing site.”
At-home saliva testing has several advantages over traditional nasal testing, in which a health care worker inserts a swab deep into the patient’s nose and rotates it to extract a sample.
Besides being invasive and uncomfortable, the nasal test requires a potentially contagious patient to leave home and the person administering the test to don personal protective gear.
Since the start of the pandemic, Hahn said FDA has authorized more than 80 COVID-19 tests, and adding more options for at-home sample collection is an important advance.
“It is important to note that this is not a general authorization for at-home collection of patient samples using other collection methods, saliva collection devices, or tests, or for tests fully conducted at home,” the FDA news release said.
Do know that you are giving your DNA over to the government to own. You are sending you DNA, to a government supported genomics laboratory. If you have no symptoms, you do not need a test.
Traces of the COVID-19 coronavirus have been found in the semen of some severely infected men, raising the possibility that the virus might be sexually transmitted, a new study from China claims.
Researchers found evidence of the virus in six men out of a group of 38 COVID-19 patients at Shangqiu Municipal Hospital in China who provided samples.
The six men included four who were still infected and two who were recovering, the researchers said.
The study was led by Dr. Weiguo Zhao of the People’s Liberation Army General Hospital in Beijing, and findings were published May 7 in the journal JAMA Network Open.
It’s not surprising that the virus was found in semen samples, since it’s also been found in stool and other body fluids, said Dr. Ryan Berglund, a urologist with the Cleveland Clinic’s Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute.
Infectious viruses commonly are found in semen, with Zika being one recent notable example. The Chinese researchers noted that 27 different viruses have been detected in human semen.
However, Berglund and infectious disease experts warn that this does not constitute concrete evidence that COVID-19 can be sexually transmitted.
“I think that’s premature,” Berglund said. “You have to look at this as a sign that semen, as along with a number of other body fluids, can contain the virus.”
The new paper comes on the heels of another study from China that found no traces of coronavirus in 34 men with mild to moderate cases of COVID-19. That study was published in late April in the journal Fertility and Sterility.
Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in Baltimore, said “the fact that the novel coronavirus’ genetic material is found in the semen of male patients is an important finding that will need follow-up study.”
Agreeing with the need for further research is Dr. Greg Poland, director of the Vaccine Research Group at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
“To me, it raises a warning, and now we have to attend to that warning and do the research,” Poland said.
But both Adalja and Poland have doubts about the potential for COVID-19 to be sexually transmitted.
“We know the virus is transmitted efficiently through the respiratory route and we have not seen any documented cases of sexual transmission, therefore this may not necessarily represent proof of sexual transmissibility via the male genital tract,” Adalja said.
That being said, there is more we do not know than know, and we need to heed on the side of caution.
Poland noted that the new study relies on testing that only detects traces of genetic material from the coronavirus.
“It doesn’t tell you that it’s whole, viable, infectious virus,” Poland said. “If I ground up the virus and performed this test, it would be positive even though that virus has no infectious potential.”
Even so, the World Health Organization, in February 2020 advised that everyone sleep in their own bedrooms, and abstain from sex.
Knowledge is power, so here you go—the key stats and facts that give a clearer picture of the COVID-19 pandemic
COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon. It’s now a global pandemic. And as daily headlines tell of rising outbreaks around the world—and growing numbers here in the United States—it’s only natural to feel uneasy and wonder whether your community is in danger. But arming yourself with the facts—and some practical tips to keep yourself safe—can help ease the urge to panic.
To keep you up to date on the status of the COVID-19 outbreaks around the world and in the United States, here are 10 key facts (updated daily) about the illness you should know.
1. It’s True: The Situation Worldwide Is Serious
This new coronavirus has spread from its origin of China to more than 100 other locations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—and yes, that includes the United States. Here are the key numbers to know for the top affected countries, as of 1 p.m. on April 27, according to the Johns Hopkins University’s Center for System’s Science and Engineering interactive tracker for the virus, which pulls real-time data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
Total confirmed cases in the United States: 968,203
Total confirmed cases in Spain: 229,422
Total confirmed cases in Italy: 197,675
Total confirmed cases in France: 162,220
Total confirmed cases in Germany: 158,142
Total confirmed cases in the United Kingdom: 154,038
Total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19: 2,995,456
2. There Are 968,203 Reported Cases in the United States
As of 1 p.m. on April 27, there are 968,203 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins.
All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are reporting cases, says the CDC. California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas have the most, with more than 20,000 cases each. New York has more than 277,000.
Of these confirmed cases, some are:
Travel-related. This means the people with the illness became infected while traveling in areas where active outbreaks have already occurred, such as the original outbreak site in Wuhan, China, but they weren’t tested/diagnosed until they got back to the U.S.
Spread by person-to-person contact in the United States. Some of these occurred due to close household contact with someone who got infected outside of the country. For example, one case was diagnosed in a woman whose husband had just returned from China, where he had been infected—he just didn’t know it until it was too late, and he had returned to the States and developed symptoms there. Others got the illness from community spread.
“Community spread” cases. Community spread cases are those detected in people who don’t report any relevant travel history or known exposure to someone else with COVID-19. Basically, they got the illness—likely in their own community—but exactly where or when they were exposed to it is unknown. Since late February, the CDC has begun reporting community spread cases in the United States.
As of April 27, there have been 54,938 deaths from COVID-19 reported in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins. Globally, there have been 207,583 deaths.
3. This Virus Is Brand New
This coronavirus outbreak is a new type of coronavirus that just spread from animals to humans in December 2019, says the CDC. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses found in certain animals, and in the past, there have been rare cases where they can infect humans and start to spread from person to person.
That’s what happened with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV). Experts are now calling the new version of this virus SARS-CoV-2 because it appears to be distantly related to the first SARS-CoV. All three of these viruses appear to have come from bats.
Because this virus is barely months old, top scientists are still uncovering the facts about SARS-CoV-2 and the illness it causes, COVID-19. Much of what experts are saying comes from educated guesses based on how other coronaviruses operate, like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.
4. The Virus Spreads in 3 Ways
Again, because the virus is so new, it’s not 100% clear yet just how it transmits from person to person—but experts have a pretty good idea based on what they’re seeing so far and how past outbreaks of similar coronaviruses have worked.
It appears the new virus, SARS-CoV-2, spreads mainly through respiratory transmission, according to the CDC. That includes:
Transmission between people in close contact (about 6 feet from each other or closer)
Transmission from respiratory droplets produced when a person with the virus sneezes or coughs, which can then land in the noses or mouths of others nearby or maybe even be inhaled into someone else’s lungs
Possible transmission from touching a surface or object with the virus on it and then touching your mouth, nose, or possibly eyes (however, this isn’t the primary way the CDC thinks the virus is transmitted)
As for how contagious the virus is, the CDC is still working to figure that out—in some geographic areas, it appears to be transmitting from person to person easily (aka “community spread”), while it hasn’t spread so easily in other areas—just between people with close contact to each other.
“It is a general theory that people are most contagious when they are outwardly presenting symptoms, which for this virus, the most common symptoms are coughing, respiratory difficulty, and fever,” says Niket Sonpal, M.D., a board-certified internist practicing in New York, New York. “However, researchers do not rule out the possibility of transmission prior to a sick person showing symptoms.” However, he adds, the CDC states that this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

5. There Are 3 Major Symptoms to Watch for
The symptoms of this illness include:
Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath
Also watch for chills, body aches, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and runny nose.
Right now, the CDC thinks symptoms of COVID-19 can appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Cases have varied from mild to severe, the CDC reports.
Call your doctor if you develop any of these symptoms and have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19, or if you’ve recently traveled to an area with widespread or ongoing community spread of the illness.
If you are diagnosed with the illness and your symptoms are mild, do the following, according to the CDC:
Don’t leave the house—except for medical care. If you’re mildly ill, it’s time for that “self-quarantine” you’ve been hearing about. That means restricting any out-of-the-home activities, only leaving to get medical care. That means no work and no school. If you do leave your home to get care, don’t take public transportation.
Stay away from people and animals in your home. If you live with others—humans or pets—try to stay away from them. If you can, isolate yourself to a specific room. If you have more than one bathroom in your home, designate one for you and one for everyone else who isn’t sick. As for staying away from pets, there haven’t been reports of pets or other animals getting sick with COVID-19, but it’s still recommended as a precaution for now. Don’t share personal household items (like drinking glasses or bedding) with others in your home.
Call your doc before your appointment. When you make your doctor’s appointment, make sure to tell the staff that you might have COVID-19—that way they can take steps to protect themselves when you’re there.
Wear a facemask. If it doesn’t make it harder for you to breathe, wear a facemask while you’re sick to protect others. COVID-19 is not an airborne virus, rather it’s spread through respiratory droplets. For this reason, the CDC suggests using surgical masks and respirators. Dust or paint masks made out of paper, cloth or fabric, gauze, cotton or plastic are not effective. People who are caring for you may consider wearing facemasks too, especially if you’re unable to because of your symptoms.
Take the other usual sick precautions. That means covering your coughs and sneezes, and of course washing your hands (20 seconds with soap and water), especially after coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose, going to the bathroom, or handling food. Avoid touching your face as much as you can. Lastly, make sure high-touch surfaces in your home are cleaned and disinfected regularly.
Do these things until your doctor gives you the OK to resume normal activities. If your symptoms get worse (for example, if you’re having trouble breathing), call your doctor right away.
6. The Illness Is Usually Mild, Unless It Reaches the Lungs
In most people—80% according to a report on China’s cases from the WHO—COVID-19 is a fairly mild illness, mostly hanging out in the nose and throat and staying put. But for those in whom the virus moves on to the lungs, it can be more dangerous, leading to pneumonia and other issues.
Fourteen percent of people with COVID-19 develops trouble breathing and other severe complications. Six percent of patients become critical, usually due to respiratory failure or failure of other major systems in the body, or due to septic shock, according to the WHO report.
Older folks and those with preexisting medical conditions like heart disease, lung disease, cancer, diabetes, or high blood pressure appear to be at increased risk of getting more severe illness from COVID-19, according to WHO.
And while some of the symptoms are flu-like, COVID-19 is not a version of the flu—it appears to be more deadly. Right now, it’s not totally clear what the fatality rate is for COVID-19—estimates range from 1.4% to around 4%, STAT reports. This is higher than the typical death rate of the flu each year, which is about 0.1%.
7. Larger Outbreaks in the United States Are Likely
At this point, new coronavirus cases are climbing daily in the United States. Federal officials asked hospitals, schools, and businesses to prepare for this scenario, such as relying more on telehealth services and considering how they might use internet-based tele-schooling to continue education if quarantines are necessary.
In many communities, such closures have started taking effect to help reduce the spread of the disease and avoid over-burdening hospitals. Universities and public schools in many states have closed or moved to online classes, and public facilities like restaurants, bars, and fitness centers have been ordered closed in some places as well.
California was the first state to place a state-wide “Safer at Home” order March 19 that requires residents to stay at home other than for essential reasons like getting food and going to the doctor. Several other states and major cities have followed suit or are planning to enact similar orders, including Ohio, Delaware, Louisiana, Philadelphia, and New Orleans, among others. Check your local government website for the latest information on potential restrictions in your area.
8. You Can Take Steps to Prevent Getting the Virus
With all of this in mind, it’s important to take preventive steps to keep you and your family safe and healthy—from COVID-19 and other illnesses, like the flu.
If COVID-19 is spreading in your community, the CDC is advising that you avoid contact with other people—that’s the term “social distancing” you’ve probably been hearing a lot lately and reason why bars, restaurants, and other public spaces in your town are shutting down or changing their services temporarily. The goal? Slow the outbreak so as not to overwhelm health care systems with too many cases all at once, according to Johns Hopkins. This is called “flattening the curve.”
To practice social distancing, stay out of settings where you’ll come into close contact with others—especially mass gatherings. Stay about six feet away from other people—especially if they’re showing signs of illness like coughing.
The CDC also now recommends people wear cloth face coverings like scarves or bandanas when in public settings (like pharmacies and grocery stores) when it’s hard to maintain that social distance—especially if you live somewhere with high rates of community spread cases. This does not mean you should be buying surgical masks or N-95 respirators—these are supplies that need to be saved for health care workers and first responders. The CDC offers instructions for how to make a face covering using simple, low-cost materials you may already have at home.
The CDC also recommends these precautions to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases:
Wash your hands, and often. “The most important thing people can do to prevent this disease and to keep themselves healthy is to wash their hands with soap and water often,” says Dr. Sonpal. Regular old soap and water does the trick, as long as you’re washing for at least 20 seconds. You can also use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Avoiding exposure to viruses in the first place is your safest bet. Similarly, when you’re sick, you should stay home too.
Stop touching your face. Touching your nose, eyes, and mouth with unwashed hands is a quick way to spread germs.
Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue to cover your cough or sneeze, then throw out the tissue and wash your hands.
Keep your surroundings clean. It’s a good idea to regularly clean and disinfect high-traffic surfaces and objects, like kitchen counters, doorknobs, and kids’ toys, to name a few.
9. A Vaccine Is, Unfortunately, a Ways Off—But Treatments Are Coming Sooner
As of now, there’s no vaccine you can get to prevent COVID-19—so the preventive steps above are super important. That said, there are scientists diligently working toward developing a vaccine against this new coronavirus.
In fact, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology researchers have recently identified potential targets for a vaccine that can help guide their experiments—and according to studies, that could be a major step forward. Other research teams worldwide are working toward vaccine development, too, hoping to expedite the process.
But a vaccine is still a distant goal: : “Some estimates have been proposing an 18-month wait while the health officials of various countries look at the possibilities, it is hard to say currently when a vaccine will be ready,” says Dr. Sonpal.
Sanofi, one pharmaceutical maker working toward a vaccine, said it wouldn’t expect one to be available for 18 months, STAT reported. That said, new drugs will likely be developed much faster to help treat people infected with the virus.
For example, Gilead Sciences, Inc. a pharmaceutical developer, announced that they are fast-tracking two studies on a potential treatment for COVID-19: the antiviral drug remdesivir. “The speed with which remdesivir has moved into clinical development for this coronavirus reflects the pressing need for treatment options and the shared commitment of industry, governments, global health organizations and healthcare providers to respond to this public health threat with the highest urgency,” Gilead’s Chief Medical Officer Merdad Parsey, M.D., Ph.D., said in a news release.
Additionally, an existing drug for malaria—chloroquine—may hold promise for treating the new coronavirus, according to a paper published in Cell Research.
10. The Virus May Affect Your Travel Plans
At this point, community spread of COVID-19 is occurring globally. But there are some geographic locations where cases of are more widespread.
The CDC currently recommends everyone avoid all nonessential travel—period—because of the severity of COVID-19 spread globally. Additionally, most foreign nationals who have been to China, Iran, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and most European countries in the past 14 days have been prohibited from entering the United States.
If you’re traveling from a high-risk country to the United States, know that new procedures have been put in place that may complicate your arrival into the country, according to the CDC, including a health screening. CDC staff will give you a short questionnaire about your travel and symptoms, along with collecting your contact information. They’ll take your temperature and check for things like fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. If they suspect you may be sick, they will evaluate you further and get you care as needed. Depending on your health and travel history, you may be restricted in where you can go for the 14 days after you leave the high-risk country.
