Dr. John Ioannidis

In April Stanford University researcher Dr. John Ioannidis presented a summary report from his recent coronavirus study in Santa Clara, California.

The research project looked at 3,300 people in Santa Clara County in California. The Stanford study revealed that 2.5% to 4.2% of people tested for COVID-19 were positive for antibodies.

The doctor's data indicated that there are between 50 to 80-fold more infections in the general population than the confirmed cases.

This was a huge development.

Best of the Web: State murder: Thousands of UK cancer patients could die early due to lockdown delays

Thousands of people with cancer could die early because so many hospitals have suspended surgery for the disease while the NHS battles the coronavirus, experts warn today.

The pandemic will have "a terrible indirect impact on the lives of cancer patients" for months to come, on top of the devastation for families who have lost a loved one to Covid-19, according to research by the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR).

The authors say that the disruption to NHS cancer treatment, and especially delays to operations to remove tumours, will lead directly to some people's disease having become incurable.

Best of the Web: As Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine takes the lead, its Chief Medical Officer's recent promotion of 'gene-editing vaccines' comes to light

More and more frequently, government officials, political pundits and self-appointed "global health experts" like billionaire Bill Gates have been instructing the public that mass gatherings and any semblance of "normalcy" will not return until a vaccine for the novel coronavirus Covid-19 is created and subsequently distributed to the masses. In recent weeks, it has quickly become apparent that the leading Covid-19 vaccine candidate is the messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine being developed by Boston-based Moderna Inc.

Today, Moderna announced that its vaccine candidate, named mRNA-1273, "appeared to produce an immune response in eight people who received it." Moderna's response is odd given that the "study" in question is focused on safety and "is actually not designed to measure effectiveness of the vaccine," according to a report in TIME. Notably, none of the study's findings on vaccine safety were reported aside from claims it was "generally safe." It is also worth noting that this "safety-focused" study only began in March and thus, to date, represents only an examination of the vaccine's effects in the very short term.

Best of the Web: Growing evidence for vitamin D deficiency affecting Covid-19 severity

The argument that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to more severe cases of Covid is gaining ground. It is now reaching the point where it is surprising that we are not hearing from leading medical officials and politicians that people should consider taking supplements to ensure they have sufficient vitamin D.

This is not the same as arguing that vitamin D is a magic bullet that will cure the disease. Vitamins are not medication, the taking of which will have positive effects on everybody. They are top-ups: things that hurt you when you don't have enough of them in your system but do no extra good when you have enough. Indeed, with many vitamins, including D, taking too much can be toxic.

However, it is true that many people are deficient in vitamin D, especially at the end of winter. That is because, uniquely, vitamin D is a substance manufactured by ultraviolet light falling on your skin. You can get some from fish and other foods, but not usually enough. So most people's vitamin D levels fall to a low point in February or March when the sun has been weak and its UV output especially so. Public health bodies have long advised people to supplement vitamin D in winter anyway.

Best of the Web: 10,000+ residents flee Michigan county after TWO dams fail in a single day, unleashing massive flood

Comment: A 'one-in-500-year event', they're calling it.

As Corona madness grinds on, we expect ever more extreme weather phenomena to hit everywhere...

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has declared a state of emergency for one county after two dams breached on the same day, warning that downtown Midland could be under nine feet of water in just 12 hours as thousands evacuate.

Both the Edenville and Sanford dams near Midland breached on Tuesday after several days of heavy rainfall, sending a torrent of water downstream along the Tittabawassee River and prompting the governor to issue an evacuation order for the area's 10,000 or so residents.

"If you have not evacuated the area, do so now and get somewhere safe," Whitmer said in a statement, noting the state's National Guard had been activated and warning the city of Midland could be devastated by flooding as soon as Wednesday.

"This is unlike anything we've seen in Midland County. If you have a family member or loved one who lives in another part of the state, go there now."

Now, dear reader, I know you're not a member of an institutionally sociopathic elite caste, trying to extend your power back to the good old days of supreme monarchs ordained by God himself.

But imagine you were.

Imagine you were one of the richest people to ever exist, and your vast network of wealth and influence was based on some imaginary money and the widely cultivated belief that "there is no alternative".

Now imagine the lies which secure your position are suddenly and violently challenged. Imagine Yellow Vested protests in the streets of Paris, an independence referendum in Catalonia. Anti-globalists, on the left and right, surging in popularity all around the world.

Best of the Web: Dr. Judy Mikovits framed by Dr. Fauci: The truth about her arrest and the one issue media can't 'debunk'

A few weeks ago Dr. Judy Mikovitz burst on the scene as the subject of the eye-opening Plandemic film. In it, she divulged the incredible levels of greed and corruption in the science and medical fields, and the effects that those in power have on the course of public health and the production of vaccines in particular.

Soon after Plandemic was released, and after millions became further aware of the issues she was raising, a campaign of lies and demonization occurred with many articles and "fact checkers" cropping up and accusing her of all kinds of nefarious crimes.

In the following interview with Ben swann of Truth in Media, Dr. Mikovitz addresses the false accusations and the egregious conflicts of interest between corporate media, the medical industry and politicians.

Comment: Amidst the Covid-19 hysteria Dr. Mikovitzs' whistleblowing and damning information is some of the most important to reach public consciousness.

Best of the Web: Personal pods, 'bumper tables' & pool noodle hats? Inventive 'social distancing' enforcers ensure New Normal is anything but!

As populations emerge from Covid-19 lockdown, businesses are scrambling to comply with the onerous social-distancing regulations still in place, deploying everything from repurposed pool noodles to hula hoops to keep people apart.

Schools and 'non-essential' businesses like restaurants and bars are preparing to reopen after lengthy lockdowns, but many governments are insisting on the need for continued "social distancing" - keeping people six feet apart at all times to prevent the spread of Covid-19. After months all but trapped in their homes, many people want nothing more than human contact. How to prevent them from sneaking in a peck on the cheek or a friendly hug?

Cafe Rothe in Schwerin, Germany has outfitted patrons with pool-noodle hats - lightweight straw fedoras topped with a pair of crossed foam noodles that prevent undesirable closeness. They're floppy enough not to do any damage should someone get too close, but ungainly enough to prevent anyone accidentally thinking life has returned to normal.

Best of the Web: Is it time to launch an investigation into the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for 'crimes against humanity'?

Occasionally, humanity is confronted with a series of events, oftentimes accompanied with tremendous human suffering, that appear to be so intricately linked and coordinated that to explain them as mere coincidence or conspiracy theory is not only reckless, but potentially criminal in itself.

This month a petition was drafted for the federal government to call on Congress to investigate the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for "medical malpractice & crimes against humanity."

"As we look at events surrounding the 'COVID-19 pandemic," the appeal reads, "various questions remain unanswered."

"On Oct. 18th of 2019, only weeks prior to ground zero being declared in Wuhan, China, two major events took place. One is 'Event 201,' the other is the 'Military World Games,' held in none other than Wuhan. Since then a worldwide push for vaccines & biometric tracking has been initiated."

Bill Gates is the world's largest vaccine producer and the single largest donor to WHO and the CDC Foundation. Those agencies are now marketing arms for his vaccine empire. In January 2019, Gates had WHO declare "vaccine hesitancy" the top "global health threat" (with Ebola, cancer, war, and drug-resistant pathogens), signaling a worldwide Pharma Gold Rush to mandate vaccines to all people.

Gates maxed-out in donations to Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff's political action committee (PAC). In February 2019, Schiff wrote to Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Pinterest, demanding they censor "vaccine misinformation," a term meaning all skepticism toward government and industry pronouncements about vaccine safety or efficacy - whether true or not. Schiff wrote:

"Vaccines are both effective and safe. There is no evidence to suggest that vaccines cause life-threatening or disabling disease."

This was misinformation. A year earlier, Schiff pushed a bill to hike the Vaccine Court admin budget to $11,200,000 to reduce vaccine injury backlogs. The court had already paid out $4 billion for vaccine deaths and disabilities.

Comment: No matter his ideas, wealth, clout and publicity, there is no doubt as to the outcome of Bill Gates' intentions regarding vaccines: it won't be to save humanity.
