The president of Sanofi Pasteur Inc., along with a former health chief and now politician, Rep Janette Garin have all been indicted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the Philippines for reckless imprudence, resulting in homicide as a result of the deaths of children associated with the anti-dengue vaccine Dengvaxia. As a result of an ongoing investigation, government prosecutors found probable cause to file the charges against the named defendants as well as nine unnamed officials from the Department of Health, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine. Additional Sanofi Pasteur officials were indicted for violations of the Consumer Act of the Philippines.

Current Situation

Known as the Dengvaxia controversy, there were hundreds of deaths associated with a Philippines Deng immunization program in 2017. The Department of Health there ultimately suspended a school-based vaccine program utilizing French drug maker Sanofi Pasteur's Dengvaxia vaccine due to a number of deaths from various complications that allegedly attributed to the vaccine product. Thereafter, the company went public with a statement that its product, in fact, poses higher risk to people without prior dengue infection. By August 2019, over 600 people, mostly children, who received the vaccine have died. It must be emphasized that not all of these deaths are due to the vaccine itself. Regardless, the DOH banned the vaccine's sale or use in the Philippines.

Comment: Any potential vaccine should mandatorily undergo intense review and the risk factors made public knowledge. Killing the patient is not a preventative solution. Why were these vaccinations allowed to continue if even one recipient died from its dose?

Best of the Web: Wisconsin Supreme Court tosses lockdown order: Ends Deep State Covid-19 tyranny

Wisconsin lockdown protest

The Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the Bill Gates-advocated stay-at-home order, previously ordered by globalist quisling, Governor Tony Evers. This is one small step for Wisconsinites, but one giant step for all American people. In this analysis we will look at the broader implications for similar possibilities in other states, but also its connection to the upcoming election.

This ruling reaches even farther than Wisconsin, and also farther than the Coronavirus pandemic, because it establishes that the Wisconsin supreme court is not friendly towards Democrat Governor Tony Evers.

Democrats are pushing medical tyranny and lockdown as the basis for ultimately eliminating the 2020 election, by closing polls and using online voting. Because the U.S system gives great authority to the state governors in determining the election rules and the handling and counting of ballots, causing a partisan control over outcomes, the presence of Evers otherwise threatens Trump's chances in Wisconsin.

Best of the Web: Global lockdowns: Looks like an op, smells like an op, walks six feet apart like an op

empty london lockdown
We don't need Rahm Emanuel to tell us a crisis shouldn't go to waste. It's a strategy that probably got off the ground a hundred thousand years ago. The other half of it is, create the crisis to begin with. Then don't waste it.

The Bill Gates plan involves a mother of all vaccines for COVID, mandated across the globe, before the lockdowns end. That's his psychopathic wet dream. Then, coming in behind that, his lackey, the World Health Organization, along with the professional liars at the CDC, will add โ€” "we must mandate EVERY vaccine..."

To pull off a mandated global vaccine for eight billion people takes a manufactured crisis.

Flashback Best of the Web: Even the WHO acknowledges that scientific evidence of effectiveness of wearing masks in community settings is NON-EXISTENT


Comment: We realize a month is a long time in the Corona zone, where time apparently runs differently, so, in the face of the current wave of media bullsh*t about why everyone has to 'ought to' wear medical facemasks, we're re-running this World Health Organization advice that they're useless...


covid mask
While multiple cities in the US roll-out mandatory use of masks in public, the WHO's 2020 guidance recommends against wearing masks in community settings because of a lack of supporting scientific evidence and the potential for increased disease transmission through improper use.

According to its "Advice on the use of masks in the community, during home care and in healthcare settings in the context of the novel coronavirus (โ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Ž2019-nCoV)โ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Ž outbreak: interim guidance, 29 January 2020":
"Wearing medical masks when not indicated may cause unnecessary cost, procurement burden and create a false sense of security that can lead to neglecting other essential measures such as hand hygiene practices."
In fact, the WHO's advice includes a caution that the improper use of masks may even "increase the risk of transmission associated with the incorrect use and disposal of masks."

Comment: That may be true, but what better way to signal one's subservience to the new police state:

Best of the Web: Victory Day: It's time to think about finally winning WWII

WWII

75 years ago Germany surrendered to allied forces finally ending the ravages of the Second World War.

Today, as the world celebrates the 75th anniversary of this victory, why not think very seriously about finally winning that war once and for all?

If you're confused by this statement, then you might want to sit down and take a deep breath before reading on. Within the next 12 minutes, you will likely discover a disturbing fact which may frighten you a little bit: The allies never actually won World War II...

Now please don't get me wrong. I am eternally thankful for the immortal souls who gave their lives to put down the fascist machine during those bleak years... but the fact is that a certain something wasn't resolved on the 9th of May, 1945 which has a lot to do with the slow re-emergence of a new form of fascism during the second half of the 20th century and the renewed danger of a global bankers' dictatorship which the world faces again today.

It is my contention that it is only when we find the courage to really look at this problem with sober eyes, that we will be able to truly honor our courageous forebears who devoted their lives to winning a peace for their children, grandchildren and humanity more broadly.

Best of the Web: American gangsters: Juan Guaido had White House meeting with boss of US mercenary firm behind bungled Venezuela coup - interrogation tape

US-backed Maduro opponent Juan Guaido met with the head of the notorious Silvercorp, the American company believed to have been involved in the failed attempt to kill the Venezuelan president, a captured plotter has alleged.

Jordan Goudreau of Silvercorp had met with Guaido, the self-proclaimed interim leader of Venezuela, in Washington DC in March. That's according to the testimony of Captain Antonio Sequea, who confessed to being one of the firm's contacts on Venezuelan soil.

The video, shared with the media by Venezuelan Vice-President Jorge Rodriguez, shows how Sequea revealed that the Silvercorp head - a former Green Beret - first "distanced himself from us" but then resumed communication and brought some "good news" to the apparent Guaido camp.


Comment: The rot has set in so deeply, even their overthrows of foreign govts are completely hare-brained!

It's miraculous civilization hasn't fallen apart before now. At this point, we're surely running on fumes...

Best of the Web: Why does the mainstream media seem so desperate to keep the Coronavirus lockdowns going?

covid19 window
Something doesn't smell right. The number of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. each day has been declining, as has the number of deaths. This is great news, and we should be hoping that the falling numbers are a sign that the pandemic is beginning to subside. But the mainstream media has been relentlessly pumping out stories that warn of "disaster" if the lockdowns are lifted "too soon". According to the mainstream media, by "ignoring science" we are inviting a "second wave" which will be even deadlier than the first one. And it is certainly true that as we end the lockdowns more people will get exposed to COVID-19, but right now I do not know of a single hospital in the entire country that is currently being overwhelmed by this pandemic. As long as our hospitals can handle it, there is no reason to continue the lockdowns.

But the mainstream media seems desperate to keep the lockdowns going, and so they keep telling us that we are "inviting disaster" by ending them. For example, the following comes from a New York Times article that was just published entitled "As States Rush to Reopen, Scientists Fear a Coronavirus Comeback"...
Millions of working people and small-business owners who cannot earn money while sheltering at home are facing economic ruin. So dozens of states, seeking to ease the pain, are coming out of lockdown.

Most have not met even minimal criteria for doing so safely, and some are reopening even as coronavirus cases rise, inviting disaster. The much-feared "second wave" of infection may not wait until fall, many scientists say, and instead may become a storm of wavelets breaking unpredictably across the country.

Comment: This quote the author cited:
"Mother Nature bats last, and she bats a thousand."
...is true in a way that its speaker doesn't realize. Nature is going to respond to the stultification of human life in breathtaking and devastating ways.

Best of the Web: The elites are conditioning you to live in a 'smart city' - Resist it

smart city
And at the dead center of it all is Eric Schmidt. Well before Americans understood the threat of Covid-19, Schmidt had been on an aggressive lobbying and public relations campaign pushing precisely the "Black Mirror" vision of society that Cuomo has just empowered him to build. At the heart of this vision is seamless integration of government with a handful of Silicon Valley giants โ€” with public schools, hospitals, doctor's offices, police, and military all outsourcing (at a high cost) many of their core functions to private tech companies.

- The Intercept: Screen New Deal
Each crisis in the 21st century has been aggressively and ruthlessly wielded into a massive wealth and power grab by the American oligarchy and national security state. The big power grab following 9/11 centered around whittling away constitutional rights via mass surveillance in the name of "keeping us safe", while the money grab after last decade's financial crisis concentrated wealth and assets into fewer hands while entrenching financial feudalism and making the Federal Reserve and mega banks even more powerful.

Despite the success of this diabolical and intentional concentration of money and power, there's still too much privacy, freedom and independent wealth around for the imperial oligarchy to feel comfortable. As such, the current pandemic is being used to put the finishing touches on whatever little political and economic freedom remains in these United States.

The lessons learned from prior crises are being rolled out simultaneously this time around while people remain incapacitated at home due to Covid-19. The 2008/09 financial collapse taught those in power they can get away with unprecedented, unaccountable theft during an economic and stock market crash. Similarly, 9/11 demonstrated people will relinquish civil liberties without much protest when immersed in a state of fear.

Question

Best of the Web: Did European athletes catch coronavirus while competing at World Military Games in Wuhan in OCTOBER?

French athletes
The French delegation were competing in the 7th World Military Games in Wuhan - just 20 days before the first Chinese person officially became ill with coronavirus - with 402 athletes present, along with 10,000 other athletes from all over the world
French athletes believe they caught coronavirus at the World Military Games in Wuhan in October, 20 days before the first recorded case in China.

It comes after it was revealed that Frenchman Amirouche Hammar, 43, had been infected with COVID-19 outside Paris as early as December.

The hospital where Hammar was treated for chest pains has since re-tested samples and found the fishmonger was positive for the virus on December 27. It is not known where he caught the virus, although his wife works close to Charles de Gaulle airport.

A number of French athletes who were at the World Military Games from October 18 to 27 have since described coming down with severe flu-like symptoms while at the event.

Elodie Clouvel, a world champion modern pentathlete, was asked on March 25 whether she was anxious about spending the summer in Japan for the Olympics. She told Loire 7: 'No because I think that with Velentin (Belaud, her partner, also a pentathlete) we have already had the coronavirus, well the COVID-19.'

The 31-year-old went on: 'We were in Wuhan for the World Military Games at the end of October. And afterwards, we all fell ill. Valentin missed three days of training. Me, I was sick too. [...] I had things I had never had before. We weren't particularly worried because no one was talking about it yet.'

Comment: A US delegation of athletes was also in attendance at the games in Wuhan. The Chinese put out reports in late January that they suspected US military troops brought the virus along with them. Given the fact that the science points to this strain of Coronavirus being lab-created, and some other pieces of data, a more apt name for the disease might then be: 'the American Virus'.

In any event, it's clear that this thing was circulating the globe by December. Which means the Deep Staters knew all about it long before March when they decided to capitalize on it by instituting this batsh*t crazy lockdown.

Best of the Web: Rand Paul calls out Fauci over Covid-19 : 'You don't get to decide for all of us', lockdown is based on 'one wrong prediction after another'

Republican Senator Rand Paul has challenged National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr Anthony Fauci on the nation's Covid-19 policy, suggesting the US is waiting too long to reopen.

Paul, who also has a medical degree, called for "a little bit of humility in our belief that we know what's best for our economy," questioning Fauci's support for a prolonged economic shutdown during a Senate hearing on the government's coronavirus response on Tuesday.

Comment: Fauci better be cautious of showing his face outside the Democrat DC cocoon.
