Spanish doctor schools a TV anchor on COVID-19, dispels myths

spanish doctor
COVID-19 pandemic (or plandemic, as many would say) is surrounded by a large amount of controversy, to say the least. An enormous amount of mutually exclusive information is presented from all sides, but there's only one narrative being pushed by the corporate-owned mass media. This narrative is the most narrow-minded one and is the only one which requires blind obedience and a complete lack of transparency.

Many doctors have come out against this narrative, but are constantly being silenced and suppressed by the MSM. This has reached the point where even a mild questioning of the official narrative has become almost a revolutionary act. Highly respected doctors and scientists risk becoming outcasts just for speaking their mind and questioning the official narrative.

After all, wasn't it precisely this approach of questioning everything that has been the main drive behind the quantum leaps in modern science in the last century or so? If we agree that this assumption is true, then why does this not apply to the COVID-19? Why are we required to blindly follow dogma, if it's the No. 1 enemy of scientific progress? This and many other questions are answered by a Spanish doctor in the following video.

Paying the piper?

When a researcher publishes a research paper he or she is obliged to state clearly any funding source. The reasons for this are entirely obvious. Most 'bad', 'faulty', or 'unreliable' research is tainted by the interests of those who have provided financial support.

There is nothing new in any of this, and scientific literature is replete with examples - from the use of Thalidimode for morning sickness to Andrew Wakefield linking the MMR vaccine to autism etc. - of bad or biased science. That is not to say necessarily that a scientist or expert offering scientific guidance has been influenced by the overt or covert desires of his sponsors; however, to preserve impartiality he must declare any sponsors before 'expert' or 'scientific' conclusions are tendered.

Unfortunately, the same rigorous insistence on transparency in respect of funding does not extend to appearances on TV or Radio. Thus, if an 'expert' appears to promote a particular therapy, vaccination, or social behaviour, he is not obliged to declare a vested interests or private sponsorship.

Tennessee mom says parents asked to sign 'ridiculous' waiver they will not eavesdrop on kids' online lessons

tennessee mom
A Tennessee school district is under fire for asking parents to sign a form agreeing not to eavesdrop on kids' virtual classes over concerns they could overhear confidential information.

After significant pushback, Rutherford County Schools is allowing parents to tune in with permission from the teacher but they can't record the classes.

"It's ridiculous. It's so hypocritical because they've been data mining our children for years, compliments of common core," Laurie Cardoza-Moore, founder of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, said on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Saturday.

"What are they trying to hide? What is the problem? Why won't they let us sit in?" the homeschool mom of five asked.

"Obviously, because they are teaching our children propaganda that they should not be teaching," she said. "They are trying to socialize our children."

Two men accused of planning an anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne have had their homes raided and been arrested.

Police vowed to crack down on the protest, planned in Melbourne's CBD on Sunday, calling it a "blatant breach" of COVID-19 restrictions.

Officers seized phones and a computer, charging a 41-year-old Mooroolbark man with incitement. A 41-year-old Chirnside Park man is expected to be charged on Friday.

The Facebook event has called on people to protest in opposition to the city's six-week shutdown and claimed to be a broader movement of planned protests.

"Let's blow this one up and fill up the streets to show these criminals we won't give up our country and livelihoods without a fight," the event description reads.

Thirteen people died in a stampede at a disco in Peru after a police raid to enforce the country's lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic, officials said Sunday.

The stampede happened at the Thomas disco in Lima, where about 120 people had gathered for a party on Saturday night, the Interior Ministry said.

People tried to escape through the only door of the second-floor disco, trampling one another and becoming trapped in the confined space, according to authorities.

A huge demonstration is underway in Minsk, marking the third week of anti-government rallies. Protestors are demanding the resignation of Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko, saying his re-election was rigged.

Sources on the ground say the crowd numbers in the tens of thousands, with the opposition estimating there are over 100,000 participants. Protesters gathered earlier in the city's Independence Square for a minutes silence in memory of those killed during clashes with law enforcement agencies during earlier rallies.

The demonstrators then marched north toward the Planeta hotel, which is located not far from the site of last week's rally, which was unprecedented in its size. The protest has remained peaceful, with police monitoring the situation. Ahead of the march, authorities, said they feared 'provocations' during the event.

Facts don't matter - The power of the asserted unknown

Thinking is Forbidden
© Eric Peters Auto
There's an old joke that used to be funny about the shyster lawyer who asks the defendant, "And when did you stop beating your wife"? It was funny because everyone understood (because people could think, once) that the lawyer was a shyster . . . because the poor man hadn't ever beaten his wife.

It's not funny anymore because millions of people can't think anymore; do not see that they are being shystered by the Gesundheitsfuhrers and the Hyena Media when it comes to assertions about the WuFlu.

The latest such follow on the heels of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, where hundreds of thousands of Americans didn't imitate Michael Jackson. Didn't wear gloves or Face Diapers; didn't leap back in fear of proximity; they slapped backs and had fun - face to face.

In your face to the Gesundheitsfuhrers who have been turning America into a depressing and tyrannical sickness gulag by spreading fear about a sickness that presents no more threat to 99.5-plus percent of the public than the ordinary flu and less of a threat to 100 percent of the population than medical malpractice (which is credited with about 250,000 needless deaths each year) or obesity (millions) .

A fact - not an assertion.

But the Gesundheitsfuhrers cannot abide the facts because they are a threat - to the power of the Gesundheitsfuhrers, which has become practically limitless. The facts must be shouted down by . . . assertions, which have emotional power over the fearful and unreasoning.

Who feel rather than think - and seem to like feeling afraid (a subject for another column).

The joy of an illegal rave!

Every time I read that Britain's anti-coronavirus measures are being jeopardised by a 'small minority of senseless individuals' holding illegal raves, my heart soars. Maybe there's hope for the youth after all!

I'd been beginning to wonder. In my experience, kids of about university age have been priggish and obedient about the government's rules during lockdown. 'Why can't they just get off their faces on drink, drugs and repetitive beats, like my generation did at that age?' I've often mused.

Well, thank goodness that's exactly what some of them are doing. Last month alone, the Metropolitan Police claim there were as many as 500 illegal raves across London. According to the government this represents a threat that deserves ยฃ10,000 fines for the organisers. But if you ask me, it's about time we had a backlash to the grim authoritarianism of the past six months โ€” especially a backlash motivated by pure hedonism rather than politics.

Half of Russians don't want to take world's first Covid-19 vaccine, only 42% willing to try 'Sputnik V'

A majority of Russians don't want to be vaccinated against coronavirus, according to a brand-new survey, which showed only 42 percent of the country wants to be immunized with the homegrown 'Sputnik V' formula, unveiled last week.

On August 11, Russia's president Vladimir Putin announced that the country had registered the world's first Covid-19 vaccine. Developed by Moscow's Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, the vaccine will be available to the general public from January 2021, but is to be offered to teachers and medical workers first. The process of creating the vaccine has been criticized by some Western countries, who claim that the speed of the development means it hasn't yet been proven safe.

When asked whether they are ready to take Sputnik V, 42 percent of respondents said yes, with 52 percent saying no. The survey was conducted by WCIOM, a Russian state-owned pollster.

Nursing homes were bullied into accepting Covid-19 patients

Nursing homes were pressured into accepting patients with coronavirus while simultaneously being refused treatment for residents by hospitals and GPs, according to research.

A report by the Queen's Nursing Institute (QNI) found homes were told hospitals had a blanket "no admissions" policy at the height of the pandemic.

The QNI, a charity which focuses on the improvement of nursing care of people in their own home, found care home residents were regularly refused treatment in April and May. Published by the Independent, the research found GPs and local managers in some homes had placed unlawful do not resuscitate orders on residents.

The survey of nurses and managers in 163 care homes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland found 56% said their physical and mental health had suffered due to the stress of the pandemic.

Seventy homes, 43% of those surveyed, said they had received a patient discharged from hospital during March or April that had not been tested for the virus. A fifth said they had received a patient discharged from hospital who was Covid-19 positive.
