The following is also from the previous article by the same author.
Dr Mike Yeadon: experienced life sciences R&D professional
There is no reason for me to be saying the things I do, other than that I believe them to be true.
I am the most highly- and broadly-qualified scientist (32y in commercial R&D)speaking out about this alleged fraud.
I have no financial or other conflicts of interest, unlike most of those who I assert are deceiving the public, everywhere.
I hugely enjoyed my years with Pfizer. They were a good employer and I left on excellent terms as they shuttered their UK R&D base.
Evidence of this is that I formed a business partnership with Pfizer the year after I left (2012) and we worked together on an ultimately successful venture, which concluded profitably for all in 2017.
I have never campaigned for or against anything in my life, and I have never made public comment on anything outside the narrow confines of my professional roles, prior to covid19.
Professional profile:
-Chief Scientific Advisor to America’s Frontline Doctors & to the Truth For Health Foundation.
-former founder and CEO of Ziarco, a biotech acquired by Novartis (2017).
‘The purpose of this document is to demonstrate that all of the key narrative points about the virus & the measures imposed are incorrect. Given the sources of these points are scientists, doctors and public health officials, they are not simply mistaken. Instead, they have lied in order to mislead. I believe the motivations of those who I call the perpetrators become clear, once it is understood internalised that the entire event is based on lies. In recent days, news is breaking that antibodies are present in European blood banks from 2019. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1503112014700285953.html The implications are enormous.
In the first three months of the covid event, I started noticing senior scientific & medical advisors on UK television say things which I found disturbing. Hard to put my finger on the specifics, but they included remarks like “because this is a new virus, there won’t be any immunity in the population”, “everyone is vulnerable” and “in view of the very high lethality of the virus, we are exploring how best to protect the population”. I had been reading extensively about the apparent spread of SARS-CoV-2 in China and beyond, and had already arrived at a number of important conclusions. Essentially, I was sure that, objectively, we weren’t going to experience a major event, based on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, but what was happening was that, in my view, senior people were acting a lot more frightened than seemed appropriate.
It was with this heightened interest that I began close examination of all aspects of the alleged pandemic. I suspected something very bad was happening when the Imperial College (Neil Ferguson) modelling paper was released. This claimed that over 500,000 people in UK would die unless severe “measures” were put in place. Ferguson had over-projected all of the last five disease-related emergencies in UK, and had been responsible for the destruction of the beef herd through modelling spread of foot & mouth disease. I had been reading around all sorts of “non-pharmaceutical interventions” (NPIs) and what this had taught me was that there was absolutely no experimental literature around any of those being spoken of, except masks, which were clearly ineffective in blocking respiratory virus transmission. The non-experts in main media drew on a very limited group of experts and I noticed that none were immunologists.
I had in parallel watched the evolving scene in Sweden & was pleased to note that their chief epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, seemed to know what he was doing & had dismissed the panic. I knew he’d been the deputy of Johan Gieseke, his predecessor, who was still around in an emeritus role. Gieseke was also reassuringly calm.
The final straw was when on March 23 2020, the British prime minister initiated the first “lockdown”. This was wholly without precedent. I knew Sweden had rejected them as wholly unnecessary & also extremely damaging. From that day forward, the team from the UK strategic advisory group for emergencies (SAGE) put up one or more members every day to appear alongside the prime minister or the health minister.
These press conferences were meandering affairs and it wasn’t clear what purpose they had. The questions asked never sought to place things on context, but instead to always explore the outer edges of possible outcomes and then follow up remarks that we didn’t seem adequately prepared. In retrospect, I think the aim was to make them the only “must watch” thing on TV and with such a large, captive audience, a form of fear-based hypnosis was instigated. We were much later informed by Matias Desmet that this was indeed the aim, and this process is called “mass formation”. https://rokfin.com/stream/9705/Foreign-Agents-10–Covid-and-Mass-Hypnosis
As soon as lockdown was initiated, the focus turned full force onto mass testing, especially testing people without symptoms. I knew this didn’t make any sense, because if a large enough number of people are tested daily, without knowledge of the false positive rate, we would certainly very quickly be panicked into thinking there were lots of people walking around with the virus, unaware they had it and allegedly spreading it to others. Once lockdown was in place, in addition to testing, the press conferences focused on numbers in hospital, numbers on ventilators and ultimately the daily deaths “with covid”. Treatments and improved lifestyle were never spoken of. The first lockdown lasted 12 weeks, with most office staff told to ‘work from home’ while being paid ‘furlough’ (a word never before used in Britain). The “fear porn” continued all the way into high summer, long after daily covid deaths had reached approximately zero, and the introduction of mandatory masking in all public areas in the heat of summer, when they had never been required before, was the last straw for me. It was all theatre and I set out to investigate a couple of core concepts: the “PCR test” and “asymptomatic transmission”. I’m embarrassed to say it wasn’t until the autumn of 2020 that I had clear in my mind, with mounting horror, that the entire event, if not completely manufactured, as being grossly exaggerated, with the intent of deceiving the entire “liberal democratic West”. Scores of countries were economically being squeezed to death. I knew that from a financial perspective, borrowing or printing enough money to subsidize tens of millions to remain as home could not be long sustained without destroying the sovereign currency. Strangely, exchange rates didn’t move much, another clue that powerful forces were managing this event as well as its consequences. Around this time, country leaders started talking about “Build Back Better” and Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset book appeared.
Around this time, I developed the idea of “The covid lies”. It seemed to me that everything we had been told about the virus wasn’t true and also that all the NPIs imposed upon us couldn’t work and so were for nothing more than show. Anyone challenging the dominant narrative was attacked, smeared, censored and cancelled on social media and no reasonable and independent voices were ever seen or heard on TV and radio.
In the second half of the year, the conversation turned to the oncoming vaccines. Having spent 32 years in pharmaceutical R&D, I knew what we were being told was just lies. Its not possible to bypass a dozen years of careful work or to compress it into a few months. What was to emerge was almost certain, to my mind, to be very dangerous. I read my way into this area, and grew more concerned still.
In what follows, I ONLY isolate the major narrative points themselves and show that none of them are true. So not just a little lying here and there. No, the entire construct was false. I will describe all the main ones. After that, I’ll show how they were able to get away with it.
All of it was lies. Not mistakes. Many politicians repeated others’ lines & might offer as defence that they relied on experts to inform them. However, those who promoted them from the public health departments knew they were untrue. What possible motive might there have been to create this state of fear? Who must have been involved to have granted authorisation to do it?
The question of motive has to arise. I have tried to find benign explanations & failed to do so. The conclusions I’m drawn to logically make very disturbing reading. I look forward to discussing this with you and indeed anyone. It’s unlikely I am correct on every point. What I am sure of is that the overall picture is one of extreme deception and a highly-organised fraud. I am not alone in reaching this view. This author steps through what they would do in order to take over the world through a simultaneous “coup d’etat” of the liberal democracies. https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/if-i-were-going-to-conquer-you
However, I’m the ONLY former executive from big pharma R&D anywhere in the world speaking out. I’ve invested 2y pro bono in identifying the key elements of the fraud, in the sincere hope I can connect with upright individuals who can help bring this to wider attention and ultimately, to a halt and to justice. I can describe a global fraud operating for two years at tremendous cost in lives, the economy and the very structure of human societies can only be undertaken by powerful people, organised for a purpose which is not to the benefit of ordinary people.
Best wishes and thanks for reading,
Mike
Ps: though not all central, there is a large number of ancillary points and I have assembled a few here:
On what basis were “cases” determined purely by the result of one test, much disputed as to it’s appropriateness? The Nobel prize winning inventor of the test, Dr Kary Mullis stated definitively that PCR must not be used to diagnose viral illnesses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXm9kAhNj-4
A death from any cause, within 28 days of a positive test for SARS-CoV-2, is recorded as a “covid death”. Its absurd and we have never assigned cause of death like this before, ever. The effect of untrustworthy PCR tests and the arbitrary assignment of a dubious positive as somehow causative of death has been a very effective way to fool and frighten people. Most do not know that there are literally scores of viruses which can infect human airways, some of which in elderly and infirm people, can give rise to severe illness, even common cold viruses.
Hospital treatment protocols, where I have explored them, look designed to kill. In UK, the pathway starts with everyone being tested with untrustworthy PCR tests and these are applied repeatedly for an in-patient. Given 2% of admissions end in a hospital death, repeated poor testing guarantees a lot of “covid deaths”. A patient “diagnosed” as positive covid is placed in isolation and visitors not allowed until they are moribund. A standard treatment involves intravenous midazolam and morphine from a syringe driver, at doses up to 10x greater than advisable for a patient capable of breathing unaided. This often results in respiratory failure and either immediate death or mechanical ventilation, accompanied by withdrawal of all care, and of course they then expire. Its murder. Again, in UK, we have documentary evidence that the UK NHS stockpiled a year’s supply of midazolam, by ordering it normally, but banning 2019 prescriptions. In no more than two months in 2020, the entire supply was exhausted by April, and another year’s supply was bulk purchased from a generics company in France, cleaning out their stock. Something similar occurred in US hospitals, with ramped cash bonuses for each stage passed, up to & including mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation is rarely appropriate, because covid19 is NOT an obstructive lung disorder. Blood oxygen desaturation is best addressed using non-invasive masks with elevated oxygen levels. We tried this in Italy in Feb 2020 and they then ceased mechanical ventilation within a week, so stark were the differences in outcomes (most ventilated patients died, most masked patients survived). Apparently, the method of treatment they’d been given from “colleagues in Wuhan” was what they called “the Wuhan protocol”. In this, the guidance was that the sooner they sedated & ventilated an agitated patient, the better their chances. This was a lie. Panicked patients needed anxiolytics and an oxygen mask, but they were instead killed.
I have been incensed by the mis-use of novel, experimental “vaccines” in recovered individuals (they are immune & risks of adverse events are greatly increased, because the body is already poised to attack any cells expressing spike protein). They are also used in pregnant women, who are not at greatly elevated risks from covid19, because they tend to be young and healthy. We’ve NEVER approved the use of experimental agents in pregnant women since thalidomide (1956-62), certainly without “reproductive toxicology”. None of the vaccines have a completed “reprotox package”. I filed a short, expert opinion to court with AFLDS on this topic. {insert} Finally, the mis-use of these agents in healthy children without question has reverse risk/benefit: they kill far more than the virus could. The whole things stinks of a purpose different from public health, because if it was a legitimate public health effort, we definitely would NOT do any of these things. Officials lied on the national broadcaster, such as the BBC, smearing people like me, who had written the world’s first treatise, explaining some of our concerns. Note that this petition was co-authored by Dr Wolfgang Wodarg, the public health doctor & minor politician who stopped the fraudulent “swine flu pandemic” in 2009. https://dryburgh.com/mike-yeadon-coronavirus-vaccine-safety-concerns-petition/
Next, two strange occurrences. First, the WHO altered the definition of “immunity”, to exclude “natural immunity”. (https://peterlegyel.wordpress.com/2021/01/15/who-changes-definition-of-herd-immunity/). That meant that only vaccination could accomplish the goal. They eventually changed this back, but for many, the damage was done and non-experts didn’t trust natural immunity, even though it is superior to that from vaccination, because the body has been exposed to all parts of the virus and will therefore respond to any part of it if reinfected. Next, the WHO changed the definition of “pandemic”, which previously meant the simultaneously spreading across many countries of a pathogen, causing many cases and deaths. It was changed to eliminate the need for many deaths (see 45min 50 sec Dr Wolfgang Wodarg, interviewed on UK TV in 2010 after the exaggerated swine flu pandemic, which I now believe was something of a rehearsal for the 2020 covid19 pandemic): https://www.expandingawarenessrelations.com/tag/wolfgang/). This is a critical point, because PCR can be designed against any pathogen and protocols adopted such that a large number of false positives appear. This grants bad actors the ability relatively easily to create the illusion of a pandemic, almost to order. Many people simply don’t believe experts when they talk of “very high fraction of positive test results being false positives”. I assure you there have genuinely been a number of events where the entire suspected epidemic was an illusion, and 100% of positives were false positives. Here is an example which, when I first read it, get me a crawling sensation. I wonder if it was this genuine event that birthed the method for exaggerating (or even fully faking) a pandemic in which are currently living. https://silview.media/2020/12/26/nyt-2007-faith-in-quick-test-leads-to-epidemic-that-wasnt/
I noticed early on that Gates said “we won’t return to normal until pretty much the whole planet has been vaccinated”. This is a bizarre statement from a person with no medical or scientific training. It is never necessary to vaccinate the entire population, when only the elderly and infirm are at serious risk of death if infected. Note that the median age of deaths from / with covid was the same or even older than the median age of death due to all causes. Blair insisted that vaccine passports would be essential to confidence. Again, absurd, especially once we learned that these vaccines do not prevent transmission. Once this became clear, the case for coerced vaccination vanished and this is the present position. Yet, my unvaccinated relatives may not enter the US. The safest person to be around, if you fear infection, isn’t a vaccinated person, but a person who is fit and well, with no respiratory symptoms.
The practise of “boosting”, giving people dose after dose of poorly-designed agent, ostensibly to reinforce their immunity, has no immunological basis. No genuine immunity wanes in a few months, sometimes even a few weeks. The perpetrators have exploited the public’s understanding of the annual influenza vaccine and somehow normalised something that is dangerous and ineffective. I also noticed that early on, in discussing immunity, antibodies were the discussion topic. T-cells were an “extremist plot”. This is another absurdity. I can assemble expert witnesses who will attest alongside me that blood-based antibodies are relatively unimportant, potentially irrelevant to infection by respiratory viruses. This is because the virus infects the air side of the airways and blood-based antibodies cannot leave the blood and enter this “compartment”. Blood antibodies and respiratory viruses never meet except under unusual circumstances. On the contrary, T-cells leave the blood and migrate through infected airway tissue, removing infected cells.
Frighteningly prescient testimony from a former WHO staffer, Jane Burgermeister, in 2010. Her understanding was that respiratory virus pandemics will be used to force near universal vaccination and that this had sinister motives. https://brandnewtube.com/watch/jane-bu-rgermeister-forced-vax-warning-february-15-2010_Con7FXMOCvgW8Or.html I dismissed this the first time I saw it. Many of us turn away instinctively from evil because we cannot or do not want to believe that other humans are capable of that which our logic tells us is happening. I now no longer reject it. It fits far too well with the totally independent Paul Schreyer documentary.
While Australia is closing down its coal fire powered stations for solar and wind Net Zero ‘Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced Australia will provide further support for Ukraine as they continue to resist Russia’s invasion.
Speaking on Sunday the Prime Minister said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had asked for more Australian assistance.
“In our discussions of the last couple of weeks they have made requests for more arms, for more humanitarian support,” he said.
“They have also asked us for our coal to assist help power their resistance to help them to deal with the energy situation and needs in their own country, and so that is exactly what we are going to do.”
Mr Morrison announced Australia would answer Mr Zelensky’s calls by providing an additional $21 million in military assistance, an additional $30 million in urgent humanitarian assistance and 70,000 tonnes of thermal coal.
The military assistance will include ammunition, body armour and military equipment while the coal has been mined in Australia and will “help power up their resistance”.
If you live in Australia you still cannot obtain Ivermectin but ‘The New Hampshire House of Representatives has voted to make Ivermectin available at any pharmacy that wants to distribute this drug even without a prescription. It will likely pass the Senate and become law.
It’s a hugely positive breakthrough for medical and pharmaceutical freedom. It’s only tragic that this was not the situation two years ago. The doctors the world over who have rallied behind this treatment believe that many lives might have been saved. If one state in the Northeast had at least made the option available, outcomes might have been very different.
The Epoch Timesreports that “Similar bills are pending legislative approval in Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana, Arizona, and Alaska.”
Magnificent! What’s key here is the concept of human choice.
The irony is very bitter: the vaccine mandates have been universal and people have lost careers for refusing or been rejected for participation in public life. People were forced to get shots of doubtful efficacy in most cases that many people did not want or because they did not see the need and feared their side effects.
Meanwhile, a drug they would have chosen to take was denied to them, again by force, and physicians who believed they were saving lives had their licenses taken away for using their professional discretion.
For a good part of last year, many people in the world could freely buy Ivermectin, a generic drug that at least 8 quality studies have shown to be an effective treatment for Covid-19. It has long been part of the alternative treatment protocol for Covid since it was first tried in early 2020, but never recommended by the FDA, CDC, or NIH. At some point, the CDC was tweeting denunciations of it, somehow with the implication that this treatment was distracting from the main push of vaccine fanaticism.
A very strange political war broke out in the US over the drug, however, such that people’s acceptance or rejection of it somehow signaled political loyalties – an absurdist example of how politicized the entire pandemic became. In the end, it works well or does not: biology does not care about party affiliation.
Why did this happen? There are theories. It’s generic. It’s cheap. It’s widely available. Therefore the financial interest did not favor it. Another theory is that early talk of ways to live rationally and humanely with Covid would have distracted from the main and completely implausible message of lockdowns and then mandates: the goal of everyone should be to restructure life to avoid the bug no matter what.
In most parts of Central and Latin America, plus India and Eastern Europe, the drug was freely available to anyone. And the results are suggestively positive – though it would take a specialist fully to sort through all the noise in the data. The experience of on-the-ground Covid doctors, once fully free to prescribe what they believe is best, was positive from many reports.
In the US, however, the situation was very different. Getting a prescription was hard enough. In some states, getting it filled was nearly impossible. You would get a blank stare and a negative head shake from the pharmacist. As a result, the generic became in high demand in gray markets, with people returning from Mexico with stashes and also ordering from abroad.
The situation became utterly bizarre. Meanwhile, the NIH itself, which is supposed to promote randomized trials of repurposed drugs because major manufacturers have no incentive to do so, was in no rush to find out anything about its effectiveness. The NIH’s major study of repurposed drugs is due to show results more than a year from today.
Therapeutics in general have been woefully neglected throughout the pandemic. There was no “warp speed” for them. The NIH had all of February 2020 to kick off the investigations. But this apparently did not happen. People were not only denied access to timely testing but also to basic information about what to do if you got sick! As for ventilators, the waste and mess there deserves an article of its own.
Meanwhile, to get the drug, people had to find alternative paths. The group Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance was formed to find ways around the restrictions. In the interest of saving lives during a pandemic! The group MyFreeDoctor.com formed to get people the therapeutics they needed based on symptoms and checks and contacts with various pharmacists around the country who saw this as a true emergency. They asked only for contributions, which were entirely optional.
The doctors who have rallied around this drug as part of a full suite of therapeutics estimate that tens or hundreds of thousands of lives might have been saved. As a complete nonspecialist in this area, I have no idea if this is correct. But we do know that the physicians who held out, stuck to their guns against all smears, and figured out a way to serve their patients, even against regulatory attacks, became models of courage.
One night early in January 2022, I caught up with Dr. Pierre Kory of New York, who sounded absolutely exhausted on the phone. He had been working for 18 hours daily, seven days per week, to see patients and take care of needs with precision and deep care, even as he had faced unrelenting attacks. No question of what drove him and does still: the desperate desire to carry out his vocation to save lives and improve public health.
Meanwhile, on the other side of this stands the CDC, NIH, and HHS. The HHS has actually just produced something of a comic book (though probably not intended as such) designed to train people to recognize “misinformation.” It has no specifics and contains no scientific studies or claims. Instead, it is page after page of hint, hint, nudge nudge. In particular, I was struck by the following frames, which seem directed precisely against all those doctors and organizations that worked so hard during the pandemic to help people.
You are welcome to peruse the entire document, the main message of which is that the government is always correct, always knows the most science at the time, while front-line doctors with experience are very likely quacks, crazies, or ruthless profiteers.
Sometimes it seems like the people who produce such propaganda are forever attempting to live in the world of the movie Contagion, where every alternative treatment is a scam promoted by a corrupt “blogger” and where the CDC knows all. This cartoon is a smear in every way.
Yet even now, after two years of incontrovertible proof of the gigantic age plus health disparity in Covid vulnerability to severe outcomes, after massive demographic data the world over that is highly consistent, Jen Psaki just today said during a press conference that “we don’t know” that Covid affects older people more than young people.
Such is the state of science at the highest levels. The deliberate cultivation of confusion is national policy. And these are the people we are supposed to trust?
This battle is much larger than the legal status of Ivermectin. That’s just one symbol. What’s really at stake here is the idea of medical freedom itself. And freedom is a precondition for scientific inquiry and the search for the truth. It is also essential for public health. This is one of many lessons of the disastrously botched pandemic.
‘“To prevent World War III and an attack on Russia with nuclear weapons, the Russian government decided to neutralize the threat and restore order in Ukraine” – former Ukrainian P.M. Azarov
A former Prime Minister of Ukraine, Nikolai Azarov, released a message on Facebook claiming that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was planning a nuclear attack on Russia. In response to their potential attack, Russia decided to stop the situation and restore order in Ukraine.
“NATO wanted to unleash a third world war by using nuclear weapons against Russia,” Azarov stated. “Since December 2021, Russia has been receiving information about NATO plans to deploy four military brigades (2 land, one navy, one air) on the territory of Ukraine.” One of those brigades could carry nuclear warheads.
Personally, it is very hard to believe the leaders in the West anymore. Putin is bad, no doubt, but is Biden and Australia’s Morrison trust worthy? Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
This was the recent pagan devilish smoking ceremony at the opening of a new cancer centre here in regional Australia. The man on the left is a Federal politician partaking in this pagan ceremony. Do these politicians believe this or are they just appeasing the aboriginals? So, what is a smoking ceremony? ‘A smoking ceremony is a traditional Aboriginal custom which involves burning native plants just enough to produce smoke. The smoke will cleanse the area and ward off bad spirits from the people and the land.’https://gumaraa.com.au/traditional-aboriginal-smoking-ceremony/

Money down the toilet and the Government just shovels more into it! ‘Don’t expect Australia’s peak science body to come up with a vaccine against ‘wokeness’. They are, themselves, riddled with it.
Last week, the CSIRO announced it was abandoning science to chase the pot of gender confusion at the end of the LGBTQ+ rainbow – a case of spending taxpayer gold in pursuit of the fools’ kind.
In an announcement timed to coincide with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, our Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation said it would be offering staff extra leave for ‘gender reassignment’ surgery.
Our premier science organisation no longer regards gender as a fixed biological reality. Instead, gender is something assigned at birth – often incorrectly, as it so happens – but that can be ‘reassigned’ with a surgeon’s knife and the state-approved adjustment to birth certificates.
While telling the public to ‘follow the science’, our scientific community has decided to follow Caitlyn Jenner.
So-called ‘experts’ tell us that ‘the science is settled’ on climate change, but are happy to do a bit of casual re-writing on the basics of biology.
I’m sure the irony isn’t lost on people demonised for questioning ‘climate science’.
In particular, the CSIRO’s Gender Affirmation policy entitles staff to take time off for medical appointments before and after surgery, and to organise new birth certificates. This is probably annoying for staff who would like extra time off for non-woke activities.
All staff are to be given ‘diversity training’ to make the CSIRO more welcoming for non-binary, trans, and gender-diverse team members.
Finally, CSIRO computer software will be updated to allow researchers to display their preferred pronouns.
It’s all very sciencey.
CSIRO spokesman Chris Gerbing boasted that the Australian government agency responsible for scientific research had given staff permission to ‘be themselves at work’. The public, who are bankrolling the CSIRO, would probably rather its scientists knuckle down and get some work done.
Imagine what a ghastly work environment the CSIRO used to be before the Gender Affirmation Policy came into effect… All those un-affirmed genders out there, forced to walk the corridors and do research without ‘being themselves’. After all, an employer’s chief role is to continuously affirm the gender and sexual preferences of their staff, is it not? Or was it to not ask personal questions?
The Pride@CSIRO Network Leadership, which among other things exists to identify LGBTQI+ staff and their allies, claimed ‘diversity of thought is crucial to doing impactful science’.
‘Dr. Francis Collins, former NIH Director and current “science advisor” to Joe Biden, has long proclaimed himself and Dr. Anthony Fauci as “not political figures.” But newly leaked audio, obtained by The Daily Wire’s Meg Basham, tells a far different story.
The audio was taken on October 26th, 2021 at an event hosted by Christianity Today in conjunction with the Institute of Politics (a leftwing organization founded by David Axelrod). Russell Moore, a favorite among socially left-leaning “evangelicals” like David French and Beth Moore, conducted the interview portion that included Collins.
What followed was the mocking of Christians, the dismissal of individual rights, and false assertions about the legalities involved with vaccine mandates. But rest assured, none of this was political per Collins’ self-description.
“The US government does have the authority to mandate vaccinations if there is an outbreak that is threatening people, because it’s not just about you, it’s about the people you’re going to infect,” Collins claimed, even though science journals were already reporting by that point that vaccinated people were just as likely to spread the then-dominant Delta variant as those who were unvaccinated.
Collins went on to ask rhetorically, “Do [mandates] convince people who otherwise wouldn’t get them?” He answered himself, “Oh yeah, especially if it means losing your job.”
Perhaps Collins should opine less on legal issues because that turned out to be objectively false. As most are aware, the Supreme Court ended up striking down the Biden administration’s federal vaccine mandate. Collins tried to cite Jacobson vs. Massachusetts, a 1905 case that involved state-level mandates, in the interview, again showing his lack of knowledge of the topic. The lack of empathy shown to those losing their jobs over a mandate that was scientifically pointless (everyone spreads COVID) is also striking.
‘Fast food chain Pizza Hut has produced a training program for teachers that claims to “promote awareness, respect, and empathy for different lived experiencing,” arguing that “everyone has as racial identity.”
In one pamphlet produced by the program, toddlers express racist views, arguing that “Children as young as three-years-old begin to show evidence of societal messages affecting how they feel about themselves or their group identity — this is the beginning of internalized superiority or internalized oppression.”
The program, developed by Pizza Hut and First Book, is a “series of resources designed to support educators in helping their students engage in effective, courageous conversations about race and social justice,” and boasts that it is “informed by leading anti-bias, antiracist (ABAR) experts.”
The guide aims to teach educators that “racism exists within and beyond schools and communities of learning,” arguing that “the myth of racial hierarchy remains a dominant part of America’s culture.”
“Acts of violence against black communities are often identified on social media by the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter,” the program suggests.
As detailed by Daily Wire, a pamphlet titled “Empowering Educators: A Guidebook on Race and Racism” claims that “The Empowering Educators Guidebook provides support for educators seeking to increase their personal awareness of race and racism, as well as direction on how to ground learning environments through inclusive curriculum and diverse, affirming literature.”
The Daily Wire reports:
The pamphlet refers to America’s history of systemic racism as it talks about the death of George Floyd: “Floyd’s murder, along with other acts of violence against Black men and women leading up to and after his death, spurred global protests as America continues to reckon with its history of police brutality and systemic racism.”
It continues by arguing, “Many antiracist experts note that racism in America is not perpetuated by ‘bad’ people. Rather, racism is maintained by laws, policies, and normalized practices that are upheld consciously and unconsciously by those who knowingly or unknowingly benefit from them,” adding, “Although many people don’t engage in individual acts of racism, they still benefit from racist policies, practices, and social norms.”
It champions the “reality” of intersectionality, writing, “A person who is Black and female, for example, experiences discrimination and disadvantage differently than a person who is White and female. This concept of intersectionality was coined in 1989 by Dr. Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw. She describes how a person’s social identities such as race, class, and gender coincide to create overlapping systems of disadvantage. When developing your awareness, it is important to acknowledge this reality for students, families, and colleagues.”‘https://www.rebelnews.com/pizza_hut_urges_teachers_to_watch_out_for_racist_toddlers?utm_campaign=rb_03_08_2022&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel
‘After a week of torrential rain and floods, the Wyong SES put out a call to the community through its Facebook page asking for volunteers to help fill sandbags for desperate residents.
What’s being referred to as a ‘one in a thousand-year’ weather event has meant all hands on deck are called on to pitch in.
Well, not quite.
Adding to the grief for local SES operators was a decision by the NSW state government and SES leadership to only allow fully vaccinated members of the community to roll up their sleeves and fill the sandbags.
“At a unit level that’s nothing to do with us, we just cop all the flak from the people who have been harassing us on Facebook and sending us abusive messages,” said Tim Keown, Wyong SES Deputy Unit Commander.
“We’ve been doing massive sandbag operations, a couple of hundred tonnes of sand has gone out into the community and we’ve had about 2,500 requests for assistance right across the central coast between Wyong and Gosford.“
Frustrated locals across the flood-affected regions of NSW have taken to social media to express their disbelief that, in a time of genuine crisis in their community and despite being willing and capable, they’re not allowed to help.
The people impacted by the disaster I talked to on the streets didn’t appear to have any issues if an unvaccinated person were to help them out in their time of need.
“Volunteers are as rare as hen’s teeth and if someone is prepared I don’t care if they’ve been vaxxed or not,” said one local I talked to.
“It wouldn’t worry me,” said another. “We’re kind of passed all that aren’t we, really? “I couldn’t care less.” said a third.
With even more wild weather forecast to hit some of the same regions in the coming days and weeks, it puts the focus back on the NSW’s leadership to address the issues at hand.
