Nearly yearly, it appears a pandemic is overestimated. I’d argue that is as a result of:
• They provide federal companies (e.g., the CDC) a option to justify their necessity and get Congressional funding.
• The media thrives off of hooking the general public by means of concern and appeasing its sponsors (e.g., the pharmaceutical trade).
• It sustains a biodefense trade that makes use of concern to get some huge cash (e.g., 27.7 billion {dollars} in 20231) to “stop” pandemics.
• Tackling most of the actual well being points dealing with our nation requires confronting the vested pursuits accountable for them and addressing the underlying causes of persistent sicknesses within the nation. In distinction, going to warfare towards a illness is way simpler and receives minimal pushback however permits the federal government to current the facade of safeguarding our well being.
As such, we’ll steadily see a myriad of doubtful pandemic preventatives be pushed on us2 (e.g., the mass slaughter of livestock, the most recent “emergency” vaccine, or ineffective and unsafe antivirals like Tamiflu). Nonetheless regardless of the pandemic failing to materialize or the preventatives failing to work, nobody remembers, and earlier than lengthy the cycle begins anew.
Biodefense
In a earlier article, I mentioned how the biodefense trade repeatedly cultivates bioweapons in labs to “shield” us from them. Earlier than COVID-19, this trade had been underneath nice scrutiny as many throughout the scientific neighborhood have been apprehensive its dangerous actions may result in a catastrophic lab leak.
Nonetheless, as soon as SARS-CoV-2 leaked, your complete scientific institution selected to double down on this analysis and label any insinuation lab leaks may happen “a conspiracy principle” or “a hazard to science.”
Word: This characterizes Peter Hotez, who in 2012 secured a 6.1 million grant3 from the NIH to develop a SARS vaccine with the said intention of responding to any “unintentional launch from a laboratory,”4 a few of which was then used to fund gain-of-function analysis carried out by the chief of the Wuhan lab in 2017,5 however after individuals turned conscious of the 2019 lab leak, Hotez switched to denying lab leaks and attacking those that mentioned them.
These leaks are alarmingly frequent and remarkably, the trade has not addressed it, as its funding is contingent on a risk persevering with to exist (quite than it being eradicated). Moreover, many of those lab leaks are fairly consequential comparable to:
• In 1950, the U.S. Navy covertly sprayed “innocent” micro organism within the San Francisco Bay Space, inflicting infections and fatalities. These micro organism then turned endemic within the space.6
• The Cambridge Working Group estimated in 2014 that harmful lab leaks happen, on common, twice every week within the U.S. alone, and by 2018 this quantity had risen to a mean of 4 instances per week.7
• Quite a few deadly lab leaks involving smallpox and anthrax occurred within the U.S., U.Okay., and Soviet Union.8
• Lyme illness rising subsequent to a U.S. authorities facility that was weaponizing the identical micro organism.9
• The 1977 H1N1 influenza pandemic being traced again to a lab leak.10
• The 2001 Anthrax assaults within the U.S. being linked to a weaponized pressure discovered solely in bioweapons labs.11
• Quite a few SARS lab leaks occurring since 2002,12 a few of which led to broader outbreaks (and therefore why Hotez utilized for his vaccine grant).
• Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) really rising from chimpanzee analysis actions.13
• Quite a few disastrous veterinary pandemics having emerged from leaks.14
• Important proof suggests the present fowl flu pandemic originated from a USDA lab leak.
Word: A extra detailed record of consequential lab leaks might be discovered right here.
Vivisection
One of many main sources of maximum and pointless animal cruelty is the animal analysis trade, which sacrifices over 100 million animals annually,15 steadily in horrific ways in which haven’t any scientific worth in anyway.
Vivisection (first utilized in 1707) describes the apply of chopping open animals with a central nervous system and has been integral to biomedical science. Since this was fairly merciless, divided opinions emerged.
One college believed medical science have to be goal, rational, and dispassionate so it was unethical to be squeamish or sentimental about hurting aware animals if that “superior medical science,” whereas the opposite believed there was no moral justification for information gained from vivisection — highlighting the divide in drugs between medical doctors being technicians who inflicted “crucial therapies on sufferers” whatever the struggling it brought on and medical doctors being compassionate healers who made an effort to attach with their sufferers and their values.
Whereas vivisection gained prominence within the 1800s, its advocates have been so merciless they brought on a widespread motion towards it to emerge and quite a few animal welfare legal guidelines to be handed.16,17 Nonetheless, vivisection endured (with a lot of its medical advocates holding the identical contempt in direction of the “anti-vivisectionists” as we see now directed at “anti-vaxxers”) and the opposition to it has turn out to be a forgotten chapter in our historical past.
This in flip touches upon one of the necessary factors these activists raised — most of the merciless (and sometimes pointless) practices in fashionable drugs arose from the mentality that gave rise to vivisection, so case might be made it’s in our personal curiosity to remove this malignant basis fashionable drugs rests upon.
Harmful and Wasteful Spending
Following the COVID-19 lab leak, the White Coat Waste Venture (WCW) found an efficient option to cease vivisectionist practices by highlighting not solely the cruelty concerned but in addition how a lot cash was being wasted on that dangerous analysis. Consequently, WCW has repeatedly gotten many tales to go viral (e.g., Fauci spending hundreds of thousands on research the place beagles have been restrained in order that they could possibly be eaten alive by sandflies18).
WCW’s work touches on a key level — the first purpose a lot of this analysis happens is so that everybody can feed off the grants for it, not as a result of it provides any worth to society. For instance I lately coated:
• A Colorado College establishing a bat lab to check harmful infectious illnesses that has been extensively protested by the neighborhood (as they don’t need a Wuhan of their backdoor — significantly since FOIA paperwork confirmed accidents occurred there one to a few instances a month).
Nonetheless, since that College has obtained 393 million {dollars} from the NIH since 201419 and a 6.7 million greenback NIH grant20 for the lab, Colorado’s authorities has shut down all makes an attempt to cease the lab.
• Hawaii (significantly Maui) deploying billions of lab-modified mosquitoes (that go away disagreeable bites21) to scale back mosquito populations, regardless of there being no proof this method works or is protected for the ecosystem. Like Colorado, regardless of widespread protest (and lawsuits) towards it, Hawaii’s authorities has shut down all makes an attempt to cease this system as over 33 million {dollars} in federal grants are financing it.22,23,24
Luckily, now that D.O.G.E. is auditing the U.S. authorities’s spending, many of those wasteful (or fraudulent) grants are being uncovered, and it’s fairly possible this harmful analysis will drastically lower (significantly for the reason that NIH simply stopped sponsoring Universities from with the ability to pocket a lot of the funding for themselves25).
Pumping and Dumping Vaccines
The annual flu vaccines have a quite poor observe document as:
• It’s steadily for the “unsuitable” pressure, which past it not working, impairs the immune response to the circulating pressure because the immune system is already locked onto the nonexistent pressure. As such, research have proven flu photographs make you extra prone to catch colds or a flu.
• The prevailing (and sure biased) proof exhibits you must vaccinate round 100 individuals to forestall one minor case of influenza,26 whereas the vaccine doesn’t stop influenza transmission,27 and doesn’t have an effect on influenza hospitalizations or deaths.28
• At greatest, it has prevented influenza charges from growing alongside a rising inhabitants:
Given this poor efficacy, the actual threat of negative effects from the vaccines (e.g., one giant research discovered 37.8% of influenza vaccine recipients with an current coronary heart situation had an hostile response and 1.1% of recipients had a extreme response29), it is fairly questionable if America is making funding shopping for 150 million influenza vaccine doses annually.30
Sadly, one of the frequent grifts on this trade is to hype up the hazard of a brand new illness, then have a brand new biotech firm current a “remedy” (or vaccine) for the illness and provide numerous shares that traders eagerly purchase up (spiking the value).
As soon as this spike occurs, the unique house owners of the Biotech firm will liquidate their current shares (making some huge cash), after which, the inventory usually crashes (because the product doesn’t work).
Word: Lots of the deaths attributed to the flu are possible as a result of different causes, and as I present right here regardless of flu having been the primary focus of the CDC for many years, nobody really is aware of how lethal the flu is.
‘Managing’ Fowl Flu
Like COVID, avian influenza has been managed by mass testing of birds, after which utilizing constructive exams to justify draconian containment actions. But regardless of this abjectly failing (e.g., the present fowl flu has been occurring since 2020), the Biodefense trade is solely asking for extra (e.g., lately Deborah Birx referred to as for us to check all cows for fowl flu).

Since poultry have fewer rights than people, to “cease the unfold” every time fowl flu is suspected to have entered a facility (e.g., as a result of a constructive PCR check), a speedy cull might be carried out, and at this level, 159 million birds (77.5% of which have been egg-laying chickens) have already been culled to cease the present fowl flu.31 Many strongly disagree with this method as:
• The proof that it really works is kind of restricted (e.g., a 2024 systematic evaluation, discovered mass culling is as efficient as merely vaccinating flocks32).
• The prevailing proof exhibits that culling (of each contaminated flocks and people within the neighborhood) can present short-term reductions in fowl flu instances but it surely can’t cease epidemics as wild birds regularly transmit the virus to flocks.33 Conversely, over the long run, it worsens issues because it will increase the genetic susceptibility of the flocks to avian influenza (quite than deciding on for the birds that survived and imparting genetic resistance to the flocks).34
• Animals that aren’t susceptible to fowl flu (e.g., free-range chickens not dwelling in tightly packed indoor buildings) are additionally being culled.
Word: As I present right here, a really robust case might be made that nearly all of the infectious illness deaths vaccines “prevented” have been really as a result of individuals beforehand having atrocious dwelling circumstances.35
• Mass culling is kind of merciless (and reflective of how a lot in the identical means vivisection is commonly favored, veterinary drugs will usually default to easily euthanizing animals).
Word: The federal government has additionally given Moderna nearly a billion {dollars} (176 million final 12 months and 590 million early this 12 months) to develop mRNA fowl flu vaccines (which many People don’t need within the meat they eat).
Addressing Fowl Flu
Presently, the USDA has the authority to cull any herd the place fowl flu is suspected (doing so in an “emergency” method which waives the fundamental moral safeguards that exist to guard animal welfare36) after which partially compensate farmers for the prices of this.
Word: At present, 1.46 billion {dollars} have been spent on culling compensation.37 This USDA cash (which has pretty few strings hooked up) disproportionately went to the biggest agricultural producers whose shares have since soared.38
In distinction, I imagine the next approaches must be significantly thought of.
1. Farmers, particularly these elevating their birds in more healthy circumstances, ought to have the choice to permit fowl flu to comb by means of their flocks and choose for the birds that survive with immunity.
2. There must be monetary incentives to lift birds in cleaner and fewer tightly packed circumstances quite than funneling that cash to the massive firms that preserve their birds in unhealthy circumstances which encourage the introduction and unfold of illness.
3. For over a century, it has been acknowledged that exposing poultry to ultraviolet mild decreased their chance of dying and elevated their productiveness (whereas unnatural synthetic lights usually did the other).39 Likewise, it is well-known that UV mild successfully inactivates numerous pathogens, together with viruses, and in latest days, this method to fowl flu is finally starting to be explored.40
Word: Equally, straightforward to deploy indoor UV lights successfully neutralize viruses41 and had it been deployed, would have safely stopped COVID’s indoor transmission (whereas the pointless lockdowns didn’t).
Treating Viral Infections
For the reason that biodefense and influenza trade revolve across the mythology that viral infections can’t be handled, it’s important to show that lie and the false pillars that maintain it.
Daylight
Daylight is essential for well being (e.g., avoiding the solar is extra lethal than common smoking and quite than inflicting it, daylight prevents deadly cancers). Daylight additionally performs a pivotal position in stopping viral sicknesses. For instance:
• Sunbathing was one of the efficient therapies for the “incurable” 1918 influenza42 and steadily improves colds and the flu.
• Dozens of research over the a long time have proven that vitamin D is more practical than flu photographs at stopping influenza.43
• Sufficient vitamin D was demonstrated to considerably cut back the severity of COVID-1944 and threat of dying from it.45
Word: Whereas vitamin D can enhance viral sicknesses, it’s the simplest as a preventative. As such, it’s essential to take care of enough vitamin D ranges (60 to 80 ng/mL) in the course of the flu season (which happens in periods of decreased daylight). Moreover, whereas supplemental vitamin D is useful, the best advantages happen with vitamin D obtained from daylight.
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UVBI)
If you find yourself uncovered to daylight, as a small quantity enters the bloodstream, the advantages of sunbathing for infections impressed placing UV mild instantly into the physique. UVBI (mentioned intimately right here) produced such dramatic outcomes (e.g., for in any other case deadly infections and extreme autoimmune circumstances) that it quickly unfold by means of America’s hospitals till the AMA blacklisted UVBI and it turned forgotten.
Luckily, physicians continued to make use of it (significantly outdoors of America) and a whole lot of research have since demonstrated its outstanding utility for a myriad of circumstances — together with “incurable” viral sicknesses. In flip, we routinely see UVBI produce speedy and dramatic enhancements for colds and flus (and likewise utilized it all through COVID-19).
Fevers
Fevers dramatically enhance the physique’s skill to battle viral sicknesses. Nonetheless, since fevers are disagreeable, medical take care of viral sicknesses primarily revolves round taking a fever suppressing treatment.
Remarkably, this has been recognized for the reason that 1918 influenza, the place it was noticed that sufferers who took giant doses of aspirin (one of many earliest fever suppressing medicines) have been more likely to die. Likewise, NSAIDs like ibuprofen made sufferers 2.57 instances extra prone to develop extreme pneumonias,46 whereas Tylenol made hospitalized sufferers 3.24 instances extra prone to die from COVID.47 In flip, we have found:
• Appropriately heating the physique is a superb remedy for colds and flus.
• The discomfort one experiences from a fever is commonly as a result of pressure the physique undergoes to warmth itself quite than the warmth itself. As such, the easiest way to alleviate these signs usually is to easily warmth the physique up.
Zeta Potential
Zeta potential quantifies the tendency of colloidal particles in an answer to separate or clump collectively (e.g., blood cells turning into microclots or lymphatic drainage from the lungs turning into congested) — a lot of which happens after a essential threshold has been reached.
One of many main issues with vaccines and plenty of infectious sicknesses is that they impair the physique’s zeta potential and trigger fluid clumping to occur (e.g., vaccines steadily set off observable microstrokes).
Usually this clumping leads to one feeling congested, but when somebody already has a zeta potential impairment (which is frequent within the aged), the extra fluid clumping might be ample to hospitalize them. As such, we frequently discover bettering the physiologic zeta potential to be immensely useful for viral sicknesses.
Disinfectants
Since viruses initially colonize the higher airway (e.g., ears, nostril, and throat), utilizing an applicable disinfectant to remove them in these areas earlier than the sickness can unfold into the lungs is commonly one of the efficient therapies that exists for acute viral sicknesses.
In actual fact, all through COVID-19, this method was discovered to be the simplest remedy for the sickness (to the purpose it possible would have ended the pandemic if the general public had been knowledgeable). Likewise, for many years I’ve discovered this to be a particularly accessible and efficient remedy for colds and flus.
Conclusion
Whereas science is an unimaginable device that may clear up most of the urgent points humanity faces, I imagine the prevailing monetary incentives far too steadily flip it right into a drive that works towards our pursuits as nearly limitless cash exists to “clear up” the issues we face, however little or no accountability exists for individuals who fail to supply outcomes.
Luckily, the brand new political local weather, pushed by the Make America Wholesome Once more motion and the Trump administration’s concentrate on decreasing wasteful authorities spending is shifting issues to prioritizing reasonably priced and efficient therapies over pricey outdated ones. That is an unimaginable alternative, and I sincerely hope we will make the perfect of it.
Creator’s Word: That is an abridged model of an extended article that discusses the above factors in additional element and evaluations the pure therapies we have discovered persistently treats viral sicknesses like colds and flus (together with tips on how to administer them).
