Most Americans are impressed with peer-reviewed journals, although scientists in many fields and informed non-scientists are aware that the bloom is off the rose, and such journals are struggling for legitimacy. They have taken many body blows to their credibility, reputation, and subscription lists in recent years.

In 2011, the pharmaceutical company Bayer looked at 67 blockbuster drug discovery research findings published in prestigious journals and found that three-fourths of them were wrong!

The British Medical Journal (BMJ) ran research past other experts in the field and discovered that most of the reviewers failed to notice eight errors that had been deliberately inserted into articles. That is shocking, but it was even worse. The reviewers were told they were being tested. No scientist spotted more than five errors out of the 221 reviewers who responded. The average reviewer found two mistakes.

That’s two errors out of eight!

No wonder every health care system is collapsing with so many incompetents wearing white coats and dangling stethoscopes.

Peer-reviewed published articles in the once venerable Lancet asserted President Trump “provoked” the mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6 and his “turbulent” legacy “imperils the health of Americans and the world.” Well, they did use the word health in the medical article.

Lancet promoted Biden as a “healthy” choice for America and, on May 16, 2020, published an editorial calling for Trump’s defeat in the 2020 Presidential election.

Considering the political, economic, educational, and social travesty in the United Kingdom, it might be better to use print space to solve that nation’s problems. Maybe the JAMA and the NEJM can solve America’s troubles.

Lancet published a “dehumanizing” and “sexist” article describing females as “bodies with vaginas” to appease the fanatics of the trans lobby. Critics called it “insulting and abusive” and a “misguided pursuit of woke points.” A few months earlier, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust told its staff to use terms like “birthing parents” and “human milk” rather than referring to “mothers” and “breast milk.”

Lancet, founded in 1823, is the most respected medical journal in the world but has recently become “woke” and politically correct. Maybe, it would be more in keeping with their purpose if they were honest, correct, and balanced—and dealt with health.

The Daily Mail of September 11, 2021, reported that Lancet, in their March 7, 2020 edition, published a letter to discredit the “conspiracy theory” that COVID was accidentally (or purposefully) leaked from the Wuhan Lab in China. Whether Covid-19 had man-made origins or leaked from the lab in Wuhan was effectively shut down by the letter. Twenty-seven authors signed the letter ridiculing man-made origins, and their prestige carried the day, calming the concerns of most people.

The Lancet’s assurance from the highly respected scientists “effectively ended all debate” about the origins of the global coronavirus pandemic. It was no more an issue. The Red Chinese were not guilty. While the COVID roots were not discovered, its origin was not in China, and it was for sure not a bioweapon.   The Lancet letter made that sure.

Well, not really.

The Daily Mail reported another London paper, the Daily Telegraph, revealed that 26 of the 27 scientists who signed the Lancet letter had a conflict of interest (COI) in making that case. All but one of the alleged unbiased authors “have links to its Chinese researchers, their colleagues or its benefactors, a new investigation has revealed.”

Say what! Peer-review is supposed to be honest, forthright, scholarly, unbiased, fair, truthful, balanced, etc.

The Lancet scientists were not unbiased since those 26 scientist-authors had a dog in that fight. The highly esteemed scientists convinced almost everyone that COVID did not leak (or was not leaked) from the Chinese lab, so don’t worry about COVID’s roots. Everyone can go back to watching politicized sports.

Now we know many Lancet authors cannot be trusted. They hid their Chinese connection that would indicate they had conflicts of interest when making conclusions. In my opinion, they are all disgraced scientists who can be bought by the Communist Chinese.

That’s not supposed to happen, not with real scientists.

So, the Lancet’s perceived respectability in the scientific community was enough to convince the non-thinkers that the Chinese are good guys who would not release a deadly virus upon the world to thin the population to a level that would satisfy the environmental fanatics. Nor was the leak accidental.

The impetus behind the infamous Lancet letter was Dr. Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, which channeled $600,000 of American tax dollars into controversial research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That was a grant from NIH and Dr. Anthony Fauci.  Yes, that Fauci.  Daszak declared no conflict of interest in the original letter but confessed in an addendum in a later issue of the journal. Since the scandal erupted, Daszak is no longer on the commission looking for the origins of COVID-19.

Daszak received more than $410,000 in annual compensation from EcoHealth and “related organizations” during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. However, his non-profit (EcoHealth) reportedly “received $39 million from the Pentagon and $123 million overall from different government agencies until last year.”

This seems to authenticate the I Timothy 6:10 warning that “the love of money is the root of all evil.” That was the “love” of money, not money itself.  If we follow the money, we will find the source of the evil.

I’m not convinced the virus was released as a bioweapon, although I wrote about that possibility here.  And it could be accurate, but what is definite is the virus was engineered in Red China. Maybe honest scientific investigators could determine whether it was accidental or purposeful, although the Communists are not cooperating with the investigation.

Wonder why?

Emails show Daszak and another scientist conspired (oops, can leftists conspire?) to conceal they were in bed with the Wuhan institute to “avoid looking self-serving.” The Mail reports Daszak told the scientist he would publish the letter in such a way that it doesn’t “link it back to our collaboration, so we maximise an independent voice.”

So much for their independent voice.

Some of the world’s top virologists had raised concerns earlier that the emerging SARS-CoV-2 virus had features that “(potentially) look engineered,” which is what many others have declared. However, Drs. Koopmans and Drosten were participants in a secretive teleconference held in February 2020 with White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, Daszak, and others involved in efforts to discredit the lab-leak theory.

Note they were not looking for the truth of what happened but conspiring to discredit one possibility that would reflect badly on China.

Wow, it only takes two to make a conspiracy! Is there a conspiracy consisting of corrupt federal health officials and corrupt politicians who will not permit the truth to be known about the origin of the Chinese coronavirus? Peer-reviewed articles can’t keep flawed studies out of major papers, but they can be deadly efficient at silencing heretical, i.e., unpopular, unapproved, and unprofitable views.

Conspiracy is one thing; competency is another. Another possibility is confirmation bias, a potential problem for everyone. Every person must be careful when seeking truth since everyone is susceptible to a confirmation bias, “the tendency to look for and see only evidence that confirms what they already believe.” One tends to see what he wants to see. He sees what he is looking for. He accepts error because it confirms his erroneous ideas.

Some of the 27 scientists “have since changed their stance with some calling for a full inquiry into the origins of Covid-19.” Just a little late. These guys are not the sharpest knives in the drawer because after Lancet published Daszak’s tardy COI, the other 26 did not reveal theirs. Lancet even asked if they would like to confess any conflict. No one did. However, some of them have backed away from the letter and are now calling for further investigation.

No, not the brightest guys or the most honorable guys in the room.

There are many examples in once-respected medical journals of failure to disclose and arrogantly acting as cheerleaders for the radical left on issues far from medicine or health.

The American Medical Association declared anyone who opposes transgender  mutilation of children is “dangerous”;  Fauci called U.S. gun violence a “public health issue”; The Lancet wrote, “Climate Response Must Break ‘Stranglehold of Fossil Fuels’”; New England Journal of Medicine recommended removing assignment of gender on birth certificates; the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association argued whiteness itself is a mental condition that leads white people to “hate” and “terrorize.”

Obviously, once-respected medical personnel and journals are lost in deep weeds.

I mentioned the above to support my contention that medical journals are only a little more reliable than National Enquirer or The Sun. But those papers, like all publications, must make a legitimate profit; however, the motive of a medical journal is not profit but public health. One must always consider the credentials of a writer since his motive may be bucks rather than facts.

Robbie Fox, the respected 20th-century editor of the Lancet who was no admirer of peer-review, wondered whether anybody would notice if he were to swap the piles marked “publish” and “reject.” Richard Smith, a former editor of the prestigious British Medical Journal, expressed his opinion of peer-review in his 2006 article, “Peer review: a flawed process at the heart of science and journals.”

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor-in-chief of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), made the case that the problems with scientific research, especially concerning the pharmaceutical industry, go much deeper than peer review issues. In May 2000, she wrote an editorial in the NEJM that asked, “Is Academic Medicine for Sale?” She was concerned “about the increasingly blurry lines between academic institutions (and their research) and the pharmaceutical companies that pay the bills.”

In 2005, Angell wrote The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It, a book that Janet Maslin of The New York Times described as “a scorching indictment of drug companies and their research and business practices . . . tough, persuasive and troubling.”

Scientists, like those above willing to break with their peers, are more likely to be truth-tellers since few want to be considered odd, strange, or peculiar. In our day, it is obsolete to be absolute because skeptics refuse any authority and refuse to be held to a standard of behavior. The only absolute standard is the Bible, and every issue should be filtered through its many principles, thereby arriving at the truth. Yes, even in science.

I am suspicious, skeptical, and sickened of peer-reviewed journals and federal health officials who have long records of being truth deficient and are often flawed, false, fanatical, and fraudulent! I tend to believe the independent critics who are risking everything for what they know to be the truth.

It doesn’t take much intellectual candlepower to recognize these federal health officials and politicians as unhinged, unconcerned, and unaccountable dictators who scream in their loudest, authoritarian voice, “Take the shot. Put on a mask. Close your business. This is for your own good and for the nation.”

Similar commands still faintly echo from Tempelhofer Field in Berlin, where a little man with a small mustache and a bad haircut spoke to over a million mesmerized people.

Today, a little man named Fauci spouts silly medical bromides with neither a blush nor a snicker as he swaggers through Washington, like the jerk in Berlin.

America can’t be a democracy since I did not vote (nor did my representatives) vote to pull out of Afghanistan or to open our southern border to decent, hard-working people looking for a better life and for sure, not for terrorists, deadbeats, child molesters, thieves, muggers, and other lowlifes. I did not vote to pretend two men or two women living together can make up a family; nor that children have a right to decide their gender; nor that a man can pretend to be a woman by changing his plumbing; nor to permit males to compete with females in athletic events; nor to permit boys to declare themselves female and gain rightful entrance into female restrooms and locker rooms.

Nor did I vote to permit our Empire to be run by egotistical health officials who have never treated anyone for anything at any time. Nor did I vote to force toddlers to wear a face mask; nor for businesses to be closed and church services to be shut down.

No, the American Empire, like Rome, is crumbling as I write.

I’ve even heard that some big-city mayors, all Democrats, will give a guaranteed weekly wage, but that can’t be true. Even Democrats can’t be that stupid.

The world has been fighting the Communist Chinese coronavirus for many months, and with “new variants” appearing, we may be losing the battle. Businesses are closing, hospitals are full, people are angry, experts are vacillating, politicians are lying as they take control, the innocent are dying, and vaccine makers are crying all the way to the bank carrying buckets full of money.

However, it has happened before with more tragic results.

Bubonic Plague lashed the face of Europe in the Middle Ages, killing half the population in some cities, more in others. Now the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that bubonic plague (Black Death) is spreading in many parts of Madagascar (island nation just east of southern Africa), and a “weak health care system means it may spread farther.” WHO reported that there have been 40 deaths from the plague, with 119 people infected. Plague is spread by fleas carried by rats.

WHO also ominously reported, “There is now a risk of a rapid spread of the disease due to the city’s high population density and the weakness of the healthcare system.”

Well, add one more threat to life from all the exotic diseases (pestilences) from Africa and China—earthquakes, famines, wars, and rumors of war to warn world citizens of the end of the world as we know it. No, I’m not a pessimist; that thought was Matthew, chapter 24. We have experienced all this before, but not with such frequency and intensity. Nations could be destroyed as in the past.

American physician, bacteriologist, and prolific author Hans Zinsser, among others, believe that the Plague of Justinian was partly responsible for the demise of the Roman Empire. He declared the plague was “perhaps the most potent single influence” which gave the coup de grâce to the ancient Empire. Bugs, not bullets, knocked off an empire! This pandemic lasted about seventy years and caused havoc in the Roman Empire, already bruised, broken, and bleeding. Justinian was desperately trying to restore the ancient Empire to its former glory–like trying to breathe life into a corpse.

Seventy years of pandemic!

During Emperor Justinian’s reign, the worldwide plague began in A.D. 541 at Pelusium, Egypt (at the mouth of the Nile). He was known as “the emperor that never sleeps.” In sixty years, the plague spread to all parts of the known world. The dead lay unburied in the streets, and ten thousand persons died each day at Constantinople. The people of Constantinople became desperate with all the deaths as they placed bodies anywhere they could. Some bodies were left in houses to rot. It got worse as the black horse of famine galloped through the city because mills stopped grinding corn due to workers’ deaths.

They experienced a major food shortage because of many business failures. And those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

V. Seibel tells us that the plague was preceded by many earthquakes, volcanic eruptions—Vesuvius, in 513, was one—and famines that dropped a blanket of terror and death over Europe, the Near East, and Asia. The worst natural occurrence was the earthquake and fire that destroyed Antioch in A.D. 526, killing almost 300,000 people.

The Roman Empire was in a state of confusion because of the added pressure, problems, and panic produced by the plague. Gibbon wrote, “No facts have been preserved to sustain an account or even a conjecture of the numbers that perished in this extraordinary mortality. I only find that, during three months, five and at length ten thousand persons died each day at Constantinople; and many cities of the East were left vacant, and that in several districts of Italy the harvest and the vintage withered on the ground.”

When the plague snuck into Constantinople in A.D. 542, it stayed for four months, killing so many people that it was impossible for the living to bury the dead. By A.D. 565, half of the citizens of the Byzantine Empire had died! Gibbon suggested that perhaps 100 million people in Europe alone died of this plague!

Well, we aren’t there yet.

Justinian’s armies were fighting with Persia, Africa, and the Goths in Italy, but those crude, unsophisticated barbarians had learned the art of making war from former warlords. Barbarians had learned how to organize, analyze, and cooperate. It was ever more difficult for the emperor to sustain armies on far-flung battlefields, especially when there were threats at home and treachery and thievery in his palace. Justinian needed, least of all, a major epidemic to compound his problems.

This Plague of Justinian emptied the cities, turned the country into a desert, and made the habitations of men the haunts of wild beasts. The snakes slithered and hissed, the hyenas crouched and laughed, and wild beasts pawed and growled where proud, pompous, and productive men once walked.

However, when men face the inscrutable, they tend to lose their arrogance, sinking into a hapless and helpless, and hopeless life.

Gibbon recorded: “The triple scourges of war, pestilence, and famine afflicted the subjects of Justinian, and his reign is disgraced by a visible decrease of the human species which has never been regained in some of the fairest countries of the globe.” Can anyone read that statement and doubt that disease has changed our world far more than wars? Furthermore, will irresponsible Muslim terrorists or the Communist Chinese coronavirus change our present world forever? Or maybe it will be the bubonic plague.

The plague of Justinian ended about 590, but most of Italy was controlled by the Lombards by that time. The barbarians were no longer at the gates of Rome but inside the gates. The mighty Empire had crumbled, and when the Muslim zealots swarmed out of Arabia in 634, the Roman and Persian forces gave only token resistance.

As uncultured, uncivilized, uneducated, and uncontrolled Muslim zealots swarm into America carrying hostile plans and harmful pestilences, will the once-great American Empire fall like Rome?

Even Emperor Justinian contracted the plague but survived; however, his Empire did not. The question: how will ancient plagues and other pestilences impact and change America?

Some of us will live long enough to see that answer.

And there is no vaccine even for the common cold that’s been around for millennia.

If and when a vaccine is available, there are definite indications that everyone will be required to get it. Virginia has already made that decision. And that is the problem before us. After we live through the pandemic and the arguments about masks and lockdowns, now we face the most dangerous part of the battle—telling the do-gooders what they can do with the vaccine.

Mr. Trump will make the biggest mistake of his presidency if he tries to force every American to accept the jab. Trump declared, “Our military is now being mobilized so at the end of the year we’re going to be able to give it to a lot of people very, very rapidly.” Well, Mr. Trump, to quote Samuel Goldwyn, “include me out.” Forced vaccination for the Chinese coronavirus will be divisive, dangerous, and deadly!

And dumb.

I heard Trump say that the vaccination would not be required, but I don’t trust his health advisors at the federal health agencies. Those agencies are snake pits of corruption run by political hacks with medical degrees. None have ever looked a COVID-19 patient in the eye, and few have ever looked a patient in the eyes.

I wonder if Mr. Trump will assure Americans that we will not experience the following for not getting vaccinated: will we be safe from losing a job; losing our insurance or Medicare; have our children taken from us; or be required to have some identification to permit us to buy or sell?

The World Health Organization (WHO) has an Immunization Agenda 2030, in which they’re planning to vaccinate everyone for everything across the globe: “IA 2030 envisions a world where everyone, everywhere, at every age, fully benefits from vaccines to improve health and well-being.”

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the biggest funder of the WHO, and Gates intends to vaccinate the global population against COVID-19.

Many federal health officials’ eyes glaze over when they think and speak of financial benefits for COVID-19 research and treatment. Hospitals have been making huge profits from Medicare patients, as revealed by Senator Scott Jensen, Republican from Minnesota, on Fox News. He reported that hospitals are paid more if Medicare patients are listed as having the Chinese coronavirus and three times the normal price if they are put on a ventilator. This is what prompted the minor scandal recently when so many hospitals were listing suicide, heart deaths, etc., as COVID-19 deaths. One man died in an auto accident, another died of a heart attack, another died of gunshot wounds, yet all three were listed as having COVID-19.

Follow the money; after all, it’s yours.

However, it is not only local hospitals reaping the profits of death but federal health officials who are embedded with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes for Health (NIH), and the World Health Organization (WHO). The CDC is the federal agency responsible for directing, developing, and deciding on safety and efficacy. In simple terms: does it work, is it safe, and is it really necessary?

And, in a jaded moment, I will suggest that another prerequisite is that it must be expensive. The history of vaccines and drugs has revealed that safety and effectiveness are sometime disregarded, but they are always expensive.

It is a fact known by all informed people that all drugs and vaccines are not safe for everyone. Many people have died or been harmed for life because of a bad reaction to drugs or vaccines. No health expert on earth will guarantee you that you will be safe by getting a vaccination. Drug and vaccine manufacturing companies are protected by law from being held legally accountable for any harmful reactions. Wonder why that is true if they are safe. A firm that needs such protection does not overwhelm me with confidence.

Moderna has been developing a COVID-19 vaccine with hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of help from the federal government. Moderna received a $483 million award from U.S. taxpayers in April, and the award could eventually be “worth about a billion.”

There is already a safe and effective treatment for the Chinese coronavirus, specifically, Hydroxychloroquine known as HCQ combined with azithromycin and zinc. To be effective, the patients must be in the early stage of the disease. Many physicians have treated hundreds of patients, many of them with additional health problems, with outstanding success. One Texas doctor has treated almost 400 patients with HCQ and has not lost a patient! Another physician has treated more than 700 patients and only lost one patient. The drug is sold over the counter in some nations and has been used safely for more than 65 years.

So, why isn’t every physician prescribing HCQ to COVID-19 patients? Dr. Fauci says that it has not had supervised clinical trials. Wait a minute. Many doctors who deal with dying patients are using it successfully. Well, yes, but the CDC doesn’t have a patent on the drug. Could that be the motive for Dr. Fauci to ridicule it at every opportunity? Moreover, Dr. Fauci and other critics have never treated a Chinese coronavirus patient.

Fauci has recommended the very expensive remdesivir drug owned by Gilead Sciences. It is declared that Fauci and the CDC have no financial interests in that company, and that may be true. However, could Fauci and the CDC downplay other drugs because they have put everything on the expected vaccine? And will any federal health agency or person have any financial benefit from its sale? Wow, that could be billions of dollars; and maybe as important, a Nobel Prize for Dr. Fauci.

The global vaccine market is showing some escalating growth, and it is expected that it will reach total revenues of nearly 60 billion U.S. dollars this year. Some of that will reach the hands of federal health officials who sit in judgment as to whether it is safe and effective! In 2016, the CDC made 137.8 million from royalty income. In total, 56 individual patents were found to be owned or shared by one or more members of the committees within the CDC. I believe that is called a conflict of interest.

If force is used to vaccinate everyone, it will make criminals out of Trump’s best supporters and may put some of us in jail. One of my readers said if Trump’s federal troops try to force him to be injected with mercury, he will inject the injecter with lead. Both mercury and lead are lethal. Forced vaccinations mean many will be shot, really shot!

Since I believe the vaccine may be worse than the disease, I will refuse to be vaccinated, although I’m convinced Trump’s advisors will recommend draconian measures to force me (in a free society) to capitulate. I would not even consider getting vaccinated if I were given the right answers to these questions: does the vaccine contain mercury, formaldehyde, or any human cells? What evidence is available that it will work? What proof is there to know it is safe? What are the full results of the tests? If you have a negative reaction such as being paralyzed, who pays, and how much? Why can’t we have religious objections since they are available in other matters?

I hope Mr. Trump will promise not to force free citizens to have a chip implanted or number tattooed on the hand or forehead.

USA Today even mocked the President declaring, “Coronavirus treatment: Dr. Donald Trump peddles snake oil and false hope.” No, the peddlers of snake oil, that includes most of the mainstream media, have been proved again to be blind, benighted bigots desperately supporting a failed political candidate, a false political philosophy, and a fake political objectivity.

The new study is additional proof that corruption at the CDC and NIH is deep and wide. That would almost always be true when piles of money in research funds, federal grants, personal gifts, royalties, and patent rights are involved. Interwoven in all this are egos, reputations, and fear of exposure. Even highly educated people lose control when they are threatened with a loss of salary, subsidies, and status.

President Trump should look at the inner sanctum of the CDC and all its affiliates and fire incompetents, grafters, and opportunists. He should look at all contracts each employee has with any university, clinic, hospital, or research group. He should have each employee disclose all past agreements or gifts, salary, expenses, or benefits of any kind from any pharmaceutical company.

Dr. Tony Fauci is the face of U.S. disease control, and recent events suggest he peddles hokum using scientific jargon. As a health expert, he has as much credibility as Jerry Springer. As a reliable health spokesman, he flashed, he floundered, he flopped. And unemployed Americans have picked up the tab for his mistakes.

In January, Fauci told us that the U.S. “did not have to worry” and the coronavirus was “not a major threat.” Then he said, it was “a bad flu.” On March 20, he corrected Trump on national television for saying hydroxychloroquine was a “fairly effective” treatment because “it was never done in a clinical trial.” Two weeks later the treatment was deemed the “most highly rated treatment” by more than 6,000 international doctors.

It is most interesting that when the critics disparage hydroxychloroquine, they cite studies that did not follow the protocols. If the treatment is used at the first symptoms, it has been 100% successful in treating about 500 coronavirus patients, according to Dr. Vladimir Zelenko in March. Zelenko said, “We have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.”

The patients received hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days, azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days, and zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days. With no deaths.

This seems simple. If you want an effective COVID-19 treatment, then follow the proven protocols. If you want to bash Trump and see more people die, do the studies, but don’t follow the proven protocols. You can still say, “we’ve done the hydroxychloroquine treatment without any success,” but don’t reveal that you did not treat patients early in their disease and didn’t use azithromycin and zinc.

After all, you may be a bigot, a hater, and a Democrat, but you aren’t stupid.

But let’s go back to Fauci. He told us on February 29 that malls, movies, and gyms were acceptable and on March 9, cruises were safe. On April 15, he suggested that sexual hookups via the internet were acceptable!

Fauci and Birx used the Imperial College Model to convince Trump to close down the U.S. economy. Everyone now knows the Imperial College model was a total fraud, and the cure (closing down the economy) was worse than the disease threat.

Remember, people will do almost anything when their salary, subsidies, and status are threatened.

A friend of mine is a Harvard-trained lawyer who wrote to me in response to one of my recent columns. He exposed a “symbiotic relationship” between Emory University (in Atlanta) and the CDC. It seems some of the scientists were working both sides with generous salaries or grants. That has been going on for decades in many universities where professors do non-work in return for generous grants or salaries. That is similar to physicians who write (or put their names on research papers) and get them published in a medical journal for a fee. That would be in the same category as physicians who receive exotic vacations to “lecture” at annual events at vacation hot spots with accompanying fees and expenses.

The above are standard operating procedures for scientists in many professional disciplines. It is considered the way to do business; after all, one must remain friends with editors, publishers, and commercial companies and do a great deal of back-scratching. And back-scratching is far more pleasant if done on one of the Greek islands, a Black Sea resort, or a week in the Cayman Islands.

My friend reported a case where the NIH “granted liberal awards in research to Wayne State University (in Detroit) that was “bull…. research, going nowhere and pretending to go through the paces.”

There are numerous examples of forged or fallacious or fuzzy research in many fields of science—so-called—but those are rarely exposed in the scientific journals.

Furthermore, Big Pharma carries a big stick in the halls of Congress, and any member who even looks kindly at an anti-vaccine lobbyist (or even a photo of Robert Kennedy, Jr.) gets whacked over the head.

Nothing must limit the sale of vaccines or suggest any hanky-panky down in Atlanta by the boys in white coats. After all, when one gets his or her doctorate and is ordained by the medical brotherhood into the inner sanctum of a federal health position, they receive medical sainthood while still alive. He or she can do no wrong, and if they do, they may be examined, then excused, and exonerated. After all, it could be dangerous to their system if a wrongdoer is punished since everyone knows where the bodies are buried.

Maybe a slap on the wrist.

So, seldom do heads roll, and the grants, generous salaries, and national reputations continue, even blossom during times of pandemic. Americans hang on every word of Fauci, Birx, Redfield, and Associates when, in my opinion, they should be making license plates.

The CDC hypes, even inflates, the number of infections and deaths by various diseases then encourages governments to purchase a considerable amount of vaccines on which the CDC owns patents. You might think they would not be so obviously mercenary and brash. However, the Natural News quoted the AP to that effect: “The Associated Press (AP) explains in a recent report how the CDC uses these and other wildly inaccurate calculations to push its own agenda, which usually involves scaring governments into buying more emergency medications and vaccines to prevent what is commonly hyped as the potential for widespread disease and death.”

Just one of many examples of shameless profiteering took place not long ago by the top honcho at the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding, who became Director in 2002. Forbes magazine listed her 32nd among The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women in 2007 and 24th in 2008. She made the list in 2009 but failed to make it in 2010 and the following years.

Dr. Gerberding was the Director of the CDC when the MMR vaccine fraud took place from 2002 to 2009. It seems Dr. Gerberding looked at the charges against the CDC of covering up a vaccine-autism connection relating to the MMR vaccine made by Merck Pharmaceutical. She looked behind the curtain and basically said, “Nope, nobody there.” As Hogan’s Hero Sergeant Shultz would say, “There was nothhhhhing to it.” The MMR vaccine was safe for young children.

After giving the vaccine a pass, she left the CDC in 2009 and became President in 2010 with—you won’t believe this—the maker of the MMR vaccine, Merck’s vaccine division. After leaving the CDC, she sold about half her Merck stock options for almost $10 million. She sold more Merck stock in 2016 for a total of over $16 million but retained Merck stock worth about $9 million.

Inquiring minds want to know if Julie was hired at a very generous salary and benefits as a payoff for her favorable decision dealing with Merck’s MMR vaccine. That’s an example of the “famous revolving door” effect.

At Trump’s March 20 daily report of the pandemic, Dr. Fauci ridiculed the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine. Is it because he has delusions of a future “Fauci vaccine” for the Chinese coronavirus dancing in his head? Surely, he would not be so crass, cruel, and classless.

President Trump was right again about hydroxychloroquine, and the experts at the CDC and NIH all have egg on their faces.

The federal health system needs Trump’s attention the way an innocent baby needs attention every few hours, and I don’t mean their need for food. To jump to a different metaphor, Trump needs to clean out the stables at the CDC.

A good start will be to tell Dr. Fauci, “You’re Fired.”

Intellectually speaking, that is hogwash, balderdash, and a generous portion of baloney.

This, and other columns, will hold officials’ feet to the fire at the CDC, NIH, NIAID, and the WHO since taxpayers fund most of their nonsense.

The WHO initially recommended that people with the Chinese coronavirus symptoms avoid ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, and others) but has since reversed that advice, and health experts now generally say most coronavirus patients can use either acetaminophen or ibuprofen to treat fevers. Experts should be slow to speak authoritatively.

Guidelines, coming out of the WHO, recommend that children aged 0-4 be taught about “masturbation” and “gender identity.” Kids are to be given “information about enjoyment and pleasure when touching one’s body. Children ages 4-6 years old are to receive “information about same-sex relationships” and “help children develop respect for different norms regarding sexuality.” But, is that topic a part of the job description of any federal health official? If so, why?

That is confusion.

President Trump should deny any funds to that corrupt world organization, including its pappy, the United Nations.

Since there is no endless supply of funds, the U.S. should be more cautious in dispensing our tax dollars around the world and across the fruited plain.

Why is much more money going to fund AIDS research each year when that virus kills fewer Americans than diabetes, Alzheimer’s, etc.? In 2017, for example, 5,698 people died of AIDS. But 55,000 died of the flu. Could it be that people with other diseases need an aggressive lobby in Washington, maybe like the homosexual lobby, to promote their cause? This inequity is even more indefensible when you realize the most AIDS carriers contracted that disease through willful, wild, even wicked behavior such as perverted sex, fornication, prostitution, and/or illegal drug use?

The CDC is the largest buyer of vaccines ($4 billion each year) yet oversees the safety of those products! Conflict of interest there? Moreover, the CDC holds 56 vaccine patents. Dr. Brian Hooker, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and others assert the CDC is “a vaccine company.” A corrupt vaccine company.

Of that, there is no doubt as proven by a senior CDC scientist who confessed, “We scheduled meeting to destroy vaccine-autism study documents.” What! No way, because the vaccine-autism connection is no longer an issue since Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who promoted that possibility in an infamous 1998 Lancet article, was crucified, then drawn and quartered, and his ashes burned outside the office of Lancet decades ago by objective, fair-minded fellow-doctors! Or something like that.

But, it seems the vaccine-autism connection has not been resolved. After getting mandated vaccinations, many normal children had their lives completely altered, even destroyed within the following days. Post-vaccination, they never speak, or make eye contact, run in circles, play with a piece of cardboard, and spend their days lining up objects on the floor. But the myth goes on and on.

During a CDC vaccine-autism study in 2004, it seems deception was committed, as revealed when a current CDC senior research scientist Dr. William Thompson publicly admitted fraud in 2014. Dr. Thompson confessed that he, and his coauthors, committed research fraud during that study! He admitted in phone calls with Dr. Brian Hooker that the CDC was “throwing evidence into the garbage.” (Hooker’s son had received the shot years earlier and displayed symptoms of autism in a few days.)

The alleged fraud was that there was an increased risk for autism when the MMR vaccine was given to black males before 36 months of age, and the CDC scientists tried to cover-up that possibility. Thompson was referring to a study published in the Journal of Pediatrics in 2004 when he said, “I believe we intentionally withheld controversial findings from the final draft of the Pediatrics paper.”

Dr. Thompson says the study co-authors “scheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. The remaining four co-authors all met and brought a big garbage can into the meeting room, and reviewed and went through all the hardcopy documents that we had thought we should discard, and put them into a huge garbage can.”

Surely, this public confession was all that was necessary to initiate an uproar in America with a demand for a major congressional investigation. No, not even a whimper except Florida Congressman Bill Posey. Posey, by the way, is not anti-vaccine but very pro-vaccine, but in this day, anyone who is even willing to talk about the subject is projected by the radical leftwing media as being a rightwing fanatic anti-vaxxer. That way, no one expects them to be objective or even deal with the issue fairly.

Snopes, that paragon on virtue and defender of the un-American way, assured everyone that the main point was not about corruption at the CDC but whether collected data actually proves that the MMR vaccine produces “a 340% increased risk of autism in African-American boys?” As usual, Snopes was wrong.

That is the issue—pervasive corruption.

We will continue to discuss, dissect, and debate the vaccine-autism connection until there are no more questions about it. Still, the issue is about corruption at the organization, funded by taxpayers. Now, these board-certified scientists have so much power over our lives that they can effectively shut down America even though their knowledge of the economy, effects of lockdowns, and the societal impact would fit into the navel of a flea.

Three of the other study authors—Frank DeStefano, Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp, and Coleen Boyle—are still with the CDC, and Tanya Bhasin has moved on. Why didn’t heads roll into a basket when such untruthfulness, unlawfulness, and unprofessionalism happened at a federal agency? Why aren’t all these CDC scientists sweeping the floors on the night shift?

It is incomprehensible that major scientists sat around a garbage can in a federal office and destroyed government documents to cover their mistakes, misconduct, and malfeasance. I can’t imagine that, but then I can’t imagine Bruce Jenner pretending to be a woman, Mitt Romney pretending to be a Republican, Stacey Abrams pretending to be governor of Georgia and Joe Biden pretending to be alive.

There is systemic corruption in our federal health system.

But it got worse. The confusion and corruption morphed into a conspiracy.

A group of at least a dozen concerned, committed, and courageous CDC scientists calling themselves SPIDER (Scientists Preserving Integrity, Diligence and Ethics in Research) admitted that a criminal conspiracy exists at the CDC. Their August 29, 2016, astounding statement says, “We are a group of scientists at CDC that are very concerned about the current state of ethics at our agency. It appears that our mission is being influenced and shaped by outside parties and rogue interests. It seems that our mission and Congressional intent for our agency is being circumvented by some of our leaders.”

Wow, insurrection is in the air. Leaders must beware.

The CDC scientists continued, “What concerns us most is that it is becoming the norm and not the rare exception. Some senior management officials at CDC are clearly aware and even condone these behaviors. Others see it and turn the other way. Some staff are intimidated and pressed to do things they know are not right. We have representatives from across the agency that witness this unacceptable behavior. It occurs at all levels and in all of our respective units…We are asking that you do your part to help clean up this house!”

These CDC scientists corroborate the explosive findings in the documentary film Vaxxed as they continually drive the point home with various statements throughout their public statement as follows. “[S]taff are intimidated and pressed to do things they know are not right…Data were clearly manipulated in irregular ways…this ‘climate of disregard’ puts many of us in difficult positions…We are often directed to do things we know are not right….The lack of respect for science and scientists that support CDC’s legacy is astonishing.”

The SPIDER scientists were critical concerning the lack of overview of the CDC’s willful corruption and fraud involving the Wise Woman Program. “There was a coordinated effort by that Center to ‘bury’ the fact that screening numbers for the WW program were misrepresented in documents sent to Congress; screening numbers for 2014 and 2015 did not meet expectations despite a multimillion dollar investment; and definitions were changed and data ‘cooked’ to make the results look better than they were.”

It seems the CDC does not stand by its pledge “To base all public health decisions on the highest quality scientific data, openly and objectively derived.”

According to the twelve clearly discouraged, dissatisfied, and disgruntled SPIDER scientists, the CDC kept the issues and research fraud in-house to protect the CDC while describing how the incident was handled.

Meanwhile, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) pointed out that the fox was appointed to guard the chicken house. It appears that some pharmaceutical companies involved in the production and marketing of antiviral drugs provided funding to the CDC Foundation to support qualitative research into influenza prevention and treatment messaging. So, the makers of vaccines and drugs sent truckloads of dollars to the CDC, who was to make the final decision as to approval or disapproval of those drugs!

The BMJ reported that although the CDC employed “the rhetoric of science, the studies underlying the policy are often of low quality, and do not substantiate officials’ claims. The [flu] vaccine might be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and the threat of influenza appears overstated.”

Their assessment seems to be that the CDC has been overselling an under-effective product to make a boatload of bucks. Some would say it could be classified as a form of prostitution.

It looks like all the farmers of the world have been wrong: the fox and chickens can live together in harmony.

I think it’s time to kill some foxes, but that is only another mild opinion of someone who really likes chicken.

You decide—or wait for a jury’s decision. A thorough investigation may discover Fauci guilty of all charges, or guilty of some charges, or totally innocent of criminal accusations.

Whatever reason, Tony should be terminated at least for some of the following.

Dr. Judy Mikovits said she cooperated with the FBI during an investigation of Dr. Fauci and the National Institute of Health (NIH). She alleged Fauci was a “workplace tyrant who was under investigation for swiping scientific research, covering up tainted vaccines, doling out lucrative federal grants to feckless cronies, and much more.”

It gets worse, but remember her charge is not a conviction. Also, one’s gender alone is not a guarantee of honesty.

Let’s begin with a very personal question. I want to know if Dr. Fauci supports the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation that 4-year-old children should be taught about masturbation? A simple yes or no will be sufficient. Moreover, I assume Fauci believes, as most sane, sensible people do, that not only is the subject not part of the health field but is the responsibility of parents and preachers, maybe psychologists and philosophers.

Another query is, why did the NIH in 2014 give $3.7 million of taxpayers’ money to the Wuhan lab in China? Such grants were prohibited in 2014. Did President Obama grant an exception? We know the money was given to a corrupt rogue organization, but did Obama authorize it?

We are still waiting for an answer, even a lame one.

Fauci said on February 29 that malls, gyms, and movie theaters were acceptable activities, and March 9, one could even attend large rallies and go on cruises. However, in a CNN interview, he said otherwise. The interviewer said, “You and other top officials wanted to recommend social and physical distancing guidelines to President Trump as far back as the third week of February, but the administration didn’t announce such guidelines to the American public until March 16th almost a month later. Why?”

He gave a non-answer that would only satisfy an indulgent wife.

Fauci’s emails show his inability to make sane decisions since he often told Hillary or her lawyer how much he loves her. “I Love Her More Than Ever.” He has shown that he has no discretion in whom he places confidence, such as his long time confidence in the very famous, failed, and flawed Professor Ferguson.

Fauci said on February 15 that the risk from coronavirus was “minuscule.” On March 15, he told Jon Karl on ABC that the U.S. could expect up to 1.7 million coronavirus deaths! On March 30, he stated that deaths could reach the infamous 2.2 million mark without mitigation! He had taken flawed information from the now-disgraced London epidemiologist Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College. The latter estimated that there would be “2.2 million dead people in the U.S.” from the coronavirus.

Newsweek reported of Ferguson’s fall from power when he “resigned from his position advising the British government after he broke social distancing rules with his married lover” during some illegal visits with her. Note that the disgrace was not having an illicit affair with a married woman but breaking social distancing law that he had recommended. Ferguson had recommended to London officials that people must stay home except for getting food, exercise, and other essentials. I suppose spending “quality” time with his lover could qualify as exercise.

Ferguson is known as Professor Lockdown.

His lover said she did not feel like a hypocrite in breaking the law based on what her lover had helped establish in Britain since “she considered the [two] households to be one.” Of course, a husband and wife have always been considered as one, but not two unmarried lovers, each with a family. That has always been known as adultery.

Moreover, it is interesting that Ferguson resigned in disgrace from his government consulting position, not his position at Imperial College. The college assured all Englishmen that he “continues to focus on his important research.” I really don’t think his focus was research.

Ferguson’s specialty is in modeling for statistical purposes that has proved to be outrageously wrong. His fellow-modelers ridicule him saying, “Ferguson has been wrong so often that some of his fellow modelers call him, The Master of Disaster.” Yet, Dr. Fauci makes decisions based on his work!

Ferguson was Fauci’s source for his wildest guesstimates. Fauci has finally settled on a new guess. He said in an interview on CNN, “Looking at what we’re seeing now, I would say between 100,000-200,000 [deaths].” No, one more guess. The Daily News reported on April 9 that he guessed America’s deaths “from upward of 240,000 [down] to 60,000.”

The number of deaths has reached 90,000; however, that number must be very flexible because they are counting deaths caused from other diseases. Much more money, honey.

President Trump should not trust Fauci’s leadership when he has chosen sources carelessly and government officials made decisions that affect millions of innocent people based on bad guesses.

Why did Fauci balk when asked about the value of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), as a cure for the Chinese coronavirus when his own organization NIH knew it was an effective inhibitor of coronaviruses since 2005? The NIH on August 22, 2005, reported in Fauci’s Virology Journal under the heading, “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.” The explosive report revealed, “We report…that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage.” It would cure and prevent a SARS-CoV infection.

But, here’s the kicker: If the treatment is used at the first symptoms, it has been 100% successful in treating about 500 coronavirus patients, according to Dr. Vladimir Zelenko in March. Zelenko said, “We have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.”

Did Fauci sneer at the proven success of HCQ because of financial interest in the Remdesivir vaccine that he was promoting at that time? The cost for HCQ is only $20 and is generic so any company can produce it, but for little profit. Do Fauci and his buddies at the CDC have their sights on a new drug or vaccine with astronomical profit potential?

This answer may require more than a yes or no reply.

Let me preempt the obvious probable “answer” that a VA study showed the treatment was ineffective; however, that is somewhat distracting and disingenuous if not dishonest since the hugely successful drug was given in the VA study only when the patient was at the point of death! Furthermore, the HCQ was administered without azithromycin and zinc, which form a very effective combination. The proper protocol requires it to be administered at the beginning of the illness, not the end when the death angel shows up at the patient’s door.

The VA is still using the drug but not according to the proper protocols since “its use was now limited to extenuating circumstances, such as last-ditch efforts to save a coronavirus patient’s life.” Hey guys, follow the directions if you expect success. Lives are being lost unnecessarily.

One more HCQ expert is Dr. Didier Raoult, called “the Anthony Fauci of France,” who had spectacular success using HCQ to treat victims of SARS-CoV-2. Raoult said way back on February 25, that “it’s game over” for coronavirus. He and a team of researchers reported that the use of HCQ administered with both azithromycin and zinc cured 79 of 80 patients.

Fauci’s former collogue, Dr. Judy Mikovits, charges: “The AMA was saying doctors will lose their license if they use hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malarial drug that’s been on the list of essential medicine worldwide for 70 years. Dr. Fauci calls that ‘anecdotal.’ It’s not storytelling if we have thousands of pages of data…this is essential medicine, and they keep it from the people…that’s exactly what’s going on with COVID-19. The game is to prevent the therapies until everyone is infected, and then push the [new] vaccine.”

Since Fauci likes to answer questions, I would like him to go into detail with that charge from a former colleague.

In Dr. Mikovits’ explosive YouTube that has been removed, she claims that Fauci and other top officials at the HHS, CDC, NIH, and NIAID all destroyed her life because of her scientific paper (which conflicted with the scientifically accepted but not scientifically proven AIDS’ message). She alleges Fauci demanded to see the as yet unpublished article. When she refused, Fauci had a hissy fit (my characterization for a screaming fit) right there in the office.

Consequently, Dr. Mikovits alleges she was arrested without a warrant and taken from her home and held in jail for five days without charges as the scientific Gestapo continued looking for her notebooks she was accused of taking from the lab. Subsequently, she was forced into bankruptcy and gagged for five years. She said Fauci directed the cover-up claiming fraud, and all the health officials were being paid big bucks to continue the cover-up and persecution of her. She charged, “Millions of dollars in funding were used to fund that cover-up by Fauci’s organization, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.”

The hassled, harried, and hated scientist said, “millions of people died of AIDS because U.S. health officials held up my paper. The present head of CDC Robert Redfield was involved.”

I’m sure a simple yes or no will not be a sufficient answer.

Fauci is a researcher, not a dedicated family doctor or surgeon. He knows nothing about taking out your appendix, and I would not trust him to take out the garbage. Moreover, he has no training in or experience in city or state management, the economy, or the history of social and health decisions on population centers, or societal impact on government lockdowns.

In light of the above, if proved in court, he should have some experience with a personal lockdown.

At least twenty years.

No doubt, many dedicated people work at the CDC; however, flawed people often become corrupted people when there is a threat to their status, their salary, and their success. This column and future columns will look closely at that possibility with federal health officials.

An attorney friend of mine who is a Harvard-trained Christian activist (not many around anymore) sent me a revealing email in response to one of my recent columns. He sued a Michigan hospital and the Centers for Disease Control on behalf of a female nurse who was fired by a Michigan hospital for declining to take a series of flu vaccinations. Her refusal was based on religious and health reasons.

She charged that the hospital, state health officials, and the CDC did not “fully disclose dangers, per Informed Consent rules.” She maintained that she had a right to be fully informed about the risks and side effects of the flu vaccine. That was not done.

The CDC estimates up to 35 million people contract the flu each year, and up to 700,000 will end up in the hospital. Moreover, “An estimated 12,000 to 56,000 people die each year from the virus.” However, another report reveals, “the highest annual average [death] toll was 48,614” in 2003-4. The numbers from 2017-2018 are “45 million infections, 810,000 hospitalizations, and 61,000 deaths” in America.

As to the vaccine’s effectiveness, a 2019 National Public Radio report reveals, “The vaccine’s ability to prevent flu cases last year hovered around 44 percent overall; it was about 59 percent effective in young children and just 16 percent in adults over 65.” You can get much better odds in Las Vegas.

Now you know why health care workers, as well as this writer, adamantly refuse to get a flu shot.

Everyone knows that some people are allergic to some vaccines; other patients may be recovering from an illness and too weak for foreign objects to be injected into a compromised body. We are assured that maybe one in a million will die of the flu shot, and others will be disabled while still others may suffer after-effects for months. However, if I am the one in a million, the odds don’t matter. I’m still dead. I don’t like the odds.

Health officials tell us that one possible problem with flu shots is the Gullian-Barre Syndrome (GBS) which results in 13% deaths and 20% or more disabilities with the inability to work for a year because of the syndrome. One does not know if he or she will die from a shot or be incapacitated or simply be uncomfortable for a few days. Does the individual take that risk, or does the all-powerful state decide that important personal decision?

No one on the face of the earth can guarantee the safety of any medicine or vaccination. A person must have the right to decide for himself or herself or their child as to what is put in their bodies. After all, anything can go wrong, and the law protects the vaccine maker and the health official who injects the victim—or patient if you insist.

Laws in all states require numerous vaccinations before a child can enter school, and many of those shots are mandated at an early age—the flu shot now given at six months! Moreover, multiple shots for childhood diseases are given at one time. Few ask if the child has been sick or is allergic to anything, nor do they inform parents of the vaccine’s ingredients. Few notify the parent of the risks and his or her legal rights for compensation if an injection goes awry.

Dr. Sherri J. Tenpenny reminds us that vaccine injuries are “rare,” but few reactions are accepted by the CDC as being caused by vaccines. They always look for other reasons, according to Tenpenny, to keep the numbers down, and if a vaccine is not on this list, it will not be permissible to sue for compensation. In a private letter, Dr. Tenpenny quotes the CDC Pink Book, “[M]any temporally associated adverse events probably represent background illness rather than illness caused by the vaccine.” If a child has an adverse reaction to the DTaP shot and has brain swelling within three days of the shot, a parent can sue; however, if the symptoms start on the fourth, fifth, or sixth day, there is no resort in the courts. Many times a physician illegally refuses to inform the CDC of any vaccine reactions.

Vaccine refusers are ridiculed and characterized as rebels, lawbreakers, and know-nothings who need to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century. I’m not going. I have a civil, human, religious, and legal right to decide what goes into my body. Thugs, tyrants, and totalitarians tell me I don’t. Most states have removed religious and philosophical reasons for refusing vaccinations, keeping only medical ones.

However, those same people tell me that a fornicating woman has a right to chop up, poison, or rip an unwanted child out of her womb, but I can’t decide what goes into my body.

That is atrocious!

We are told that an American has a right to decide to blow out his brains or to take a simple pill and go quickly and quietly into the dark night of eternity. He or she has a right to die but does not have a right to refuse a shot that may kill or injure him.

That is abhorrent!

We are told a boy, pretending to be a girl, against the wishes of a parent, has a right to take body-changing hormones, and have various organs chopped off, followed by further physical and emotional mutilations. But he does not have a right to refuse a shot.

That is appalling!

But the shot must go on. After all, very big bucks are involved. Plus, petty tyrants don’t like to hear the word no from their subjects.

Ordinary, decent people can disagree about vaccinations as to the age and health of the recipient, the number of shots given at once, the vaccine ingredients, reasons for refusing the shot, etc.; however, no sane person can agree with the legitimacy of a shot being forcibly administered. Now, a short dude (not referring to Dr. Fauci) in a fancy uniform, a funny mustache, and a foreign accent might argue such a case, but no rational person would do so.

My former lung specialist always closed our appointment with chart in hand as he smilingly said, “I assume you’ve already had your flu shot”—knowing for years my decision not to get shot. My current specialist doesn’t even ask the question.

ABC News reported on January 3, 2012, about Indiana University Health Goshen Hospital firing eight employees, “including at least three veteran nurses, after they refused mandatory flu shots.”

The hospital said they were concerned about “patient safety based on recommendations from the American Medical Association, the American Nurses Association, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” The hospital said 95 percent of their 26,000 employees statewide complied with the order. The math reveals that 1,300 employees did not comply, but only eight were fired. No reason was given. Why the erratic treatment?

Dr. William Schaffner, chair of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., said, “I cannot think of a reason for any health care professional to decline influenza immunization that’s valid.” Well, this is America, and each person should have the right to choose what goes into his or her body.

Or, maybe shot-decliners simply want to take a stand for their own independence and tell arrogant authorities and employers that the patient will make their own health decisions. It might be a religious objection. Or, maybe they are concerned about some of the vaccine’s ingredients such as mercury, formaldehyde, aborted baby material, etc.

Physicians and nurses are supposed to follow the first rule of medicine: “First, do no harm,” but they defend forcibly injecting a patient with a Jim Jones Kool-Aid concoction blended and produced by Jim Jones and Associates.

Final thought: since health experts can be (but are not always) lazy, stressed, angry, incompetent, dishonest, or arrogant pains in the posterior, you must take care of your health and always get a second or even third opinion.

I’ve given you mine.

It seems, ineptitude, ineffectiveness, insensitivity have always been the norm at the CDC. In 2014, the CDC senior research scientist Dr. William Thompson publicly admitted that he and his coauthors committed research fraud during the agency’s 2004 autism-MMR study. Republican Congressman Bill Posey pleaded with Congress to do an investigation without success. The intrepid politicians and mainstream media moguls were not interested in an investigation that would embarrass the health officials.

My critics will declare that the autism-measles connection has been settled; however, even if true, that is not the issue. The issue is the admitted cover-up.

While the scientists at the CDC are all highly credentialed with MDs and Ph.Ds., they often act like a bunch of elementary students. An October 25, 1986, UPS article revealed “infighting so severe among CDC researchers that some were sabotaging the experiments of their rivals. There were reportedly squabbles over who would get credit for writing certain papers. Some researchers charged high-level CDC officials with suppressing research. For example, one paper showing that commercially available spermicides will kill the AIDS virus within 60 seconds was blocked from publication.”

Can you imagine grown people, scientists yet, fussing over credit for a paper and sabotaging another’s experiments? Simply give credit to the person who wrote it! If there was more than one author, then credit each one! No big deal. But suppressing, sabotaging research, and blocking information the public needs is scandalous. Additionally, there was a significant fuss between two scientists as to which one had first discovered HIV as the cause of AIDS. Most people don’t know or remember that embarrassing fuss among the world’s top scientists.

That is no way to run a pig farm.

Dr. Gus Sermos, former Public Health Advisor and AIDS Researcher at the CDC, revealed in his book Doctors of Deceit that the “negligence, incompetence, arrogance and complete lack of leadership” during the AIDS epidemic by the Public Health authorities and the CDC have caused the American citizens to become nothing more than “unconsenting guinea pigs.” In the U.S., the AIDS epidemic infected 38,000 people in 2018, and in 2017, there were more than 16,000 HIV deaths.

Sermos was known as a “top U.S. expert in AIDS” and was an epidemiologist at the CDC having researched 850 cases of AIDS. He told me, “I worked eight years with the CDC on infectious diseases. We had guidelines we were always required to follow, but when AIDS came along, they disregarded their own guidelines! I was disillusioned.” In one of my four interviews with CDC spokesman Dr. Scott Holmberg, he denied the charge. I wasn’t surprised.

In my book, AIDS: Silent Killer!, on scores of talk shows, and in my columns in USA Today, I implored health officials to treat the AIDS plague as a health issue, not as a homosexual issue. I asked that the same procedures that had permitted U.S. health officials to discover, diagnose, and defeat the syphilis epidemic be followed in the AIDS battle. I asked for testing of all prisoners, all immigrants, all hospital patients, and all future patients so we could have an idea who was infected. That seemed fundamental to me.

It was not fundamental to leaders of our national health. In the January 16, 1987 issue, USA Today reported that Surgeon General Koop told Congress contract tracing of sexual partners would be “intrusive, impractical, and ineffective.” All sane people mocked his nonsensical statement. Note that no one is questioning that same protocol today with the Chinese coronavirus. Could it be because those carriers don’t have a powerful lobbying group as do homosexuals to defend their right to privacy?

During early HIV days when I was involved with the battle for common sense protocols, I stated that all who tested positive should be interviewed as to all their sexual contacts, then have those contacts interviewed and follow each of their sexual contacts. That was when I hit a stone wall.

However, that is precisely the protocols followed in the previous successful battle with the syphilis scourge. I then suggested that any AIDS carrier who had sex with anyone should be prosecuted. After all, dead is dead, whether by gun or germ. Bang! The stone wall came tumbling on my head.

Dr. Sermos declared that CDC ordered AIDS researchers not to notify the sexual contacts of AIDS patients about their exposure to HIV. That was insensitive and incredible and insane not to inform people that they were probably HIV infected for which there was no cure! That’s our public health organization! Health officials let people die rather than embarrass homosexuals—the foundation of HIPPA laws we live with today.

During a recent daily White House Chinese coronavirus briefing, Dr. Anthony Fauci said, “During that time, there was [an] extraordinary stigma, particularly against the gay community. It was only when the world realized how the gay community responded to this outbreak with incredible courage and dignity and strength and activism – I think that really changed some of the stigmas against the gay community, very much so.” Pathetic, pointless, pandering to perversion.

Fauci knows that the AIDS crisis was caused and driven by the absurd, abnormal, and abominable sexual practices of homosexual men. There is no legitimate comparison to the Chinese coronavirus that is usually contracted in an unknown, unknowable, unsullied way.

It is permissible to shame people to lose weight and to stop smoking, but one must never embarrass anyone for his deviant, dangerous, and deadly sexual practices. Scientists are not supposed to be sensitive to politics; however, that is a myth. The scientists at the CDC are dependent on federal funding; moreover, they also accept funding from Big Pharma. Wait a minute, isn’t that a significant conflict of interest?

My suggestions, demands, and requests were not only rejected, even ridiculed, but after the horse was out of the barn, the kitty was out of the sack, and the toothpaste out of the tube, some homosexual groups suggested the same protocols that I laid out in my book and on talk shows. But too late.

It appears that leading health officials are more desirous, dedicated, and determined to social management than truth and safety. Yet, most citizens are trusting them to put an end to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Never have so many trusted so few with so much— at such enormous costs.

Often a company, person, state, or nation is accused of conspiracy when the problem is an absence of competence or an abundance of cockiness. I’m not sure about the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institute of Health (NIH), and the World Health Organization (WHO). There may be various reasons for their many foul-ups. Whatever the reason, citizens who fund those health groups have reason to be cautious about accepting their decisions without hesitation.

At best, governments—even qualified health officials—consist of flawed people, some good, some great, others are opportunists, liars, drunks, pedophiles, fornicators, incompetents, etc. That has been true in all ages and all nations. The former Director of the CDC, Tom Frieden, avoided jail time in 2018 after pleading guilty to groping a longtime family friend in New York, and he no longer runs the CDC. Frieden had impeccable credentials and impressive connections, and an almost infinite amount of cash and still made a significant mess.

Anyone who automatically accepts what any politician or bureaucrat says is naïve—even gullible. That also goes for anyone wearing a white coat and is “board-certified.” We are in the middle of a health crisis that could be deadly for anyone, so it will be advantageous to look into the present and past decisions of U.S. health officials.

In 2010, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a report titled Office of Inspector General: CDC Lax in Policing Advisors’ Conflicts of Interest, revealing that the “CDC did not identify or resolve potential conflicts of interest for 64 percent of special Government employees in 2007.”

Just one of many problems at the CDC. And, a relatively minor one when compared with the following facts.

It seems, ineptitude, ineffectiveness, insensitivity have always been the norm at the CDC. In 2014 the CDC senior research scientist Dr. William Thompson publicly admitted that he, and his coauthors, committed research fraud during the agency’s 2004 autism-MMR study. Republican Congressman Bill Posey pleaded with Congress to do an investigation without success. The intrepid mainstream media moguls were not interested in an investigation.

An article such as this must include facts that astound, anger, and agitate every thinking person: U.S. health officials still permit shock treatments and lobotomies for mentally disturbed people! I would not trust such people or those who defend such activities to walk my dog. While respecting dedicated, qualified medics, keep in mind that some board-certified health officials are holdovers from the jungle witch doctor with his bag of chicken bones and hippopotamus dung.

All right, maybe that’s a little hyperbolic, but at least some are holdovers from leeches, bloodletting, and tonsillectomies for all youngsters.

At the end of December, Taiwan officials warned the WHO that the coronavirus was being spread through human-to-human contact. “The WHO, an ally first to China—whose communist party is hostile toward Taiwan—said two weeks later there was ‘no evidence’ this was the case.” It must be remembered that the WHO has been in bed with the Chinese Communist Party for a long time, and they showed it by citing defective, deceptive, and dishonest information from Communist officials. The Chinese officials did not want international travel to be restricted, and the WHO obediently parroted the Red leaders. That is the reason the world has been smacked with the Chinese coronavirus.

However, that deception should not surprise us knowing the background of the CDC, the NIH, and health officials in general. Their record runs from admirable to acceptable to appalling. The last of March, the WHO Director-General was finally asked to resign because of his alliance with Communist China. By then, the kitty was out of the sack.

Dr. Tom Frieden, Director of the CDC, not long before his downfall, declared in 2014 concerning the Ebola epidemic: “In my 30 years in public health, the only thing that has been like this is AIDS,” and “We have to work now so that this is not the world’s next AIDS.” That was nonsense on stilts from a health official fearful of a health tsunami that was expected to smash the U.S. It was nonsense because the CDC fight on AIDS was a fatal fiasco from the first. And the CDC Ebola response seemed to be a rerun of their AIDS effort.

National Public Radio yelled, “Critics Say Ebola Crisis Was WHO’s Big Failure.” The CDC didn’t come out any better as critics gave Frieden at the CDC a hard time “questioning if his experience and leadership style [were] enough to stop the virus from spreading in the United States.”

Not reassuring if we were facing a world epidemic.

If the CDC is as incompetent, insensitive, and inconsistent in dealing with the coronavirus as they were with Ebola and HIV, then we are in big trouble. I wrote AIDS: Silent Killer in 1987 and appeared on more than 200 talk shows trying to pressure U. S. health officials to act wisely, but they refused. Thirty-five million people have died of AIDS worldwide since that time.

Dr. Everett Koop was President Reagan’s Surgeon General, and he was an active Christian and outspoken opponent of abortion; however, he and Reagan were deficient in the AIDS fight. Koop did an outstanding job in fighting tobacco and obesity and often advised, “Stop your smoking” and “Stop gaining weight,” but he refused even to whisper, “Stop your sodomy.”

Remember, sodomy was the primary cause of HIV transmission! And still is. Koop and the CDC were complicit in a tragic, massive medical cover-up. Or were they merely guilty of cowardice or political correctness?

The CDC is supposed to function in the best interests of public health, but it is often an Office of Propaganda as they seek to protect their turf and federal funding and Big Pharma. And they must never, ever offend the LGBTQ crowd since that group drove the CDC’s effort during the AIDS battle.

Pandering to Big Pharma, Washington politicians, and the LGBTQ crowd, protecting their behinds, personal advancement, and polishing egos are only some of the problems at our health agency.

In another column, I will deal with even more shocking failures and cover-ups at health agencies.

During the London plague in 1665, city officials took control of most aspects of the peoples’ lives. They did so based on previously passed laws that were still available to them. Daniel Defoe, wrote in A Journal of the Plague Year, “This shutting up of the houses was a method first taken, as I understand, in the plague which happened in 1603, at the coming of King James I to the crown; and the power of shutting people up in their own houses was granted by act of Parliament, entitled An Act for the Charitable Relief and Ordering of Persons Infected with Plague. On which act of Parliament the lord mayor and aldermen of the city of London founded the order they made at this time, and which took place the 1st of July, 1665, when the numbers of infected within the city were but few.”

Similarly, laws (many oppressive and intrusive) were passed all over the world to deal with the Chinese coronavirus, and some of those laws will stay on the books for many years. Concerned citizens must be vigilant that any oppressive laws be temporary—not permanent.

During the 1665 plague, all funerals had to be held before or after sunset, and no friends or other mourners could attend. There was to be no eating at taverns, and the unspent money was to be given to the poor. I have found no indication if or how that was enforced.

While the Black Death was raging, London officials appointed examiners, “to continue in that office for the space of two months at least: and if any fit person so appointed shall refuse to undertake the same, the said parties so refusing to be committed to prison until they shall conform themselves accordingly.” The examiners were to visit homes and to discover any sickness and to ascertain if possible what diseases were present.

Wait a minute! What if the appointed people had other responsibilities? What if they were afraid of being around dead people? What if they were terrified of being infected and putting their families in danger? Too bad, they would be imprisoned.

During this time, female “searchers” were appointed to make sure the dead had died of the plague and report the deaths to town officials. Also, chirurgeons (ancient for surgeons) were appointed whether they wanted to serve or not.

The home of every infected person was “marked with a red cross of a foot long, in the middle of the door, evident to be seen, and with these usual printed words, that is to say, ‘Lord have mercy upon us,’ to be set close over the same cross, there to continue until lawful opening of the same house.” All letters were required to be in upper case.

What if an atheist refused to pay tribute to the Lord with the painted petition on his door? Too bad, no exceptions. And the ACLU was not yet doing their thing.

The searchers, chirurgeons, keepers, and buriers were not to be on the streets “without holding a red rod or wand of three foot in length in their hands, open and evident to be seen.” What if a person did not want to be identified as such? No option.

It was ordered, “every householder do cause the street to be daily prepared before his door, and so to keep it clean swept all the week long.” It was the city’s responsibility to keep the streets clean; however, it was now a homeowner’s job.

Laws were passed that prohibited “hogs, dogs, or cats, or tame pigeons, or conies,” to be kept within any part of the city, “or any swine to be or stray in the streets or lanes, but that such swine be impounded by the beadle [a parish constable of the Anglican Church, often charged with duties of charity] or any other officer, and the owner punished according to the act of common council; and that the dogs be killed by the dog killers appointed for that purpose.” Sorry, but all creatures were forbidden.

An order was published by the lord mayor, and by the magistrates, according to the advice of the physicians, that “all the dogs and cats should be immediately killed, and an officer was appointed for the execution.”

Defoe reveals that 40,000 dogs were killed and “five times as many cats.”

Town officials declared, “all plays, bear baitings, games, singing of ballads, buckler play, or such like causes of assemblies of people, be utterly prohibited.” Anyone defying the order was to be “severely punished.”

Markets were closed, but the lord mayor permitted “the country people who brought provisions to be stopped in the streets leading into the town, and to sit down there with their goods, where they sold what they brought, and went immediately away.” But, no chit-chatting.

Denmark has passed an emergency law that allows the government to force people to get a vaccination, although one is not available for the coronavirus. Also, citizens who refuse to be tested for the coronavirus will face fines and potential prison time and will be prevented from entering shops, grocery stores, public institutions, and hospitals while also being restricted from using public transport.

Rahm Emanuel declared in 2008, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” When citizens are fearful, politicians get afraid of appearing not to be in control. Their first fear is the fear of losing the next election. So, be careful when congress is in session. They will usually solve any problem before us with welfare or warfare.

Both can be deadly to personal freedom.
