A hospital gave Mary Sorg (76) a terminal prognosis, recommending she wait to die from Covid-19 in comfort care after the hospital’s treatment protocol failed to help her.
Then Mary and her family took matters into their own hands.
After doing research, Mary, her family, and her advocates were able to convince the reluctant hospital doctors to allow Mary—who has six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren—to receive a corticosteroid treatment called budesonide (here), administered through a nebulizer.
The budesonide treatment was recommended to Mary by patient advocates and Dr. Richard Bartlett, a 28-year medical practitioner and former member of Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s Health Disparities Task Force. Dr. Bartlett and his network have led countless patients suffering severe health deterioration after becoming infected with coronavirus through tremendous health reversals by prescribing one-milligram budesonide nebulizer treatments every four hours.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MARY:
After battling a COVID infection for nearly two weeks, Mary’s oxygen saturation level fell to 67% on Friday, at which point she was taken to the hospital.
The following evening, Mary’s health deteriorated and her granddaughter, Breck Johnson, found videos featuring Dr. Bartlett while researching ways to help her grandmother. Breck also contacted Greta Crawford, a COVID hospital survivor and founder of protocolkills.com.
On Sunday morning, Breck was able to contact Laura Bartlett—budesonideworks.com co-founder, patient advocate, and Dr. Bartlett’s publicist—as Mary’s health continued to decline and the medication prescribed by the hospital wasn’t working.
Laura coached the family on how to demand the protocol they wanted, including removing IV dexamethasone and adding nebulized budesonide. She contacted the owner of synergyhealthdpc.com, an online healthcare platform, on behalf of Mary’s family, to help obtain home oxygen and prescription medications for Mary once she left the hospital. Laura also coordinated with Ashley McCarty, a former ER nurse, who helped explain medical terms and procedures to Mary and family.
Across hundreds of daily texts and phone conversations, Laura explained to Breck the steps she’d need to take with the hospital in order to obtain budesonide treatment for her grandmother. Laura eventually transferred Breck to Dr. Bartlett on the phone, when Dr. Bartlett detailed the steps Breck and family would need to take in order to get Mary the budesonide treatment and emphasized the need to be assertive with the hospital.
By this point, Mary had “hit rock bottom,” Breck told American Faith. “Grandma kept saying things like ‘I’m done’ and ‘I can’t keep doing this. I’m so tired.'” But Mary’s family insisted they had found a promising new treatment. “Just hold on,” they told Mary. “We’re going to get you some help. We’re going to get you out of here. You’re not going to die in the hospital. We’re going to save you. Don’t worry.”
Breck told American Faith that the hospital had given no hope for Mary. “I could tell nobody in the hospital was fighting for her. And she felt it. She was scared,” Breck said.
Nevertheless, the family prayed for Mary and prepared for their conversation with the doctor, during which they would demand the budesonide treatment.
At this point, the hospital recommended that Mary be placed on a ventilator. Mary’s family told them ‘no.’
The hospital even advised moving Mary to comfort care, meaning the hospital had believed there was no chance Mary would recover.
Mary’s family declined comfort care, too, instead demanding the doctor give Mary one milligram of budesonide administered through a nebulizer every four hours.
The hospital doctor argued that the corticosteroid’s effectiveness was “not really proven,” but Mary’s family and advocates persisted in their demands for budesonide and ceasing dexamethasone treatment.
The hospital doctor reluctantly agreed, and while the hospital did not administer the amount they had initially asked for, the hospital eventually gave Mary the full dose of budesonide.
This is when Mary started getting better, her oxygen levels improving almost immediately. “It felt like Christmas,” Breck told American Faith. “Every time we called to check up on grandma, she was getting better. I could barely sleep that night. I was just so excited to call again to see how much she’d improved.”
From that point on, “the doctors never brought up death again,” according to Mary’s family. “We were all blown away.”
Breck went on to say that despite Mary’s astounding health reversal after being given budesonide, the hospital doctors never once acknowledged that the corticosteroid treatment had worked. “The doctor just acted like it was a crazy coincidence,” Mary’s family said.
Mary’s family and advocates were even able to secure 1.5 milligrams of budesonide every four hours for Mary, a landmark move for patient advocacy.
On Monday morning, the hospital had told Mary to say goodbye to her family. That same night, after taking budesonide, Mary was making arrangements to go home.
American Faith asked Mary what advice she’d give people who are experiencing what she went through. “Listen to your heart,” Mary told us. “Listen to your family. Trust and be open. Let your family members help you.”
Mary’s family also encourages families of sick COVID patients to, “even when you’re scared, and you feel like you don’t know it all, trust your gut and speak up for your loved one.”

WHAT DR. BARTLETT SAID:
“Budesonide has been proven to be effective for early treatment by Oxford University. Oxford did the stoic trial and concluded that 90% of COVID hospitalizations would be prevented with early budesonide treatment,” Dr. Bartlett told American Faith.
He also pointed to a publication in the journal Saudi Journal of Anesthesia showing that “Nebulized budesonide improved oxygenation, peak, and plateau airway pressures and significantly reduced inflammatory markers” among the sick, according to the study.
“Budesonide is a proven treatment for respiratory disease,” said Dr. Bartlett. “But many patients are being denied the life-saving treatment by hospitals.”
“Mary’s story proves the effectiveness of budesonide,” he went on to say. “This is evidence-based medicine at its purest. I credit those hospital doctors who allowed Mary the treatment. Because now, Mary’s coming home.”
Dr. Bartlett finished by warning that many “hospitals are trampling on the patient’s rights.” “But we do have some doctors who are willing to listen to their patient’s wishes,” he said. “Which is how Mary’s story ends with new life instead of a funeral.”
Dr. Bartlett also pointed to the work of Tennessee Senator Mark Pody and Texas Senator Bob Hall, who have legislated for patient rights throughout the COVID pandemic.
BACKGROUND:
Dr. Bartlett recommends searching budesonideworks.com for peer-reviewed studies, medical journal publications, and news articles proving the efficacy of budesonide.
“Early treatment saves lives,” says Dr. Bartlett. “If you get treated early, it doesn’t have to be a near-death experience. And if your doctor won’t treat you with budesonide, please visit synergyhealthdpc.com and navigate to the ‘COVID Care‘ section. A nurse will call you within 24 hours.”
Rumble — Dan Wos discusses the New York Legislature's new gun-grab bill AB-7771 and how it is designed to make it more difficult for law-abiding New Yorkers to defend themselves.
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The New York State Legislature is trying desperately to disarm law-abiding citizens with their new 2nd Amendment violating gun grab attempt called AB–7771. It’s a gun control bill that would make it nearly impossible for law-abiding citizens to own a gun in New York State.
Among other things, the bill includes the requirement of gun owners to pass a state-administered mental health exam before purchasing a gun. We’ve already seen how Democrats ignore their own delusional totalitarian views of the World and label their political opposition Nazis, terrorists, racists, deplorable, and crazy Trump supporters.
What kind of score do you think you’d get on a mental health evaluation administered by a Democrat-appointed mental health official?
AB–7771 also includes a required five-hour gun safety course with a state-administered exam, passing a shooting-range test with 90% accuracy, drug, and alcohol testing, approved firearm and ammunition storage, and a criminal background check. Keep in mind, if the gun owner is successful in meeting all these requirements and jumping through all the left-wing political hoops, the State of New York always reserves the right to refuse gun ownership …just because.
Remember, New York State is a “may” issue state which means your gun ownership can be denied for no reason at all. AB-7771 would create a more difficult path for gun owners, in the hopes they would choose not to possess firearms or make it easier to qualify them as “illegal” gun owners, subjecting good people to criminal charges. Should this bill become a law it would give “officials” a larger list of options to blame for gun purchase denial and more ways to disarm New Yorkers.
Keep in mind, The same bureaucrats who are pushing this bill, are letting prisoners out of jail at an unprecedented rate. Led by non-elected, placeholder “Governor” Hochul, New York State legislators seem to be doing everything they can to create a victim/predator society. Why would they do that? How would it serve Democrats in New York to make good people vulnerable while simultaneously empowering the bad guys? By creating a victim mentality and instilling unnecessary and irrational fear in citizens, they become much more compliant and willing to sacrifice their freedoms for “perceived” safety. By empowering criminals and giving them the ability to endanger society, totalitarian-minded power-seekers can create chaos the likes of which only they can fix by implementing more restrictions and policing tactics. In other words, they create the problems so they can provide the solution. The solution always includes the elimination of your rights and more control for them.
The old saying, “it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun” is not hyperbole. It is truth. That is why the political left likes to shame people who use the term. The idea of people protecting themselves from predators threatens the power of the predators by empowering the people. This scenario has been the bane of Democrats’ existence. A victim/predator society creates the perfect scenario for the Hero to come in and save the day. Guess who the “Hero” would be.
The good news is, because of the terrible job Joe Biden is doing at the national level, State level Democrats may be more hesitant to support laws like AB-7771 which blatantly violate the rights of their Constituents. Regardless, New Yorkers need to step up and speak out against these tyrants before they can create more self-serving violence at the expense of those who fund their paychecks.
The 2nd Amendment is not a privilege. It’s your right.

(Natural News) Canadian authorities under the leadership of left-wing authoritarian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford have made good on their promise to use force to end a trucker protest that seeks an end to a pointless COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Heavily armed police using armored vehicles and sporting automatic weapons while also deploying snipers — this Freedom Convoy protest has never been violent, by the way — moved in on Monday to clear an international bridge of trucks, drivers and supporters after they had all essentially been labeled ‘terrorists’ and ‘threats to the national economic interest’ by people who locked down their economies for nearly two years.
Heavily armed police came to the site, including officers from the Windsor Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police, RCMP, and others. There are also armored vehicles and several police cruisers.
Most trucks and other vehicles were cleared from the blockade early in the day, but [the] standoff with protesters on foot continued.
A line of police officers advanced on the protesters around mid-day, pushing them further away from the site of the blockade.
Police said in the afternoon that it had started ticketing and towing vehicles at the protest site.
“The Windsor Police and its policing partners have commenced enforcement at and near the Ambassador Bridge,” the department noted on social media. ‘We urge all demonstrators to act lawfully and peacefully. Commuters are still being asked to avoid the areas affected by the demonstrations at this time.”
“Vehicles blocking the Ambassador Bridge pulling out one by one. Still being cheered on by protesters as dozens of police officers have surrounded them,” CBC News reporter Thomas Daigle noted on Twitter.
Protester Domenico Pelle told The Epoch Times that some demonstrators informed police that while they will leave on Monday after being forced out, if the province refuses to lift the COVID-19 vaccine mandates in a couple of days, they are coming back.
“We’re trying to uphold our Charter of Rights and Freedoms out here,” Pelle, a machinist, said at one protest site.
“The convoy protest, applauded by right wing media as a ‘freedom protest,’ is an economic and security issue now. The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 28% of annual trade movement between US and Canada,” tweeted Juliette Kayyem. “Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks.”
She then doubled down on her tyranny: “Trust me, I will not run out of ways to make this hurt: cancel their insurance; suspend their drivers’ licenses; prohibit any future regulatory certification for truckers, etc. Have we learned nothing? These things fester when there are no consequences,” Kayyem tweeted.
(Natural News) The longer left-wing Western leaders use the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to become authoritarians, the less legitimacy their governments will hold with the citizens they mean to rule, and chaos will ensue.
On Monday, Trudeau invoked emergency authorities meant for wartime so he could crush the ongoing Freedom Convoy protests against his insane COVID-19 vaccine mandate, drawing immediate criticism from one of the country’s top civil rights groups.
Among the actions Trudeau is taking include freezing bank accounts of anyone associated with the protests, including Canadians who provide the truckers with any material support — an action normally reserved for dictatorships.
“This is not a peaceful protest,” Trudeau lied during a press conference, adding: “The federal government is stepping in because local police authorities have had difficulty enforcing the law.”
Then he lied again: “This is about keeping Canadians safe, protecting people’s jobs and restoring confidence in our institutions.”
“We are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover Crowd Funding Platforms and the payment service providers they use,” Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland added.
“This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades,” she said, adding: “A bank or other financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account without a court order.”
Literally, by abusing his authority, Trudeau and his government toadies are undermining “confidence” in Canadian government institutions; Trudeau has effectively implemented martial law in the country, but according to Human Events editor Jack Posobiec, not all Canadian leaders are on board with the tyranny.
“BREAKING: Premiers of Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan oppose Trudeau decision to invoke the Emergencies Act on the truckers,” he tweeted.
In a series of tweets, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association notes:
The federal government has not met the threshold necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act. This law creates a high and clear standard for good reason: the Act allows government to bypass ordinary democratic processes. This standard has not been met.
The Emergencies Act can only be invoked when a situation “seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada” & when the situation “cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.”
Governments regularly deal with difficult situations, and do so using powers granted to them by democratically elected representatives. Emergency legislation should not be normalized. It threatens our democracy and our civil liberties.
It should be plain to more people that their ruling ‘liberal democrats’ are not democratic at all but are instead closet authoritarians using a virus as a means to permanently change the form of government.
If liberty-minded people throughout Western societies don’t stand up now while they can, there will come a time in the not-too-distant future when they won’t be able to at all without bloodshed.
Trudeau’s half-brother believes that COVID is 'more about control and centralization of power...'

Justin Trudeau is a general without an army: Freedom Convoy spokesman
Rumble — Benjamin Dichter blasts the Canadian prime minister for cracking down on demonstrations against COVID-19 mandates on 'Hannity.'
Canadian Prime Minister refuses to meet with truckers amid threat of severe economic consequences
Rumble — Over the past few weeks Canadian Freedom Convoy protesters, have been called terrorists and fascists by the mainstream media. One Canadian reporter is debunking that false rhetoric. She caught up with One America's Caitlin Sinclair to discuss the matter.
This week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the lightweight, unpopular elected leader of a country with a 93% vaccination rate for those over 60 and a total vaccination rate of 84%, announced that he would invoke the Emergencies Act in order to crack down on the Freedom Convoy — a group of protesters opposed to government vaccination mandates for truckers. Trudeau breathily announced that invocation of the law was in fact “reasonable and proportionate.” His public safety minister, Marco Mendicino, said that the actions were required thanks to “intimidation, harassment, and expressions of hate.”
Why the government would need to invoke emergency powers in order to move some trucks remains beyond understanding; after all, the police had just removed trucks from the Ambassador Bridge, reopening that trade artery with the United States. Meanwhile, provinces across Canada have already begun alleviating their COVID-19 restrictions, from vaccine passports to masking. There is no emergency here that would justify use of the Emergencies Act — as even the BBC noted, “It is so far unclear which scenario Mr. Trudeau would rely on to justify the use of the Emergency Act — [the relevant threats have not] been clearly present in Ontario.”
Nonetheless, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland explained that the government would be extending laws designed to stop terror funding to now encompass crackdowns on political dissent: “Financial service providers will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account without a court order. In doing so, they will be protected against civil liability for actions taken in good faith.” In plain language, this means that the government of Canada has now empowered banks to freeze accounts who give money to political causes the government doesn’t like.
The move to de-bank disfavored political actors has already been gaining steam — in January 2021, PayPal blocked a Christian crowdfunding site from using its services; the next month, Paypal announced it would work with the Left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center to find users to boot. As one of Paypal’s original creators, David Sacks, wrote, “when your name lands on a No-Buy List created by a consortium of private fintech companies, to whom can you appeal?” In Canada, it’s worse than that: The de-banking has become government sponsored.
And if Trudeau is able to invoke emergency powers to de-bank his political opponents — people he has labeled racists simply for opposing his vaccine mandates — where, precisely, does this end? What’s to stop powerful political actors from violating liberties on the same pretext?
The answer, of course, is nothing. And perhaps that’s the point: from now on, dissent against Left-wing perspectives may be criminalized. Watch what you say — your bank account is on the line.
Over the course of the past century, the political Left made a promise: that if they were granted more and more centralized power, they would protect their citizens, particularly during times of emergency. That promise was always a lie, but the pandemic exploded that lie in particularly egregious fashion. This left the Left with two options: to abandon that article of faith, an idea central to their entire worldview; or to persecute heretics. Trudeau, unsurprisingly, has chosen the latter. Emergency powers will be necessary until the people enthusiastically agree that their betters in government ought to rule them.
(Natural News) Dr. Robert Malone, the brilliant scientist and co-inventor of mRNA technology, dropped new bombshells during an interview this week with Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Malone addressed his recent experience with cancel culture following an appearance on top podcaster Joe Rogan’s show last month, during which he revealed a number of things about the COVID-19 vaccines and the surrounding authoritarianism regarding them.
Rogan, in turn, was blasted by the fascist Nazi left for daring to have Malone and another guest on his program who do not embrace the groupthink surrounding pandemic-related mandates, rules and restrictions (most notably because he knows they are nothing but control mechanisms). Not only was Rogan attacked by the left-wing outrage mob, but an effort was launched to get him thrown off of Spotify, the podcasting platform that signed him to a $100 million deal last year.
“We have had rules in place for many years but admittedly, we haven’t been transparent around the policies that guide our content more broadly. This, in turn, led to questions around their application to serious issues including COVID-19,” CEO Daniel Ek wrote.
“Based on the feedback over the last several weeks, it’s become clear to me that we have an obligation to do more to provide balance and access to widely-accepted information from the medical and scientific communities guiding us through this unprecedented time,” he continued. “These issues are incredibly complex.”
Why would the platform’s CEO come down on Rogan after signing him to a massive deal? Perhaps because the order came from ‘higher up’: Malone revealed to Carlson that the top owner in the Spotify platform is also a top owner in vaccine maker Moderna.
“This is about political warfare and information warfare,” he told Carlson for an episode of “Tucker Carlson Today.”
“All of these chatters that many have bought into that it’s about culture wars, it’s about vaccines. No, it’s not – It’s about power and money. It’s about Spotify’s market cap dropping,” he said.
“So, the fascinating point is that the major owner, the top owner of Spotify is also the top owner of Moderna,” Malone added.
Interestingly, his claim was substantiated by a real journalist, The Tennessee Star‘s Peter D’Abrosca:
Malone’s claim checks out.
The largest stakeholder in Moderna is Baillie Gifford and Company, which owns almost 46 million shares of the company’s stock, valued at more than $11.6 billion.
Baillie Gifford and Company is also the largest stakeholder in Spotify, holding more than 22 million shares of that company’s stock, valued at more than $22 billion.
Baillie Gifford and Company is a worldwide asset management fund founded in Scotland, which has headquarters in New York City and London. It manages a portfolio of nearly half a trillion dollars.
“Through each successive generation of partners, our singular focus on generating superior long-term investment results for our clients has been the bedrock of our own growth,” according to its website. “Baillie Gifford today is wholly owned by its 47 partners – all of whom work within the firm. Growth has been organic, with no mergers or acquisitions, and we are committed to remaining independent.”
The 47 partners are not identified.
D’Abrosca goes on to point out that it’s not at all clear that the investment behemoth is involved in the campaign to silence Rogan, which is being carried out by propagandized left-wing agitators and cancel culturalists, “the link itself has created an appearance of impropriety.”
Malone is right: Money and power are at the root of all of this ‘controversy’ surrounding him, Rogan and the vaccine narratives. Not ‘science.’
Pfizer and BioNTech have requested emergency use authorization (EUA) for doctors to administer two doses of their mRNA COVID-19 biologic to infants as young as six months old. A statement from Pfizer states that the “rolling submission” application was submitted on Feb. 1, 2022 at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “in response to the urgent public health need in this population.”1Ten days later the company withdrew the request to gather more data on the vaccine’s effectiveness, which was suboptimal in two to four year olds, and provide evidence for a three dose primary series, rather than two doses.2
Pfizer Vaccine Fails to Elicit Robust Immune Response in Younger Children
Pfizer’s own data3 demonstrates that the vaccine failed to elicit a strong enough immune response with just two three microgram doses for some within the age group making the EUA process unique from any other age group’s authorization thus far. Pfizer had originally sought authorization for two doses to allow parents of young children to begin the vaccination process while awaiting potential authorization of a third dose. The third dose is scheduled to be administered no earlier than eight weeks after the second dose.4
Some physicians and public health officials have expressed concern that such an unusual vaccine approval application will further deter parents from vaccinating their children.4 As it currently stands, the FDA has granted an EUA to Pfizer for five- to 11-year-olds to receive two 10 microgram doses of the COVID vaccine and also approved a 30-microgram booster dose for ages 12 and up.5
CDC Data Says Booster Less Beneficial to Younger People
Newly published data released from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirms that the rationale for booster doses is less compelling in terms of providing benefit to younger populations compared to adults.6Dr. Dan Barouch, a virologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, stated:
I’m in favor of boosters, but I don’t want to overstate their importance. The benefit of a booster dose is clearly greater in the elderly. It is progressively less in the lower risk groups.”6
The FDA’s Vaccines & Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) had been scheduled to meet on Feb. 15 to review the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness data and discuss Pfizer’s request. The FDA authorized the two-dose vaccine for use in children five through 11 years old in October 2021. According to the CDC, approximately one third of children in that age group have received the vaccine.7
An article by VOX states that giving COVID vaccines to children will help stop the spread of the virus and relieve stress on hospitals and allow schools to stay open…
[Vaccines for young children] would also provide peace of mind to parents, caregivers, and teachers whose lives have been repeatedly disrupted as the highly transmissible omicron variant continues to rage.
The article continues stating that vaccination of this age group, which makes up more than 20 million children, would help to close one of the biggest remaining gaps in vaccine eligibility.4
Only 27 Percent of Parents Eager to Vaccinate Children Under 12
An October survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation8 found that only 27 percent of parents with children ages five to 11 years old were “eager” to get the vaccine for their children while 30 percent said they will definitely not allow the vaccine to be given to their young children. Parents cited concerns over potential long-term side effects as well as the desire to “wait and see” how the vaccine is working.
Some Physician Researchers Urge Caution in Giving COVID Vaccine to Children
A group of physician researchers who collectively pioneered several vaccines and experimental cancer drugs wrote an opinion piece8 for The Washington Times in October urging the public to apply the brakes in the hastiness of administering the new COVID vaccine to the pediatric population. The article outlines the existing disabling reactions in adults, the use of novel mRNA technology which releases pro-inflammation factors with no built in “off” switch, and the fact that COVID is rarely causing severe illness in children.
The authors also outlined the history of medicine and how we have seen “time and time again” tragic side effects which are not known until decades later. The article concludes:
There is a lot that we don’t know about the long-term safety of available COVID-19 vaccines. Bottom line, no health professional in good conscience can look a parent in the eye today and say these vaccines are unequivocally safe. As medical students, we took the Hippocratic oath, a promise to practice ‘primum non nocere,’ meaning ‘first, do no harm.’ Let us patiently wait for the completion of long-term safety studies before we rush ahead blindly with blanket public health solutions that may cause unintentional and irreparable harm.8
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he is invoking the Emergencies Act to try and put a stop to the Freedom Convoys that have shut down traffic—and much of the commerce—in Canada. The truckers, protesting vaccine mandates, have clogged roads, leading to chaos on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. Among other actions, the Canadian government will freeze the assets of truck owners participating in the protests and suspend their insurance policies. In addition, the prime minister said that, under the Emergencies Act, the government will have the power to “compel” tow-truck drivers to remove rigs blocking roads, which sounds an awful lot like forced labor, i.e. slavery.
According to the CBC:
The Emergencies Act, which replaced the War Measures Act in the 1980s, defines a national emergency as a temporary “urgent and critical situation” that “seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it.”
[…]
The act gives special powers to respond to emergency scenarios affecting public welfare (natural disasters, disease outbreaks), public order (civil unrest), international emergencies or war emergencies.
Trudeau assured Canadians that he is “not using the Emergency Powers Act to deploy the military.”
Asked what it would take for him to bring the military in, he said, “I’m not going to engage in hypotheticals right now. I think that what is most important is that Canadians get their lives back, their neighborhoods back, their communities back. The measures that we put forward today will give the tools to law enforcement to be able to move in even stronger ways against these illegal protests and blockades that are hurting Canadians.”
“We are not limiting the right to peacefully protest or assemble. What we want to do is protect Canadians, protect their jobs, and reinstate confidence in their institutions.”
The protests were prompted by a requirement that all truckers be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or quarantine for 14 days, after crossing into Canada from the U.S. The blockades began last month, with protesters descending on the capital city of Ottowa on Jan. 29.
“Invoking the Emergency Powers Act is never the first thing the government should do, or the second,” the PM added. “The Act should be used sparingly, as a last result.”
It “gives more powers to the police of jurisdiction,” he said.
“We’ll always defend the right of Canadians to peacefully assemble … but these blockades are illegal and if you are still participating, the time to go home is now,” he declared. “The Canadian border services agencies are already trying to turn back non-Canadians who are seeking to enter the country.”
Deputy PM Christia Freeland explained that the Emergencies Act will be used to cut off financial support to the protesters. “This is about following the money,” she said. “This is about stopping the financing of the illegal blockades.”
“Consider yourself warned. If your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended. Send your rigs home,” she said, adding that the government’s powers would include cracking down on crowdfunding sites, making them register with the government, and freezing the assets of those involved in helping to fund the protests.
“I know that everyone is tired of this pandemic. We’re hearing your frustration with COVID … and with the temporary measures we had to put forward to keep people safe … you have a right to express that frustration … it’s something we’ll always defend,” Trudeau said, but “depriving your neighbors of their freedoms is a totally different thing. It has to stop.”
Trudeau could end what he is calling an “illegal occupation” in thirty seconds by easing his government’s draconian COVID mandates. Instead of heeding the will of the Canadian people, he doubled down and poured gas on the fire by cracking down on dissenters. Will Canadians push back or go willingly into the dark night of Trudeau’s totalitarianism? Stay tuned.
(Natural News) Moderna President Stephen Hoge once said that if you can hack the rules of mRNA, “essentially the entire kingdom of life is available for you to play with.”
With the mRNA technology now available in coronavirus vaccine doses, Hoge’s remark suddenly sounded dire. It made people think that someone is about to play with their lives.
Dr. David Martin, an outspoken critic of the mRNA vaccine, noted that vaccine has to stimulate immunity within the person receiving it and disrupt transmission to other people.
“This is not a vaccine … using the term vaccine to sneak this thing under public health exemptions. This is mRNA packaged in a fat envelope that is delivered to a cell. It is a medical device designed to stimulate the human cell into becoming a pathogen creator,” Dr. Martin said, referring to the mRNA coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines being used to inoculate the population in many countries worldwide.
“They have been abundantly clear in saying that the mRNA strand that is going into the cell is not to stop transmission. It is a treatment. But if it was discussed as a treatment, it would not get the sympathetic ear of public health authorities, because then people would say ‘What other treatments are there?'”
Dr. Martin warned that with the mRNA vaccines, people are getting injected with a chemical substance to induce illness and not to induce an immuno-transmissive response. “In other words, nothing about this is going to stop you transmitting anything. This is about getting you sick, and having your own cells be the thing that get you sick,” he said. (Related: Study links Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine to painful skin reactions after inoculation.)
The website Humans are Free reported in January that Moderna has admitted that its mRNA technology platform is similar to a computer operating system. Scientists prepare a unique mRNA sequence that codes for a specific protein. Once injected into humans, this program is carried out in the individual’s body – at the cellular level.
“The mRNA platform is where Big Pharma merges with Big Tech, enslaving human beings to a controlling system designed to profit from their cellular and biological functions into the unforeseeable future,” the Humans are Free article stated.
The article accused the people behind the mRNA experimentation of building psychological justification and scientific precedent to declare human immune systems incapable of combating diseases.
In this way, the article said, people, will submit their bodies to the latest mRNA programs as they become dependent on the biological software that has been created for them.
By casting shame on human immune systems, drug companies have also found the perfect alibi for when their experiments cause injury in humans.
It’s not the injected technology that is causing allergic reactions, seizures, infertility and death, the drug companies would claim. It’s the individual’s immune system that is causing all the pain and misery, they would say.
The drug companies would then demand more carefully crafted mRNA programs and interventions to “perfect” human beings.
mRNA vaccine teaches our cells how to make a protein
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, the mRNA vaccine teaches our cells how to make a protein – or even just a piece of a protein – that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. That immune response, which produces antibodies, is what protects us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies.
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give instructions for our cells to make a harmless piece of what is called the “spike protein.” The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19.
Once the instructions (mRNA) are inside the immune cells, the cells use them to make the protein piece. After the protein piece is made, the cell breaks down the instructions and gets rid of them.
Next, the cell displays the protein piece on its surface and our immune systems will recognize that the protein doesn’t belong there and begin building an immune response and making antibodies. At the end of the process, our bodies have learned how to protect against future infection.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization has issued interim recommendations for use of the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine against COVID-19 in people aged 18 years and older.
Moderna uses modified RNA to reprogram function of human stem cell
Moderna has several hundred scientists and engineers solely focused on advancing the company’s platform technology – the mRNA.
They are attempting to “hack” humans with bio-information and make populations dependent on the technology. Moderna has even dubbed their mRNA platform the “Software of Life.”
Moderna scientists are looking for ways to help the foreign mRNA avoid immune detection. They are experimenting with ways to trick the cell’s ribosomes into processing the mRNA as if it was natural. They are also plotting ways to instruct the human cells to produce the artificial proteins long term.
Moderna was founded on the success of using modified RNA to reprogram the function of a human stem cell, therefore genetically modifying it.
Dr. Martin may be wrong after all. This system is neither a vaccine nor a medicine. This system is complete cellular manipulation, using foreign biological molecules to code, decode, regulate, change the expression of and alter the physiological instructions within human beings.
Hoge’s remark from a few years ago made perfect sense.

After doing over 350 interviews in my career, I rarely get shaken by a guest. That rare event occurred today when I interviewed Dr. Li-Meng Yan. She told me things from her various sources, many of which are in China with direct knowledge, that blew my mind. Is the CCP developing another bioweapon? The answer to that is almost certainly yes, but Dr. Yan went a step further. She explained that they are already unleashing one onto the world through the Olympic games in Beijing today.
It's important to understand that she and her sources are highly credible. There have been concerted efforts to discredit her, but her claims as far back as early 2020 have invariably been proven accurate. The powers-that-be attempted to debunk her claims that Covid-19 was developed in a lab. They tried to disprove what she's said all along, that Peter Daszak and Anthony Fauci had intimate knowledge of the gain-of-function research that was going on in Wuhan. They even tried to prove she was wrong about the inefficacy of the vaccines. All of her claims have been verified and she has been vindicated multiple times.
SHOCK CLAIM: China has released another bioweapon during the Olympic games… a hemorrhagic fever virus… here’s nutritional info on what may BLOCK it in your blood
republished below in full unedited for educational & research purposes:
(Natural News) In a bombshell interview with JD Rucker (see below), former Hong Kong virologist and CCP whistleblower Dr. Li-Meng Yan — who was right all along about the gain-of-function origins of SARS-CoV-2 — has publicly alleged that the CCP and PLA are releasing a new, engineered bioweapon onto athletes and participants at the Beijing Olympic games. This deliberate release, says Dr. Yan, is timed to infect participants from dozens of countries around the world who will then unknowingly transport hemorrhagic fever to their home countries, unleashing another wave of a global pandemic.
Go to the 42:00 mark in the following video from JD Rucker, which has been hosted on both Rumble and Brighteon, to hear Dr. Yan explaining this in detail. JD Rucker is found on Substack.com.
Dr. Yan has also explained this in a public tweet as follows:
According to Creative Destruction Media, “Well-placed sources have informed CDMedia that the armed forces of the Chinese Communist Party, the People’s Liberation Army, have launched another virus on its own people during the Olympics in Beijing, in order for athletes and diplomats to return home and infect the rest of the world, particularly the West.”
CDM also explains how the virus has been engineered to extend its incubation time for maximum global impact:
The virus has been altered inside a laboratory to make the incubation period longer than usual, now suspected at 3-4 weeks, in order to allow visitors to Beijing to return home with no symptoms during transit… The virus is said to be highly transmissible, and causes bleeding through multiple orifices of the body, even the skin.
A prescription drug that’s approved to treat multiple myeloma is known by China to function as an “antidote” to their engineered bioweapon
What’s fascinating here is that, according to Dr. Yan, the CCP is already aware of an antidote to their new hemorrhagic fever bioweapon, and they are actively hoarding the Johnson & Johnson drug that serves this function.
According to Dr. Yan’s sources, the drug is known as Darzalex (daratumumab), and it is very expensive and somewhat uncommon. It has nowhere near the wide availability of ivermectin.
The drug works by targeting the CD38 glycoprotein which is over-expressed in multiple myeloma patients. It is believed that the engineered hemorrhagic fever bioweapon causes a tidal wave of CD38 production in the body, interfering with immune function and causing sudden cell death (among other problems).
CD38 is type II membrane glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion, migration, and signal transduction. Additionally, CD38 is an ectoenzyme involved in generation of nucleotide metabolites, such as ADP-Ribose (Lee, 2006). CD38 expression is highly upregulated on human plasma cells and especially on MM cells.
From the NIH / PubMed site, here’s a study describing how the J&J drug targets the CD38 glycoprotein and treats multiple myeloma cancer:
Daratumumab is a human monoclonal antibody that targets CD38, a cell surface protein that is overexpressed on multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Preclinical studies have shown that daratumumab induces MM cell death through several mechanisms, including complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and apoptosis.
The relationship between CD38 and NAD+
Although this is a simplification, there is a relationship in every human body between CD38 — the “bad” protein” — and NAD+ — the “good” molecule. NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
To put it simply, when NAD+ levels are too low, it causes an over-expression of CD38. Higher levels of CD38 lead to inflammation and cell malfunctions while also suppressing NAD+, leading to a self-reinforcing spiral into inflammation, aging, lack of cellular energy and other health problems.
Dr. J.E. Williams, a complementary medicine and anti-aging doctor, has an excellent article explaining the dynamics of all this. It’s called, “How to reach the 100 year life with NAD+“.
I cover his article and recommendations in detail in today’s Situation Update podcast (below).
The amazing lifesaving secret of anthocyanins – which you can grow yourself
One of the key strategies Dr. Williams reveals is how to suppress CD38 production using anthocyanins, which are pigmentation molecules found in foods and herbs. When looking at fresh produce and plants, almost any plant with a dark red, dark blue or blackish-looking color is filled with anthocyanins, which are in a class of functional plant molecules known as flavonoids.
Black current, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, red cabbage, purple corn and other similar plants with strong color pigmentation are all functional, medicinal plants. As I point out in my podcast below — which really is one of the most important I’ve ever published — you can also grow your own anthocyanins using off-grid, non-electric hydroponic grow systems that use no electricity or moving parts. By simply planting red cabbage, red oak leaf lettuce, eggplant or other types of fruits or vegetables, you will benefit from Mother Nature’s manufacturing of anthocyanins, which you can eat as natural medicine (let thy food be thy medicine).
In theory — although this is not yet proven in clinical trials — a high intake of natural plant-based anthocyanins could halt the over-expression of CD38 upon exposure to a hemorrhagic fever virus or nanoparticle attack, thereby preventing death. This is a working theory, but it is a plausible theory rooted in nutritional science. Notably, there is no down side to consuming more anthocyanins, as they are widely documented to help prevent inflammation, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and many other diseases or health conditions. Therefore, there is no downside to the strategy of deliberately consuming more POC (Plants of Color) as a prophylactic (prevention) strategy against the possibility of exposure to China’s new biological weapon.
In addition to anthocyanins sourced from common foods, Dr. Williams suggests some other plant-based molecules that may be useful at suppressing CD38 levels in the body:
Taxifolin is the flavonoid antioxidant dihydroquercetin. It inhibits cancer cells, lowers inflammation, and is useful in the treatment of cardiovascular and chronic liver disease.
Apigenin is also a flavonoid antioxidant. Apigenin crosses the blood-brain barrier to lower inflammation, improve cell function, enhance brain health, and has anticancer effects.
Luteolin is another flavonoid found in plants and medicinal herbs. It lowers inflammation, has anticancer properties, and regulates estrogen metabolism.
Callistephin is the anthocyanin, a type of flavonoid that makes foods dark blue, like blueberries and wine grapes. And, pomegranates are good sources of callistephin.
Kuromanin is an anthocyanin found in mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, hibiscus, black currants, red raspberries, lychees, and Peruvian purple corn.
As I note in my podcast below, all of these can be acquired by juicing fresh fruits and vegetables and consuming those raw, living juices. Remember that cooking anthocyanins can degrade / destroy those delicate molecules, so these must typically be consumed in their raw forms. This is one of the key advantages of a raw food lifestyle (i.e. David Wolfe, an expert in raw foods, has spent decades teaching people about these benefits, and he’s correct).
Note that anthocyanins are also present in acai berries and many different berry varieties. Related molecules known as phycocyanins are found in huge quantities in some species of microalgae such as spirulina. The Hawaii-based company known as “Cyanotech” — which supplies astaxanthin and spirulina to the dietary supplements industry — is based on the very high presence of phycocyanins in spirulina. (I toured the Cyanotech facility many years ago and saw their lab where they extracted the phycocyanins to make medical dyes used in medical imaging applications.)
The word root “cyan” refers to the bluish color. So the word “anthocyanins” is based on the idea of blue color molecules. The color indicates many things about its functional use in human health.
Anthocyanins are colored water-soluble pigments belonging to the phenolic group. The pigments are in glycosylated forms. Anthocyanins responsible for the colors, red, purple, and blue, are in fruits and vegetables. Berries, currants, grapes, and some tropical fruits have high anthocyanins content. Red to purplish blue-colored leafy vegetables, grains, roots, and tubers are the edible vegetables that contain a high level of anthocyanins. Among the anthocyanin pigments, cyanidin-3-glucoside is the major anthocyanin found in most of the plants.
Besides the use of anthocyanidins and anthocyanins as natural dyes, these colored pigments are potential pharmaceutical ingredients that give various beneficial health effects. Scientific studies, such as cell culture studies, animal models, and human clinical trials, show that anthocyanidins and anthocyanins possess antioxidative and antimicrobial activities, improve visual and neurological health, and protect against various non-communicable diseases. These studies confer the health effects of anthocyanidins and anthocyanins, which are due to their potent antioxidant properties. Different mechanisms and pathways are involved in the protective effects, including free-radical scavenging pathway, cyclooxygenase pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, and inflammatory cytokines signaling.
Note that all these molecules are water soluble, meaning if you’re dehydrated or don’t have good cellular hydration metabolism in place, your body won’t be able to distribute these molecules to where they’re needed. Proper hydration is critical to the distribution of these functional molecules throughout your body. I recently interviewed Energized Health founders John and Chelsea Jubilee who are experts in cellular hydration and have a health coaching program that teaches people how to dramatically improve intracellular hydration. You can see that video interview at this link. (Disclaimer: Energized Health is a sponsor of Brighteon.TV)
That science article above also lists anthocyanin content in common foods, mostly fruits:
Types of anthocyanin and anthocyanidin in fruit: Acai berry (Euterpe oleracea Martius) – whole fruit [43] cya-3-glu, cyan-3-rut, del-3-gal, del-3-glu, del-3-rut, peo-3-glu
We also publish articles about functional phytonutrients at Phytonutrients.news.
The bottom line: Prepare for a new global outbreak of hemorrhagic fever, and prepare yourself using knowledge of nutrition
If Dr. Yan is correct, our world is about to be subjected to something akin to “COVID 2.0” — but far worse if it’s an engineered hemorrhagic fever bioweapon.
Unlike the case with covid, there’s no simple, low-cost, widely-available drug that we know of which will prevent 80% of deaths (or even close to that). Ivermectin has saved countless lives in the context of covid, but ivermectin is not effective against hemorrhagic fever (at least not that we know of).
This underscores the importance of nutritional preparedness — getting your body’s terrain ready for an onslaught of aggressive, deadly nanoparticles or “virus” strains which are apparently being deployed against humanity in an escalation of the global war against the human race.
With covid, those who died the quickest were those with comorbidity factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes and respiratory conditions. When it comes to hemorrhagic fever attacks, it may turn out that those who have poor nutrition and who live on processed, nutrient-depleted foods may be the most vulnerable.
Get the full details in today’s powerful, information-packed podcast here:
(Natural News) A coalition of lawyers and judges from all around the world has convened to prosecute the “crimes against humanity” perpetrated by governments and their psychopathic puppet masters in the name of “fighting covid” and “saving lives.”
The international cohort, which calls itself the Peoples’ Court of Public Opinion, gathered in Germany recently to detail the many human rights violations inflicted by corrupt politicians under the directive of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
“This case, involving the most heinous crimes against humanity committed under the guise of a corona pandemic, looks complicated only at first glance,” said German attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich in his opening statement (watch below).
Fuellmich went on to highlight how the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) plandemic was purposely engineered by the establishment to usher humanity into a new technocratic “great reset” system under a centralized global power structure.
“One, there is no corona pandemic, but only a PCR test ‘plandemic’ fueled by an elaborate psychological operation designed to create a constant state of panic among the world’s population,” Fuellmich said. “This agenda has been long planned.”
Covid isn’t about saving lives; it’s about ending them
Fuellmich believes that this was all tried before with swine flu, the precursor to covid. More than a decade ago, the genocidal maniacs in charge of the planet tried to rile up the world about Pig Germs but it failed.
Fast-forward to 2020 and they apparently honed their mind control craft to convince enough of the world to play along with the scam, which is still going on some two years after it was first launched.
“[Covid’s] ultimately unsuccessful precursor was the swine flu some 12 years ago, and it was cooked up by a group of super rich psychopathic and sociopathic people who hate and fear people at the same time, have no empathy, and are driven by the desire to gain full control over all of us, the people of the world,” Fuellmich maintains.
They’re using “governments and the mainstream media” to spread “panic propaganda 24/7,” he contends.
The fact that there are numerous easy, inexpensive and viable remedies for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) that are not allowed to be prescribed speaks volumes about the level of evil taking place here on a global scale.
Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) are two of the most powerful remedies for the Fauci Flu that are next to impossible to get from the current medical system. Zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D have also been shown to fight Wuhan Germs.
Governments everywhere, however, continue to fight against these remedies, instead pushing people to get “vaccinated” with experimental gene therapy needles that are spreading vaccine-induced AIDS to the “fully vaccinated.”
“Our governments are not our governments anymore,” Fuellmich says. “Rather, they have been taken over by the other side through their main platform, the World Economic Forum, which has started to create their own global leaders through their ‘Young Global Leaders’ program as early as 1992.”
Some of the first graduates of the Young Global Leaders program are plandemic names that you will instantly recognize: billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates and corrupt German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In the end, the final goal of all this is global depopulation. The shots, the masks, the restrictions, all of that is about exterminating human life, not saving it like governments claim. (Related: Deaths are up 40 percent due to covid injections.)

5G is becoming the talk of the nation, however this talk could classify you as a domestic terrorist if you keep it up! Karen Kingston joins Stew with some startling new info about the extent of the Biden-Junta's information warfare.
Vaccinated “were the most likely to have worked outside the home.”
QUICK FACTS:
The number of workers taking time off because they were sick with Covid-19 or caring for someone else who was sick surged at the beginning of the year, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports.
About 6.6 million vaccinated workers were out sick at the beginning of the year, according to a Census survey, compared to only 2.1 million unvaccinated workers.
That the vaccinated are so much more likely to be so infected by coronavirus than the unvaccinated raises questions about the vaccine’s efficacy.
It also calls into question the CDC’s claim that the Covid-19 mRNA gene therapy drug “helps protect adults and children ages 5 years and older from getting sick or severely ill with COVID-19 and helps protect those around them.”
The surge in sick workers hit Maryland, New York, and Texas the hardest, when at the beginning of the year more than 1 in 20 workers in each state were unable to work because they were sick with or caring for someone with Covid, WSJ reports.

VACCINATED WORKERS MOST LIKELY TO BE OUT SICK WITH COVID:
Workers who received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine—the smallest group among those vaccinated—were the most likely to have worked outside the home, according to WSJ.
BACKGROUND:
About 87% of adults who did any work at the beginning of the year were vaccinated, WSJ notes.
Higher-income workers were more likely to have had three or more shots of a Covid vaccine.
South Africa boasts one of the lowest vaccination rates in the world—only about 33% of the region’s population being vaccinated with the gene therapy drug—but it also has one of the lowest covid infection rate, now standing at only 3,169 new cases.
That’s compared to Israel, which has 31,422 new cases, though the country has one of the highest vaccination rates, at 72.6%.

Canada’s princess Prime Minister, Justin “Black Face” Trudeau was shouted down in Canada’s House of Commons. The poor lamb was trying to explain how he has “followed the science” in regard to Canada’s ludicrous COVID-19 responses, which included locking up hockey nets so kids couldn’t play and an 8 p.m.-5 a.m. curfew in Quebec.
The House of Commons wasn’t interested in hearing Trudeau’s responses to Conservative leader Candice Bergen’s questions, including whether or not Trudeau would “follow the science” and end the COVID mandates. They shouted and heckled his response.
At one point Bergen states that numerous countries, such as Israel, Ireland, the UK, Spain, and Norway are dropping their COVID-related mandates, noting that some of those countries have lower vaccination rates than Canada. She then asks if Trudeau will also end the mandates quickly. Trudeau repeated his “We’ve been following the science” codswallop, but the heckling gets louder. At one point he stops speaking, sits down, and looks at the Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota, much like a child who is being picked on looks to a teacher for help. Rota calls for order so that Trudeau may continue to speak.
Bergen accuses Trudeau of being “divisive.” She then asks if Trudeau will “follow the science”, end the lockdowns, and let Canada be free. Trudeau removes his mask (he wears it when sitting but removes it to stand up and speak — is that “following the science?”).
In Trudeau’s last salvo, he tells the Speaker of the House of Commons that he is “extremely pleased to hear the Conservatives talk about following the science.” This draws the ire of the crowd. He continues to speak, but the heckling continues. He eventually sits down to a smattering of applause from his own people and shouting from the Conservatives’ side of the House.
Trudeau has been taking flak lately for not addressing the truckers and protesters who have descended upon Canada’s capital, Ottawa, demanding an end to Canada’s mandates and lockdowns. Trudeau conveniently came down with a case of the Bat-soup Flu and skedaddled out of town for a while as the first truckers arrived.
The Ottawa police have gone so far as to steal fuel from the truckers.
The Ottawa protesters have been peaceful, (actually peaceful, not CNN’s pro-BLM, pro-Antifa definition of peaceful).
Rumble — One of the biggest narrative shifts in COVID has occurred in recent days, namely the removal of mask mandates in deep blue states in quick succession. One America's Sam Valk has more.
While influenza can indeed be deadly in rare cases, these deaths are typically the result of secondary infections, not the flu virus itself
Research has highlighted the link between influenza and severe sepsis (blood poisoning). Symptoms of sepsis can mimic flu, and are often overlooked. Without prompt treatment, the condition can be deadly
Use of intravenous vitamin C, hydrocortisone and thiamine has been shown to reduce sepsis mortality nearly fivefold, from 40 to 8.5 percent
Optimizing your vitamin D level is a far more potent preventive strategy than getting a seasonal flu vaccine. People with significant vitamin D levels may reduce their risk of respiratory infections such as influenza by 50%
People with higher vitamin D levels may also benefit from additional vitamin D, reducing their risk of flu by 10%, which equals the effectiveness of the seasonal flu vaccine, including this year’s vaccine
This article was previously published February 1, 2018, and has been updated with new information.
As the COVID pandemic enters its second year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is ramping back up on its influenza recommendations, and stressing that it’s important to get a flu vaccine along with your COVID shots and boosters.1 The CDC is urging everyone aged 6 months and older to get a flu shot, with rare exceptions.2
During the height of the pandemic, influenza cases appeared to drop or nearly disappear, but with the 2021-2022 flu season, more flu cases are being reported. By the end of December 2021, the CDC reported that two children had already died of flu, and that flu hospitalizations were rising quickly.3 But how many deaths and hospitalizations are actually due to flu?
Many Flu ‘Deaths’ Are Actually From Secondary Infections
While influenza can indeed be deadly in rare cases, what most health experts fail to tell you is that these deaths are typically the result of secondary infections, not the flu virus itself. Importantly, research has highlighted the link between influenza and severe sepsis — a progressive disease process initiated by an aggressive, dysfunctional immune response to an infection in the bloodstream (which is why it's sometimes referred to as blood poisoning).
Symptoms of sepsis are often overlooked, even by health professionals, and without prompt treatment, the condition can be deadly. Not only that, sepsis also goes hand in hand with COVID-19 infection, particularly in patients in intensive care with COVID.4
Unfortunately, conventional treatments often fail, and most hospitals have yet to embrace the use of intravenous (IV) vitamin C, hydrocortisone and thiamine,5 which has been shown to reduce sepsis mortality from 40% to a mere 8.5%.6,7
How Influenza May Cause Lethal Sepsis
A decade and more ago, severe sepsis was generally associated with bacterial infections, but by 2013, viral infections like flu, and now COVID, had become a prominent cause of sepsis.8 To complicate matter even more, as noted in the video above, some sepsis symptoms also resemble influenza, which can lead to tragedy. The video offers guidelines on how to tell the difference between the two.
Sepsis, without doubt, requires immediate medical attention, whereas most people will successfully recover from the flu with a few days to a week of bedrest and fluids. Just how influenza can lead to sepsis is a somewhat complex affair, described as follows:9
“Regardless of the etiologic agent, the inflammatory response is highly interconnected with infection. In the initial response to an infection, severe sepsis is characterized by a pro-inflammatory state, while a progression to an anti-inflammatory state develops and favors secondary infections …
In the predominant pro-inflammatory state, Th1 cells activated by microorganisms increase transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interferon-γ (INF-γ), and interleukin-2 (IL-2).
[C]ytokines … released from endothelial cells and subsequently from macrophages can induce lymphocyte activation and infiltration at the sites of infection and will exert direct antiviral effects. Subsequently, with the shift toward an anti-inflammatory state, activated Th2 cells secrete interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10).
In certain situations, T cells can become anergic, failing to proliferate and produce cytokines. Type I IFN has a potent anti-influenza virus activity; it induces transcription of several interferon stimulated genes, which in turn restrict viral replication. However, influenza virus developed several mechanisms to evade IFN response …
Viral infections such as the influenza virus can also trigger deregulation of the innate immune system with excessive cytokines release and potential harmful consequences. An abnormal immune response to influenza can lead to endothelial damage … deregulation of coagulation, and the consequent alteration of microvascular permeability, tissue edema, and shock.”
Signs and Symptoms of Sepsis
Common signs and symptoms of sepsis to watch out for include:10
A high fever
Inability to keep fluids down
Rapid heartbeat; rapid, shallow breathing and/or shortness of breath
Lethargy and/or confusion
Slurred speech, often resembling intoxication
Should a few or all of these be present, seek immediate medical attention to rule out sepsis. Also inform the medical staff that you suspect sepsis, as time is of the essence when it comes to treatment. As noted in the featured video, hydration is of utmost importance, as much of the damage caused by sepsis begins with fluid loss.
Preventive Strategies to Reduce Your Chances of Infections
Your immune system is your first-line defense against all types of infections, be they bacterial or viral, so the most effective way to avoid coming down with flu is to bolster your immune function. While health officials claim getting an annual flu shot is the best way to ward off influenza, the medical literature actually suggests vitamin D optimization may be a far more effective strategy, and the evidence for this goes back at least a decade.
Dr. John Cannell, founder of the Vitamin D Council, was one of the first to introduce the idea that vitamin D deficiency may actually be a causative factor in influenza. His hypothesis11 was initially published in the journal Epidemiology and Infection in 2006.12 It was subsequently followed up with another study published in the Virology Journal in 2008.13
The following year, a large, nationally representative study14 confirmed that people with the lowest vitamin D levels indeed reported having significantly more colds or cases of the flu. Similar findings have been reported with vitamin D status and COVID, with several studies showing that persons with low vitamin D levels not only are more likely to be susceptible to the infection, but have a higher risk of hospitalization and death.15,16,17
With flu, a number of studies confirm the importance of your vitamin D status in fighting this viral infection. In 2017, for example, a scientific review18,19 concluded that vitamin D supplementation boosts immunity and cuts rates of both cold and flu.
In all, 25 randomized controlled trials were included in the review, involving nearly 11,000 individuals from more than a dozen countries. People with significant vitamin D deficiency (blood levels below 10 ng/mL), taking a vitamin D supplement reduced their risk of respiratory infections such as influenza by 50%.
People with higher vitamin D levels also benefited, although not as greatly. Overall, they reduced their risk by about 10%, which the researchers stated was about equal to the effect of flu vaccines. Coincidentally, 10% was the effectiveness rate of the 2017-2018 flu vaccine.20
The take-home message here is that vitamin D supplementation far exceeds the flu vaccine in terms of effectiveness, and the more deficient you are, the greater its protective effects when you supplement.
Aside from vitamin D, loading up on vitamins B1 and C may go a long way toward keeping you healthy through the flu season and beyond. Influenza has been successfully treated with high-dose vitamin C.21 Taking zinc lozenges at the first sign of a cold or flu can also be helpful.
Zinc boosts immune function and plays a vital role in activating your body’s T cells (white blood cells tasked with destroying infected cells). If you fall victim to frequent bacterial infections or colds, your body might be trying to tell you it needs more zinc.
Be Aware of This Lifesaving IV Protocol
If you or a loved one contracts sepsis, whether caused by influenza or some other infection, please remember that a protocol of IV vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine (vitamin B1) can be lifesaving.22 So, urge your doctor to use it. Chances are, they might not even be aware of it.
This sepsis treatment protocol was developed Dr. Paul Marik23,24 when he was a critical care doctor at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in East Virginia, and clinical use has proven it to be remarkably effective for the treatment of sepsis, reducing mortality nearly fivefold.
Marik’s retrospective before-after clinical study showed that giving patients IV vitamin C with hydrocortisone and vitamin B1 for two days reduced mortality from 40% to 8.5%. Of the 50 patients treated, only four died, and all of them died from their underlying disease, not sepsis. Importantly, the treatment has no side effects and is inexpensive, readily available and simple to administer, so you really have nothing to lose by trying it.
The only contraindication is if you are glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient (a genetic disorder).25 G6PD is an enzyme your red blood cells need to maintain membrane integrity.
High-dose IV vitamin C is a strong pro-oxidant, and giving a pro-oxidant to a G6PD-deficient individual can cause their red blood cells to rupture, which could have disastrous consequences. Fortunately, G6PC deficiency is relatively uncommon, and can be tested for.
People of Mediterranean and African decent are at greater risk of being G6PC deficient. Worldwide, G6PD deficiency is thought to affect 400 million individuals, and in the U.S., an estimated 1 in 10 African-American males have it.26
Flu Vaccines Don’t Usually Live Up to Their Hype
Sadly, flu deaths are inevitably used to incite fear, and the recommended remedy is annual flu vaccination, even when statistics show the vaccines don’t perform the way they’re hyped.
For example, in January 2015, U.S. government officials admitted that, in most years, flu shots are — at best — 50 to 60% effective at preventing lab confirmed type A or B influenza requiring medical care.27 And, as mentioned, the 2017-2018 flu vaccine had an effectiveness rating of just 10%, due to it being poorly matched, yet the call for flu vaccination remained.
Many also gloss over the fact that flu deaths also occur in those who have been vaccinated. Such was the case with this 8-year-old boy in Arkansas, featured in this CNN report.
This video may not be available in all countries.
Yet, despite year after year of dismal efficacy numbers, the CDC continues to push the flu vaccine. In December 2021, they said that, despite indications that the H3N2 protection for this season’s vaccine may not live up to expectations, they still recommend getting the shot, as flu could be more serious in the 2021-2022 season:28
"Flu vaccination has many benefits yet early data suggest the number of people who have been vaccinated so far this season is down, especially among certain higher risk groups such as pregnant people and children.
Lower vaccination rates and reduced population immunity resulting from historic low flu activity since March 2020 could lead to widespread flu, with more serious illnesses. With ongoing COVID-19 activity, hospitals could be further stressed this winter."
But, considering the many studies showing flu vaccines have a dismal success rate even when well-matched to circulating viral strains, the fact that vaccination continues to be touted as your first line of defense against influenza suggests this annual campaign is more about generating conformity for profit, opposed to actually improving and protecting public health.
Flu Vaccine Likely Raises Your Risk of Illness
The fact that flu vaccines offer negligible protection against flu is bad enough, but evidence suggests the vaccine may even make you more susceptible to the disease. For example, Canadian researchers found that annual flu vaccination appears to increase your risk of pandemic illness, and cause more serious bouts of illness.
Data collected from Canada and Hong Kong during 2009 to 2010 showed that people who received the seasonal flu vaccine in 2008 had twice the risk of getting the H1N1 “swine flu,” compared to those who had not received a flu shot.29
A well-publicized ferret study30 confirmed these results. Research31 published more than a decade ago, in 2011, also warned that the seasonal flu vaccine appears to weaken children's immune systems and increases their chances of getting sick from influenza viruses not included in the vaccine.
Some health experts claim flu vaccination will help you develop resistance against strains that are not included in the vaccine, but research has actually shown the complete opposite to be true.
When blood samples from healthy, unvaccinated children and children who had received an annual flu shot were compared, the unvaccinated group had naturally built up more antibodies across a wider variety of influenza strains compared to the vaccinated group.32 Flu vaccines are also associated with debilitating and potentially lifelong side effects such as Guillain–Barré syndrome and chronic shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA).33
But what about the claim that you might contract influenza from your flu shot? There are many anecdotal reports of people developing the worst bout of influenza they’ve ever had following a routine flu vaccination and, indeed, a Chinese study34 published in 2012 appears to support such claims, finding that children had a 4.4 higher chance of contracting a viral upper respiratory infection following seasonal flu vaccine administration.
Researchers have also highlighted the influence of bias in studies looking at influenza vaccine effectiveness. As noted in one 2010 study,35 ”Forgoing vaccination predicted death in those who had received vaccinations in the previous five years, but it predicted survival in patients who had never before received a vaccination. We conclude that bias is inherent in studies of influenza vaccination and death among elderly patients.”
Beware: Tamiflu Can Trigger Psychosis
Should you or your child come down with the flu and your doctor or pediatrician recommends Tamiflu,0 you should know this antiviral drug has been shown to shorten the duration of flu symptoms by less than 17 hours36,37 It also does not reduce viral transmission and does not lower your risk of complications from the flu, such as pneumonia.38,39 Scientist have also warned that the risks far outweigh the benefits.40
These risks include convulsions, brain infections, psychosis and other neuropsychiatric problems. Tamiflu made recent headlines after a 6-year-old girl started hallucinating and attempted to jump out a second story window.41 “I don’t think the 16 hours of symptom relief from the flu is worth the possible side effects that we went through,” the girl’s father told ABC7 News.42
Indeed, a number of studies have observed that Tamiflu may cause psychiatric symptoms. Research43 published in 2015 reported the case of a 22-year-old man who “complained of mood swings, suicidal feelings, auditory hallucinations, memory deterioration and insomnia” after taking the drug. Other studies44 have found more than half of all children taking Tamiflu suffer side effects from the drug.45
Dangerous Lies Told by the CDC
Prior to the global H1N1 scare, the U.S. government stockpiled $1.5 billion of this basically useless antiviral — money that could have been spent in far better ways than merely enriching Roche’s company pockets. As noted in an article about Tamiflu by The Atlantic, “The only people helped by the proven-to-be-ineffective drug are its manufacturers.”46
A 2013 Forbes article47 also spelled out a number of flaws in the science behind Tamiflu, and how benefits were overstated. Despite all of this overwhelming evidence, the CDC to this day continues to recommend both flu vaccines and antiviral drugs like Tamiflu.48,49 They even continue to claim antiviral drugs “may prevent serious flu complications” — though the evidence clearly shows Tamiflu does no such thing.
The take-home message here is to do your homework, and not blindly follow public health recommendations. Also avoid falling prey to unreasonable fears. All deaths are tragic, but people die from influenza with and without flu vaccines. People also die without certain drugs, and from drugs.
Remember, optimizing your vitamin D to a level of 60 to 80 ng/mL may be one of the most effective flu prevention strategies out there. Also familiarize yourself with the signs and symptoms of sepsis, and urge your doctor to administer Marik’s IV vitamin C protocol should you or a loved one be diagnosed with sepsis. It just might save your life.
People with natural COVID-19 immunity continue to be discriminated against and are still expected to get double- or triple-jabbed in order to comply with vaccine mandates — an unprecedented move in history
New data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that prior COVID-19 infection, i.e., natural immunity, is more protective than COVID-19 injections
The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a vaccine mandate at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS), which affects 10.4 million health care workers employed at 76,000 medical facilities, making no exceptions for those who have natural immunity to COVID-19 due to prior infection
One study found that the risk of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 decreased by 80.5% to 100% among people who had previously had COVID-19
In Switzerland, residents who have had COVID-19 in the past 12 months are considered to be equally as protected as those who’ve been injected
COVID-19 injection mandates raise glaring questions, with a key one revolving around natural immunity. Your immune system is designed to work in response to exposure to an infectious agent. Your adaptive immune system, specifically, generates antibodies that are used to fight pathogens that your body has previously encountered.1
If you’ve had COVID-19, the research is strong that you’re well protected against reinfection. New data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention even show that prior COVID-19 infection, i.e., natural immunity, is more protective than COVID-19 injections.2
However, people with natural immunity continue to be discriminated against and are still expected to get double- or triple-jabbed in order to comply with vaccine mandates — an unprecedented move in history.
‘Unprecedented’ Denial of Natural Immunity
The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a vaccine mandate at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS), which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The mandate affects 10.4 million health care workers employed at 76,000 medical facilities,3 making no exceptions for those who have natural immunity to COVID-19 due to prior infection.
Speaking with The Epoch Times, Dr. Scott Atlas, a former White House COVID-19 Task Force adviser, called the SCOTUS ruling “another denial of scientific fact,” adding:4
“Our continued denial of superior protection in recovered individuals, with or without vaccination, compared to vaccinated individuals who’ve never had the infection … the denial of that is simply unprecedented in modern history. Proven fact and decades of fundamental immunology are somehow denied. If we are a society where the leaders repeatedly deny the fact, I’m very concerned about the future of such a society.”
While upholding the vaccine mandate for medical facilities that accept Medicare or Medicaid payments, SCOTUS blocked a White House mandate that would have required private companies with 100 or more employees to ensure staff have gotten a COVID-19 injection or were tested regularly for COVID-19 — or face steep fines.
The Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was supposed to be in charge of enforcing the rule, which would have affected more than 80 million U.S. workers.5 Of their decision, the court noted:6
“Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly. Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers with more than 100 employees, certainly falls in the latter category.”
Despite the private business vaccine mandate being struck down, the White House urged states and businesses to voluntarily enact sweeping vaccine mandates,7 again ignoring the fact that many people are already naturally immune.
World No. 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic is a prime example — despite previously having COVID-19, and therefore having acquired natural immunity, he was barred from playing at the Australian Open because he didn’t get the COVID-19 injection.8
Natural COVID-19 Immunity Superior to Shot-Derived Immunity
Data from New York and California health officials, published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, show that people who had previously had COVID-19 were far better protected against COVID-19 infection with the Delta variant than people who had been jabbed. The report states:9
“By the week beginning October 3, compared with COVID-19 cases rates among unvaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, case rates among vaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis were 6.2-fold (California) and 4.5-fold (New York) lower; rates were substantially lower among both groups with previous COVID-19 diagnoses, including 29.0-fold (California) and 14.7-fold lower (New York) among unvaccinated persons with a previous diagnosis, and 32.5-fold (California) and 19.8-fold lower (New York) among vaccinated persons with a previous diagnosis of COVID-19.
During the same period, compared with hospitalization rates among unvaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalization rates in California followed a similar pattern. These results demonstrate that vaccination protects against COVID-19 and related hospitalization, and that surviving a previous infection protects against a reinfection and related hospitalization.
Importantly, infection-derived protection was higher after the Delta variant became predominant, a time when vaccine-induced immunity for many persons declined because of immune evasion and immunologic waning.”
In another study,10 researchers reviewed studies published in PubMed and found that the risk of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 decreased by 80.5% to 100% among people who had previously had COVID-19. Additional research cited in their review found:11
Among 9,119 people who had previously had COVID-19, only 0.7% became reinfected.
At the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, the incidence rate of COVID-19 among those who had not previously been infected was 4.3 per 100 people; the COVID-19 incidence rate among those who had previously been infected was zero per 100 people.
The frequency of hospitalization due to a repeated COVID-19 infection was five per14,840 people, or .03%, according to an Austrian study; the frequency of death due to a repeated infection was one per 14,840 people, or .01%.
Given these findings, the researchers concluded that previous infection status should be documented and recovered patients counseled on their risk for reinfection. They stated:12
“Given the evidence of immunity from previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, however, policy makers should consider recovery from previous SARS-CoV-2 infection equal to immunity from vaccination for purposes related to entry to public events, businesses, and the workplace, or travel requirements.”
It’s Rare to Get Reinfected by SARS-CoV-2
In a letter to the editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Roberto Bertollini of the Ministry of Public Health in Doha, Qatar, and colleagues estimated the efficacy of natural immunity against reinfection by comparing data in the national cohort.
They found that immunity acquired from previous infection was 92.3% effective against reinfection with the beta variant and 97.6% effective against reinfection with the alpha variant.13 Protection persisted even one year after the primary infection.
Researchers from Ireland14 also conducted a systematic review including 615,777 people who had recovered from COVID-19, with a maximum duration of follow-up of more than 10 months. “Reinfection was an uncommon event,” they noted, “… with no study reporting an increase in the risk of reinfection over time.” The absolute reinfection rate ranged from zero percent to 1.1%, while the median reinfection rate was just 0.27%.15,16,17
Another study revealed similarly reassuring results. It followed 43,044 SARS-CoV-2 antibody-positive people for up to 35 weeks, and only 0.7% were reinfected. When genome sequencing was applied to estimate population-level risk of reinfection, the risk was estimated at 0.1%.18
Again, there was no indication of waning immunity over seven months of follow-up, with the researchers concluding, “Reinfection is rare. Natural infection appears to elicit strong protection against reinfection with an efficacy >90% for at least seven months.”19
Another study from Israel also had researchers questioning “the need to vaccinate previously-infected individuals,” after their analysis showed similar risks of reinfection among those with vaccine-induced or natural immunity. Specifically, vaccination had an overall estimated efficacy of preventing reinfection of 92.8%, compared to 94.8% for natural immunity acquired via prior infection.20
Evidence from Washington University School of Medicine also shows long-lasting immunity to COVID-19 exists in those who’ve recovered from the natural infection.21 At both seven months and 11 months after infection, most of the participants had bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) that secreted antibodies specific for the spike protein encoded by SARS-CoV-2.
The BMPCs were found in amounts similar to those found in people who had been vaccinated against tetanus or diphtheria, which are considered to provide long-lasting immunity. “Overall, our data provide strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans robustly establishes the two arms of humoral immune memory: long-lived BMPCs and memory B cells,” the researchers noted.22
This is among the best available evidence of long-lasting immunity, because this immunological memory is a distinct part of the immune system that’s essential to long-term protection, beyond the initial immune response to the virus.23
Getting the Shot May Be Worse After Prior Infection
If you’ve had COVID-19, getting injected may pose an even greater risk, to the extent that Dr. Hooman Noorchashm, Ph.D., a cardiac surgeon and patient advocate, has repeatedly warned the FDA that “clear and present danger” exists for those who have had COVID-19 and subsequently get the injection.24
At issue are viral antigens that remain in your body after you are naturally infected. The immune response reactivated by the COVID-19 injection can trigger inflammation in tissues where the viral antigens are present. The inner lining of blood vessels, the lungs and the brain may be particularly at risk of such inflammation and damage.25 Writing in Lancet Infectious Diseases, researchers also explained:26
“Some people who have recovered from COVID-19 might not benefit from COVID-19 vaccination. In fact, one study found that previous COVID-19 was associated with increased adverse events following vaccination with the Comirnaty BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine (Pfizer–BioNTech). In addition, there are rare reports of serious adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination.”
As it stands, the U.S. CDC continues to push universal injections, despite past infection status, and natural immunity is not considered adequate to enter the growing number of venues requiring vaccine passports. This isn’t the case in Switzerland, where residents who have had COVID-19 in the past 12 months are considered to be equally as protected as those who’ve been injected.27
The end-goal of vaccine passports, though, isn’t to simply track one shot. Your entire identity, including your medical history, finances, sexual orientation and much more, could soon be stored in a mobile app that’s increasingly required to partake in society. While some might call this convenience, others would call it oppression.
You can fight back against vaccine mandates and their related vaccine passports by not supporting establishments that require proof of a shot or a negative test, and avoiding all digital identities and vaccine ID passports offered as a means of increasing “access” or “convenience.”2
