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

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