Virtually yearly, it appears a pandemic is puffed up. I might argue that is as a result of:
• They provide federal businesses (e.g., the CDC) a option to justify their necessity and get Congressional funding.
• The media thrives off of hooking the general public via 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 lots of the actual well being points dealing with our nation requires confronting the vested pursuits answerable for them and addressing the underlying causes of power sicknesses within the nation. In distinction, going to struggle 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 are going to steadily see a myriad of doubtful pandemic preventatives be pushed on us2 (e.g., the mass slaughter of livestock, the latest “emergency” vaccine, or ineffective and unsafe antivirals like Tamiflu). Nonetheless regardless of the pandemic failing to materialize or the preventatives failing to work, nobody remembers, and earlier than lengthy the cycle begins anew.
Biodefense
In a earlier article, I mentioned how the biodefense business usually cultivates bioweapons in labs to “shield” us from them. Earlier than COVID-19, this business had been beneath nice scrutiny as many inside the scientific group had been anxious its dangerous actions may result in a catastrophic lab leak.
Nonetheless, as soon as SARS-CoV-2 leaked, the complete scientific institution selected to double down on this analysis and label any insinuation lab leaks may happen “a conspiracy concept” 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 turned 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 risk persevering with to exist (moderately than it being eradicated). Moreover, many of those lab leaks are fairly consequential reminiscent of:
• In 1950, the U.S. Navy covertly sprayed “innocent” micro organism within the San Francisco Bay Space, inflicting infections and fatalities. These micro organism then turned endemic within the space.6
• The Cambridge Working Group estimated in 2014 that harmful lab leaks happen, on common, twice every week within the U.S. alone, and by 2018 this quantity had risen to a mean of 4 instances per week.7
• Quite a few deadly lab leaks involving smallpox and anthrax occurred within the U.S., U.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
• Vital proof suggests the present chicken flu pandemic originated from a USDA lab leak.
Notice: A extra detailed checklist 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 annually,15 steadily in horrific ways in which don’t have any scientific worth in anyway.
Vivisection (first utilized in 1707) describes the follow 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 docs being technicians who inflicted “obligatory therapies on sufferers” whatever the struggling it prompted and docs being compassionate healers who made an effort to attach with their sufferers and their values.
Whereas vivisection gained prominence within the 1800s, its advocates had been so merciless they prompted a widespread motion towards it to emerge and quite a few animal welfare legal guidelines to be handed.16,17 Nonetheless, vivisection persevered (with a lot of its medical advocates holding the identical contempt in the direction of the “anti-vivisectionists” as we see now directed at “anti-vaxxers”) and the opposition to it has turn out to be a forgotten chapter in our historical past.
This in flip touches upon one of the crucial vital factors these activists raised — lots of the merciless (and sometimes pointless) practices in trendy drugs arose from the mentality that gave rise to vivisection, so case could be made it’s in our personal curiosity to get rid of this malignant basis trendy drugs rests upon.
Harmful and Wasteful Spending
Following the COVID-19 lab leak, the White Coat Waste Undertaking (WCW) found an efficient option to cease vivisectionist practices by highlighting not solely the cruelty concerned but in addition how a lot cash was being wasted on that dangerous analysis. In consequence, WCW has repeatedly gotten many tales to go viral (e.g., Fauci spending hundreds of thousands on research the place beagles had been restrained in order that they may very well be eaten alive by sandflies18).
WCW’s work touches on a key level — the first cause a lot of this analysis happens is so that everybody can feed off the grants for it, not as a result of it affords any worth to society. For instance I not too long ago lined:
• A Colorado College establishing a bat lab to review harmful infectious ailments that has been extensively protested by the group (as they don’t need a Wuhan of their backdoor — notably since FOIA paperwork confirmed accidents occurred there one to a few instances a month).
Nonetheless, since that College has obtained 393 million {dollars} from the NIH since 201419 and a 6.7 million greenback NIH grant20 for the lab, Colorado’s authorities has shut down all makes an attempt to cease the lab.
• Hawaii (notably Maui) deploying billions of lab-modified mosquitoes (that go away disagreeable bites21) to scale back mosquito populations, regardless of there being no proof this strategy 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
Fortuitously, 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 probably this harmful analysis will enormously 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 moderately poor monitor file as:
• It’s steadily for the “flawed” pressure, which past it not working, impairs the immune response to the circulating pressure because the immune system is already locked onto the nonexistent pressure. As such, research have proven flu photographs make you extra prone to catch colds or a flu.
• The present (and sure biased) proof reveals you must 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 unintended effects from the vaccines (e.g., one massive examine discovered 37.8% of influenza vaccine recipients with an current coronary heart situation had an opposed response and 1.1% of recipients had a extreme response29), it is fairly questionable if America is making funding shopping for 150 million influenza vaccine doses annually.30
Sadly, one of the crucial 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 provide numerous shares that traders eagerly purchase up (spiking the worth).
As soon as this spike occurs, the unique homeowners 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: Lots of the deaths attributed to the flu are probably on account 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 constructive exams to justify draconian containment actions. But regardless of this abjectly failing (e.g., the present chicken flu has been occurring since 2020), the Biodefense business is just asking for extra (e.g., not too long ago Deborah Birx referred to as for us to check all cows for chicken flu).
The identical one who satisfied America to repeatedly check us for COVID and lockdown the nation was truly introduced on CNN to inform us to check all our cows for chicken flu. pic.twitter.com/HSuyLWADAs

Since poultry have fewer rights than people, to “cease the unfold” every time chicken flu is suspected to have entered a facility (e.g., on account of a constructive PCR check), a speedy cull shall be performed, and at this level, 159 million birds (77.5% of which had been egg-laying chickens) have already been culled to cease the present chicken flu.31 Many strongly disagree with this strategy as:
• The proof that it really works is sort of restricted (e.g., a 2024 systematic overview, discovered mass culling is as efficient as merely vaccinating flocks32).
• The present proof reveals that culling (of each contaminated flocks and people within the neighborhood) can present short-term reductions in chicken flu instances but it surely can not cease epidemics as wild birds frequently 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 (moderately than deciding on for the birds that survived and imparting genetic resistance to the flocks).34
• Animals that aren’t prone to chicken flu (e.g., free-range chickens not dwelling in tightly packed indoor buildings) are additionally being culled.
Notice: As I present right here, a really sturdy case could be made that nearly all of the infectious illness deaths vaccines “prevented” had been truly on account of individuals beforehand having atrocious dwelling situations.35
• Mass culling is sort of merciless (and reflective of how a lot in the identical approach vivisection is commonly favored, veterinary drugs will typically 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 chicken flu vaccines (which many People don’t need within the meat they eat).
Addressing Fowl Flu
Presently, the USDA has the authority to cull any herd the place chicken flu is suspected (doing so in an “emergency” method which waives the fundamental moral safeguards that exist to guard animal welfare36) after which partially compensate farmers for the prices of this.
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 biggest agricultural producers whose shares have since soared.38
In distinction, I imagine the next approaches needs to be severely thought-about.
1. Farmers, particularly these elevating their birds in more healthy situations, ought to have the choice to permit chicken flu to comb via 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 situations moderately than funneling that cash to the big firms that hold their birds in unhealthy situations which encourage the introduction and unfold of illness.
3. For over a century, it has been acknowledged that exposing poultry to ultraviolet gentle diminished their chance of dying and elevated their productiveness (whereas unnatural synthetic lights typically did the other).39 Likewise, it is well-known that UV gentle successfully inactivates varied pathogens, together with viruses, and in latest days, this strategy to chicken flu is ultimately 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’s important to reveal that lie and the false pillars that maintain it.
Daylight
Daylight is important for well being (e.g., avoiding the solar is extra lethal than common smoking and moderately than inflicting it, daylight prevents deadly cancers). Daylight additionally performs a pivotal function in stopping viral sicknesses. For instance:
• Sunbathing was one of the crucial efficient therapies for the “incurable” 1918 influenza42 and steadily 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
• Ample vitamin D was demonstrated to considerably scale back the severity of COVID-1944 and threat of dying from it.45
Notice: Whereas vitamin D can enhance viral sicknesses, it’s the simplest as a preventative. As such, it’s important to take care of sufficient 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 end up uncovered to daylight, as a small quantity enters the bloodstream, the advantages of sunbathing for infections impressed placing UV gentle straight into the physique. UVBI (mentioned intimately right here) produced such dramatic outcomes (e.g., for in any other case deadly infections and extreme autoimmune situations) that it quickly unfold via America’s hospitals till the AMA blacklisted UVBI and it turned forgotten.
Fortuitously, physicians continued to make use of it (notably outdoors of America) and a whole lot of research have since demonstrated its outstanding utility for a myriad of situations — together with “incurable” viral sicknesses. In flip, we routinely see UVBI produce speedy and dramatic enhancements for colds and flus (and likewise utilized it all through COVID-19).
Fevers
Fevers dramatically enhance the physique’s means to battle viral sicknesses. Nonetheless, since fevers are disagreeable, medical take care of viral sicknesses primarily revolves round taking a fever suppressing treatment.
Remarkably, this has been recognized for the reason that 1918 influenza, the place it was noticed that sufferers who took massive doses of aspirin (one of many earliest fever suppressing medicines) had been more likely to die. Likewise, NSAIDs like ibuprofen made sufferers 2.57 instances extra prone to develop extreme pneumonias,46 whereas Tylenol made hospitalized sufferers 3.24 instances extra prone to die from COVID.47 In flip, we have found:
• Appropriately heating the physique is a wonderful remedy for colds and flus.
• The discomfort one experiences from a fever is commonly because of the pressure the physique undergoes to warmth itself moderately than the warmth itself. As such, one of the best ways to alleviate these signs typically 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 important threshold has been reached.
One of many main issues with vaccines and lots of infectious sicknesses is that they impair the physique’s zeta potential and trigger fluid clumping to occur (e.g., vaccines steadily set off observable microstrokes).
Sometimes this clumping leads to one feeling congested, but when somebody already has a zeta potential impairment (which is widespread within the aged), the extra fluid clumping could be ample to hospitalize them. As such, we frequently discover enhancing the physiologic zeta potential to be immensely useful for viral sicknesses.
Disinfectants
Since viruses initially colonize the higher airway (e.g., ears, nostril, and throat), utilizing an acceptable disinfectant to get rid of them in these areas earlier than the sickness can unfold into the lungs is commonly one of the crucial efficient therapies that exists for acute viral sicknesses.
The truth is, all through COVID-19, this strategy was discovered to be the simplest remedy for the sickness (to the purpose it probably would have ended the pandemic if the general public had been knowledgeable). Likewise, for many years I’ve discovered this to be a particularly accessible and efficient remedy for colds and flus.
Conclusion
Whereas science is an unbelievable software that may remedy lots of the urgent points humanity faces, I imagine the prevailing monetary incentives far too steadily flip it right into a pressure that works towards our pursuits as virtually limitless cash exists to “remedy” the issues we face, however little or no accountability exists for individuals who fail to supply outcomes.
Fortuitously, the brand new political local weather, pushed by the Make America Wholesome Once more motion and the Trump administration’s concentrate on lowering wasteful authorities spending is shifting issues to prioritizing reasonably priced and efficient therapies over expensive outdated ones. That is an unbelievable alternative, and I sincerely hope we are able to make the perfect of it.
Writer’s Notice: That is an abridged model of an extended article that discusses the above factors in additional element and critiques the pure therapies we have discovered constantly treats viral sicknesses like colds and flus (together with how you can administer them).
