										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>His surname means &#8216;sickle&#8217;, and after the explosive findings of the latest grilling of Anthony Fauci by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, this meaning took on a whole new level! A sickle is a hand-held farming tool with a sharp, curved blade, used for harvesting grains and cutting grass-well, did Fauci and the NIH, W.H.O and Big Pharma wield this weapon to great effect?</p>
<div dir="auto">The man who called himself &#8216;the Science&#8217; during the height of the dreaded COVID pandemic has now proven himself to be the most disgraceful, evil man on planet Earth by invoking the 5th Amendment no less than 111 times before the Senate! Senators Bernie Moreno, Josh Hawley and company pulled no punches when they absolutely blasted Fauci for refusing to answer any of their questions. He was accused of some of the most heinous acts of human indecency when his email leaks got read out loud to the audience, from unthinkable experiments involving aborted phoetuses and unwarranted mask mandates to his sick obsession with being a celebrity and Julia Roberts hardly being able to contain herself when she met with Fauci during an online conversation where she called him a &#8216;hero&#8217;- elevating his status to that if a super human or some sort of messiah.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">Fauci pursued several awards during the Pandemic, whilst families were separated, lost loved ones, got arrested for not wearing a mask, etc. Some of these awards include the Dan David prize, the CDC Foundation Fries Prize, the National Academy of Medicine Award and the Social Courage award, all this whilst people lived in fear, got locked inside their homes, babies as young as 2 and 3 years old having to mask up and people receiving multiple booster jabs unnecessarily, and now having serious irreversible vaccine injuries and turbo cancers spreading throughout their bodies.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">This same man, Fauci, whom I refuse to call a &#8216;doctor&#8217;, prescribed Remdesivir to patients affected by COVID, which allegedly caused multiple deaths among young children and has understandably raised alarming questions around the agenda behind these mandated medicines. We don&#8217;t know if this is true, given the immensely shocking revelations of the Fauci email leaks, the now confirmed role of the NIH, CDC, World Health organization and mainstream media to silence, challenge and shoot down any person who dared to question the Covid narrative or where the virus actually originated from, one could be forgiven for never trusting these psychos ever again with Global health issues, especially when the origin of the virus had been kept secret for so long, by so many role players, at the cost of millions of human lives!</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">I am so happy that my wife and I refused the jabs, although we succumbed to the ridiculous mask mandates and Lockdown regulations pushed by the likes of Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and the likes of Ebrahim Patel, and Mr Phala Phala himself, Cyril Ramaphosa. The so-called conspiracy theorists were correct all along; the virus had been created in a lab, and Anthony Fauci was a key player in this unfathomable crime against humanity itself!</div>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 data-path-to-node="2"><em>Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies COVID-19 Documents on Final Day in Office</em></h2>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-30" data-path-to-node="3"><span class="citation-63 citation-end-63">In a monumental parting act before exiting her post, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has dropped a massive trove of declassified documents that directly target the official COVID-19 pandemic narrative.</span> <span class="citation-62 citation-end-62">Billed by Gabbard as a long-overdue victory for public transparency, the release targets the actions of former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, alleging deep collusion with the Intelligence Community (IC) to suppress lab-leak evidence and fund dangerous viral research.</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="4">The explosive release on June 18, 2026, has ignited a political firestorm, deeply dividing Washington and the global media. Below is the comprehensive breakdown of the key declassified elements and the escalating war over the truth.</p>
<h2 data-path-to-node="6">The Core Accusations: What the Declassified Files Allege</h2>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-31" data-path-to-node="7"><span class="citation-61 citation-end-61">Gabbard’s press statement and accompanying video address lay out a timeline of alleged government overreach, censorship, and systemic bias.</span> <span class="citation-60 citation-end-60">The nearly 400 pages of newly declassified records—encompassing internal IC emails, diplomatic cables, and scientific reports—focus on four massive claims:</span></p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="8">1. The Funding Path to the Wuhan Lab</h3>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-32" data-path-to-node="9"><span class="citation-59 citation-end-59">The documents trace millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars directed by Fauci’s agency (NIAID) through the EcoHealth Alliance to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).</span> <span class="citation-58 citation-end-58">The files point to a newly declassified May 2020 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory assessment from its &#8220;Z Program.&#8221;</span></p>
<blockquote data-path-to-node="10">
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-33" data-path-to-node="10,0"><b data-path-to-node="10,0" data-index-in-node="0">Key Finding:</b><span class="citation-57 citation-end-57"> The Lawrence Livermore report concluded that all necessary prerequisites for an accidental release of a laboratory-modified coronavirus—specifically engineered to recognize human cell receptors—were fully present at the WIV in late 2019.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<h3 data-path-to-node="11">2. A &#8220;Circular Reporting&#8221; Intelligence Loop</h3>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-34" data-path-to-node="12"><span class="citation-56 citation-end-56">Gabbard claims Fauci actively weaponised his authority to steer the intelligence community toward a natural-origin narrative.</span> The documents reveal that Fauci participated in expert IC meetings as early as February 2020 and received sensitive intelligence briefings. <span class="citation-55 citation-end-55">According to the release, Fauci hand-picked NIAID-funded scientists to consult with intelligence agencies, effectively creating a &#8220;circular loop&#8221; that presented his preferred narrative as an objective scientific consensus while dissenting voices were iced out.</span></p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="13">3. Contradicting Testimony Under Oath</h3>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-35" data-path-to-node="14">The Office of the DNI alleges that these internal communications directly contradict Dr. <span class="citation-54 citation-end-54">Fauci’s 2024 congressional testimony.</span> <span class="citation-53 citation-end-53">Under oath, Fauci denied knowledge of or active participation in discussions with intelligence officials regarding viral research.</span> The declassified files show Fauci remaining in lockstep contact with intelligence units throughout key phases of their origin reviews.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="15">4. <span class="citation-52 citation-end-52">Whistleblower Retaliation Exposed</span></h3>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-36" data-path-to-node="16">The release sheds light on severe toxic pushback within the intelligence apparatus. <span class="citation-51 citation-end-51">Whistleblower testimonies within the documents claim that analysts favouring the lab-leak hypothesis faced explicit professional intimidation.</span> In one stark account, a contractor alleges they were terminated just days after coming forward to the ODNI, while others detailed coordinated efforts to strip whistleblowers of their legally protected anonymity.</p>
<h2 data-path-to-node="18">The Gathering Storm: Reactions and Political Fallout</h2>
<p data-path-to-node="19">The &#8220;Fauci Files&#8221; have split the media and legislative landscape down the middle, creating two entirely different interpretations of the same document dump.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="20">The Supportive Front: &#8220;The Cover-Up Exposed&#8221;</h3>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-37" data-path-to-node="21">Conservative lawmakers and independent media outlets have seized on the release as a definitive &#8220;smoking gun&#8221; validating years of scepticism. Senator Rand Paul has rapidly moved to capitalise on the momentum, issuing a formal congressional subpoena for Fauci to appear at a high-stakes public hearing scheduled for July 2026. <span class="citation-50 citation-end-50">Proponents argue that regardless of prior administrative pardons, the public exposure of these internal documents provides necessary accountability for the lockdowns and censorship enforced during the pandemic.</span></p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="22">The Sceptical Front: &#8220;Declassification Theatre&#8221;</h3>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-38" data-path-to-node="23"><span class="citation-49">Conversely, mainstream outlets like CNN and legal analysts at </span><i data-path-to-node="23" data-index-in-node="62"><span class="citation-49">Lawfare</span></i><span class="citation-49 citation-end-49"> argue that Gabbard’s explosive headlines significantly overstate what the underlying documents actually prove.</span> Critics point out that while the files confirm Fauci&#8217;s predictable presence in high-level virus discussions—a normal occurrence for the country&#8217;s top infectious disease official—they do not provide definitive, direct proof that U.S.-funded research <i data-path-to-node="23" data-index-in-node="430">caused</i> SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, they note that the strict definition of &#8220;gain-of-function&#8221; remains highly debated, and the U.S. Intelligence Community itself has spent years split on the matter, with agencies assigning only &#8220;low to moderate confidence&#8221; to both the lab-leak and natural-spillover hypotheses.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements… <a href="https://t.co/ZMdliW4zyS">pic.twitter.com/ZMdliW4zyS</a></p>
<p>— DNI Tulsi Gabbard (@DNIGabbard) <a href="https://x.com/DNIGabbard/status/2067792184753938484?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 19, 2026</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<h2 data-path-to-node="25">The Global Context: 120+ Biolabs Under Scrutiny</h2>
<p id="p-rc_4fe54bf79e13a6f6-39" data-path-to-node="26">This breaking development follows a separate, highly controversial disclosure orchestrated by <a href="https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/article-900058" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gabbard earlier in June 2026</a>. <span class="citation-48 citation-end-48">In that release, the ODNI highlighted deep-rooted concerns regarding U.S. federal funding tied to over 120 biolabs across 30 separate nations, including Ukraine.</span> The overarching theme of Gabbard’s final weeks in office has centred on an aggressive push to dismantle what she describes as a global web of poorly monitored, dangerous biological research conducted out of view of the American taxpayer.</p>
<p data-path-to-node="27">With the primary source documents now public on the DNI website, the public is left to parse the complex reality between a coordinated bureaucratic cover-up and a deeply polarised political parting shot. One thing is certain: the definitive history of the COVID-19 pandemic is still actively being written.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Just as Donald Trump has welcomed the charge against him concerning election interference in Georgia as providing a platform to expose in court the truth of how the election in that state was manipulated, so Dr Shankara Chetty should welcome the charges brought against him by the Health Professions Council of SA (HPCSA) as providing an overdue opportunity to expose the deceit of the HPCSA’s protocols (<strong><em>Post, </em></strong>April 17–21).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The refrain of the HPCSA and its sibling, the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), has been to “follow the science” regarding COVID treatment and the so-called vaccine. But as irrefutable evidence now shows, they were complying with the moneyed interest of Big Pharma, not science.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In charging Dr Chetty with casting aspersions on medical practitioners for saying they “engineered “ protocols that caused the deaths of COVID patients, the HPCSA exposes its ignorance of Remdesvir, which was routinely prescribed in terms of HPCSA protocol. Tests done on this drug in 2019 found that it was so dangerous that it was immediately withdrawn because of the 16 critical effects it inflicted on the heart and lungs (see: Robert F Kennedy’s <em>The Defender, </em>May 17, 2023).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Suppression of the truth about Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin, which Dr Chetty endorsed as effective in treating the COVID virus, was a major theme of Big Pharma and those in the medical profession in thrall to the dictates of money at the expense of science.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dismissed as the equivalent of “bleach” by Big Pharma and its mass media allies, HCQ was endorsed by Canadian government scientists in 2005 for its efficacy in combating the Sars Coronavirus (see: <em>The Defender, </em>February 23, 2022).  Ivermectin has a 50-year safety record and is one of the most peer-reviewed medications for the inhibition of viruses. Uttar Pradesh state in India used ivermectin exclusively in the treatment of Covid with a 98,7% recovery rate (see: <em>World Net Daily, </em>September 15, 2021).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Significantly, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US has been compelled by a lawsuit to remove posts on its webpage condemning ivermectin as a “horse medication.” This comes after doctors argued that it was unlawful to impose on their authority and professional patient relationship (see: <em>Breitbart News, </em>March 25, 2024).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for the much-touted vaccine, in a court case in the Pretoria High Court a year ago, Pfizer admitted that the mRNA in its Covid vaccine “is unsafe and ineffective.” In terms of the health havoc the so-called COVID vaccines are causing, Pfizer’s concession is a monumental understatement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Between 2020 and 2023, mortality rates in the US increased by 22%. Miscarriages are up 15%. (see: <em>The Defender, </em>November 6, 2023). The <em>New Zealand Herald </em>of March 23, 2023, reported the biggest increase in deaths in 100 years. Australia, Italy, Germany, and Canada are all experiencing death rates in excess of pre-2020 rates. All those countries were heavily vaxxed. <em>BizNews </em>of January 16, 2023, noted a massive spike in sudden deaths of athletes – 673 deaths between January 2021 and January 2022.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The shocking truth about the Big Pharma vax has come to light from a redacted email of January 30, 2021 obtained via the Freedom of Information Act in the US. The email recorded a discussion between Dr Fauci and Rochelle Walensky, then Director of the Centre for Disease Control, in which they expressed awareness of the dangers of the mRNA vax while at the same time coercing people to submit to it (see: <em>World Net Daily, </em>June 21, 2023).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The case brought by the HPCSA against Dr Chetty is not about science. It’s about compliance with protocols that suppress science. Dr Chetty is to be commended for upholding science.</p>

<h4><strong>Dr WHO visits South Africa</strong> <em>                                                                       </em></h4>
<p>Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, visited mRNA vaccine technology transfer hubs in South Africa. He was hosted by Minister of Health Dr Joe Paahla, and Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Buti Manamela, showing support for a mRNA consortium <a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/21-06-2021-WHO-supporting-South-African-consortium-to-establish-first-COVID-mRNA-vaccine-technology-transfer-hub" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">backed by the WHO</a>.</p>

<h4><strong>kENUP seeks to bottom up the mRNA hub?</strong></h4>
<p>Meanwhile, the British Medical Journal revealed that the kENUP Foundation, a consultancy hired by <a href="https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-announce-collaboration-biovac" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">BioNTech</a>, the vaccine manufacturer associated with Pfizer, is working to <a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o304" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">destabilise the mRNA hub</a> by lobbying the South African government against the venture. kENUP claimed that WHO’s hub is unlikely to succeed, and it will infringe on <a href="https://medicinespatentpool.org/news-publications-post/mpp-position-statement-on-patents-with-regards-to-the-mrna-vaccine-technology-transfer-hub%20." rel="nofollow ugc noopener">vaccine patents</a> &#8211; an allegation denied by certain experts.</p>

<h4><strong>Why was South Africa chosen by the WHO?</strong></h4>
<p>Explaining why South Africa was chosen as a mRNA hub, WHO&#8217;s chief scientist, Dr Soumya Swaminathan said vaccine inequity was &#8220;it became very obvious that the countries that were suffering the most were those that were dependent entirely on imports, which did not have their own [resources], from diagnostic tests to gloves and oxygen and PPE all the way to vaccines.”</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We had criteria for how that hub would be selected. We had a technical committee that screened applications and looked at all of the criteria. And then we selected South Africa because of the strengths they brought in their proposals,&#8221; </em>said the WHO chief scientist, who faces <a href="https://trialsitenews.com/catalyst-indian-bar-association-serves-legal-notice-on-whos-chief-scientist-dr-soumya-swaminathan/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">legal action</a> by the Indian Bar Association for her stance on repurposed medicines, including Nobel prize associated, ivermectin.</p></blockquote>

<h4><strong>mRNA cold storage, with what electricity?</strong></h4>
<p>Dr Sylvie Briand, WHO&#8217;s director of Pandemic and Epidemic Diseases, said “there is the issue of the distribution of those vaccines across the country. And so it requires us to have a good cold chain,&#8221; said Briand, speaking specifically of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, which needs to be kept in exceptionally cold storage. “We really hope that this transfer of technology would be a game-changer,&#8221; Briand said at a press conference for UN journalists on Wednesday.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Given South Africa’s crippling <a href="https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2021-11-09-eskom-must-be-declared-a-national-disaster-to-ward-off-stage-6-power-cuts-and-foil-sabotage/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">electricity supply disaster</a>, fuelled by mismanagement and corruption, just how this ambitious venture will work, needs to be fully investigated and debated. Without a robust supply chain, these experimental products cannot be called safe nor effective.</strong></p></blockquote>

<h4><strong>Political response to big business moves</strong></h4>
<p>When South Africa was named as the site of the hub in June 2021, president Cyril Ramaphosa said:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the full extent of the vaccine gap between developed and developing economies, and how that gap can severely undermine global health security. This landmark initiative is a major advance in the international effort to build vaccine development and manufacturing capacity that will put Africa on a path to self-determination.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Ramaphosa is known to be supportive of South African<a href="https://trialsitenews.com/serious-questions-raised-about-aspen-destroying-30-million-j-and-j-vaccine-doses/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"> pharmaceutical company Aspen</a> that had a fill and finish deal with J and J.

<h4><strong>Using this pandemic as an “opportunity”</strong></h4>
<p>The presence of high profile figures attracts funding and grants, beneficial for both non-profit institutions and for profit corporates. In a stroke of obvious PR, Ghebreysus received the <a href="https://www.gov.za/speeches/minister-naledi-pandor-ubuntu-awards-2022-12-feb-2022-0000" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Ubuntu Humanitarian Award</a>, where he said:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“We hope that this year will be the end of the acute phase of the pandemic. Of course, we have to reach 70% vaccination coverage in each and every country. And we have to observe the public health measures. But I believe that the future in South Africa, our continent and the whole world will be better, if we can use this pandemic as an opportunity, because it’s not just a health issue. It exposed everything, the inequities, the inequalities and all the problems we have.”</em></p></blockquote>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">According to <strong>Mayo Clinic</strong>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">gene therapy involves altering the genes inside your body&#8217;s cells in an effort to treat or stop disease</span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Genes contain your DNA — the code that controls much of your body&#8217;s form and function, from making you grow taller to regulating your body systems. Genes that don&#8217;t work properly can cause disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gene therapy replaces a faulty gene or adds a new gene in an attempt to cure disease or improve your body&#8217;s ability to fight disease. Gene therapy holds promise for treating a wide range of diseases, such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, diabetes, haemophilia and AIDS.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Researchers are still studying how and when to use gene therapy. Currently, in the United States, gene therapy is available only as part of a clinical trial.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Story Behind mRNA</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/10/the-story-of-mrna-how-a-once-dismissed-idea-became-a-leading-technology-in-the-covid-vaccine-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">STAT news</a>. The technique to deliver mRNA through a vector or lipid into a cell was a billion dollar idea. After many rejections in the ‘90s, researchers at the University of Wisconsin managed to <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1690918/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">make it work in mice</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Katalin Kirikó</strong>, the Hungarian-born scientist behind this discovery, wanted to take it further, however, she knew of one problem. She knew that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">synthetic RNA</span> was notoriously vulnerable to the body’s natural defences, meaning it would likely be destroyed before reaching its target cells. Worse still, resulting in biological havoc, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">stirring up an immune response that could make the therapy a health risk for some patients</span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This begs the question. What have they used in conjunction with this to “make it work”?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What is mRNA?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In molecular biology, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule of RNA that corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene, and is read by a ribosome in the process of synthesizing a protein.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A Closer Look at mRNA Today:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What is a therapeutic:</strong> According to the Collins Dictionary. A therapeutic is a treatment, designed to treat an illness or to improve a person’s health (adjective), making them feel comfortable, relaxed. In most cases, a therapeutic (noun) is a drug. A branch of medicine concerned with the treatment of disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/nrd4278" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nature.com</a> in an article published in September 2014, claims mRNA has been the subject of basic and applied research for more than 5 decades. (sort of contradicts STAT news’ research on the topic in the 90s?) [correct me if I’m wrong].</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the past few decades, we’ve been fighting the GMO battle. Today, the very same industry is making synthetic mRNA for use inside our own bodies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pubmed describes this as “<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34133982/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synthetic modified messenger RNA for therapeutic applications</a>”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In another article mRNA is described as a therapeutic prospect gene therapy for Glioblastoma (GBM).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In an article, written in 2017, <a href="http://www.global-engage.com/life-science/synthetic-biology-mrna-gene-therapy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Next Big Thing In Synthetic Biology: Artificial MRNA And Gene Therapy</a> by Jane Williams, writes that this is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">broadly used in vaccinations</span> and describes the use of synthetic mRNA as innate and induces an interferon response, which can be poorly tolerated and lead to serious adverse events.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Hold on&#8230; So they are using synthetic mRNA in our bodies, even though Katalin Kirikó knew it would be harmful? </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Why does big pharma insist on playing God?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Full Excerpt is Below;</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Nevertheless, artificial mRNA synthesised in vitro and delivered exogenously suffers many limitations that hamper its potential. Firstly, even chemically modified exogenous RNA remains highly immunogenic due to its recognition by the Toll-Like Receptors on the external side of the endosomes and the cell membrane. Such innate immune activation induces an interferon response, which can be poorly tolerated and lead to serious adverse events.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Leaving this just here for you to think about.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>These several sources in my view prove this as gene therapy and that the vaccines are exactly what this is.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the past few months, <strong>Project Veritas</strong> has done an astounding job, exposing COVID-19 vaccines to the world. In what is now 4-parts and counting, Project Veritas released their fourth video this morning exposing Pfizer.</p>
<p>Whistleblower Nicholas Karl is an experienced biochemist who admits that those who had COVID have stronger immunity than those who received the Pfizer vaccine.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Anti-bodies are probably better than the vaccination.&#8221;</em> explains Karl</p></blockquote>
<p>In the same video, two other Pfizer scientists echoed the same sentiment.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/federal-govt-whistleblower-goes-public-with-secret-recordings-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">part 1 of an earlier video</a>, ER Doctor Maria Gonzales said, <em>&#8220;The government doesn&#8217;t want to show that the vaccine is full of sh*t.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In part four, two other whistleblowers at Pfizer uttered the same sentiment. Watch part 4 of the Pfizer expose below.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A collection of videos put together by <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LifeSiteNews</a> is available to everyone, with information from renowned experts that explain <a href="https://rumble.com/c/WhatYouShouldKnowBeforeGettingTheCOVIDVaccine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">what YOU NEED to Know before considering the coronavirus vaccine</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This collection will serve as a single place of reference from expert information and testimony about many dangers associated with the coronavirus shot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Each video selected covers the science behind the vaccine, the known and unknown dangers, and the concerns associated with the use of cells from aborted babies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a rushed effort to market the coronavirus shot, they skipped essential testing. The mRNA technology being used in many coronavirus shots has never been used in vaccines in the past and has never been studied in this use.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the lack of knowledge. They skipped many of the standard testing procedures.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With this in mind, one should consider the need for the vaccine. According to <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/rush-limbaugh-coronavirus-who-cares-if-its-10-times-more-lethal-flu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Media Matters</a>, the virus is “10” times more lethal, yet the author asks an important question. “More lethal than what?” “What does lethal mean?” he continues&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Ten times more lethal? Lethal than what? What does lethal mean? Does lethal kill you? Does lethal infect you? Does lethal give you a temperature of 102 versus 100? What does it do to you? It’s a meaningless comparative. Ten times more lethal? The only thing worth knowing in this story is that Anthony Fauci says the fatality rate to coronavirus is much less than what they believed.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Yet, the survival rate is <a href="https://www.winknews.com/2020/09/23/cdc-shows-covid-19-has-high-survival-rate-doctor-still-wants-to-see-precautions-taken/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anything from 95% to 99.997%</a> and alternative treatments are available. One should ask.<em> &#8220;Why are alternative treatments being withheld while they have proven it to work?&#8221;</em>. As in the case with Ivermectin.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yet, according to the CDC, their claims on COVID-19 are vague. While they give all the symptoms of the flu, they say very little about COVID-19. They only mention the following, <i>“other signs and symptoms of COVID-19, different from flu, may include change in or loss of taste or smell.” </i></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are other issues related to a “Loss of Smell.” &#8211; According to VKOOL, <a href="https://vkool.com/causes-of-loss-of-smell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">they mention 11 causes</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While listing COVID-19, at least 11 other causes of a “Loss of Taste” are included. See the list at <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/how-to-get-your-taste-buds-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Health Line</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, before you consider taking a vaccine that has never been fully tested and FDA approved, we suggest you watch the <a href="https://rumble.com/c/WhatYouShouldKnowBeforeGettingTheCOVIDVaccine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">following videos</a>.</p>
