On Jan. 21, Moderna, a biotech company that has never developed a successful vaccine announced they were awarded a grant from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, which was founded by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, and that they are working on a COVID-19 vaccine. Recently, they announced they now have a COVID-19 vaccine that is reportedly ready for human trials. It strikes me as odd that a relative newcomer to the industry has beaten out every one of the current vaccine manufacturers with decades of experience in being the first to develop a vaccine ready for human trials. I should mention that Moderna works closely with the NIH, of which Dr. Fauci is the director.
I find many other oddities amidst this COVID pandemic. In Pennsylvania, the health secretary removed her 95-year-old mother from her personal-care home immediately after issuing guidance that called for COVID-19 positive patients to be readmitted to nursing homes where every resident is considered high-risk. Gov. Cuomo issued similar directives in New York but he explained, “We can’t save every life.” Maybe not, governor, but you don’t have to be that stupid either.
Dr. Ivette Lozano, a Dallas, Texas, general practitioner, claimed hydroxychloroquine was effective in 100% of her patients, within 24 to 48 hours, at a cost of $25 to $30. Shortly after the video of her speech at Dealey Plaza went viral, the Texas Pharmacy Board ordered pharmacists not to fill hydroxychloroquine prescriptions without a diagnosis. They later reversed that decision after Dr. Lozano complained to state legislators, but wasn’t that a strange thing for Texas bureaucrats to do?
Out of the clear blue, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer has ordered that county’s draconian stay-at-home order extended until August. What does she know the rest of the country doesn’t?
For me, it was a head-scratcher when any treatment that wasn’t COVID related, such as cancer surgeries and things equally serious, were to be delayed while thousands of health care workers were being laid off around the country.
All over the country, we have been wildly inflating COVID-19 deaths by attributing any deaths as COVID-19 deaths. I’m sure most have seen the memes and heard the jokes about the guy who’s parachute failed being counted as a COVID-19 death. I’m glad Colorado reversed that course, but I can’t help wondering if the same genius who ordered COVID-positive patients back into nursing homes is the person who dreamed up that directive.
I can possibly explain one of these — the proven effective hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin combination being panned by Dr. Fauci and that condemnation subsequently being parroted by every mainstream news organization. Perhaps it just seems that Dr. Fauci was deliberately attempting to undermine a highly effective treatment for COVID-19, so there won’t be any competition with the vaccine currently under development by the company he works closely with as director of NIH. After all, who needs a vaccine when there’s an effective treatment? He’s done something like this before.
In a video produced by Children’s Health Defense, Dr. Judy Mikovits tells the story of how she and Dr. Frank Ruscetti had confirmed Dr. Luc Montagnier’s discovery that HIV was the virus that causes AIDS, when Dr. Fauci ordered her to turn over all of Dr. Ruscetti’s notes while he was out of town. She refused because she says it’s unethical for someone to hand over another researcher’s notes. Two weeks later when Dr. Ruscetti returned, he turned over his notes and journals. According to Mikovits, Dr. Fauci withheld publishing Mikovits and Ruscetti’s work so that Dr. Gallo could replicate and publish their findings first. You can do a search on HIV and see that Dr. Gallo gets the credit and you can look up “patents HIV” and see Dr. Fauci’s name as the inventor of several patents pertaining to HIV. That’s especially weird.
Could the vaunted and esteemed Dr. Fauci be the commonality that explains the weird occurrences of this pandemic? We can’t know for certain at this point what motivates Dr. Fauci’s strange behavior, but from deliberately undermining effective treatments to ruining careers of dedicated scientists, society wouldn’t likely approve of his motives. The really weird thing is the fact that we are still listening to him.
