Virtually yearly, it appears a pandemic is puffed up. I’d 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 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 “stop” pandemics.
• Tackling lots of the actual well being points dealing with our nation requires confronting the vested pursuits accountable for them and addressing the underlying causes of continual diseases within the nation. In distinction, going to battle in opposition to 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 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 previous article, I mentioned how the biodefense business commonly cultivates bioweapons in labs to “defend” us from them. Earlier than COVID-19, this business had been underneath nice scrutiny as many inside the scientific neighborhood had been fearful its dangerous actions might result in a catastrophic lab leak.
Nonetheless, as soon as SARS-CoV-2 leaked, all the scientific institution selected to double down on this analysis and label any insinuation lab leaks might 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 purpose of responding to any “unintended launch from a laboratory,”4 a few of which was then used to fund gain-of-function analysis carried out 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 (quite than it being eradicated). Moreover, many of those lab leaks are fairly consequential corresponding 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 median 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) really rising from chimpanzee analysis actions.13
• Quite a few disastrous veterinary pandemics having emerged from leaks.14
• Vital proof suggests the current bird flu pandemic originated from a USDA lab leak.
Notice: A extra detailed listing of consequential lab leaks may be discovered here.
Vivisection
One of many main sources of maximum 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 any respect.
Vivisection (first utilized in 1707) describes the follow of reducing open animals with a central nervous system and has been integral to biomedical science. Since this was fairly merciless, divided opinions emerged.
One college believed medical science have to be goal, rational, and dispassionate so it was unethical to be squeamish or sentimental about hurting aware animals if that “superior medical science,” whereas the opposite believed there was no moral justification for information gained from vivisection — highlighting the divide in drugs between docs being technicians who inflicted “essential therapies on sufferers” whatever the struggling it brought about 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 brought about a widespread motion in opposition to 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 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 essential factors these activists raised — lots of the merciless (and infrequently pointless) practices in trendy drugs arose from the mentality that gave rise to vivisection, so a superb case may 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 Venture (WCW) found an efficient option 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 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 purpose a lot of this analysis happens is so that everybody can feed off the grants for it, not as a result of it gives any worth to society. For instance I lately lined:
• A Colorado University constructing a bat lab to review harmful infectious illnesses that has been extensively protested by the neighborhood (as they don’t need a Wuhan of their backdoor — significantly since FOIA paperwork confirmed accidents occurred there one to 3 occasions a month).
Nonetheless, since that College has acquired 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 (significantly Maui) deploying billions of lab-modified mosquitoes (that go away 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) in opposition to 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 seemingly this harmful analysis will tremendously lower (significantly for the reason that NIH simply stopped sponsoring Universities from having the ability to pocket a lot of the funding for themselves25).
Pumping and Dumping Vaccines
The annual flu vaccines have a quite poor monitor report as:
• It’s steadily for the “improper” 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, studies have shown flu shots make you more likely to catch colds or a flu.
• The prevailing (and sure biased) proof exhibits it’s a must to vaccinate round 100 individuals to forestall one minor case of influenza,26 whereas the vaccine doesn’t stop influenza transmission,27 and doesn’t have an effect on influenza hospitalizations or deaths.28
• At greatest, it has prevented influenza charges from growing alongside a rising inhabitants:
Given this poor efficacy, the actual danger of uncomfortable side effects from the vaccines (e.g., one massive examine discovered 37.8% of influenza vaccine recipients with an current coronary heart situation had an adversarial response and 1.1% of recipients had a extreme response29), it is fairly questionable if America is making a superb funding shopping for 150 million influenza vaccine doses annually.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 “treatment” (or vaccine) for the illness and supply a lot of shares that buyers 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 sometimes crashes (because the product doesn’t work).
Notice: Lots of the deaths attributed to the flu are seemingly as a consequence of different causes, and as I present here regardless of flu having been the primary focus of the CDC for many years, nobody really 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 assessments to justify draconian containment actions. But regardless of this abjectly failing (e.g., the present fowl flu has been occurring since 2020), the Biodefense business is solely asking for extra (e.g., lately Deborah Birx referred to as for us to check all cows for fowl flu).
The identical one that satisfied America to repeatedly check us for COVID and lockdown the nation was really introduced on CNN to inform us to check all our cows for fowl flu. pic.twitter.com/HSuyLWADAs
— A Midwestern Physician (@MidwesternDoc) March 4, 2025
Since poultry have fewer rights than people, to “cease the unfold” every time fowl flu is suspected to have entered a facility (e.g., as a consequence of a constructive PCR check), a fast cull shall be carried out, and at this level, 159 million birds (77.5% of which had been egg-laying chickens) have already been culled to cease the present fowl flu.31 Many strongly disagree with this method as:
• The proof that it really works is sort of restricted (e.g., a 2024 systematic evaluation, discovered mass culling is as efficient as merely vaccinating flocks32).
• The prevailing proof exhibits that culling (of each contaminated flocks and people within the neighborhood) can present short-term reductions in fowl flu instances however it can’t 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 (quite than choosing for the birds that survived and imparting genetic resistance to the flocks).34
• Animals that aren’t liable to fowl flu (e.g., free-range chickens not dwelling in tightly packed indoor buildings) are additionally being culled.
Notice: As I present here, a really robust case may be made that just about all of the infectious illness deaths vaccines “prevented” had been really as a consequence of individuals beforehand having atrocious dwelling circumstances.35
• Mass culling is sort of merciless (and reflective of how a lot in the identical approach vivisection is commonly favored, veterinary drugs will usually default to easily euthanizing animals).
Notice: The government has also given Moderna virtually a billion {dollars} (176 million final yr and 590 million early this yr) to develop mRNA fowl 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 fowl 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 present, 1.46 billion {dollars} have been spent on culling compensation.37 This USDA cash (which has pretty few strings hooked up) 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 of.
1. Farmers, particularly these elevating their birds in more healthy circumstances, ought to have the choice to permit fowl flu to brush 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 quite than funneling that cash to the big companies that preserve 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 lowered their chance of dying and elevated their productiveness (whereas unnatural synthetic lights usually did the alternative).39 Likewise, it is well-known that UV mild successfully inactivates numerous pathogens, together with viruses, and in current days, this method to fowl flu is finally starting to be explored.40
Notice: Equally, straightforward 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 important to show that lie and the false pillars that maintain it.
Daylight
Daylight is crucial for well being (e.g., avoiding the solar is extra lethal than common smoking and quite than inflicting it, sunlight prevents lethal cancers). Daylight additionally performs a pivotal position in stopping viral diseases. For instance:
• Sunbathing was one of the vital efficient therapies for the “incurable” 1918 influenza42 and steadily improves colds and the flu.
• Dozens of research over the a long time have proven that vitamin D is simpler than flu pictures at stopping influenza.43
• Sufficient vitamin D was demonstrated to considerably scale back the severity of COVID-1944 and danger of dying from it.45
Notice: Whereas vitamin D can enhance viral diseases, it’s the simplest as a preventative. As such, it’s crucial to take care of satisfactory vitamin D ranges (60 to 80 ng/mL) through the flu season (which happens in periods of lowered daylight). Moreover, whereas supplemental vitamin D is useful, the best advantages happen with vitamin D obtained from daylight.
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UVBI)
When you’re 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 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.
Fortuitously, physicians continued to make use of it (significantly outdoors of America) and lots of of research have since demonstrated its outstanding utility for a myriad of circumstances — together with “incurable” viral diseases. In flip, we routinely see UVBI produce fast and dramatic enhancements for colds and flus (and likewise utilized it all through COVID-19).
Fevers
Fevers dramatically enhance the physique’s capacity to struggle viral diseases. Nonetheless, since fevers are disagreeable, medical look after viral diseases 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 occasions extra prone to develop extreme pneumonias,46 whereas Tylenol made hospitalized sufferers 3.24 occasions extra prone 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 commonly because of the pressure the physique undergoes to warmth itself quite 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 turning into microclots or lymphatic drainage from the lungs turning into congested) — a lot of which happens after a crucial threshold has been reached.
One of many main issues with vaccines and plenty of infectious diseases is that they impair the body’s zeta potential and trigger fluid clumping to occur (e.g., vaccines frequently trigger 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 may be enough to hospitalize them. As such, we frequently discover improving 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), using an appropriate disinfectant to get rid of them in these areas earlier than the sickness can unfold into the lungs is commonly one of the vital efficient therapies that exists for acute viral diseases.
In actual fact, all through COVID-19, this method was found to be the most effective treatment for the illness (to the purpose it seemingly 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 device that may remedy lots of the urgent points humanity faces, I imagine the prevailing monetary incentives far too steadily flip it right into a power that works in opposition to our pursuits as virtually limitless cash exists to “remedy” the issues we face, however little or no accountability exists for many 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 give attention to decreasing wasteful authorities spending is shifting issues to prioritizing inexpensive and efficient therapies over expensive outdated ones. That is an unbelievable alternative, and I sincerely hope we will make the perfect of it.
Writer’s Notice: That is an abridged model of a longer article that discusses the above factors in additional element and opinions the pure therapies we have discovered constantly treats viral diseases like colds and flus (together with the way to administer them).
