BOMBSHELL: Best Evidence Yet USAID May Have Helped Start COVID

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We’ve known for years that Anthony Fauci’s agency helped fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and that the COVID-19 likely came from a lab there. Thanks to the work of Daily Caller News Foundation Reporter Emily Kopp, we now know that USAID was in on the action too, in a way we never could’ve imagined. She joins Daily Caller Editor-in-Chief Dylan Housman on today’s Rebelcast to break it down.

HHS Scraps COVID Vaccine Schedule for Children and Pregnant Women: ‘It’s Common Sense, and It’s Good Science’

/17 Comments/in , /by

The Health and Human Services Department announced Tuesday that the COVID vaccine will be dropped from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommended vaccine schedule for healthy pregnant women and children.

By amending the vaccine schedule, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is combatting the residual COVID hysteria from former President Joe Biden’s administration. Kennedy made the highly anticipated announcement alongside Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, and Dr. Martin Makary, who serves as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule,” Kennedy said.

“Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data, to support the repeat booster strategy in children,” Kennedy said.

“That ends today,” Bhattacharya added. “It’s common sense, and it’s good science.”

Prior to the announcement, the CDC recommended the COVID vaccine to any person over 6 months old, particularly people over the age of 65, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and women planning to conceive.

Here’s Why the DOJ Is Reportedly Investigating Andrew Cuomo

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his testimony about COVID-era nursing home deaths, though the mayoral frontrunner is unaware of the probe, his spokesperson said.

“We have never been informed of any such matter, so why would someone leak it now?” spokesman Rich Azzopardi told news outlets. “The answer is obvious: This is lawfare and election interference plain and simple — something President Trump and his top Department of Justice officials say they are against.”

The criminal investigation into the Democrat began about a month ago, The New York Times reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The Republican-led panel House Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue criminal charges against Cuomo, a Democrat, for making “criminally false statements” during a June 11, 2024, interview with the House COVID subcommittee.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) charged that there was “overwhelming evidence” that Cuomo, 67, presided over a July 6, 2020, audit that undercounted the total number of deaths in New York senior care facilities during the pandemic by 46%.

In his testimony, the ex-governor was adamant that he had not drafted, reviewed, discussed or consulted people for “peer-review” on the nursing home report, which was published by the New York State Department of Health.

Comer previously referred Cuomo for prosecution last year, but his request was denied by former President Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland. […]

The report Cuomo is accused of lying to Congress about downplayed the consequences of his infamous March 25, 2020, directive forcing recovering COVID patients into senior care facilities without mandated testing to see if they could still infect others.

Study: Long COVID ‘Brain Fog’ Linked to Inflammation, Stress Markers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new study indicates the debilitating “brain fog” suffered by millions of long COVID patients is linked to changes in the brain, including inflammation and an impaired ability to rewire itself following COVID-19 infection.

United Press International reported this week that the small-scale study, conducted by researchers at Corewell Health in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Michigan State University, shows that altered levels of a pair of key brain chemicals could be the culprit.

The study marks the first time doctors have been able to provide scientific proof that validates the experiences of the approximately 12 million COVID “long-haulers” in the U.S. who have reported neurological symptoms.

Researchers looked at biomarkers in study participants and found that those complaining of brain fog had higher levels of an anti-inflammatory protein that is crucial to regulating a person’s immune system, UPI reported. They also showed lower serum levels of nerve growth factor, a protein vital to the brain’s plasticity.

The study examined 17 COVID-19 patients, including 10 who still experienced symptoms six months after contracting the virus. The most debilitating symptom is brain fog, described by Yale Medicine as “sluggish” thinking, forgetfulness, difficulty processing information and an inability to focus or concentrate on tasks they used to complete with ease.

Labor Department Secures Eye-Popping Sum to Return to American Taxpayers

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer announced on Monday that her department will return over $1 billion in unused COVID-era funding back to the taxpayer amid the Trump administration’s push for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to slash waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.

In a press release, the Labor Department said $1.4 billion of unspent COVID funding will be “returned to taxpayers through the U.S. Department of Treasury’s General Fund” and added that “action” is “being taken to recover the remaining $2.9 billion.”

“The roughly $4.3 billion was intended for states to use for temporary unemployment insurance during the pandemic,” the press release states. “Instead, several states continued spending millions of dollars despite no longer meeting necessary requirements, which was uncovered in a 2023 audit conducted by the department’s Office of Inspector General.”

The department explained in the press release that the funding originated from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in March 2020 and that the program was meant to provide expanded unemployment insurance for Americans who were not able to work during the pandemic.

The program was closed in 2021, the department said, but the 2023 audit “found four states were allowed to access the funding ‘despite not meeting program requirements,’ totaling over $100 million in spending.” (Read more from “Labor Department Secures Eye-Popping Sum to Return to American Taxpayers” HERE)

COVID Adviser Brags in Secret Recording About Drug-Fueled Sex Parties Mid-Pandemic: ‘Had to Be Sneaky’

/3 Comments/in , /by

New York City’s former COVID czar was caught on a hidden camera boasting about having drug-fueled sex parties mid-pandemic — and admitting New Yorkers would have been “pissed” if they had found out at the time.

Dr. Jay Varma — who served as senior health adviser to then-Mayor Bill de Blasio and was tasked with running the Big Apple’s pandemic response — made the confession in secretly recorded conversations with a so-called undercover operative from conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club.”

“I had to be kind of sneaky about it … because I was running the entire COVID response in the city,” Varma was filmed telling the unidentified woman on Aug. 1 in what appears to be a restaurant.

The edited clips of the hidden camera footage, which were all recorded between July 27 and Aug. 14 in New York, were released by Crowder on Thursday. The Post has not reviewed the full, unedited recordings.

The identity of the woman Varma was speaking to — or where he met up with her — wasn’t clear. The nature of their relationship also wasn’t clear. (Read more from “COVID Adviser Brags in Secret Recording About Drug-Fueled Sex Parties Mid-Pandemic: ‘Had to Be Sneaky’” HERE)

During COVID, Heartless Tim Walz Left His 87-Year-Old Seriously Ill Mother All Alone to Fend for Herself

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Now, Tim’s added an extremely weird new mess for his team to clean up: his cold, heartless treatment of his 87-year-old, sickly mother.

And the worst part is that Tim seems proud of it.

It turns out that during COVID, Tim went into isolation while leaving his elderly mother, who had just had heart surgery, to fend for herself. What a great guy, eh?

This coldhearted revelation follows unearthed stories reminding Americans of how Tampon Tim oversaw the largest COVID fraud scheme in the country. He set up a hotline for Americans to tattle on each other and even forced hospitalized COVID patients to return to their nursing home facilities. . .

The truth is, Tim didn’t just let down the people of Minnesota with his disastrous COVID policies—he also failed his own mother. If a son can treat his family that way, you can only imagine how easily he could mistreat and harm the American people. Tim isn’t just a radical extremist and an inept boob—he’s also cruel and thoughtless. Put it all together, and you’ve got a deadly and dangerous combination that must be stopped.

FBI Interrogates Co-Workers About Whistleblower’s Views On COVID Vax, Trump, And Second Amendment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The FBI Security Division questioned employees about a fellow agent’s views on COVID vaccines, Donald Trump, and a Second Amendment rally, according to whistleblower disclosures made to the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General on Saturday. This revelation raises more concerns that the FBI’s leadership has become hopelessly politicized and seeks to purge itself of agents with certain disfavored views.

Late Monday, The Federalist obtained a copy of the June 8, 2024, letter sent by Empower Oversight on behalf of its client, an unnamed whistleblower and now-retired FBI agent, to Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Enclosed with the letter were three separate interview forms used by the FBI Security Division in questioning co-workers about the whistleblower.

The preprinted document opened by stating that the Clearance Investigations Unit was conducting an administrative investigation regarding allegations that the agent had engaged in conduct that called into question his ability to maintain a top-secret security clearance. The introductory comments then informed the FBI employees that they had a duty to reply to the questions and that failure to reply fully could result in their own security clearances being revoked.

A series of questions followed, with co-workers quizzed on whether the agent under investigation had: “Vocalize[d] support for President Trump?” “Vocalized objection to COVID-19 vaccination?” “Vocalized intent to attend 1/6/2021?” The FBI Security Division also required co-workers to state whether they were aware the target of the investigation had attended the Richmond Lobby Day event, which is an annual Second Amendment rally in Virginia.

The Empower Oversight letter stressed the impropriety of these questions by quoting the Supreme Court’s pronouncement: “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.” (Read more from “FBI Interrogates Co-Workers About Whistleblower’s Views On COVID Vax, Trump, And Second Amendment” HERE)

COVID ‘Social Distancing’? ‘No Evidence’ Supporting 6-Foot Demands

/0 Comments/in , /by

That COVID “social distancing” demand – spewed out by government officials during the pandemic – marked out 6-foot intervals on store floors for people to wait in line. . .

Among the “real life consequences, according to a federal report, were those catastrophic lockdown of schools, since they couldn’t reopen “due to the pressure from teachers’ unions to follow this guideline.”

It was, according to a report at The Federalist, perpetrated by former National Institutes of Health chief Francis “Collins and crew, including the smug and self-righteous Dr. Anthony Fauci, the immunologist who ran the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for a dangerously long time, made a very good living segregating a society at an unprecedented level. The damage done from the scientists’ sign-off on a long and cruel isolation experiment will take a long time to fully measure.”

But the whole idea of a “distancing” was based on … no science.

That’s according to Collins himself, whose agency at the time threatened, in an article, “Six feet apart or six feet under…” (Read more from “COVID ‘Social Distancing’? ‘No Evidence’ Supporting 6-Foot Demands” HERE)

Study: Long COVID Could Be the Result of This Chemical Shift

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the world faces the possibility of another seasonal spike in cases of the coronavirus, medical experts are still pondering the cause of long COVID.

The mysterious ailment causes a range of symptoms long after the COVID-19 infection has cleared, such as fatigue, loss of sexual desire, loss of smell and taste, chest pain and chronic cough.

Scientists don’t yet know for certain what causes long COVID, the catchall term for about 200 widely varying symptoms.

But researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have suggested that reduced levels of serotonin — a neurotransmitter that affects mood, memory, sleep, digestion, blood clotting and sexual desire — might explain the lingering symptoms.

Between 10% and 30% of people are estimated to have experienced some form of long COVID after recovering from a coronavirus infection, a risk that has dropped somewhat since early in the pandemic. (Read more from “Study: Long COVID Could Be the Result of This Chemical Shift” HERE)
