An open letter to Christi Grimm, Inspector General of the HHS

Without a doubt, there is an enormous amount of corruption at the highest levels of the FDA, CDC, and NIH that needs to be investigated. In particular, they are hiding the safety signals.

"CDC continues to recommend that people wear masks in all indoor public transportation settings. CDC’s number one priority is protecting the public health of our nation. As we have said before, wearing masks is most beneficial in crowded or poorly ventilated locations, such as the transportation corridor,"

On Tuesday the Department of Justice said they would appeal the ruling if the CDC recommended government attorneys do so. Today, they did exactly that.

“The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagree with the district court’s decision and will appeal, subject to CDC’s conclusion that the order remains necessary for public health. The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health. That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve,” DOJ said. “If CDC concludes that a mandatory order remains necessary for the public’s health after that assessment, the Department of Justice will appeal the district court’s decision."

we are being controlled by idiots

Here's Zophie with the sequel to the original Mask Test. Just 2:40 in length w/ somewhat lighter, more entertaining commentary, it's a condensed version to share with those w/ shorter attention spans

It's like this administration is trying to get slaughtered in the midterms. This just looks like a temper tantrum at this point.

DOJ to appeal ruling striking down mask mandate after CDC gives OK

The Justice Department filed a notice Wednesday that it will appeal a Florida federal judge’s order striking down the long-running rule that forced plane and train passengers to wear masks.

The notice of appeal was filed in Tampa federal court at the behest of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ending 48 hours of uncertainty after federal officials stopped enforcing the rule late Monday and President Biden said “that’s up to them” Tuesday when asked if people should keep wearing masks on planes.

It was not immediately clear whether the DOJ had asked for a stay of US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s Monday ruling that the CDC overstepped its authority by imposing the mask rule.

If a stay is ordered, it would immediately force many airlines, airports, mass transit authorities and even Uber and Lyft to reimpose mandates days after making masks optional.

“To protect CDC’s public health authority beyond the ongoing assessment announced last week, CDC has asked DOJ to proceed with an appeal,” the CDC said in a Wednesday evening statement.

“It is CDC’s continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health,” the CDC statement continued. “CDC will continue to monitor public health conditions to determine whether such an order remains necessary. CDC believes this is a lawful order, well within CDC’s legal authority to protect public health.”

An appeal is not without risk for the administration. If an appeals court or even the Supreme Court upholds Mizelle’s ruling, it would create a precedent arguing against such a sweeping use of federal power in response to declared public health emergencies.

US cases of COVID-19 are down dramatically since hitting an all-time high in January as the more infectious but less deadly Omicron variant of the virus spread. Most US cities have eliminated indoor mask mandates for businesses and public buildings.

“CDC continues to recommend that people wear masks in all indoor public transportation settings,” the federal health agency continued in its statement.

CDC’s number one priority is protecting the public health of our nation. As we have said before, wearing masks is most beneficial in crowded or poorly ventilated locations, such as the transportation corridor. When people wear a well-fitting mask or respirator over their nose and mouth in indoor travel or public transportation settings, they protect themselves, and those around them, including those who are immunocompromised or not yet vaccine-eligible, and help keep travel and public transportation safer for everyone.”

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci attended a haughty and almost entirely unmasked DC white tie gala this month. At least 80 of 630 guests tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the Gridiron Club dinner.

Last week, the CDC announced the transportation mask mandate would be extended until May 3 after it was originally set to expire this past Monday. In its announcement, the health agency cited a slight uptick in COVID-19 cases and claimed it needed more time to examine the BA.2 Omicron subvariant.

Good grief! As one commentator pointed out, the ruling was a GIFT to the administration. It ended an extremely unpopular mandate, and Sleepy Joe can blame someone else.

But no, they have to appeal.

Got it Thanks, it's been a while. With most Viet Nam stuff I'm kind of one and done. The 'Flight of the Valkries' scene in Apocalypse is an exception. I apparently can't see that enough times.

But I still don't know what the line was.

That the various filtration masks allow particulates out is a feature, not a failure. They are designed to vent, so as not to disrupt the seal to your face, which would allow what you are trying to filter out to come in via the disrupted seal, rather than being captured in the filter media.

That’s why I knew they were completely full of shit when they started saying we should wear a mask to protect others.

Well, after about a month of no masks at work, there's been one guy who never stopped wearing one, another who would wear one every other day, and now both of them and a few others are back to them full time as of about yesterday. Thankfully that stuff isn't being enforced.

I've been invited to speak for an hour at a treatment center next month. Guy who called me to schedule it made sure to tell me "we still have a strict masking policy. Is that going to work for you?" He could tell I was disappointed, but as much as I hate it, I'll live. Imagine giving a talk to a room full of adults needing help and wearing a goddamn mask. So sick of this bullshit! Can't wait to get to Arizona!

My interview with Josh Yoder about American pilot Bob Snow's cardiac arrest after landing
Captain Snow was injured by the vaccine; he almost died minutes after landing. Yoder thinks we may need to disqualify 30% of pilots due to vaccine injury. There is no one to take their place.

Steve Kirsch

Quick summary

Vaccine injury cover-up is in the interest of all affected parties (except the flying public), so don’t expect a solution anytime soon. Flying will be Russian roulette for a while.

For passenger safety, every cockpit should have at least one unvaccinated pilot. When the truth gets out, expect a huge pilot shortage, and lots of class actions by pilots that lose their license to fly.

The same vaccine injuries are happening to our military. Did you notice that they never explained the cause of the crash of the Navy F-35 fighter jet? They know that if they can keep it out of the news, the problem just “goes away” (along with a $100M plane).

In the meanwhile, they are trying very hard to encourage vaccination before the safety information gets out. For example, in Rhode Island they tried to double the state income tax on the unvaccinated to encourage people to get vaccinated.

Introduction

Here’s my interview with Josh Yoder of US Freedom Flyers about American Airlines Captain Bob Snow. Snow had a cardiac arrest minutes after landing the plane. He nearly died.



It’s pretty clear that his cardiac arrest was due to the experimental COVID vaccine that American forced him to take to keep his job. I’ve talked directly to Captain Snow to confirm this. He’s now out of the hospital at home. That video will be posted soon.

In this video I interview Yoder about what happened.

Key points in the video include:

How Snow knows it was the vaccine and not just “bad luck”

American Airlines never called Snow in the hospital even though it was their fault he took the vaccine and almost died. You’d think he’d get a call from the CEO. Instead, the only thing they did was fly his family to the hospital to meet with him.

We need to be testing every vaccinated pilot with EKG, D-dimer, troponin, and cardiac MRIs to assess their health. This is for their health and for the safety of the flying public. The airlines and/or FAA should be requiring this. Myocarditis can be subclinical so pilots may not know they are injured.

The airlines are NOT doing the screenings required to assess pilot health and passenger safety. Presumably, this is because doing those screenings would: 1) reveal to the public how unsafe the vaccines are and increase vaccine hesitancy, and 2) disqualify too many pilots. Yoder estimates that 30% of the pilots may need to be disqualified due to heart conditions caused by the vaccine. Therefore, the most likely outcome is that the airlines will pretend this incident never happened and the CDC will claim without evidence that there is no link to the vaccine like they usually do. The press will give them a pass on this and not ask any hard questions.

When a plane goes down and people are killed, it's OK for the airlines because the insurance companies will pay and everyone will pretend it was just a freak accident that couldn’t have been avoided.

Summary

I expect that all the authorities will look the other way while these incidents continue to happen.

I doubt the toothpaste is going back into that tube regarding masking no matter how much these authoritarian assholes try.

I'm at the Philadelphia Airport right now. I'm seeing about 30% wearing masks even though it's technically still mandated by the city of Philadelphia. That's 30% too many, but it's just glorious to see after two years of this miserable insanity. Yeah, good luck trying to make this cat walk backwards. IT'S OVER.

Now, how about that double bourbon...

Yep, this is just stupid. They missed an opportunity to take a victory lap and help try and put Covid behind them (given it's still dragging them down in the polls), but instead have opted to appeal this ruling continuing to piss off the American people and very likely to be rebuffed by the appeals court. Gotta love it though.
