I’m as pro-police as they come and have friends and family serving in various police forces in PA but these bastards are NOT police. These are soldiers of a fascist state who are FINALLY starting to get what’s coming for them.

It warms my heart to see these thugs fleeing like that!

Beautiful.



And you know the left is simply appalled at this treatment of the police, their covid stormtroopers. Appalled!

Last year the police were the villains, and the medical care workers were the heroes. Now the medical care workers are being villainized while police are the tyrannical left's heroes. Go figure. Hey, I'm just trying to keep up over here.

Australia update: Melbourne, Victoria.

Last 24 hours in Victoria, 1,763 test positive and sadly, 4 deaths.

This despite the state's emergency lockdowns of the CBD, snap lockdowns of regions, "get vaccinated', construction shutdown for 2 weeks, stats for single and double dose ... here we are. Yes, Delta is highly transmissible. Deal with it and move on. Health advice being provided to the Victoria state Premier is just not sitting right with many.

6 States and 2 Territories.
Only one State - NSW - didn't follow the rest with lockdowns etc ... and that State's economy is doing well enough.

Politically, the Labor government in Victoria is probably done at next year's elections.

The Liberals in NSW will do well. The State Premier stepped down last week, as did the Deputy Premier. The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigating alleged contracts and favors. Clears the deck for a new team and voter confidence in NSW.

Political - the pandemic has unleashed forces that favour center-left, progressive parties.
Top men and women and a bleak Christmas.

Democrats Slip Plans For $700,000 Vaccine Compliance Fines Under U.S. Code Section 666 Into Budget Bill

https://nationalfile.com/democ...66-into-budget-bill/

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has quietly slipped a provision to amend U.S. Code § 666 to levy $700,000 fines on companies that do not enforce highly controversial vaccine mandates into Democrats $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” budget bill, after Democrat president Joe Biden called for persecution of businesses with over 100 employees that do not force workers to take the vaccine.
The provision would allow the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to fine companies $70,000 for not forcing employees to take the COVID vaccine, and escalate the fine to a staggering $700,000 for “willful” or “repeated” refusals to comply with the regime’s demands.

Located on page 168 of the 2,465 page bill is the new language that would allow the fines to be enforced under U.S. Code Section 666:

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT OF 1970.—Section 17 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 666) is amended— (1) in subsection (a) — (A) by striking ‘‘$70,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$700,000’’; and (B) by striking ‘‘$5,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$50,000’’; (2) in subsection (b), by striking ‘‘$7,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$70,000’’; and (3) in subsection (d), by striking ‘‘$7,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$70,000’’

“The crippling change described on page 168 of the Democrats’ bill isn’t a typo or a clerical error,” Forbes reported. “It was inserted by design and, likely, with the hope that no one would notice before Democrats ram the bill through Congress.”

A whistleblower revealed this week that the Biden regime is ordering Border Patrol agents to be fired by November if they do not take the vaccine, stating in a letter that “We have learned that the Department of Homeland Security has threatened to fire Border Patrol officials who refuse to comply with President Biden’s vaccine mandate, noting that “failure to support these federal law-enforcement officials will only make the Biden border crisis work and make our country less secure.”

Well, this is pretty much horrifying.
On top of it, patients can't even use their own Ivermectin.


Canadian Doctor Says ‘Something Malicious is Going On’ After He’s Punished For Treating COVID Patients with Ivermectin


A Canadian emergency room physician has been banned from practicing medicine in Alberta after he defied the province’s COVID treatment protocols by prescribing Ivermectin to three patients.

In a powerful speech last week, Dr. Daniel Nagase vented about the shoddy way COVID patients were being treated in a rural hospital in Alberta, and concluded that “something malicious is going on.”

Nagase spoke on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery during an event commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials. The event was hosted by a nonpartisan local group called “Common Ground.”

Nagase told American Greatness that he has been a doctor for over 15 years, and has been an emergency doctor for 10 years. Although he lives in Vancouver, he has been working as an emergency room doctor in rural underserviced communities throughout Alberta since 2015.

In his speech Friday, the doctor shared what happened when he tried to treat three patients in a small rural hospital with Ivermectin during the weekend of September 11. He blasted doctors and surgeons “who are standing in the way of life-saving medicine.”

Nagase said that he gave his elderly patients one dose of Ivermectin, along with antibiotics, vitamins, and inhalers—which set two out of the three on a quick road to recovery. But when health authorities caught wind of what he was doing, all the medications, including the inhalers were taken away, and Nagase was relieved of his duties.

Brian Peckford, a former Premier of Newfoundland, provided the text of the doctor’s speech on his blog, Peckford42.

“Let me tell you what happened in Rimbey Alberta, a small town couple hours west of Red Deer,” Nagase said at the beginning of his speech. “It shocked me.”

I started on Saturday morning in the ER, and when it came time to round on the ward patients, the charge nurse informed me that 3 of the patients on the COVID wing had deteriorated overnight.

All the patients were on Oxygen and extremely short of breath. The only medication these patients were on were steroids—a medication that will decrease inflammation but increase the chances of a bacterial infection by suppressing the immune system. That’s right, the only medication the COVID patients at this hospital were on were immune suppressants.

One woman said it felt like we just put her in a corner to die. We weren’t doing anything for her. I told her, I can’t speak for the usual doctors during the week, but it’s the weekend, and I’ll do everything I can to help. I offered Ivermectin. She wanted to try it because she heard nothing but good things about it. All 3 patients wanted to try ivermectin.

The hospital didn’t have any, so we had to ask Red Deer Hospital’s Central Pharmacy for the medication. They refused to send Ivermectin. Red Deer’s central pharmacist said Ivermectin was useless for COVID. He even had the Pharmacy Director for all of Alberta contact me to tell me Ivermectin didn’t work.

The Pharmacy Director for Alberta Health services is Dr. Gerald Lazarenko. Remember that name. He is both a Pharmacist and a Doctor. And he insisted that Ivermectin had no place in the treatment of COVID. So we checked the local pharmacies. And God bless that charge nurse, although both pharmacies in town did not have ivermectin, there was one pharmacist who would do everything he could to get some even if it took all day.

We didn’t have all day, my patients were sick. So I started everyone on the next best thing, Hydroxychloroquine which the hospital did have. I also started Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc. And because the patients were coughing and short of breath I gave them inhalers… Salbutamol and Flovent, the same inhalers that have been used for asthma for over 50 years. I also gave them Azithromycin.

Surprisingly by late afternoon, the town pharmacist finally found some ivermectin.

He couldn’t get it from his usual chemical supply, because it was a Saturday. He had to get it from an agricultural supply. He checked to make sure that it was the exact same Ivermectin a pharmacist would give to a person, brought it back to his pharmacy and checked it again. He then called me with the good news. I handed Ivermectin to each of my 3 patients with their exact dose of according to their weight.

And you’ll never guess what happened next. Within hours of getting Ivermectin, I got a call from the Central Zone medical director, Dr Jennifer Bestard. She called me to tell me I was forbidden from giving Ivermectin to patients. I told her she’s never met the patients, she’s not their doctor, and had no right to be changing the care of my patients without the patient’s permission.

She said Ivermectin was forbidden from the hospital. Even if the patients had their own Ivermectin. (Which I would have happily given to a relative so they could to hand it over to them), Patients would not be allowed to take their own ivermectin. She said it was a violation of Alberta Health Services Policy to give Ivermectin for COVID.

But that wasn’t good enough. The next day she called the hospital and gave me 15 minutes notice that I would be relieved of my duties. I told her that it was unreasonable. I had an emergency department full of patients who can’t be sorted out in 15 minutes. An hour later another local doctor came to replace me. They didn’t even want me to check up on the patients who I gave Ivermectin to.

Not even 24 hours after getting Ivermectin, two out of my three patients were almost completely better. They were out of bed walking around and all the crackles I heard in their lungs from the day before were gone. All it took was about 18 hours and one dose of Ivermectin. The third patient who was 95 years old, stayed the same. She didn’t get any worse like she had done the night previous.

I found out later that no sooner had I left Rimbey hospital, the next doctor who came to replace me stopped the antibiotics, stopped all the vitamins, she even stopped the patient’s inhalers. Within hours of my leaving the hospital this doctor even took away the patient’s inhalers, to help her breathe. The patients were not even allowed vitamins.

Thankfully, both my 70 year old patients who had immediate recoveries after a single dose of ivermectin left the hospital that week. I’d like to speak briefly to the healthcare professionals in the crowd: No doctor would take away antibiotics and inhalers for ANY viral pneumonia, never mind COVID. No doctor would do that to ANY patient with a pneumonia. Unless they were… Well I’ll let you think about that. We are remembering Nuremburg after all. And for healthcare professionals, I want us all to think very deeply about that.

But it gets worse, In my brief day and a half in the small town of Rimbey, I saw 2 patients who had recently been discharged from Red Deer Hospital after being on the COVID ward.
They were sent home with NOTHING. Not even an inhaler. These patients ended up in ER at a small hospital wanting help. Just days after being sent home from a tertiary care hospital with nothing.

There is something malicious going on. I hope you can all see the bigger picture. This is more than me having all my assignments to take care of small communities cancelled for the rest of the year. This is more than the medical director, Dr. Fraincois Belanger banning me from hospital practice throughout all of Alberta.

Just a week after giving ivermectin and then filing a complaint against the Alberta Pharmacy Director,
a complaint sent to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, about the Pharmacy director for an entire province denying 11 pages of studies showing 0% mortality for patients given Ivermectin.

In study after study after study, 0% mortality, 0% mortality, 0% mortality… with Ivermectin.

And in “Severe” COVID? A 50% reduction in mortality with Ivermectin.

This is all in the Alberta Health Services own Ivermectin report.

Just a week after I filed a complaint that Dr. Gerald Lazarenko was withholding a life saving medication from an entire province, the Alberta college of physicians and Surgeons forbade doctors and pharmacists from giving patients ivermectin.

We must remember.
We are here to remember.
Not just the people who died from medical experimentation.

We are here to remember the people today.
We are here to remember every single doctor, lawyer, and medical ethicist that sits on the board of the BC college who is investigating Dr. Charles Hoffe for speakng the truth.

We are here to remember every doctor who stopped patients from having a live saving medication.

And what for? To boost mortality? To create an ICU “crisis”? To create a state of emergency?

All to push a vaccine?

We must remember, the people of the past. And the people of today.

History repeats itself.
Nuremburg will happen again.
We must remember."

I know there are some good doctors out there but my overall trust in the medical community is completely gone. It was bad enough to see health care politicized but now they are willing partners in the murder of their own patients. This is a level of insanity, corruption and evil like we've never seen in America.
I'd rather be put in the care of an African witch doctor than to see any of our medical "professionals" right now.

As a Type 1 diabetic, I see my diabetes doc every three months. During my visit a few weeks ago, she asked if I had been vaccinated and when I told her no, she added that to my health info in her laptop. I had a 5 minute conversation about the virus and so called vaccine and when we were done talking, I walked her through that the vaccine is worthless for someone who has already had the virus and how ineffective it is in keeping people from getting the virus over and over. When we got back to the diabetes discussion, it was clear to me that someone has really threatened these doctors to tow the bullshit line that you must get the vaccine or else. I almost asked her about the Hippocratic oath they take but decided not to go down that road as it was apparent that she has been forced to take this stance. I truly hope these MF'rs go straight to hell when they die and the sooner the better. In my 64 years on this earth, I have only seen this type of behavior in the worst Communist countries on this planet. The things I read here are truly frightening and the Gestapo have now arrived on our shores.

6 Scandals The Media Won’t Tell You About Outgoing NIH Director Francis Collins.

Why won't they report the verified facts about this D.C. career bureaucrat's life?

https://thenationalpulse.com/a...tor-francis-collins/

Francis Collins, director of the U.S. National Institutes for Health (NIH) and one of the leading public voices during the COVID-19 pandemic will step down from his role following a number of investigative reports into Collins and his underlings.

Appointed by President Obama in 2009, Collins issued a statement this week saying: “I fundamentally believe … that no single person should serve in the position too long, and that it’s time to bring in a new scientist to lead the NIH into the future.”

But it is unlikely Collins’s belief in a revolving door at the NIH that has prompted the move. Rather, with pressure mounting on key public figures such as his minion Anthony Fauci and arms-length brother-in-arms Peter Daszak, it is worth looking at what the media won’t be saying about Collins this week.

The National Pulse has reported:
1. Francis Collins Advises Chinese Military Proxy-Linked Group Working Alongside COVID-19 Gene Storage Firm.

https://thenationalpulse.com/e...-proxy-bgi-genomics/

National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins serves on the advisory board of a conference sponsored by a Chinese military-linked genomics firm. The D.C.-based, health industry big-wig and boss to Anthony Fauci has even referred to the controversial company’s founder as a “friend”.

BGI Genomics has been flagged by U.S. intelligence officials for its robust efforts to “collect, store and exploit biometric information” on American citizens through COVID-19 test kits. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the firm has deep ties to both the Chinese Communist Party and its military.

2. Collins Admits Funding Wuhan Lab: ‘We Had No Control Over What They Were Doing.’

https://thenationalpulse.com/n...hat-they-were-doing/

Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institute for Health (NIH), appears to have directly contradicted his underling Dr. Anthony Fauci in a bombshell moment from an interview with Hugh Hewitt.

The revelations further implicate those who approved U.S. grants to the lab, and the EcoHealth Alliance run by the British-born Peter Dazcak – who The National Pulse first reported on back in February.

Senator Ron Johnson Points Out No FDA Approved Vaccine is Currently Available in The United States, Pfizer Comirnaty Vaccine Not Being Used

On August 23, 2021, the FDA announced that Pfizer was granted Biologic License Application approval for their COVID-19 vaccine. [Press release Here] you can find the Approval Letter at the following LINK HERE. The approved Pfizer vaccine is not the same as the original COVID-19 vaccine from the same company. Pfizer named the new blend “Comirnaty”, and it was approved for individuals 16 years of age and older.

However, Senator Ron Johnson continues to point out that Pfizer’s FDA Approved “Comirnaty” vaccine is not available in the United States. The only nation currently known to be using Comirnaty is Israel who contracted exclusively with Pfizer to use their population as test subjects for the pharmaceutical company. There are no FDA approved vaccines available in the U.S. despite the media claims and despite vaccines being forcibly injected into the arms of unwilling U.S. test subjects.

Ron Johnson wants to know why, and the FDA is refusing to answer his questions.

Illinois teachers sue districts over statewide vaccine mandate

Ten teachers in the Metro East who refuse to comply with statewide vaccine and mask mandates are suing their school districts over the policies.

The lawsuit against Triad, in Troy, and Edwardsville school districts and their superintendents says the mandates were illegally issued. The claim filed in Madison County Circuit Court asks that the teachers be allowed to continue working in their schools.

The school districts “don’t have the delegated authority to compel vaccination or testing,” said attorney Thomas DeVore of Greenville. “They could have stood up for their educators … but they don’t want to take on the governor.”

Teachers’ unions representing Edwardsville and Triad support the districts’ vaccine and mask mandates.

“Triad Education Association is committed to delivering the best possible education to the students of the Triad School District in the safest environment for the students and staff possible,” reads a statement from the Triad union. “Ninety percent of teachers in the Triad School District are vaccinated, and the majority of those who are not are willingly complying with the testing mandates set forth by the state.”

Aspirin lowers risk of COVID: new findings support preliminary Israeli trial

The treatment reduced the risk of reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%. ICU admissions were lower by 43%, and an overall in-hospital mortality saw a 47% decrease.

https://www.jpost.com/health-a...israeli-trial-681127

Over-the-counter aspirin could protect the lungs of COVID-19 patients and minimize the need for mechanical ventilation, say researchers at the George Washington University.

The team investigated more than 400 COVID patients from hospitals across the United States who take aspirin unrelated to their COVID disease, and found that the treatment reduced the risk of several parameters by almost half: reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%, ICU admissions by 43%, and overall in-hospital mortality by 47%.

“As we learned about the connection between blood clots and COVID-19, we knew that aspirin – used to prevent stroke and heart attack – could be important for COVID-19 patients,” said Dr. Jonathan Chow of the study team. “Our research found an association between low-dose aspirin and decreased severity of COVID-19 and death.”

Low-dose aspirin is a common treatment for anyone suffering from blood clotting issues or in danger of stroke, including most people who had a heart attack or a myocardial infarction. Although affecting the respiratory system, the coronavirus has been associated with small blood vessel clotting, causing tiny blockages in the pulmonary blood system, leading to ARDS - acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Israeli researchers reached similar results in a preliminary trial at the Barzilai Medical Center in March. In addition to its effect on blood clots, they found that aspirin carried immunological benefits and that the group taking it was 29% less likely to become infected with the virus in the first place.

“Aspirin is low cost, easily accessible and millions are already using it to treat their health conditions,” said Chow. “Finding this association is a huge win for those looking to reduce risk from some of the most devastating effects of COVID-19.”
