The Grotesque Fowl Flu Rip-off and How Colds or Flus Ought to Be Handled
Nearly yearly, it appears a pandemic is overestimated. I’d argue that is as a result of:
• They offer federal businesses (e.g., the CDC) a solution to justify their necessity and get Congressional funding.
• The media thrives off of hooking the general public by means of worry and appeasing its sponsors (e.g., the pharmaceutical trade).
• It sustains a biodefense trade that makes use of worry to get some huge cash (e.g., 27.7 billion {dollars} in 20231) to “stop” pandemics.
• Tackling most of the actual well being points going through our nation requires confronting the vested pursuits accountable for them and addressing the underlying causes of continual sicknesses within the nation. In distinction, going to warfare towards a illness is much simpler and receives minimal pushback however permits the federal government to current the facade of safeguarding our well being.
As such, we are going to continuously 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). Nevertheless 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 earlier article, I mentioned how the biodefense trade repeatedly cultivates bioweapons in labs to “shield” us from them. Earlier than COVID-19, this trade had been beneath nice scrutiny as many inside the scientific neighborhood have been nervous its dangerous actions might result in a catastrophic lab leak.
Nevertheless, as soon as SARS-CoV-2 leaked, the complete scientific institution selected to double down on this analysis and label any insinuation lab leaks might happen “a conspiracy concept” or “a hazard to science.”
Be aware: This characterizes Peter Hotez, who in 2012 secured a 6.1 million grant3 from the NIH to develop a SARS vaccine with the acknowledged goal of responding to any “unintentional 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 frequent and remarkably, the trade has not addressed it, as its funding is contingent on a risk persevering with to exist (somewhat than it being eradicated). Moreover, many of those lab leaks are fairly consequential reminiscent of:
• 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 mean of 4 instances per week.7
• Quite a few deadly lab leaks involving smallpox and anthrax occurred within the U.S., U.Okay., 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 present fowl flu pandemic originated from a USDA lab leak.
Be aware: A extra detailed checklist of consequential lab leaks could be discovered right here.
Vivisection
One of many main sources of maximum and pointless animal cruelty is the animal analysis trade, which sacrifices over 100 million animals every year,15 continuously in horrific ways in which don’t have any scientific worth in anyway.
Vivisection (first utilized in 1707) describes the apply 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 faculty believed medical science should be goal, rational, and dispassionate so it was unethical to be squeamish or sentimental about hurting acutely 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 “obligatory remedies 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 have been so merciless they brought about a widespread motion towards it to emerge and quite a few animal welfare legal guidelines to be handed.16,17 Nonetheless, vivisection continued (with a lot of its medical advocates holding the identical contempt in the direction of the “anti-vivisectionists” as we see now directed at “anti-vaxxers”) and the opposition to it has grow to be a forgotten chapter in our historical past.
This in flip touches upon one of the vital essential factors these activists raised — most of the merciless (and infrequently pointless) practices in trendy drugs arose from the mentality that gave rise to vivisection, so a great case could 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 Undertaking (WCW) found an efficient solution to cease vivisectionist practices by highlighting not solely the cruelty concerned but in addition how a lot cash was being wasted on that dangerous analysis. Because of this, WCW has repeatedly gotten many tales to go viral (e.g., Fauci spending tens of millions on research the place beagles have been restrained in order that they may very well be eaten alive by sandflies18).
WCW’s work touches on a key level — the first motive a lot of this analysis happens is so that everybody can feed off the grants for it, not as a result of it presents any worth to society. For instance I just lately coated:
• A Colorado College establishing a bat lab to check harmful infectious ailments that has been extensively protested by the neighborhood (as they are not looking for a Wuhan of their backdoor — significantly since FOIA paperwork confirmed accidents occurred there one to 3 instances a month).
Nevertheless, since that College has obtained 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 scale back mosquito populations, regardless of there being no proof this strategy works or is protected for the ecosystem. Like Colorado, regardless of widespread protest (and lawsuits) towards 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 doubtless this harmful analysis will significantly lower (significantly because the NIH simply stopped sponsoring Universities from with the ability to pocket a lot of the funding for themselves25).
Pumping and Dumping Vaccines
The annual flu vaccines have a somewhat poor monitor document as:
• It’s continuously for the “fallacious” 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, research have proven flu photographs make you extra more likely to catch colds or a flu.
• The present (and sure biased) proof reveals you need 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 finest, it has prevented influenza charges from rising alongside a rising inhabitants:
Given this poor efficacy, the actual threat of uncomfortable side effects from the vaccines (e.g., one giant examine discovered 37.8% of influenza vaccine recipients with an current coronary heart situation had an hostile response and 1.1% of recipients had a extreme response29), it is fairly questionable if America is making a great funding shopping for 150 million influenza vaccine doses every year.30
Sadly, one of the vital frequent grifts on this trade 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 numerous shares that buyers eagerly purchase up (spiking the value).
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).
Be aware: Lots of the deaths attributed to the flu are doubtless resulting from different causes, and as I present right here regardless of flu having been the principle 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 exams to justify draconian containment actions. But regardless of this abjectly failing (e.g., the present fowl flu has been happening since 2020), the Biodefense trade is solely asking for extra (e.g., just lately Deborah Birx referred to as for us to check all cows for fowl flu).
The identical one that satisfied America to repeatedly take a look at 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

Since poultry have fewer rights than people, to “cease the unfold” every time fowl flu is suspected to have entered a facility (e.g., resulting from a constructive PCR take a look at), a fast cull will likely be carried out, and at this level, 159 million birds (77.5% of which have been egg-laying chickens) have already been culled to cease the present fowl flu.31 Many strongly disagree with this strategy as:
• The proof that it really works is kind of restricted (e.g., a 2024 systematic evaluation, discovered mass culling is as efficient as merely vaccinating flocks32).
• The present proof reveals that culling (of each contaminated flocks and people within the neighborhood) can present short-term reductions in fowl flu circumstances however it can not 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 (somewhat than choosing for the birds that survived and imparting genetic resistance to the flocks).34
• Animals that aren’t prone to fowl flu (e.g., free-range chickens not dwelling in tightly packed indoor buildings) are additionally being culled.
Be aware: As I present right here, a really robust case could be made that just about all of the infectious illness deaths vaccines “prevented” have been really resulting from individuals beforehand having atrocious dwelling situations.35
• Mass culling is kind of merciless (and reflective of how a lot in the identical approach vivisection is usually favored, veterinary drugs will typically default to easily euthanizing animals).
Be aware: The federal government has additionally given Moderna nearly a billion {dollars} (176 million final yr and 590 million early this yr) to develop mRNA fowl flu vaccines (which many People are not looking for 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 essential moral safeguards that exist to guard animal welfare36) after which partially compensate farmers for the prices of this.
Be aware: Presently, 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 biggest agricultural producers whose shares have since soared.38
In distinction, I imagine the next approaches must be significantly thought-about.
1. Farmers, particularly these elevating their birds in more healthy situations, ought to have the choice to permit fowl flu to comb by means of their flocks and choose for the birds that survive with immunity.
2. There must be monetary incentives to boost birds in cleaner and fewer tightly packed situations somewhat than funneling that cash to the massive companies that maintain their birds in unhealthy situations 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 probability of dying and elevated their productiveness (whereas unnatural synthetic lights typically did the alternative).39 Likewise, it is well-known that UV mild successfully inactivates numerous pathogens, together with viruses, and in current days, this strategy to fowl flu is eventually starting to be explored.40
Be aware: Equally, simple 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
Because the biodefense and influenza trade revolve across the mythology that viral infections can’t be handled, it’s vital to reveal that lie and the false pillars that maintain it.
Daylight
Daylight is important for well being (e.g., avoiding the solar is extra lethal than common smoking and somewhat than inflicting it, daylight prevents deadly cancers). Daylight additionally performs a pivotal function in stopping viral sicknesses. For instance:
• Sunbathing was one of the vital efficient remedies for the “incurable” 1918 influenza42 and continuously improves colds and the flu.
• Dozens of research over the many years have proven that vitamin D is more practical than flu photographs at stopping influenza.43
• Enough vitamin D was demonstrated to considerably cut back the severity of COVID-1944 and threat of dying from it.45
Be aware: Whereas vitamin D can enhance viral sicknesses, it’s the simplest as a preventative. As such, it’s important to take care of enough 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)
If you end up uncovered to daylight, as a small quantity enters the bloodstream, the advantages of sunbathing for infections impressed placing UV mild straight into the physique. UVBI (mentioned intimately right here) produced such dramatic outcomes (e.g., for in any other case deadly infections and extreme autoimmune situations) that it quickly unfold by means of America’s hospitals till the AMA blacklisted UVBI and it grew to become forgotten.
Fortuitously, physicians continued to make use of it (significantly exterior of America) and a whole lot of research have since demonstrated its outstanding utility for a myriad of situations — together with “incurable” viral sicknesses. 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 means to struggle viral sicknesses. Nevertheless, since fevers are disagreeable, medical take care of viral sicknesses primarily revolves round taking a fever suppressing remedy.
Remarkably, this has been recognized because the 1918 influenza, the place it was noticed that sufferers who took giant doses of aspirin (one of many earliest fever suppressing medicines) have been more likely to die. Likewise, NSAIDs like ibuprofen made sufferers 2.57 instances extra more likely to develop extreme pneumonias,46 whereas Tylenol made hospitalized sufferers 3.24 instances extra more likely to die from COVID.47 In flip, we have found:
• Appropriately heating the physique is a wonderful remedy for colds and flus.
• The discomfort one experiences from a fever is usually as a result of pressure the physique undergoes to warmth itself somewhat than the warmth itself. As such, the easiest way to alleviate these signs typically 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 changing into microclots or lymphatic drainage from the lungs changing into congested) — a lot of which happens after a important threshold has been reached.
One of many main issues with vaccines and plenty of infectious sicknesses is that they impair the physique’s zeta potential and trigger fluid clumping to occur (e.g., vaccines continuously set off observable microstrokes).
Sometimes this clumping ends in one feeling congested, but when somebody already has a zeta potential impairment (which is frequent within the aged), the extra fluid clumping could be enough to hospitalize them. As such, we regularly discover enhancing the physiologic zeta potential to be immensely useful for viral sicknesses.
Disinfectants
Since viruses initially colonize the higher airway (e.g., ears, nostril, and throat), utilizing an applicable disinfectant to get rid of them in these areas earlier than the sickness can unfold into the lungs is usually one of the vital efficient therapies that exists for acute viral sicknesses.
The truth is, all through COVID-19, this strategy was discovered to be the simplest remedy for the sickness (to the purpose it doubtless would have ended the pandemic if the general public had been knowledgeable). Likewise, for many years I’ve discovered this to be an especially accessible and efficient remedy for colds and flus.
Conclusion
Whereas science is an unbelievable software that may resolve most of the urgent points humanity faces, I imagine the prevailing monetary incentives far too continuously flip it right into a pressure that works towards our pursuits as nearly limitless cash exists to “resolve” the issues we face, however little or no accountability exists for individuals 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 pricey outdated ones. That is an unbelievable alternative, and I sincerely hope we will make the perfect of it.
Writer’s Be aware: That is an abridged model of an extended article that discusses the above factors in additional element and critiques the pure therapies we have discovered persistently treats viral sicknesses like colds and flus (together with the right way to administer them). That article and its further references could be learn right here.
