Is this proof of lab leak lies?

New documents reveal how leading scientists manipulated the truth

There are many things we still do not know about the origins of this pandemic — including the central issue of whether it began with natural spillover from animals or some kind of laboratory incident. But we do know one thing now beyond debate: speculative “gain-of-function” experiments on mutant bat viruses were taking place in Wuhan laboratories.

The Vaccine Mandate Assault on the Common Good

As President Joe Biden launches via executive order a sweeping vaccine mandate for all federal government workers, and now a brand-new initiative for private-sector mandates, the issue has once again risen to the forefront of the national dialogue.

United Airlines, for example, recently became the first U.S. airline to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for all its employees. United Airlines’ mandate takes effect on September 27, and it might augur a broader trend: A poll conducted last month by insurance and advisory firm Willis Towers Watson, for example, suggests that 52 percent of private-sector employers surveyed expect to have a workplace vaccine mandate by the end of 2021. As Biden’s brand-new announcement of a Department of Labor rule for private-sector vaccination requirement now makes clear, that poll was prescient.

Fauci-Funded Wuhan Lab Viruses Exhibited Over 10,000 Times Higher Viral Load Than Natural Strain, Documents Show

U.S. and Chinese researchers funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) created viruses in a Wuhan lab that exhibited over 10,000 times higher viral load in humanized mice than the natural virus they were based on, according to an infectious disease professor citing documents recently released by the agency.

Greenwald astounded by ‘ignorant’ libs’ who can’t see how low-income folks hurt most by vaccine mandate

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out a very uncomfortable truth concerning the way liberals view non-liberals and how they simply refuse to see that implementing vaccine mandates impacts low-income individuals the most.

“The unvaccinated in America are overwhelmingly low-income people, which means any punitive measures against those refusing vaccinations — loss of jobs, bar on entrance to public spaces or travel — will disproportionately fall on those who are most economically vulnerable,” Greenwald noted on Twitter.

‘Fascist’: Biden COVID-19 vaccine mandates on private businesses spark immediate backlash

Republican governors and everyday Americans pledged to fight President Biden’s decision to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations or regular testing at large companies, saying it amounted to a brazen “assault” on private businesses.

Social media users vowed to buck the new rules, using the hashtag #IWillNotComply to air their frustration.

The Libertarian Party of Colorado said workers can send a message.

Ontario reports 848 new Covid cases … and it’s a brand Mu world!

Ontario reports 848 new COVID-19 cases; 11 new deaths

Ontario reported 848 new COVID-19 cases and 11 more deaths on Friday, as the province’s known active caseload has appeared to stabilize in the low-6,000 range for the last several days.

The seven-day rolling average of new cases now stands at 729, up from 723 yesterday but down from 732 one week ago.


A new COVID-19 variant ‘Mu’ has been detected in Ontario. Just how worried should we be about reports it could be vaccine resistant?

The good news is that the number of global cases of Mu, or B.1.621 as it is officially called, is tiny compared to those of the highly transmissible Delta and has even decreased in some regions in recent months.

But the bad news is that since Mu was first detected in Colombia in January, the variant has spread to some 42 countries, including 49 U.S. states. In Miami, Fla., alone, Mu is responsible for about 10 per cent of all COVID patients, behind Delta.

In Ontario, the variant was first detected on June 23 and has since been found 168 times in the province, mostly in the GTA.

The smoking gun on Anthony Fauci?

I want to prepare you for something right off the bat — nothing is going to happen to Anthony Fauci. He’s not going to prison. He’s not going to be brought up on perjury charges. He’s going to be allowed to retire quietly from his post, with presidential honors, and slip into a cast member role on Dancing with the Stars, although The Masked Singer seems more appropriate.

Masters of misinformation

Sometimes I find myself wishing there was a live, fluctuating irony meter superimposed on the television screen whenever some political expert or health official spoke, given that so often the words they murmur are dripping with unintentional, self-prosecuting satire. If one such meter existed, I can all but guarantee that Dr. Anthony Fauci would have just overwhelmed its fragile systems and caused it to explode.

‘Your refusal has cost us all’: Biden declares war on the 80M unvaccinated Americans ‘overrunning hospitals and ICUs’ in speech ordering all federal workers and employees in big firms to get shots

‘This is not about freedom or personal choice. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love. My job as president is to protect all Americans,’ he said in remarks in the State Dining Room at the White House.

‘We’ve been patient but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us. So please do the right thing,’ he said.

Biden’s speech was a marked change from previous remarks on the pandemic. He took a harsh tone with those who have not gotten vaccinated and expressed impatience with their decision not to get a shot in the arm.

COVID Researcher Sues Biden, Facebook, Twitter for Colluding to Censor Speech

The complaint, dated Aug. 31, alleged that the federal government “admits to conspiring with social media companies to censor messages with which it disagrees.”

The lawsuit argued that this viewpoint discrimination, in which the federal government directs Big Tech companies to censor views that challenge a certain narrative, violated the First Amendment.
