    I am beginning to agree with Clandestine's views that China being responsible is a limited hangout - he makes his points well I think



    I watched the Tucker segment last night, and agreed it leaned too heavy on China being responsible, first time in a while I wondered if his show had some narrative-control rather than truth-seeking directives as well.

    • Woody Harrelson Tells Truth About COVID On SNL!

    Actor Woody Harrelson hosted Saturday Night Live this past week and during his monologue took a shot at Big Pharma, suggesting that the entire industry is one big “drug cartel.” Of course he was roundly attacked in the media as an “anti-vaxxer” and excoriated by blue check Twitter for failing to toe the narrative line on COVID. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Harrelson was speaking from prepared remarks or off the cuff.

    Well now Colbert can attack the FBI also?

    No, he probably has updated narrative-control marching orders by now....

    Jon Stewart recalls outrage after he backed COVID-19 lab leak theory: ‘F–k you, I’m done’



    Jon Stewart is still miffed over the backlash he faced last year for backing the COVID-19 lab leak theory during a now-infamous appearance as a guest on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

    The comedian revisited the controversy during the latest episode of his AppleTV+ show “The Problem with Jon Stewart” on Monday – one day after a bombshell revelation that the US Energy Department now views a lab leak as the most likely explanation for the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Despite the revelation, Stewart downplayed the notion that he was vindicated by the classified report, which has yet to be made public.

    The former “Daily Show” host had faced condemnation for backing the theory during his June 2021 discussion with Colbert.

    “First of all, I wasn’t waiting on the Department of Energy to weigh in on this,” Stewart joked.

    “The larger problem with all of this is the inability to discuss things that are within the realm of possibility without falling into absolutes and litmus-testing each other for our political allegiances as it arose from that,” Stewart added.

    “My bigger problem with that was, I thought it was a pretty good bit that expressed kind of how I felt, and the two things that came out of it were, I’m racist against Asian people, and how dare I align myself with the alt-right.”

    Stewart recalled that the backlash he faced was “swift, immediate and quite loud” in the aftermath of his appearance, though he added that he “didn’t take that personally.”

    “The part that I don’t like about it is the absolutes and the dismissive like ‘f–k you, I’m done with you. I will never forgive you, you have crossed an unforgivable line. You’ve expressed an opinion that is antithetical to mine, or not mine,’” Stewart continued.

    “What was stunning to me, I think, was the anger,” he added.

    Critics on the left attacked Stewart for his remarks on “The Late Show” last year. At the time, the COVID-19 lab leak theory was widely panned as a conspiracy theory by most mainstream media outlets.

    Colbert appeared to be shocked by Stewart’s stance.

    “Science has, in many ways, helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science,” Stewart said.

    “Do you mean perhaps there’s a chance that this was created in a lab? If there’s evidence, I’d love to hear it, I just don’t know,” Colbert said.

    “A chance? Oh my God!” Stewart replied with clear incredulity. “There’s a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China, what do we do? Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab.”

    “‘Oh my God, there’s been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you think happened?'” Stewart added. “Like, ‘Oh, I don’t know, maybe a steam shovel mated with a cocoa bean?’ Or it’s the f—ing chocolate factory.”

    The Energy Department said it had “low confidence” in its determination about the COVID-19 virus’s origins, sources with knowledge of the report told the Wall Street Journal.

    A year earlier, the FBI concluded with “moderate confidence” that a lab accident caused the outbreak.

    Hypocrisy Unlimited: Hollywood’s Secret Counterfeit Vaccine Network

    Even less fun for all of us was COVID-19, but for Hollywood, it was especially inconvenient because of the stringent California laws that the studios took to with alacrity. You had no career without mRNA certification. You were supposed to be vaccinated just to get on the studio lot.

    The phone call I mentioned above was with a person who works in the entertainment industry and said he or she obtained—through connections—vaccination record cards for use by major Hollywood celebrities and others.

    These aren’t counterfeits, but actual cards purloined from a hospital pharmacy where the vaccines were sold and included batch numbers but without names attached. In essence, they were contraband.

    Masks, the jury returns

    Dr. John Campbell 3 ,3, 2023
    RCTs did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks.

    There were no clear differences between the use of medical/surgical masks compared with N95/P2 respirators in healthcare workers,

    when used in routine care to reduce respiratory viral infection.

    Do physical measures such as hand-washing or wearing masks stop or slow down the spread of respiratory viruses?----

    Anyone knows anything about Putin ordering destruction of all covid-19 vaccines in Russia ?

    http://realrawnews.com/2023/03/putin...nes-in-russia/

    Fake news I think but who knows, the wheels are spinning fast now, things are changing at very fast pace.

    If the link above fail to open, please try here someone already archived it..
    http://web.archive.org/web/202303052...nes-in-russia/

    and pardon for my ignorance, but I am not following this issue of covaids anymore, a friend asked yesterday if it was true or not.
    Thanks for any input.


    Specially because of this part in the article, it makes me rise an eyebrown!!!

    “President Putin told her not to get any more vaccines, but she is Westernized, she accepted the lies, and now she must stay on medicine her whole life. This infuriated President Putin,” Zakharov said."

    see the case of the Thai princess and I think another Royals around the world with similar issues caused by vaccines.

    If all this is true and we see these people coming forward against vaccines, then it may change a lot of things and actually we will see some heads rolling.. start with the so called scientists.. hang them all using their own socks!!!

    Government considered asking public to kill pet cats during Covid pandemic, says former health minister



    A former health minister has revealed that the government considered calling for Britons to kill their pets during the pandemic.

    Lord Bethell made the revelation during an interview with Channel 4 News, where he said they were “very unclear” about whether pets transmitted Covid-19.

    “In fact,” he said, “there was an idea at one moment that we may have to ask the public to exterminate all the cats in Britain.”

    Note that the quote is actually "pets" not just cats. Imagine too the furore in a nation of animal lovers . . . .

    The Mainstream Media and the Democrats Were So Hellbent on Proving Trump Wrong They Refused to Investigate The Origins of COVID, This Fact is Absolutely Astonishing

    Credibility crisis: CNN boss ordered staff not to chase down COVID lab leak theory as pandemic unfolded

    Then-CNN president Jeff Zucker considered the lab-leak theory a 'Trump talking point,' according to an insider

    CNN has long referred to itself as "the most trusted name in news" and famously launched its "Facts First" campaign during the Trump era, but like many other outlets, that sentiment fell by the wayside when it came to the COVID lab-leak theory.

    In recent days, the theory that COVID originated from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology has been embraced by FBI Director Christopher Wray and a bombshell report indicated that the U.S. Energy Department believes the virus likely started in the lab, a sentiment expressed by top Trump administration officials nearly from the outset.

    But in the early months of the pandemic, then-CNN president Jeff Zucker would not allow his network to chase down the lab-leak story because he believed it was a "Trump talking point," according to a well-placed CNN insider.

    "People are slowly waking up from the fog," the insider told Fox News Digital. "It is kind of crazy that we didn't chase it harder."

    Former CNN boss Jeff Zucker had ordered staff to not pursue the COVID lab-leak theory as he deemed it as being a "Trump talking point," according to one well-placed CNN insider.

    Throughout Zucker's tenure as CNN's chief, he pulled what was once widely seen as a straight-news organization to an anti-Trump operation. CNN bent over backwards to knock down what former President Trump and members of his administration said lending credibility to the lab-leak theory, as the White House was deemed a nemesis by the network.
    On March 28, 2020, CNN’s Oliver Darcy published a story headlined, "Here’s how to debunk coronavirus misinformation and conspiracy theories from friends and family," that offered advice about dealing with pesky loved ones who didn't believe in mainstream COVID-19 narratives at the time.

    "While the coronavirus pandemic has isolated family and friends inside their homes, it has in many cases increased online or over-the-phone communication with loved ones," Darcy wrote.

    "But, in some cases, relatives and friends share poor information – whether it is bad science related to how to prevent the virus, debunked rumors about cities being put on lockdown, or conspiracy theories about the origins of Covid-19. While any strain of misinformation is not ideal, misinformation related to a public health crisis has an especially dangerous element to it," Darcy continued before declaring that "bad information during a public health emergency poses a risk to those who fall victim to it."

    Darcy's admonition came as CNN was one of many mainstream outlets to declare the lab-leak notion utterly preposterous.
    CNN host Fareed Zakaria once said "the far right has now found its own virus conspiracy theory" while discussing the possibility of a lab leak.

    On Feb. 18, 2020, CNN published a "Facts First" examination of claims made by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., one of the earlier supporters of the lab leak theory. CNN insisted "it’s possible, yet unlikely, that the lab was connected to the start of the outbreak," citing an infectious disease expert who said of the lab leak theory, "I have seen no one provide any solid information to support that theory. I think at this point you can draw a line through it and say that didn’t happen."
    CNN anchor John Vause called Cotton’s theory "misinformation" on air during a conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci that year, who responded that "theories that are not based on evidence and facts often can really mislead people."

    A CNN headline from April 2020 reading "Nearly 30% in the US believe a coronavirus theory that’s almost certainly not true" was based on a Pew Research poll taken at the time.

    "Its origin is up for debate, but it wasn’t made in a lab," CNN reported. "There’s still much we don’t know about the coronavirus pandemic, but virus experts agree on one piece of its origin story: The virus likely originated in a bat, not in a Chinese lab."
    On May 5, 2020, CNN published an analysis by Chris Cillizza, who has since been laid off from the network, headlined, "Anthony Fauci just crushed Donald Trump’s theory on the origins of the coronavirus." The piece noted that Trump "has been making the case that the coronavirus originated not in nature but in a lab in Wuhan, China" but insisted Fauci’s claim that the virus likely originated naturally was more accurate.
    "Now, before we play the game of ‘he said, he said’ remember this: Only one of these two people is a world-renowned infectious disease expert. And it’s not Donald Trump," Cillizza wrote.

    "In short, Fauci’s view on the origins of the disease matters a whole lot more than Trump’s opinion about where it came from," he continued. "Especially because, outside of Trump and his immediate inner circle, most people in a position to know are very, very skeptical of the Trump narrative that the virus came out of a lab – whether accidentally or on purpose."
    In 2021, ex-CDC Director Robert Redfield – a virologist by trade – told CNN he believed coronavirus escaped from the Wuhan lab but was promptly dismissed. CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta told viewers that the World Health Organization (WHO) feels the lab leak theory was "unlikely" and Chinese officials have pointed to "multiple" origins, including "U.S. military labs."

    The Twitter account for CNN's since-canceled "New Day" even framed Redfield's theory as lacking "clear evidence." CNN’s online coverage of the Redfield interview took things a step further, calling it a "controversial theory without evidence."

    Chris Cuomo, who was CNN's biggest star at the time before his firing in December 2021, admitted to viewers in May 2020 he didn't know whether the lab-leak theory was true, but he invited CNN correspondent Alex Marquardt to downplay it, reporting that the "body of evidence is circumstantial," "foreign intelligence partners dispute" the theory, citing the World Health Organization calling it "speculative" and even echoing China's swipe towards Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as being "insane" for touting the theory.

    The early stages of COVID were a tough time for CNN, as the network not only dismissed the lab leak theory and allowed Chris Cuomo to goof around on air with his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D., it was also accused of hypocrisy.
    Jim Acosta, now a left-wing weekend anchor who served as CNN’s chief White House reporter at the time, was mocked for declaring Trump referring to the virus as "foreign" could be "smacking of xenophobia." Weeks earlier, Acosta himself had tweeted about the "Wuhan coronavirus," and his own network had used the same term.

    Not true. Real Raw News is a satirical, spoof, fake news site.
