Australian COVID-19 Royal Commission ToR Inquiry begins

On February 1, 2024 Australia began a Senate inquiry to draft the terms of reference (ToR) for a future Royal Commission to investigate the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. [1] On October 19, 2023, Senator Malcolm Roberts of One Nation put a motion before the Senate to set up a committee to produce the Terms of Reference for a COVID-19 Royal Commission, something the party suggested in February 7, 2022 because of the failed pandemic response.  If we don't formally "understand the mistakes we are doomed to repeat them."  This was accepted, the public made submissions, some jointly, and the Inquiry report is due March 31, 2024. [2, 3, 4, 5] The people deserved to see what justified the decisions that destroyed so many lives states Senator Pauline Hanson, Feb 7, 2022 Australia's PM Anthony Albanese promised in his election campaign to hold a Royal Commission, but reneged, instead on September 21, 2023 announced a 12 month "Commonwealth Government COVID-19 Response Inquiry" [6, 7], which shockingly only looks at the federal response and exclude unilateral actions of states or territories - the very entities that forced the draconian mandates and edicts upon their citizens under repeated State..> READ MORE

Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA – setting research guidelines

On February 24-27, 1975 the International Congress on Recombinant DNA Molecules was held in Asilomar, California - Known as Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA.   The conference was organised by Paul Berg, who in 1971 founded gene-splicing technique, and in 2008 he wrote that "the meeting set standards allowing geneticists to push research to its limits without endangering public health." [1] 1975 was "when the technology was being developed, some scientists became concerned that it might be possible to create hazardous microorganisms using recombinant DNA techniques. The scientists themselves called for an investigation of the safety of the technique. Molecular biologists from around the world, including two from Australia, met for this purpose at Asilomar in California in 1975. The outcome of the Asilomar meeting was that scientists decided to continue recombinant DNA research using precautions to contain any possible hazards.” [2] Dr Malone writes "As they considered this new technology, they foresaw both great opportunity to advance knowledge and medicine, and great risk to cause catastrophic damage to both humanity and the biosphere."  In the 80's the "guidance which emerged from the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA were treated with reverence and respect", but over time "the structures created..> READ MORE

Virus sequence uploaded to GenBank, 2 weeks before official genome sequence release

On January 17, 2024, the US House Energy and Commerce Committee investigating the origins of COVID-19 released documents showing that Chinese researcher Dr Lili Ren, a co-investigator with Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, first submitted the SARS-CoV-2 virus sequence to the NIH’s GenBank genetic sequence database on December 28, 2019, two weeks before the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) first released the SARS-CoV-2 genetic sequence on January 11, 2020. [1, 2, 3,] "Dr. Lili Ren, an accomplished virologist at the Institute of Pathogen Biology of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing, China, which has ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and People’s Liberation Army. She is also a current subgrantee of non-profit EcoHealth Alliance on the same National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) grant as the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which has been debarred from receiving NIH grants for ten years for failing to provide laboratory records requested by NIH and for conducting research that “did lead or could lead to health issues or other unacceptable outcomes.” " Her sequence was "nearly identical to the to the sequence later made public by the China CDC on January 10, 2020". The 2015..> READ MORE

CDC launches V-Safe App to track COVID-19 vaccine side effects

On December 10, 2020 the CDC launched their new COVID-19 vaccine smartphone App called V-safe After Vaccination Health Checker.  Volunteers could download the app and then be prompted to report any "side effects" they experience following their COVID-19 vaccinations. "Depending on your answers, someone from CDC may call to check on you and get more information. And v-safe will remind you to get your second COVID-19 vaccine dose if you need one." [1]  The app prompts feedback on days 21 and 42 after each vaccine dose and at 3, 6, and 12 months after the last vaccine dose. [5] Initially, on Jan 28, 2021, the CDC planned to call anyone who reported an adverse health impact to v-safe (v-safe protocol v.2 at p.5) but by May 20, 2021 they "had to abandon that plan early on after rolling out v-safe due to the volume of people reporting impacts (v-safe protocol v.3 at pp.7-8)" [6]  They also didn't include their proposed Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) as check boxes. On December 29, 2020 the CDC decided to set up the V-Safe Pregnancy surveillance protocol which would look for pregnant women and ask them to join the v-safe pregnancy registry. It..> READ MORE

The First International Organisation the Red Cross takes shape in Geneva

The history of the Red Cross begins with an initiative of a man named Henry Dunant (from Geneva, Switzerland) who, with the help of local women, helped care for wounded soldiers at the battle of Solferino in 1859.   Dunant then lobbied political leaders to take more action to protect war victims. His two main ideas were for a treaty that would oblige armies to care of all wounded soldiers and for the creation of national societies that would help the military medical services." [1] Dunant put down his ideas in a campaigning book, A Souvenir of Solferino, published in 1862. The Geneva Public Welfare Society formed a working group which first met in February 1863. An international conference with 16 nations convened in October 1863, to formalize the concept of national societies.  National Red Cross Societies formed and the Committee of Five in Geneva eventually became the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The standard emblem to identify medical personnel on the battlefield as agreed to be a red cross on a white background, the reverse of the Swiss flag. On August 22, 1864, delegates from a dozen countries signed the first Geneva Convention, the founding text of..> READ MORE

President Nixon stops US biological weapons program centered at Fort Detrick

On November 25, 1969 in a speech, President Richard Nixon announced the end of the U.S. offensive biological warfare/weapons program which was developing deadly biological weapons. [1, 2, 3] Since 1943 Camp Detrick was the home of biological warfare research, in 1956 it became Fort Detrick "with a mandate of continuing biological research and remaining the world’s leading research campus for biological agents that require special containment."  Following Nov 25, 1969 Nixon announcement, "Research at Fort Detrick became focused solely on defensive measures – public health considerations, diagnostics, preventive measures, and treatments for biological warfare infections."  It was stated at the time the "only defense that we have at present in this country against an enemy's biological attach is purely a medical matter.. " Developments from 1971 allowed the US Army and HHS to work side by side on the campus, broadening into cancer research and becoming the "center of scientific excellence in the area of public health". [4, 5, 6] Since the beginning Fort Detrick has been the home of anthrax research [5].  Between 1951-55 an anthrax vaccine was developed, and  in 1960 first outbreak of anthrax in the 20th Century occurred.  Since the 1950s research staff have been..> READ MORE
