TGA grants provisional registration for Pfizer booster in 12-15 age group, but ATAGI does not recommend

On April 7, 2022 the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) granted Pfizer provisional registration for COVID-19 booster dose for adolescents 12-15 years, which would be a third shot six months after their first two regardless of which previous brand of vaccine used as their primary course. [1] One day earlier on April 6, 2022, Senator Malcolm Roberts questioned the TGA in a Senate Estimates session, over the safety of boosters for this young age group. On April 8, 2022 ATAGI met and concluded that based on current data they did not "currently" recommend the booster shot for 12 to 15 year, though they do still "strongly recommended" primary doses for ages 5-15. Reports of death and serious injury following the jab in all age groups including adolescent keep mounting up. As of April 19, 2022, over 57 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines had been administered in Australia according to ATAGI who continue to assess appropriateness of boosters for the adolescent age group..

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is formed

According to web archives by January 25, 1999 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) had formed, during Bill's Microsoft lawsuit.  This new Gates Foundation allowed Gates to reposition his brand from computer geek monopolist to “philanthropist” of public health. [2] The BMGF is an NGO that “gives back to global communities through increasing access to innovations in education, technology, and world health”, with a strong focus on reproductive health. [1] NGO’s are great for redistributing money (grants, donations, seed funds etc), disguising ownership (public unaware), avoiding/lowering tax (increase profits) and influencing “Public Health” entities into promoting industries/products they have a vested interest. NGO’s and foundations “donate” money to each other under the guise of philanthropy! The BMGF is “the largest private philanthropic foundation in the world” historically giving the biggest financial contributions to WHO, GAVI and Planned Parenthood and much more. Voluntary contributions made to the WHO are tied to specific donor-determined projects, giving donors (i.e. BMGF) power to steer how the funds are used. Only 5% of BMGF funds are openly donated, the remaining 95 percent of it’s funds are invested through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust (est. 2006), which in 2020 had a portfolio of..> READ MORE

SA ends State of Emergency after rule making changes hands

On May 24, 2022, the new South Australian government led by Premier Peter Malinauskas, as promised, allowed Grantly Stevens to end the state of emergency after 793 days - the first state to remove emergency powers. The declaration of an Emergency which began on March 22, 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19 "gave the State Co-ordinator extraordinary powers to issue directions such as lockdowns, capacity restrictions and quarantine orders as the state sought to contain the spread of the virus." [1] The emergency could be lifted because on the same day the SA government passed amendments to the Public Health Act (2011) adding in "Part 11A - COVID-19 arrangements" which now provides these law makers the power to impose COVID-19 restrictions and rules upon South Australians with full "crown immunity". [2] "Cabinet’s Emergency Management Council (EMC) was informed [by whom?] it was now safe for Police Commissioner Grant Stevens to remove the pandemic laws ending his role overseeing the state’s COVID response." [Cabinet's EMC for 2020] "We must remember that the lifting of the Major Emergency Declaration does not mean the pandemic is over. We cannot be complacent. We must maintain vigilance to protect our community – that means..> READ MORE

CDC confirms first person-to-person spread of 2019-nCoV

On January 30, 2020 the CDC confirmed that the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) had spread from an infected person [woman from Chicago] to a house hold member [husband], representing the first instance of person-to-person transmission in the US, involving someone who had not traveled to China.  He is the 6th case in the US. [1, 2] "Previously, all confirmed U.S. cases had been associated with travel to Wuhan, China," this latest case has no history of travel to Wuhan, "but shared a household with the patient diagnosed with 2019-nCoV infection on January 21, 2020." "Officials warned that the case of human-to-human transmission indicated that the coronavirus was a “very serious public health situation.”

China’s CDC director “confirms” seafood market animal as source of SARS-CoV-2

According to China media, on January 23, 2020 at a government briefing on the coronavirus outbreak the Director of the Chinese CDC, Gao Fu stated about the virus origin: "We have confirmed it was transmitted via wild animals illegally sold at a seafood market in Wuhan. At first, it was spread from animals to humans. However, the virus has since been mutating and has become adaptive to its host. Human-to-human transmission has occurred, and there has been some community transmission. That is to say, it has gone through three stages." No evidence is provided as to which specific zoonotic source, wild animal(s) that is. In the weeks following this proclamation the media, public health and even scientists around the world  used this claim to begin reporting about the threat of animal to human (zoonotic) diseases from seafood markets, such as Australia's 60 Minutes. On March 26, 2020 in a report the WHO were unable to identify the origin of the virus, only environmental samples taken at the seafood market were positive for SARS-CoV-2, no animal. By mid-2021, after 18 months and almost 3 million viruses sequenced in Hubei, China and world wide, the WHO investigation were unable to find a..> READ MORE

China first aware of “viral pneumonia”

According to a Chinese government White Paper published on June 7, 2020 titled "Fighting Covid-19 China in Action", "China's fight against the epidemic" began on December 27, 2019 and was then recognised as a "Public Health Emergency." [1, 2, 3] On December 27, 2019 Zhang Jixian, a doctor from Hubei Provincial Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, reported cases of pneumonia of unknown cause to the Wuhan Jianghan Center for Disease Prevention and Control, China's heath authority."  Investigations concluded "they were cases of a viral pneumonia". According to South China Morning Post [5] the doctor told China's health authorities that the disease was caused by a new coronavirus. "By the final day of 2019, the number of confirmed cases had risen to 266, On the first day of 2020 it stood at 381."..."As late as January 11, Wuhan's health authorities were still claiming there were just 41 confirmed cases." [5] Some additional responses reported in the white paper by China: From Jan 3 China began to regularly update the WHO On Jan 4, the "head of China CDC [George Gao Fu] held a telephone conversation with the director of the US CDC [Robert Redfield] On Jan 5: With now..> READ MORE

Study: asymptomatic cases NOT the driver of SARS-CoV-2 spread

A study published November 20, 2020 of a city-wide, 19 day, mass PCR screening programme of nearly 10 million residents in Wuhan, China in the post-lockdown period from May 14, 2020 (Alpha variant), shows there "were no positive tests amongst 1,174 close contacts of [the 300] asymptomatic cases." Meaning those who have no symptoms but return a positive PCR result (asymptomatic) did not spread virus to close contacts. Wuhan was under strict lockdown measures from January 23, 2020 until April 8, 2020.  Lockdown was used to stop the virus spread, but mostly because "on of China's top expert" there were "super spreaders".  Following lockdown, "the COVID-19 epidemic was generally under control in China, and the whole country has progressed into a post-lockdown phase." A systematic review published December 2020 showed asymptomatic spread was not a driver of the pandemic. [2] In May 2022 published a systematic review of nearly 30,000 people over 42 countries has found asymptomatic carriers are about 68% less likely to pass the virus on compared to those with symptoms. [1] The "symptoms" that can be classified as COVID-19 have undergone several changes over the course of the pandemic, initially being "a high temperature, a cough and..> READ MORE

NIH COVID-19 treatment guidelines – “do nothing”

First archived April 21, 2020, the US National Institute of Health (NIH) publish their first set of Treatment Guidelines intended "to inform clinicians how to care for patients with COVID-19." The recommendations according to them are based on scientific evidence and expert opinion, based on the strength and quality of the evidence. [1] The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel included members were appointed by the co-chairs, of which many disclosed affiliations with Gilead, the maker of failed Ebola anti-viral drug remdesivir, a clear conflict of interest. "The Panel does not recommend the use of any agents for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) against SARS-CoV-2 infection outside of the setting of a clinical trial". "The Panel recommends ...no specific treatment for persons with suspected or confirmed asymptomatic or presymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection" For management of all illness: "At present, no drug has been proven to be safe and effective for treating COVID-19. There are insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of any antiviral or immunomodulatory therapy in patients with COVID-19 who have mild, moderate, severe, or critical illness." [2] As "evidence" came to hand therapeutics were added to the guidelines. Frontline doctors believed that no early treatment was inhumane, so they..> READ MORE
