Trump: ‘Loser’ Infrastructure Bill Makes GOP ‘Look Weak, Foolish, and Dumb’

President Trump released a statement on Wednesday criticizing the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill set to be voted on in the U.S. Senate.

QUICK FACTS:
  • Donald Trump released a statement criticizing the “terrible” infrastructure for being “a continued destruction of our Country.”
  • Trump also took aim at the U.S. border crisis, high crime rates, rising taxes and inflation, and the declining economy.
  • “Don’t do it Republicans,” he warned. “Patriots will never forget! If this deal happens, lots of primaries will be coming your way!”
TRUMP’S FULL STATEMENT:

Hard to believe our Senate Republicans are dealing with the Radical Left Democrats in making a so-called bipartisan bill on “infrastructure,” with our negotiators headed up by SUPER RINO Mitt Romney. This will be a victory for the Biden Administration and Democrats, and will be heavily used in the 2022 election. It is a loser for the USA, a terrible deal, and makes the Republicans look weak, foolish, and dumb. It shouldn’t be done. It sets an easy glidepath for Dems to then get beyond what anyone thought was possible in future legislation. It will be a continued destruction of our Country. Our Borders are horrible, crime is at an all time high, taxes and inflation are going way up, the economy is going way down, and now this. Don’t do it Republicans—Patriots will never forget! If this deal happens, lots of primaries will be coming your way!

Ivermectin ‘Safe,’ ‘Effective’ COVID Treatment: WSJ Op-Ed

A Wall Street Journal op-ed claims the FDA is “attacking a safe, effective drug,” ivermectin, even though the FDA itself certified the medication in 1996.

QUICK FACTS:
  • David Henderson is a research fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and was senior health economist with President Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers. Charles Hooper is president of Objective Insights, a consulting firm with pharmaceutical clients.
  • Henderson and Hooper wrote an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) stating that ivermectin is “a promising Covid treatment and prophylaxis”—meaning ivermectin improves recovery from COVID and prevents against infection—even though the FDA “is denigrating it.”
  • “Any reader would think the FDA was warning against poison pills,” say Henderson and Hooper, but “In fact, the drug is FDA-approved as a safe and effective antiparasitic.”
WHAT THE FDA HAS SAID ABOUT IVERMECTIN:
  • The FDA said earlier this year in a special warning that “you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19,” note Henderson and Hooper.
  • The statement included words and phrases such as “serious harm,” “hospitalized,” “dangerous,” “very dangerous,” “seizures,” “coma and even death,” and “highly toxic.”
WHAT HENDERSON AND HOOPER SAY:
  • “If the FDA were driven by science and evidence, it would give an emergency-use authorization for ivermectin for Covid-19. Instead, the FDA asserts without evidence that ivermectin is dangerous.”
  • “At the bottom of the FDA’s warning against ivermectin is this statement: ‘Meanwhile, effective ways to limit the spread of COVID-19 continue to be to wear your mask, stay at least 6 feet from others who don’t live with you, wash hands frequently, and avoid crowds.’ Is this based on the kinds of double-blind studies that the FDA requires for drug approvals? No.”
ABOUT IVERMECTIN:
  • Ivermectin was developed and marketed by Merck & Co.
  • William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura won the 2015 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for discovering and developing avermectin.
  • Campbell and his team modified avermectin to create ivermectin.
  • Ivermectin is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.
  • A group of 10 doctors calling themselves the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance have said ivermectin is “one of the safest, low-cost, and widely available drugs in the history of medicine.”
  • “Ivermectin fights 21 viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19.”
HOW EFFECTIVE IS IVERMECTIN AGAINST COVID?:
  • “A single dose reduced the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in cells by 99.8% in 24 hours and 99.98% in 48 hours, according to a June 2020 study published in the journal Antiviral Research.”
  • Ivermectin-treated patients tested negative in four days instead of 15, as with the control group.
  • Ivermectin-treated patients also stayed in the hospital nine days on average instead of 15.
  • Ivermectin patients experienced 13.3% mortality compared with 24.5% in the control group.
HOW SAFE IS IVERMECTIN?:
  • “Some 70 clinical trials are evaluating the use of ivermectin for treating Covid-19. The statistically significant evidence suggests that it is safe and works for both treating and preventing the disease,” state Henderson and Hooper.
  • “In 115 patients with Covid-19 who received a single dose of ivermectin, none developed pneumonia or cardiovascular complications.”
  • One study showed that ivermectin has been used safely in pregnant women, children, and infants.
IVERMECTIN PREVENTS INFECTION:
  • A 2020 Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications publication looked at what happened after ivermectin was given to family members of confirmed COVID patients.
  • “Less than 8% became infected, versus 58.4% of those untreated.”
  • “Among 200 healthcare workers and others at high risk of exposure, only 2% of those given ivermectin developed Covid-19. But 10% of the control group did.”

NIH Co-Owns Moderna mRNA Vaccine Patent, Promotes Moderna Vaccines

The National Institutes of Health co-owns the Moderna mRNA COVID vaccine patent, endorses the same vaccine.

QUICK FACTS:
  • National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins said in May “We do have some particular stake in the intellectual property” behind Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine.
  • The NIH and Moderna signed a contract last December stating “mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates [are] developed and jointly owned” by the two parties, reports Axios.
  • Four NIH scientists have filed for a provisional patent application entitled “2019-nCoV vaccine,” according to disclosures in a pending scientific paper, also notes Axios.
  • The NIH also promotes the use of vaccines, as does Director Collins.
THE PATENT:
  • The specific U.S. government patent number is 10,960,070 (better known as the ’070 patent), according to Financial Times.
  • The patent relates to how the spike protein is stabilized in the mRNA vaccine, “a technique that was developed by the NIH’s Vaccine Research Center.”
  • Scientists at the NIH “designed the spike protein molecule that Moderna’s vaccine needed to trigger a human immune response against the virus,” according to The Washington Post.
THE NIH PROMOTES VACCINES:
  • The NIH website says the Moderna mRNA COVID vaccine is “safe and effective” while offering an infographic to educate users on its ingredients (see below).
  • “Vaccines have very high safety standards, and the vaccines available to prevent COVID-19 are no exception,” reads the NIH website. “COVID-19 vaccines are authorized  by the FDA for use only if they have proven safe and effective in a large group of people.”
From the NIH.gov website
A “CONFLICT OF INTEREST”:
  • Dr. Ryan Cole, owner and operator of Cole Diagnostics, claims that the relationship between the NIH and vaccine manufacturers represents a “conflict of interest,” having the “federal government in bed with a vaccine company.”
  • “They don’t want a [non-vaccine] therapy to work because then they can vend their vaccine,” he said.
  • Non-vaccine coronavirus treatments include the use of Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and Remdesivir respectively (here, here, here).
WHAT THE NIH DIRECTOR SAID:
  • “Talking to the companies, I don’t hear any of them say they think this [vaccine] is a money-maker,” Collins said during an interview.
  • “I think they want to recoup their costs and maybe make a tiny percentage of increase of profit over that, like single digits percentage-wise, but that’s it.”
  • “Nobody sees this as a way to make billions of dollars,” he added.
BACKGROUND:
  • In 2005, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published revelations that patients who took part in NIH clinical trials “had no idea” that scientists at the institutes received $8.9 million in royalty payments—benefiting financially—for the use of their discoveries by pharmaceutical companies and device makers.
  • “This information was not made public until the press agency obtained the information after filing a request under the Freedom of Information Act,” notes BMJ.
  • Science Magazine published an article in 2019 revealing that the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) “found that in 2018, 202 of 2064 grantee institutions reported any financial conflicts of interests. A total of 1668 unique grants had at least one conflict. In total, 3978 separate ‘significant financial interests’ were reported, because grants can have more than one investigator, and each investigator can have several types of conflicts.”
  • “About half of these significant financial interests involved researchers holding an equity stake in a company,” the Science piece goes on to say. “One-fourth involved payment for services. Institutions said they could not readily report monetary values for about 45% of reported conflicts, mostly because they involved privately owned equities, the OIG report says. When institutions did tell NIH dollar values of significant financial interests posing conflicts, 85% were less than $100,000 (see graph).”

  • In April 2021, The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) noted “concerns over the fruits of this funding [for U.S. universities] going abroad and undisclosed conflicts of interest.” “U.S. research may be subject to undue foreign influence in cases where a researcher has a foreign conflict of interest,” said the Office.
  • “GAO found that NIH’s policy focuses on financial conflicts of interest but does not specifically address or define non-financial interests, which may include multiple professional appointments,” the publication went on to say. “In the absence of agency-wide policies and definitions on non-financial interests, universities that receive federal grant funding may lack sufficient guidance to identify and manage conflicts appropriately, potentially increasing the risk of undue foreign influence.”

LA Times Columnist Blames ‘Racism’ for Blacks Refusing Vaccine

“[S]ystemic racism” is to blame for the black community having a “deep distrust of the healthcare system, government agencies and most institutions, including legit media organizations,” says Los Angeles Times writer Erika Smith.

QUICK FACTS:
  • Smith’s article describes her frustration with “the people we know who haven’t been vaccinated,” focusing on members of the black community.
  • She says the unvaccinated people in her life are “scared, usually because of some past experience,” adding that a member of her family is “afraid of white doctors” because the family member believes “they were at fault for my grandfather’s death.”
  • Her “cousin also is refusing to roll up her sleeve” and is “convinced that the media narrative has been slanted to eliminate any negative information about the side effects,” a reason Smith is critical of.
  • Smith says that when it comes to the black community refusing to receive the Covid-19 vaccine, she has “no choice but to consider the systemic racism that has long pervaded this country, and how it has resulted in deep distrust of the healthcare system, government agencies and most institutions, including legit media organizations.”
  • Smith also believes “there’s an inherent white privilege in white rage at the unvaccinated.”

Even ‘Vaccinated People’ Might ‘Be Contagious,’ ‘Spread the Virus to Others’: CDC

The CDC is now warning that even those vaccinated against coronavirus might be contagious and must now wear a face covering, signifying their reversal on the topic.

QUICK FACTS:
  • U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky told reporters during a briefing on Tuesday afternoon that coronavirus is transmissible even among the vaccinated.
  • The CDC now says that “fully vaccinated people” need to “begin wearing masks indoors,” according to CNBC.
  • “Some vaccinated people infected with a delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and spread the virus to others,” Walensky said during the press briefing.
  • “Vaccinated individuals continue to represent a very small amount of transmission occurring around the country,” Walensky said.
  • The CDC is now “revers[ing]” its mask guidance, recommending that “everyone in areas with substantial or high levels of transmission—vaccinated or not—wear a mask in public, indoor settings,” according to ABC News.
  • “The public health agency also recommended schools embrace universal masking, departing from guidance released earlier this month that suggested vaccinated students and staff were safe to go without a mask,” notes ABC.
  • National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday defended the CDC’s guidelines reversal over wearing masks, apparently contradicting statements made in the past.
  • “[E]ven though you are vaccinated, when you are in an indoor public setting in an area…then you need to wear a mask even though you are vaccinated,” says Fauci.
TRUMP’S RESPONSE:
  • “We won’t go back. We won’t mask our children,” said President Donald Trump. “(President) Joe Biden and his administration learned nothing from the last year.”
  • “Brave Americans learned how to safely and responsibly live and fight back. Don’t surrender to COVID. Don’t go back! Why do Democrats distrust the science? Don’t let this happen to our children or our country,” he went on to say.
BACKGROUND:
  • The CDC had said in May that “fully vaccinated Americans can return to life without masks,” according to ABC News.
  • “If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic,” Walensky had said at the time. “Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and outdoor activities, large or small, without wearing a mask or physical distancing.”
  • “If you were vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask outside,” said Fauci in a morning interview with CBS’s Gayle King in May.
  • “[T]hose who are vaccinated…can feel safe, be they outdoors or indoors,” Fauci told Axios days later.
  • The studies that prompted the to change their mask guidance for vaccinated persons are not available, a spokesperson told The Epoch Times on Wednesday. “They have not been published yet,” they said.
