WHO chief scientist reveals key Covid blunder

The outgoing chief scientist of the World Health Organization (WHO) admitted on Wednesday that the body should have warned the public that Covid-19 can be transmitted through aerosols “much earlier” than it did.

Speaking to the Science Insider, Soumya Swaminathan, who announced her resignation from her post last week, said the agency made a mistake when it did not label the coronavirus as airborne based on the available evidence earlier, adding that “it is something that has cost the organization.”

She noted that the WHO “did talk about all the methods, including ventilation and masking” that could thwart the spread of the disease. “But at the same time, we were not forcefully saying: ‘This is an airborne virus.’ I regret that we didn’t do this much, much earlier.”

Swaminathan explained that “a mixture of things” was behind this miscalculation, adding that she was “very new” in the role of chief scientist and her job “had not been defined.”

“What happens at WHO is that the technical departments do the guidelines, at the science division we just set the norms of how to do guidelines. So it was not my role and neither did anyone ask me to get involved at that stage,” she noted, adding that the WHO’s response paradigm is based on the flu, which is different from Covid-19.

Early in the pandemic, which started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, the WHO categorically stated that Covid-19 “is NOT airborne.” In a tweet from late March 2020, the agency insisted that “the coronavirus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.”

Not until October 2020 did the WHO declare that aerosol transmission could occur “in specific settings,” including crowded and inadequately ventilated indoor spaces where people spend long periods of time together. It took the organization another six months to officially recognize that harmful aerosols can stay suspended in the air or travel long distances.

Swaminathan, an Indian pediatrician, said she intends to continue working in the sphere of health at the national level. Her resignation comes as half of the WHO’s 16-member senior leadership is expected to step down in the most serious personnel overhaul for the international body since 2019.

Biden Covid Czar: “God Gave you Two Arms” to Get your Covid and Flu Shot

It’s a cult.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Joe Biden’s Covid Czar, Dr. Ashish Jha, pushed for two annual shots during a briefing last September – one for Covid and one for the flu.

The Covid cultists are trying to “normalize” the idea of yearly Covid shots.

Soon Americans will be forced and coerced into taking a yearly Covid jab and yearly flu shot.

In fact, Dr. Jha said this is why God gave us two arms.

“I really believe this is why God gave us two arms — one for the flu shot and the other one for the COVID shot!” Jha said on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Dr. Jha urged the public to receive both the COVID shot and flu shot, adding, “That’s why God gave you two arms.”

“…but it’s going to take all of us to make that happen. So please don’t wait. Get your COVID shot. Get your flu shot. That’s why God gave you two arms and one in each arm if you want. Go to vaccines.gov, and let’s do everything we all can to protect the American people,” Jha said.

On the same day, Dr. Fauci on Tuesday gave his final Covid briefing before officially retiring.

Fauci is finally stepping down from his post after destroying millions of lives with his Covid policies.

Unbelievable: Researcher Claims Anti-vaxx Groups’ Fear Mongering and Scare Tactics Cause Vaccine-Related Adverse Events Like Blood Clots and Heart Attacks

You can’t make this up.

Just when you thought the Covid-deranged establishment medical community couldn’t lose any more credibility, Raymond D. Palmer, a self-identified mRNA alchemist from Western Australia, admitted that there are serious risks associated with Covid-19 vaccinations, but he blamed the anti-vaxxers for it.

This was first reported by Super Sally and Rebekah Barnett.

According to Palmer’s research, which was published in the NIH National Library of Medicine and the most recent issue of the peer-reviewed journal BioMedicine (Taipei), the adverse reactions to the vaccine are the result of stress brought on by receiving the vaccine.

“Much of this anti-vaccination sentiment could be attributed to the alleged side effects that are perpetuated across social media from anti-vaccination groups,” Palmer stated in his abstract.

“Fear-mongering and misinformation being peddled by people with no scientific training to terrorize people into staying unvaccinated is not just causing people to remain susceptible to viral outbreaks, but could also be causing more side effects seen in the vaccination process,” he continued.

Palmer added that “vasoconstriction and arterial constriction” are both apparent results of the mental stress caused by the fear-mongering and disinformation being pushed by anti-vaxxers.

Vasoconstriction and arterial constriction are what healthcare providers call when the muscles around your blood vessels tighten to make the space inside smaller.

“A mini review of published literature has been conducted and found that mental stress clearly causes vasoconstriction and arterial constriction of the blood vessels. Therefore, if subjects are panicked, concerned, stressed or scared of the vaccination, their arteries will constrict and become smaller in and around the time of receiving the vaccine,” he said.

“This biological mechanism (the constriction of veins, arteries and vessels under mental stress) is the most likely cause for where there has been blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, loss of smell and taste that may have been experienced shortly after vaccine administration,” he added.

“The extreme mental stress of the patient could most likely be attributed to the fear-mongering and scare tactics used by various anti-vaccination groups. This paper does not aim to rule in or out every side effect seen, but it is highly likely that many apparent side effects seen shortly after a subject has received a vaccine could be the result of restricted or congested blood flow from blood vessel or arterial constriction caused by emotional distress or placebo based on fear around vaccines,” Palmer said.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a peer-reviewed study published in the reputable medical journal ‘Nature Communications’ listed “unvaccinated people with a previous infection” as “fully vaccinated.”

How convenient… But unfortunately for the scientists, the study does not hold up to even an ounce of scrutiny, as the propagandist ‘experts’ (or conversely, the expert propagandists) manipulated the data in such an egregious way that it caused heads to explode across the scientific community.

In one such response to the Nature study, Dr. Simon Goddek – a prominent scientist who specializes in biotechnologies and has been a leading critic of the experimental Covid jabs – blasted the bogus findings while lamenting about the demise of his entire profession on Telegram:

“Academia is dead. The peer review process is a joke… I am ashamed to be a scientist. From now on I am calling myself an independent science journalist,” he said.

CRIMINAL: Tax Filing Services Gave Sensitive Financial Information To Facebook

Major tax filing services have betrayed the trust of their customers.

Tax filing services have been giving over sensitive financial information to Facebook.

The information given ranges from names and email addresses to income and filing status information.

This data can be used for advertising.

Major tax filing services such as H&R Block, TaxAct, and TaxSlayer have been quietly transmitting sensitive financial information to Facebook when Americans file their taxes online, The Markup has learned.

The data, sent through widely used code called the Meta Pixel, includes not only information like names and email addresses but often even more detailed information, including data on users’ income, filing status, refund amounts, and dependents’ college scholarship amounts.

The information sent to Facebook can be used by the company to power its advertising algorithms and is gathered regardless of whether the person using the tax filing service has an account on Facebook or other platforms operated by its owner Meta.

Each year, the Internal Revenue Service processes about 150 million individual returns filed electronically, and some of the most widely used e-filing services employ the pixel, The Markup found.

The investigation also found that someone who is affiliated with the businesses is purposefully going through the data and gathering the parameters – the information is not the default Meta Pixel configurations.

Mandi Matlock, a lecturer at Harvard called it “appalling” saying that the information is “being exploited.”

Popsci reported:

A deep dive from The Markup and The Verge published this morning explains in detail how some of the country’s most popular tax prep software makers, including H&R Block, TaxSlayer, and TaxAct, utilized the popular Meta Pixel tracking tool to amass sensitive data including names, email addresses, incomes, refunds, filing statuses, and even dependents’ college scholarship amounts from annual filings. Designed and made freely available by Facebook, the code marks a tiny pixel on participating websites that subsequently sends a host of information regarding people’s digital activity to the Meta. Both Meta and businesses that opt-in benefit from the tracking, because it allows them to amass consumer advertiser profiles while personalizing ads to their supposed tastes. Approximately one-third of the 80,000 most popular websites utilize Meta Pixel (disclosure: PopSci included), and overall tracking cookie ecosystem provides the vast majority of revenue for many companies online.

However, The Markup‘s most recent investigation into tax filing services’ surveillance presents a particularly egregious and invasive example of data harvesting. For one thing, much of the information amassed by the filing companies aren’t default Meta Pixel configurations, meaning that someone affiliated with these businesses is purposefully going into the settings to toggle specific information gathering parameters. For example, pixels embedded by TaxAct and TaxSlayer used something called “automatic advanced matching,” which scans forms for fields potentially containing personally identifiable info like names, phone numbers, and emails, then sends that info to Meta, according to the report. Mandi Matlock, a Harvard Law School lecturer on tax law, told The Markup that its findings reveal taxpayers are “providing some of the most sensitive information that they own, and it’s being exploited,” adding, “This is appalling. It truly is.”

As the report notes, unfortunately the US financial landscape offers very few alternatives for tax filers other than to turn to these third-party companies. The IRS currently only allows free online tax filing through a governmental portal for people earning $73,000 or less per year. While some private services offer similar free filing, they often obfuscate the option to discourage people from selecting them. The combined result leaves many Americans all-but-forced to pay for these filing services, now with the knowledge that much of their most sensitive data may be harvested by tech companies.
