Backward political good-timers in Davos reiterated: “To achieve peace, Russia must lose”. None of them gets it that a nuclear power’s loss of a conventional war can lead to a nuclear one. Nuclear powers haven’t been defeated in major conflicts crucial for their destiny

NIH pushed to rule out that COVID originated in lab in favor of animal-origin theory, emails show
Collins, who has since retired, even referenced the paper in a blog post on the NIH website shortly after it was published.
Bureaucrats at the National Institutes of Health, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and agency director Dr. Francis Collins, supported a paper arguing that COVID originated naturally even though not all of the paper's authors initially agreed with the theory and one researcher even said the group was "trying to disprove any type of lab theory," according to emails.
The March 2020 paper, "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2," concluded that "evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 is not a purposefully manipulated virus" and "we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible." The work went on to become one of the most-read science articles ever.
Collins, who has since retired, even referenced the paper in a blog post on the NIH website shortly after it was published.
Emails published Thursday by The Intercept and The Nation after a FOIA lawsuit show that not all of the paper's authors supported its publication or the theory that the virus had natural origins.
Having a debate about accusations that COVID was released by humans would "unnecessarily distract top researchers" and "do unnecessary harm to science in general," virologist Ron Fouchier wrote in a Feb. 2, 2020, email chain including Fauci, Collins and other scientists. "At present, the arguments that nCoV-2019 could have emerged from an animal source is much stronger than other possibilities."
That same day, Collins said the arguments are making him come "around to the view that a natural origin is more likely."
In an email chain from Feb. 8, 2020, to Collins and other scientists, virologist Kristian Andersen, one of the paper's authors, wrote: "Our main work over the last couple of weeks has been focused on trying to disprove any type of lab theory, but we are at a crossroad where the scientific evidence isn't conclusive enough to say that we have high confidence in any of the three main theories considered."
Andersen was against publishing anything about COVID's origins at this time due to a lack of data.

Utah State Senator Suffers Apparent Medical Emergency During Vote on Transgender Youth
On Thursday, the Utah Senate halted debate on several bills affecting transgender youth due to a medical issue experienced by Senator Daniel Thatcher (R-West Valley City).
The incident occurred shortly after a vote to move Senate Bill 16, which aims to prohibit gender-affirming surgeries for individuals under 18 years of age, to the full Senate.
Senator Thatcher, who is recovering from a stroke, was attended to on the chamber floor by several individuals.
After a brief pause, Thatcher remained on the floor and told fellow members, “I’m fine.”

Big Tech Strikes Again: Vimeo Cancels The Wellness Company’s Account After Episode On Ivermectin
Although the pandemic is behind us, Big Tech is still censoring health information from the public.
The video hosting company Vimeo recently deleted the channel of The Wellness Company.
The Wellness Company is a startup with a “Freedom From Pharma” program that provides access to doctors and pharmacies that aren’t afraid to provide treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (plus, Gateway Pundit benefits when you subscribe through this link or the links below).
In fact, it was a video on ivermectin that caused the deletion, according to The Wellness Company.
Chris Alexander of The Wellness Company said:
“Vimeo banned our account on the basis of an interview with Jen VanDeWater, a licensed pharmacist who runs our Freedom from Pharma program, about the safety and utility of Ivermectin.
“Vimeo has allowed pro-vaccination voices to post video after video that have been riddled with misinformation, disinformation and outright lies. Vimeo isn’t holding any of these people accountable and none of these accounts are being suspended or permanently banned.
“The actions of Vimeo are a reminder of why it is so important for conservatives and freedom loving Americans to build parallel systems. We can no longer rely on the compromised systems of the establishment – and that is exactly why we founded The Wellness Company.
“Nothing is more critical than healthcare and no system has been more exposed over the last three years than our healthcare system. Every American who cares about the truth and who cares about their health should join us!”

Bank of America Customers Report “Disappeared” Money From Accounts Due To Zelle Processing Issue
Bank of America came under fire after users said that money was missing from their bank accounts.
Multiple customers went public with the fact that their money was missing and they couldn’t get ahold of Bank of America.
ABC 13 reported:
Some Bank of America customers said money is missing from their accounts, including funds from Zelle deposits and transactions.
“I was surprised, like, whoa,” Garcia said. “So I checked my transactions. I had, like, 15 different Zelle transactions. That was, like, a red flag for me right there because I don’t remember doing all that in one day.”
He says almost $700 went missing from his account. He called customer service with no luck getting a representative.
Bank of America acknowledged the issue but said it has been fixed.
Zelle said that the issues had nothing to do with “any issues with the Zelle Network.”
Fox Business reported:
Bank of America acknowledged that there was a problem with processing Zelle transactions, but said that it was resolved later on Wednesday.
“We did have an issue where there was a delay in posting Zelle transactions. It was resolved earlier today, so that all the transactions are showing in people’s accounts,” Bill Halldin, a spokesperson for Bank of America, told FOX Business.
Zelle, a peer-to-peer payment processor that is available through more than 1,700 financial institutions, said that the “issue was not the result of any issues with the Zelle Network.”
“We understand that a Zelle Network financial institution may have experienced issues processing some of their customers’ Zelle transactions, which has now been resolved,” a Zelle spokesperson told FOX Business.

Al Gore Attempts Own 'Greta Moment' In Unhinged Davos Rant: "Equivalent Of 600,000 Hiroshima Bombs Daily"
Al Gore is testing out his performative Greta mode at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week. The former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate who as early as the 1990's was dubbed in the pages of The Washington Post as "very boring" and as having a "naturally stiff, wooden persona" momentarily (and very awkwardly) tried to go climate activist beast mode during a Q&A panel.
His attempt this week to pull off a "Greta moment" and shed his notorious stiffness resulted in an unhinged rant wherein he claimed that carbon emissions and greenhouses gases are trapping "as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth."
https://youtu.be/rfAYLSQIxTI
That's right, you heard him correctly… six-hundred-thousand Hiroshima bombs every single day - according to his bizarre rant, which he further said is "boiling the oceans" and creating "rain bombs" and "atmospheric rivers" resulting in millions of "climate refugees".
"Climate refugees are expected to reach one billion in this century"… he said, before turning to the "xenophobia" somehow unleashed on the world in the process due to the "Hiroshima bombs".
