Expert warns of "Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever" super virus in China caused by mutations due to mass vaccination
The inventor of modern mRNA vaccines, Dr. Robert Malone, has warned of a new disease spreading across Communist China that appears to be an “Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever” super virus. He warned the audience over the new virus when he appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room, which can be watched on a visual link of the U.S. media The National Pulse.
Dr.
Malone explained that “vaccinating into a pandemic will drive the development
of escape mutants that are resistant to vaccination.” He added that the Chinese
Communist Party’s (CCP) mass vaccination campaign “has mirrored that of the
western world, and has resulted in a perfect storm of environment for
developing a super virus.”

Hemorrhagic fever caused by coronavirus "would be very odd"
He said, “They are using the language that this is a hemorrhagic fever
virus. If that’s the case, then it would be very odd that this is something
that would be caused by a coronavirus. That terminology is usually used for
viruses in the family of Marburg and Ebola.”
Dr Malone continued, “So, this is something that many people have feared, is the development of a rapidly spreading Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever virus but we have not knowledge of whether that is going on here or not.”

Sending athletes to Beijing Winter Olympics would be mad
Dr. Malone stressed that sending athletes to China for the 2022
Olympics would be “madness,” adding that “there’s no question in my mind that
they did not drop the curtain on international travel when they knew that
SARS-Cov-2 was ripping through Wuhan.”
“They left the place open through the end of the Chinese New Year,
when everybody in China travels around, and they let the populace travel to the
United States and the west,” Dr. Malone said.

The world is dealing with CCP the rogue regime
Dr. Malone stressed that the world should not be kind towards the CCP. He continued, “We’re
dealing with a rogue regime that preys on its population, has no ethics, and
yet we have the likes of Blackrock actively engaging with them, and they’re
using your money to do it. They’re using your money through investment funds to
corrupt the world right now and actively engage with the CCP. That must stop.”

CCP media report covid and hamorrhagic fever outbreaks as one epidemic
Since December 2021, covid and hemorrhagic fever have broken out
in Xi’an at the same time but the CCP media has only reported the virus of the epidemic
as “Delta”. The population of Xi’an and the city under its jurisdiction
Xianyang are immediately quarantined for a period of two weeks but Xianyang has
now extended its lockdown measures for an indefinite period as the Beijing Winter
Olympics draws near to prevent spill of epidemic cases over to Beijing and
other cities.

Study: Common cold-produced T cells protect against covid

A study published by Imperial College London on Monday (10 January 2022) found that the human body acquired high levels of T after infection with the common cold coronavirus cells can provide protection against covid, which is expected to provide a reference for the development of second-generation vaccines.
The immune effects acquired after infection with covid are complex. While there is evidence that antibody levels diminish six months after vaccination, T cells are also thought to play an important role in providing protection.
The study, which began in September 2020, looked at the levels of cross-reactive T cells previously developed from the common cold in 52 household contacts of cases who had recently contracted covid, to see if they would contract the disease.
The study found that the 26 people who did not develop the infection had significantly higher levels of T cells than those who were infected.
T cells (T cells) are lymphocytes that play an important role in the immune response. T is the abbreviation for thymus, which is produced in the bone marrow. After "recruit training" in the thymus, they differentiate into different subtypes of effector T cells after maturity, and migrate to the surrounding lymphoid tissue to start work.
Study author Dr Rhia Kundu said, "We found that high levels of pre-existing T cells produced by the body during infection with other human coronaviruses, such as the common cold, protect people from COVID-19 infection. ."
The authors of the study, published in Nature Communications, say the internal proteins of SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) locked by T cells could provide vaccine manufacturers with an alternative target.
Current SARS-CoV-2 (covi) vaccines target the spike protein, which mutates frequently, resulting in variants such as Omicron that evade existing vaccines.
"In contrast, we found much less variation in the internal proteins targeted by protective T cells," said study co-author Professor Ajit Lalvani.
This internal protein is "highly protective" among various SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron.
"Therefore, new vaccines that include these protective internal proteins will induce a broad protective T-cell response that should protect people from current and future SARS-CoV-2 variants," the professor further explained.
The Imperial College study did not mention how long the T cells' protective effect would last.

Pfizer CEO: Not sure if the fourth dose of covi vaccine is needed

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said on 10 January 2022 that he is not sure whether people need to be administered the fourth dose of the covi vaccine, and said a vaccine for the highly contagious Omicron variant would be ready by March 2022.
While the Omicron-driven surge in covid cases has forced some countries to seek another booster dose, early signs suggest that repeat vaccinations may be difficult to roll out, according to Reuters.
"I don't know if a fourth booster shot is needed, it needs to be tested," Bulla told CNN before speaking at the JP Morgan healthcare conference on behalf of Pfizer. (CNBC) said.
His remarks stood in stark contrast to comments by Moderna CEO Stephen Bancel. The latter said last week that people may need another shot in the fall of 2022, as the efficacy of the booster may decline over the next few months.
Pfizer is currently working on a new version of a covi vaccine that could be effective against Omicron and other variants, Bula said.

Tianjin was captured by Omicron and the city was severely locked down, fear that the lockdown would surpass Xi'an
The epidemic in Xi'an, Shenzhen, and Henan in mainland China has not yet subsided, and bad news came from Tianjin, which is next to Beijing: the first local cases of Omicron were found.
According to the Tianjin Health Health Commission, from 6 pm on 7 January to 9 pm on 9 January, a total of 40 positive infections were found in the local area, of which 24 were children aged 5 to 15. Zhang Ying, deputy director of the Tianjin Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a press conference that the outbreak was only discovered in the early morning of 8 January, and the first two cases had no history of living outside Tianjin. It has been circulating for three generations and may have been circulating in the community for some time.
At night of 8 January, the Tianjin authorities issued a notice on "strict control measures and do not leave Tianjin unless necessary"; on 9 January, they issued a notice on "comprehensively strengthening the management of leaving Tianjin", stating that those who want to leave Tianjin must hold a nucleic acid negative certificate within 48 hours and the green code of the health code needs to be approved by the unit or the town, and whoever approves it is responsible. The notice also stated that the passage into Beijing must be strictly controlled.
From 7.00 am on the 9th, a large-scale nucleic acid blitz was launched locally, saying that the testing of 14 million residents would be completed within two days.
Experts Xiaoxu and Qin Peng were interviewed. In the face of the Omicron strain (Covi29), how effective these measures taken by the Tianjin authorities are and whether they are expected to be more severe than Xi'an. They were asked if they have any suggestions/reminders for the local people.

Vaccination rate in CCP China is over 86%
On 6 January 2022, Zhong Nanshan, an expert on epidemic prevention of the Chinese Communist Party, said in an interview with CCP media that the current injection rate of the covi vaccine in China has exceeded 86%, so theoretically it has reached herd immunity. In the face of new strains, he believes that there is still a need for booster shots.

There is no way for the CCP to prevent the epidemic without incurring increasing cost
Tianjin still shouted the slogan of "dynamic clearing" this time. According to the "Hong Kong Economic News Agency" report, Goldman Sachs recently released a report arguing that China has paid a clear economic price for the "zero policy", and this cost is increasing as time goes on.
GDP growth in 2022 could fall to 1.5% if the authorities impose a nationwide lockdown because of Omicron. But switching to "coexistence with the virus" could be even more costly because of China's huge population and the relatively low efficacy of domestic vaccines against Omicron.

Fake folk "peaceful" lockdown atmosphere in Tianjin
When Tianjin is quasi-locked down, except for a few videos of people rushing to buy supplies, there are almost no complaints on the Internet. Residents were asked to line up overnight for nucleic acid testing, and health codes that were not tested at the specified time turned orange. They do not seem to complain about it either.
On the Weibo platform, there is a topic called "Tianjin residents queuing up for nucleic acid testing overnight", and we see that most of the posts say "Tianjin Come on", "Sigh about the speed of Tianjin", "respond to the call" and so on.

The International Olympic Committee defends the CCP again, and the German media does not accept it
A few days ago, IOC President Bach once again defended the CCP in an interview with the German media Welt am Sonntag.
He said that the CCP's implementation of the zero policy means it is rigorous; some measures are too strict, they have already been proposed, and China will correct them.
Regarding the CCP's abuse of human rights, Bach said that the International Olympic Committee does not have the task of assessing the human rights situation outside the Olympic Games, and that is something that the UN Human Rights Council should discuss. He also mentioned his video meeting with Peng Shuai, saying that the most important human right is the "right to personal integrity", and he has made efforts in this regard.
As a result, the Le Monde on Sunday published this interview with the headline: "Mr Bach, are you insulting the intelligence of human beings?"
Bach's remarks are a typical "whitewashing" PR method:
1. Avoid the important and ignore the risks of the epidemic in China and the CCP’s persecution of ethnic minorities.
2. Answering real questions and evading the influence of the Olympic Committee to maintain the universal value of peace and equality.
3. To steal the concept, Peng Shuai's "human rights" is just personal integrity/equality equals online equality?
4. To shirk responsibility, that is, to push the responsibility to the United Nations and the CCP.

The epidemic in CCP China is hard to prevent, continuous measures to fight against covid
While the epidemic in Xi'an has not yet been controlled, new epidemics have also occurred in Henan, Tianjin and other places, and they are intensifying and spreading.
On 8 January 2022, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council of the Communist Party of China announced that the Henan-related epidemic has spread to 9 cities in Henan, Shanghai and Zhejiang. Among them, local community transmission occurred in Zhengzhou, and Xuchang was dominated by a clustered epidemic of a company in Yuzhou. Residents in surrounding communities were infected, and there was a risk of community infection. At present, Yuzhou has been locked down for many days, and 1.2 million people have been asked to "stay at home" and isolate at home but the source of the epidemic is still unknown. Zhengzhou has also tightened control. The city's restaurants have suspended dine-in, and primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, etc. have suspended offline teaching. At the same time, nucleic acid testing has been carried out for all staff.
At the same time, there were local cases of Covi29 infection in Tianjin but the source is still unknown. On the 8th, Tianjin quarantined 75,000 people in an emergency, implemented hierarchical control over the community, and asked citizens to "not leave Tianjin unless necessary." In the early morning of 9 January, the Tianjin authorities issued another emergency notice, and all staff will be tested for nucleic acid from 7 am. In addition, due to concerns about the spread to Beijing, Tianjin and Beijing are currently suspending inter-provincial passenger transport and chartered vehicles; those leaving Tianjin need to hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate and a green health code within 48 hours of verification; the checkpoints entering Beijing have strengthened epidemic prevention inspections, and the itinerary track Including Tianjin City, they must be strictly screened.
As the Beijing Winter Olympics are about to be held, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic in Tianjin has undoubtedly worried the Beijing authorities. Li Hongzhong, secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, emphasized in the video conference to "build a 'moat' for epidemic prevention and control in the capital" and that Tianjin is so aggressive. The Beijing authorities have also asked people in Beijing who have passed through Tianjin since December 23 last year to report immediately and cooperate with prevention and control measures such as health monitoring and nucleic acid testing. People in Beijing do not go to Tianjin unless necessary, and commuters from Beijing and Tianjin are advised to work from home.
With the outbreak of epidemics in nearly 20 provinces in China, it can be said that a new round of epidemics has started again, and the super contagious Omicron virus has spread in Tianjin, Guangzhou, Henan, Hunan and other places, which is really hard for the CCP to guard against. It makes the Chinese people feel more and more troubled. The CCP's performance on the epidemic and vaccines in the past two years has made more and more Chinese sober, and they have recognized at least four phenomenon.

The CCP's policy of "zeroing out" the epidemic is unsustainable and impossible to achieve
At present, CCP China may be the only country in the world that still adheres to the policy of "zeroing out" the CCP virus infection, and this policy is completely in accordance with the instructions of the highest level. In order to achieve this goal, once an infected person is found in an area, it will immediately seal the building, the community, the entire area, and even the city. At the same time, the infected person and the close contact will be taken away for isolation, and all staff will be tested for nucleic acid. This move completely disrupts The normal rhythm of society is completely ignored, even if it causes man-made disasters. Xi'an, Yuzhou, Zhengzhou, and Tianjin, where the epidemic has been exposed recently, are all like this. People in Xi'an have no food to eat, pregnant women and heart patients are refused admission and died of miscarriage, and many people are unemployed, their incomes have fallen, and it is difficult to make a living. This is bad governance. direct consequences.
However, despite such a big fanfare, the final result can only be that the local CCP officials deceive themselves with the so-called "social clearing" in order to keep the black hat. You must know that in the face of a virus that comes and goes without a trace, a virus that is constantly mutating, and a virus that is aimed at the CCP, the CCP’s clearing is completely unrealistic, and it is really looking in the wrong direction.
At the end of July last year, Shanghai doctor Zhang Wenhong publicly stated when the Nanjing epidemic caused a new wave of epidemics across the country, saying that the epidemic will not end in the short term, and it may not end in the long run. As soon as this statement came out, it was supported by many people in the private sector. The number of people who agreed with the idea of coexisting with the virus for a long time, especially the intellectuals, were many. There are also many people who are dissatisfied with the CCP's epidemic prevention policy.
In an interview with the media on 8 November 2021, Guan Yi, a professor of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong and an expert in virology, also advocated coexistence with the virus and opposed the "zero" policy. He said: "If we want to aim at zero, I guess we have no chance, because this virus has already lived for a long time. Like the influenza A virus, whether humans are happy or not, it will be popular among us for a long time. . I found out when I was in Wuhan that this virus has fully adapted to humans, and in English it says 'Fully adapted in human'."
However, while many people and the media at home and abroad supported, Zhang Wenhong also attracted criticism from the party media and the military newspaper. The reason is that the high-level Zhongnanhai did not agree with the judgment of the experts, but believed that there were "hostile forces" taking advantage of this. Disrupting the situation, denying the zero-clearing policy is a "hostile force" attacking Zhongnanhai.
Recently, the video of Zhang Wenhong euphemistically expressing the inadvisability of clearing the virus has been deleted, indicating that so far Beijing's top management is still reluctant to give up the clearing policy. Having to endure all kinds of restrictions on freedom, all kinds of troubles and even humanitarian disasters caused by it, only the disobedient virus has repeatedly violated the above will and ridiculed this policy in its own way.

Vaccines have limited efficacy yet CCP claims vaccines prevent infection, transmission, severe illness and death. In the face of the constantly mutating virus, the effectiveness of the CCP vaccine has been repeatedly questioned
According to CCP state media, more than 1.1 billion people in mainland China have been vaccinated with at least two shots under various coercion by the authorities, and the vaccination rate in Xi'an, which is locked down, is as high as 95%. As for Tianjin's full vaccination rate, it also reached 94%. According to Zhong Nanshan, an expert in the CCP's royal family and propaganda by official media, herd immunity can be established when the population vaccination rate exceeds 80% or more.
Unfortunately, the expert's words are not credible. With such a high vaccination rate, he bowed his head in front of the two mutant viruses. "Vaccines to prevent infection and spread" were once again blocked and slapped in the face, and the so-called herd immunity became a joke. It is said that there are also many critically ill patients in Xi'an. Obviously, there is no necessary connection between vaccinating or not and isolation, closure of the city, and seriousness of infection and transmission. Since vaccines cannot prevent the infection and spread of covi, nor can they prevent severe illness or even death, people not only have to ask: why are they still forced to be vaccinated again and again? Could it be that there are shady interests in it?
If the public still question vaccines emotionally, what do conscientious experts think? In an interview with the media in November last year, Guan Yi put forward three points, one is to advocate antibody testing; the other is to question the quality of vaccines produced by vaccine companies, requiring "vaccine production companies should regularly announce the test results of vaccines"; Viruses coexist and oppose the "zero" policy. The subtext of Guan Yizhi's words is that there is a problem with vaccines, and it is impossible for vaccines to eliminate the virus.
In addition, a Danish study published this week found that fully vaccinated people in families infected with the Omikron variant were just as susceptible to infection as unvaccinated people. The susceptibility rate of individuals vaccinated with the booster shot was about half that of those without the booster shot. Excluding boosters, the vaccine was 57 percent less effective.
Also on 9 January, The National Pulse reported that Dr. Clive Dix, former head of the UK vaccine task force, said that the country's large-scale coronavirus vaccination campaign and endless tracking of "case counts" should end. Dr. Dix conjectured that the original vaccine was an unsuccessful attempt to stop infection and spread.

Side-effects from Sinovac, Sinopharm and other CCP vaccines include leukemia, cancer
Although it is impossible for the CCP to carry out similar research or publicity, from the performance of the CCP’s vaccines, many people who have been vaccinated have reported acute leukemia, cancer, thrombosis, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction and other sequelae, and even death cases. Look, where can people trust the CCP vaccine? The Chinese government opposes antibody testing of vaccinated people and how much trickery is behind it?

The CCP's excessive epidemic prevention has paid a tragic social cost, which is causing social disasters and endangering people's basic rights
The tragic lesson of Wuhan's lockdown in 2020 obviously did not teach the CCP officials a lesson. The brutal closure of Xi'an, in addition to starving a large number of citizens, also caused many man-made disasters. According to online sources, at least five people died not from the epidemic but from the lockdown.
A netizen asked sharply, "How many people died in the lockdown this year in China? How many people died in isolation points? How many died of chronic diseases and their treatment was interrupted? How many died of myocardial infarction and stroke without being able to Entering the hospital? How many people died because they couldn't get a maternity check? How many people died without antipyretics? How many people died from the flu? The world declares: the total number of people who died from the new crown is 0."
In addition, how many companies, businesses, and restaurants have cried bitterly because of the closure of the city and suffered huge losses. How many people have lost their jobs, no income, and their lives are in trouble? The life of the Chinese people at this time is more difficult than before, and these are due to the stupid policies of the CCP and incompetent party officials at all levels. What does the recession of the economy and the hardship of people's survival mean to the CCP regime?
Fourth, the CCP's politics is above everything else and human life. The CCP do not treat the Chinese people as human beings. Therefore, let the Chinese people realize that the CCP is the culprit of all disasters.
Following the "Ten Days of Chang'an" that disclosed Xi'an's predicament, recently, a man named Yang Hai in Xi'an revealed in a video that tens of thousands of residents of Evergrande City on Dazhai Road in Xi'an were blocked with iron wires, with seals on the doors, and no vegetables could come in. Many of the households were almost out of food, and he asked loudly, "What is this for, is it to starve people to death?" He also denounced the government's incompetence and treated the people like animals.
Later, his daughter Emma Yang posted on Twitter: WeChat has blocked the video of her father on his WeChat video account. "The government's epidemic prevention is to lock up the people with barbed wire, regardless of life or death. In your eyes, people's lives are like ants. …"
Yang Hai's words reveal the secret. The CCP, a cold-blooded and cruel political party, says "the people come first", but it has never put the people at heart. In his opinion, power is above everything else, and it doesn't matter how many people die.
If the 70-year bloody history of the CCP is not enough for some Chinese people to see the truth clearly and make some people still have illusions, then the CCP’s actions in epidemic prevention are making more people sober. It is believed that many people from Wuhan, Xi'an, and Zhengzhou... are joining the ranks of spurning the CCP, and how long can the CCP, which has been rebellious and sentenced to death by God, continue to struggle on the road to the end?
