Joondeph: “Trust me, I’m a doctor” doesn’t mean what it used to

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker “Trust me, I’m a doctor” is a humorous expression that suggests one’s opinion should be accepted without question, regardless of whether the person offering the opinion has actual medical expertise or experience. The assumption is that physicians are knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy. At one time, few would have questioned that assumption. In 2013, Rasmussen Reports surveyed American adults and discovered that a significant majority, specifically 81%, trusted their doctor.  Four years later in 2017, that number was even higher, with 93% of patients trusting their regular doctor. A funny thing happened in late 2019 and early 2020. In late 2019, almost no one had ever heard of COVID, coronaviru...

The COvid Chronicles: How fear and force reshaped Colorado

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board How Polis and the powers-that-be permitted the COVID-19 pandemic to pervert Colorado's pioneer spirit It's one of the more ubiquitous storytelling styles in legacy corporate media — anniversary time pegs. In editorial meetings, reporters and editors look at a calendar, see what historic newsy event(s) are upcoming that originally occurred 5, 10, 25 years ago, and put into proper historical perspective said event on the respective anniversary. So, we thought here at Rocky Mountain Voice, with our exploding audience in the evolving media landscape, that we would do the same – bringing a historical spotlight on a topic that impacted all Coloradans, Americans – and just about every human on planet earth.  That topic? The government and m...

Never forget what the lockdowners did to us

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist, Commentary In March 2020, my aunt collapsed with a painful headache and was rushed to the hospital. We would soon learn that the headache was symptomatic of an aggressive form of brain cancer that no surgery or treatment could cure. Within six weeks we buried my beloved aunt and godmother.  Her death was swift and devastating, made all the more painful by the draconian “stay at home” orders that the state of Illinois issued. The blue state, led by the far-left Gov. J.B. Pritzker, was not alone. Lockdown madness was sweeping the nation. Among its first victims were people like my uncle, my cousins, my family — all locked out from seeing our dying loved one in the opening days of her hospitalization. My aunt’s husband of 60 years couldn’t even be a...

Documents: CDC knew within 6 months of outbreak Covid-19 source was Wuhan, China

By Colin Aamot  | The Daily Signal Newly released documents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal early evidence and analysis four years ago in which U.S. government officials indicated that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China. These findings in the CDC documents obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, dating from about six months after the disease’s initial outbreak, are coming to light only now because of the government’s repeated delays in releasing relevant documents through the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. In addition, federal employees’ use of encrypted private messaging applications such as Signal or WhatsApp to evade records-retention requirements under the Federal Records Act has become commonpl...

Kansas sues Pfizer over ‘misrepresentations’ and ‘adverse events’ of COVID-19 vaccine

By Brianna Herlihy  | Fox Business The state of Kansas has filed a lawsuit against pharmaceutical company Pfizer, Inc. for alleged consumer protection violations related to the company's manufacturing of the COVID-19 vaccine, saying the company marketed the shot as "safe" even though it "knew" the vaccine was connected to "serious adverse events."  "Pfizer misled the public that it had a ‘safe and effective’ COVID-19 vaccine," the 69-page lawsuit filed Monday in the District Court of Thomas County alleges. "Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine was safe even though it knew its COVID-19 vaccine was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths. Pfizer concealed this critical safety information from the public,"...

U.S Attorney’s Office in Colorado investigating dozens of fake COVID-19 claims, worth roughly $75 million

By Natalie Chuck | Denver 7 News The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado (USACO) is investigating dozens of COVID-19 fraud cases, worth roughly $75 million. In May, a former Denver hotel and nightclub owner was indicted on four counts of wire fraud related to pandemic loans. According to the USACO, "[Amin] Suliaman sought loan funding for companies that were inoperable at the time of application and for a company that Suliaman had told a bankruptcy court was closed." Denver7 Investigates learned the USACO is investigating "40 to 50" more cases of potential fraud, estimated to be worth more than $75 million in total. READ THE FULL STORY AT DENVER 7 NEWS

What Are NIH Officials Hiding?: Fauci to Testify on America’s Response to COVID-19

By Robert Moffit and Mary McCloskey  | The Daily Signal Expect fireworks. On Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci is scheduled to testify under oath before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic to account for his performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci, former director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared before the select subcommittee earlier this year for a closed-door, 14-hour transcribed interview conducted over two days. Needless to say, congressional investigators have a lot of ground to cover Monday, ranging from Fauci’s advice on mask mandates to his oversight of coronavirus research grants and response to the Chinese origins of the global pandemic.

Miltimore: Sen. Rand Paul exposes the ‘Great Covid Cover-up’

By Jon Miltimore | The Foundation for Economic Education In an explosive new op-ed, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed that at least 15 separate federal agencies knew that attempts to create a COVID-19-like coronavirus were being undertaken at the Wuhan Institute of Virology as early as January 2018. Yet, heads of these agencies did not reveal this information to the public; for years, they actively refused to release information on the project to lawmakers such as Paul, who were attempting to provide congressional oversight. “For years, I have been fighting to obtain records from dozens of federal agencies relating to the origins of COVID-19 and the DEFUSE project,” wrote Paul, who in March revealed he was formally launching a bipartisan investigation into the...

FDA concedes on ‘wonder drug’ Ivermectin, contradicting claim it is just an animal wormer

By Yuhong Dong | The Epoch Times After years of controversy over using ivermectin to fight COVID-19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finally gave in and agreed to remove its social media posts that urge people to stop using the drug. Since 1987, ivermectin has been used to treat human diseases. Doctors are also testing it for cancers outside the COVID-19 spectrum. This contradicts the FDA’s claim that ivermectin is an “animal drug.” The ivermectin controversy is just the tip of the iceberg, revealing a much larger problem. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE EPOCH TIMES
