Today I released an exclusive interview with Dr. Richard Ebright, the Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University and Laboratory Director at the Waksman Institute of Microbiology.
In the interview, Ebright sounds off about how Dr. Anthony Fauci handled questions from Sen. Rand Paul when he denied that the NIH helped fund gain of function research.
Ebright told me exclusively for my interview:
“It is plausible Fauci was unaware of the content of the EcoHealth/WIV grant proposals and progress reports before February 2020. But it is not plausible Fauci was unaware of the content of the EcoHealth/WIV proposals and progress reports after February 2020. Fauci lied - knowingly, willfully and brazenly - in his two exchanges with [Sen. Rand] Paul.”
With Ebright’s confirmation of what many of us already knew, it had me thinking back about how quickly the lab leak theory - once written off as “conspiracy” - turned out to be vastly different than what the mainstream media narrative wanted to portray it as. In fact, I did a whole podcast on it called “Question the Answers”, which you can listen to for free here:
Now, today’s interview has left me wondering what part of the Covid narrative could be next to perform a full 180 degree turn.
What I want to know from my readers: which part of the narrative do you think will fall apart next? What is the lowest hanging fruit?
Will it be vaccine efficacy/safety related?
Could it be the revelation that natural immunity is more robust than the vaccine?
Could it have to do with the statistics on hospitalizations in the U.S. being misleading?
Are their more wrenches in the gears of the lab leak theory coming?

Masks in schools is BS and the next narrative that needs to go down. If we want to be rational, N95s are available these days and they actually work (it should destroy the “your mask protects me” nonsense). Schools could provide those to parents that want their kids masked and everyone else can be free.
Also, at this point anyone wearing a cloth or paper mask in public is doing so as a fashion statement. If they were concerned about safety they’d be wearing a N95. (I live in a blue area where lots of people are masked and vaccinated and I see less than 1 out of 100 with an N95 (same day delivery from Amazon!).
Problem with an N95 is they only work if they are fitted properly. Good luck finding an N95 to fit a child’s face and seal properly. I work in the occ health and safety field. If an employee is required to wear and N95 at work- they need a medical evaluation, fit testing and training. But I guess everyone else can just slap one on and be good.
For my lizard brain's sake, I want to clarify what your last article seems to be alluding to: which is to say that patients are being "admitted" for covid, but showed up in the ER for some other reason altogether? I heard Zuby say something similar where the NHS numbers in the UK are totally thrown off because the NHS counted a covid infection/death if they tested positive for covid in the past 28 days. How do we get hold of a pandemic if we can't be honest with our metrics?
Everything about COVID is just business as usual. GoF research illegal in the US? Outsource it to China just like Nike and Apple do with their slave-labor factories. Try out safe and effective off-label drugs? Oh hell no--we got $Billions to rake in here. Sign every last fucking soul up for our immune-system-as-a-service subscription plan. To hell with the longitudinal data--burn the control group. Vaccinate every last motherfucker who received a placebo shot in the pre-market trials ASAP. Sure we know what we are doing is unethical. So what? 10 years from now we'll be ordered to give 10% of our ill-gotten gains back to some restitution fund and we'll move on to the next big thing. Worked for the Sacklers. Ho-hum. Business as usual. But Why? Fuck em!, that's why! Moral Hazard baby!
Yep. Moral hazard created by the shielding of big pharma liability. If we did away with that liability shield, I bet these “vaccines” would be pulled in short order.
One of the initial narrative pieces that needs to fall apart, but I don't know that it will is that COVID is similar to or slightly more deadly than the flu. Both the case count and death count the CDC uses for the flu are statistical bullshit. I wrote the below as part of a larger email to a bunch of friends and family way back in April of 2020 (all data is for the 18/19 flu season):
Number of Cases
the CDC estimates the number of flu cases in the ’18-’19 flu season to have been 35.5MM. Was that actual number of lab confirmed cases - absolutely not. It was a statistical model output. For comparison, the total Public Health and Clinical Lab reported cases of flu was 272,593 (so statistical model to real world is different by a factor of 100). And the coronavirus is supposedly much more infectious than common flu, so I would expect total cases (if we’re comparing apples to apples) to be of a similar magnitude. You aren’t going to see that done though, because the virus is new, and reporting really high numbers of cases undermines the narrative of this being a scary threat that justifies the autocratic measures being taken.
Deaths
For #2, the CDC uses a modeled number for the total flu-related deaths as well. Why? The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) mortality surveillance has actual mortality numbers associated with pneumonia and influenze (P&I mortality). That number is over 85,000 vs the CDS’s “estimate” (which goes into the death rate) of 34,200. Using real world death numbers vs the model blows their death rate up by 2.6X!!!! Moreover, if I pull all of that data going back to 2014, the average DAILY death rate from P&I mortality is 465. The TOTAL USA DEATHS FROM CORONAVIRUS TO DATE IS 737. Even if you multiply that by 100, that’s still below the average numbers of death from P&I each year.
Maybe, just maybe, there will be an honest revelation that the COVID "vaccines" aren't vaccines in the sense of using deactivated/weakened virus to boost our immune systems. Instead the COVID "vaccines" target one particular element of the virus to prevent it from attaching to our cells. Geert Vanden Bossche DVM may be a great podcast guest as he could provide credentialed insight to the COVID "vaccines."
If we had a serious government the focus would be on finding the true origins of the virus, and letting the chips fall where they may. I can think of zero good reasons why the US Congress along with relevant government agencies are not pursuing the origins relentlessly until they have answers. Instead this is apparently the best they can do: https://news.yahoo.com/coronavirus-origins-us-intelligence-report-113539957.html
It seems that whenever the false narrative surrounding covid begins to collapse, TPTB ramp up the rhetoric and push the poisonous injections even harder. It's all about the money; it's always all about the money. In this case, also, it's about totalitarian control over the whole population of the world (after suitable population reductions caused by the "vaccines") so we cannot spend a dime, travel out of bounds, meet with friends, without "them" knowing about it and, in case you haven't been a good person, deleting your digital currency at the click of a mouse if you don't act as a good citizen. Welcome to your new dystopian existence, courtesy of the ultra-wealthy, ultra-powerful cabal of sick minded "elites."
From listening to lots of alternative perspectives on covid, there are two areas that could really impact the narrative for covid. The first is the revelation that covid has been treatable by existing anticoagulant, antiviral and hydrocortisone drugs to prevent complications and death—- much more than just HCQ and Ivermectin. If this is the case, why didn’t doctors treat patients early and if there were treatments, why were they shunned to push an emergency use vaccine? Interestingly, the PCR test, which was never supposed to be a diagnostic test according to inventor, was run by all the labs in the world at 35-40 cycles, not the recommended 20-30 cycles, when everyone knew 35-40 cycles would create huge numbers of false positives. Strange—- very strange since this assumes all the lab managers in the world are incompetent—- not remotely possible.
The second covid narrative comes when the VAERS numbers can no longer be disputed or covered up. VAERS is showing 1,000’s of deaths and 10,000’s of injuries for covid vaccines. If these numbers from VAERS numbers are true and treatments for covid were available, why were the vaccines pushed by most of the governments of world and most medical systems given high level of deaths and available treatments? No wonder so many people do not trust the government on covid vaccine.
There's much beating around the bush here. The big question is Why is gain of function research done, why is such research shared between US and China labs? What about the gain of function research in other labs around the world, at Fort Detrick for instance. Can we blow the lid on this top-secret dangerous science? If it is done to protect us from epidemics as I believe they will say, we must nail them for having been a total failure in that project. Incidentally, Fauci would seem to be the go-to person for these answers, if he can ever be pressed on the point, having been more or less in on these projects over 5 administrations. He's really sort of the J. Edgar Hoover of bio-terror, is he not?
IMO, the lowest hanging fruit is the missing details around hospitalizations and deaths. Mainly, co-morbidity contributors. Some of the numbers being tossed around in terms of the number of patients that are suffering from obesity and other broad-based health markers is significant. There has been a story going around for the majority of the pandemic that medicare/medicade reimbursements might be higher for COVID patients than other health issues. I don't know if that's a local state by state issue or a federal issue. But the incentives in place to skew the real reporting of cases and deaths by county seem to be questionable... at best. While this has been talked about on the fringes, I think we'll see something more substantial come out of this just as soon as someone makes a significant FOIA request that pertains to it.
Then there's the fraudulent PCR test to artificially inflate the case count. And the fraud of the term "case" itself. Historically, a patient would need to present with symptoms before being called a case; but some time in 2020 that changed to calling every positive PCR test a "case" whether symptoms are present or not.
As to the original question as to which narrative falls apart next, I think it'll be the idea that cloth & surgical masks make any difference in the spread. A recent University of Waterloo study showed they block, at most, 10% of virus particles. Many state gov'ts and school boards aren't curious enough to look at the overwhelming data: https://twitter.com/ianmSC
After that, hopefully this "pandemic of the unvaccinated" lie will be the next to fall.
My guess is that the narrative around natural immunity not counting for anything is the next domino to fall. Robert Malone linked to this editorial in BMJ https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n2101/rr-0 which I think gives a good read on the temperature out there in the world of medicine. I'd love to see someone dismantle the 90% of hospitalizations are the unvaccinated narrative though. It seems like that's all I ever hear about any more.
I've seen that "pandemic of the unvaccinated" narrative torn apart somewhere else (maybe on LewRockwell.com). Long story short, the CDC is using statistical framing to create the result they want by looking at hospitalizations from January - May of this year. The vaccine had just been released, wasn't widely distributed yet, and wasn't available to all who wanted it. In January, something like 3% of people were vaccinated up to around 35/40% in May, so of course the "majority" of people hospitalized would be unvaccinated because the population at large was unvaccinated. They still refuse to actually reference data in policy decisions or press releases from post-May of this year. Likely because it will show that the vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths are in the vaccinated population.
Masks in schools is BS and the next narrative that needs to go down. If we want to be rational, N95s are available these days and they actually work (it should destroy the “your mask protects me” nonsense).

TPTB don’t have time for honesty. Instead, the CDC simply updated the definition of “vaccine” to include these mRNA gene therapy shots from hell.
Yeah, I've enjoyed his thoughts on things and have reached out to him. Thank you.

Regarding incentives to skew the statistics....
It has been reported that hospitals get outsized reimbursements when having covid-positive patients, placing covid patients on ventilators, and reporting deaths as covid-related: https://fee.org/articles/physicians-say-hospitals-are-pressuring-er-docs-to-list-covid-19-on-death-certificates-here-s-why/
