In a recent interview with journalist Greg Hunter, Dr. Pierre Kory of the Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance stated that during the omicron variant phase last December, there was also a strain of Delta that was ‘brutal.’
While he said he has always advocated a multi-therapeutic approach, he is probably best known for talking about the anti-parasite drug ivermectin, widely claimed to be merely a veterinary drug to deworm horses.

Nicholas Wade has written for Science, Nature, The New York Times, and now the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. The origin of SARS-Cov-2 — a topic Wade pinpointed with the accuracy of a laser and the density of a schematic — is a perfect fit for the Bulletin, which was founded after Hiroshima and Nagasaki to monitor existential threats to humanity and the planet.
In his tome, “The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?” Wade demonstrated that the “wet market” theory has still not been proven, and that the possibility that SARS2 instead escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is not a conspiracy theory — as asserted vigorously during the last 18 months — but a possible result of the deliberate enhancement of a bat coronavirus in the very same city.. See “Ignore the conspiracy theories: scientists know Covid-19 wasn't created in a lab,” by Peter Daszak, president of Eco Health Alliance.
California reached 1 million cases of the virus today, November 12, 2020. And according to most of the national media, things are getting out of control -- again. It's like Joe Biden's long dark winter was a prophecy!
Wait a minute ... let's zoom in on the details. We examine California first. And while we know things can crumble quickly with a contagious disease, the important thing is that intensive care admissions are not spiking. In fact they're quite low. Daily deaths from the virus are at the lowest they've ever been since the pandemic began, L.A. Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer was quoted as saying in the 16th paragraph of the Los Angeles Times article.
But she still cautions we're teetering on the edge of disaster, and what we do over Thanksgiving will have a lot to do with the outcome.
15th paragraph: "“While we’ve made impressive strides in caring for people who are ill with the virus, this much of an increase in cases may very well result in tremendous suffering and tragic deaths down the road,” Ferrer said.

Evaluating the quantity and news treatment of political violence can be a tedious business, if you do it right. The more information you gather, the more you realize that while ordinary citizens have bias, news outlets can magnify that bias simply by omitting details — either through being short-staffed, biased themselves, or not trained in thorough and fair reporting.
It’s impossible, however, when comparing the torching of political signs at farms in both Massachusetts and California, not to notice that one suspect is being held without bail (the one who torched the Democrat display), and the other is (or others are) still on the loose after doing the dirty deed of torching the Trump display twice!
On September 17, 1849, Harriet traveled the Underground Railroad via a series of safe houses, and made it to Pennsylvania. She later observed:
When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven.
STAFF REPORTS
Zero Californians below age 17 have died due to Covid 19. Seventy-five percent of all of the state’s Covid deaths involve patients over 65 years old. And 46% of those deaths occurred in skilled nursing facilities. Statewide, resident Covid deaths from these facilities account for 34 percent of all California deaths as of August 9, 2020, according to the California Department of Public Health..
A skilled nursing facility is an inpatient center for rehabilitation and therapy, as opposed to a senior center which provides 24/7 residential care for those who can no longer care for themselves.
A retrospective, peer-reviewed study by the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit found that hospitalized Covid-19 patients who received the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine early in their stay were half as likely to die as the control group, the nonprofit hospital announced Thursday. The study’s author, Dr. Marcus Zervos, attributed the results to the timing of patients receiving HCQ.
The Ford press release stated:
“In a large-scale retrospective analysis of 2,541 patients hospitalized between March 10 and May 2, 2020, across the system’s six hospitals, the study found 13% of those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone died compared to 26.4% not treated with hydroxychloroquine. None of the patients had documented serious heart abnormalities; however, patients were monitored for a heart condition routinely pointed to as a reason to avoid the drug as a treatment for COVID-19.”

A rule adopted March 20 by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy restricting the prescribing of anti-malaria and lupus drug hydroxychloroquine has been reversed, after a Dallas physician gained national attention for her difficulty in prescribing the drug for her Covid-19 patients.
“I have patients that recovered within 48 hours,” Dr. Lozano told fellow protesters May 9 at the “Set Texas Free” event in Dallas. She went on to describe how CVS pharmacy was refusing to fill her prescriptions.
The rule, which applied to chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, prohibited the dispensing of the medication without a written diagnosis “consistent with the evidence for its use.” Further, it limited prescriptions to a 14-day supply and required “no refills,” according to the taxpayer watchdog site Texas Scorecard.
An NYU study that involved 100 mg of zinc sulfate added to hydroxychloroquine, shows that people given that combo, with azithromycin, are 45 percent less likely to die from Covid-19, 46 percent less likely to be transferred to intensive care, and 38 percent likely to be put on a ventilator. But once a patient is transferred to intensive care, the odds of survival go way down even with the HCQ cocktail.
Spectrum's 24-hour New York City cable channel, NY-1, has been one of the few outlets following hydroxychloroquine (two articles so far on the Langone trials). And more studies will be coming out of NYU — including double-blind and randomized, as well as the University of South Dakota, and Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.
According to our correspondent Jim Scarlett, the feeling was peaceful — and electric.
“The energy was electric, positive and very upbeat,” he reported.
Although some news outlets tried to forecast the event as a white nationalist rally, or having the potential to be another “Unite the Right” as occurred in Charlottesville (that fateful day in August 2017), it appears that this time Antifa activists stayed away, and the presence of not just a few African-American gun rights activists dispelled the divisive prediction.

Back to Facts correspondent Bob Crosby went on location in Toledo, Ohio, to the first Trump rally of 2020, as people line up Thursday Jan. 9, 2020, to go in to the 8,000-seat Huntington Center. A ticket (which is free) doesn't guarantee that you'll be seated inside, Crosby told us.
JERSEY CITY, N.J. — The man and woman who went on a rampage Tuesday may have been targeting a Yeshiva that shared the building with the deli where they killed the owner’s wife, an employee and a customer., the mayor said.
David N. Anderson, 47, an Army veteran, and Francine Graham, 50, maybe have been targeting the 50 children at the school, said the mayor and director of public safety as reported in NJ.com.
Earlier they shot police Det. Joseph Seals in Bayview Cemetery, and are suspected of killing a man in Bayonne, N.J., before that.
The hours-long stand-off ended in the deaths of both shooters, police said.

A reporter and founding board member for news web site The Hill has posted on Scribd an affidavit signed Sept. 4, 2019, by former Chief Prosecutor Viktor Shokin of Ukraine, stating the details of his departure from the top cop position in April 2016 after pressure from then-president Joe Biden. John Solomon posted the document on Scribd.
In it, Shokin details meddling by the United States into Ukraine’s justice system, specifically trying to prevent a Ukrainian oligarch from returning home as well as pressuring then-President Petro Poroshenko to fire his former ally on false pretenses.
By contrast, a reporter for the Washington Post was able to run across Shokin’s replacement at a hotel in Kyiv. Yuriy Lutsenko’s interview yielded the enlightening headline: “Former Ukraine prosecutor says Hunter Biden ‘did not violate anything.’ “ The article reveals that Lutsenko actually met with Trump attorney and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani in New York City in January while on vacation with his son, he reportedly told the Post. He had previously “cast doubt” on the younger Biden’s actions in Ukraine, stated the Post today, citing no sources.

Photo: In the film "Raiders of the Lost Ark," once Indiana Jones brings the Ark of the Covenant to America, the U.S. government locks it away in a crate marked "top secret." When Jones asks his government handler what will happen to it, the man says, "We've got top men working on it right now." "Who?" Jones demands. "Top men," he replies.
Top secret. That is the description we've been hearing from the top men running our counterintelligence investigations. "I'm sorry, that's classified." It's gotten to the point where everything is classified, and very little makes sense. Now It seems that Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee, led by co-chair Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), are ignoring warnings from the Department of Justice and Democrats, and are getting ready to vote to release some secrets about top men that may be potentially damaging to their reputation and the procedures they followed (or lack thereof).
