Did Top Docs Just Warn UK Parliament About Deadly Vaccines?!

Did top doctors just warn the UK Parliament about the deadly COVID-19 vaccines, asking for them to be removed from market?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Top Docs Just Warned UK Parliament About Deadly Vaccines!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), claiming / suggesting that it shows top doctors warning the UK Parliament about the deadly COVID-19 vaccines, and asking for them to be removed from market!

Here is an excerpt from the article (archive), which is really long. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Top Doctors Plead For Deadly Covid Jabs To Be Removed From Market In Address To UK Parliament

In video messages played before for the British Parliament on Monday, some of the world’s top doctors issued warnings to the politicians about the deadly Covid-19 jabs that have been pushed on the public.

British MP Andrew Bridgen hosted the event to share with fellow poiticians information that has been censored or withheld by the Big Tech and mainstream media gatekeepers.

Texas cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough delivered a video message to the UK politicians, stating the Covid shots have created alarming increases in excess mortality in America and the UK.

The doctor even suggested data is showing the jabs actually killed more people than the engineered Chinese Covid-19 virus.

“The vaccine is worse than the infection itself in terms of injuring the population,” he asserted, calling on the UK politicians to “do the right thing” by removing the shots from the market and to “do an investigation” into the mRNA “vaccines.”

Truth : Most Of UK Parliament Declined To Join Their Event!

This appears to be yet another MISLEADING article, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : It Was Not UK Parliament Event

Let me start by pointing out that the session COVID-19 vaccines was a small, private event hosted by British MP Andrew Bridgen in a rented room of the Portcullis House.

To raise funds, the U.K. Parliament has allowed companies and individuals to rent certain rooms for private events since January 2014. The session on COVID-19 vaccines was held in the Wilson Room, in Portcullis House, which is part of the Parliamentary estate, but not part of the Houses of Parliament.

On top of that, the meeting / event/ address / debate was short – lasting just 2 hours, from 5 PM to 7 PM.

To be clear – it was not an official UK Parliament event. It was just a private event held in a small, rented room in Portcullis House. On top of that, they were not even allowed to livestream or record the event!

In short – the speakers at that event were only “testifying” to the few attendees in the room, not to the U.K. Parliament… unless it was by telepathy?

Fact #2 : It Was A Small Private Event

Even though the private COVID-19 vaccines event was hosted by UK MP Andrew Bridgen, it appeared that he had trouble getting his fellow MPs to attend. In fact, Andrew Bridgen had to ask the public to write to their MPs to ask (beg?) them to attend that meeting!

The choice of The Wilson Room also suggests that Andrew Bridgen did not expect many to attend. The Wilson Room appears to be a small meeting room, with a maximum capacity of 12-16 delegates, with sitting room for another 30 or so people.

Although Steve Kirsch claimed that some 12-16 MPs, other people said that the MPs only popped in for a few minutes. For example, MP Desmond Swayne left “disapprovingly” after the first 5 minutes, and just two minutes into David Martin’s presentation.

For context, the United Kingdom has 650 Members of Parliament in the House of Commons, and 784 members in the House of Lords.

This appears to be a much smaller, UK version of the International COVID Summit III, which claimed to be an official EU Parliament event (it was not).

Fact #3 : Most UK MPs Did Not Attend

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, for one, not only declined to attend, he pointed out (archive) that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

Firstly, whilst I am unable to attend the debate, the arrival of safe, effective and medically approved vaccines brought about a dramatic shift in our fight against Covid-19, not only in the UK but across the globe. I am incredibly proud of the strong role the UK played internationally in producing a viable vaccine, and also the incredible speed at which the NHS rolled it out domestically.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) followed rigorous procedures to ensure the vaccines met the necessary high standards in safety and efficacy.

The MHRA is one of the most respected regulators in the world and the World Health Organisation not only backed its approach, but also commended its work.

As I have alluded to previously, any Covid-19 vaccine that is approved must go through rigorous clinical trials and safety checks. Millions of people have been given a Covid-19 vaccine and reports of serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, have been very rare.

Data has shown that the vast majority of reported side effects are mild and in line with most types of vaccine, including the seasonal flu vaccine. The MHRA continues to monitor potential side effects of all vaccines in the UK. Routine safety monitoring and analysis of the approved Covid-19 vaccines by the MHRA shows that the safety of these vaccines remains as high as expected from the clinical trial data that supported the approvals.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact me.

Cat Smith, the Member of Parliament for Lancaster and Fleetwood, also declined to attend, noting that the overwhelming evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe, and MPs would be legitimising the debate by participating:

Thank you for your emails regarding excess deaths and next week’s debate in Parliament.

The overwhelming evidence demonstrates that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe for the overwhelming majority so no I will not be legitimising this debate by participating in it.

Fact #4 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective

Regardless of what the 7 “experts or top doctors” may have said during that short 2-hour private meeting in The Wilson Room of the Portcullis House, they cannot refute the overwhelming evidence that COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be safe and effective for the vast majority of people who took them.

Tens of billions of doses have already been administered over the past 3 years, and verified cases of serious side effects and deaths have been few and far in between. In fact, the risk of developing myocarditis after a COVID-19 infection, for example, was shown to be hundreds of times higher than with multiple doses of the vaccines.

Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Bill Gates mRNA Vaccine Approved With Zero Safety Data?!

Leave a reply

Was a new self-amplifying mRNA COVID-19 vaccine funded by Bill Gates just approved with zero safety data?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Bill Gates mRNA Vaccine Approved With Zero Safety Data!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), suggesting or claiming that a new self-amplifying mRNA COVID-19 vaccine funded by Bill Gates was just approved with zero safety data!

Here is an excerpt from the article (archive), which is really long. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Bill Gates ‘Self-Amplifying mRNA’ COVID Shot Approved For Public Use With Zero Safety Data

A Bill Gates self-amplifying mRNA COVID shot has just been approved for use, despite having undergone none of the usual safety tests.

Japan has become the first nation to approve a dangerous new type of vaccine, developed by Gates-funded Daiichi Sankyo.

“A Japanese Health Ministry panel has said a coronavirus vaccine developed by Daiichi Sankyo can be used for inoculations in Japan,” NHK World reports.

Epoch Times reports: The term “self-amplifying” is self-explanatory: saRNA replicates itself repeatedly, which is not natural, as natural mRNA is always (without exception) transcribed from DNA (this is called the “central dogma of molecular biology”).

saRNA is the political solution: the same amount (or even more) of antigen in only one shot! The public will likely be told that due to the regular mutations of the virus, yearly adapted boosters will continue to be necessary.

As we discovered with modRNA, the spike protein is poisonous to our bodies. We know that modRNA results in the production of more spike protein than would be available during a natural infection, and we know that repeated boosters cause immune tolerance.

Compared to modRNA, a small amount of saRNA results in an increased amount of produced antigen.

The “dose” of viral antigen that current and future RNA-based vaccines bring about will show large fluctuations from one individual to the next, depending on the cell type producing the desired antigen, genetic predisposition, medical history, and other factors. This fact alone should prohibit the use of RNA-based injections as vaccines for healthy people.

Show less

Truth : No Bill Gates mRNA Vaccine Was Approved!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : No Evidence Bill Gates Funded Daiichi-Sankyo Vaccine

Let me just start by pointing out that the new COVID-19 vaccine in question was developed by Daiichi-Sankyo, and is called DAICHIRONA for Intramuscular Injection (DS-5670).

The Daiichi Sankyo DS-5670 vaccine was developed through the “Vaccine Development Project”, which is funded by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and development (AMED), as well as the “Urgent Improvement Project for Vaccine Manufacturing Systems” supported by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW).

There is no evidence that Bill Gates personally funded the development of this vaccine. There is certainly no evidence he owns this COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #2 : GHIT Fund Targets Drugs For Developing Countries

The link provided in The People’s Voice article does not show Bill Gates funding the Daiichi Sankyo vaccine. It actually links to a Daiichi Sankyo page on the GHIT (Global Health Innovative Technology) Fund that it created in April 2013.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports the GHIT Fund, together with the government of Japan, and five Japanese pharmaceutical companies. The GHIT Fund, however, is targeted at developing drugs for combating infectious diseases in developing countries like Chagas disease and malaria.

The GHIT fund has nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines. The funding by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation would therefore have nothing to do with the development of the Daiichi Sankyo DAICHIRONA vaccine.

Fact #3 : Daiichi Sankyo Vaccine Was Tested

The claim that the Daiichi Sankyo mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 was approved without testing is without merit, and evidence. The article certainly provided no evidence the DAICHIRONA vaccine was approved without testing.

A quick search would show Daiichi Sankyo researchers published the results from their Phase 2 clinical study on 31 August 2023, in the journal Vaccine. The study was also registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials with the Trial ID of jRCT2071210086.

On 15 November 2022, Daiichi Sankyo announced that it successfully complete the Phase 1/2/3 trial of its DS-5670 mRNA vaccine (PDF), involving 5,000 Japanese adults and senior citizens. It applied for vaccine approval in January 2023, and received it on 2 August 2023 (PDF).

On 7 September 2023, Daiichi Sankyo announced (PDF) that it successfully completed the Phase 3 trial of the improved DS-5670 bivalent vaccine that began in May 2023 (PDF). That was the basis for its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) on the same day (PDF), which was approved on 28 November 2023 (PDF).

In short – the original and improved bivalent Daiichi Sankyo vaccines underwent and passed clinical trials like other COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #4 : DAICHIRONA Is An mRNA Vaccine

The People’s Voice appears to believe that the Daiichi Sankyo DAICHIRONA vaccine for COVID-19 is a “self-amplifying mRNA vaccine”. That cannot be further from the truth.

The Daiichi Sankyo vaccine, which was formerly known as DS-5670 or DS-5670A, is an mRNA vaccine like the Pfizer-BioNTech COMIRNATY and Moderna Spikevax vaccines.

It does not “self-replicate” or “self-amplify” as claimed. It merely delivers the mRNA instructions to the cell, which then produces the spike protein to display on its surface.

The quote about “self-amplifying mRNA” appears to be lifted off an unrelated article (archive) by The Epoch Times on “self-amplifying RNA vaccines” that might be coming in the future.

However, mRNA (messenger RNA) is different from RNA, and The Epoch Times article was referring to the “next-generation of RNA-based” vaccines.

Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News

Did Iceland Ban COVID Vaccines After Sudden Deaths?!

Leave a reply

Did Iceland just ban all COVID-19 vaccines after experiencing a spike in sudden deaths?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Iceland Banned COVID Vaccines After Sudden Deaths!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), suggesting or claiming that Iceland is no longer offering COVID-19 vaccines to its general population after a spike in sudden deaths!

Steve Kirsch : Iceland No Longer Offers Covid Vaccines To General Population After Spike In Sudden Deaths – The People’s Voice

Here is an excerpt from the article (archive). Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Iceland No Longer Offers Covid Vaccines To General Population After Spike In Sudden Deaths – The People’s Voice

The government of Iceland has announced the immediate withdrawal of all Covid-19 vaccines, as the island nation’s public health system grapples with a huge spike in vaccine related sudden deaths and injuries.

The government announced the news in an announcement in the Icelandic daily newspaper Morgunbladid last week.

According to the government announcement, the Covid-19 virus is now “just like any other flu” and following the spate of sudden deaths and injuries, citizens will no longer be able to receive Covid vaccinations.

Per the government announcement: “Next week, the public will be able to get an influenza vaccination at the health center, but not Covid vaccination at the moment.”

The news comes as Iceland, like all heavily vaccinated nations, continues to experience extraordinary rates of excess mortality caused by sudden deaths that remain unexplained by official sources.

Iceland is the first country to acknowledge the problem of sudden deaths and take action.

Whistleblowers in nations around the world, including the UK, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States, have been urgently sounding the alarm about the issue.

Truth : Iceland Did Not Ban COVID-19 Vaccines!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Iceland Has Not Banned COVID-19 Vaccines

Let me just start by pointing out that Iceland did not ban COVID-19 vaccines. Anyone who even takes 5 seconds to check would have discovered this.

For one thing – the website of Iceland’s Directorate of Health did not announce any ban of the COVID-19 vaccines.

Articles claiming that the decision to ban the COVID-19 vaccines was published by the Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladid also did not provide an actual link to the announcement. In fact, Morgunbladid actually posted on 3 October 2023 (English translation) that Iceland just started its COVID-19 vaccination campaign for the winter season!

Fact #2 : Iceland Refuted Claims It Banned COVID-19 Vaccines

On 29 November 2023, the Chief Epidemiologist at the Icelandic Directorate of Health, Guðrún Aspelund, refuted claims that Iceland banned COVID-19 vaccines.

She also dismissed claims that there was a spike in sudden deaths in Iceland, and explained that Iceland was now recommending the COVID-19 vaccines to high-risk groups, instead of vaccinating the entire population.

Iceland has not banned COVID-19 vaccines, and there are no soaring sudden deaths either.

COVID-19 vaccinations are being administered and recommended to certain high-risk groups, but with no immediate plans to vaccinate the entire population.

Aspelund explained that Iceland is recommending the COVID-19 vaccine this fall and winter season for:

people older than 60 years,
people older than 5 with underlying conditions, and
healthcare workers.

She also stated that even though Iceland has scaled back vaccine purchases to minimise waste, there will be enough vaccines if more people want to get vaccinated:

There is no shortage, and if additional groups require vaccination, it is feasible.

Fact #3 : Iceland Started New COVID-19 Vaccinations In October 2023!

On 2 October 2023, the Icelandic Directorate of Health announced that the updated Pfizer COMINARTY XBB 1.5 vaccine for COVID-19 was available for the winter season of 2023-2024. It also recommended that these groups should receive priority for this new COVID-19 vaccine:

All persons 60 years of age or older.
All children and adults with chronic heart, lung, kidney, and liver disease, obesity, diabetes, malignancy, or immunosuppressive disease caused by drugs or disease.
Pregnant women.
Healthcare professionals who care for individuals in the risk groups listed above.

It also pointed out that the new COVID-19 vaccines will be made free of charge for the high-risk groups above, and that their vaccinations will be carried out in healthcare centres, nursing homes, hospitals and certain pharmacies in the capital area.

Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News

The People’s Voice is the new name / brand for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Joe Biden Caught Receiving Laundered Chinese Money?!

Leave a reply

Was Joe Biden just caught receiving almost a quarter million dollars worth of laundered Chinese money?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Joe Biden Caught Receiving Laundered Chinese Money!

People are sharing videos, articles, etc. that claim or suggest that US President Joe Biden just got caught receiving almost a quarter million dollars worth of laundered Chinese money!

House Oversight Committee : Comer Reveals How Joe Biden Received Laundered China Money

House Oversight Committee : Comer Releases Evidence of Direct Payment to Joe Biden

Russia Today : Biden took $40,000 in ‘laundered Chinese money’ – House Oversight chair

The People’s Voice : Joe Biden Received $40,000 In ‘Laundered Chinese Money’

Still No Evidence Joe Biden Received Chinese Money!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / propagated by Republicans (and useful idiots) of the MAGA persuasion, as well as pro-Russia supporters (vatniks), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Joe Biden Has Not Been Referred For Impeachment

The Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, James Comer – a Republican from Kentucky, has publicly claimed TWICE that he has evidence of Joe Biden receiving Chinese money.

Yet, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has not yet referred President Joe Biden for impeachment proceedings, or call for a Special Council to prosecute him. What are they waiting for?

Fact #2 : There Was No Evidence Of Corruption

On both occasions, Comer only provided a scan copy of a personal cheque issued to Joe Biden by his brother, James Biden and James’ wife, Sara Biden, as “evidence” of corruption.

October 20, 2023 Press Release

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today announced the committee obtained bank records revealing a $200,000 direct payment from James and Sara Biden to Joe Biden in the form of a personal check.

November 1, 2023 Press Release

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today released a video and bank records memorandum revealing how Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered China money from the account of his brother, James Biden, and his sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check.

Neither personal cheques from his brother or his brother’s wife are actual evidence that President Joe Biden received “laundered Chinese money”. They are only evidence that Joe Biden received money from his brother, and his brother’s wife.

If that is the bar for evidence of corruption and/or receiving “laundered Chinese money”, then many of us who received money from our relatives are guilty of corruption and/or receiving laundered foreign money. That sounds stupid? Yes, that’s exactly how stupid the so-called “evidence” against Joe Biden really looks.

Fact #3 : Cheques Were For Personal Loan Repayment

The two cheques clearly stated that they were to pay Joe Biden for a (personal) loan. You know – the kind family members often give out to their brothers or sisters who are in financial trouble. The words “Loan repayment” was even stated clearly in the front of the two cheques.

I should point out that Comer was not able to prove that these were not loan repayment cheques. He only said he would view the $200,000 cheque as “troubling” even if it was for a loan repayment, because it came on the same day James Biden received $200,000 from a struggling health company he did business with.

Wow! Imagine that – it was “troubling” for Comer to see someone receive repayment for a personal loan he made out to his own brother, just because it appears that his brother received the money from a company he did business with.

Fact #4 : Joe Biden Loaned His Brother Money

James Comer also claimed that he did not “believe” that Joe Biden actually loaned his brother money.

When Democratic members of his committee and a lawyer for James Biden said that the committee has documents to prove that Joe Biden did indeed loan $200,000 to James Biden, Comer declared that the Democrats were “lying”, and said that “at the end of the day, there’s no document that shows there was a loan”.

CNN fact checker Daniel Dale revealed on 31 October 2023, that they were able to obtain the same banking records that Comer’s committee received, and they showed that President Joe Biden loaned his brother $200,000 less than two months prior to the James Biden “loan repayment” cheque for the same amount.

The banking records that both CNN and Comer’s committee had access to showed that Joe Biden sent a $200,000 wire transfer to James Biden on January 12, 2018. James Biden then issued the $200,000 loan repayment cheque on March 1, 2018.

The top Democrat on Comer’s committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, even wrote to rebuke Comer, pointing out that there is “clear evidence that this transaction was a short-term, interest-free loan between brothers“.

[T]he bank records provided to the Committee clearly show that President Biden had $200,000 wired to his brother on January 12, 2018.

Despite this clear evidence that James Biden received a loan from his brother on January 12, 2018, and paid him back 48 days later with a check for the same amount marked ‘loan repayment,’ you continue to misrepresent the facts.”

In short – Comer’s committee appears to have documents showing that there was a loan from Joe Biden to James Biden, so the loan repayment was legitimate, and not actual evidence of corruption or money laundering.

Fact #5 : Joe Biden Was A Private Citizen At That Time

This may seem like a small point, but it is an important one to make. These personal loans and loan repayments between Joe Biden and his brother all occurred in 2017-2018.

At that time, Joe Biden was not President. Heck, he was not even a Presidential candidate – he did not announce his 2020 Presidential bid until April 25, 2019.

In other words – there is simply no question of Joe Biden abusing the power of his office (he had none at that time) to enrich himself with foreign money.

Is Bill Gates Facing Life Behind Bars For Child Rape?!

Leave a reply

Is Bill Gates facing life behind bars after investigators reveal that the billionaire is about to be prosecuted for child rape?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Bill Gates Is Facing Life Behind Bars For Child Rape!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), suggesting or claiming that Bill Gates is facing life behind bars after investigators reveal that the billionaire is about to be prosecuted for child rape!

Here is an excerpt from the article, which is absurdly long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Bill Gates Facing Life Behind Bars on Child Rape Charges

Bill Gates has already lost his marriage due his friendship with the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but he is about to lose a whole lot more, according to investigators who revealed the globalist billionaire is about to be thrown under the bus and prosecuted on child rape charges.

Gates isn’t the only global elite facing charges. A whole host of household names, including members of the US House and Senate, are currently sweating as the walls close in on them.

Epstein’s Little Black Book revealed it is not just politicians who are compromised in the worst possible way. Titans of industry and globalist elites including Bill Gates feature prominently. But we already knew that when Melinda Gates divorced her husband because he wouldn’t break off his creepy friendship with the convicted pedophile with his island full of underage sex slaves.

Mainstream media don’t want you to know this, but there are still court cases ongoing involving Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their victims. Mainstream media don’t want you to know because they are desperately prevent the release of the Epstein client list.

Why are they so keen to keep it under wraps? Because the media is the PR department of the global elite – and Epstein’s client list will blow their cozy little world apart once and for all.

Mainstream media is desperately trying to keep these names out of the news, so it is worth going over the confirmed list of elites in Epstein’s orbit that we know about from the discovery processes of the cases earlier this year.

This doesn’t mean these elites are 100% clients and co-conspirators in Epstein’s worse crimes, but these people were close to him, socializing with him, and doing business with him. These are the elites we know for sure were in Epstein’s ring.

Tom Pritzker, Hyatt Hotels chairman.

Sergei Brin, Google co-founder.

Mortimer Zuckerman, real estate mogul.

Jes Staley, former JPMorgan CEO.

Lawrence Summers, Bill Clinton’s Treasury Secretary.

Ehud Barak, former Israel Prime Minister.

Woody Allen, Hollywood director.

Barnaby Marsh, author and philanthropist.

Glenn Dubin, billionaire hedge fund manager.

Kathryn Ruemmler, Obama White House counsel

Prof. Noam Chomsky

Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan Chase CEO.

Reid Hoffman – Linkedin co-founder and Trump-hater.

And perhaps most disturbing of all, William Burns, Biden’s current CIA Director.

All of these names are noteworthy and it’s worth digging deeper into all of them.

Truth : Bill Gates Is Not Facing Life Behind Bars For Child Rape!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : The People’s Voice Provided No Evidence

The introduction to The People’s Voice article claimed that “investigators” revealed that Bill Gates is about to be “prosecuted on child rape charges“.

But if you actually read the long, rambling article, you will realise that it actually does not provide any evidence that any law enforcement official has actually revealed that Bill Gates is going to be “prosecuted on child rape charges“.

In fact, Bill Gates was only mentioned 4 times in the entire article body. Other than the introduction which claimed that he’s about to be prosecuted for child rape, the article itself did not once say that Bill Gates was about to be charged for child rape.

This is as exciting as going to the theatre to watch a movie starring Tom Cruise, and seeing his face plastered on the movie poster… only to find out in the actual movie that he was merely recorded in the background walking with his son Connor. Totally lame.

Fact #2 : Bill Gates Has Not Been Prosecuted For Child Rape

To be clear – Bill Gates has not been prosecuted for child rape. In fact, there is no known investigation tying him to any child rape.

On top of that – The People’s Voice article itself does not actually say that he has been prosecuted for child rape. In fact, most of the article appears to avoid mentioning Bill Gates!

Fact #3 : Melinda Gates Message Appears To Be Fake

The Melinda Gates post telling Bill Gates that “It’s prison time” and that “Epstein blackmailed” him appears to be completely fabricated.

Even though it served as the cover image for The People’s Voice video, it was not mentioned or shown even once in the 11-minute long video. It was also poorly mosaiced, which allowed us to make out some of the words:

It’s prison time Bill.

You’re a sick (sonofabitch?) for abusing those children.

I have it all on tape.

Epstein blackmailed you and it’s catching up with (you?)

I hope they throw away (the key?)

Don’t attempt to speak to me or our children.

Melinda Gates has never posted such a thing to her former husband. If she did, it would have been international news.

I should also point out that she uses her full name – Melinda French Gates, instead of just Melinda Gates, in her social media accounts.

Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is A Fake News Website

The People’s Voice is the new name / brand for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Japan Confirmed All COVID Variants Were Engineered?!

Leave a reply

Did Japan just release evidence that all COVID variants were engineered in biolabs?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Japan Confirmed All COVID Variants Were Engineered!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that Japan just released evidence that all COVID variants were engineered in biolabs!

Here is an excerpt from the article, which is pretty long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Japan Releases Evidence That ALL COVID Variants Were Engineered in Biolabs

An official new study out of Japan has concluded that all Covid variants were engineered in biolabs and intentionally released into the public.

The mainstream media has recently ramped up reports that Covid cases are on the rise in the run-up to the 2024 election.

Mainstream journalists and health officials have been promoting the return of masks and vaccines to tackle the spread of new variants EG.5.1 and BA.X.

However, a recent Japanese study suggests that the plot to lockdown the public again may be part of a sinister plan to take away more of our personal freedoms.

NN reports: The study found that all previous variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, were not naturally occurring but were, in fact, made in a laboratory.

Presumably, the latest EG.5.1 and BA.X variants were also engineered in a lab, according to the study.

The study was led by renowned Japanese Professors Atsuki Tanaka and Takayuki Miyazawa of Osaka Medical University and Kyoto University.

Tanaka and Miyazawa wanted to trace the historical evolution of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV2.

To trace the variant’s origins, they studied viral sequences found “in the wild” and deposited in public databases.

In doing this they found around 100 separate omicron subvariants that could not conceivably have arisen through natural processes.

The existence of these variants seems to provide definitive proof of large-scale lab creation and release of COVID-19 viruses.

Moreover, the variants appear to form comprehensive panels of mutations typical of those used in “reverse genetics” experiments to systematically test the properties of different parts of viruses, Substacker PSMI wrote.

According to the professors’ findings, COVID-19 and all of its variants came from a lab.

“Suppose the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and its one amino acid reversion mutants were artificially and systematically generated,” they further clarify.

“In that case, we should suspect that the other variants (Alpha to Delta) may also be artificially generated viruses.”

They continue by raising questions about who may have engineered the virus and why.

“One idea, the hypothesis that these viruses were artificially generated, is more reasonable than proposing a novel mutation acquisition mechanism,” the paper reads.

“However, is there any reason to artificially create these mutants, which are unlikely to have occurred naturally, given the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic?”

Truth : Japan Did Not Confirm COVID Variants Were Engineered!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS about COVID-19 and the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Study Does Not Appear To Be Official / Peer-Reviewed

First, let me just direct you to the study – Unnatural evolutionary processes of SARS-CoV-2 variants and possibility of deliberate natural selection, which you can read for yourself here.

This is not an official study conducted by the Japanese government, or its agencies. Neither does this study appear to be published or peer-reviewed by any journal.

This study appears to be only “published” in Zenodo on August 15, 2023. Zenodo is not a journal though, but a general-purpose open repository for research papers, data sets, and other research-related digital files.

Zenodo (https://zenodo.org) is an open repository for all scholarship, enabling researchers from all disciplines to share and preserve their research outputs, regardless of size or format.

While this does not mean that the study is rubbish, it is important for the study to be at least pass the peer-review process, which is itself merely the first step in any scientific research review process.

Fact #2 : Study Only Looked At Omicron Variants

While The People’s Voice article claimed that the study “concluded that all Covid variants were engineered in biolabs“, that is simply not the case. For one thing – the study only looked at Omicron variants.

In this study, we aimed to clarify the evolutionary processes leading to the formation of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, focusing on Omicron variants with many amino acid mutations in the spike protein among SARS-CoV-2 isolates.

The study authors certainly never concluded that “all Covid variants were engineered in biolabs“.

Fact #3 : Study Never Said COVID-19 Was Artificially Created

While The People’s Voice article claimed that the study “concluded that all Covid variants were engineered in biolabs“, that is also not the case.

The authors pointed out in their study (PDF download) that they “do not conclude” that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was “artificially synthesized”.

Furthermore, we do not conclude that these viruses were artificially synthesized…

In addition, the authors went to some length to point out that it is impossible to know if the original SARS-CoV-2 virus was natural or artificial.

It has been claimed that SARS-CoV-2 is artificially generated because of the unnatural presence of a codon (CGG) encoding a contiguous arginine at the furin cleavage site of SARS-CoV-2. This claim is refuted based on the following facts;

1) there is no logical reason for a genetically engineered virus to utilize such a suboptimal furin cleavage site.

2) The only previous study on artificial insertion of furin cleavage sites at the S1/S2 boundary of the S protein of SARS-CoV-1 using the pseudotype virus experimental system utilized the optimal “RRSRR” sequence, which is different from the furin cleavage site’s sequence present in SARS-CoV-2.

3) There is also no evidence of previous studies at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that artificially inserted a complete furin cleavage site in coronaviruses.

4) Unnatural CGG codons adjacent to the arginine at the furin cleavage site are rare in coronaviruses but are observed at a particular frequency in SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and other human coronaviruses.

However, these are only declarations and are illogical. No one explained why a naturally occurring virus would utilize a suboptimal furin cleavage site. It has not been mentioned about technically possible to insert this furin cleavage site or a CGG codon artificially. Inserting a polybasic furin cleavage site on the S protein makes it impossible to conclude whether SARS-CoV-2 is a naturally occurring or artificial virus by discussing whether it is natural or artificial.

Show less

Fact #4 : Study Never Said COVID-19 Was Intentionally Released

The People’s Voice article also claimed that the study “concluded that all Covid variants” were “intentionally released into the public“. Again, that is not the case.

The authors pointed out in their study (PDF download) that they “do not conclude” that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was “distributed based on malicious intent”.

… we do not conclude that these viruses were … distributed based on malicious intent.

Fact #5 : Study Hypothesises Gain-of-Function Creation Of Omicron

The study authors are hypothesising that the Omicron variants may have been artificially synthesised, based on their finding that “most of the mutations” in the S protein of the Omicron variants “are non-synonymous“, which they claim is “highly unnatural“.

The authors suggested that the mutations may have been “artificially generated to identify amino acids of the S protein involved in the infectivity and virulence” of the coronavirus.

While the authors did not explicitly say so, they are suggesting that the Omicron variant may have been introduced as an accidental lab leak of gain-of-function research into SARS-CoV-2.

Fact #6 : Study Called For Further Research

Rather that coming to the conclusion that “all Covid variants were engineered in biolabs and intentionally released into the public” as claimed by The People’s Voice article, the authors pointed out that their study had some weaknesses:

their databases had “a limited number of viral sequences”, and
their data may be unreliable due to “technical problems in sequencing or some malicious intent”

As such, their paper aims to “point out” that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has undergone “unthinkable mutations under conventional coronavirus mutation mechanisms“, and the authors “hope” that the “possibility of artificial theory” be “included in the discussion“.

In other words – the study authors suggest that more research should be conducted to look at the possibility that these COVID-19 variants were artificially created as part of reverse genetics / Gain-of-Function (GoF) research.

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Tom Hanks Was Just Accused Of Child Sex Crimes!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), suggesting or claiming that Tom Hanks just disabled comments on his Instagram account, after being accused of child sex crimes?!

Here is an excerpt from the article, which is pretty long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Tom Hanks’ Instagram Flooded With People Demanding His Arrest For ‘Child Sex Crimes’

Hollywood A-lister Tom Hanks has disabled comments on his popular Instagram page after tens of thousands of people called him out for alleged child sex crimes and demanded an urgent investigation into his crimes against children.

The activity on Hanks’ social media feeds follows explosive allegations against Hollywood royalty including Hanks and Steven Spielberg, accusing them of being abusive pedophiles.

According to the commenters, Hanks is a prolific pedophile who has been “hiding in plain sight” in the public eye for decades, while flaunting his depraved lifestyle through the use of signs and symbols.

Isaac Kappy, a Hollywood insider known for his appearances in Thor (2011), Fanboys (2009) and Terminator Salvation (2009), among other roles, took to YouTube to open up about the Hollywood sickness, naming and shaming various A-list stars and industry names.

Describing pedophilia as “the Hollywood sickness“, Kappy says, “At the top level, these people are just sick and psycho. This is what’s sad about this. A lot of people are born into it,” he said, describing a broad Hollywood culture of abuse against children.

Kappy mentioned A-list names including Tom Hanks, Michael Jackson, and Steven Spielberg, claiming they will all be remembered by future generations as notorious abusers on par with Jimmy Savile, the notorious elite British child abuser.

The claims against Tom Hanks came after Sarah Ruth Ashcraft announced that she was sold for sex by her father at age 13 years and raped by Hollywood star Tom Hanks.

Truth : Tom Hanks Was Not Just Accused Of Child Sex Crimes!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created about Tom Hanks, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Tom Hanks Appear To Disable Instagram Comments In 2020

There is no evidence that Tom Hanks only recently disabled comments on his Instagram account, due to a deluge of comments about his “child sex crimes”.

After scouring through past snapshots of his Instagram account, it appears that Tom Hanks disabled comments after posting on March 13, 2020 that he and his wife, Rita Wilson, were doing well after getting COVID-19.

According to snapshots from archive.today, Tom Hank appears to have disabled comments on his Instagram post sometime between 2 August 2020 and 13 September 2020.

In other words – Tom Hanks appears to have disabled comments on his Instagram account more than 3 years ago!

Fact #2 : Sarah Ruth Ashcraft Claims Were From 2018

The article appears to claim that these claims against Tom Hanks came after Sarah Ruth Ashcraft announced that her father sold her to Tom Hanks for sex when she was 13 years old.

The trouble is – Sarah Ruth Ashcraft made that claim back in July 2018 – more than 5 years ago. So that accusation is not new.

Fact #3 : No Evidence Tom Hanks Committed Child Sex Crimes

Despite Sarah Ruth Ashcraft publicly accusing Tom Hanks of sexually abusing her while she was under “mind control” over 5 years ago, she did not appear to file any police report, or provide any evidence to back up her claims.

This is me at 13, the age I was when @tomhanks purchased me from my father for sex as a dissociated #mindcontrol doll. I wonder how much he paid? I wonder how much $$$ my father made for breaking my mind & selling my child body throughout my life. Will I ever get to know?

So far, Sarah Ruth Ashcraft is the only person who ever accused Tom Hanks of sexual abuse.

Fact #4 : Sarah Ruth Ashcraft Also Accused Many People Of Sex Crimes

Interestingly, Sarah Ruth Ashcraft also accused other people of sexually abusing her as a child:

As a CHILD while under #MindControl I was sexually abused by politicians, mostly Dems [Democrats], including HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton], during occult rituals, masonic meetings, & private interactions in my own home in MI near #JohnConyers’ district. Keep looking in his direction you will find MANY perpetrators.

I’ve named some (not all) of the people who abused me as a CHILD, including my parents/family, all my ex-partners, most “friends”, HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton], Tom Hanks, a Catholic Cardinal, Jonathan Freeman (voice of Jafar in Aladdin), The Roeper School, & Fragomen. There are MANY others. #ItEndsNow

To date, Sarah Ruth Ashcraft has never provided any evidence of actual interactions with those people she named. And she has never provided any evidence she was sexually abused by them.

Did WEF Order Arrests Of Climate Change Deniers?!

Leave a reply

Did the WEF order world governments to start arresting climate change deniers?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : WEF Orders Arrests Of Climate Change Deniers!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), suggesting or claiming that the World Economic Forum (WEF) just ordered world governments to arrest climate change deniers!

Here is an excerpt from the article, which is pretty long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

WEF Orders World Govt’s To Begin Arresting ‘Climate Deniers’

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has ordered world governments to being arresting citizens to refuse to believe in man-made climate change.

In a memo posted to their website, the WEF calls “climate inaction” a “human rights violation.”

The author of the memo suggests there will be an increasing number of climate-related lawsuits in the coming years.

“Climate-related litigation generally seems poised for expansion,” the article states.

Activistpost.com reports: According to the Global Climate Change Litigation database, there have been over 130 cases worldwide that have brought human rights-based claims against governments.

Furthermore, a legal advocate for climate litigation, Clémentine Baldon, told the WEF last year that there is a strong expectation that human rights-related climate claims “will continue to increase.”

On Wednesday, a lawsuit went to the European Court of Human Rights, brought forth by six young individuals against 32 European countries. The six individuals are alleging that the countries’ have failed to address the “climate crisis” caused by human activities.

“It’s being described as “unprecedented” in terms of potential impact,” the WEF stated.

“A win could push some of the wealthiest countries in the world to ramp up their responses to a changing climate; a loss could affect the numerous other legal efforts now underway to target inaction.”

Show less

Truth : WEF Did Not Order Arrests Of Climate Change Deniers!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created about the WEF, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : It Was An Article, Not A Memo

First, let me just point out that it was a World Economic Forum article (link here), and not a memo.

Unlike an article, a memo – short for memorandum – is a brief written record / reminder of the author’s memory, or to serve as a quick summary of a meeting or discussion.

The article was also written by two authors – John Letzing and Minji Sung, not a single author as claimed in The People’s Voice article.

Fact #2 : Article Was About Rights-Based Climate Lawsuits

The WEF article did not call “climate inaction” a “human rights violation” as claimed in The People’s Voice article.

In fact, the title of the article questioned that – Is climate inaction a human rights violation?

The WEF article also pointed out that “rights-based climate litigation” has “a mixed track record“.

Fact #3 : WEF Did Not Order Any Arrest

Nowhere in the entire WEF article did anyone call for the arrest of any climate change denier.

In fact, the words “arrest” or “arresting” do not appear a single time in the entire WEF article.

Just to be clear – issuing a lawsuit against someone or an organisation does not mean you are ordering them to be arrested.

Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Offered Zero Evidence

Interestingly, The People’s Voice article itself has not offered any evidence that the WEF ordered world governments to arrest anyone, much less “citizens [who] refuse to believe in man-made climate change”.

In fact, the words “arrest” or “arresting” only appear twice in its entire article. Once in the title, and once in its byline:

WEF Orders World Govt’s To Begin Arresting ‘Climate Deniers’

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has ordered world governments to being arresting citizens to refuse to believe in man-made climate change.

That's it. There is no other mention of the words "arrest" or "arresting" anywhere else in The People's Voice article.

Fact #5 : The People's Voice Is A Fake News Website

The People's Voice is the new name / brand for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited and made worthless.

Like Real Raw News, NewPunch was a FAKE NEWS website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.

It was founded as Your News Wire in 2014, before being rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news spread on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from NewsPunch / The People's Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I personally fact checked earlier:

Did Japan Order Investigation Of COVID-19 Vaccine Deaths?!

Did Japan just order an official investigation into COVID-19 vaccines because of skyrocketing excess deaths?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Japan Orders Investigation Of COVID-19 Vaccine Deaths!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), suggesting or claiming that Japan just ordered an investigation into COVID-19 vaccines because of skyrocketing excess deaths?!

Steve Kirsch : Wow. The Japanese government deletes vaccine data that they don’t like. I didn’t realize the Japanese government was just as corrupt as the other governments. I regret the error. This is one of the many reasons I don’t trust government data anymore. And neither should you.

Prof Shmuel C. Shapira MD MPH : It is Hapenning. [sic] ‘This Is a National Crisis’: Japan Orders Investigation Into Covid Jabs As Excess Deaths Skyrocket

Here is an excerpt from the article, which is pretty long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

This Is a National Crisis’: Japan Orders Investigation Into Covid Jabs As Excess Deaths Skyrocket

“Today, we filed a lawsuit against the Japanese government for cancellation of the administrative action,” announced Dr. Masanori Fukushima during a press conference. Because the Japanese Health Ministry refuses to acknowledge the causal link between vaccines and deaths, Professor Fukushima and a team of researchers said they “had no choice but to dare to take legal action.”

Masanori Fukushima is an infectious disease expert and Professor Emeritus at Kyoto University — with over 25 years of oncology experience. He has been hammering at the cracks in the vaccine narrative and publicly condemned Japan’s Ministry of Health late last year.

“Today, it is a matter of fundamental importance for the Japanese government to continuously collect and disclose accurate data,” Professor Fukushima expressed. “However, I have witnessed the recent fraud scandal committed by the Health Ministry.”

“I have come to realize that this is a historically serious problem that threatens the very existence of the nation of Japan,” he stressed. “As a medical doctor and a scientist, I had no choice but to dare to take legal action.”

Dr. Fukushima continues, explaining the importance of honestly disclosing public health data.

“Needless to say, it is absolutely important to disclose real-world data on the efficacy and safety of the vaccination against the COVID-19 virus. This is because such data is directly linked to people’s healthcare, livelihood, and economy. Therefore, I believe that the Japanese government, that is, the Health Ministry, must disclose the data properly to the public.”

Professor Masanori Fukushima then breaks down some startling data. “Take a look at the data for 65-69 and 70-79 age groups,” he implored. “Surprisingly, the number of new infections or positive cases per 100,000 people is four times higher for people who have been vaccinated twice, compared to unvaccinated people.”

“Also, look at the data provided by the Advisory Board in September 2021,” he invited. “The fatality rate of the unvaccinated people and the fatality rates of the one-dose and two-dose vaccine people were described properly. According to the description in red, vaccination has indeed reduced the fatality rate for those over 65 years of age. However, for all ages, vaccination has demonstrated the opposite effect, causing higher fatality rates. This is a paradoxical phenomenon,” he asserted.

“As such, data on the fatality rates had already been published in official documents after all. However, in last year’s data, the Health Ministry deleted all that information,” Dr. Fukushima loathed.

“In fact, vaccination has been recommended based on the explanation that vaccination does not prevent infection, but vaccination prevents severe illness and reduces the mortality rate.” However, Dr. Fukushima countered, “based on the data published by the Advisory Board in September 2021, the basis for recommending vaccination for all ages should no longer exist anymore. Despite the fact, the Health Ministry has pushed ahead with the vaccination.”

And as such, Professor Fukushima considers the situation to be “a serious national crisis.” “This is why I have decided to file a lawsuit against the government at this time.”

Truth : Japan Did Not Order Investigation Of COVID-19 Vaccine Deaths!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Japan Did Not Order Any Investigation Into COVID-19 Vaccines

First, let me just point out that the Japanese government has not ordered any investigation into COVID-19 vaccines.

In fact, The People’s Voice article only makes that claim in its title. The article itself does not refer to any investigation by the Japanese government into COVID-19 vaccines!

The truth is – a Japanese private citizen called Dr. Masanori Fukushima took upon himself to call for a press conference to announce that he decided to “file a lawsuit against the Japanese government” over COVID-19 vaccines.

It looks like all those who shared the article, and claimed that Japan just ordered an investigation into COVID-19 vaccines after excess deaths skyrocketed did not actually read the article itself…

Of course, one has to wonder why The People’s Voice used a title that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the content of its own article…

Fact #2 : Dr. Fukushima Filed His Lawsuit In February 2023

The article by The People’s Voice isn’t even new. It was published on June 9, 2023. But even that article was based on old news.

Dr. Masanori Fukushima announced his decision to sue the Japanese government over COVID-19 vaccines on 2 February 2023 – 4 months before The People’s Voice published its article.

Interestingly, the video (and screenshots) of Dr. Fukushima announcing his lawsuit against the Japanese government was widely shared on social media in February 2023. Yet, both the video or its screenshots were not seen in The People’s Voice‘s article.

In the spirit of transparency, I attached it below. As you can see, it was posted by @ShortShort_News, and dated 2 February 2023.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Professor-Masanori-Fukushima-vaccine-lawsuit.mp4?_=1

Fact #3 : No Evidence Japanese Government Deleted Data

There does not appear to be any evidence that the Japanese government deleted data on the COVID-19 fatality rate of vaccinated vs unvaccinated people.

In fact, Dr. Fukushima mentioned that the Japanese government had earlier published the data in September 2021. Once published, the information is already public. So it wouldn’t matter even if the Japanese government actually tries to delete the data.

It is quite likely that the quote on the Japanese Health Ministry “deleting” the information was a mistranslation. Dr. Fukushima probably meant that the Japanese Health Ministry was no longer providing updated information, or stopped providing the data.

Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is A Fake News Website

The People’s Voice is the new name / brand for NewsPunch, which likely changed its name because it has been so thoroughly discredited, its brand was worthless.

Claim : Helen Smart Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Expose Them : Former Olympic swimmer Helen Smart (formerly Don-Duncan) died suddenly at the age of 42. She was the head teacher at Worsley Mesnes Primary School. In 2022 the school promoted covid vaccination for children 5 and up.

No Evidence Helen Smart Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all sudden deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Helen Smart Died Suddenly In Her Sleep

Helen Smart (born Helen Don-Duncan on 9 June 1981) was an English competitive backstroke swimmer, who represented England in the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, and Great Britain in the 2000 Olympics Games in Sydney.

She retired from competitive swimming after the 2000 Sydney Olympics – 23 years ago, and began a career in teaching. She eventually became the headteacher of Worsley Mesnes Community Primary School in Wigan.

On Friday, 11 August 2023, the former Olympian and her brother, Robert, drove both their families and their parents to Cumbria, to celebrate Robert’s 40th birthday.

Their extended family stayed at a large cottage at the banks of Lake Coniston, where Helen went paddle boarding that evening. Hours later, she went to bed at midnight, saying that she was tired.

At around 4 AM in the morning, Helen’s 4 year-old daughter, Heidi woke up and tried to get in bed with her. That was when Helen was found unresponsive. Her mother, Linda, detailed what happened to Mailonline:

We are just in so much shock. You jump from believing it to not believing it. She had been paddle boarding a few hours before and had never even been ill apart from her knees swelling from swimming.

We’re distraught. They don’t know what it is but they think it must have happened shortly after she went to bed. She just died in her sleep.

At midnight, she went to bed telling me: ‘I’ll go to bed now mum as I know I’ll be woken at 6am by Heidi. I just want to get some sleep in as I’ve had a long day.

Heidi had woken up in the night and tried to get into bed with her. She said to her daddy: ”Mummy won’t wake up’. He said: ”Oh she must be very tired Heidi – you go back to bed.”

He put the torch on and he said later that when he looked he could tell. Robert woke us up at 4am and said: ‘Mum, dad you need to keep up – we think Helen’s died. We just ran up and followed up and there she was in bed

I touched her foot and she was cold. I walked round and to the side of her and she looked asleep but you could tell she was gone. I just said: ”Why couldn’t it have been me.” I would have happily swapped places with her. That’s not the way round it should have been. I just thought, no no.

Fact #2 : Helen Smart’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

It is still unknown HOW or WHY Helen Smart died in her sleep. Her family has not publicly mentioned her cause of death. Even when her husband, Craig Smart, released a statement, he did not mention that her cause of death:

She loved the school, staff, children and parents so much. She was so proud to reach her goal of being headteacher.

She used to say to me all the time she could never see herself at another school. She was Worsley Mesnes through and through!

I remember only last week she said her goal was to get the school to outstanding and that she had the right staff to achieve this.

I hope you all keep learning like champions. Please learn from this and live your best life, no regrets.

Take lots of photos, make memories and keep smiling just like Helen always did! Love to you all!

It is unknown if an autopsy has been conducted, but until and unless her family or the coroner reveals her official cause of death, anyone who claims that Helen Smart / Helen Don-Duncan died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Helen Smart Was Well Before Her Death

Anti-vaccination activists are suggesting that Helen Smart “died suddenly” from vaccine SADS or some vaccine injury, because she was perfectly healthy and well before her sudden death.

As I pointed out earlier – Helen Smart was paddle boarding just hours before her death. That suggests that she was healthy, and not suffering from myocarditis / pericarditis that is often blamed on mRNA vaccines, or any “vaccine injury” for the matter.

Just because she was not ill earlier, does not mean she died from a COVID-19 vaccine side effect. There are many causes of sudden death during sleep – stroke, sudden cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, heart disease, etc.

Until and unless an autopsy is conducted, and her official cause of death is known, we simply do not know why Helen Smart died suddenly in her sleep, much less blame her death on COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #4 : No Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Cause SADS

After billions of doses were administered worldwide over the last 2.5 years, there is still no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS).

In fact, this is a rather ludicrous claim as SADS was first documented in 1977 – long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented!

SADS also occurs at a rate of 0.12 to 0.21 per 100,000 people every single year. In other words, approximately 9,000 to 16,000 people die from SADS every single year, before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Despite what anti-vaccination activists may tell you – SADS is not a new vaccine-related syndrome.

SADS is usually caused by an abnormal heart rhythm that leads to a cardiac arrest. That’s why it can be prevented by implanting a cardioverter-defribillator.

Fact #5 : Unknown If Helen Smart Was Vaccinated

Despite claims that Helen Smart was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that she ever received the COVID-19 vaccine. Her COVID-19 vaccination status has never been made public.

Even though The People’s Voice (formerly known as NewsPunch) declared in its title that Helen Smart died suddenly “following booster shot”, there is no evidence she received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose recently, or even at all.

It is possible that Helen Smart was unvaccinated against COVID-19. After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United Kingdom.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Helen Smart was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us have any evidence of that.

Fact #6 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Helen Smart was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, she would have received her doses more than a year ago! She cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Fact #7 : Claims Of COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Often Proven False

Most claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next death or tragedy…

Did Bill Gates Develop mRNA Vaccine Patches For The Poor?!

Leave a reply

Did Bill Gates develop a new mRNA vaccine patch technology that he hopes to force poor people to wear?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Bill Gates Developed mRNA Vaccine Patches For The Poor!

People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that Bill Gates just unveiled a new mRNA vaccine technology that uses patches that he hopes to force poor people to wear!

Here is an excerpt for that long-winded article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts:

Bill Gates Developing mRNA ‘Vaccine Patches’ That Low-Income Families Will Be Forced To Wear

Bill Gates has unveiled a new mRNA vaccine technology that uses patches instead of needles that he hopes government’s will force low-income people to wear.

Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Health Organization (WHO), and Gavi, the vaccine-containing microarray patches (VMAP) – also known as “micro-array patches” or “microneedle patches” – have been the subject of dozens of scientific papers in recent years.

According to Gates, the mRNA patches will solve the problem of vaccine hesitancy in countries that cannot afford traditional needle-based vaccines.

Childrenshealthdefense.org reports: Scientific and medical experts who spoke with The Defender raised questions about the technology and warned of potential dangers.

Brian Hooker, Ph.D., P.E., senior director of science and research for Children’s Health Defense, said that the term “vaccine patch” may also be misleading, as it might be confused with nicotine patches for smokers.

Hooker told The Defender:

“The term ‘vaccine patch’ is misleading in that this microarray technology is nothing like other patch-based delivery systems for nicotine or hormones. This ‘patch’ still breaks the skin in order to deliver the liquid vaccine that is contained in the microarray’s matrix.

“As such, I don’t quite understand how this injection system will be delivered to patients and parents to administer the vaccine directly. That seems quite risky.

“Unfortunately, repackaging the same vaccines in this different platform does nothing to improve their safety — as this seems more a ploy to convince consumers otherwise.”

Truth : Bill Gates Did Not Develop mRNA Vaccine Patches For The Poor!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created about Bill Gates, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Bill Gates Did Not Develop VMAP

As clever as Bill Gates may be, he did not develop vaccine-containing microarray patches (VMAP), or even the microarray patch technology.

Microarray patch technology, which is also known as microneedle patches, was first developed by a research group headed by Mark Prausnitz at the Georgia Institute of Technology,

Just because the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has funded some of this research, does not mean Bill Gates invented or developed VMAP, any more than any stock investor or venture capitalist can claim to be the inventor of the technologies developed by the companies they invest in.

Fact #2 : VMAP Has Been In Development Since 1998

Vaccine-containing microarray patches (VMAP) isn’t really new technology. They have been in development since Mark Prausnitz’s team demonstrated in 1998 that microneedles can penetrate the uppermost layer (stratum corneum) of the human skin, and therefore could be used to deliver therapeutic agents.

Since then, many research teams have worked on developing and improving the microarray / microneedle patch technology, and there are now 5 main types:

Solid microneedle array to create microscopic wells in the skin, for the drug to be applied via a transdermal patch.
Hollow microneedles to deliver the drug directly into the skin.
Coated microneedles to deliver the drug directly into the skin.
Dissolvable microneedles to ensure the drug only dissolves once inside the body.
Hydrogel-forming microneedles to create a hydrogel that releases the drug inside the skin.

Fact #3 : There Are No mRNA Vaccine Patches

The claim that Bill Gates has developed mRNA vaccine patches that he hopes to force poor people to use is utter nonsense. There are no mRNA vaccine patches, period.

No mRNA vaccine patches are known to have been developed to date, never mind tested and approved!

In addition, there is no evidence that Bill Gates ever claimed that “mRNA patches will solve the problem of vaccine hesitancy”. After all… there are NO mRNA vaccine patches!

Fact #4 : No One Is Forcing Poor People To Get Vaccinated

The claim that these non-existent mRNA vaccine patches are being developed to force poor people to get vaccinated is utter nonsense as well.

As UNICEF points out – the VMAP technology is an alternative immunisation method that has the potential to:

increase acceptability by caregivers and recipients
make vaccines easier to administer
improve safety for healthcare workers
reduce the need for cold chains
enable easier storage and transportation
remove the risk of needle waste

There is no mandate to vaccinate using VMAPs, just as there is no mandate to vaccinate using standard intramuscular injections.

Truth be told – if people are really forced to get the COVID-19 vaccine, poor or otherwise, the “evil government” can just inject them all using existing intramuscular syringes. There is no need to develop new VMAP technology at all!

Needless to say, The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch) offered no evidence to back up its claim that Bill Gates developed mRNA vaccine patches that “he hopes governments will force low-income people to wear“.

Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is A Fake News Website

The People’s Voice is the new name / brand for NewsPunch, which likely changed its name because it has been so thoroughly discredited, its brand was worthless.

Like Real Raw News, NewPunch was a FAKE NEWS website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.

Is Guillain-Barré syndrome emergency in Peru due to vaccine?!

Leave a reply

Did Peru announce a health emergency after the COVID-19 vaccine caused an explosion of Guillain-Barré syndrome cases?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Guillain-Barré syndrome emergency in Peru is due to vaccine!

Many people are sharing articles, or posting messages on social media, claiming that Peru just announced a health emergency after the COVID-19 vaccine caused an explosion of Guillain-Barré syndrome cases!

Here is an excerpt from an article posted by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch)

Peru Announces Health Emergency After Explosion of ‘Vaccine Side-Effect’ Guillain-Barre Syndrome

The Peruvian government has declared a 90-day national state of emergency due to an explosion of cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, according to local reports.

Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare disorder where the body’s immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. While the syndrome is not contagious, a 90-day health emergency was declared because the current cases “have unusual and atypical characteristics that require rapid or immediate initial treatment,” Peru’s Institute of Neurological Sciences said.

The exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is not known, however it is officially listed as a reaction in those who receive the Johnson & Johnson or AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, both of which were widely administered in Peru, which has a national vaccination rate of 92%.

Peru is not the only heavily-vaccinated country experiencing medical carnage in the wake of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.

More than any other country in the world, Australia followed the Covid-19 guidance of the World Health Organization and unelected world health czar Bill Gates, earning special pat on the back from Gates last year when he praised Australia’s early and harsh response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Australia is now being rewarded for following the globalist elite’s guidance with the highest excess mortality rate in the world, and one of the highest levels recorded anywhere in the world in the last 80 years.

Show less

Truth : Guillain-Barré syndrome emergency in Peru is NOT due to vaccine!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and spread by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Guillain-Barré Syndrome Is An Autoimmune Disorder

First, let me just start with a quick primer on Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), which is a rare, autoimmune disorder that damages the patient’s peripheral nervous system.

Basically, the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves and damages their myelin insulation, after being triggered by an infection, or less commonly, by surgery, and rarely, by vaccination.

GBS patients experience numbness, tingling sensation, and pain, as well as progressive muscle weakness. Some people will develop weakness of their breathing muscles, leading to life-threatening breathing difficulties.

Fact #2 : Peru Declared Health Emergency On July 8

On 26 June 2023, the National Center for Epidemiology, Prevention, and Disease Control (CDC) of Peru issued an epidemiological alert (PDF download) announcing an increase in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) cases across the country.

For the first 27 epidemiological weeks in 2023, 191 cases of GBS were reported, with 77 cases confirmed. Four deaths were reported – 1 in January, 1 in March, and two in May. Here was the breakdown:

58.6% (112 cases) were males between 2 and 86 years, with an average age of 41
40.3% (77 cases) were adults between 30 and 59 years
26.7% (51 cases) were senior citizens 60 years and older
19.9% (38 cases) were children under 17 years of age

On 8 July 2023, Peru issued a national Health Emergency decree, which authorises:

The implementation of an action plan that includes financing for the provision of strategic resources in health, including the acquisition of human immunoglobulin as part of the treatment of patients with Guillain Barré syndrome.
Intensification of surveillance, prevention, and response actions to possible cases.
Communication of risk to health professionals and issuance of key messages to the population to adopt preventive measures.
Advice, information, and guidance on Guillain Barré syndrome to health professionals and the general population.

Fact #3 : Peru Declared Similar Emergencies Pre-Pandemic

Globally, Guillain-Barré syndrome is considered a rare disease, with 1-2 cases per 100,000 people per year. However, it is surprisingly common in Peru, at least relatively to the rest of the world.

A country of 33 million people, Peru records 300 to 500 cases annually. The Peruvian government has previously declared similar health emergencies in 2018 and 2019. During the last 3 years, cases dropped – probably due to the lockdown and other COVID-19 health measures:

During the year 2020, 448 cases were reported nationally with a weekly average of 11 cases; in 2021, 210 cases were reported with a weekly average of 4 cases, and in 2022, 225 cases were reported with a weekly average of 4 cases.

This shows that Peru’s Guillain-Barré syndrome problem existed long before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, and certainly long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Fact #4 : Previous Outbreaks Were Due To Infections

Guillain-Barre syndrome is most commonly caused by infections. So it comes to no surprise that the previous outbreaks in Peru were found to be caused by infections:

2018 outbreak : An enterovirus transmitted mainly by the faecal-oral route
2019 outbreak : Campylobacter jejuni bacteria, of the ST2993 genotype

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a known complication of Campylobacter jejuni infections.

Fact #5 : Current Outbreaks Linked To Bacterial Infection

In the current 2023 outbreak, most patients presented with infections, or signs of infection:

24.1% (46 cases) : respiratory infection
23% (44 cases) : gastrointestinal infection
16.2% (31 cases) : fever

Samples were collected from those patients, and as of 10 July 2023, eleven cases were confirmed to be infected with Campylobacter jejuni – the same bacteria that caused the 2019 outbreak!

Just to be clear – neither the SARS-CoV-2 virus, nor the COVID-19 vaccine, can transform into Campylobacter jejuni bacteria.

And let me just repeat this – Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a known complication of Campylobacter jejuni infections.

Fact #6 : GBS Caused By Vaccine Is Rare

Guillain-Barré syndrome can be caused by vaccination, but this is very rare. When it comes to COVID-19 vaccines, it has been associated with the AstraZeneca and Janssen vaccines – both using the virus vector method.

It is plausible for the adenovirus used by the two vaccines to trigger GBS. After all, the vaccine works by “infecting” our cells with the harmless adenovirus to deliver the necessary genetic code to create the COVID-19 spike protein.

However, the risk of developing Guillain-Barré syndrome with these virus vector vaccines are rare. With the Janssen vaccine, only about 100 suspected GBS cases were reported after 12.8 million people received the vaccine.

The risk of developing GBS with the AstraZeneca vaccine, on the other hand, is between 98 to 140 cases per million doses of the vaccine.

While it is possible that some of the GBS cases in Peru might be due to COVID-19 vaccination, they would be relatively few.

Fact #7 : Guillain-Barré syndrome Is Rapid In Onset

Regardless of the risk of developing GBS from COVID-19 vaccines, it is very unlikely that the current outbreak has anything to do with COVID-19 vaccination. That’s because Guillain-Barre syndrome is rapid-onset – it occurs quickly.

Most Peruvians received their COVID-19 vaccinations by end of May 2022. Therefore, it is impossible for their past COVID-19 vaccinations to surface a year later as Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Fact #8 : The People’s Voice Is A Fake News Website

The People’s Voice is the new name / brand for NewsPunch, which was forced to change its name because it has been so thoroughly discredited, its brand was worthless.

Like Real Raw News, NewPunch was a FAKE NEWS website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.
