[Breitbart] Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel offered his outlook on the coronavirus pandemic Thursday, maintaining the public health crisis could be over next year and things could return to normal.
When asked by the Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung when he thinks the pandemic will end, Bancel pointed to the widespread expansion of vaccination efforts, predicting there will be enough vaccine doses to vaccinate everyone by mid-2022.
"If you look at the industry-wide expansion of production capacities over the past six months, there should be enough doses by the middle of next year so that everyone on this earth can be vaccinated," he said, adding that they should "soon" be able to vaccinate children ages five to eleven and, eventually, those as young as six months old.

Nonsense. The pandemic will last until we have not just zero deaths, zero hospitalizations, but until there are zero cases.
In other words, forever.

W/O the Covid-19 Pandemic....
How will the Democrats demand and justify special voting processes that they can use to fudge the 2022 election votes.
Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin remarks on the latest Houthi offensive which threatens to encircle a number of Saudi troops.
[ColonelCassad] In recent days, the Houthis have made major operational advances in Marib.
As a result of a sudden offensive in southern Marib, the Houthis were actually able to break through the front, take Bayhan and reach the southern route, along which the entire Marib group of Saudis was supplied. Now it is practically cut off from the possibility of receiving reinforcements from the southern provinces, since the route has come under the control of the Houthis for a long distance. A rather large city of Harib was also taken. A large number of captured trophies are noted.
Now, the entire grouping is essentially hanging on one supply route going through the desert to the east. In addition, the troops defending the bulge in the south are under the threat of encirclement if the Houthis can advance along the route to the northwest. In addition, in front of the Houthis, when moving to the north, there are practically no troops and they operate here in free space, since the front is broken through to the full depth.
There is the option of a direct throw of light infantry to the north, in order to reach the key route from the south and cut off the entire Marib grouping from the supply (this is several tens of thousands of people), forming a grandiose cauldron.
It goes without saying that the Saudis can now be expected to hastily build barriers south of the highway and try to stop the Houthi advance by withdrawing some of the troops from a potential operational sack south of Marib. The Saudi Air Force's massive airstrikes did little to help the defenders.
Potential boiler in southern Marib. According to various estimates, units equivalent to 3-4 brigades may be surrounded there.
It can be stated that the Houthis, having failed in March-April to break through the front of the Saudis and Hadis to the west and north of Marib, changed the plate, carried out the necessary regrouping of troops and were able to find weaknesses in the formation of the enemy, having achieved a breakthrough of the positional front. This is the largest Houthi success since the successful part of the offensive west of Marib in February 2021.
Now in southern Marib, a serious operational crisis is developing, which, if successful, could have far-reaching consequences for the entire Yemeni war. It is also demonstrated once again that the Houthis have an operational initiative in the Yemeni War. Invaders and Hadists have been playing on defense since 2019.

[Medium] Written largely by the most prestigious British scientist of his day, this official report, containing hundreds of pages of evidence about the use of US biological weapons during the Korean War, was effectively suppressed upon its original release in 1952. This is an old libel against the US dating back to the Korean War itself.
The report mentioned is written by a British Sinophile, Joseph Needham under the auspices of the organization International Scientific Commission and funded by a Soviet front group, the World Peace Council.
Courtesy of researcher Jeffrey Kaye, INSURGE now publishes the report in text-searchable format for the first time for the general public, with an exclusive, in-depth analysis of its damning findings and implications.
The report provides compelling evidence of systematic violation of the laws of war against North Korea through the deployment of biological weapons — a critical context that is essential for anyone to understand the dynamics of current regional tensions, and what might be done about them. It is worth noting that the Soviets overran Harbin in 1945, where the actual experimentation of Japanese Unit 731 took place, and so had access to documents and materials for the germ warfare program the Japanese implemented.
In fact, the Soviets conducted war crime trials against the Japanese directly related to germ warfare in Khabarovsk in 1947.
The Soviets and the Chicoms were on very good terms in 1950 with the Soviet providing pilots for the Nork MiGs, so it is hard to imagine the Communist Koreans and the Chicoms did not have access to those materials as well.
In the report, it is mentioned a number of pathogens they claim the US used, including cholera, which has been a feature of every military conflict from the time of the Scythians up to and including the Yemeni Civil war. Cholera is a direct result of poor sanitation practices relating to contaminated food and water. It is not hard to start a cholera epidemic, but it is 100 percent preventable.
Some time a while back, I posted an historical article relating to Unit 731 to a personal website. You can read it here. You can read the original Russian source here.
[Trending Politics] Prosecutors lost a battle to keep some of the 14,000 hours of January 6 surveillance video that was accumulated by the FBI out of the public view. And much to anti-Trump Democrats’ chagrin, social media is already having a field day with it. Buzzfeed’s Zoe Tillman who broke the tough news:
Federal prosecutors on Tuesday released a new collection of Capitol surveillance videos from Jan. 6 after a judge ordered them to do so, rejecting the government’s argument that making the clips public could threaten the security of the complex.
The disclosure marks a setback for the US Capitol Police and the US attorney’s office in their efforts to control how much footage from the Capitol’s closed-circuit video (CCV) system gets out. In the latest case, prosecutors argued that revealing the location and vantage points of more cameras could help "bad actors" trying to plan some future assault on the building. A judge concluded that argument was too speculative, however, and that the public had a strong interest in seeing videos that formed the basis for a recent plea deal.
US District Chief Judge Beryl Howell ordered the videos released in response to a request from a media coalition (including BuzzFeed News) that is petitioning judges on a rolling basis for videos that prosecutors have relied on in Jan. 6 cases. Howell’s decision isn’t binding on other judges in the US District Court for the District of Columbia presiding over Capitol riot prosecutions, but it gives the media coalition a favorable ruling to point to in future fights.
When some of this video made its way into the hands of the public, everyone could see exactly why the prosecution didn’t want it to get out: It doesn’t fit the narrative of the ’deadly insurrection’ that the fake news media has been propagating. Watch for yourself:

Funny how all the violent clash video I've seen took place outside, but I get the impression the bulk of the arrested were arrested for going inside where all the footage is ridiculously peaceful.
[DailySignal] There’s one piece of the $3.5 trillion spending bill that the media is unlikely to tell you about—their bailout.
The massive, bloated $3.5 billion spending bill has so much pork that fiscal hawks could eat it for weeks. One piece that hasn’t received much attention yet is a special journalism “tax credit” equal to 50% of the salary of each journalist—up to $50,000 per journalist annually.
Yes, that’s correct, your tax dollars would be paying 50% of the salary of many journalists, whether you like their reporting or not.
Think of it as a way to turn every news outlet in America into a version of NPR.
Let’s be clear: "Saving" the media would destroy the media. How could we ever trust journalists to accurately cover the elected officials who voted against their funding? How can you “speak truth to power” when you’re also pleading with that power for cash? Which news outlets would get the funding, and which would be snubbed?
Any pretense of objectivity would be destroyed once the media is on the federal payroll.
And if you think the media is already hostile to conservatives, libertarians, Christians, business leaders, southerners, and basically anyone who didn’t love Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., dress from the Met Gala, just imagine the disdain they’ll show us once they’re funded by tax dollars. Also imagine the press coverage of any politician that dares to oppose renewing—or increasing—their funding.
The idea that Americans should be forced to financially support news outlets they don’t like is immoral, obnoxious, and a threat to both free markets and free speech. It’s also outrageous when one considers the proliferation of new media outlets that have already replaced these dinosaurs.
In 2021, most Americans are getting their news from independent podcasts, blogs, social media sites, and more. They compensate these journalists using new payment services like Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee, and GoFundMe. Last year Patreon alone paid out roughly $1 billion to creators.
Rather than using politicians to shake down taxpayers, why don’t these desperate journalists try to collect money voluntarily on Patreon?
This isn’t the first time progressives have tried to redistribute your tax dollars to their allies in the media.
A dedicated media bailout was initially proposed at the onset of the pandemic. First, news outlets lobbied Congress for a dedicated bailout. This was in addition to Payroll Protection Program cash that many local newspapers took advantage of.
The Seattle Times happily grabbed $9.9 million. The Tampa Bay Times, a hard-left newspaper, bagged $8.5 million. Many other newspapers did the same.
When this dedicated bailout failed to catch steam, their next proposal was to modify Payroll Protection Program rules so that large conglomerates like McClatchy would be allowed to qualify. Gannett deserves credit for opposing both efforts, and it wasn’t alone.
Our organization, Accuracy in Media, led the fight against both versions of the media bailout. Accuracy in Media activists sent emails, made phone calls, and even delivered 50,787 anti-bailout petitions to the office of then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress supported this bailout, but fortunately, McConnell responded to the petitions and blocked the proposal.

[LewRockwell] We get a lot of e-mails and private messages along these lines “do you have a source for X?” or “can you point me to mask studies?” or “I know I saw a graph for mortality, but I can’t find it anymore”. And we understand, it’s been a long 18 months, and there are so many statistics and numbers to try and keep straight in your head.
So, to deal with all these requests, we decided to make a bullet-pointed and sourced list for all the key points. A one-stop-shop.
Here are key facts and sources about the alleged “pandemic”, that will help you get a grasp on what has happened to the world since January 2020, and help you enlighten any of your friends who might be still trapped in the New Normal fog (click links to skip):
1. The survival rate of “Covid” is over 99%. Government medical experts went out of their way to underline, from the beginning of the pandemic, that the vast majority of the population are not in any danger from Covid. Read the rest at the link

#2, So true. They are losing the argument in the light of day. Desperation to hold the high ground. Such a waist of time and so much damage done. People are turning away from media, medical and politicians as I have seen in no other time in my life. It is fortunate that we still have an alternative media but I am certain that is their primary concern and target.
