Thi Kim Quy Ha et al. Pinus densiflora was screened in an ongoing project to discover anti-influenza candidates from natural products. An extensive phytochemical investigation provided 26 compounds, including two new megastigmane glycosides (1 and 2), 21 diterpenoids (3–23), and three flavonoids (24–26). The chemical structures were elucidated by a series of chemical reactions, including […]

Influenza Vaccination: Policy Versus Evidence

Tom Jefferson Each year enormous effort goes into producing influenza vaccines for that specific year and delivering them to appropriate sections of the population. Is this effort justified? Public policy worldwide recommends the use of inactivated influenza vaccines to prevent seasonal outbreaks. Because viral circulation and antigenic match vary each year and non-randomised studies predominate, […]

Vittorio Demicheli et al. We found 52 clinical trials of over 80,000 adults. We were unable to determine the impact of bias on about 70% of the included studies due to insufficient reporting of details. Around 15% of the included studies were well designed and conducted. We focused on reporting of results from 25 studies […]

(Influenza) Virus Gonna Virus

Alex Berenson We increased flu shots over 15-fold between 1980 and 2020. You’ll never BELIEVE what happened next! … There is absolutely no relationship between the number of flu “vaccines” we give and deaths from influenza. … Turns out the flu shot is just as useless as the Covid shot, but no one noticed because […]

Laura D. Manzanares-Meza and Oscar Medina-Contreras Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Alphainfluenzavirus are RNA viruses that cause coronavirus disease-19 and influenza, respectively. Both viruses infect the respiratory tract, show similar symptoms, and use surface proteins to infect the host. Influenza requires hemagglutinin and neuraminidase to infect, whereas SARS-CoV-2 uses protein S. Both […]

Influenza Virus and SARS-CoV-2: Pathogenesis and Host Responses in the Respiratory Tract

Tim Flerlage et al. Influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2: pathogenesis and host responses in the respiratory tract Influenza viruses cause annual epidemics and occasional pandemics of respiratory tract infections that produce a wide spectrum of clinical disease severity in humans. The novel betacoronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in December 2019 and has […]

Hossein Khorramdelazad et al. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been a global public health emergency since December 2019, and so far, more than 980,000 people (until September 24, 2020) around the world have died. SARS-CoV-2 mimics the influenza virus regarding methods and modes of transmission, clinical […]

Biggest Lie in World History: There Never Was a Pandemic. The Data Base is Flawed. The Covid Mandates including the Vaccine are Invalid

Michel Chossudovsky Destabilizing the social, political and economic structure of 190 sovereign countries cannot constitute a “solution” to combating the virus. But that was the imposed “solution” which was implemented in several stages from the very outset of the corona crisis in January 2020. It’s the destruction of people’s lives. It is the destabilization of […]
