NIH’s Latest Desperate Attempt to Incite Fear
The response to the Covid-19 pandemic revealed many concerning aspects of how government functions and how committed individuals and institutions are to maintaining their preferred narratives.
Truth, data, science, evidence…apparently none of those matter relative to the importance of ensuring the public complies with their desired behavior. Perhaps no single individual has been a better representation of the symbiotic relationship between government officials and media members, as well as their ceaseless commitment to ideological priorities, than Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fauci’s NIAID and its parent organization, the National Institutes of Health, have been two of the most prolific spreaders of ideologically motivated misinformation ever during the pandemic. But Fauci is no longer part of NIH, having departed for the considerable financial rewards available from the private sector.
So as a result of his timely exit, we must finally be witnessing improvements regarding government studies and communication, right? Right?
Not exactly.
Government Covid Misinformation Continues Unabated
A triumphant, breathless press release from the National Institutes of Health was just released in the past week covering a new study that claimed a horrifying new conclusion. Contracting Covid-19 once is bad, but God forbid you experience two bouts of the virus…It’s terrifying.
That’s their claim resulting from utilizing massive volumes of “health data” on over 200,000 Americans who they believe had Covid at least once over a two-and-a-half-year period from 2020-2022.
“Those individuals were originally infected between March 1, 2020-Dec. 31, 2022, and experienced a second infection by March 2023. Most participants (203,735) had Covid-19 twice, but a small number (478) had it three times or more,” the study says.
The conclusion, is at first glance, concerning.
“Using health data from almost 213,000 Americans who experienced reinfections, researchers have found that severe infections from the virus that causes COVID-19 tend to foreshadow similar severity of infection the next time a person contracts the disease. Additionally, scientists discovered that long COVID was more likely to occur after a first infection compared to a reinfection,” the NIH summary claims.
That sounds pretty bad. If you get infected a second time, you’re likely to experience a severe case of Covid. Right?
Except that is a completely inaccurate conclusion based on the limited data presented.
“About 27% of those with severe cases, defined as receiving hospital care for a coronavirus infection, also received hospital care for a reinfection. Adults with severe cases were more likely to have underlying health conditions and be ages 60 or older. In contrast, about 87% of those who had mild Covid cases that did not require hospital care the first time also had mild cases of reinfections,” the researchers write.
And there’s the real story, hidden in plain sight.
We know from years of experience that Covid significantly impacts those who are in poor health, have underlying conditions, or are older AND in poor health. We also know that a very small percentage of Covid cases require treatment in a hospital setting.
All this study shows is that those who are in poor health, have underlying conditions, or are older, are more likely to need additional care if they get Covid a second time. Even then, 73% of those who had a second infection and were hospitalized the first time did not need hospitalization for the second infection. Sure enough, the vast, vast majority of those who had mild Covid cases the first time had mild Covid cases the second time.
The protection from natural immunity is highly important and generally durable, though less so when an individual with poor underlying health has contracted the virus. This is nothing new. But that didn’t stop the new head of the NIH from spouting some impressive fear-mongering and bad science.
NIH Can’t Stop Getting Things Wrong
Dr. Monica Bertagnolli posted a link to the study on X, and a short summary. She repeated the same line about the severity of Covid reinfections, which were intended to undermine the importance of natural immunity.
And more importantly, she claimed that the results underscore “the importance of preventing infection.”
After analyzing data from 200K Americans who had #COVID19 twice, researchers found that a severe #COVID case tended to foreshadow a similarly severe infection the second time, underscoring the importance of preventing infection[.]
Except that’s an impossibility. SARS-CoV-2 is an endemic virus. It will never be eliminated. It will never be stopped. Infection cannot be avoided. Vaccinations don’t prevent it, masks surely are ineffective, and any public interaction may result in an infection.
There simply is no way to prevent infection, which is why some countries have now reported that roughly 70% of their population, even with masking and vaccination, have tested positive. Telling those at risk to try to avoid infection is irresponsible and inaccurate. So why is this coming from the NIH?
Sure enough, these researchers also accidentally made the case for natural immunity. When studying the nonexistent phenomenon of “long Covid,” they found that those who had typical, longer-lasting effects from viral infections had bigger reactions after their first infection.
“Scientists also discovered that regardless of the variant, long Covid cases were more likely to occur after a first infection compared to a reinfection,” the study says.
Why is that? Because of natural immunity.
Under Anthony Fauci, they spent years downplaying it. They continue to undermine it in 2024. But the reality and the science continue to prove that natural immunity is protective and durable, and this is especially true for those in good health and younger age groups. Imagine if government agencies had been willing to admit this in 2020 instead of pointlessly locking down all of society in order to somehow prevent a virus that cannot be prevented.
That would have been the correct evaluation and communication.
But since when have government agencies handled a single aspect of Covid correctly?
BOMBSHELL: Secret Service Told To Stand Down In Butler, Pennsylvania, Says Trump Event Head
Live: FBI Director Wray Grilled By Congress Over Trump Assassination Attempt
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday on the bureau’s investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally on July 13.
Wray faced uncomfortable questions about the failures of the Secret Service, FBI and local government officials to protect Trump from a sniper who shot him from a nearby rooftop.
Wray revealed several shocking details of the security failures ahead of the attempted assassination of President Trump, including that would-be assassin Thomas Crooks flew a drone over the rally area in Butler, PA on the day of the shooting for 11 minutes just two hours before Trump took the stage.

Wray also suggested Crooks acted alone based on evidence found on his phone.
“We’re doing lots of different kinds of cellular analysis, geolocation stuff, looking at his accounts,” Wray said. “From everything we’ve seen—which is consistent with what we’ve learned in interviews—a lot of people describe him as a loner, and that does kind of fit with what we’re seeing in his devices.”

Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) asked Wray why the Secret Service denied Trump additional resources when requested and why did officials initially deny that request was ever put forward.
“Prior to the rally, why was the President’s security detail denied requests for extra resources? Why weren’t all the buildings secured? Why was the President allowed to walk out on the stage when there was a suspicious person on the property?” he asked.

When asked by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) whether any FBI agents expressed displeasure over the fact that Trump survived the assassination attempt, Wray answered that there were at least two instances of such behavior by FBI agents, who were then “referred” for disciplinary action.

WWIII Alert: Ukraine Lies, Claims Russian Kamikaze Drone Struck NATO Member Romania
Ukrainian media outlets on Wednesday reported a Russian kamikaze drone entered NATO airspace and exploded in a Romanian village.
“Three Russian Shahed Drones Strike Romania,” a Kyiv Post headline alarmingly stated.
The accusation was widely echoed on social media, along with footage of the massive explosion.

However, just hours after writing, “Russian drones struck targets in Romania early Wednesday morning,” the Kyiv Post admitted Romanian officials didn’t confirm the drone landed in their territory.
It seems as if the drones used in the Russian attack all landed the Ukrainian city of Izmail, which borders Romania.
Even if the drone did land in Romania, the Post acknowledged, “Kremlin strike planners probably didn’t intend to hit a NATO member.”
The outlet’s sources were individuals within Ukraine’s Security and Defense Sector.
According to Newsweek, “Romanian teams are searching for ‘possible objects’ on Romania’s side of the border around the village of Plauru, Bucharest said. Plauru is across the border from the Ukrainian port town of Izmail, separated by the Danube River.”
Even pro-Ukraine X account Daractenus admitted, “It doesn’t look like any debris from a drone hit Romanian territory.”
Last night, Russia again decided to hit a Ukrainian port (and in good Russian fashion hit a residential building as well) located just 400 meters away from Romania, a NATO country.

Louisiana Teens Killed in DUI Crash With Underage ‘Illegal Alien’ Way Over Legal Limit – Officials
A young couple was killed in a head-on collision with a Honduran teen who was nearly seven times the blood alcohol limit and is in the U.S. illegally, according to Louisiana authorities.
The horrific crash unfolded just after 1 a.m. on Sunday in Lafourche Parish, LA.
Louisiana State Police (LSP) troopers responded to the scene of a fatal two-vehicle wreck on Highway 3090 near Port Fourchon.
There they found four injured passengers inside a Kia Rio and an uninjured male teen inside a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The driver of the Jeep was identified as 18-year-old Axel Flores-Cordova, a citizen of Honduras.
The driver of the Kia was identified as Rylan Oncale, 18, and his front seat passenger was reportedly his 18-year-old girlfriend, Taliyah Crochet. Both were wearing seatbelts, authorities say.
Investigators believe the Jeep driven by Flores-Cordova drifted across the center lane, ultimately slamming head-on into the Kia.
Crochet was pronounced deceased at the scene. Oncale was rushed to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Two unidentified passengers in the rear of the Kia were treated for moderate injuries.

“Troopers determined Flores-Cordova to be impaired and placed him under arrest. He provided a voluntary breath sample, which revealed a blood alcohol concentration nearly seven times over the underage legal limit,” LSP explained in a press release.
“He was booked into the Lafourche Parish Detention Center on two counts of vehicular homicide, two counts of first degree vehicular negligent injuring, DWI first offense, open alcoholic container in vehicle, driving left of center, no driver’s license, and no seatbelt.”
Additionally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer against Flores-Cordova.
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) released a statement on Tuesday confirming Flores-Cordova is illegally present in the U.S.

Revival Pastor: Trump Must Lift Up Jesus Christ to Save the United States
‘Divine Intervention’: Jake, Logan Paul Credit God for Saving Trump From Assassination
YouTuber and boxing champion Jake Paul threw his support behind former President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, saying God spared his life to bring America back to greatness.
Discussing the recent assassination attempt on the former president in the latest episode of Impaulsive, Jake and his brother Paul credited God with saving Trump.
“I think there would have been a civil war if it had hit him,” Jake said of the would-be assassin’s errant bullet. “But I think that’s the divine intervention. For sure, I believe that God stepped in and saved him.”

“It’s funny,” Logan added, “Like, we saw the action of God right in front of our eyes.”
Paul went on to say Trump’s brush with death should encourage Democrats to switch sides and support the former president, who God is intervening to save.
It’s quite literally, ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,’ and I think that’s also probably why God had this exact situation happen because he saw the path we were going down with — and I’m not gonna say it’s Democrat or Republican, it’s the people who are running the government now — the path that they were leading us down was going to be catastrophic and terrible, and I think God really intervened. Like, we need this guy right now. Everyone needs to flip sides. We can’t have a close election, we need a landslide, we need this guy [Trump] to come back in and Make America Great Again.
In another segment of the show, the pair attempted to outbid each other for the hat worn by Trump during the assassination attempt.
“Tell Trump, $2 million for the hat he was wearing for the attempted assassination and my full endorsement,” Logan said, adding, “Not that he needs it.”
“That’s your bid? My bid’s $3 million,” Jake shot back, prompting a bidding war which concluded with the Pauls agreeing to split a bid of $12 million.

While Trump regularly attends UFC matches, he commented on Jake Paul’s highly anticipated fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson, slated for Nov. 15, saying, “Look, Mike was fantastic but, you know, Mike’s a little older now and you guys can fight. You can legitimately fight.”
Interestingly, Tyson himself has also pledged to vote for Trump.
