No Evidence Anyone Should Get COVID Vaccines, UK Mathematician

When COVID-19 vaccines were being produced, the UK government employed an over-purchasing approach to ensure sufficient supply even if one or more of them failed to work. However, there is no evidence to suggest that anyone should get COVID vaccines, according to a UK mathematician.

A British mathematician has stated that there is no longer any evidence to support the recommendation that anyone receive the COVID-19 vaccine as the UK government launches yet another booster campaign in advance of the winter season.

The vaccines could perhaps benefit those at danger of severe illnesses and death from COVID-19, according to Norman Fenton, professor of risk and information management at Queen Mary University of London and director of risk assessment software firm Agena, although he no longer sees “any evidence at all that anybody should get vaccinated” in light of more recent statistics.

Fenton is a member of the UK academics’ Health Advisory and Recovery Team (HART), which criticizes the government’s handling of the pandemic.

Dr. Clare Craig, a diagnostic pathologist and HART group member, urged the government to “get realistic,” adding that individuals cannot be expected to be injected “at great expense every six months,” and that “pushing another vaccination campaign will just ramp up...

If you watched Joe Biden’s primetime speech on Thursday, you would have seen him insist that anyone who questions the results of an election is a “threat to our democracy.”

“Democracy cannot survive when one side believes that there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated,” he claimed. “And that’s where MAGA Republicans are today.”

Conveniently absent from his speech was the acknowledgment that Democrats have a long history of believing that the only two outcomes of an election are when they win or the election was stolen—including himself.

In 2020, when a supporter of his told him she thought Trump was an illegitimate president, he agreed. In 2013, he also said he believed that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election that he actually lost.

Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, also said that Trump was an illegitimate president.

Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, also believes the 2016 election was stolen from Hillary.

On top of that his own chief of staff, Ron Klain, still believes that the 2000 election was “stolen” from Al Gore.

“People frequently tell me that I should ‘get over’ the 2000 election and recount. I haven’t, and I don’t think I ever will,” he tweeted back in 2019.

Yet Joe Biden stood at Independence Hall last week and declared roughly half the country a threat to our democracy for questioning the results of the 2020 election — an election thrown into chaos by COVID-19 restrictions and rife with accusations of fraud and irregularities.

It’s nothing new to question the results of an election. Democrats have been getting away with it for years. Just watch the following clip:

But only Republicans are a “threat to democracy” for the “crime” of questioning the results of...

Judge Suspends DOJ Investigation of Trump, Grants Special Master Request

A federal judge on Monday granted former President Donald Trump’s request that a special master review items the FBI seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and also halted the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) use of the items for “investigative purposes.”

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump-appointed judge, ruled that a special master will be appointed to review the seized items to determine if any are personal items or items subject to claims of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege.

Cannon also ruled that the DOJ must suspend its use of Trump’s items for “investigative purposes” while the special master conducts its review, but also noted that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence could continue its “classification review and/or intelligence assessment.”

Cannon wrote that the court was “mindful of the need to ensure at least the appearance of fairness and integrity under the extraordinary circumstances presented” in granting Trump’s request.

She added that there was a risk of the DOJ leaking materials that would cause harm to the former president.

“In addition to being deprived of potentially significant personal documents, which alone creates a real harm, Plaintiff faces an unquantifiable potential harm by way of improper disclosure of sensitive information to the public,” Cannon wrote.

The decision comes after the DOJ objected to Trump’s request for the special master.

The DOJ last week urged against Trump’s request, arguing it was “unnecessary and would significantly harm important governmental interests, including national security interests.”

Trump’s lawyers had filed a motion for the special master about two weeks after the Mar-a-Lago raid, characterizing the raid as political in nature rather than fair.

“Law enforcement is a shield that protects Americans. It cannot be used as a weapon for political purposes,” Trump’s motion said. “Therefore, we seek judicial assistance in the aftermath of an unprecedented and unnecessary raid on President Trump’s home at...
