Researchers Debate Infecting People on Purpose to Test Coronavirus Vaccines | 01 July 2020 | One way to quickly see if a coronavirus vaccine works would be to immunize healthy people and then deliberately expose them to the virus, some researchers are suggesting. Proponents say this strategy, called a human challenge trial, could save time because rather than conducting tests the usual way -- by waiting for vaccinated people to encounter the virus naturally -- researchers could just infect them. Challenge trials have been used to test vaccines for typhoid, cholera, malaria and other diseases... But there were so-called rescue medicines to cure those who got sick. There is no cure for Covid-19. For both ethical and practical reasons, the idea of challenge trials for a coronavirus vaccine has provoked fierce debate. [As long as they start with Gates and Fauci.]

Trump Issues Executive Order to Rebuild Non-Confederate Monuments That Have Been Torn Down by Protesters | 04 July 2020 | Ahead of the Fourth of July weekend, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that would create a new national park to display statues and monuments dedicated to "American Heroes," including those that have been torn down by protesters in the past month. The order lists specific criteria and examples of either names of potential persons to be honored or events from which historically significant persons may be honored, such as the "discovery of America" or the "abolition of slavery." Neither the Confederacy nor the Civil War are mentioned in the order. In the past month, statues of George Washington, Christopher Columbus, and even Abraham Lincoln have been destroyed, as well as monuments dedicated to abolitionists and Africa-American soldiers. It is these statues and monuments Trump said he wanted to restore and preserve.

New Hydroxychloroquine Study Vindicates President Trump and Should End Dr. Fauci's Career at NIAID and in Medicine | 03 July 2020 | A new Hydroxychloroquine study conducted by Henry Ford Health System revealed hydroxychloroquine successfully lowered the death rate among hospitalized COVID-19 patients by a significant margin. According to Just The News, the use of hydroxychloroquine cut the mortality rate of coronavirus victims in half. The study examined 2,541 patients who had been hospitalized in six hospitals between March 10 and May 2, 2020. More than twenty-six percent (26.4%) of patients who did not receive hydroxychloroquine died. But among those who received hydroxychloroquine, fewer than half that number -- 13% -- died. More than 90% of the patients received hydroxychloroquine within 48 hours of admission to the hospital. Scientists say giving the drug early during illness may be a key to success.

New polls in the US, Germany, Czech Republic - among others - found that up to half may not take coronavirus vaccine | 04 July 2020 | Up to half of the populations in countries including the United States, Germany and the Czech Republic say they may not get any new [deadly] coronavirus vaccine that is developed. In the United States, a number of polls have shown that only around 50 per cent are committed to getting a coronavirus vaccine. In Germany, a poll this week by YouGov found that only one in two Germans would definitely get vaccinated if there was a jab available, and one in five said they definitely would not.  A protest was held in Ukraine on Friday over the potential for compulsory coronavirus vaccinations. [Excellent!] Dr. Jiří Černý, a leading virologist at the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague, the Czech Republic - where recent research found that only 49 per cent of people would take a coronavirus vaccine - said mandatory vaccination should be considered.

"This monument will never be desecrated," Trump declared to cheers and applause. "These heroes will never be defaced. Their legacy will never, ever be destroyed. Their achievements will never be forgotten. And Mount Rushmore will stand forever as an eternal tribute to our forefathers and to our freedom." The president asserted that recent attacks on the nation's monuments, alongside "cancel culture" and the rise of the Marxist ideology of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, were symptoms of a "left-wing cultural revolution" that was threatening to "overthrow the American Revolution." BLM explicitly advocates the destruction of the "nuclear family structure," which Trump said was in fact the "bedrock of American life."

Copenhagen's Little Mermaid branded 'racist fish' in graffiti attack --Expert on Hans Christian Andersen says it is ‘hard to see what is racist’ about fairytale | 03 July 2020 | The statue of the Little Mermaid in the entrance to Copenhagen harbour has been daubed with the words "racist fish". Protesters have variously knocked the mermaid off her perch, beheaded her, lopped off an arm and poured paint over her. Copenhagen police said no one had claimed responsibility for the latest assault. "We consider it vandalism and have started an investigation," a spokesman said. Visited by a million tourists a year, the statue, designed by the sculptor Edvard Eriksen and modelled on his wife, Eline, was created as a tribute to the celebrated fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen about a mythical sea king's mermaid daughter who falls in love with a prince and longs to become human.

'Little Mermaid' Statue in Copenhagen Branded 'Racist Fish' | 03 July 2020 | It will be incidents like this that will eventually do in Black Lives Matter and the mob witch hunters looking to sniff out "racism" wherever it hides -- or anyone thinks it. The "Little Mermaid" statue in Copenhagen, depicting Hans Christian Anderson’s beloved little girl sitting on a rock, fins and all, was vandalized with the epithet “racist fish,” according to Danish authorities. A million people visit the statue every year and Anderson’s story has been immortalized in two Walt Disney movies. But that didn't stop the racial-police mob from attacking it.

Hsu stepped down from his vice president role on June 19 after pressure from the union and the president of the university, Samuel Stanley. Hsu will stay on as a physics professor at Michigan State, however.
