Virologica Sinica is
an international journal which aims at presenting the cutting-edge
research on viruses all over the world. The journal publishes
peer-reviewed original research articles, reviews, and letters to the
editor, to encompass the latest developments in all branches of
virology,
In February 2022, Virologica Sinica published a recent gain of
function research project performed by scientists at the Wuhan Institute
of Virology in August 2021 while the COVID-19 pandemic was still raging
around the world.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology assembled a monkeypox virus genome,
allowing the virus to be identified through PCR tests, using a method
researchers flagged for potentially creating a “contagious pathogen,”
The National Pulse can reveal.
The
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation dished out nearly $4
million in consulting payments to its board secretary, co-founder
Patrisse Cullors' brother, and the father of Cullors' child.
BLM
Global Network, the movement's primary nonprofit, paid $2.1 million to
Bowers Consulting, a firm run by Shalomyah Bowers, the foundation's
board secretary, between July 2020 and June 2021, according to tax forms
the BLM Global Network Foundation provided to the Associated Press.
The nonprofit also pushed $1.8 million to individuals with close ties to Cullors, who stepped away from the group last year.

Damon Turner, the father of Cullors' child, and $840,000 to Cullors
Protection LLC, a security firm owned by her brother, Paul Cullors, the
tax forms show.
The AP report also confirms that the foundation had used its funds to purchase a $6 million Los Angeles mansion, which came under fire following a New York Magazine report.
BLM Global Network hauled in $77 million in contributions during its 2021 fiscal year, and it ended it with $42 million in assets, the tax forms show. It handed out $25 million in grants.

Patrisse Cullors did not receive any payments directly from the organization or to her consulting firm, according to the forms.
On
Monday morning, Fox News Digital attempted to obtain the tax forms from
the Elias Law Group, a firm helmed by Democratic superlawyer Marc
Elias. Elias's firm, which previously had possession of BLM's books,
denied Fox News Digital access to its office. The firm also refused to
send anyone downstairs to the lobby.
Fox
News Digital also visited the office of Rubino & Company in
Bethesda, Maryland, a financial preparer for the BLM Global Network, but
was denied records and directed to the organization itself.

Fox
News Digital also requested the records directly with BLM Global
Network Foundation and Perlman + Perlman, a Mesa, Arizona-based law
firm, which appears in state filings as having its books, but did not
receive responses.
The
new tax forms are the first look inside BLM Global Network's finances.
The organization was previously fiscally sponsored and did not have to
report tax forms to the IRS, but broke away into its own legal entity in
2020.
BLM Global Network Foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the consulting payments.
Death inevitably follows pandemics, and it has been especially
prevalent throughout the past two years, thanks to the Fauci-funded
genetically modified virus that escaped from the Wuhan Lab in late 2019.
Despite the mass rollout of a vaccine, in which the majority of the population
was compelled into taking the jab, excess deaths in the US remain at
all-time highs over a year after the “cure” was introduced, and the
numbers continue to get worse – especially for young Americans.

All while deaths from Covid itself are bottoming out.
So what is going on? The majority of people have taken their jabs, the virus has a 99.95-99.99% recovery rate for most, and Fauci himself said last month that we are moving out of the pandemic phase. What gives?
Well, according to Dr. Peter McCullough, the most published
Cardiologist in history, the answer is unequivocally clear: the spike in
death, which perfectly coincides with the rollout of the experimental
jab, is the obvious culprit.
“It’s beyond any shadow of a doubt that the vaccines are causing a large number of deaths,” McCullough proclaimed in a recent interview with the ‘On a Mission Podcast.’
Can’t put it any clearer than that.
McCullough, who’s also an epidemiologist, isn’t just spouting off
wild baseless claims. He explained his reasoning behind his shocking
conclusion by walking through the “Bradford Hill Tenets of Causality,” in order to demonstrate the link between the vaccines and the current wave of excess deaths.
The Bradford Hill Tenets
are widely considered to be the standard when evaluating cause and
effect. It is regularly used in public health research and is defined as
“a group of nine principles that can be useful in establishing
epidemiologic evidence of a causal relationship between a presumed cause
and an observed effect, according to Wikipedia.
From McCullough:
“I’m an epidemiologist, and people have asked me: ‘Dr. McCullough, are the vaccines actually causing deaths?’
The epidemiological construct that we have to go through is
called the ‘Bradford Hill Tenets of Causality.’ So, the first question
is: ‘is it a large epidemiologic signal?’ And I’ll tell you – it’s
astronomical. All of the vaccines combined in the United States per year
– its no more than 150 deaths, not temporally related.
Here [with the Covid vaccine] we are at over 21,000 deaths. So clearly its a massive signal.
Number two: ‘is there a dangerous mechanism of action?’ The
answer is yes. We know the vaccines have a dangerous mechanism of action
– they install production of the spike protien. The spike protein is
what makes the respiratory infection lethal, and it follows that in some
people excessive production of the spike protein in a vulnerable person
would be lethal after a vaccine.
Advertisement - story continues below
The third criteria: ‘is it internally consistent? Are there other
conditions that are now acknowledged that they themselves could be
fatal?’ And the answer is sure. With myocarditis, the FDA agrees – all
the regulatory experts agree – that the vaccines cause myocarditis. Can
it be fatal? Yes. Have there been fatal cases published? Yes… There are
over 200 peer reviewed publications of myocarditis.
How about other forms of death? vaccine induced thrombosis, blood
clots, stroke, hypertension, myocardial infection – a variety of other
lethal syndromes. There’s over 1,000 peer reviewed published on fatal
and non fatal outcomes [in regard to the Covid vaccine]. So that
cryteria is met. It’s internally consistent.
After briefly running through the rest of the tenants, McCullough sums it up and doesn’t pull any punches.
“I’ve just gone through the exercise – “it is beyond any shadow of a doubt that the vaccines are causing large numbers of deaths,” McCullough concludes. “It’s unequivocal, and I’m a card-carrying epidemiologist. I’m telling you, the vaccines are causing large numbers of deaths,” he repeated with emphasis.
WATCH:
As McCullough has warned previously, the damages from this vaccine
will linger for years to come. These people who pushed it are criminals
and need to be held accountable for this evil.
HUGE: Former AG
Barr Stopped Investigations into Trailer Load of 288,000 Ballots into PA
from New York in 2020 Election – Barr Refused to Provide Whistleblower
Protection – Now the USPS Won’t Provide Investigation Report – What
Gives?
Sometimes there are too many uncertainties and obvious red flags for an issue to go unnoticed. This is one of those times.
Truck driver Jesse Morgan moved mail for the US Postal Service and
came out after the election and shared his story of how he hauled tens
of thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020
Election. We reported on this in December 2020.
We learned in the summer of 2021 that former US Attorney General Bill Barr ordered the US Attorney
in Eastern Pennsylvania to stop investigating 2020 Election issues in
the state and turn any issues over to the Democrat Pennsylvania Attorney
General. This would have included the reports of approximately 288,000
ballots entering Pennsylvania on a semi-trailer from New York.
US Attorney William McSwain shared with President Trump, in part:
This past week, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer discussed the Jesse
Morgan story and the work he and others performed to vet the story after
the 2020 Election. Shaffer said that after his team fully vetted
Morgan, he decided to move forward with the story. He contacted his
friends in law enforcement to get them on board with further
investigating the matter. When former AG Bill Barr heard the news he
called Tony, screamed at him, and told Tony to stop his investigation.
Barr claimed it interfered with an FBI investigation. Tony was shortly
thereafter removed from the investigation.
Tony explained that he wanted to give Mr. Morgan whistleblower status but Barr wouldn’t hear it. Shaffer shared with us:
And I would argue that he broke the law by refusing to accept that as a premise of him going in [to the FBI to discuss what he saw and knows]…
… So the next thing you know I’m gone off the investigation, Morgan
is turned over and he goes away, never to be heard from again.
We next heard the following day in an interview with attorney Tom King in Pennsylvania that the investigation into this issue was moved to the USPS (United States Postal Service) since the event included US mail.
In our article, Attorney Tom King reported on the current status of
this matter. King says that he was made aware of Jesse Morgan after the
2020 Election.
I was involved in that case and we worked directly with the US Attorney Bill McSwain who is now a candidate for governor… We
got the truck driver over to the FBI offices in DC and to date we have
met nothing but resistance from the postal authorities to release the
report done by the postal police and the FBI. We’re close to getting it but that’s still unresolved as I speak to you today…
… We not only cooperated fully but I spoke on numerous occasions with
Bill McSwain, the state’s attorney appointed by President Trump for the
Eastern portion of Pennsylvania.
We ask – Why was this event buried and why is it still being buried? Crimes potentially took place to bury this event.
On Wednesday, the Russian Ministry of Defence presented what it claims is evidence of a US DOD bioweapons program in Ukraine (Gateway reported).
Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, Chief of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical
Protection of the Russian Army, claimed to have evidence the US and
Ukraine were working on means to deliver biological weapons to Donbass
and Russia via drone.
Kirillov presented a request by the Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer
Motor-Sich to the Turkish maker of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
Bayraktar dated Dec. 15, 2021. Motor-Sich inquired whether Bayraktar
drones possess “an aerosol spraying system/mechanism with a capacity
exceeding 20 liters?”, to which Bayraktar replied “No”.
Motor-Sich also inquired “Is it capable of achieving a range of 300
km?” This would put major Russian and Belorussian cities such as Rostov,
Kursk and Minsk within range. Kirillov called this “a real threat of
large-scale use of biological weapons on the territory of the Russian
Federation.”
Kirillov also pointed out that the US government had granted patents
to drone systems capable of delivering bioweapons attacks, such as the
“Toxic Mosquito” aerial release system, patented on March 3, 2015 by
TMARS Associates in Manassas, Virginia (US Patent 8,967,029).
The patent describes the Toxic Mosquito as “a device for aerial
release of mosquitoes” including a “mosquito breeding bin” and “a
mosquito food housed within the mosquito breeding bin; a toxin within
the mosquito food, the toxin suitable to be transmitted by mosquito
bite.”
The patent notes that “a mosquito delivery system for lethal and
non-lethal applications is not available. If such a delivery system
enabling legal non-lethal uses were available, it could later be adapted
for military uses should legal restraints be altered or eliminated.”
Thus, the patent notes that military use is currently illegal. However, such military use is overtly implied by the patent:
“Throughout military history, the health of one’s troops has
always been an important determining factor. Soldiers on the ground can
only properly function if they are not ill, sick, or dying from a deadly
virus or pathogen. A soldier, whose immune system is trying to fight a
bug or pathogen, will have no energy or ability to fight other soldiers.
Sickness can be a very valuable military tool that can be more
devastating than the most up-to-date military guns and equipment. Since
making the enemy troops sick is an important military objective, one
must then look at what means are available to get the pathogens, germs,
and viruses to the enemy.”
Under “Advantageous Effects of Invention”, the patent notes that “enemy
troops can now be wiped out or rendered useless without having to risk
or endanger our own troops. The toxic mosquito aerial release system is
extremely low cost and can easily accomplish what a billion dollars in
medical interventions and airstrikes cannot do. The mosquitoes in the
toxic mosquito aerial release system can be contaminated with various
types of genetically altered bacteria to activate the immune system, or
contaminated with toxic sickness agents depending on the objectives.
For military purposes, the mosquitoes may be used to deliver an
agent such as malaria to create sickness, or they could use much more
toxic or highly contagious agents and viruses. A highly contagious virus
could wipe out 100% of the enemy troops because the ones that did not
get bitten will be contaminated by their fellow soldiers. The toxic
mosquito aerial release system is a new and needed technology. It is a
way to administrative curative or immunological injection, to administer
calmative agents, or to administer deadly disease to wipe out and
disable the enemy at a minimal cost.
For use in conflict, there is no longer the need to spend
countless billions of dollars and to destroy entire areas with bombing,
and to wound or sacrifice our bravest and finest soldiers. When it comes
down to the hell of war or the miraculous, beautiful technology of a
mosquito, the choice will be easy to make.”
Attacks on Donbas?
Russia claims the “People’s Republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk may
already have been subjected to biological weapons attacks. Speaking to
the United Nations Security Council on March 18, Russian representative Vassily Nebenzia
stated that “we already see alarming signs of such threat. For example,
a sharp increase in cases of tuberculosis caused by new multi-resistant
strains was detected among citizens living in Luhansk and Donetsk
People’s Republics in 2018. During a mass outbreak recorded in the area
of Peski settlement, more than 70 cases of the disease were detected,
which ended in a rapid fatal outcome. This does not look like a
coincidence.”
Russia did not present any evidence the Toxic Mosquito or similar US UAVs have been used in Ukraine. In March, the Biden administration announced
it would provide “100 tactical unmanned aerial systems” to Ukraine. The
neo-Nazi Azov Battalion in Mariupol has been noted for its extensive arsenal of high-tech drones
in Europe’s poorest country, leading many observers to conclude the
drones may have been supplied by the West. The Ukrainian military even
held mock “Oscars” awards for
the best war footage, including drone videos. The “international award”
went to Turkey’s $5 million Bayraktar TB2 drones, which have been used
in airstrikes on Russian forces.
Russia is now calling for an international inquiry into the US-Ukraine bioresearch program.
Joe and Jill Biden on Saturday attended a commissioning ceremony for the USS Delaware, a nuclear attack submarine.
“As the commander-in-chief, I believe it is our sacred obligation as
nation to prepare and equip those troops that we send into harm’s way
and to care for them and their families when they return home,” Biden
said.
Biden bungled his speech and referred to Michelle Obama (or Jill Biden?) as “Vice President.”
“I’m deeply proud of the work [Jill is] doing as first lady with
Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she was
vice president,” Biden said.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE:
US Postal Service Refuses to Release Investigative Report on
Whistleblower Truck Driver Who Hauled 288,000 Suspicious Ballots Across
State Lines Before 2020 Election
Pennsylvania Attorney Tom King says that the United States
Postal Service refuses to provide the report from its investigation of
the semi-trailer full of ballots that went missing before the 2020
Election in the state.
In addition, the PA Supreme Court has yet to rule on
election cases involving Dominion machines used in Fulton County
Pennsylvania.
Joe Hoft from the TGP interviewed attorney Tom King from
Pennsylvania. Tom is from a family rich in history with the GOP and is
now assisting Fulton County in a couple of court cases related to the
2020 Election. Tom shared some breaking information on the status of
the USPS truck driver and whistleblower who reported to authorities that
he dropped off a trailer full of ballots in Pennsylvania before the
2020 Election.
Truck driver Jesse Morgan was the truck driver who moved mail for the
US Postal Service and who came out after the election and shared his
story of how he hauled tens of thousands of ballots from New York to
Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election. We reported on this in December
2020.
Yesterday, Lieutenant Colonel Tony
Shaffer discussed the Jesse Morgan story and the work he and others
performed to vet the story after the 2020 Election. Shaffer said that
after his team fully vetted Morgan, he decided to move forward with the
story. He contacted his friends in law enforcement to get them on board
with further investigating the matter. When former AG Bill Barr heard
the news he called Tony, screamed at him, and told Tony to stop his
investigation. Barr claimed it interfered with an FBI investigation.
Today attorney Tom King reported on the current status of this
matter. King says that he was made aware of Jesse Morgan after the 2020
Election.
I was involved in that case and we worked directly with the US Attorney Bill McSwain who is now a candidate for governor… We
got the truck driver over to the FBI offices in DC and to date we have
met nothing but resistance from the postal authorities to release the
report done by the postal police and the FBI. We’re close to getting it but that’s still unresolved as I speak to you today…
… We provided Jesse with legal counsel for the interview with the
FBI… We not only cooperated fully but I spoke on numerous occasions with
Bill McSwain, the state’s attorney appointed by President Trump for the
Eastern portion of Pennsylvania.
McSwain wrote President Trump a letter after the 2020 Election
expressing his challenges in investigating the election fraud because of
Bill Barr. This is where Jesse Morgan’s story played out according to
King.
King continued:
Here we sit in April of 2022 and we still don’t have the report. We’re persuing it and we’re going to get it eventually.
King confirmed that Jesse Morgan is still in Pennsylvania and is
still cooperating with King. Jesse has reported that certain people
haven’t even been interviewed yet by the FBI or USPS.
King then continued and reported on lawsuits involving Fulton County
and the state of PA. One case where the county is suing the state is
still with the Supreme Court. The PA Secretary of the Commonwealth
decertified the two election machines after the county performed an
audit after the 2020 Election. The state did this without looking at
the machines. The machines were never touched by the auditors.
Instead, the auditors did their work based on a copy of the machines
provided by the county.
Tom mentioned the county has only two machines and one wasn’t even
used in the election but the state decertified both the machines when it
heard about the county’s audit. The state then asked the county to pay
for new machines. When this occurred the county sued the state. This
case is with the Supreme court and has yet to be settled.
In another case the Supreme Court in the state allowed Dominion to
join the state in attempting to prevent a forensic audit of the two
machines in Fulton County. The state sued Fulton County when the Senate
arrived and asked to perform the audit on the machines held by the
county. Dominion and the state do now want this audit to take place.
The Supreme Court has yet to rule on this matter.
This is an incredible interview with King. Please see it below in its entirety.
Connecticut – A school nurse was suspended after revealing the school
worked at was secretly giving children puberty blockers behind their
parents’ backs.
77-year-old Kathleen Cataford was suspended by Hartford Public
Schools this week after she revealed the school secretly put an
11-year-old student on puberty blockers in a public comment on Facebook.
Advertisement - story continues below
“Investigate the school system curriculum…CT is a very socially
liberal, gender confused state,” the Facebook post read. “As a public
school nurse, I have an 11yo female student on puberty blockers and a
dozen identifying as non-binary, all but two keeping this as a secret
from their parents with the help of teachers, SSW [social workers] and
school administration.”
She continued, “Teachers and SSW are spending 37.5 hours a week
influencing our children, not necessarily teaching our children what YOU
think is being taught.”
A Connecticut school nurse has been suspended over a Facebook post
revealing that an 11 year-old at the school where she worked was on
puberty blockers.
Kathleen Cataford, who worked at the Richard J Kinsella Magnet School
in Hartford, was axed from her role Monday over the post, which was
branded transphobic.
Writing on a local mom’s group in response to a request for local
school recommendations, the 77 year-old said: ‘Investigate the school
system curriculum…CT is a very socially liberal, gender confused state,’
the post read.
It continued: ‘As a public school nurse, I have an 11yo female
student on puberty blockers and a dozen identifying as non-binary, all
but two keeping this as a secret from their parents with the help of
teachers, SSW [social workers] and school administration.
Cataford went on to claim that ‘children are introduced to this
confusion in kindergarten.’ DailyMail.com’s attempts to contact her
Tuesday were unsuccessful.
The post came to the attention of Hartford School District Officials
after the mother of the 11 year-old mentioned saw it, and flagged it to
school officials.
She confirmed its contents and the context in which the post was made
to DailyMail.com on Tuesday, but did not wish to comment further,
citing her child’s privacy.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is so disliked that she encouraged
the Boston City Council to create a law to curtail protesters at her
home during certain hours.
It’s hard to imagine why she is not more popular when she makes
disgusting comments about white people openly during her public
speeches.
Michael Knowles shared one moment from the mayor’s recent speech.The Boston Globe reports
that Wu is so dispised that she has protesters at her house almost
daily. In response, Wu proposed a bill prohibiting protesting after 9
pm and before 9 am. How American! The Antifa folks will love that.
Following
months of near-daily antivaccination demonstrations outside the
Roslindale home of Mayor Michelle Wu, the Boston City Council on
Wednesday adopted a controversial proposal to further restrict the hours
when protesters may target private residences with their
demonstrations.
The hotly
debated measure was introduced by Wu, who has framed the consistent,
early-morning ruckus as harassment, a feeling many of her neighbors in
the usually quiet part of the city share.But critics of the new
rules,including several who routinely picket outside the mayor’s home,
say the restrictions would unfairly curb First Amendment rights.
Wu is hated for many reasons. Recently she instituted a fee on
restaurant owners on the North Side of the city only. This move shows
the extreme measures Wu feels comfortable implementing. Per Boston.com:
Facing backlash from restaurateurs, Mayor Michelle Wu on Tuesday
formally announced flexible parameters for how the city will charge
North End restaurants seeking to open outdoor dining spaces this year.
Fees can be tailored to reflect operating schedules, so that
restaurants who do not want to open outdoor space for the entire season
will only pay for when they open outside.
You can tell Wu has never run a restaurant business before. What a piece of work. Nic job, Boston. You get what you vote for.
WASHINGTON
— An inspector general probe into the U.S. Postal Service surveillance
program, known as iCOP, concluded that the agency did not have the legal
authority to conduct the sweeping intelligence collection and
surveillance of American protesters and others between 2018 and 2021.
The
Postal Service Office of Inspector General launched an investigation
into iCOP — which stands for Internet Covert Operations Program — at the
request of Congress in direct response to reporting from Yahoo Newslast year.
“We
determined that certain proactive searches iCOP conducted using an
open-source intelligence tool from February to April 2021 exceeded the
Postal Inspection Service’s law enforcement authority,” the March 25,
2022, inspector general report stated.

“Furthermore,
we could not corroborate whether other work analysts completed from
October 2018 through June 2021 was legally authorized.”
The audit of the program was prompted by Yahoo News’ reportingthat
revealed the existence of the secret program, as well as its use of
facial recognition software and other sophisticated technology and
software to compile and disseminate reports on Americans’ online speech
and movements. A March 16, 2021, iCOP intelligence bulletin on American
protesters was widely circulated by the Department of Homeland Securityto state, local and federal law enforcement agencies nationwide.
Yahoo News’ reporting on the program prompted outrage from lawmakers and constitutional experts, who questioned whetherthe
post office had the legal authority to target and collect information
on U.S. citizens not suspected of any crime and with no connection to
the post office.
In April 2021, Yahoo News revealed the existence of theiCOP
surveillance, which used analysts to trawl the internet looking for
“inflammatory” posts about nationwide Black Lives Matter protests. A
series of follow-up reports revealedfurther detailsabout the program, which had been operating without the oversight or even the knowledge of Congress.(Yahoo News has filed its own lawsuit to obtain additional records related to iCOP.)
“The
Oversight Committee requested this report because of our significant
concerns about intelligence activities conducted by the Postal Service
Inspection Service’s analytics team related to First Amendment
activity," Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y, who chairs the House Oversight
Committee, told Yahoo News in a Thursday statement. "The inspector
general’s audit makes clear that the committee’s concerns were
justified, and that the use of open-source intelligence by the analytics
team ‘exceeded the Postal Inspection Service’s law enforcement
authority.’"

George Floyd on May 24, 2021, in St. Paul, Minn. (Kerem Yucel/AFP via

Using sophisticated technology and software,iCOP
was running keyword searches like “protest” on social media to collect
online speech about a host of different events that contained no threats
and had nothing to do with the Postal Service’s work.
The
inspector general report notes that in April 2021 Postal Inspection
Service lawyers asked iCOP to remove “protest” from its keyword searches
“to protect constitutional rights.”
Frank Albergo, president of
the Postal Police Officers Association, told Yahoo News that the Postal
Inspection Service had “lost their way.”
“At this point they might
as well take their mission statement of protecting the Postal Service
and its employees and throw it in the garbage,” Albergo said, arguing
that not enough attention is being paid by the agency to the “mail theft
epidemic” of postal property that was happening at the same time.
The
26-page report concluded that the post office did not have the legal
authority to compile reports on Americans involved in Black Lives Matter
protests sweeping thenation. The reportalsofound
across-the-board violations of statutory and legal authority ranging
from lack of legal authority to noncompliance with federal records
retention to use of facial recognition software. It also said there was
no record-keeping policy or proceduresin place to make sure the work was legal.
The
report repeatedly stressed that the Postal Service’s surveillance
efforts need a “postal nexus,” or a connection to the Postal Inspection
Service’s work.
“The Postal Inspection Service’s activities must
have an identified connection to the mail, postal crimes, or the
security of Postal Service facilities or personnel (postal nexus) prior
to commencing,” the report said.
“However, the keywords used for
iCOP in the proactive searches did not include any terms with a postal
nexus. Further, the postal nexus was not documented in 122 requests and
18 reports due to a lack of requirements in the program’s procedures.
These issues occurred because management did not involve the Postal
Inspection Service’s Office of Counsel in developing iCOP or its
procedures.”

The
inspector general made a series of recommendations, including a
complete review and overhaul of the program and the analyst division
under which it operates. Postal Service leadership responded to each
recommendation, objecting to most of the report’s conclusions and
arguing that it has the authority to conduct wide-ranging surveillance
and intelligence collection on U.S. citizens — without needing a nexus
to the post office. It agreed to review some of its policies after the
completion of the internal review recommended by the inspector general.
“We
strongly disagree with the overarching conclusion that the U.S. Postal
Inspection Service (Inspection Service) exceeded its legal authority and
conducted improper intelligence searches,” the Postal Inspection
Service wrote in response to the recommendations and findings of the
inspector general audit. The response was included in the report.
Maloney,
the Oversight Committee chair, said: "I fully support the Inspector
General’s recommendation that Postal Service management perform a full
review of the Analytics Team’s responsibilities, activities, and
procedures, and I look forward to reviewing its result.”
“Surprised and
Concerned”: Poison Control Issues Nationwide “Toxic” Warning About
Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Tests – Kit Includes Poisonous “Liquid Substance”
Used Commonly in “Pest Control” – (VIDEO)
For months, there have been many people sounding the alarm over the
at-home Covid-19 rapid test, saying that the kits include toxic
substances that pose health risks – something that has been widely
condemned by the establishment as a wild conspiracy theory.
Well, just like with most everything else these days, the difference
between wild right wing conspiracy and fact simply comes down to a
matter of time.
Advertisement - story continues below
Now, even public health officials can’t ignore the dangers posed by these tests.
Last month, the Gateway Pundit reported
that Ohio and Texas issued a warning after seeing an increase in
reports related to sodium azide poisoning, a chemical found in test kits
after Biden promised to give 500 million Covid test kits to Americans.
The poisonous substance in these test kits is called Sodium Azide, which has a “high” acute toxicity and can be fatal to humans in cases of overexposure, according to Stanford Medical. The presence of this toxic substance was apparently
only found by Poison Control researchers after the winter wave of
Omicron, which saw many Americans testing at home with the kits.
Following this uptick in at-home testing, according to WHIO TV7,
drug and poison centers across the country experienced a large increase
in cases involving Sodium Azide, which prompted the Ohio Poison Control
to issue their warning.
The liquid Sodium Azide is located within the extraction tube inside
the kits and the substance is colorless tasteless and odorless.
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital toxicologist Dr. Sheila Goertemoeller,
who is a member of the Ohio Poison Control Center, spoke with WHIO7
about the agency’s decision to issue the nationwide warning. She
explained that the other 54 Poison Centers in America have seen a
similar upswing in Sodium Azide poisonings, amounting to “more than a
couple hundred” across the country as of late.
Goertemoeller also admitted that her colleagues were “surprised” and
“concerned” that such a highly toxic substance is being used in the test
kits.
Nearly 60 million people have already received a free at-home Covid
test from the Biden administration, most of which were passed out this
winter, according to WHIO7 News.
From WHO7:
“Ohio poison control centers are sounding the alarm surrounding a
liquid substance called Sodium Azide found in some at home testing
covid testing kits that could be toxic to children as well as adults if
used incorrectly.
‘Our toxicology community has been both surprised that this was
the ingredient in some of the kits, and also concerned. We have seen
exposure in all age groups,’ [Goertemoeller said.]
‘We are one of 55 poison control centers and nationwide other
poison centers have been reporting a similar finding and there have been
more than a couple of hundred exposures nationwide to Sodium Azide in
test kits,’ [Goertemoeller explained.]
As WHIO7 points out, there have even been some adults who end up
using the toxic liquid to swab the inside of their nose because they did
not follow the instructions on the package, so if you have these kits
at home, use caution – or better yet, throw them away.

WATCH:
Due to the presence of the toxic chemical, doctors are now advising
parents to keep the kits out of reach of children. In addition, when
testing children for Covid at home, it’s recommended that parents make
sure they are supervised in order to avoid any adverse side effects from
exposure to the substance.
The main side effects of exposure to Sodium Azide include lowered
blood pressure, headache, hypothermia, and in the case of serious
overexposure, convulsions, and death. Ingestion of 100 to 200 mg in
humans may result in headache, respiratory distress, and diarrhea, according to Stanford Medical.
