"University of Oregon President Michael H. Schill recently announced that 282 employees will be furloughed in order to address “the immediate net revenue loss” during what are “far from normal times,” according to his statement posted to the university’s website."

This is a fine summary of where we are in the vaccine world by a Ph.D. who has a knack for crisp and understandable explanations.

“Time for another look at the coronavirus vaccine front, since we have several recent news items. Word has come from GSK and Sanofi that they are going to collaborate on vaccine development, which brings together two of the more experienced large organizations in the field. It looks like Sanofi is bringing the spike protein and GSK is bringing the adjuvant (more on what that means below). Their press release says that they plan to go into human patients late this year and to have everything ready for regulatory filing in the second half of 2021. For its part, Pfizer has announced that they’re pushing up their schedule with BioNTech and possibly starting human trials in August, which probably puts them on a similar timeline for eventual filing.”

We think this is an important interview with Professor Knut Wittkowski. This is a crusty old Doctor of the old school who does not get his paycheck from the government. This conversation contrasts the dichotomy between standard medical diagnosis and treatment and the politicization of medicine by the WHO, CDC and its Doctors, insurance companies, hospitals, and big pharma.

The CDC would like widespread testing which would go hand and hand with insurance company reimbursement of Doctors and Hospitals. This politicization has caused widespread social distancing orders that are not very well thought out by the politicians involved. Remember that there are several countries that have weathered this storm without destroying their economy. They are Taiwan, South Korea, Iceland, and Sweden.

The financial ramifications of all this will be large. The Nanny State just thinks they know science and economics. Dr. Richard Capek thinks that instead of an epidemic of viruses, we are now at a point where we have an epidemic of tests.

The transcript is just a summary of the 42-minute video. This video was made around the first of April. Think about these things when you go to the polls in November and who took care of you better.  Highly Recommended!

"Just as he threatened last week,  and was threatened back with "body bags," President Trump tonight confirmed he will halt US funding for The World Health Organization, while US reviews virus warnings regarding China."

"South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Monday announced a statewide clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine for the possible treatment of COVID-19, making her state the first in the country to institute a program exploring the potential effectiveness of the drug in treating and preventing coronavirus. “From Day One, I’ve said we’re going to let the science, facts and data drive our decision-making in South Dakota,” Noem said in a statement provided to Fox News."

Important Update: Fox News seems to have buried the above interview so you will just have to put up with Neil Cavuto. Please see the first comment for the original interview.  Still think your news is not being managed?

We say, what a great Governor! At least she is doing something about the problem.

"The panic and fear among the people who cannot be bothered to read the actual statistics about this pandemic is what should concern most preppers.  In fact, this virus has been so overhyped that the Army’s field hospital in Seattle, an “epicenter” of the pandemic has closed after three days without seeing one single COVID-19 patient."

"Mayo Clinic has unveiled a plan to cut $1.6 billion in pay, withdraw nearly $1 billion from its financial reserves and save another $700 million through a hiring freeze to counteract a $3 billion loss inflicted by the coronavirus. A large portion of this loss was the result of Governor Tim Walz’s ban on non-essential procedures that has cost Mayo up to 75% of its business in some areas."

Thank You, Alpha News.

Would you like to know a little more about how Zinc and Hydroxychloroquine work inside the cell? This 17-minute video is for you. You do not need to be a molecular biologist to understand what is going on. For you chart readers, you can tell where he points to the wrong chart. I did not catch that until my second time through.

"On Friday, during his show’s opening monologue, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson said there were still questions about the coronavirus/COVID-19 spread that have gone unanswered, or in some cases unasked. Carlson said one of those mysteries pertained to the virus’s seemingly selective nature, hitting some places hard while not others."

"So in the scenarios the modelers run,  you get basically the exact same number of deaths regardless of the mitigation strategy. My favored approach, use basic mitigation for the bulk of the population, but isolate the at-risk groups, has the same outcome as making everyone stay at home. This would allow the working age population to go back to work. The economic harms due to job loss and other non-economic harms flowing from job loss would be substantially reduced. "
