This year, 2021 has brought a swathe of challenges in the guise of the coronavirus crisis. The rhetoric against those who question the mainstream narrative has become ever more shrill, with calls for those who're holding the line to be treated as terrorists and undergo deradicalisation programmes. Whilst the pressures from the powers-that-be seem to increase every day, the strength of the resistance movement is also increasing daily - amply aided by evidence of cover-ups, harms, data manipulation designed for pure propaganda and attempts to bring down those who stand in opposition. We may be at the darkest time of the year in the northern hemisphere, but Solstices always offer a new dawn, none greater than the one this year. We have so many reasons to continue to hold the line and not capitulate in unison — for our futures, especially those of our children and our children's children.

Coercion

Covid injections

• In the largest study to date of cardiac issues following covid injections published in Nature, researchers have found an increased risk of heart issues following covid injections. The study found that 1% of those jabbed were either hospitalised or died as a result of irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrythmia). The paper also highlights the risks to future health of those who suffer from myocarditis, warning it’s far more serious than just a mild illness as has been reported time and again by the media in efforts to dismiss concerns over rising levels of cardiac issues following covid injection

Testing

The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will withdraw emergency use authorisation for the CDC 2019-Novel coronavirus RT-PCR test with effect from 31 December 2021. The test is being ‘retired’ in favour of newer tests that have a higher throughput or can test for more than one virus at a time. The CDC says the RT-PCR test was brought in to fill a gap and that due to the wide range of other tests now available it is now longer needed.

Treatments

• A key Ivermectin trial has been suspended after an apparent supply issue, which has affected the PRINCIPLE trial. In a statement to MedPage Today via email, Merck, which has been providing ivermectin to the trial said it has "concluded that the probability of ivermectin providing a potentially safe and efficacious treatment option for SARS-CoV-2 infection is low and have prioritized internal efforts towards the development of alternate candidates that provide a higher probability of success for the treatment of COVID-19."
• Israeli scientists publishing in iScience have reinforced that covid is not just a respiratory disease but an immune and respiratory illness. Lead researcher, Prof Dan Mishmar said the team were surprised to find damage to cell mitochondria outside of the lungs which they think could be driving the worst effects of covid and that patients could be potentially be helped by the use of over the counter antioxidant supplements.

Natural immunity

• This 6 min YouTube clip is time extremely well spent. Especially if you’ve ever wondered about Fauci’s budget or level of manpower he can access! Please share through your networks. We really need to get the natural immunity conversation going to antidote the divide being fuelled by fear of the jab-free this holiday season
• A new Danish study from the Statens Serum Institut of Denmark shows natural immunity confers a higher level of protection and doesn’t wane in the same way as that from covid jabs. Comparing natural infection against those who’ve been jabbed and those who’ve been jabbed and infected, those who had been infected but not jabbed continued to have protection up to a year later whilst those who had been jabbed experienced a waning of protection within weeks of being injected.

Other covid news
