NYT OPINION SECTION
Nothing virus-related
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
First daily briefing on novel coronavirus by WHO Director General
“We are also increasing our communications capacity to counter the spread of rumours and misinformation, and ensure all people receive the accurate, reliable information they need to protect themselves and their families.
And we plan to hold daily media briefings.
FDA and HHS
First declaration of emergency as basis for issuance of Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Covid - but not for any specific product, just in general. February 7th is first actual product EUA. The February 4th date is possibly retro-fitted?
Learn more about EUA for Covid vaccines here.
PREP Act, which was actually first declared on March 17, is retro-dated to February 4th.
“The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) to issue a Declaration to provide liability immunity to certain individuals and entities (Covered Persons) against any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the manufacture, distribution, administration, or use of medical countermeasures (Covered Countermeasures), except for claims involving “willful misconduct” as defined in the PREP Act.”
RESEARCH ON POTENTIAL TREATMENTS
Letter in Cell Research, “Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro”. One of the authors is “bat woman,” Shi Zhengli.
“Our findings reveal that remdesivir and chloroquine are highly effective in the control of 2019-nCoV infection in vitro. Since these compounds have been used in human patients with a safety track record and shown to be effective against various ailments, we suggest that they should be assessed in human patients suffering from the novel coronavirus disease.” [BOLDFACE ADDED]
BIOWARFARE RESEARCHERS/VACCINE DEVELOPERS
Jeremy Farrar, Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, Eddie Holmes circulate an early draft of the Proximal Origin paper and continue to work on getting the WHO to assemble a group of scientists to look into virus origins.
US Right to Know has a good summary of these goings-on.
Feb 4, 2020 is a very important date. On that day, there was a phone call going out from the DOD to the pharmaceutical pandemic consortium telling them that "covid was designated as national security threat". I have video and audio evidence from one of the large pharmas internal meeting. More about this in a few days. IMO, that's why PREP Act was made retroactive to Feb 4. I think DOD went ahead with the covid scam plan, and told Trump later.
Brilliant idea - no doubt the detailed history of these last four years will be - should be - being studied for the next hundred years, if we are not all murdered by our governments with forced vaccines in the name of protecting us, long before then. Wow, I thought I might die of old age, or an accident, or even an illness - I never thought the most likely reason for my death was going to be "protection from serious illness and hospitalization".
