The C19 Shot Is 'the Biggest Biological Pharmaceutical Safety Disaster in the History of Mankind'
"Many tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, and potentially millions of people have lost their lives with the vaccine," grieved Dr. McCullough.
"This will go down as the biggest biological pharmaceutical safety disaster in the history of mankind — by a mile. This will go down worse than most wars in terms of mortality."
Dr. Peter McCullough is one of the most published cardiologists ever in America and is now serving as the Chief Scientific Officer for The Wellness Company.

An anarchist dismisses religious belief as a means of understanding the world that has been "superceded by science", sparking a lively debate. Is this argument simply showing disrespect to believers, talking down to the proles, or is it really the case that religion is "a dangerous drug" which means "handing over your brain to a priest, rabbi, or imam"? Read the arguments and make your own mind up.
Stephen Baxter has written a novel for the long haul – we humans are notorious for believing that our brief existence is of pressing importance, so any novel that spans 600 million years can reasonably be described as taking “the long view”
Two Stephen Baxter sites:
Evolution:
Popular science:
The Irish Recorded Music Association is to start
legal action against 17 Irish people whom they accuse
of sharing copywrighted music. IRMA announced the
decision today, claiming they 'were forced' into the
move and are 'unhappy' about it. They cite figures
that the 'Irish Music Industry' is 'losing' €3.8m
annually because of illegal downloading. Since 2002
they have seen profits fall from €146m annually to
€118m, which is a 19% drop over 3 years. The put this
drop in sales down to what they call 'serial
filesharers'.
IRMA is the trade organisation representing 47
members, including major and independent record
companies. IRMA say that file sharing is “effectively
stealing the livelihood of the creators of music”.
But who is really 'stealing the livelihoods' of
musicians?
Take an average new CD that costs between €15 and €20.
According to Patrick Norager, who runs an Electronic
Frontier Foundation (EFF) net-radio station: “Artists
only get 10 percent of (the money from) their sales
before they pay managers and absorb breakage fees and
other expenses... The fact is unless you can sell
250,000 copies on a major label you will probably get
dropped. The way they do it, it’s like they’re selling
toasters instead of music.”
So the artist (unless they are huge sellers like U2 or
Metallica) will only get between somewhere between
€1.50 to €2 or less for every CD sold, before
additional expenses and record company
'recouperation'. The 'record industry' (the labels,
the stores, the middlemen) and taxman get the rest.
Steve Albini, a longtime rock producer (perhaps most
famous for working on Nirvana's final studio album)
lays out a typical example of a new band signing to a
major label, from an Indie label.
After signing for a £250,000 advance with a 13% cut of
record sale profits (-10% of that 13% for 'packaging')
- this band will find themselves having made a paltry
$4000 each. And the really strange thing is that NONE
of this comes from the record royalties - the band
actually owes the record industry $14,000 for the
album. The small amount of money made actually comes
from touring and merchandise. As Dougie Thomspon,
former Supertramp bassist, says: "make sure that you
book as may shows as you can, as far in advance as
possible, for as much money as you can get while the
fire is hot."
It's surplus value gone mad - imagine a worker who
ends up owing their boss money after they've carried
out their work they were contracted to do!
