In a 15-minute analysis of the latest in US politics, I joined BBC 5 Live’s Colin Murray on Thursday to discuss the Biden Administration’s handling of Coronavirus and the House select committee pursuing the truth about the Capitol Attack.
Listen to Discussion from 1:45.22
We begin with Donald Trump’s bluster about accepting a Coronavirus booster, which backfired when his audience booed him. Then we get serious with how the current Administration has dealt with the pandemic, after Trump’s disinformation and mismanagement, and what Biden is doing about Omicron.

Coronavirus — Biden Announces Additional Measures for Omicron
As Trumpists — including GOP legislators — defy subpoenas from the House committee, I explain the story behind the headlines: the scores of witnesses who are cooperating with testimony and documents, and how this is building up the account of Trump’s coup attempt on January 6.

[Editor: Varharan’s source SciTechDaily is not reliable on COVID-19, so I have replaced it with a better link: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/12/211227154352.htm
This conclusion from the co-author of the study, omitted by Varharan, is significant: “[This] is why a multilayered approach that includes masking and social-distancing, along with vaccination plus booster against COVID-19 remains an essential approach for the foreseeable future.”]
Fully vaccinated cancer patients have a 13% mortality rate from Covid-19:
“Patients with cancer who develop breakthrough COVID-19 even following full vaccination can still experience severe outcomes, including death…similar results (high mortality rates among fully vaccinated individuals) have been reported in other immunocompromised patient populations, such as organ transplant recipients, prior to the utilization of additional vaccine doses.”
Twitter bans Dr.Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA technology for delivering new genes into cells – and who is a leading skeptic of the efficacy of Covid vaccines and the mass vaccination campaign: https://www.theblaze.com/news/twitter-suspends-dr-robert-malone-inventor-of-mrna-vaccines-and-covid-19-vaccine-skeptic
Malone had claimed that the spike protein was being produced in too large quantities – causing thrombosis ad myocarditis – and that the synthetic lipids used to deliver the mRNA molecule were ending up being deposited in the ovaries of females leading to possible infertility.
Yes, Robert Malone has been suspended from Twitter after repeated violations of Terms of Service over misinformation/disinformation, notably over vaccines. The tipping point was a tweet that claimed Pfizer vaccines had cost more lives than they had saved.
Observational Findings of PULS Cardiac Test Findings for Inflammatory Markers in Patients Receiving mRNA Vaccines: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1161/circ.144.suppl_1.10712#
“In conclusion, the mRNA vacs numerically increase the markers IL-16, Fas, and HGF, all markers previously described by others for denoting inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle, in a consecutive series of a single clinic patient population receiving mRNA vaccines without a control group.”
Ireland. 13,765 Covid-19 cases reported in new daily record: https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2021/1225/1268623-coronavirus-ireland/
It comes as data from the UK shows that the infection rate among the vaccinated aged 18-80 is higher than the unvaccinated (Table 11): https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1043608/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_51.pdf
[Editor: Varharan takes the above sentence out of context. Here is the full statement of findings:
“The rate of a positive COVID-19 test is substantially lower in vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated individuals up to the age of 29.
In individuals aged greater than 30, the rate of a positive COVID-19 test is higher in vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated (Table 11). This is likely to be due to a variety of reasons, including differences in the population of vaccinated and unvaccinated people as well as differences in testing patterns.
The rate of hospitalisation within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test increases with age, and is substantially greater in unvaccinated individuals compared to vaccinated individuals.
The rate of death within 28 days or within 60 days of a positive COVID-19 test increases with age, and again is substantially greater in unvaccinated individuals compared to fully vaccinated individuals.”]
