Monica Gandhi Says Wait For Virion Vax, Reports Berenson — Alex Berenson, the former New York Times reporter who is now basically blacklisted from establishment media due to his reporting about the dangers of the promoted Covid vaccines, is reporting on his Substack account that a prominent expert appears to be switching sides.
Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious diseases professor at the University of California, San Francisco, has said that Omicron exposure is “likely to combat other variants in future since the individual has seen the whole virus” and that if a vaccine or booster is desired one should wait for a “whole inactivated virion vaccine like Covaxin/Ocugen”,which has had an emergency use authorization pending at the FDA since Nov. 5.
Wonder why it’s taking so long. It’s an emergency, right?
Virion vaccines are not mRNA but the traditional types that use a disabled viral particle to allow our immune systems to build their defenses without the dangers of being infected.
“Unlike me, Dr. Gandhi is too smart to come out and say openly the mRNA vaccines are useless, if not dangerous, at this point,” Berenson says. “She knows exactly how far in front of the consensus she can get and still have access to the elite media bluechecks. But she knows the implications of what she wrote. And she knows how it will be interpreted. Now you do, too.”
Berenson has updated his post after objections from Dr. Gandhi who says that she thinks mRNA vaccines are safe and effective and that Dr. Barney Graham, who is among their developers, should win the Nobel Prize.
Berenson, however, says she declined to participate in an interview and would not address the specifics in her statements, which appeared in a newsletter post, regarding Omicron or that one should wait for a virion vax before taking any more boosters.

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit quote puzzle: The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.

Greatness of America lies William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit 1-26-22
During the peak days of coronavirus, Amazon delivery trucks were a familiar sight in neighborhoods across America. Amazon’s logo is a smiley face arrow pointing from “A” to “Z” indicating that the company offers customers products that range from those with names that begin with the letter “a” and all through to the letter “z,” in other words, everything. Shopping at Amazon, the smiling arrow promises, will make consumers happy.
What began in 1994 in Jeff Bezos’ garage as an online bookstore, then called “Cadabra” and with initial earnings of $20,000, Amazon is now recognized worldwide as the place to shop for products as diverse as AAA batteries or zinc tablets, and have them promptly delivered to your front door quickly. Today, Amazon’s market cap is $1.7 trillion. As of January 2022, Bezos is the world’s richest man with a net worth of $195 billion. Amazon is a great American success story. If only Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos could use their billions-strong financial strength to share their wealth by hiring more Americans and paying them fairly instead of opting for lower-cost overseas workers, their accomplishments might be more broadly hailed.
But when Amazon wants to hire workers, it too often relies on the insidious H-1B, guest worker employment-based visa to fill its needs. In fiscal years 2020 and 2021, at 6,182, Amazon received more approvals for H-1B visas than any other corporation; Microsoft, Google and IBM received 1,200 or more. Worse news for U.S. tech workers is that the decline rate for H-1B visas has, under President Joe Biden, dropped to its lowest level in history which means that more tech jobs will go to Indian and Chinese nationals instead of U.S. citizens.
The National Foundation for American Policy calculated that only 4 percent of petitions were denied in FY 2021, down from 13 percent in FY 2020 and down from the high of 24 percent in FY 2018. NFAP wrote that the status of many H-1B extensions was reviewed under a more restrictive standard than the Trump administration. Those tighter guidelines gave officers at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services more discretion to require additional proof that entry-level computer programming jobs qualify as a “specialty occupation,” a basic requirement for receiving an H-1B visa.
Courts later ruled that the Trump era memo was unlawful. NFAP also wrote that “employers and attorneys have credited USCIS Director Ur Jaddou and the Biden administration for rescinding the October 2017 memo.” Big business, lawyers and the Americans Last Biden White House, all unlimited immigration advocates, hailed Jaddou’s intervention, and defended the H-1B revision as helpful to corporations struggling to find what they term as “high-skilled” or the “best and brightest” employees, myths that have been perpetuated for decades.
The Census Bureau’s 2019 Community Survey, Single-Year Estimates found that among the 50 million employed college graduates ages 25 to 64 in 2019, 37 percent reported a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering but only 14 percent worked in a science, technology, engineering or math-related (STEM) occupations. U.S. tech workers are plentiful, but employers have to seek them out.
Through a series of loopholes, Congress has enabled H-1B visa holders to, instead of the initial six-year time cap on their visas – one three-year period followed by a three-year renewal – remain to work indefinitely, and become U.S. citizens. Because of the “dual intent” provision, H-1B visas holders can now displace American workers, and are rewarded with citizenship. Stated differently, admitted under the guise of being temporary, H-1B holders can become the most permanent of residents, a U.S. citizen.
The decline in H-1B denials trend is guaranteed to continue during Biden’s remaining three years in the White House. The president’s critics wonder why he’s so steadfastly determined to harms both high- and low-skilled U.S. workers. The border influx of mostly limited-skilled and under-educated migrants harm Americans at the lower end of the economic spectrum, while, at the same time, loosening the H-1B visa standards puts college-educated Americans behind the eight-ball when it comes to securing a white-collar job.

House Slipped Vote Fraud Preventions Slipped Into Lame Senate Amendment In Pennsylvania— The Pennsylvania Senate passed, April 27, SB 106 which was to be an amendment to the state Constitution that would merely end separate elections for candidates for governor and lieutenant governor and have them run on a single ballot. It would be an unnecessary and insignificant change as to how we are governed but the inside-baseball types thought it neat.
Anyway, on Dec. 15, just before the session ended, the State House overwhelmingly approved it but with additions. These included:
— A 21-day limit on emergency declarations by the governor.
— A requirement to present “valid identification prior to voting, regardless of voting method”
— The auditing of elections, including the administration of elections, certification of election machines, the accuracy of the list of registered voters, the administration of voter registration and election results.
The bill is now back in the Senate where it sits.
Constitutional amendments in Pennsylvania require approval of the same wording in consecutive sessions of the legislature, and then approval by the voters via a ballot question.
Don’t expect them to happen anytime soon, but this shows that while there may be corrupt deep staters in the Republican Party, there are good guys too.
House Slipped Vote Fraud Preventions In Lame Senate Amendment In Pennsylvania
Voter ID Downside II — Probably more than 99 percent of our readers are strong proponents of photo voter ID and we recently carried a column by Bob Small that swims against that tide.
We are certainly not against a requirement to show a photo before voting, but we have become far less fanatical about it.
If the precinct workers are honest the rule is not needed and if the precinct workers are otherwise the rule is not going to matter.
The concern we have is that Pennsylvania patriots are ignoring far more crucial matters regarding election integrity with their zeal for photo identification, namely state-wide certification of poll watchers and transparent election machinery and software.
Long-standing Pennsylvania law restricts poll watchers to the county in which they reside. What is wrong with state-wide certification for them? Why shouldn’t an appropriately certified Philadelphia Democrat be allowed to make sure things are copacetic in the voting in Franklin County? And vice-versa, of course. Only a racist can oppose such a thing.
Regarding transparent election machinery, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania — which appears to be better described as the Supreme Court of Soros– has blocked an audit of Fulton County voting machines.
The State Legislature wanted it. Fulton County wanted it. Commonwealth Court was OK with it. Why block it?
Well, the Democrat Party opposed it as did Dominion Voting Systems, the supplier of the machinery.
But why would they oppose it? All an audit would show was that the system was honest and the results were fair, right? RIGHT?
It shouldn’t need to be said but voting transparency should always take precedence over the secrets of corporations.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a white supremacist, and likely a homophobic misogynist who hates Mexicans.
Which gets us to a rather interesting thing going on in Pennsylvania legislature and might be the buried lead.
Anyway, in December, just before the session ended the State House added to the bill:
— A 21-day limit on emergency declarations by the governor.
— A requirement to present “valid identification prior to voting, regardless of voting method”
— The auditing of elections, including the administration of elections, certification of election machines, the accuracy of the list of registered voters, the administration of voter registration and election results.
The bill is now back in the Senate where it sits. The amendments require approval of the same wording in consecutive sessions of the legislature, and then approval by the voters via a ballot question.
Don’t expect them to happen anytime soon, but this does show that while there may be corrupt deep staters in the Republican Party, there are good guys too.

The Civic Alliance, like Walt Whitman, “contains multitudes”, but one of its main functions is as an anti-Voter ID group. They are supported by Democracy Works, which according to Influence Watch, is funded by “numerous left-of-center foundations.” Influence Watch lists numerous organizations, the majority left of center, but it also lists the RNC.
The boycott of some 200 Companies comprising the Civic Alliance is also for their failure to speak up about human rights violations in China and other places.
Now, some thoughts on Voter ID, one non-political: Do any of us, need one more card to fall in the back of the car or end up being dry cleaned? At the very least, this would be easily misplaceable and not easily replaceable.
Secondly, isn’t voter ID a form of government mandate, the same governmental overreach many of us have been railing against. Some feel Voter ID is a solution in search of a problem. This is not to say that voter fraud does not exist. Only that would explain many or our current and previous officials.
However, creating voter ID, and, of course, a Department of Voter ID, we must have that, then, isn’t it like killing a flea with a hammer?
Thirdly, the fine state of Georgia has not had a third party US House candidate on their Ballot since 1943, due to their restrictive Ballot Access Laws. By the way, that ruling has been overturned, but is still being appealed.
I e-mailed the Civic Alliance a week ago, assuming they would share my alarm about this, since they’re busy pillorying Georgia politics anyhow, but it doesn’t seem to raise alarm bells in their brainpan. Is it incorrect to maintain that only permitting two Parties on the Ballot is, if not voter intimidation, a form of voter suppression? Sometimes, both major Parties offer a choice that, as the British say, “is a Dog’s breakfast”. Maybe more than sometimes.
If most people are locked out by the primary system from even being considered, be they renegade Dems, GOP, Independents or Third Parties, then think that should be one of the battles.
As said previously, most of what the Proud American Patriots Network does deserves support, so I would urge people to go to their website and support them.
