Locals who’ve had their lives turned upside down due to Hurricane Helene are posting videos online claiming they’re being denied the $750 assistance checks promised by FEMA because they either make too much money or have home insurance.
A woman who states that she is a former Coast Guard member who traveled to North Carolina with her canines for body recovery efforts was advised to avoid FEMA, as agents were reportedly confiscating supplies from private citizens. Additionally, members of the volunteer group she worked with discovered that FEMA was diverting supplies meant for North Carolinians to migrant shelters.
Locals who’ve had their lives turned upside down due to Hurricane Helene are posting videos online claiming they’re being denied the $750 assistance checks promised by FEMA because they either make too much money or have home insurance.
A North Carolina resident explained, “Everyone in my area that I’ve talked to, including myself, who applied for the $750 assistance payment from FEMA has been denied. They’ve denied us. So, here we sit. We threw out all our food because we were without power for five or six day, some are still without power.”
She added, “Here we sit, with limited resources in the store and they have denied our $750 resource check.”
In another video going viral online, a woman who has been helping people file for aid said, “They are only giving $750 per-household. And, that is if your income qualifies and if you don’t have homeowners. So, essentially the only people being approved are the people that already have EBT and government assistance. If you make enough money, you’re not getting help.”
“So, when you’re paying for generators, food, hotels, you can’t go to work and you don’t have a savings to dig into, which nobody had right now because this economy is terrible, well you’re SOL.”
The woman also pointed out Kamala Harris previously stated the government should prioritize helping low income families, women and racial minorities over other citizens, which appears to be the Biden-Harris administration’s method for Hurricane Helene assistance.
The Biden-Harris response to the storm will go down in history as one of the worst government failures of all time.
After millions of Americans criticized the measly assistance payments, the federal government and mainstream media rushed to claim there would be additional funds for victims in the near future.
However, it appears as if many of the people affected by Helene won’t even be able to get the $750 promised by FEMA.
Former Coast Guard Volunteer with Canines for Search and Rescue Says FEMA Is Giving Supplies to Migrants
Note: This is a claim made on X that has not yet been verified.
Former Coast Guard member who traveled to North Carolina with her K9s for body recovery efforts was advised to avoid FEMA, as agents were reportedly confiscating supplies from private citizens. Additionally, members of the volunteer group she worked with discovered that FEMA was diverting supplies meant for North Carolinians to migrant shelters.

How to Steer Hurricanes, Flood Homes, and Steal Lithium
The lithium rich mines in North Carolina and the thieves who occupy government
We have had the technology to create, control, and steer hurricanes for decades.
“Project Cirrus is the first Official attempt to modify a hurricane. It was run by General Electric with the support of the US military. The official theory was that by changing the temperature outside the eye-wall of a hurricane, which they did by seeding the clouds with various compounds such as silver iodide, a decrease in strong winds will result.
On October 13, 1947, Project Cirrus targeted a hurricane heading out to sea. Approximately 180 pounds of dry ice was dropped into the clouds. The crew then reported a "pronounced modification of the cloud deck". And the hurricane abruptly changed direction and made landfall near Savannah, Georgia. The public blamed the government.
Irving Langmuir, who pioneered General Electric’s atmospheric research department, and admired that the project was about learning how to weaponize the weather, also claimed the reversal of the hurricane had been caused by the project, but the government denied it for twelve years.
After a short delay, the project officially continued. And in 1965, Project Stormfury had targeted Hurricane Betsy for seeding. On that day the storm immediately changed direction and made landfall in Southern Florida. Congress blamed it on Project Stormfury but the government claimed that the hurricane changed direction before they ever had a chance to seed it. And after two months of Congressional hearings, the project was allowed to continue.”
~ Reese Report “Weather Weaponization and Hurricane Ian”
In 1997, U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen admitted we have the technology to control the weather, including earthquakes and volcanoes. The U.S. government has placed gag orders on employees of the national weather service.
In October of 2012, after Hurricane Sandy weakened to a tropical storm, microwave imagery shows a thick red beam immediately followed by Sandy growing into a category 1 hurricane and taking an unexplained “left Turn” into New Jersey.
The push towards alternative energy demands more lithium. And according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the United States has over 6 million tons of identified lithium resources. The majority of this lithium has been identified in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Kings Mountain is believed to have one of the largest resources in the world. But the biggest problem is that people live there. And they don’t want their quiet towns turned into lithium mines.
“People in Cherryville have been pushing against a proposed lithium mine for the last several years, but everyone we spoke with here said it's too divisive of an issue to share their opinion on camera. Cherryville is a small, quiet town.”
~ Local news reporter
“I think it's good that we keep it small.”
~ Anonymous resident
“So quiet, many don't feel comfortable speaking out against Piedmont Lithium's proposed mining operation nearby.”
~ Local news reporter
“I think we're a silent majority. I think a lot of people are afraid to say anything about it because they are bringing a lot to the town as far as money.”
~ Anonymous resident
Last year, the Department of Defense entered a ninety-million-dollar agreement with Albemarle Corporation to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation’s battery supply chain. Specifically, from Kings Mountain, North Carolina starting by 2025.
This is the same area experiencing what is being described as biblical floods.
While the Federal government spends billions on foreign wars and illegal immigrants, they simply can not be bothered with the health and well-being of the American people. Especially those living on coveted mineral rich land.

Marcus Allen was targeted by feds for questioning why federal informants were in January 6 crowd.
A former FBI specialist who was persecuted for questioning January 6 said during a hearing with lawmakers on Capitol Hill that Americans should stock up on food and prepare for hardship.
Marcus Allen, a former FBI staff operations specialist, told the Judiciary Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government that he was deliberately targeted by higher ups for asking why there were so many federal informants in the crowd at the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“The FBI questioned my allegiance to the United States, suspended my security clearance, suspended my pay and refused to allow me to obtain outside employment or even accept charity,” Allen testified
The feds came down hard on Allen after he sent an email on September 21st, 2021 which his supervisors claimed contained hyperlinks to “extremist propaganda” from “questionable sources”.
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who testified alongside Allen, is investigating the FBI’s security clearance and adjudication process, including the targeting of “political conservatives who were seen as loyal to Trump or resistant to COVID-19 vaccine mandates.”
“There are no words strong enough to describe the impact the FBI’s lies about me have had on me and my family,” said Allen during an emotional statement. “The stress has taken a toll on our health and our children have suffered, traumatized by the thought of our door getting kicked in or Dad not coming home.”
However, it was Allen’s final comments that raised many eyebrows.
The former FBI staffer urged Americans to use their right to vote despite any doubts they may have about election integrity.
“My other recommendations are in the natural order,” Allen continued, “Arm yourself and know how to defend yourself, make three to four friends in your neighborhood and promise to come to each other’s mutual aid in times of hardship.”
“And during the great depression, people stocked up their pantry, so I think that’s a good practice especially in our economic times, and make sure you have three to four months of food,” he added.
Janet Jackson was recently harshly criticized for saying this about Kamala Harris: “She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.” She added that she heard that Kamala’s father was white. This has become an issue because Kamala Harris is courting the black vote and may be downplaying the white side of her family that were reported to have been slave traders. Candace Owens investigated the claim and opened a can of worms in her last 3 podcasts.
Kamala Harris’ book, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey, features a photo of Kamala with her purported paternal grandmother, Beryl. But it seems impossible because Beryl died in 1960 and Kamala wasn’t born until 4 years later in 1964. Kamala’s father, Donald Harris is a radical Marxist who was a professor of economics at Stanford University. He says that he was born in Jamaica in 1938, but there is no birth certificate for Donald Harris.
Candace speculated that Oscar, Kamala’s reported grandfather, and Beryl never did marry and that Beryl was included in Kamala’s history to “blackify” her.
Kamala’s father had worked for the Jamaica Information Service that was part of the government of Jamaica and Kamala’s mother’s father was the Deputy Secretary of the Government of India.
You Mean Kamala Harris Isn’t Actually Black? Shocker.
By Olive Barker
The mainstream media is back this week with more election shenanigans as they are now diving in head first to try to prove to the public that Kamala Harris is actually black.
But the problem is, the internet doesn’t believe Kamala Harris is actually black.
And just as the internet does when you feed it information, we do what we can to find out the truth. Which is exactly what happened when it was revealed in Kamala’s new book that she has a black paternal grandmother named Beryl Harris (Finegan).
The internet quickly able to debunk that statement after discovering that Beryl Harris died in July of 1960, four years before Kamala was born.
Kamala Harris was born in 1964 to an Indian American woman named Shyamala Gopalan, and a Jamaican American man named Donald J. Harris. Note that Jamaican does not mean black, that’s a common misconception.
How do we know all of this? We know all of this because Candace Owens released Kamala’s birth certificate and ancestral history on her show earlier this week. After she released that information, people began to ask questions about Kamala and why she was claiming she was black if she wasn’t.
Janet Jackson was one of those people.
“That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian. That her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered that her father was white.” – Janet Jackson
So then naturally, as the mainstream media does, they all produced similar headlines claiming that Janet Jackson was making false claims about Kamala’s race. Here are some of those headlines:
“Janet Jackson Repeats False Claims About Kamala Harris’s Race” – The New York Times
“Janet Jackson tells interviewer she’s heard Kamala Harris is not black, echoing election disinformation.” – NBC News
Instead of the media owning up to creating and spreading false information about Kamala’s background, they are now doing everything they can to smear Janet Jackson’s name, similar to what they did with her brother Michael Jackson. You remember the good ole “Wacko Jacko” headlines?
Peggy lives in/at Orange County, California and has helped many people across her nation navigate the “hogwash” rolled out by “public serpents” under the guise of protecting everyone from “the cooties”.
Peggy never bought into the “suffocation devices”, realizes that poisons (quackcines) cannot be made “safer for everyone” and she doesn’t pretend that restoring confidence in the corrupt clown-shows called FDA, CDC or NIH would be a good thing. She’s a breath of fresh air with an optimistic outlook and plans on “marching this all the way to heaven”.
Because “the Orange County Board of Supervisors has refused to hold a public meeting — as required by law” to review the fake-emergency conditions and then to terminate the fake-emergency at the earliest possible date, Peggy filed a “writ of Mandate” against the County in September 2021. She has many articles/videos discussing the corrupt/delusional people at the County:
So, inspired by Peggy, on April 29, 2024 I filed a freedom of information order with Frank Kim (since retired) acting as County Executive Officer, County Administration North, “Orange County” for all studies/reports held by the institution that scientifically:
prove/provide evidence of the existence of the alleged covid-19 virus aka “SARS-COV2” (showing that the alleged particles with the purported “genome” and proteins have been found in sick people and shown to cause the illness/symptoms that they are alleged to cause), and/or
demonstrate contagion of the illness / symptoms that are allegedly caused by said purported “virus”.
I included a reminder that scientific proof/evidence requires use of the scientific method to test falsifiable hypotheses through valid, rigorous, repeatable controlled experiments and that this requires a valid independent variable (suspected “virus” particles that were found in sick “hosts” and purified).
And as usual I asked that if records matching my request were held by the County but were already publicly available, I be given citations so that I may identify and access each one. I also clarified that my request was not limited to records authored by someone at the County but included records authored by anyone, anywhere, ever.
May 3, 2024:
David Kim acting as Program Manager, County Executive Office | Government & Community Relations confessed (pg 9) that:
“….the Health Care Agency is unable to locate records responsive to your request”
…which was to be expected since virology has always been pseudoscience, no virus has ever been shown to exist, contagion is “public health”mythology and literally hundreds of previous FOI responses from 40 different countries also yielded zero valid scientific evidence of any purported “virus”.
Also, notice that I didn’t even ask for evidence of the purported virus invading and hijacking cells and replicating. I made the request easy and still they failed.
Because “covid” was a complete hoax.
(“Item 1” in David’s response refers to my additional order for records containing litigation/legal/court expenses/fees/costs/expenditures incurred by the County in defending against Peggy’s writ. I’m not convinced that David responded correctly regarding those records, so I wrote back politely disputing his position (pg 10). David never had the courtesy to respond aka he left the battlefield, but I didn’t pursue the matter any further…. see update further below).
Note: this newsletter has also been sent to the “Reuters Fact Check Team” and ~200 people who work for “the state”, lamestream media, etc. at Canada, Isle of Man, England and the U.S., and to people calling themselves “Senator” on the land known as Canada, so they can’t claim later that they didn’t know.
Update from Peggy:
October 5, 2024 update:
I have written back to David Kim who acts as Program Manager, County Executive Office | Government & Community Relations regarding the records of litigation/legal/court expenses/fees/costs/expenditures that were wastefully incurred in defending against Peggy’s writ and I will update this page if I receive a response.

Former U.S. Senator and Biden administration climate envoy John Kerry correctly identified the First Amendment as a “major block” preventing the government from halting spread of “disinformation.”
JOHN KERRY: The dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing. It is part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue. It’s really hard to govern today. You can’t — the referees we used to have to determine what is a fact and what isn’t a fact have kind of been eviscerated, to a certain degree. And people go and self select where they go for their news, for their information. And then you get into a vicious cycle.
So it is really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 40-50 years I’ve been involved in this.
You know there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc.
But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.
So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern, by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.
Obviously, there are some people in our country who are prepared to implement change in a whole other way, but —
I think democracies are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough of big enough to deal with the challenges they are facing, and to me, that is part of what this election is all about. Will we break the fever in the United States?
Leading experts in Japan have just put out an emergency global warning as the nation is about to roll out dangerous new “self-amplifying” Covid mRNA “vaccines” for public use.
A group of scientists and a top Japanese lawmaker have just held a press conference to raise the alarm over the new “vaccines,” warning they will “trigger a worldwide disaster.”
The controversial new “self-amplifying” Covid mRNA “vaccine” was developed by an obscure San Diego-based biotech company called Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc.
Arcturus Therapeutics, which is also an emerging pharmaceutical company, recently had its self-amplifying mRNA vaccine become accepted by Japanese regulators.
Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) granted approval for ARCT-154, a self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine.
The shot will be used for initial vaccination and booster for adults 18 years and older.
This new Covid sa-mRNA vaccine targeting was developed by Arcturus Therapeutics in partnership with Melbourne, Australia-based CSL.
In October the Japanese health authorities will roll the sa-mRNA Covid vaccine out to the population.
The approval is based on positive clinical data from several ARCT-154 studies, including an ongoing 16,000-subject efficacy study performed in Vietnam.
Initial study results have been published in MedRxiv and are expected to be published in a peer-reviewed journal by the end of the year.
However, the approval of the experimental vaccines has been met with a widespread backlash from Japanese scientists and medical experts, who have already been sounding the alarm about the “traditional” mRNA injections.
In response to the looming rollout of the new shots, Japanese Member of Parliament Ryuhei Kawada led an emergency press conference in Japan to warn the public.
At his event, he and colleagues expressed great concern about the country’s upcoming launch of the “mRNA replicon vaccines.”
During the press conference, Kawada argued that the October 1 deployment effort involving the COVID-19 vaccines “should be halted.”
Citing a study published in Cell, scientists looked at how something similar to the replicon mRNA vaccine worked when put into cells.
They found that the vaccine parts kept increasing inside the cells.
Experts are warning that these self-replicating mRNA vaccines continue to replicate in an out-of-control manner throughout the cells and more of the body.
The concern would be that particulas known as extracellular vesicles (including exosomes) could lead to shedding via bodily fluids and the like.
The Japanese regulators and Arcturus Therapeutics are refusing to discuss such risks, however.
“We are addressing this press conference from the standpoint that the replicon vaccine should be halted,” Kawada said during the presser.
“Therefore, we have decided to hold this emergency press conference.
“This self-replicating immune agent, scheduled to start regular vaccinations from October 1st, ought to be halted, and I strongly advocate for this action.
“Additionally, we must ensure thorough investigation and verification to provide relief to mRNA vaccine victims who have suffered significant harm.
“This must be systematically carried out.
“Instead of merely discarding unused vaccines, we should facilitate research by passing them on to researchers for analysis.
“I intend to make these demands to the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.”
Professor Dr. Seiji Kojima of Nagoya University also raised concerns about the new injections.
“Compared to those who are unvaccinated, the mortality rate is five times higher if you get vaccinated twice,” Prof. Kojima warned.
“The purpose of receiving vaccination is indeed to reduce the mortality rate, but ironically, the rate was five times higher after receiving the vaccine.”
Professor Murakami of Tokyo Science University also expressed similar concerns.
“Japan is planning a large-scale rollout of self-amplifying vaccines, which are considered hazardous materials…” Murakami told the Japanese people.
“…by the beginning of next month, Japan has the potential to trigger a worldwide disaster.”
“The vaccines do not seem to be effective,” he warned.
“They do not work. They lack efficacy.
“mRNA vaccines have resulted in many deaths, injuries, and victims.”
“Despite knowing they are ineffective, their use could possibly cause significant international damage,” Prof. Murakami added.
“There is also the possibility of person-to-person transmission.
“There is absolutely no need to administer it. There is no need at all.
“Therefore, knowing this and still administering the vaccine, I believe, is a crime. ”

158 Democrats voted against Republican Representative Nancy Mace’s bill that would close loopholes and ensure that undocumented immigrants convicted of sex offenses are deported or deemed inadmissible to the country. Mace said, “We are fed up with headlines about women losing their lives or becoming victims of assailants who trespassed into our country illegally under the Biden-Harris border crisis. This legislation sends a strong message: If you are an illegal who has committed acts of violence against women, you will not find sanctuary here.” She added that those opposing the bill “voted against deporting rapists, pedophiles and murderers of women and kids.”
Opponents of the bill said it was demonizing immigrants..
More than 150 Democrats voted against Republican Representative Nancy Mace‘s bill that would ensure undocumented immigrants convicted of sex offenses are deported or deemed inadmissible to the country.
The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act passed in a 266-158 vote on Wednesday. Every Republican present voted for the bill, as did 51 Democrats, while 158 Democrats voted against it.
The bill would also deport or deem inadmissible to the country undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of, or admit to having committed, sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse or violating a protection order.
It comes as immigration is among the most important issues on the minds of voters ahead of November’s election, with former President Donald Trump and Republicansrepeatedly claiming that President Joe Biden‘s immigration policies have led to a spike in violent crime by people who are in the country illegally. Studies have generally found no link between immigration and violent crime.
Mace told WCIV in Charleston, South Carolina, that the legislation will protect women across the country.

“We are fed up with headlines about women losing their lives or becoming victims of assailants who trespassed into our country illegally under the Biden-Harris border crisis,” Mace said. “This legislation sends a strong message: If you are an illegal who has committed acts of violence against women, you will not find sanctuary here.”
She said those opposing the bill “voted against deporting rapists, pedophiles and murderers of women and kids.”
Opponents of the bill said it was demonizing immigrants.
Representative Pramila Jayapal said the bill would hurt survivors of domestic violence, whom she said are often arrested, charged and convicted along with their abusers.
“Here we are again, debating another partisan bill that fearmongers about immigrants, instead of working together to fix the immigration system,” Jayapal said during a debate on the bill.
“I probably shouldn’t be too surprised. Scapegoating immigrants and attempting to weaponize the crime of domestic violence is appearing to be a time-honored tradition for Republicans.”
The article was always a hypothesized estimate of people that might have died, but now even that estimate has been retracted. The reason for the retraction was that the Belgian dataset that was one of the bases for the piece was found to be “unreliable” (but in reality was fraudulent). The article also repeatedly referenced the New England Journal of Medicine’s 2020 RECOVERY trial. The RECOVERY trial is well known to be a deeply flawed study which, in addition to implementing late treatment in severely ill Covid patients, used extremely high doses of HCQ.
The now retracted publication authors were all French or Canadian, with the primary author a pharmacist by the name of Alexiane Pradelle. According to a rudimentary internet search, Dr. Pradelle had never published before. Subsequently, listed authors were degreed as physicians, pharmacists, and/or professors of their respective disciplines. The main, corresponding author, Jean-Christophe Lega, runs the Evaluation and Modeling of Therapeutic Effects team at the University of Lyon.
Hydroxychloroquine’s Fabled Safety History Contrasts Data
In addition to being a hypothesized estimate, the article also attacked the legendary safety of HCQ, contradicting centuries of the safety of quinolines as a class.
HCQ, chloroquine and quinine are structurally and pharmaceutically/mechanistically related, sharing the same quinoline structural group. The original iteration of quinine was a very fortunate discovery that dates back to the 1600s (at least) as a medicinal tipple used by Jesuit missionaries in South America. It is naturally found in the bark of the Cinchona tree (also called a “Quina-Quina” tree).
Quinine is still available today both as a prescription drug, for similar indications as HCQ including malaria…and as a Covid-19 treatment.
Quinine is so safe that it maybe unique in that the FDA simultaneously permits its use without a prescription, as an ingredient in tonic waters.
Basic logic dictates that, if a drug is safe for long-term use, it would also be safe for short-term use, including (and especially) in Covid-19 early treatment/pre-exposure prophylaxis type indications.
These are pharmacology fundamentals that ought to be known by any pharmacist or physician – let alone to a professor serving as a Journal Editor-in-Chief at a taxpayer-funded state College of Pharmacy.
Did not even one person on her editorial board of over 50 “peer-reviewers” and staff ponder the celebrated and storied history of HCQ (and its predecessors) and how incongruent this study’s findings were before choosing to publish data denigrating HCQ safety?
The correct answer to that might actually be: “no”…
The publishing editorial board all seem to be laboratory bench (non-clinical) research scientists, per their biographies. Although the board does promote itself as meeting DEI requirements of being “gender diverse,” a more important question might be is if they have the appropriate credentials and experience to review and opine on clinically complex drug safety/epidemiology subject matters in the first place.
Is just anyone now allowed to opine on specialty clinical pharmacology drug safety matters?
In certain journals/news publications, the answer to that question seems to be: “yes”…
Those “17,000 Deaths” Never Occurred
Another point of confusion surrounded the interpretation and promotion of this little-known publication by the lay press.
To be exact: there were never “17,000 deaths;” it was always a hypothetical extrapolation of people that could have died, based on “unreliable” (eg, actually, fraudulent) databases on top of the previously mentioned, problematic late-stage RECOVERY-trial-type dosing and timing.
Still, Josh Cohen, a Forbes.com PhD senior healthcare columnist, used this publication to headline an absurdly biased op-ed against HCQ, stating that Trump’s HCQ proposal was “Linked To 17,000 Deaths.” Forbes’ Tufts, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania- trained “healthcare analyst” misrepresented or appeared to not understand the now-retracted study methodology or projections.
As of September 15, 2024, the above and other articles still show up very prominently (on the first page) of a Google search for “hydroxychloroquine deaths”…which never happened.
Here are some screenshots of headlines referencing non-existent deaths based on a now-retracted study:
Journal Editors Were Immediately Warned about Questionable Findings
Almost immediately following the January 2, 2024 publication, its critical flaws including basic miscalculations among many other deficiencies were brought to the attention of Dr. Townsend by Xavier Azalbert and non-profit BonSens.org attorneys starting on Jan 7, 2024. In fact, a total of 9 communications were sent by the above individuals, but none of them were ever shared as “Letters to The Editor” by Dr. Townsend in good faith to inform readers of specific potential shortcomings, as is otherwise commonly done.
Dr. Townsend seemed to forget that bad medical data and publications can do actual patient harm, and kept legitimate and important study criticisms to herself. Instead of taking responsibility and making a leadership decision, she passed the buck to a Committee on Publication Ethics, delaying the needed retraction.
It appallingly took 234 days (~7 months, from the January 2nd publication to August 26th) for Dr. Townsend’s Journal of Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy to finally retract the “unreliable” article. But at that point, untold millions around the world had already been (and continue to be) polluted with outrageously incorrect information about non-existent HCQ deaths.
This raises some questions about Dr. Townsend’s duties and responsibilities as the Editor in Chief:
What efforts were made to correct incorrect headlines and articles published by the lay press, incorrectly frightening patients, pharmacists, and physicians, by fueling false tropes about HCQ?
What immediate efforts are being made to notify news organizations and/or amplify search engine results regarding the now-retracted publication?
What funding source/individual paid the $3,490 (“excluding taxes and fees”) publication fee? (Note: reputable academic journals do not charge to publish articles.)
Does Elsevier’s Journal of Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy meet certain definitions of what is known as a predatory publisher?
Was this Editorial Board qualified to review regulatory/drug safety/epidemiology/any other clinical subjects?
Ethical scientists who believe in truth, transparency, and academic accountability are standing by, waiting for medical and academic justice.
Unethical scientists are also watching this situation unfold, twisting their mustaches, learning about what they could potentially one day get away with.

]’Skimming’ is a crime that involves a device that is placed over an ATM/ credit card payment machine that collects data from people who pay for items with a card and allows the thieves to access their data to create a counterfeit card. Skimming costs banks and financial institutions over $1 billion per year and is on the rise. The videos below show how to avoid the scam. 48 people affiliated with a Romanian crime ring were arrested in Orange County, California in January for skimming crimes with EBT cards. Two months ago, six illegal aliens were arrested in Los Angeles for skimming. [/su_note]
