The FDA detects highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) in pasteurized cow's milk following a human infection in Texas. Claims are made that disease outbreaks like swine flu and Ebola are timed with U.S. election seasons to spread fear. Dairy farmers in New Mexico and Texas report lockdowns and suppressed milk prices due to the outbreak.

Dr. Dennis Rancourt presents research on all-cause mortality, arguing that historical data from 1900 to the present shows predictable seasonal patterns and spikes related to wars or economic collapses. He asserts that CDC-claimed pandemics in 1957, 1968, and 2009 produced no detectable excess mortality. Rancourt further claims the 1918 Spanish Flu was not a viral respiratory disease because it primarily affected young adults rather than the elderly.

Dr. Dennis Rancourt presents a scientific analysis of all-cause mortality data from 1900 to the present, arguing that historical "pandemics" like the 1957 and 1968 flu did not cause detectable excess deaths. He asserts that the 1918 Spanish Flu was not a viral respiratory disease but was related to other factors, as it primarily killed young adults rather than the elderly. Rancourt emphasizes that all-cause mortality is "hard data" that cannot be easily manipulated by government narratives.

Health officials in British Columbia have announced the reinstatement of mask mandates in all healthcare settings starting next Tuesday. The move is attributed to rising COVID-19 and flu cases, though critics argue it is part of a coordinated "soft launch" of global mandates. The directive requires continuous masking for all healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in outpatient clinics and physician offices.

The Italian Institute of Health drastically reduced the country's official COVID death toll by over 97% after changing the definition of a fatality to include only those who died exclusively from the virus. The newspaper Il Tempo reports that the number dropped from 130,000 to under 4,000. Paul Joseph Watson notes that the vast majority of previous deaths involved patients with multiple comorbidities, making the virus less deadly than a typical seasonal flu.

Paul Joseph Watson highlights a New York Times report admitting that outdoor COVID-19 transmission is likely below 0.1%, contradicting previous CDC claims. He criticizes the continued use of masks outdoors as "virtue signaling" and mocks individuals who still fear brief encounters in elevators. Watson also notes Anthony Fauci's suggestion that masks may become a permanent fixture during future flu seasons.

Lecturer Dr. David Thunder warns that governments have established a precedent to suspend civil liberties whenever a harsh flu season occurs. He argues that the lull in COVID cases is seasonal and that officials will wrongly take credit for it to justify future restrictions. Thunder calls for citizens to peacefully but firmly push back against government overreach.
