Pharma company stock loses billions after fake Twitter account tweets that insulin is free in latest Elon Musk verification debacle



A pharmaceutical company lost billions in stock valuation after a fake Twitter account tweeted that insulin was free in the latest debacle from Elon Musk's acquisition of the social media company.

Eli Lilly and Company has been criticized by many for profiting from high insulin pricing, but the company was forced to release a clarification when the fake tweet resulted in a loss of 5% of its stock value.

Pranksters have taken advantage of the confusion surrounding the changes that Musk has made to verification on Twitter by paying his fee and then impersonating celebrities and companies. In some instances they have made statements damaging to the impersonated before Twitter is able to shut them down.

"We are excited to announce insulin is free now," the tweet from a verified account read on Thursday.

\u201cA fake verified account pretending to be Eli Lilly announced that insulin was now free. So they burned a billionaire and big pharma all in one tweet. Sweet.\u201d

The actual account for the company responded soon after.

\u201cWe apologize to those who have been served a misleading message from a fake Lilly account. Our official Twitter account is @LillyPad.\u201d
— Eli Lilly and Company (@Eli Lilly and Company) 1668114541

On Friday, the stock price for the company dropped by more than 5% at one point, costing the company about $20 billion in valuation by some estimates. By the end of trading, the pricing had recovered slightly.

A second fake account posted another message mocking the incident by claiming it had raised the pricing of a diabetes drug to $400. "We can do this whenever we want and there’s nothing you can do about it. Suck it.”

Twitter verification pranks struck other companies, including Nintendo, and celebrities like NBA star LeBron James.

In his first company-wide email on Thursday, Musk warned employees that the company faces "dire" circumstances.

"Without significant subscription revenue, there is a good chance Twitter will not survive the upcoming economic downturn. We need roughly half of our revenue to be subscription," he wrote. "The road ahead is arduous and will require intense work to succeed."

He added that remote work at the company was no longer allowed except in some special cases.

Horowitz: The very concerning data from Scotland



“The vaccines are incredibly safe. They protect us against Omicron; they protect us against Delta; they protect us against COVID." Those were the words of fully vaccinated CDC Director Rochelle Walensky while testifying before the Senate Health Committee with two masks on her face on Jan. 11.

Scottish data shows that the COVID-19 age-standardized case rate is highest among the two-dose vaccinated and lowest among unvaccinated! It further shows this trend of negative efficacy for the double-vaccinated persisting for hospitalizations and deaths. Something is very wrong here, and together with other data points, it raises concerning questions about the negative effect of waning antibodies, constant boosting, and the consequences of a leaky vaccine with narrow-spectrum suboptimal antibodies against an ever-evolving virus.

Every Wednesday, Public Health Scotland (PHS) has been publishing a weekly report on COVID data juxtaposed to vaccination rates. Table 14 of this week’s “Public Health Scotland COVID-19 & Winter Statistical Report” lays bare in plain English (and math) a rate of negative efficacy for the vaccine:

As you can see, while the overall Omicron wave seems to be receding in Scotland, age-standardized case rates per 100,000 people were the lowest in the unvaccinated cohort every week for the past four weeks. Thus, it’s not just the fact that the unvaccinated accounted for only 11.5% of cases the past two weeks, but even adjusted for age-stratified vaccination rates (PHS already does the math for you) the unvaccinated had the lowest infection rate out of the four cohorts – especially during the peak of Omicron. Furthermore, we see that even the triple-vaccinated clearly have no efficacy against infection, although they have some degree less negative efficacy than the double-vaccinated.

Here is a linear presentation of the depth of the Omicron wave by vaccination status, where you can see that the unvaccinated had the shallowest wave:

This also coincides with the latest data from the U.K. Health Security Agency of the entire United Kingdom. This data now shows higher rates of infection among the triple-vaccinated in all but the youngest people.

Full stop right here. Any public policy measure – from vaccine passports to discrimination – cannot be justified under the science, even if one’s conscience is OK with apartheid. In fact, clearly this shows that, especially with Omicron, the vaccinated are the super-spreaders. Before we get to hospitalizations and deaths, the notion that the unvaccinated are somehow responsible for the continued spread of this virus is completely contradicted by the data. Some might suggest without evidence that the unvaccinated possibly have a higher rate of prior infection; however, Omicron seems to attack even those who already had previous versions of SARS-CoV-2.

Now onto hospitalizations and deaths. While the vaccines clearly provided some degree of protection for some people for several months against severe illness (while possibly causing even more spread), the Scottish data paints a concerning picture of the long-term consequences of the mass vaccination. People like Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche have been warning that if you mass-vaccinate with a leaky, narrow-spectrum (only recognizes spike protein) vaccine in middle of a raging pandemic, the virus would get more virulent over time.

This concern manifests itself at two time periods when the antibodies are “sub-optimal.” There is a period of a few weeks after the jab when the antibodies are strong enough to bind but not strong enough to neutralize, and then at the back end (estimated at four to six months for the original shot, but likely much shorter for the booster), a period when they wane. The media and public health tyrants like to focus your attention on a snapshot of time, but ignore the totality of circumstances that the shots are creating negative efficacy before and after, while using accounting gimmicks to mask the problem.

Remember how the lockdowns were hailed as a success for a number of countries that initially did well, while Sweden now has the lowest rate of excess mortality in Europe in 2021?

Just as with lockdowns, the mass vaccination needs to be judged after all nine innings of the ballgame.

With that said, let’s take a look at tables 15 and 16 – the acute COVID hospitalization and death rates, respectively:

What is clearly evident both from the hospitalizations and deaths is that the double-vaccinated are now worse off per capita even against critical illness, and that pattern appears to be accelerating. Again, this evidently shows a pattern of negative efficacy even against critical illness over time as the shots wear off, increasingly quickly with Omicron. Why is there no desire to study the source of this negative efficacy and whether the fact that the vaccine is non-sterilizing, wanes quickly with sub-optimal antibodies, is narrow-spectrum, and is increasingly out of synch with the changing virus is going to make the pandemic worse in the long run?

Some will look at the chart and conclude that the boosters are amazing. But first it’s important to recognize that even the boosters don’t stop transmission at all even in the short run, and then, based on the latest hospitalization data, appear to wane just like the original shots. Relatedly, you will notice a pattern: the unvaccinated and two-dose cohorts always appear worse and the one-shot and three-shot cohorts always appear better. This is where the most important part of the data set comes into play.

You see, all cases during the first 21 days after the first shot are counted in the “unvaccinated” cohort, while the first 14 days after one receives the 3rd shot is counted among the two-dose cohort. See the definitions from Appendix 6 of the report.

We know from numerous studies (see here and here) that people are actually the most vulnerable to COVID during the first few weeks on the upswing of the antibodies, when T cells are likely suppressed. This is why the health departments smartly count them in the unvaccinated pile. Hence, for all these months, all the cases and deaths from those made more vulnerable from the first shot – which is caused by the mass vaccination, not the unvaccinated – are counted against the unvaccinated. Over time, as the shots waned on the back end, the truth became evident. Now they are starting the cycle all over again by making the two-dose group look even worse than they are by dumping all of the cases caused by the initial take-up from the third dose into the cohort of double-vaccinated.

It’s the ultimate pandemic Ponzi scheme. Just wait another two months and see what the fourth-shot group looks like relative to the triple-dosers, as the immediate vaccination causes an even greater spike in cases. In other words, you have to look in totality where we are headed rather than manipulating a snapshot of time.

What this report shows is that just 18.5% of the hospitalizations in Scotland were unvaccinated, but even that number includes numerous people within 21 days of the first shot, which is clearly a very vulnerable time. It’s akin to telling someone in a foxhole to run across the field of fire to get to a bunker that might be safer, but he runs an even higher risk of getting cut down before reaching the bunker. Then, after a few hours, the bunker will get overrun by the enemy and you have to run through a new field of fire to get to the next bunker.

Likewise, when a therapeutic lowers symptom severity through immune suppression, it’s a flash in the pan. Eventually, that mechanism of action will come back to bite you in the proverbial arm. And this is even before we get to the long-term concern that multiple shots will create permanent immune suppression by creating original antigenic sin, a position now articulated by the European Medicines Agency and top Israeli immunologists.

Just how prominent is the infection rate within the first 14-21 days of getting the shot, thereby completely distorting the epidemiological data and ultimate perception of efficacy of the shots? Although we don’t have data from the U.K. or U.S. on the timing of infection relative to vaccination period, Alberta, Canada evidently publishes some of that data. According to U.K. researcher Joel Smalley, who screenshotted the chart from the Alberta government’s website before it was taken down, roughly 40% of cases, 47.6% of hospitalizations, and 56% of deaths among the vaccinated occurred within 14 days of vaccination! Here is the graphical presentation that was on the website, according to Smalley. The top chart represents cases, the middle is hospitalizations, and the bottom is deaths:

Alberta, like many governments, counts the first 14 days as unvaccinated. In Scotland, they are counting the first 21 days after the first dose as unvaccinated and 14 days following subsequent doses in the cohort of the previous numbered dose. Obviously, we can’t mix the Alberta time-based data with the overall Scottish data, but common sense dictates that a bunch of cases from the immune suppression period of the initial vaccination are being blamed on the unvaccinated, and the perception of the booster shots is also likely being ameliorated at the expense of the double-jabbed cohort. For example, in Alberta, it appears that roughly 60% of the hospitalizations in the vaxxed cohort got COVID within 21 days of the shot, which in Scotland, would all be counted as unvaccinated cases. Thus, they deliberately chose the cutoff date for designation of vax status after the inflection point where they see the most COVID cases post-vax!

This deep dive into the data from Scotland should serve as a Rosetta stone for the macro observations we have seen from day one. We are seeing the most vaccinated nations and states being hammered with more cases than ever in a way that defies anything we should expect to see from a safe and effective vaccine. Here are just a few of the many examples:

I mean. When you compare case rates and vax rates for the past 3 weeks you'd think that the line wouldn't look like this. But it does. That trend line should be going in the other direction.pic.twitter.com/85Wdgj9Z2b

Dr. Fauci recently told Bloomberg news that “there are some inherent ‘non-believers’ that no matter what you say, they give you a real problem.” He’s right. It takes a true religious level of adherence – like a believer – to continue supporting his narrative, despite the plain facts before our every eyes.

Horowitz: It’s now clear that the leaky shots have made the virus worse than ever

So, what have we gotten after injuring countless people all over the world with leaky, ineffective injections? Well, last week, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bragged that his state is second in the nation in booster shots, has over 80% of all adults with at least one shot, and is sixth in the nation in injecting 5- to 11-year-olds. What he failed to say is that over the past week, Minnesota and Michigan are No. 1 in COVID cases! A leftist like Waltz will never wake up and smell the vaccine-mediated viral enhancement, but will the GOP governors finally call for a suspension of this pandemic-inducing injection?

Over the summer, as people like me and Joe Rogan began popularizing the “leaky chicken vaccine” theory to explain why a non-sterilizing vaccine would make the virus worse, the media dredged up the author of that 2015 study to denounce Joe Rogan’s use of the theory.

In 2015, Penn State biologist Andrew Read published a study explaining how a leaky chicken vaccine essentially exacerbated Marek’s disease in chickens to the point that it was able to defy the laws of microbiology and become both more transmissible and more virulent at the same time. "Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease," he concluded in the study, published in Plos Biology.

When we began to see more excess mortality from the virus than ever before in July and August, Rogan pointed out this study as a very logical thesis to explain why a leaky vaccine could make things worse. On Aug. 8, Forbes posted an interview with Read in which he said Rogan was misapplying his work. What Read said in his rebuttal at the time should give you goose bumps, now that we know our own government admits Rogan was right about the vaccine not stopping transmission.

Read responds: “We're talking a very different virus and very different vaccines. The details in biology really matter a lot. The chicken vaccines we worked with, the first-generation vaccine, definitely reduced disease, severity and death.” But unlike the COVID mRNA vaccines, the chicken vaccine “didn't stop transmission at all.” And this is one of the key differences between what was being studied in Read’s paper and our current situation with the global pandemic. “Those [vaccinated] chickens just kept churning out the virus for weeks and weeks and weeks.” Again, this is a key difference. “It’s a very different virus from SARS-2. A key issue here is transmissibility.”

More transmission increases the likelihood of mutation. Thankfully, COVID-19 Vaccines reduce transmission and reduce opportunity for mutation.

“Think about what's happening with evolution,” offers Read. “Mutations can occur anytime the [virus] replicates. So the more replication, the more variants are generated. At the moment, the vast majority of the replication is happening in unvaccinated people. You can tell that because the majority of cases in the hospital are unvaccinated individuals. That is where the evolutionary action is happening at the moment.”

And as they say, the rest is history. Here we are several months later, and nobody disagrees with the fact that the shots appear to spread the virus even more, a clear reality from the best data in the world produced weekly by the U.K. Even the assumption that the shots protect against severe illness is blunted by the establishment’s own demands that everyone get endless boosters. So in many ways, this is now worse than the leaky Marek’s disease vaccine, which Read admits will generate durable variants.

It’s not like we weren’t warned. French virologist Luc Montagnier won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of HIV, so he has authority on this issue. He warned, “It is clear that the new variants are created by antibody-mediated selection due to the vaccination” and, “The history books will show that because it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.”

And yet, the worse the virus gets, the more governments demand we vaccinate again and again with a leaky vaccine that is so narrow-spectrum, it’s easy for the virus to escape and then become more virulent.

Just look at the excess death data in the U.S. There were 193K excess deaths for the past 13 weeks, which is 112% higher than last year!

Excess Deaths in the US are through the roof!\n\n+112% all-cause excess deaths just the last 13 weeks!\n\nThat is 193 thousand people died more than normal in just 13 weeks! That's besides these widely available vaccines... Something is not right!pic.twitter.com/tqJiVflVUD

For weeks 33-45, there were 68.4K more COVID deaths this year than last year and roughly 33.5K non-COVID excess deaths in 2021 over the same period last year. This likely means that not only is the vaccine making the virus worse, but it’s also killing people with sundry ailments created by the spike protein. If one were purposely trying to kill civilization, one could not have done a better job than creating a shot that is leakier than the flu shot but exponentially more dangerous.

Europe is now even worse. With many countries having near-universal vaccination rates among adults, cases are now 20% higher than at any time during the pre-vaccination waves. Ditto for many states in America.

Collectively, cases in Europe are now 20% higher than they were at any point in 2020 or the winter wave in early 2021. \n\nMeanwhile, EU health statistics show 81% of all adults 18+ vaccinated and 77% fully vaccinated.\n\nhttps://vaccinetracker.ecdc.europa.eu/public/extensions/COVID-19/vaccine-tracker.html#uptake-tab\u00a0\u2026

Pfizer is responding to fears of the new b.1.1.529 Botswanan variant with a pledge to come out with more leaky vaccines. The company fails to concede that its shot has already completely backfired for the Delta variant and runs the risk of selecting for the most immune-escaped variant to become the dominant one. There is no evidence this “Omicron variant” is more problematic, but we already know that what has been circulating everywhere over the past half-year is more problematic than what we had pre-vaccine.



As Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, one of the greatest vaccinoligists of the generation, has repeatedly warned, a leaky vaccine will help select for the most durable mutations and make them the dominant strains. It doesn’t mean that the shots created these mutations – just that they create natural selection for the worst ones to beat out the other strains. “It’s important to understand the evolutionary capacity that a pathogen has when it is put under widespread immune pressure, that is something you don’t have in clinical studies, for example, the population effect,” Vanden Bossche recently said in an in-depth interview with the HighWire. I’m 200% convinced that it’s going to lead to a catastrophe.” If there ever was a way to create something as bad as Ebola that spreads like a cold, these shots might be the magic and tragic recipe.

It’s no longer true to say the vaccines are not working. They are working quite well for their intended purpose. When all the dust settles, mass vaccination with a leaky injection will likely supplant lockdowns as the worst mistake in the history of human civilization.

Columbia University professor complains that the American flag is a 'symbol of genocide'



A Columbia University adjunct lecturer insists that the American flag is a hateful symbol of genocide.

What are the details?

Professor Anthony Zenkus of the university's school of social work, responded to a tweet that said the hammer and sickle "is a symbol of genocide."

Zenkus tweeted, "The American Flag is a symbol of genocide. Unless centuries of slavery and the vanquishing of Native American nations doesn't figure into your equation."

The original user's tweet said, "[T]he hammer and sickle is a symbol of genocide. What you gonna admire next, the swastika?"

What else?

According to Campus Reform, the Al Gore-trained professor's faculty profile reveals that he is an "activist on issues of racial justice, income equality, and climate justice." Zenkus has also reportedly been an organizer with Occupy Wall Street.

Common Dreams reports that Zenkus is also a licensed social worker and social work educator who "trains judges, law enforcement, medical professionals, and educators on sexual violence and trauma."

The organization also reports that Zenkus has taught at Adelphi University.

In 2018, a user on Rate My Professors said that Zenkus seemed more like a social justice warrior than a social worker.

The anonymous user wrote, "Prof. Zenkus is clearly passionate about what he does, but he comes off as more of a social justice warrior than a social worker. He is very idealistic and shares his personal view very openly. Check out his Twitter and you'll see what I mean. He is very intelligent and I did enjoy taking his class, so at least there is that."

Turning Point USA's Professor Watchlist also describes Zenkus as director of education for The Safe who made the organization's list after "responding to a conservative journalists [sic] comment" about an apparently pro-capitalism CNN tweet.

"Zenkus responded to the pro-capitalism tweet sent by the journalist by saying, 'Odd how you forget the millions who died under #capitalism. The two world wars, centuries of slavery, and the genocide of native americans [sic]. Bet they didn't think that was cool either,'" the organization noted.
