And we have this unhinged group of anti-vaxxers in Germany... Germany kidnap plot: Gang planned to overthrow democracy https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61106241 German police have detained four people accused of plotting to create "civil war conditions" so they could eventually overthrow democracy. Prosecutors say the group, linked to far-right and anti-Covid movements, were planning to destroy power stations to cause a nationwide blackout. They also wanted to kidnap Germany's health minister, who backed the country's strict coronavirus controls. The group are due before a judge on Thursday. A fifth suspect remains at large. In total, investigators have identified 12 people they believe were connected to the group, which used the Telegram messaging app to communicate. The gang - who used the name United Patriots - were part of the Reichsbürger (Citizens of the Reich), whose members reject the German state as a legal entity, and opposed the German government's anti-Covid measures, the prosecutors said. According to TV news programme Report Mainz, the group wanted to attack substations and power lines, destroying the country's energy infrastructure. In a statement, the prosecutors office said the aim was to cause a long-lasting nationwide power failure "intended to cause conditions similar to civil war and ultimately to overthrow the democratic system in Germany". A number of high profile people were allegedly also marked out as potential kidnap victims. Two of the suspects are believed to have been planning an attack on Health Minister Karl Lauterbach. Mr Lauterbach said the plot showed that coronavirus protests had become radicalised, and promised that his work would not be affected. "There are forces that intended to destabilise the state and democracy. They are using the Covid protests. This is a small minority in our society but they are highly dangerous," he told a news conference. The group were arrested in a series of raids on Wednesday, with police also seizing numerous guns including a Kalashnikov. They also found gold bars and cash in euros and foreign currency totalling almost €20,000 (£16,600; $21,800). The group, aged 41 to 55, are accused of preparing a serious act of violence that endangers the state and of violating a weapons control act.

Man Admits To Making Death Threats Against Dr. Fauci Over Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination https://www.ibtimes.com/man-admits-...i-over-mandatory-covid-19-vaccination-3518483 Thomas Patrick Connally, Jr. pleaded guilty Monday Connally would face a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison for threatening a federal official The court has scheduled his sentencing for Aug. 4 A West Virginia man has admitted sending death threats to several federal and state health officials including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country's top infectious disease expert over their stance on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. The 56-year-old man, identified as Thomas Patrick Connally, Jr. pleaded guilty Monday to sending a series of threatening emails to kill the health officials and their families, the Department of Justice said in a news release. Connally admitted sending a series of encrypted emails threatening to kill Dr. Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health(NIH), and members of his family. In one of the emails, Connally threatened that Dr. Fauci would be "dragged into the street, beaten to death and set on fire." Connally also admitted sending death threats to Dr. Francis Collins, the former Director of the NIH, Dr. Rachel Levine, the Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a Massachusetts public health official and a religious leader. Connally said in the plea agreement that he had sent four emails threatening Dr. Collins and his family with physical assault and death if he did not stop speaking about the need for "mandatory" COVID-19 vaccinations. "As stated in his plea agreement, Connally admitted that he sent the threats to Drs. Fauci and Collins with the intent to intimidate or interfere with the performance of their official duties and with the intent to retaliate against Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins for performing their official duties, including discussing COVID-19 and its testing and prevention," the news release said. Connally’s emails contained homophobic and antisemitic slurs with disturbing and graphic threats, reported news outlet Law & Crime. "Hope you get a bullet in your compromised satanic skull today," Connally said in a missive to Dr. Fauci on Dec. 28, 2020. He was arrested in July 2021 and would face a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison for threatening a federal official. The court has scheduled his sentencing for Aug. 4.

First it was "take Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and this other stuff, it will prevent you from getting Covid". Now it is "take Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and this other stuff, it will cure your Long Covid". Either way these conspiracy grifters are making money off the stupid MAGA sheep. Anti-Vaxxers Pivot to ‘Treating’ Long COVID Massive doses of vitamin C, pyramid scheme prod and, of course, ivermectin are all on the menu. https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkgybz/anti-vaxxers-pivot-to-treating-long-covid On an April Zoom call crowded with more than 300 people, the energy was high, and the mood a little desperate. “I had Covid for 48 days!” a participant wrote in the chat box. “I was taking Ivermectin, systemic enzymes, Coq10 , NAC, vitamin D3, zinc, Quercetin, vitamin A, grape seed extract, vitamin C, garlic, Echinacea, Mothers milk tea, Lomatium, lobelia, MULLEIN.” “Completely lost all smell & taste for about 7 or 8 months,” another woman, who said she was 64, wrote. “Since then I have had a very nasty smell & taste which makes it hard to eat at all. I have to force myself to eat to keep my weight up.” “I believe I’m suffering because I’m around jabbed people,” another person chimed in, using the anti-vaccine shorthand for a vaccinated person. “Yep, it’s a bioweapon,” another agreed. The occasion was a webinar entitled “Conquering Long Covid,” put on by the organizers of an event called the Health Freedom Summit, one of a glut of anti-vaccine conferences that have launched in recent years. HFS is run by a group of women who market themselves as mothers and health-oriented community activists, and since launching in April 2020, they’ve hosted some of the anti-vaccine world’s most omnipresent names. From the start, HFS’ founders and speakers have sought to cast doubt on the realities of the pandemic, and the conference bills itself as “the first American event to offer a ‘second opinion’ on the COVID narrative.” The 2022 event will, the organizers promise, feature “whistleblowers on mandated vaccines, masks, and lockdowns exposing medical fraud, government overstep, and disinformation.” In other words, COVID as a disease isn’t depicted as fake, exactly, but certainly overblown, a threat distorted into monstrous proportions to justify what HFS persistently calls “medical tyranny.” On the Zoom call, though, they were doing something quite different: marketing a promised treatment for long COVID symptoms. “The culprit seems to be getting sick with COVID or taking the shot, so a vaccine injury thing,” said Alana Newman, one of the hosts and founders of HFS, as attendees joined the call, conflating long COVID symptoms with specious claims about COVID vaccines being broadly unsafe. “Our job is to point you in the right direction. We are all about natural health and are in a position to grab the science, distill it down so it’s helpful and palatable and deliver it to you.” As the call wore on, though, two things became clear: that the presentation was another attempt to peddle vaccine skepticism to their audience, and that “grabbing the science” meant shilling a series of products from a multi-level marketing company called Life Vantage. Among them were a nootropic drink, which Newman claimed crosses the blood-brain barrier and “goes into the brain and heals it,” which is not a thing that a drink can do, and other products that the hosts promised would “turn on mitochondria” in the body and “energize” them, as well as healing the “oxidative stress” they claimed was causing long COVID. The commenters in the chat quickly turned sour. “This is starting to feel like a timeshare presentation,” one complained. “A 72- hour fast will do all that and more for free.” “This is a multi-level marketing presentation disguised as a Long Covid presentation!” another exclaimed. “I didn’t realize you were going to be selling us products instead of giving more information,” another person echoed. “Very disappointing.” The Health Freedom Summit founders are not alone in seeing a new market. Several people and organizations who have promoted vaccine hesitancy and COVID denialism are now pivoting to purported “treatments” for long COVID symptoms. And many of them rely on the same specious claims and unproven medicines that they’ve been selling all along, as well as conflated notions of vaccine injury and post-COVID symptoms. Take, for instance, the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), best known for its insistent promotion of ivermectin as a cure or preventative for COVID. Last summer, the FLCCC released what one of its founders, Pierre Kory, called a “long haul Covid protocol.” On the FLCCC website, though, the I-RECOVER protocol, as it’s called, is described as being a “post-vaccine treatment,” and involves ivermectin (naturally), as well as intermittent fasting and daily amounts of vitamin C that greatly exceed the recommended dose and could cause diarrhea, nausea, and other unpleasant gut-based effects. In February, Kory announced that he was creating his own “Covid specialty tele-health practice,” separate from the FLCCC. “My new practice will treat acute Covid or prescribe meds to have on hand if you fall ill with COVID,” he wrote on Substack, “but our main focus will be on treating Long-Haul and Post-Vaccine syndromes. We are here to help.” For a price: consultations with Kory’s staff cost $1250, and consultations with Kory himself cost $1650, per his website. (The practice does not seem to take insurance, but says it provides “Discounted fees or pro-bono consults” in “cases of financial hardship.”) The World Council for Health, a faux-medical body dedicated to promoting vaccine hesitancy and ivermectin as a COVID treatment, is also getting in on the game. In a weekly roundtable discussion online, it hosts a variety of people making dubious medical claims; a recent one featured a talk from a “holistic podiatrist” titled “Long Covid & Vaccine Injury: How to Move Forward, Understand the Root, and Heal the Damage.” While the presentation was somewhat garbled, it made the same general attempt to link COVID vaccines and the idea of long COVID in the minds of an already vaccine-skeptical audience. Meanwhile, Joseph Mercola, a well-established purveyor of misinformation in the natural health world, appears to be recommending probiotics for the treatment of long COVID, as seen in a January blog post on Substack available only to paying subscribers. Mercola has previously been one of many, many pseudoscientific experts peddling “spike protein detox,” a purported, extremely not-real “detoxification” system for people who believe they are suffering ill effects from being vaccinated, or from being around a vaccinated person. These incursions into the poorly-understood world of long COVID represent the latest attempt in the anti-vaccine world to figure out ways to commercialize and monetize the pandemic, an attempt that will, in all likelihood, only continue with new products, new promises, and new claims. But the anti-vaccine personalities peddling long COVID treatments ultimately merely offer more of the same: hollow promises, and a belated acknowledgment that the threat they dismissed was, in the end, all too real.
Texas man Scott Harris gets 6 months for threatening Maryland vaccine advocate https://www.cbsnews.com/dfw/news/scott-eli-harris-vaccine-jail/ A Texas man was sentenced to six months in federal prison Tuesday for threatening a Maryland doctor who has been a prominent advocate for COVID-19 vaccines, a federal prosecutor said. Scott Eli Harris, 52, of Aubrey, Texas, pleaded guilty in February to threats transmitted by interstate communication. U.S. Attorney for Maryland Erek L. Barron announced the sentence, which will be followed by three years of supervised release, in a news release Wednesday. "While we are all entitled to our own opinion, no one has the right to threaten the life of someone because of race, national origin, or because of holding different views," Barron said in a statement. "Threats like these will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." According to Harris' plea agreement and statements made in connection with the plea hearing, Harris sent a threatening message from his cellphone to the doctor. Court documents identify the doctor only as "Dr. L. W., who had been a vocal proponent of the COVID-19 vaccine." Harris' message included violent statements, such as: "Never going to take your wonder drug. My 12 gauge promises I won't. .… I can't wait for the shooting to start." Harris' message also made reference to the doctor's Asian American background and national origin. "Mr. Harris has expressed deep and sincere remorse for his actions, and he has provided the U.S. Attorney's Office with a heartfelt apology letter to share with the victim," Assistant Federal Public Defender Cynthia A. Frezzo said in an email, noting that his arrest and supervision have allowed Harris, a disabled veteran, to get mental health care he needed. "At the time of the offense, Mr. Harris was in the throes of undiagnosed, service-related mental illness." They are disappointed that prosecutors requested incarceration, but Harris "understands the seriousness of his actions and why the court felt the need to impose a period of incarceration to deter others from engaging in similar conduct," Frezzo said.
