Swiss Policy Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,
21 Jun 2021
19 Jun 2021 – Since March 2020, SPR has warned that PCR mass testing in the general population (“test, test, test”) is a huge mistake. The issue never was that PCR tests didn’t work or that the Drosten PCR paper was “peer-reviewed” in just one day. The issue is that PCR tests cannot determine an acute infection, ongoing infectiousness, and actual disease, especially if ct values are not taken into account.

Pre-Symptomatic Transmission Is Very Real
Swiss Policy Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,
14 Jun 2021
12 Jun 2021 – Because many authorities justified mask mandates with pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic coronavirus transmission, many skeptics and critics tried to argue against the existence or importance of pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission. But pre- and asymptomatic transmission is real for the same reason that face masks don’t work: aerosols.

29 Apr 2021 – The etiology of “long Covid” has remained rather mysterious, but recent findings by British experts indicate that even a “mild” coronavirus infection may induce micro blood clots and blood vessel inflammation in the lungs.

‘Vaccine Passports’: An Update
Swiss Policy Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,
26 Apr 2021
20 Apr 2021 – From a strategic perspective, ‘vaccine passports’ are the most important aspect of the entire pandemic; in fact, they are more important than the pandemic itself, at least in the long term. This is because vaccine passport advocates, such as the ID2020 consortium founded by Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation, openly state that ‘vaccine passports’ may be used as a platform for a global biometric ID, allowing unprecedented population control and monitoring, modeled after China.

Swiss Policy Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,
22 Mar 2021
18 Mar 2021 – Ten years ago, in March 2011, the US regime change operation against Syria commenced.

Swiss Policy Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,
1 Mar 2021
22 Feb 2021 – Overall, medical aspects are only the operational level of the coronavirus pandemic: in countries where the median age of covid deaths is above 80 years, the public health impact of the pandemic will be quite limited and primarily related to serious cases of ‘long covid’.

Covid RNA Vaccines: Close to 1000 Post-Vaccination Deaths
Swiss Policy Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,
8 Feb 2021
6 Feb 2021 – Data from vaccine adverse event reporting systems in the US (VAERS), the EU (EUDRA) and the UK (MHRA) indicates that covid RNA vaccinations have already been associated with close to 1000 deaths and several thousand non-trivial ‘adverse events’, including anaphylactic (allergic) shocks, temporary facial paralysis, and, in a few cases, birth defects. These figures may be an underestimate, as vaccine reporting systems typically cover only a fraction of adverse events.

Swiss Policy Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,
28 Sep 2020
25 Sep 2020 – Many lockdown skeptics assume that post-acute “long COVID” in young and healthy people doesn’t really exist or is insignificant; they assume it must be another media scare tactic to justify lockdowns. But they are wrong: long COVID is real, significant, and entirely expected.

14 Sep 2020
9 Sep 2020 – The WHO-commissioned meta-study on the effectiveness of facemasks, published in the medical journal The Lancet in June 2020, has been instrumental in shifting global facemask policies during the Covid-19 pandemic.
