Topic: Dr Kat

The World Health Organization and the UN are utilizing TikTok to reach audiences, featuring "Dr. Kat" explaining levels of evidence and dismissing anecdotal reports of vaccine injuries. The discussion also notes high levels of vaccine distrust within the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) community. The hosts find it ironic that a doctor would use a Chinese-owned platform to lecture on the quality of information.

TikTok creator Dr. Kat, a member of the WHO-backed Team Halo, cited a Merck statement claiming there is no scientific basis for using ivermectin against COVID-19. The hosts argue that Merck has a financial incentive to discredit the off-patent drug in favor of more expensive treatments.

The World Health Organization issued a notice regarding PCR testing standards, leading to reports of laboratories lowering cycle thresholds to 27 cycles. Critics suggest this change, occurring shortly after the U.S. presidential transition, is designed to reduce reported case numbers. Epidemiologist Dr. Kat addressed the notice on TikTok, arguing that false positives are rare and emphasizing the need for clinical diagnosis alongside genetic material detection.

Dr. Kat, a UN-trained "epidemiologist" on TikTok, explains the deaths of 23 elderly people in Norway after receiving the mRNA vaccine. She attributes the deaths to "common side effects" like fever and nausea that proved fatal to the frail, a response the hosts find callous and dismissive.

The UN and WHO are training "Team Halo" doctors to use TikTok for pandemic messaging. Dr. Kat, an epidemiologist, promoted the "Swiss Cheese Model" of defense, which suggests multiple layers of protection like hand-washing and masking eventually block all holes for the virus.

Dr. Kat and media figures like Amy Goodman are highlighting that the U.S. is on track for over 3 million total deaths in 2020, an increase of roughly 400,000 over 2019. Critics argue that these figures are being used to confuse the public by conflating total annual mortality with specific COVID-19 deaths, often ignoring population aging and growth.
