You think what you've about the hospitals and covid is terrible, in fact the truth is a lot worse. Nurse Lucy Balfour was ready to quit. But first her partner, journalist David Skye, goes undercover at her hospital to report on the chaos and confusion, the E-R egos, the slave nurses, the unvaccinated patients and the ice trucks full of bodies dead and alive.

After Brett Whitson got his second covid vaccination, he felt good, very good; better than he could remember. This despite the fact that he had been fired from his anchorman position at the local television for refusing to talk about Trump's "cures" for the coronavirus. That didn't seem to matter anymore.

He remembered having a conversation with someone who explained that after people of higher consciousness got fully vaccinated, their lives changed dramatically. Not only did they feel better, they could also hear the thoughts of other people. For Brett, this was just the beginning.

Quality journalism requires that a news reportanswer six questions Who, What, When Where, How, and Why.

When there were no communications from the aliens, the Pentagon sent up four fighter jets to check them out. The fighters disappeared off the radar screens. Deeming that an act of war, they sent 50 nuclear missiles against the spaceships. They too were gone without a trace.Then, unbeknownst to the rest of the country, four every-day Americans were beamed up to meet with the alien commander and his deputy. They learned the frightening truth about what was going to happen to the Earth if....it was a very big if. In fact, if's don't get any bigger.
