The crooked firm Respilon also operates in others countries. The owners are husband and wife Roman and Jana Zima. They are under the investigation by the Czech Business Inspectors. Respilon offers inferior
respirators, under counterfeit certificates. On the picture taken on March 25th 2020 are Health Secretary Vojtech Adams and co-owner of Respilon Jana Zima, signing contract for the delivery of 100.000 highest quality face masks per week, (after the gift of regular 30.000 face masks). The Department of Health already cancelled this contract.
On the Twitter iDNES is first reaction: “The thousand crown question: How can Health Secretary sign any contract with some lady who has ten not yet paid off executors’ financial rulings against her. Isn’t obvious that she doesn’t give a damn about her legal obligations? Isn’t clear to anyone how this contract will end?” And I add that her husband and co-owner of Respilon, Roman Zima have, according to legal evidence, also 27 still unpaid off executors’ rulings against him?!

The medical concept—known as "convalescent plasma" or "convalescent sera"—dates back to the early 20th century, and was used successfully in the past to counter epidemics including mumps and the measles. Infusions of antibody-laden blood have been used with reported success in prior outbreaks, including the SARS epidemic and the 1918 flu pandemic

With a vaccine for COVID-19 still a long way from being realized, Johns Hopkins immunologist Arturo Casadevall is working to revive a century-old blood-derived treatment for use in the United States in hopes of slowing the spread of the disease.
With the right pieces in place, the treatment could be set up at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore within a matter of weeks, Casadevall says.

Seventy five years ago, Soviet Red Army entered the Nazi’s concentration lager Auschwitz and liberated several thousand prisoners who had the luck to escape death by gas or slave labor in
this Nazi’s factory of death.
… But what is not quite well known is the reality, that before the crematoria ovens and the ashes of millions slain human beings had time to cool down, the concentration camp Auschwitz was restored and used for the original purpose again.
Some could say – that’s impossible, the Nazis were defeated, they absolutely couldn’t imprison and murder additional people ever again. Yes, that’s true, but we are not talking here about Nazis, but about their former allies, the Soviet Communists.

Soon after the Red Army arrived in Auschwitz in January 1945, the entire site of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau was turned into a memorial museum, which ever since has promoted the slogan ‘Never Again’.
However, this was an imperative that the Soviet authorities chose not to apply to themselves. Within weeks of the camp’s liberation, thousands of Poles were again behind barbed wire at the former death camp. This time, instead of Hände hoch!, the prisoners heard Ruki vverh!.
In early 1945, the NKVD created three camps. The first, which they called Lagier 22, was in the main camp, Auschwitz I, and was intended mainly for German POWs before they were sent to Siberia or elsewhere.

This exhibition was also shown in central building of the European Parliament, but there was shortly after opening canceled and expelled because of shockingly brutal photographs.

The 26th November 2019 marks the 9th anniversary of the founding of our group aimed for the support of freedom and democracy in our country. At the same day last year (2018), quite symbolically, when I was absent due to attendance at trial proceeding, the judicial executor broke door locks to my house and busted inside. Without any independent control, he searched and inspected the premise, from the basement to the attic. In lieu of the fine 800.000 crowns for the “crime” of freedom of speech I was under (6x100.000 fines + 200.000 so called “expense” of the executor), confiscated all my computers, several personal articles and few family heirlooms valued cca 10.000 crowns. More pricey articles he passed over. For more than 20 months my house was under suspension, and my land and bank accounts, too. At the present, I am under direct threat that my house will be fully confiscated I will become homeless.
