Adverse Reaction Report: Recent Episodes
Adverse Reaction Report
Official reports published by the Governments of the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK & most of Europe, confirm 1.8 million excess deaths have been recorded since the mass roll-out of the Covid-19 injections. Further evidence published by the UK Government confirms the most likely cause of these excess deaths is Covid-19 vaccination because mortality rates are lowest among the unvaccinated in every single age
.
Some countries have been quite transparent in publishing data on deaths, such as the UK and Europe for example. However, they have refused to actively publicize the figures because of what they reveal.
But other countries, such as the USA, have done their utmost to conceal data on deaths as much as possible.
However, we have finally managed to find the data for 15% of the world’s countries hidden deep within the website of an organization known as the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD).
The OECD is an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade. And for some reason, they host a wealth of data on excess deaths. You can find that data for yourself here.
The organization hosts various datasets for countries such as the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the UK and some of Europe. So we extracted that data to see if deaths have gone down now that a “life-saving” vaccine that is alleged both “safe and effective” has been injected into hundreds of millions of arms worldwide.
However, there is another organization that provides compiled data for 28 countries across Europe including the UK, known as EuroMOMO, which is a European Mortality Project. So we disregarded the European data found in the OECD dataset and instead extracted the data from the EuroMOMO dataset because it includes more countries and is more up-to-date.
The figures have been provided to both the OECD and EuroMOMO by each country’s Government organizations. The U.S. data has been provided by the Centers for Disease Control. The UK data has been provided by the Office for National Statistics. And Australia’s data has been provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
So these aren’t independent estimates. They are official Government authorized figures.
The following chart reveals what we found in terms of excess deaths across the ‘Five Eyes’; which is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and a further 27 countries across Europe.
The above chart shows the overall number of excess deaths in each country/continent in 2021 and 2022 so far compared to the 2015-2019 five-year average, and it reveals the U.S. has suffered the most excess deaths in both years with nearly 700k excess deaths in 2021, and just over 360k excess deaths by week 40 of 2022. That is a lot of excess deaths.
Next up we have Europe which suffered 382k excess deaths in 2021 across 28 countries, and 309k excess deaths by week 46 of 2022. Please note the figures for Europe do not include Ukraine so the deaths can not be attributed to the ongoing war.
For reference, the figures for New Zealand cover up to week 40 in 2022, while the figures for Australia cover up to week 30 and the figures for Canada only cover up to week 28. So these aren’t revealing the entire state of affairs so far in 2022.
You may be thinking that this is just a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic and that although deaths may be high, they have fallen from the numbers recorded prior to the roll-out of the Covid-19 injections.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the case.
The following chart reveals the overall excess deaths in Australia in 2020, 2021 and up to week 30 of 2022 –

The official figures reveal that Australia actually only recorded 1,303 excess deaths in 2020 whilst the world was allegedly in the midst of a “deadly” pandemic.
Unfortunately,
One of the most common questions I am asked from the unvaccinated stems from concerns over “shedding.” Because the mRNA vaccines have been in development by the US Department of Defense DARPA since 2011, one would have expected that all of the necessary preclinical testing would have been completed before Operation Warp Speed was announced.
The 2015 FDA guidance on Gene Product Shedding Studies with gene therapies, which are defined as “all products that exert their effects by transcription and/or translation of transferred genetic material and/or by integration into the host genome and that are administered in the form of nucleic acids, viruses or genetically modified microorganisms”.[i]
By this statement mRNA vaccines are indeed gene therapy products and should have been submitted to these excretion studies by DARPA funded researchers long ago.[ii] Sadly, these careful development steps were skipped from the beginning in our military-style vaccine development program, and now the public is grappling with the issue of nucleic acid and Spike protein shedding as a potential concern among those who have worked so hard to remain healthy and free of Covid-19 vaccination.
In the most comprehensive paper on shedding thus far, former Inserm researcher Dr. Helene Banoun has published the basis for which there is great likelihood that mRNA either on lipid nanoparticles or within exosomes is circulatory in blood and is secreted in every body secretion that would naturally expect to contain particles of this size.[iii]
Fertig et al, have shown mRNA is circulatory in blood for at least two weeks with no reduction in concentration out to that time point.[iv] Likewise, Hanna et al, have found mRNA within breast milk.[v] Less data exist on Spike protein shedding but it is not a far stretch to understand this is well within the realm of reality.
The pivotal questions are:
for how long is a recently vaccinated person at risk to shed on to others? can shed mRNA be taken up by the recipient and begin to produce Spike protein just like vaccination? can shed Spike protein cause disease as it does in the vaccinated (e.g. myocarditis, blood clots, etc.)?
It’s time for the lapses by DOD BARDA and NIH BARDA, to immediately be corrected by those agencies funding the necessary independent shedding studies to ensure the public safety of those who wisely deferred on Covid-19 vaccination. This research should preferably be conducted while the current products are paused and taken off to market to protect others at risk. Until then, we simply cannot answer these questions for those who sacrificed so much to remain “pure-blood.”

On November 14, Florida obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. James Thorp said that mothers who were vaccinated against the CCP virus, known as Covid-19 for the international community, experienced a catastrophic decline in birth rates. These included miscarriages, severe pre-eclampsia, fetal malformations, intrauterine fetal deaths, increased fetal cardiac arrest, fetal heart malformations, and placental thrombosis.
Dr. Thorp said he had witnessed too many cases of fetal death and miscarriage in the womb since the rollout of the CCP virus vaccine. His attempts to quantify these adverse effects were hampered by the medical authority gag order enforced on doctors and nurses in September 2021.
Yet the order couldn’t stop the disaster; there was an avalanche of data from around the world. He said they are talking about the catastrophic consequences of birth rates declining, concerning an increase in miscarriages among women in all countries and a significant increase in pre-mature births and abnormal outcomes.
Dr. Thorp raised concerns about the immune system of these babies, as they are cursed with Vaccine-Induced Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, VAIDS in short. He hopes that it will not be permanent. These newborn babies are not yet “armed” and do not have a regular immune system, they are not fully or properly developed. The newborns will die from autoimmune diseases, blood clots, increased risk of heart arrhythmias, cancer, and opportunistic infections. Continue reading on www.himalayaustralia.com.au
An Australian teacher terminated from her work after refusing to take a Covid-19 vaccine has won workers’ compensation on the basis that she suffered psychological injury due to her employer’s implementation of the government mandate. The case is among only a handful of appeals about unfair dismissal caused by the Covid-19 vaccine mandate in Australia to be recognised by the court. The majority have been dismissed. It was also one of the few cases where “psychological injury” was at the centre of the applicant’s arguments against the mandate. Most other appeals cited concerns regarding the lawfulness of the vaccination mandate or the efficiency of the vaccine itself. Courts found in most of these appeals, however, that the complainants failed to prove that their employer’s disciplinary action was unreasonable. The Case According to a court document issued on Nov. 3 obtained by The Epoch Times, the Personal Injury Commission, which handled the case, ruled that former Canada Bay special education teacher Diane Dawking “sustained psychological injury” that arose “out of or in the course of her employment” with the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Education. It also said that “employment was the main contributing factor to such injury.”
On Sept. 24, 2021, Dawking received a letter from her workplace, the Department of Education, that she must be double vaccinated by Nov. 8, 2021, otherwise be considered guilty of misconduct and liable for possible termination. Dawking claimed that as a result of the mandate and her decision not to be fully vaccinated, she “started to suffer a number of symptoms, including helplessness and hopelessness, loss of interest in daily activities, loss of weight, sleep changes, anger and irritability, and other symptoms,” according to court document. She consulted from a psychologist who diagnosed her as suffering from “acute stress reactions disorder,” which worsened over time as successive emails were received from her employer.
The psychologist noted that Dawking was fearful of taking the vaccine as she believed it would compromise her underlying medical condition, which included anaemia.
Additionally, Dawking submitted that, after being sacked on Nov. 8, she was unable to provide for her family and care for her sick husband.
She was certified as having no current work capacity from Sept. 9, 2021. Her doctor said that employment was the main contributing factor to Dawking’s injury due to the “constant coercion and discrimination to receive vaccine as a mandatory requirement, refusing Mrs Dawking’s medical exemption, and possible threat to their employment with no support provided.” The Education Department argued that Dawking’s distress was a result of the actions taken by the government, which introduced the Public Health Order—not the employer. It also said that the email alerting teacher of the vaccine mandate was “respectful” and “as comprehensive as was possible.”
Further, the department said although Dawking had been working remotely for a time, by the time of these events, school was back. Hence, the decision to terminate Dawking’s employment was “reasonable because of her unwillingness to physically attend at school” and failure to attest that she was vaccinated.
However, when asked why teachers who weren’t doubled vaxxed couldn’t continue working remotely, the department’s representative said it was not a decision that was within his authority, and referred back to the Public Health Order.
He couldn’t answer when asked why employees working in other areas, such as curriculum development were also required to be double vaccinated even though they were working from home. He also said he was not aware if any opportunity was given to the couple of hundred unvaccinated teachers to work in the area of policy development.
“The applicant correctly submits that, rather than there being a problem with the Public Health Order issued by the government,
The messenger RNA (mRNA) from Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine is able to enter human liver cells and is converted into DNA, according to Swedish researchers at Lund University. The researchers found that when the mRNA vaccine enters the human liver cells, it triggers the cell’s DNA, which is inside the nucleus, to increase the production of the LINE-1 gene expression to make mRNA.
The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cell’s cytoplasm, where it translates into LINE-1 protein. A segment of the protein called the open reading frame-1, or ORF-1, then goes back into the nucleus, where it attaches to the vaccine’s mRNA and reverse transcribes into spike DNA.
Reverse transcription is when DNA is made from RNA, whereas the normal transcription process involves a portion of the DNA serving as a template to make an mRNA molecule inside the nucleus. “In this study we present evidence that Covid-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 is able to enter the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro,” the researchers wrote in the study, published in Current Issues of Molecular Biology. “BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA as fast as 6 [hours] after BNT162b2 exposure.” BNT162b2 is another name for the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine that is marketed under the brand name Comirnaty.
The whole process occurred rapidly within six hours. The vaccine’s mRNA converting into DNA and being found inside the cell’s nucleus is something that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said would not happen.
“The genetic material delivered by mRNA vaccines never enters the nucleus of your cells,” the CDC said on its web page titled “Myths and Facts about Covid-19 Vaccines.”
This is the first time that researchers have shown in vitro or inside a petri dish how an mRNA vaccine is converted into DNA on a human liver cell line, and is what health experts and fact-checkers said for over a year couldn’t occur.
The CDC says that the “Covid-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way,” claiming that all of the ingredients in both mRNA and viral vector Covid-19 vaccines (administered in the United States) are discarded from the body once antibodies are produced. These vaccines deliver genetic material that instructs cells to begin making spike proteins found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 that causes Covid-19 to produce an immune response.
Pfizer didn’t comment on the findings of the Swedish study and said only that its mRNA vaccine does not alter the human genome.
“Our Covid-19 vaccine does not alter the DNA sequence of a human cell,” a Pfizer spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email. “It only presents the body with the instructions to build immunity.”
More than 215 million or 64.9 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated as of Feb. 28, with 94 million having received a booster dose.

(Courtesy of NIAID/RML) Autoimmune Disorders The Swedish study also found spike proteins expressed on the surface of the liver cells that researchers say may be targeted by the immune system and possibly cause autoimmune hepatitis, as “there [have] been case reports on individuals who developed autoimmune hepatitis after BNT162b2 vaccination.”
The authors of the first reported case of a healthy 35-year-old female who developed autoimmune hepatitis a week after her first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine said that there is a possibility that “spike-directed antibodies induced by vaccination may also trigger autoimmune conditions in predisposed individuals” as it has been shown that “severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection are characterized by an autoinflammatory dysregulation that contributes to tissue damage,” which the virus’s spike protein appears to be responsible for.

Covid-19 vaccines and drugs were developed at “warp speed” and now experts are concerned that the US Food and Drug Administration inspected too few clinical trial sites. Maryanne Demasi reports: On 25 September 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received a complaint by Brook Jackson who had been working for Ventavia Research Group, a Texas based company hired to run clinical trials for Pfizer’s covid-19 mRNA vaccine. Jackson, a regional director, had witnessed problems at three trial sites she was overseeing and complained to an FDA inspector about a range of problems including falsified data, unblinded patients, and inadequately trained vaccinators who were slow to follow up on adverse events. “I thought that the FDA was going to swoop in and take care of everything. What I was reporting was so important,” Jackson told The BMJ. The FDA did not, however, inspect the trial sites in question.
This lack of oversight was not an isolated case, The BMJ has learnt. Regulatory documents show that only nine out of 153 Pfizer trial sites1 were subject to FDA inspection before licensing the mRNA vaccine. Similarly, only 10 out of 99 Moderna trial sites2 and five of 73 remdesivir trial sites3 were inspected. Now, facing a backlog of site inspections, experts have criticised the FDA’s oversight of clinical trials, describing it as “grossly inadequate.” They say the problem, which predated covid-19, is not limited to a lack of inspections but also includes failing to notify the public or scientific journals when violations are identified—effectively keeping scientific misconduct from the medical establishment. The FDA is “endangering public health” by not being candid about violations that are uncovered during clinical trial site inspections, says David Gortler, a pharmacist and pharmacologist who worked as an FDA medical reviewer between 2007 and 2011 and was then appointed as a senior adviser to the FDA commissioner in 2019-21.
“The lack of full transparency and data sharing does not allow physicians and other medical scientists to confirm the data independently and make comprehensive risk-benefit assessments,” continues Gortler, who is now a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center thinktank in Washington DC. Paused during the pandemic Between March and July 2020, at the peak of pandemic restrictions, the FDA paused its site inspections and only “mission critical” inspections were carried out. Gortler says, however, that this was the time that the FDA should have ramped up its oversight, not scaled back, especially since covid-19 products were being developed at warp speed and intended for millions of people. “The drug companies took appropriate measures to keep staff safe, which is exactly what the FDA could and should have done,” said Gortler. A former staffer in the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations was also concerned about the agency’s failure to fully tackle Jackson’s complaint about falsified data in Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine trial. In an email dated March 2021, they wrote, “Having worked at the FDA, I see it as surprising, for many reasons, that the agency turned a blind eye . . . They likely feared the criticism they undoubtedly would have received for holding up a vaccine (which they knew they would eventually approve anyway) at the expense of untold lives lost.” The former FDA employee, who signed a non-disclosure agreement and did not respond to interview requests, went on to write, “My point here is that instead of the regulators protecting the public, they were complicit. At the time, they may have been doing what they believed to be the right thing under extraordinary circumstances. But now, they may soon have some explaining to do.”
The FDA told The BMJ it takes oversight of clinical trials seriously and had adapted to travel restrictions, publishing draft guidance4 for remote regulatory assessments. This guidance describes virtual inspections using live streaming and video conferen...
More vaccine related legislation has been filed in state legislatures across the country in 2022 than in any other year. The Covid-19 pandemic has proven to be an historic opportunity to inspire active citizen involvement in the law making process and educate state legislators about the urgent need to protect the human and legal right to exercise voluntary, informed consent to vaccination.
After more than a decade of grassroots organizing and focused public education efforts in the states, this year NVIC’s 2022 Annual Report on U.S. State Vaccine Legislation provides evidence the tide is finally turning in our 40-year mission to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths through public education and secure vaccine informed consent protections in U.S. public health policies and laws. 2022 Session Has Most Vaccine Related Bills The non-profit educational charity National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) reports that during the 2022 legislative session, NVIC analyzed, tracked and issued positions on an unprecedented 875 vaccine related bills in 44 states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) through the NVIC Advocacy Portal. This was the highest number of bills monitored in the history of NVIC’s state-based legislative advocacy program, which was established in 2010, and it is close to four times the number of vaccine-related bills proposed in a single year in state legislatures.
Since its establishment in 1982, NVIC has provided well-referenced, accurate information to the public about vaccine science, policy, and law and defended the ethical principle of informed consent to medical risk taking. NVIC does not make vaccine use recommendations. NVIC is opposed to mandatory vaccination and also has worked with families and state legislators to retain or secure flexible medical, religious and conscientious belief exemptions in existing U.S. public health policies and laws.
In 2010, NVIC launched the NVIC Advocacy Portal (NVICAP), a free online vaccine choice advocacy network, for the purpose of securing and defending informed consent protections in U.S. vaccine policies and laws. Over the last 13 years, the NVIC Advocacy Program has analyzed, tracked, and issued positions on 2,471 vaccine-related bills.
NVICAP staff work collaboratively and share legislative information with U.S. health freedom groups and individuals supporting NVIC’s four-decade call for the protection of vaccine informed consent rights in America. The NVIC Advocacy Portal team, which includes volunteer NVIC Advocacy state directors and mission aligned groups, work with families and enlightened health care professionals to educate legislators and protect vaccine informed consent rights by advocating for voluntary vaccination and working to retain or secure flexible medical, religious and conscientious belief vaccine exemptions in existing public health laws. NVIC issues action alerts and distributes them through email, online posts, social media, and our text alert program. The NVIC Advocacy Team provides referenced, accurate vaccine information and talking points for NVICAP users to educate legislators.
When this report was written in early November 2022, some states still had active vaccine-related bills filed for 2022, or their respective legislative sessions were in recess but still could be reactivated to work on bills. Other states have bills that will carry over until next session. For these reasons, it is especially important for registered users of the Portal to check it regularly because last minute legislative activity requiring your action is still possible.
Information about bills referenced in this report are published on the NVIC Advocacy Portal. Registered users can obtain a more detailed bill analysis, including current status, as well as NVIC’s position on each bill, along with any recommended action. Bills that display as a default are the bills that are current for this year. However,
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is again calling for the protection of U.S. service members from being fired for refusing to get the Covid-19 vaccine. "Communist China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia are threatening the safety and security of the United States and our freedom-loving partners across the globe," she said in a statement.
"Meanwhile, the Biden administration is focused on firing service members who make the personal decision not to get vaccinated. As a result, every branch of the U.S. military struggled to meet recruiting goals this fiscal year, including the U.S. Army, which fell 15,000 service members short of its benchmark.
"These numbers reflect a tremendous disservice to our country and to the men and women willing to fight for it. While the threat and power of the New Axis of Evil expands, the United States needs every single brave American who volunteers to protect our nation."
According to Blackburn's office, 5,700 members of the military have already been for not getting the vaccine and 60,000 are still at risk of being dismissed.
Blackburn introduced legislation in July that would have banned federal funds to any government entity or program requiring members of the National Guard to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
In September, Blackburn also introduced legislation aimed at bolstering the military's readiness by limiting Covid-19 related separations until recruiting benchmarks are met and ensure continued pay and benefits for servicemembers while religious and health accommodations are pending.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to “stop” taking Ivermectin for Covid-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing. “The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat Covid-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas.
“They use informal language, that is true,” he also said, adding that, “it’s conversational but not mandatory.”
The hearing was held in a case brought by three doctors who say the FDA illegally interfered with their ability to prescribe medicine to their patients when it issued statements on ivermectin, an anti-parasitic that has shown positive results in some trials against Covid-19.
Ivermectin is approved by the FDA but not for Covid-19. Drugs are commonly used for non-approved purposes in the United States; the practice is known as off-label treatment.
The FDA created a webpage in 2021 titled “Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent Covid-19” and later posted a link to the page on Twitter while writing: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” A second post stated: “Hold your horses, y’all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat Covid-19.” In a separate page, the FDA said: “Q: Should I take ivermectin to prevent or treat Covid-19? A: No.”
Those actions interfered with the doctors’ practice of medicine, violating the laws including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the lawsuit alleges.
It asked the court to rule the actions unlawful and bar the FDA from directing or opining as to whether ivermectin should be used to treat Covid-19.
Jared Kelson, an attorney representing the plaintiffs, told the court during the hearing that that informal claim “doesn’t explain the language they actually used: ‘Stop it. Stop it with the ivermectin.'”
The FDA’s actions “clearly convey that this is not an acceptable way to treat these patients,” he argued. Plaintiffs in the case include Dr. Paul Marik, who began utilizing ivermectin in his Covid-19 treatment protocol in 2020 while he was chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School and director of the intensive care unit at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.
After the FDA’s statements, Marik was told to remove the protocol from the school’s servers while Sentara issued a memorandum to hospitals telling them to stop using ivermectin against Covid-19, with a citation to the FDA.
Marik was forced to resign from his positions because he couldn’t prescribe ivermectin due to the FDA’s statements, the suit alleges.
The government has moved to dismiss the complaint, asserting plaintiffs lack standing because the injuries cannot be traced back to the FDA. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
The White House is offering discounts on groceries to Americans who get the new bivalent Covid booster in a desperate bid to boost uptake of the vaccine. People who get the Omicron-specific shot at CVS, Safeway, Winn-Dixie, or Rite Aid will get up to $20 off their purchases this winter.
It comes amid a soaring inflation crisis that has driven up the price of household staples. A recent American Farm Bureau report found Thanksgiving dinner this year will cost a whopping 20 per cent more than last year.
The new booster incentive comes ahead of a potential spike in Covid cases and hospitalizations this winter which could put pressure on already-overstretched hospitals.
Health workers are already grappling with the worst flu outbreak in 10 years and admissions caused by the common cold virus RSV — with both surges blamed on lockdowns suppressing people's immunity to seasonal bugs.
The Covid bivalent rollout has been sluggish so far with just over 11 per cent of eligible Americans five and over having rolled up their sleeves for the shot.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending aged five years and upwards gets the bivalent booster.
This contrasts with Denmark and Norway which are no longer offering jabs to non-seniors, while Sweden has said only those over 18 years old should get the shots. White House discounts for Covid booster recipients Albertson's pharmacies: 10 per cent off groceries (up to $20 off) for people who get their Covid-19 shot in-store.
CVS: $5 off any purchase of $20 either in-store or online.
Rite Aid: $5 off their $25 purchase for those who receive a Covid-19 booster.
Southeastern Grocers: $20 in free groceries when a customer gets their updated Covid-19 vaccine and flu shot.
The groceries discounts were revealed in a White House announcement on October 25.
The Administration has partnered with Albertson's - which owns over 2,000 stores across America including Safeway - as well as Acme and Kings Food Markets.
People who go into an Albertson's-owned pharmacy can get 10 per cent off groceries - up to $20 off - if they get their Covid vaccine in-store.
Those who go to CVS for their bivalent shot can receive $5 off any purchase of $20 or more, while Rite Aid will give the same discount for purchases of $25 or more.
Southeastern Grocers, owner of Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, are offering shoppers $20 in free groceries when they get their updated Covid shot as well as a flu shot.
President Biden urged Americans to take advantage of the deals ahead of holiday festivities: 'Get the shot. Get 5, 10, 20 dollars off at your drugstore or grocery purchase at the time you get the shot.
'Some are making it easy for you just to walk in and get your vaccine right away, including on nights and weekends.'
The new White House incentive program comes on the heels of the administration's announcement that it would stop paying for Covid vaccines this fall. Federal funding for Covid treatment and vaccine puchases is dwindling and Congress has proven unwilling to allocate more.
The administration announced in August that it would begin transitioning out of the acute emergency phase, a move that will shift more control over pricing and coverage to the healthcare industry and big pharma. Continue reading on www.dailymail.co.uk
An Israeli study found that antibody levels after a fourth dose of the Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine returned to similar levels as after the 3rd dose after about four months. The study, conducted among health care workers at the Sheba Medical Center, the largest hospital in Israel, found that the immunological protection of the 4th dose “was much smaller and had waned completely by 13 weeks after vaccination.” It found “no substantial additional effectiveness over a third dose at 15 to 26 weeks after vaccination.” The authors concluded that these findings suggest the 4th dose and possible future boosters “should be timed wisely to coincide with disease waves or to be available seasonally, similar to the influenza vaccine.”
The six-month follow-up study was published in The New England Journal of Medicine on Nov. 9.
The study led by Dr. Michal Canetti and Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay, the head of the Infection Prevention and Control unit at Sheba, followed employees who did not fall ill before the study, beginning Dec. 27, 2021, to July 10, 2022, when the Omicron virus variant was dominant in Israel.
The researchers tested the immune response of 6,113 employees and performed a monthly follow-up of the antibody levels in their blood. In addition, they performed a vaccine effectiveness analysis of 11,176 employees after the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th doses.
The weekly levels of antibodies throughout the period after the receipt of the 3rd and 4th doses were found to be similar and the study said were higher than after receiving the 2nd dose.
Effectiveness of the fourth dose against infection started at just 52 percent during the first five weeks after administration and dropped to negative 2 percent at 15 to 26 weeks. A growing number of studies have detected negative effectiveness, which means the vaccinated are more likely to get infected.
Pfizer did not respond to a request for comment. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
Authorities in Oregon say they’re looking into a report they published that falsely claims sky-high Covid-19 hospitalization rates among children. “We are working with the company that completed the report, Rede Group, to look into that data question,” Jonathan Modie, a spokesman for the Oregon Health Authority, told The Epoch Times in an email on Nov. 19.
Modie said authorities would be able to provide an update as early as Monday.
The report in question was produced by a firm called the Rede Group as a contractor to the health authority, as outlined in a Senate bill that was passed this year.
The bill says that the authority “shall study the state’s public health response to the Covid-19 pandemic” and prepare various reports, including one that includes “a broad review of the Covid-19 pandemic” and identification of areas in the public health response to the pandemic that need improvement.
The 725-page report includes multiple instances of misinformation, including the false claim that Covid-19 hospitalization rates among children were as high as 47.4 percent.
In a graph, the report depicts the hospitalization rates as above 30 percent for all childhood age groups, with the highest being 47.4 percent among children aged 12 to 17 as of June.
According to Oregon Health Authority (PDF), the hospitalization rate in 2021 among children aged 0 to 9 was just 0.9 percent and the hospitalization rate among those aged 10 to 19 was 0.6 percent. A report issued in July (PDF) looking at the first six months of 2021 had the percentages at 0.6 and 0.3, respectively. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
Pfizer had confessed to the FDA in 2020 their awareness of spike protein shedding. Back in February 2022, I reported secondary vaccine shedding among patients in my naturopathic medical practice, as experienced by them throughout 2021. Pfizer had acknowledged to the FDA here that spike protein shedding from Covid-vaccinated people could occur by exhalation and skin contact. I wrote about that here.
Of the people who were already my patients for other reasons (none came to me initially regarding shedding), 26 individuals noted symptoms during, and often after, contact with Covid vaccinated people (then later a few more). None of the 26 were themselves Covid-vaccinated. This distribution of first reported 2ary symptoms showed a distinct temporal pattern.
That temporal pattern correlates with vaccine uptake in the US in 2021.
Our World in Data
USAFacts
This USAFacts interactive graph alleges that 30% of the US population had received one Covid vaccine by April 1, 2021, and that 54% of the US population had received one Covid vaccine by June 30, 2021. I say “alleges,” because there were pharmacists and healthcare workers in vehement opposition to this experimental injection, as well as threatened employees and college students who knew better than to take this injection, but did not want to be fired or expelled either, and I have no idea what kind of arrangements may have happened among individuals in these groups. Suffice it to say that I suspect that the percentage of Covid-vaccinated people in the United States is overestimated.
(As for me, my long-time subscribers likely know that I provided the first comprehensive warnings about multiple aspects of Covid vaccine hazards here, and my book Neither Safe Nor Effective cites over 300 studies from the peer-reviewed medical literature on the problems with the Covid vaccines. It’s been on the Forensic Medicine bestseller list on Amazon since it came out in May.)
After the summer of 2021, I heard fewer and fewer secondary vaccine reactions from the patients in my practice. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
Just prior to the start of the fall 2022 semester, Granada Hills Charter (GHC), located in Granada Hills, CA, announced that they were “pleased” with a July 2022 ruling in their favor by the Los Angeles Superior Court, finding that as an independent charter school, GHC was not barred from enforcing its own mandate for Covid-19 vaccination, despite the existence of such a mandate anywhere else in California. GHC’s Student Covid-19 policy, (approved by its Governing Board in October 2021 to take effect in the Spring 2022 semester) states that “eligible students who have not submitted proof of being fully vaccinated against Covid-19, or received a qualified and approved exemption or conditional admission will not be permitted on campus or in any GHC facilities.” The policy cites information from public health organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Los Angeles County Public Health, and the Academy of Pediatrics, but uses data limited to the fall of 2021 when the highly-virulent Delta was the dominant variant.
However, this fall, the U.S. has virtually zero cases of Delta in circulation, as depicted in this graph from the Infectious Disease Society of America.
TrialSite News reached out to GHC requesting confirmation of whether their policy was still based upon outdated sources, but received no response.
With an entire year of new clinical research outcomes, the release of Pfizer’s trial data, and more warning signals emerging from real-world data, is this a scientifically sound move for the school? After all, the CDC recently conceded that vaccinated and unvaccinated people should be treated equally in terms of Covid-19 countermeasures.
Furthermore, teens are dying as a result of vaccination via cardiac events like myocarditis, and some of the most vaccinated nations are currently experiencing high surges in cases world-wide.
Jennifer Kennedy is a spokesperson for the families who are contesting this medical discrimination. The parents and children are part of a group called GHC Parents United. Kennedy spoke with TrialSite about the details surrounding the GHC mandate and its negative impact on those involved.
Lack of Congruency Kennedy explains that the Covid-19 vaccine mandate for students age 12 and older was enacted in October 2021–just weeks after the students had finally returned to in-person school in August. The mandate required students to become “fully vaccinated” in mid-December 2021 or be barred from campus starting in the spring semester. In January 2022, GHC began stripping unvaccinated students of all rights to in-campus learning, extracurricular activities, sports, dances, academic competitions and more.
Unfortunately, graduating seniors were given no exceptions. Graduation, awards ceremonies and special senior events, such as Grad Night at Disneyland, were also off-limits for unvaccinated students. Each circumstance of exclusion came with its own contradictory logic, which Kennedy expanded upon during our discussion: Transmission Granada Hills claims to be the largest charter school in the nation, with two campuses and 5,600 students. As of 9/26/22, GHC’s Covid-19 dashboard lists 8 positive cases between the two campuses after 5,780 tests, a positivity rate of .14%.
Kennedy said that since the school was demanding weekly testing, its own Covid-19 dashboard on the GHC website showed the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infections spreading among vaccinated students and teachers, even after unvaccinated students were removed and unvaccinated teachers were fired.
“And you saw the softball team or the baseball team or whoever, all the vaccinated kids were still getting Covid and they were going home, and recovering, and coming back to school, while their teammates who'd been kicked off the team and prevented from extracurriculars, they weren't allowed to do the same thing.” Sub-Par Substitutions for Virtual Instruction
As of June 2022, Australian authorities received around 1,300 complaints against medical workers who may have contravened or criticized public health advice around Covid-19. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), which manages accreditation for health professionals across the country, said it received around 10,000 notifications across the 2021-22 financial year period.
Of those, around 1,300 were matters related to Covid-19, according to a statement to The Epoch Times. From that group, AHPRA imposed restrictions on the registrations of 28 health practitioners by “immediate action” due to conduct that was deemed to pose a “serious risk to the public or was otherwise in the public interest.”
“Of the 28 practitioners, 21 practitioners were suspended. Of the 21 practitioners suspended in 2021-22, 12 were medical practitioners.” AHPRA works with 15 other bodies responsible for major professions such as nurses, paramedics, and doctors.
The group has imposed tight restrictions on what medical professionals can and cannot say about Covid-19 matters including the efficacy of vaccines, mask mandates, and lockdowns.
According to a March 9, 2021 position statement (pdf), health workers must not promote “anti-vaccination statements or health advice” that contradict the “best available scientific evidence.”
The statement has been criticized by human rights lawyer Peter Fam.
“The best available scientific evidence doesn’t exist. It’s always changing. That’s the nature of science and the nature of evidence,” he told The Epoch Times in an earlier interview.
Yet as a result, several health professionals have been suspended for a range of actions deemed to contravene this rule.
One example includes the suspension of anesthetist Dr. Paul Oosterhuis in September 2021 after two “anonymous complaints” were lodged regarding his social media activity. Oosterhuis, a medical practitioner of 30 years, revealed in an online petition that he had posted content regarding early treatments against Covid-19 while questioning the efficacy of lockdowns and PCR tests.
While in the same month, veteran paramedic John Larter was also suspended after filing a lawsuit against the New South Wales Health Department over vaccine mandates. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
What that entails, explained Dr. Peter McCullough, is prospective cohort studies, meaning you measure everything (troponin levels, EKG, echocardiogram, ultrasound, etc.) at baseline, give the vaccine, and compare the results from before and afterwards. But surprise, surprise, they never did those studies.
However, Mansanguan & Colleagues from Thailand did — and the data is alarming.
Their study had a total of 301 children aged 13 to 18. They screened each person’s cardiovascular baseline via troponin levels, EKGs, echocardiograms, ultrasounds of the heart, etc. — gave two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, and repeated everything afterwards.
They came up with a suspected myopericarditis rate of 2.33%.
“Seven participants (2.33%) exhibited at least one elevated cardiac biomarker or positive lab assessments.” Equally as worrying, “Cardiovascular manifestations were found in 29.24% of patients, ranging from tachycardia or palpitation to myopericarditis.” “Myopericarditis was confirmed in one patient after vaccination. Two patients had suspected pericarditis and four patients had suspected subclinical myocarditis.”
“This is [23,300] cases per million!” exclaimed Dr. McCullough.
Previously, the FDA had estimated six new cases per million. There were data from Tracy Beth Høeg, UC Davis said [253 cases] per million, and then Kaiser Permanente had an estimate of 537 per million.
This blows that out of the water! This is [23,300] cases per million, according to Mansanguan. And of those seven kids that had myocarditis that was serious, two kids [were] hospitalized.
Safe and effective? Benefits outweigh the risks?
This is third-grade-level math that our regulatory agencies can’t seem to calculate. Which number poses the greater threat to your child: 2.33% (23,300 per million) or 0.0027% (27 per million)? And that doesn’t even include the vast array of other potentially serious side effects. The risk/benefit analysis between these two prospects is completely upside down, with an 863-FOLD GREATER RISK for a teenager to develop myopericarditis! Continue reading on www.redvoicemedia.com
Pfizer reaped nearly $100 billion from selling Covid-19 vaccines and treatments to U.S. taxpayers and foreign governments — now it plans to get richer, sinking the cash into developing and marketing lucrative drugs for everything from obesity to migraines. For drugmaker Pfizer, a fortune amassed in the Covid-19 pandemic is now paving the path to pharma nirvana: a weight loss pill worth billions.
The company has reaped nearly $100 billion from selling Covid-19 vaccines and treatments to U.S. taxpayers and foreign governments. With that windfall, it plans to get richer, sinking the cash into developing and marketing potential blockbusters for conditions like migraines, ulcerative colitis, prostate cancer, sickle cell disease and obesity.
It just announced it will triple or even quadruple the price of its Covid-19 vaccine once it goes on the commercial market next year. Meanwhile, the company is inundating doctors and pharmacists - and consumers - with advertising touting its Covid-19 drug Paxlovid. “Pfizer is a remarkable marketing machine. They have an incredible ability to make the most of molecules and get them adopted,” said Timothy Calkins, a professor of marketing at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. The federal government is helping Pfizer with its marketing, urging people to get boosters targeting the Omicron variants, although early data has been mixed on whether the shots work better than the earlier version.
But even with a 66% drop in Covid-19 vaccine sales in the past quarter, the company made about $4.4 billion in those three months. Pfizer has a deep stream of cash to finance its future. Covid-19 has been very good for business.
The company appears most excited — judging from its messages to investors — about two experimental diabetes pills, “me too” drugs in the class known as GLP-1 agonists. As Pfizer competitors have already discovered, they double as weight-loss drugs.
In one trial, more than half of obese patients on a high-dose Eli Lilly and Co. injectable lost a fifth of their body weight — results that have raised the drugs’ cachet as a diet aid in Hollywood, Silicon Valley and other social niches where cost is no issue and being thin is always in.
Wall Street analysts are predicting such massive demand for these drugs that Pfizer “can find a place there with marketing” if its version works, though it is at least two years from licensure, said Mohit Bansal, a Wells Fargo analyst.
By 2035, the Lilly drug alone could earn $100 billion a year for its formulation, according to one Bank of America analysis.
Pfizer still sees Covid-19 as a “multibillion-dollar franchise” long term, Chief Financial Officer David Denton told a Nov. 1 earnings call, since Covid-19 “is going to be somewhat like a flu, sustained flu, but actually more deadly than the flu.”
The company announced Oct. 20 that it would charge $110 to $130 a shot once government contracts run out next year, more than double what investors were expecting. The U.S. government paid $30.50 per shot in its latest contract with Pfizer, according to Zaid Rizvi, a researcher for the advocacy group Public Citizen.
Pfizer was a good citizen in keeping prices down during the worst of the pandemic, CEO Albert Bourla told investors. Now taxpayers will pick up the added cost, while consumers “wouldn’t see the difference” because there’s generally no copay for vaccines.
Still, unless new mutations are dangerous enough to scare enough people, Wall Street analysts expect sales to lag, as the public loses interest, Republican politicians discourage booster shots and concerns continue about rare heart damage in young people getting the shots.
Pfizer said in July it had taken “a $450 million write-off of inventory related to covid-19 products” that exceeded “approved shelf-lives.” And Moderna on Nov. 3 lowered sales predictions for its Covid-19 vaccine. “Not many people are going to go out and get their fourth...
I’m a practicing ER nurse of 25 years. The amount of blood clots, strokes, cardiac events like myocarditis/pericarditis, Bell’s Palsy, shingles, etc. that I’ve seen since the vaccine rollout is more than I’ve ever seen in the previous 23.5 years combined. I don’t know how anyone can’t be frightened by what we are seeing. When I try to discuss this with my coworkers, they turn their heads and look downcast, but will rarely speak. "I think it’s because like me, they feel betrayed for following the narrative, but unlike me they won’t open their eyes and speak out (they’re afraid for their careers and also are scared to death that their bodies are ticking time bombs). It’s easier to ignore than to acknowledge." –Susan Pace, Medscape The fact that there is a crisis in the U.S. medical system is not in dispute, as even the corporate media has been covering this since 2021, as many hospital Emergency Rooms across the U.S. have either closed down completely, or reduced their hours, due to lack of staffing.

Earlier this month (November 2022) a group of medical organizations that include the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association warned President Biden that hospital emergency departments were reaching a “breaking point” as they deal with influxes of patients seeking beds that are not available. “Our nation’s safety net is on the verge of breaking beyond repair; EDs are gridlocked and overwhelmed with patients waiting — waiting to be seen; waiting for admission to an inpatient bed in the hospital; waiting to be transferred to psychiatric, skilled nursing, or other specialized facilities; or, waiting simply to return to their nursing home,” the groups said in their letter to Biden. (Source.) A report from commercial intelligence company Definitive Healthcare earlier this month stated that 334,000 physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinicians left the workforce in 2021.
Physicians experienced the largest loss, with 117,000 professionals leaving the workforce in 2021, followed by nurse practitioners, with 53,295 departures, and physician assistants, with 22,704 departures. About 22,000 physical therapists also left the healthcare workforce and 15,500 licensed clinical social workers, according to a report from commercial intelligence company Definitive Healthcare.
Among physician specialties, the biggest declines were seen within internal medicine, family practice and emergency medicine fields. “Like clinicians and registered nurses, providers in these three specialties frequently worked on the frontlines during the pandemic, risking exposure and facing many of the same pressures and stressors as described earlier,” the report authors wrote.
In 2021, 15,000 internal medicine doctors left the workforce, followed by 13,015 providers who left family practice and 10,874 who left clinical psychology.

Becker Hospital Review reported today that cash reserves, an important indicator of financial stability, are dropping for hospitals and health systems across the U.S. (Source.) Fewer staff to treat patients equals less customers which leads to lost revenue.

Mathematician Igor Chudov conducted an assessment of two completely different datasets encompassing tens or even hundreds of millions of people from which he concluded that the relative risk of death for people who got “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is 40 percent higher than that of the unvaccinated. All around the world where shots were unleashed, Chudov says, excess mortality is through the roof. It is something that many of us have known about for a while now, but that was substantiated by a patchwork of data from here and there – not quite enough to convince some, in other words, that mass depopulation is, in fact, taking place.
Well, Chudov addressed this by conducting an extensive analysis of numerous datasets to scientifically prove that covid shots are killing lots and lots of people, despite being branded as the “cure” for Chinese Germs. (Related: The more covid jabs a person gets, the greater his or her chances are of dying.) “Many countries are experiencing excess mortality,” Chudov writes. “There are some indications that excess mortality is related to the Covid vaccination program … Various countries have very different RATES of Covid vaccination among their populations – and their mortality statistics are available.”
“In the UK, the population is split into deprivation quintiles with varying vaccination levels, with excess mortality also known … I analyzed excess mortality by country as well as excess mortality in the UK by quintile deprivation.” Operation Warp Speed led to MORE excess mortality, not less Chudov points to two different articles, one that show excess mortality by country and the other that shows it using the UK deprivation quintile. Amazingly enough, analyses of both of these completely different datasets produce the very same results.
If you are interested in the finer details, you can take a closer look at the mathematical methodology Chudov used at his Substack page.
One of the things Chudov uncovered is a “pull-forward effect” in the Y-intercept of his linear regression chart. In short, the pull-forward effect shows that if the so-called “vaccines” were truly effective at quelling the plandemic, then there would have been negative excess mortality after they were unleashed. The exact opposite actually occurred. “A sad outcome of the first two years of the Covid pandemic is that Covid killed persons with ‘comorbidities,’ very old people, and so on,” Chudov explains. “Had the pandemic not happened, the mortality would be the same yearly. However, Covid caused the unfortunate premature demise of people who were likely to die in the next few years.”
“So, if the pandemic stopped and vaccines were not affecting mortality, you would expect NEGATIVE excess mortality – simply because people who were likely to die in 2022 already died in 2020. The negative Y-intercept shows this pull-forward effect, discussed in detail by the Ethical Skeptic.” While admittedly “extremely speculative,” Chudov’s latest work serves as some real food for thought – especially since it is based on two completely different and unrelated datasets that led him to the exact same conclusions.
A 40 percent increase in mortality is anything but minor, Chudov warns, referring to government officials and corporate media outlets that continue to claim covid jab deaths are “rare.”
Keep in mind that, in this context, a 40 percent increase in mortality means that a “fully vaccinated” person will now live for significantly less time than he or she otherwise would have had covid jabs not been injected.
“For example, a 40-year-old was expected to live until about 80,” Chudov explains. “If mortality increases by 40%, the same 40-year-old would be expected to live only until 64. This is not a precise estimate – it is meant only to show that excess mortality is a serious issue.” Continue reading on www.naturalnews.com
Only a fraction of claims through the coronavirus vaccine injury scheme have been finalized, raising concerns the process may be inaccessible for some genuine claimants. Of the 3071 claims received by November 9 — 11 months since the scheme was established — only 263 had been determined as payable or not payable, while 1471 applications were waiting on additional information from applicants and 166 were subsequently withdrawn.

The Covid-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme, administered by Services Australia, covers losses or expenses of $1000 and above related to injury resulting in hospitalization or death from specified reactions to the Covid-19 vaccine.
Earlier this year, Government Services Minister Bill Shorten said the small number of approvals demonstrated the vaccines were overwhelmingly safe.
But, while the vast majority of Australia’s 64 million Covid-19 vaccinations were without incident – the Therapeutic Goods Administration has received reports of 9300 reactions associated with a hospital admission, and stressed this did not mean the vaccine caused the admission – some people who experienced a severe reaction have struggled to claim under the scheme.
Sandra Byron, 59, experienced severe symptoms later diagnosed as Guillain-Barre syndrome and capillary leak syndrome after her first AstraZeneca vaccine in May 2021 and is now housebound with chronic pain and unable to work.
Her husband and now full-time carer, Ashley Russell, emphasized the Sydney family was not against vaccination but believed the claim scheme was a poor fit for exhausted patients with piecemeal medical documentation.
Byron was taken by ambulance to Hornsby Hospital four weeks after her shot with body numbness and swelling. Correspondence from the hospital confirmed her “serious systemic adverse reaction to the AstraZeneca vaccine in the days to weeks after her first dose” had been logged with NSW Health.
Yet her scheme claim, completed by her GP 10 months ago, was returned because it required reports from a neurologist and a hematologist, neither of whom she had seen while in hospital.
After the specialists confirmed it was “likely that she suffered a mild attack of Guillain-Barre syndrome ... still has significant ongoing disabilities” and had “clinical features consistent with capillary leak syndrome”, her claim was rejected. “It’s really humiliating and degrading, having the claim be picked apart by unidentified people who’ve never seen me,” Byron said. The couple have since spent thousands of dollars seeing additional specialists, including other hematologists and neurologists, as well as a psychologist who assessed Byron as having “extremely severe” depression, to resubmit.
Sydney hematologist Associate Professor Nada Hamad said she had expected stories like Byron’s related to lesser-known vaccine side effects ever since the federal government first announced the compensation scheme.
“Diagnosis was very difficult to make at the time, and there was very little in terms of follow-up of these patients,” she said, adding it was hard to diagnose these reactions after the fact.
“If a patient comes to me, and I have access to the bloods and platelet counts done at the time, and detailed observations in medical records, I can come up with a report saying ‘it is very plausible that ...’, but you are cobbling the story together.”
An opinion written in September by the doctor who saw Byron in hospital the previous year, which this masthead has verified with the doctor, stressed “we ought to bear in mind ... at the time we were less aware [of] potential vaccine side effects”.
Associate Professor Vivien Chen, from the Thrombosis & Haemostasias society of Australia and New Zealand, said public awareness of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following ...
Australian health officials said they will not make any changes to their existing recommendations for Covid-19 boosters — meaning they won’t recommend a third booster (fifth dose) for any age group, despite rising case and hospitalization numbers. In a press conference today, Health Minister Mark Butler said the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (ATAGI) largely based its decision on evidence from a recent Covid-19 wave in Singapore, where severe disease and death were rare among people who received at least two vaccine doses.
Butler noted that cases in Australia have risen 47% in the last week, but remain 85% below the previous peak in July. He added that “any reduction in transmission by adding a fifth dose to the system would, in their [ATAGI’s] words, likely be minimal.”
ATAGI Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly supported the decision, stating the Singapore case suggested the current wave would peak quickly and then cases would drop off.
But according to Dr. Robert W. Malone, Australian health officials failed to mention the extensive data demonstrating that recovery of unvaccinated patients following Covid-19 infection “confers superior, long-lasting protection from disease and death,” making it likely that those with “natural immunity” will also continue to be protected. Australian health officials also didn’t address data showing that recipients of multiple mRNA Covid-19 booster vaccines account for the vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths associated with Covid-19 infections, Malone said. “A reasonable conclusion from all of this is that, despite widespread promotion of Covid fearporn by corporate media, the currently circulating Omicron variants are not a major public health threat based on recent data from Singapore’s experience with these variants, and the side effect risks of additional boosting overwhelmingly outweigh the disease risks of the currently circulating variants.”
Also today, ATAGI approved the Pfizer bivalent vaccine for use as an alternative to any existing mRNA Covid-19 vaccines for people ages 18 and up. Does the recommendation indicate a shifting strategy? Dr. Lucas de Toca, head of the federal Department of Health’s primary care response to Covid-19, said in a Senate estimates hearing last week that although ATAGI continues to review evidence and trends related to vaccine approval, the technical advisory group is focusing on increasing vaccine coverage among groups eligible for existing boosters.
ATAGI member Allen Cheng, Ph.D., also acknowledged that the risk of myocarditis and the lack of benefit from additional boosters meant that the recommended vaccine schedule for younger people is unlikely to change.
“Vaccinations are beneficial and protective even for younger people but the more doses you get the less benefit you derive from them and then we start to worry about causing side effects,” Cheng said.
In the hearing, Kelly recognized the existence of strong “hybrid immunity” from previous infection and vaccination. He emphasized that vulnerable people ought to seek out antivirals quickly if they test positive.
ATAGI members continued to recommend that vulnerable people be up-to-date on vaccinations.
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Australia imposed some of the most draconian restrictions on its population.

New evidence in the scientific community indicates that there is a strong correlation between Covid-19, its related vaccines, and the reactivation of other viruses which have previously infected the host. This article will dive deeper into the nuances. How Can Viruses Be Reactivated? In the number of years I spent in the military as a microbiologist, I’ve always been quite impressed with how shrewd viruses can get.
During viral infections, viruses have to deal with the defense of the immune systems. If the immune system has the upper hand and defeats the viruses, viruses might develop mechanisms to stay dormant and become inactivated.
One such mechanism is to insert their viral DNA into cells’ chromosomes, staying in latency without active replication. Other mechanisms might involve promoting epigenetic silencing of the viral genome, meaning they stay “muted” in activity, but present and lying in wait.
Host cells will then reproduce cells still carrying the viral genetic information. Then, viruses might come back years, or even decades later, reactivating the viral replication when the immune system degrades. This prudent strategy where viruses turn into a latent enemy within the host is quite an effective strategy against the enemy, whether in the military or the human body.
The scientific community is very familiar with five types of viruses that are able to “hibernate” and reactivate given suitable conditions:
Herpes simplex virus, which causes blisters in the mouth and genital herpes. It is extremely common; Varicella zoster virus (VZV), more commonly known as chickenpox; Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which causes mononucleosis or “mono,” the “kissing disease,” as it can be transmitted when people kiss each other; Cytomegalovirus (CMV), which usually causes a great deal of trouble for immunocompromised people but not really otherwise; Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS; this virus can stay in your body for more than a decade before becoming activated.
Let’s take VZV, or chickenpox, as an example. In the usual sense, everybody gets chickenpox in their life. This usually happens early on and is quite itchy for the patient but doesn’t have a lot of other severe complications.
After the patient initially overcomes VZV, it never truly goes away. It has the possibility of coming back, especially with the weakening of the immune system. It can attack again in a more severe form called shingles or Herpes Zoster. Shingles is a very painful rash that develops on one side of the body. In some cases, it may also cause chronic nerve pain or other serious complications, including blindness.
Shingles can also be caused by advanced age, stress, diseases (chronic or acute), cancer, or various other sources. In fact, the aforementioned factors usually also lead to the reactivation of other viruses. Chronic fatigue might lead to reactivating EBV, herpes might be reawoken with surgery, and HIV might be kickstarted by tumors.
A popular theory behind why viruses can be reactivated is that, after the initial wave of viruses was defeated, the body has a large fleet of naive CD-8 T-killer cells (immune cells that get rid of pathogens they don’t recognize) which serve to keep the remaining number of viruses in check.
When the immune system is placed under a lot of stress, such as during acute infection, when battling cancer, or after an organ transplant (due to the administered immunosuppressant drugs), those naïve CD-8 cells go down in number one way or another. The virus then seizes the chance to proliferate when defenses are down. Can Covid-19 Reactivate Latent Viruses? Although it is unclear what exactly lets the viruses know that the immune system is compromised or otherwise occupied, there is now an increasing pool of data that strongly correlates the reactivation of previous viruses and a Covid-19 infection or even vaccination.
For example, in the journal Cell,
The Toronto Transport Commission has dropped its Covid-19 vaccination mandate for employees, paving the way for the potential reinstatement of hundreds of terminated workers. In a news release issued on Thursday morning, the TTC said that it would formally lift the requirement as of Nov. 27. It said that employees who were terminated as a result of the policy “will be offered the opportunity to be reinstated” but will not be eligible for back pay.
The TTC previously terminated 354 employees for failing to comply with the mandate last January.
“The TTC is still encouraging all its employees to stay up-to-date with their Covid-19 vaccinations as this is the best protection from getting very sick,” the statement said.
The TTC’s decision to repeal its vaccination mandate for employees comes about a week after the City of Toronto confirmed that it would drop the mandate that was in place for its employees.
CTV News Toronto reported in June that the TTC was facing nearly $3 million worth of wrongful dismissal lawsuits filed by former employees in conjunction with its mandatory Covid-19 vaccination policy.
In its statement on Thursday the TTC defended its initial decision, which it said ensured “illnesses were kept to a bare minimum and allowed the TTC to continue delivering its essential service throughout the pandemic.”
It did not provide its reason for lifting the mandate now. Continue reading on www.cp24.com
Official figures published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirm that the United States of America suffered nearly 350,000 excess deaths as of September 25th 2022.
Source Data
Compared to other countries, the data provided by the US Government is far from transparent and hidden deep within their publications. However, we have finally managed to stumble upon it thanks to an institution known as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEC).
The OEC is an intergovernmental organisation with 38 member countries founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade. And for some reason, the host a wealth of data on excess deaths throughout 2022. You can find that data for yourself here.
The following charts have been created using the figures found in the OEC database. Figures that have been provided to the OEC by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). And it shows excess deaths across the USA by week in 2022 up to week 38 (25th September).

What on earth could be causing so many people to be dying across the USA in 2022? Could it have anything to do with the Covid-19 injections?
Data published by the UK Government certainly suggests so.
The following two charts show the monthly age-standardised mortality rates by vaccination status for non-Covid-19 deaths in England using figures extracted from the ONS dataset –
A more detailed breakdown of the above figures by individual age groups can be found here. But the following chart for 70 to 79-year-olds gives you a good idea of what the data reveals –
In January 2022, the partly vaccinated were 198% more likely to die than the unvaccinated, whilst the double vaccinated were a shocking 267% more likely to die than the unvaccinated.
The worst figures however come in May, which saw triple vaccinated 70-79-year-olds a disturbing 332% more likely to die than unvaccinated 70-79-year-olds, with a mortality rate of 9417.2 per 100k among the triple vaccinated and just 2181 per 100k among the unvaccinated.

When a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention committee announced last month that Covid-19 vaccines will be added to the recommended shot schedule for children, many parents began bracing for a fight. While the recommendation did not require that children receive the vaccine, it might as well have. CDC recommendations carry the weight of a federal agency, and many state agencies use them to develop policy.
Indeed, CDC guidance became a convenient scapegoat for state and local leaders (who were hesitant to take responsibility for unpopular policies) throughout the Covid pandemic.
And the schedule change gave states all the credibility they needed to require the vaccine for students to attend public schools.
California didn’t hesitate. Washington, D.C., did not even wait for the CDC’s recommendation. It long-ago mandated the vaccine for public school kids, with mixed compliance. Thankfully, Gov. Greg Abbott didn’t take the bait. He announced Thursday that “Texas schools shall not require students to receive the Covid-19 vaccine for any reason.” His decision is welcome, albeit unsurprising; it reaffirms last year’s executive order regarding state vaccine mandates more broadly.
But the clarity is helpful to parents who still felt uncertain.
Abbott deserves praise for his decision, but he isn’t some conservative outlier on the issue of this particular vaccine. Almost two dozen states have done the same.
Even Illinois Gov. J.D. Pritzker, a Democrat, said after his recent re-election that his state currently has no plans to add the Covid vaccine to its required list for students.
And newly re-elected Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, also a Democrat, suggested the same during his campaign.
That’s probably at least in part because vaccine uptake among youth has been slow.
Public health officials tend to blame that on “vaccine hesitancy” or “misinformation” about the potential side effects of the Covid shot.
It’s true that plenty of parents who gladly got the jab themselves have been hesitant to do the same for their children.
However, their decisions aren’t arbitrary.
There is precious little data — certainly nothing about long-term efficacy — to justify children (particularly the very young) to get the shots.
Data from other countries, such as Finland and Sweden, which don’t recommend Covid vaccines for children except in cases of severe comorbidities, suggests that in some cases, the risks may even outweigh the benefits.
For many parents, though, the issue isn’t even about safety, it’s about necessity.
We’ve known (although not always acknowledged) for more than two years, that Covid is a very mild disease in otherwise healthy children.
Many children are asymptomatic; and many would not have known they had contracted the disease had the testing regimens been less stringent.
We know, most importantly, that the vaccines do not prevent transmission. Just ask CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, who tested positive for Covid (twice!) just a month after her booster.
While the argument in favor of vaccines has been that they reduce disease severity, that simply has not been a concern for the vast majority of children.
Right now, other respiratory diseases, such as RSV, which have surged again this fall, are of far bigger concern to most parents. (And don’t even get me started on the stomach bug that’s going around.)
Despite the criticisms that too many people are falling victim to vaccine misinformation, parents generally know how to balance risk and benefit when it comes to their kids.
They should be allowed to make those decisions on their own.
It’s nice to live in a state where elected leaders think so, too. Continue reading on www.star-telegram.com
A St. Louis chiropractor could face more than $500 billion in civil penalties through a federal lawsuit that alleges that he profited from selling Vitamin D and zinc products in violation of the Covid-19 Consumer Protection Act. “The federal government is suing me for half a trillion dollars … for telling people to take vitamins,” said Dr. Eric Nepute. Nepute said his case goes to trial in Missouri federal court in March.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed the 27-page complaint in April 2021. It alleges, among other things, that Nepute profited from the online sale of Vitamin D and zinc products during the Covid-19 public health emergency.
Nepute, 41, is a licensed chiropractor and owner of Nepute Wellness Center in St. Louis. He also owns Quickwork, a limited liability company doing business as Wellness Warrior.
The government’s complaint alleges that Nepute, through social media and internet advertising, promoted and sold “Wellness Warrior Vita D” and other products as drugs capable of treating, or preventing, Covid-19.
“Starting no later than June 2020, [Nepute] began advertising a protocol that customers should follow to protect against, prevent, or treat Covid-19. This protocol, which has varied over time, advises consumers to take [daily] substantial quantities of emulsified Vitamin D3 and zinc,” found in the Wellness Warrior products, the complaint stated.
The complaint also claimed that “no published studies prove Vitamin D protects against, treats, or prevents Covid-19.”
According to the suit, Nepute’s “lack of factual or scientific bases for these claims [are] frequently accompanied by equally unsupported assertions regarding applicable science.
“In short, defendants are selling their products by disseminating information, exploiting fears [amid] a pandemic, and posting a significant risk to public health and safety.”
However, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states Vitamin D is “essential for bone health as well as muscle and nerve functions [and] helps the immune system fight off bacteria and viruses.”
Despite numerous settlement offers and arbitration, Nepute has rejected any out-of-court resolution and feels confident his case is strong enough to go to trial. “The only reason they’re coming after me—and they said this—is because I’m the first doctor they went after, and they want to set a precedent,” Nepute said.
“They said they wouldn’t stop until they had ‘blood on their sword.’ That’s literally from the FTC’s mouth.” Nepute said that his vocal stance favoring Vitamin D and zinc as immune boosters—including his public distribution of 2 million tablets during the pandemic at no charge—drew the federal government’s attention.
At the time, the government focused on the emergency authorized use of Covid-19 vaccines as the only course of safe and effective treatment of the disease.
“The [FTC is] pushing this because it’s political,” Nepute told The Epoch Times. “I’ve spent $3.5 million defending myself. The only tactic they have is to drag this out, so I can’t afford to take it to trial.”
Nepute’s lawyers recently filed a motion to dismiss the government’s case on summary judgment, including over 10 million alleged violations of the Covid-19 Consumer Protection Act of 2020 and 12 million violations of the FTC Act.
Each alleged violation carries a maximum $43,792 civil penalty for a total of over $500 billion—”exceeding the gross domestic product of Austria, Nigeria, and all but 25 nations,” according to the motion.
Frontline attorney Tom Renz of Ohio is Nepute’s advisory counsel in the case. “The problem with this is wrongful prosecution, in my opinion,” Renz said, “because [Nepute] didn’t lie. He didn’t commit fraud. He said this would bolster your immune system, and it’s true. Both [vitamin D and zinc] are well-known mechanisms for bolstering your immune system.

For everyone who was labeled a conspiracy theorist for calling out the fact this whole thing was a plandemic and the blueprint for future dictatorship, read this new declaration. You will need to be jabbed if you want to travel. It will be linked to digital ID. Link to the declaration.
Look at 23. This is very bad news for all of us injured by the jabs. Especially for people who like to travel, unfortunately you will probably never be travelling again unless you want to subject yourself to further poisoning.
According to 23 of the declaration, jabs will be required to travel internationally. It's unclear when exactly this will go into effect, but it has been signed off so they can basically put it in place whenever they want, so whether they create a new covid variant or an entirely new virus, they will be able to use this declaration to mandate jabs for travel, and this will be tied to the digital ID system that "conspiracy theorists" have warned would happen for years.
Everyone who has been predicting this stuff since the beginning looks real smart now and the people who insisted this wouldn't happen well, they look like the real idiots. Not to mention, Bill Gates and Klaus Schaub were in attendance for this meeting, can someone tell me what the reason for that is other than them being in control of our government? Because that IS the reason they are there.
This is not a conspiracy, this is stuff happening in real life in front of our faces and people refuse to wake up, as if they are full on brainwashed into not seeing what is happening right in front of them.
This is only the beginning, first it will just be needed for travel, wait for how bad things get in the future where you can't walk outside of your house without having a jab. We are looking at the beginning of a dystopian future, and we need to be prepared for what is to come. This is much bigger than you may think. Continue reading on www.reddit.com
Alabama, on Thursday night, called off the scheduled execution of a man convicted in the 1988 murder-for-hire slaying of a preacher’s wife after the state had trouble establishing venous access and the state faced a midnight deadline to get the execution underway. Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner John Hamm said prison staff tried for about an hour to get the two required intravenous lines connected to Kenneth Eugene Smith, 57. Hamm said they got one established but were not able to get the second after trying several locations on Smith’s body.
The U.S. Supreme Court cleared at about 10:20 p.m., but the state determined about an hour later that the lethal injection would not happen that evening. It is the second execution since September that the state has cancelled because of venous access difficulties.
The postponement came after Smith’s final appeals focused on problems with intravenous lines at the last two scheduled lethal injections. Because the death warrant expired at midnight, the state must go back to court to seek a new execution date.
A view of a lethal injection death chamber.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for Alabama to execute an inmate convicted in the 1988 murder-for-hire slaying of a preacher’s wife.
Justices lifted a stay issued earlier in the evening by the 11th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals, allowing the state to proceed with the execution of Kenneth Eugene Smith, 57. The order came down about 90 minutes before the state’s midnight deadline to get the execution underway.
Smith had raised concerns about problems with venous access at the state’s last two scheduled lethal injections as he sought a last-minute reprieve.
Prosecutors said Smith was one of two men who were each paid $1,000 to kill Elizabeth Sennett on behalf of her husband, who was deeply in debt and wanted to collect on insurance.
Sennett was found dead on March 18, 1988, in the couple’s home on Coon Dog Cemetery Road in Alabama’s Colbert County. The coroner testified that the 45-year-old woman had been stabbed eight times in the chest and once on each side of the neck. Her husband, Charles Sennett Sr, who was the pastor of the Westside Church of Christ, killed himself when the murder investigation started to focus on him as a suspect, according to court documents.
Smith’s final appeals focused on the state’s recent problems at lethal injections.
One execution was carried out after a delay, and the other was called off as the state faced a midnight deadline to get the execution underway. Smith’s attorneys also raised the issue that judges are no longer allowed to sentence an inmate to death if a jury recommends a life sentence.
John Forrest Parker, the other man convicted in the slaying, was executed in 2010. “I’m sorry. I don’t ever expect you to forgive me. I really am sorry,” Parker said to the victim’s sons before he was put to death.

According to appellate court documents, Smith told police in a statement that it was, “agreed for John and I to do the murder” and that he took items from the house to make it look like a burglary. Smith’s defense at trial said he participated in the attack but that he did not intend to kill her, according to court documents.
In the hours before the execution was scheduled to be carried out, the prison system said Smith visited with his attorney and family members, including his wife. He ate cheese curls and drank water, but declined the prison breakfast when it was offered to him.
The execution of Joe Nathan James Jr. was delayed because of problems establishing an IV line, leading an anti-death penalty group to claim the execution was botched. In September, the state called off the scheduled execution of Alan Miller because of difficulty accessing his veins. Miller said in a court filing that prison staff poked him with needles for over an hour and at one point,
Al Roker is on the mend after a health condition sent him to the hospital. The Today show weather anchor — who has been absent from the NBC morning show for two weeks now — gave an update on his whereabouts Friday morning, revealing in an Instagram post that he's been receiving medical treatment for blood clots.
See "Al Roker gets the Covid-19 vaccine live on TODAY" "So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I've been," wrote Roker, 68, captioning a photo of a bouquet of flowers. "Last week I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs." "After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrific medical care and on the way to recovery," he added.
Roker concluded, "Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers and hope to see you soon. Have a great weekend, everyone."
Roker has been a staple on Today as the program's premiere weather anchor since 1996, though made appearances as a substitute weathercaster from 1990 to 1995, filling in for the late Willard Scott before his semiretirement.
He was last absent from the show in late September, after testing positive for Covid-19.
While Roker has been dealing with his health issues, Dylan Dreyer has been filling in for him on Today. She and anchors Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin and Carson Daly sent their colleague well wishes on Friday's show.
"He's in good spirits, we've all talked to him," said Guthrie, 50, with co-anchor Kotb, 58, stressing, "He's in great spirits." Continue reading on people.com
Just when you thought this freaking war on Covid unvaxxinated had ended, G20 leaders have just signed a declaration which states that vaccine passports will be adopted to “facilitate” all international travel… This means any vaccination the WHO determines you should have.

We now have the data in black and white from Pfizer itself: already when the vaccines were launched, it was known that they would not protect from the spread of infection. And yet, millions of people have taken the vaccine, mainly because of the heavy social pressure felt through the solidarity argument. Therefore, they have also risked dire side effects, while those responsible all of a sudden deny that this absolute argument never really was crucial.
This was just a confirmation of what we already knew. Still, when Dutch MEP Rob Roos asked a yes/no question to Pfizer’s representative Janine Small, it was nonetheless a historic moment. Had the vaccine been tested before it was launched to see whether it protected against the spread of Covid-19?
The answer was ”No,” followed by an awkward laugh and a word salad: ”We had to really move with the speed of science to understand what is taking place in the market…” Let that sink in. Pfizer has known all along that these injections have no greater proven effect on the spread of infection than an ice lolly.
Once again, this is nothing new. Peter Doshi, one of the editors of the British Medical Journal informed us already two years ago that the vaccine manufacturers’ clinical trials were not designed to answer the most relevant questions.
However, the announcement in the European Parliament still set off a powerful tidal wave, which should sweep along some of those who have spread and fueled this lie. I am talking about heads of state and top bureaucrats, epidemiologists and experts, editors-in-chief and celebrities. Just to mention a few.
When Johan Carlsson, the director general of the Swedish public health agency (Folkhälsomyndigheten) in office at the time, declared in a well-attended press conference in June 2021 that they now recommend young people aged sixteen and above to take the Pfizer vaccine, he cited three main reasons for this:
The first and most important: Vaccines protect the individual against illness…
The second reason is that vaccination reduces the risk of the infection spreading among young people…
The third reason is that the spread of infection to other age groups also decreases somewhat when the age limit for the vaccination offer is lowered.
Was Carlsson himself misled by the vaccine manufacturers? Or did he deliberately mislead the press corps present and the Swedish people?
When a public narrative starts to fall apart, it can have unforeseen consequences. After all, if a public official lie is exposed and people are forced to realize they have been profoundly fooled, a follow-up question may well present itself: If they can lie about something this significant, what else have they been lying about?
To prevent a domino effect to that consequence, they now try to minimize the damage, such as what Reuters’ ”fact-checker” did with the following tweet: Posts online are saying Pfizer “admitted” that the company did not test whether their Covid-19 vaccine reduced risk of the infection spreading prior to rolling it out - something they were not required to do, nor claimed to have done. The truth is, they have, albeit nicely wrapped up at times. In January 2021, shortly after the launch, Pfizer wrote on Twitter that their vaccines “have been emergency approved to prevent individuals from the age of 16 from getting Covid-19.”
In May of this year, Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla participated in a live discussion at the World Economic Forum. When asked why anyone should get vaccinated if there is now a treatment for Covid-19, Bourla replied: ”The primary thing is not to get the disease to begin with, and therefore you should get vaccinated. In this way, you also protect those you love.”
CJ Hopkins writes in Off-Guardian that ”fact-checkers” should be called ”gaslighters,” since what they really do is engage in psychological manipulation. Gaslighting means that you systematically feed your victim false information and make them q...
Former Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich has sued the university and Gov. Jay Inslee after he was fired last year for refusing to get vaccinated against Covid-19. The lawsuit, filed last week in Whitman County Superior Court, names the university, athletic director Patrick Chun and Inslee as defendants. Inslee, a Democrat, had required that state employees get vaccinated—or receive a specific exemption—to keep their jobs.
Rolovich contends Chun and other university officials were "hostile" when they denied him a religious exemption and fired him from his $3 million a year coaching job midway through the 2021 season. Rolovich was the highest-paid public employee in the state at the time and had more than three years left on his five-year contract.
Rolovich is Catholic and said in the lawsuit that he applied for a religious exemption from the vaccine requirement.
The lawsuit contends Chun interrupted that process, which led to Rolovich’s religious exemption ultimately being rejected. It also contends Chun called Rolovich a "con man" and accused him of being selfish.
Washington State officials issued a statement Monday saying the lawsuit was "wholly without merit."
"Washington State University carried out the Governor’s Covid-19 vaccination proclamation for state employees in a fair and lawful manner, including in its evaluation of employee requests for medical or religious exemptions and accommodations. For multiple reasons, Mr. Rolovich did not qualify, and the university firmly stands by that decision," the statement said.
Rolovich appealed his firing in a letter submitted in November 2021 to Chun, but the appeal was denied. A second appeal was then sent to university President Kirk Schulz, who denied that appeal in December.
Last April, Rolovich filed a tort claim saying he intended to sue and seek $25 million in damages for wrongful termination. However, the lawsuit filed this week does not ask for a specific dollar amount in damages.
The lawsuit alleges breach of contract, discrimination and wrongful withholding of wages, as well as violations of the Civil Rights Act and the First and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
Rolovich was hired from Hawaii in 2020 after former coach Mike Leach left for Mississippi State. In parts of two seasons, Rolovich led the Cougars to a 5-6 record. After he was fired at midseason, assistant coach Jake Dickert was named interim coach and led the Cougars to a bowl game last season. Dickert was made the permanent coach after that.

In a lawsuit against the Pentagon for its denial of nearly all religious exemptions under its coronavirus vaccine mandate, a new amicus brief accuses the U.S. government of failing to provide updated evidence proving “long-term efficacy.” Powerhouse D.C. law firm Schaerr Jaffe filed the amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on Wednesday. The brief asks for the court to uphold a decision from the Middle District of Florida, which granted a class-wide injunction that prohibits the Marine Corps from enforcing the Biden administration’s military vaccine mandate against or discharging Marines whose religious exemptions were denied.
Ken Blackwell, senior fellow for Human Rights and Constitutional Governance at the Family Research Council said:
FRC is honored to stand for religious liberty in the military by supporting these Marines. We hope that this contribution educates the public about both the First Amendment and Covid-19, so that Americans are better informed about protecting public health while also protecting fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
The brief argues that the burden lies with the Department of Defense to “demonstrate that requiring a one-time administration of a current Covid-19 vaccine furthers the Nation’s compelling interest in military readiness” and to prove “long-term efficacy” if it continues to stifle troops’ religious liberty by denying exemptions.
“Instead of attempting the necessary factual showing, the Department chants the term ‘narrowly tailored’ in talismanic fashion, as if merely saying the words means the requirement has been satisfied,” the brief states. “But this is strict scrutiny, not an incantation, and precedent from the Supreme Court and this Court show that, to carry its burden, the Department must provide evidence of its mandate’s long-term efficacy in achieving a compelling governmental interest.”
The brief states that the original vaccines and “even updated vaccinations and boosters which were supposed to protect Omicron are not effective against the newer subvariants of Omicron,” and that those subvariants have become responsible for the majority of infections.
“This rapidly moving target continues to outpace efforts to update vaccines to match the current threat, and the Department has not submitted evidence to the contrary. The current Vaccine Mandate accordingly cannot stop the spread of Covid-19,” the brief states, citing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) own admission that the vaccines do not stop transmission of the virus.
The brief accuses the Department of Defense of relying on vaccine data from February 2022 to justify its mandate and calls the data “ancient—and thus largely irrelevant” given the fast-evolving nature of the disease.
The brief states: The sort of evidence the Department has provided here does not establish what they must prove. That is because the submitted data do not track vaccine effectiveness against the subvariants that constitute almost all the current threat, nor do they track long-term effectiveness months after vaccination once the antibodies have waned. The brief further argues that the Department of Defense has failed to consider that “newer variations of Covid-19 are often less dangerous,” as well as studies showing how military-aged young people are at minimal risk of serious illness from the virus.
“This oddity is exacerbated by the Department’s well-documented recruiting challenges. In September,” the brief continues, “the Army fell 15,000 short of its recruiting goal—a full 25 percent of what the Pentagon sought— despite a frantic effort to make up the shortfall, noting the Pentagon’s difficulty in finding young people willing and fit to enlist.”
The brief points out that President Joe Biden recently declared that “the pandemic is over,” noted Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s order to “stand down” over a 60-day period so military comma...
Pfizer’s Chief Financial Officer boasted that the Covid vaccine franchise represents a “multi-billion dollar” market for years to come as it marked up prices by 10,000 per cent. The comments were made by David Denton during an earnings call with investors last week.
The CFO asserted that the virus had become “somewhat like a flu… but more deadly,” and that the vaccines and anti-virals produced by Pfizer to combat it would be “relevant for many years to come.”
Pfizer’s yearly profits of around $80 billion from sales of Covid vaccines and the antiviral drug Paxlovid apparently isn’t enough for the company. Last month, the pharmaceutical giant revealed that it was tripling the price of the shot to up to $130 a dose, a huge leap form the $19 to $30 that governments previously paid. “Some experts estimate each individual shot to cost just $1.18 to make – meaning the new price represents a 10,000% markup,” reports the Daily Mail.
The markup represents an effort to meet a projected revenue target of $32 billion this year.
Peter Maybarduk, Director of Access to Medicines at Public Citizen, said Pfizer had already made “obscene” profits, with the company having grossed $40.9 billion in 2019 and $41.7 billion in 2020, with a projected $102 billion in total revenue this year.
Meanwhile, in a completely unrelated story, in the UK there’s a striking new correlation between Autumn vaccine boosters and non-Covid excess deaths. “The high excess deaths – many of which are heart-related – continued throughout the summer and didn’t drop off as the booster campaign finished. This may be due to a delayed effect of vaccine injury, or other causes may be involved,” writes Will Jones. Continue reading on summit.news
A study conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Food and Drug Administration has shown that the risk of myocarditis following mRNA Covid vaccination is around 133x greater than the background risk in the population. This means Covid vaccination increases the risk of suffering myocarditis, an autoimmune disease causing inflammation of the heart, by 13,200%.
Source
The study, conducted by researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as well as from several U.S. universities and hospitals, examined the effects of vaccination with products manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.
The study’s authors used data obtained from the CDC’s VAERS reporting system which were cross-checked to ensure they complied with CDC’s definition of myocarditis; they also noted that given the passive nature of the VAERS system, the number of reported incidents is likely to be an underestimate of the extent of the phenomenon.
1626 cases of myocarditis were studied, and the results showed that the Pfizer-BioNTech product was most associated with higher risk, with 105.9 cases per million doses after the second vaccine shot in the 16 to 17 age group for males, and 70.7 cases per million doses after the second shot in the 12 to 15 age group for males. The 18 to 24 male age group also saw significantly higher rates of myocarditis for both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s products (52.4 and 56.3 cases per million respectively).
Source
The study found that the median time to symptom onset was two days, and that 82 percent of cases were in males, consistent with previous studies. Around 96 percent of affected people were hospitalized, with most treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; 87 percent of those hospitalized had resolution of symptoms by time of discharge.
At the time of data review, two reports of death in people younger than 30 years of age with potential myocarditis still remained under investigation and were not included in the case counts.
Among the reported symptoms were: chest pain, pressure, or discomfort (89%), shortness of breath (30%), abnormal ECG results (72%), and abnormal cardiac MRI findings (72%).
The study’s authors noted that myocarditis following vaccination appeared to resolve more swiftly than in typical viral cases; however, given that vaccination is no longer considered a reliable way in which to avoid Covid infection, it is unclear whether this has any specific relevance to the cost-benefit analysis of Covid vaccination, especially considering the low risk of complications following coronavirus infection for the age group most at risk for heart-related complications following vaccination.
Given the plethora of studies confirming a link between vaccination and myocarditis, the CDC has commenced active surveillance of adolescents and young adults to monitor their progress following heart-related incidents after vaccination. Long-term outcome data, however, are not yet available.
In the meantime, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology advise that people with myocarditis should refrain from competitive sports for three to six months, and only resume strenuous exercise after normal ECG and other test results are obtained. In addition, they advise that further mRNA vaccine doses should be deferred. Continue reading on expose-news.com
Fueled by the phrase, “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” last year many corporate media outlets began running a series of articles attacking people who chose to exercise their medical informed consent rights and not get vaccinated for Covid-19. The hit pieces laid the blame for the continuing Covid pandemic squarely on the shoulders of unvaccinated Americans. Why? Because in a crisis situation in which there appears to be no end in sight or any quick solution or easy exit strategy, identifying a scapegoat may often be the next best thing.
The underlying assumption behind the scapegoating of unvaccinated people by the media was that Covid shots available to the public were capable of preventing infection with and transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and, thus, represented the solution to ending the Covid pandemic once and for all. Those opting not to get the shots and remain unvaccinated were then, logically, to blame for the unnecessary continuation of the pandemic.
Of course, this underlying assumption about how unvaccinated people were the ones getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 and spreading the virus was already on very shaky ground at the time. In January 2021, The Vaccine Reaction reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) had warned that there was no guarantee the Covid shots would prevent people from getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 and transmitting it to others.
The TVR article, written by Barbara Loe Fisher, also noted a Newsweek interview with Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which reinforced the WHO’s admission that health officials did not know if the Covid shots could prevent infection and transmission. Fisher wrote: According to WHO officials, while it appears the vaccines can prevent clinically symptomatic Covid-19 clinical disease, there is no clear evidence Covid-19 vaccines are effective at preventing asymptomatic infection and transmission. Fisher quoted WHO chief scientist and pediatrician Soumya Swaminathan, MD, who said:
We continue to wait for more results from the vaccine trials to really understand whether the vaccines, apart from preventing symptomatic disease and severe disease and deaths, whether they’re also going to reduce infection or prevent people from getting infected with the virus, then from passing it on or transmitting it to other people. I don’t’ believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on. CDC Admits Fully Vaccinated People Can Catch and Spread SARS-CoV-2 During the summer of 2021, there was an outbreak of Covid in Provincetown, Massachusetts, in which 74 percent of the people infected with SARS-CoV-2 and diagnosed were fully vaccinated. After analyzing the data from the outbreak, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that vaccinated individuals can become infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and transmit it to others.
That was a watershed moment in the pandemic because that is when it became clear that the available Covid shots could not be relied on to protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission. That is the moment in history that the rationale for blaming unvaccinated people for ongoing Covid pandemic ceased to make any sense.
But still, the media persisted, even after CDC director Rochelle Walensky, MD publicly stated on Aug. 5, 2021 that while she believed the Covid shots “work well” with the Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus “with regard to severe illness and death,” they are no longer able to “prevent transmission” of the virus. On Aug 12, 2021, Salon published an article titled “It’s OK to blame the unvaccinated — they are robbing the rest of us of our freedoms.” A few days later, on Aug. 16, the Los Angeles Times published an article titled ” We can’t blame the unmasked and unvaccinated for being irresponsible?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is being asked to provide data on how many children infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have received a Covid-19 vaccine prior to their diagnosis, according to Aaron Siri, a lawyer representing the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN). “Our firm, on behalf of our client Informed Consent Action Network, sent the letter to the CDC asking for follow-up on this issue,” Siri wrote in an email to The Epoch Times, adding that FOIA requests have also been submitted.
“If the CDC chooses not to respond to the letter, they will at least be required pursuant to law to respond to the FOIA requests,” Siri said.
The letter (pdf) was sent to CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky in regard to the out-of-season surge in RSV cases across the country.
RSV is a respiratory virus that usually causes cold-like symptoms in people of all ages. Doctors say that the virus is so common that many children will have been infected with it before they are two years old.
In most people, RSV is mild and will go away in a week or two, but for some—who are immunocompromised or have a lung or heart disease—the viral infection can be quite severe.
Prior to the appearance of Covid-19, RSV season usually occurred from November through April, according to a 2018 study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
But in the winter of 2020, the typical surge in RSV-related hospitalizations among children was absent, instead occurring offseason in March 2021 and peaking in July. Normally, March and April are when RSV activity would decrease. Other countries also saw a surge in RSV during their summer season.

Government health authorities claim that the increase in RSV is a result of restrictions put in place to curb the spread of Covid-19, causing “far fewer infections in younger people,” and that many children were not able to develop immunity, making them more susceptible.
This phenomenon is described as “immunity gap—a group of susceptible individuals who avoided infection and therefore lack pathogen-specific immunity to protect against future infection” as a result of less exposure to viruses normally seen, according to authors of a Lancet article published on July 12, 2022.
Changes in societal behavioral and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), including lockdowns and mask-wearing, during Covid-19 changed the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the “predictable seasonal circulation patterns of many endemic viral illnesses in children,” the authors wrote.
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes Covid-19.
Researchers of a study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases found that NPIs put in place in the winter of 2020 to 2021 to stop the spread of Covid-19 in the United Kingdom may have lowered children’s immunity to RSV and put them at a higher risk of infection later. “The extraordinary absence of RSV during winter 2020–21 probably resulted in a cohort of young children without natural immunity to RSV, thereby raising the potential for increased RSV incidence, out-of-season activity, and health-service pressures when measures to restrict SARS-CoV-2 transmission were relaxed,” the authors wrote. Other Possible Explanations There is ongoing debate on the possible explanations for the unusual RSV wave in the spring to summer of 2021 and 2022, and the current early fall surge.
Some experts allege that immunity gap, also known as immunity debt, doesn’t exist or explain the cause of the surge, although the “term has been described in the literature for over 50 years.” Instead, they claim that the high RSV hospitalizations is due to SARS-CoV-2 infection having damaged children’s immune systems.
A third possible reason for the RSV wave is that Covid-19 injections may increase the risk of infection from other diseases and why several experts, including ICAN,
With recent calls for “Pandemic Amnesty” from the groups who destroyed lives and businesses, closed schools, stripped away your freedoms and turned family, friends and neighbors against each other, the unvaccinated and truth tellers find themselves in a pickle. Morality and civility could argue that we should forgive those who vilified us for choosing medical sovereignty, non-compliance with unconstitutional mandates, and simply questioning the narrative, but it’s not that simple.
Some “pro-vaxers” may have been legitimately uniformed or scared to blindly follow health guidelines and government mandates without question. But the mob mentality to demonize the unvaccinated and gaslight society into thinking we were the problem crossed a potentially unforgivable line.
Making the rounds online is an LA Times article from earlier this year titled "Mocking anti-vaxxers’ Covid deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary." The article URL is even titled “why-shouldnt-we-dance-on-the-graves-of-anti-vaxxers.”
The reporter contends: “Those who have deliberately flouted sober medical advice by refusing a vaccine known to reduce the risk of serious disease from the virus, including the risk to others, and end up in the hospital or the grave can be viewed as receiving their just desserts. “That’s even more true of those who not only refused the vaccine for themselves, but publicly advocated that others do so.
“It has become common online and in social media for vaccine refusers and anti-vaccine advocates to become the target of ridicule after they come down with Covid-19 and especially if they die from it.”
He even promotes the disgusting and hateful website www.SorryAntivaxxer.com that posts details and photos of deceased “anti-vaxxer activists, who helped spread Covid-19 misinformation on social media” and encourages visitors to “stop others from making the same mistake. GET VACCINATED!”
He also praises a fellow reporter for delighting in the fact that “mocking anti-vaxxers when they get sick has become a bit of a sport.”
There are endless examples of hatred and contemptible acts towards the unvaccinated over the past two years, but to relish in their death is abhorrent. The data and information are now clear that the vaccines did not work as promised and the propaganda machine was lying. Even the CDC admits there is no difference in guidance for vaccinated and unvaccinated.
So, what are the unvaccinated to do?
DON’T be spiteful, DON’T forget and DON’T stop asking questions!
One of the first questions we need to ask, and a concession to be made from the “Pandemic Amnesty” camp, needs to be around whether or not the young and healthy people suddenly dying, have been vaccinated. This should not be taboo, and it should be for the greater scientific community to debate and learn from.
We know now all-cause mortality rates are up, health agencies are now normalizing SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) and Myocarditis, while blaming deaths of healthy young adults on the side effects of Covid.
To call a truce and work together for answers, the Covid-19 vaccine must be a factor. It’s not gruesome to ask if someone was vaccinated when they died suddenly and for unknown causes. The answer will get us all closer to the truth, potentially save lives, and know where the line is when the next fear-driven propaganda event tries to divide and destroy us.
So, to the hateful mob waving a white flag, please remember…
We WON’T celebrate your deaths, we WON’T wish harm on you, but we WON’T forget that you did.

Three additional Covid-19 vaccine injuries have met the bar for compensation, U.S. authorities announced Oct. 20. Six claims lodged with the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) have now been determined to be eligible for compensation, a Health Resources and Services Administration official told a meeting on vaccines. All the claims relate to Covid-19 vaccines.
One is the result of severe allergic shock. The five others are the result of myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation.
None of the six injured people have been compensated. Officials are reviewing “eligible expenses,” the official said.
Due to the invocation of an emergency over the Covid-19 pandemic, Covid-19 vaccine injury claims must be made to the CICP, rather than a different program called the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
Certain serious conditions and deaths are covered by CICP, but claims must be judged by a secret panel as having proven a link between the condition or death and the vaccine.
Some Covid-19 therapies are also covered by the program.
Forty-eight claims have been denied because they did not meet the standard proof of causation bar and/or the injury sustained is not covered, the administration official said.
As of Oct. 1, some 10,300 claims have been lodged. About 70 percent allege injuries from Covid-19 vaccines. VICP Claims Drop Many more claims are being made to the CICP than to the VICP, which was created in the 1980s to shield vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits.
VICP covers a number of vaccines regularly given to Americans, such as the measles vaccine, the Hepatitis A vaccine, and the Tetanus shot.
In fiscal year 2021, 2,057 claims were lodged with the VICP. U.S. authorities paid about $203 million to resolve claims, and another $36 million for fees to attorneys representing injured people.
In fiscal year 2022, just 995 claims were filed. That led to payments of nearly $196 million, as well as an additional $34.2 million to lawyers.
VICP has a gigantic backlog. There are more than 1,500 claims still awaiting review. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
A group of physicians in California are suing Governor Gavin Newsom and his administration over a new law that will restrict free speech for doctors.
73-page letter here (PDF).
Assembly Bill 2098 was signed into law by Newsom (D-Calif.) in September, prompting the recently filed lawsuit.
The bill would put physicians at risk of losing their licenses and being charged with unprofessional conduct for asking questions about the Covid-19 vaccine and recommending alternative treatments.
Dr. Jeff Barke, a board certified physician who joined the suit, said that this is concerning as the law would essentially be a gag order on medical professionals. “Your listeners should know is that the law itself states the following: misinformation means false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care,” Barke said. “This is basically a gag order on all physicians. What’s really disturbing is it’s going to require their physicians to be forced to consider the state’s position when deciding the treatment plan for the patient.” The new law is set to go into effect in January.

A 4-year-old boy who starred in a national measles, mumps, rubella, and polio vaccination campaign in Argentina has tragically died from pneumonia, according to autopsy reports. Santino Godoy Blanco's mother, Agustina, told Todo Noticias that her son was twice misdiagnosed — first with gastroenterocolitis, then with laryngitis — in the week leading up to his untimely death.
Doctors at the Larcade Hospital in San Miguel repeatedly sent Santino home before finally suspecting pneumonia on Thursday, November 3, according to Agustina. Santino tragically passed away later that same evening.
Santino's family has filed a "complaint for abandonment" and malpractice against the hospital.
https://youtu.be/nDtPvubLFSw
Santino recently starred in a national campaign ad promoting vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella, and polio for the Ministry of Health of Argentina, which was originally scheduled to continue through November 13, but was discontinued after the 4-year-old star's widely publicized death.

The Australian government says the risk of myocarditis from a Covid booster might be greater than Covid itself — so it won’t allow people under 30 to get a fourth vaccine. “In males aged 16-40 years, it is uncertain whether the risk following Covid-19 remains higher than the risk following vaccination,” the government said.
The government considers myocarditis and pericarditis following Covid vaccination severe enough to warrant a 13-page guideline. The guideline is updated regularly. “The majority of cases of myocarditis reported after Covid-19 vaccines have occurred in males under 40, and the majority have occurred within 1-5 days (median 2 days) following the second dose of an mRNA vaccine. Myo/pericarditis is more common after the second dose of Moderna compared with second doses of Pfizer and AstraZeneca.” The guidance further states that there are no studies on the long-term dangers of myocarditis following Covid vaccination. The government says most cases result in hospitalization and some in death.
Last week, Pfizer and Moderna launched clinical trials to study the long-term effects of myocarditis following vaccination with its mRNA vaccines. The launch comes roughly 18 months after the products went to market with a promise of being “safe and effective.” NBC News reports that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required the drugmakers to conduct the study. It was needed as part of the emergency-use approval process that allowed the drugs to go to market before clinical trials were completed.
In July, Ontario Chief Medical Officer Kieran Moore announced that a fourth vaccine is now available for everyone over 18. However, he said not everyone should get another vaccine due to the risk of myocarditis.
Moore also suggested the “vaccine” is therapeutic.
“There’s always a risk to having any therapeutic versus a benefit. You want to make sure there’s a very strong benefit versus the risk. If you’re an 18-year-old healthy individual, the risk of getting hospitalized if you have no underlying medical illness is very, very low,” Moore said. Continue reading on thecountersignal.com
According to the Epoch Times, the FDA is preparing to publish a study that concludes there are four potential adverse events that seniors could experience following the Pfizer covid shot. (A little late, aren’t they?) Their study focuses on the elderly, and these adverse events featured in the study were found from analyzing health care claims from the Medicare database - the government insurance plan for people over age 65.
The adverse reactions found in this study that will be presented soon are:
blood clotting in the lungs insufficient oxygen to the heart low blood platelet levels disseminated intravascular coagulation
Here’s the insane part from when they initially announced this study back in July of 2021: “These four events may not be true safety concerns, and the screening method cannot establish that the vaccine caused these AEI. FDA is sharing the initial findings of this safety study in the spirit of transparency but does not believe there is a cause for concern. There are alternative explanations for the findings, including the fact that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was given to many high-risk individuals who were older and had significant co-morbidities,” the FDA said at the time. “FDA continues to closely monitor the safety of the Covid-19 vaccines and will further investigate these findings by conducting more rigorous epidemiological studies. FDA will share further updates and information with the public as they become available,” it also said. Will they repeat the “safe and effective” mantra once this study is published? Probably. Be watching for it.
The FDA did say that post-trial administration of the vaccines in large numbers of people “may reveal additional, potentially less frequent and/or more serious adverse events not detected in the” trials, and in the months following authorization, the FDA added warnings for adverse events to all of the available vaccines.
People set to receive the Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and Novavax vaccines are told in FDA fact sheets that they could experience a severe allergic reaction. Myocarditis and pericarditis, two forms of heart inflammation, are possible after receipt of the Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax. Evidence accumulated after the trials shows a causal link between heart inflammation and the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, U.S. health officials have said.
Other side effects that have been reported after receipt of one or more of the vaccines include swollen lymph nodes, skin tingling, blood clots, and diarrhea.
The FDA and other health agencies maintain that the benefits of the vaccines outweigh the risks, a position challenged by some health experts.
The FDA rushes the covid “vaccine” approval process in warp speed, while approaching the safety of these shots with the speed of a drunk sloth. Continue reading on newsdetectives.substack.com
As a social worker known for her expertise when handling high-stress conflict management cases, Angela Loerzel Swafford figured she’d navigate her own concerns when it came to addressing her employers’ vaccination mandate last fall. And she definitely had concerns.
Like many hospitals and health systems across the nation during that time, the hospital where the 46-year-old was and is still employed required their health workers to get the jab. But Swafford suffers from a venous malformation, a condition where veins in the body develop in an unusual way. Because the abnormality can increase the risk of developing blood clots and deep vein thrombosis, she was hesitant about getting the Covid jab.
Still, worried about the possibility of losing the job she loved, the licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in both Oregon and Washington, was willing to do what was needed to protect her patients from Covid-19.
“I love that job,” said Swafford who had always gotten the flu vaccine every year to protect the vulnerable patients she visits in hospice care. “I have this concern about my own safety but I also understand what I need to do to protect the community.”
“It stops with you,” she added, or so she had always been told. No Space for Questions Swafford reached out to a few of her health providers, asking which vaccine would be best for her situation. However, she claimed that she didn’t feel supported during her inquiry and decision-making process.
“I think there should be space that we can be curious and pause and ask questions,” she said, noting she did express her health concerns but that her employer and health providers didn’t really allow any questions. “I feel that the physicians had a script and I was not heard and was kind of pushed through.” Seizure-like Symptoms, Blurred Vision After being one of the last of her cohort of colleagues to receive the first Pfizer shot, what transpired next for Swafford was nothing short of horrifying.
Four hours later she started noticing pain in her upper body and difficulty charting her patients. Driving home that night, she lost orientation as to where she was. “Taking the exit to my house, I remember it felt like my face was exploding in pinpricks – like I had all of these sharp needle feelings all over my face,” she recalled. “My tongue, lips, and face felt swollen, my vision was blurred and I wasn’t processing information.” Once home, the strange sensations were followed by a repeated jerking of her whole body, what she said resembled Tonic-Clonic seizures. She also experienced blurred vision and terrible headaches. “The biggest thing was my vision, confusion in my thinking, trying to walk with coordination and dizziness,” she went on. “I couldn’t figure things out.”
During some neurology psychiatry testing, Swafford said she fell under the two percentile of the people in her peer group when it came to her “processing speed” and “impaired ability to learn new information.”
“They found I’m not encoding new information–that my processing is really slow,” she explained. Ultimately, Swafford was diagnosed with a severe adverse reaction to the mRNA vaccine Now, more than a year later after undergoing numerous lab tests, MRIs, CT scans, and a plethora of visits to healthcare professionals (including neurologists, an epidemiologist, an occupational medicine specialist, a speech therapist, and others), Swafford continues to suffer cognitively, from an abrupt change in her vision and sleep abnormalities. She doesn’t drive because of double vision and a loss of peripheral vision and hasn’t returned to work. Doctors: Neurological Side Effects Have Been More Unusual Meanwhile, despite cases of myocarditis having made the headlines in terms of adverse reactions to the vaccines, neurological side effects like the ones experienced by Swafford, haven’t gotten the same attention.
That, along with what she described as her health providers’ lack of ackn...
Pfizer’s chief financial officer has described the Covid pandemic as a 'multi-billion dollar franchise' — and expects profit to continue. David Denton told investors in an earnings call last week his company's vaccine and antiviral would still be 'relevant for many years to come'. The CFO said he expects the Covid virus to be 'somewhat like a flu... but more deadly' — meaning therapeutics will still have a massive role in controlling the virus. So far Pfizer reaped about $80 billion in yearly revenue from sales of Covid vaccines and the antiviral drug Paxlovid.
The company announced last month it will triple the price of its shot to up to $130 per dose next year — a far cry from the roughly $19 to $30 per dose that the government paid.
Some experts estimate each individual shot to cost just $1.18 to make — meaning the new price represents a 10,000 per cent markup.
Analysts speculate that the move was made so Pfizer could still meet its target of $32 billion of projected vaccine revenue this year.
Critics say that the decision shows the firm's greed. Peter Maybarduk, director of access to medicines at Public Citizen, told DailyMail.com that the firm was already in a good of financial position that they could take some loss. Maybarduk also said that the firm has already made an 'obscene' amount of money, and will be ok if they do not meet revenue projections that were likely inflated anyways.
Pfizer was an early winner during the pandemic when it became the first company to get a Covid-19 vaccine approved for the US market. Subsequent vaccine mandates for healthcare workers and the military further drove up sales of vaccines.
The company projects $102 billion in total revenue this year with the vaccine and its antiviral Paxlovid - more than double the company's yearly revenue in 2019 ($40.9 billion) and 2020 ($41.7 billion).
Julia Kosgei, policy advisor to the The People's Vaccine Alliance said: 'Experts have estimated that Pfizer's vaccine costs just $1.18 per dose to make... Charging $130 per dose would represent a markup of more than ten thousand per cent. This is daylight robbery.' 'Governments must not stand by while companies like Pfizer hold the world to ransom in a global pandemic,' she added. Contracts signed by the government to secure billions of doses of vaccines at no cost to Americans will run out soon, shifting the cost of purchasing shots to health insurance companies.
Pfizer CFO David Denton told investors: ‘I think if you look out longer term, the franchise is going to be a multibillion-dollar franchise in the respect that this is going to be somewhat like a flu, sustained flu, but actually more deadly than the flu.
‘I think the products, both from a vaccine and the therapy perspective that Pfizer has developed, are going to be quite relevant for many years to come,’ he said.
Pfizer is charging $130 for its Covid-19 vaccine - a 10,000% mark-up from the estimated $1.18 it costs them to develop a single dose of the vaccine. The firm was charging the US government around $20 per shot but rose prices in an effort to make up for poor demand for the jabs. It is forecasted to rake in over $100billion in revenue this year, and brought in $81.2billion last year. These figures well clear the $40billion per year it was earning the years prior. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has earned $50million in compensation over the past two years, while BioNTech found Dr Ugar Sahin is now a billionaire.
Pfizer has raked in $100 billion from selling Covid-19 vaccines and treatments to the US and foreign governments. The vaccine alone garnered global revenue exceeding $36 billion in 2021.
Pfizer’s move to hike up the cost of each Covid shot for the private health insurance market likely would not affect people with private insurance or those enrolled in the government healthcare programs Medicare and Medicaid. Health plans typically cover the costs of vaccines.
One symptom is frequently being reported by people who catch Covid-19 after being vaccinated. And it is being reported far more in people who are infected after receiving their booster jab than in unvaccinated people who test positive.
Vaccinations don't prevent people from catching Covid. But they they greatly reduce the severity of its impact. And one symptom appears to be sticking out like a sore thumb in those who have protected themselves from the worst of the virus by getting jabbed. Twitter is awash with stories from people reporting regular sneezing fits after testing positive for Covid once they've been vaccinated. One user going under the name of Illumiell posted: "I'm glad I got my Flu and Covid booster a month ago.
"This is literally exactly the timing which saved my a** from possibly a really bad time AGAIN. So far I only had sneezing, some fatigue, and now a sore throat that has been mild and rapidly diminishing."
Another user, iamofdaniel, wrote: "Lots of coughing and sneezing at the airport today. I’m glad I recently had covid plus got my updated booster and flu shots!"
But the reports aren't just anecdotal. Research from the ZOE Covid Study app, which records and analyses symptoms of the virus, also revealed sneezing bouts as a symptom almost exclusively found among people after they'd been vaccinated.
ZOE scientists noticed that people who had been jabbed and then tested positive for Covid-19 were "more likely" to report sneezing as a symptom compared with those without a jab. They wrote: "If you’ve been vaccinated and start sneezing a lot without an explanation, you should get a Covid test, especially if you are living or working around people who are at greater risk from the disease."
Sneezing is one way that viruses infect other people. The ZOE team added: "Try to cover all coughs and sneezes with tissue or the inside of your elbow to minimize the spread of droplets."
The advice went on: "Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth until you wash your hands. Sneezing a lot could be a potential sign that someone vaccinated has Covid-19 and, however mild, should take a test and self-isolate to protect their friends, family and colleagues."
The current ranking of Covid symptoms among people who have been vaccinated twice are: sore throat; runny nose; blocked nose; persistent cough; headache. Generally, similar symptoms of Covid-19 are being reported overall in the ZOE app by people who had and hadn’t been vaccinated.
However, fewer symptoms were reported over a shorter period of time by those who had already had a jab, suggesting that they were falling less seriously ill and getting better more quickly. The previous "traditional" symptoms as still outlined on the Government website, such as anosmia (loss of smell), shortness of breath and fever rank way down the list.
A persistent cough now ranks at number five if you’ve had two vaccine doses, so is no longer the top indicator of having Covid. It's perfectly natural for symptoms to change over the course of a pandemic.
As with all viruses, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus which causes Covid-19 is rapidly evolving both its ability to spread and infect people, as well as the symptoms it causes. There are a few reasons why symptoms may be changing, including the fact that those who have been vaccinated experience less severe symptoms, as well as more cases being reported by younger people, who we have found experience different, less severe symptoms as well.

Alberta’s Court of Appeal has upheld the requirement that eligible transplant recipients be vaccinated against Covid-19, saying the stipulation did not violate the charter rights of a woman who refused to get a dose. Annette Lewis filed a legal challenge against Alberta Health Services, doctors and a hospital earlier this year after she was unable to get a lifesaving organ transplant due to her unwillingness to be vaccinated.
"Being vaccinated against Covid-19 is a necessary component of proper medical care for individuals, including Ms. Lewis, who are seeking an (organ) transplant," the Court of Appeal ruled Tuesday.
There is a publication ban on the doctors' identities, the organ involved and the location of the transplant program.
Lewis was diagnosed with a terminal disease in 2018 and was told she would not survive unless she received an organ transplant.
She was placed on a transplant wait-list in 2020, but was informed a year later she would need to get the Covid-19 vaccine to receive an organ. "Taking this vaccine offends my conscience," Lewis said in an affidavit submitted to court. "I ought to have the choice about what goes into my body, and a lifesaving treatment cannot be denied to me because I chose not to take an experimental treatment for a condition — Covid-19 — which I do not have and which I may never have." Lewis argued the vaccine requirement violates her charter rights to life, conscience, liberty and security of the person.
The case was dismissed in Court of King's bench earlier this year with Justice Paul Belzil ruling that standard of care must be the same for all potential recipients or it could result in "medical chaos." Belzil said the charter has no application on clinical treatment decisions, in particular for doctors establishing preconditions for organ transplants.
The Court of Appeal agreed with Belzil, ruling the Covid-19 vaccine is part of the medical treatment for people seeking an organ transplant.
The ruling said Lewis's charter rights were not breached. She can refuse the vaccine, the ruling said, but there are consequences with that decision. A patient's decisions can result in serious risks or consequences, including death, but those are not caused by the health-care providers, the ruling said.
"We are deeply disappointed with today’s decision," Allison Pejovic, Lewis's lawyer, said in a news release from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.
“Ms. Lewis has fought against this discriminatory policy not only for herself, but for all transplant candidates who are similarly being discriminated against."
Pejovic said the group is reviewing the decision and will consider an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Alberta-based legal advocacy group has represented individuals, organizations and churches that are challenging Covid-19 public health orders and decisions across the country. Continue reading on www.kelownanow.com
In October 2021, Da’Vion Miller was found unconscious in the bathroom of his home in Detroit a week after receiving his first dose of Pfizer's Covid vaccine. He had known something was wrong: Then 22, he had started experiencing chest pain two days after getting vaccinated, followed by fatigue, shortness of breath and dizziness.
Miller was rushed to Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, where he was diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, an inflammation of the outer lining of the heart. His doctor advised him not to receive a second dose of either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccines.
“I was like, that’s crazy,” Miller said, noting that he knows the heart inflammation condition following vaccination is extremely rare.

Miller is one of many people in the United States who have experienced myocarditis following vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna Covid vaccines based on mRNA technology.
Myocarditis is a condition that has long been linked to a number of viral infections, including influenza, coxsackieviruses, as well as Covid. It has also been observed as an infrequent but worrisome side effect of the mRNA Covid vaccines. Are there long-term risks of myocarditis? Of the hundreds of millions of Covid vaccine doses given in the U.S. since late 2020, there have been around 1,000 reports of vaccine-related myocarditis or pericarditis in children under age 18, primarily young males, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of those who developed the condition have fully recovered, although research so far has only looked at how well they're doing after several months. Some doctors wonder if it can cause permanent damage to the heart.
Now, the first research in the U.S. is underway, tracking adverse health effects — if any — that may appear in the years following a diagnosis of vaccine-associated heart problems. Moderna has already launched two trials, the most recent in September. Pfizer confirmed that at least one of its trials, which will include up to 500 teens and young adults under age 21, is slated to begin in the next couple of months.
The Food and Drug Administration has required that the drugmakers conduct several studies assessing the potential long-term impacts of myocarditis, as part of its approval of the mRNA Covid vaccines in the U.S. Early findings from the research could be published as early as next year, sources told NBC News.
Some of the trials will follow those who developed the condition for as long as five years, according to the FDA’s approval letters. The trials will be monitoring for myocarditis and subclinical myocarditis, which doesn't cause symptoms.
The FDA declined to comment on Pfizer's and Moderna's studies because they are ongoing, but an agency official said the chance of having myocarditis occur following vaccination is "very low."
The condition does not lead to cardiac-related death, the official said, as claimed by Florida's surgeon general last month who cited an unpublished analysis of state data. What is known about myocarditis and vaccines? The vast majority of cases occur in young men, ages 16 to 24, according to the CDC. The agency did not have data available on the total number of cases in young adults 24 and younger, but it estimates there have been 52.4 cases and 56.3 cases per million doses of Pfizer's and Moderna's vaccines, respectively.
Symptoms of myocarditis include:
Chest pain Shortness of breath Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering or pounding heart
A study by Canadian researchers published Monday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that men younger than 40 who got the Moderna vaccine had the highest risk of heart issues, usually within 21 days after the second dose. The study was observational, meaning it doesn’t prove cause and effect but it is one of only a few studie...
In January, a four-year-old company with fewer than 200 employees announced the largest private round of fundraising for any biotechnology company in history: half a billion dollars in one fell swoop. The funding added to another half billion already in the young drugmaker’s coffers, complementing its series of deals with pharmaceutical giants AstraZeneca, Merck and Alexion. Even more remarkable: The technology is not even being tested in humans yet.
The company—founded by Flagship Ventures in 2011 by a team of scientific advisors from Harvard University and MIT— is Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Moderna Therapeutics. It’s working on what one biotech analyst called the Holy Grail in drug development—if it works. Moderna is focused on treating disease by delivering messenger RNA, or mRNA: the molecules that act as instructions for our cells to create proteins. “Because mRNA is nothing more than a copy of DNA, you could potentially make any protein you want, because the code is there,” said Noubar Afeyan, chief executive at Flagship Ventures and co-founder of Moderna, in an interview in Flagship’s Cambridge offices. He’s also chairman of Moderna, whose name, he said, comes from “modern RNA.” Moderna’s approach is both simple and audacious: simple in that it taps into the most foundational way our bodies work, aiming to deliver instruction manuals for our cells to churn out proteins to reverse all kinds of diseases—from diabetes and heart disease to different forms of cancer. It’s audacious because it’s never worked in humans.
Moderna now has 56 programs in preclinical testing; 29 are partnered with AstraZeneca and focused on cardiovascular disease and cancer, seven are being developed in collaboration with Alexion for rare diseases, and five are partnered with Merck on viral diseases. The company plans to start human trials of its first program, which it hasn’t disclosed, in the next 12 to 18 months. “The opportunity is just huge,” said Eric Schmidt, a biotechnology analyst at Cowen who covers Moderna’s partner Alexion. “There are so many things you can do if you very simply create cells that produce proteins from messenger RNA in the body.” The potential market size for Moderna is difficult to quantify, given the scope of what it’s addressing. The top-selling drug in the world last year was AbbVie’s Humira, for rheumatoid arthritis, in a class called monoclonal antibodies. Humira alone drew about $12 billion in 2014. Some have bet the market for drugs targeting RNA can surpass that of the dozens of monoclonal antibodies already on the market.
Understanding what Moderna’s working on requires a little bit of a science lesson. The central dogma of molecular biology, which governs the way our bodies function, tells us that: DNA contains genetic information which is then transcribed into instructions carried by messenger RNA to cells, that then churn out proteins.
Drug development has typically focused on the end of that process, targeting the proteins associated with disease. Work is also being done targeting DNA, trying to deliver healthy copies of genes to cells.
“In between those two is this giant gaping hole in terms of drugs, which is RNA,” Afeyan said.
That’s changed in the last few decades, as companies from Isis Pharmaceuticals to Alnylam Pharmaceuticals have made progress targeting RNA—and amassed market values of more than $16 billion combined. But their technologies, Afeyan explained, focus on blocking RNA’s ability to code for problematic proteins, whereas Moderna, through delivering messenger RNA, aims to enable the body to make any protein imaginable.
The problem, Afeyan said, has been that the body sees foreign mRNA as dangerous. So when it’s been delivered to cells, the body mounts an immune attack, similar to how it would react to a virus.
“People had tried [delivering mRNA for therapeutics uses] and failed, and they basically abandoned it 25, 30 years ago,” Afeyan said. Body,
Cases of myocarditis and pericarditis were higher with the Moderna vaccine in both males and females between the ages 18 and 39, according to new research. Widely considered “safe and effective”, Covid vac cines are the most potent weapon you can add to your arsenal of protection against coronavirus.
But just like any medication, Covid jabs are also linked to possible side and adverse effects.
While not everyone experiences unwanted effects, new research sheds light on which Covid shot is linked to the highest risk of heart inflammation.
There’s no doubt that all of the leading health bodies, including the NHS and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, agree that Covid jabs are not only safe but they also reduce your risk of serious illness and death from Covid-19.
What’s more, all of the approved vac cines have been through several stages of rigorous clinical trials before they were approved for use.
While they can cause certain side effects, just like any other medicine you take, not everyone develops them, the NHS explains.
One of the more daunting problems linked both to an ongoing Covid infection and the vac cine is heart inflammation.
Whether that’s inflammation of the heart muscle known as myocarditis, inflammation of the lining around your heart known as pericarditis or combination of both dubbed as myopericarditis.
Now, new research, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, found that the occurrence of these three conditions is “two- to threefold higher” after a second dose of the Moderna Spikevax Covid-19 vax compared to the Pfizer jab. The study also showed that males younger than 40 years old who received the Moderna jab seem to experience the highest rates of myocarditis.
The research team penned that this may have implications for choosing specific vaccines for certain populations.
A spokesperson for Moderna, said: “Myocarditis is a known and very rare risk associated with Covid-19 mRNA vaccines. When it does occur, cases are generally mild and resolve after a few days with treatment and rest. “Current evidence indicates that at a population level, the risk of myocarditis after Covid-19 infection is much higher than after Covid-19 vaccination. “mRNA-1273 has been administered to hundreds of millions of people worldwide and has been shown to be effective against both the original strain of the virus and its major variants.
“Regulatory agencies around the world have stated that the benefits of Covid-19 mRNA vac cines significantly outweigh the risk across all age groups.”
What did the study find? The study participants were 18 years old or older and had received their second dose of either Pfizer or Moderna vac cine in British Columbia, Canada, between January and September 2021.
In total, more than 2.2 million second Pfizer doses and more than 870,000 Moderna doses were administered.
Within 21 days of the second jab, there were a total of 59 myocarditis cases (21 Pfizer and 31 Moderna) and 41 pericarditis cases (21 Pfizer and 20 Moderna).
This data suggested that there is a “threefold” higher risk of heart inflammation after Moderna shots but overall cases of this condition with either vac cine are “very rare”.
Furthermore, the study also has some limitations as it was merely observational, which limits the ability to determine causality between the injection and the heart conditions.
A spokesperson for Moderna, added: “As noted by the lead author, the self-limiting and mild nature of most myocarditis events, benefits provided by vaccination, higher effectiveness of the Moderna vacc ine against infection and hospitalization [found in prior studies], and the apparent higher risk of myocarditis following Covid-19 infection than with mRNA vaccination, are key implications for consideration.
“Patient health and ensuring the safety of our vaccines is Moderna’s top priority.
“Moderna shares all adverse events data with regulators...
I can’t tell you how discouraged I’ve been coming across numerous health professionals and doctors in my personal life who are completely unaware of what, at least to them, should be basic Covid-19 vac cine facts. One example would be the fact that natural immunity provides a very robust and long lasting form of protection (perhaps for life) against Covid-19, even when compared to vac cine immunity. This is now firmly established in scientific literature.
Another would be the fact that Covid-19 vaccines don’t stop the transmission of the of virus. This was known from the very beginning, the shots were never tested or studied with regards to the ability to stop transmission in the first place, and throughout the pandemic some of the most highly vaccinated populations were experiencing the most outbreaks.
Despite this fact, many doctors told their patients to “do their part,” simply repeating the messaging we were subjected to by pharmaceutical companies, politicians, and countless advertisements on television and the radio.
There are several other concerns, like the fact that a doctor may be able to tell you that the vac cines’ contents remain in the shoulder muscle where they are injected, with some portion going to the draining lymph nodes where an immune response is initiated. But they wouldn’t be aware of the fact that mRNA vac- cines may actually spread throughout the body instead of staying at the injection site for some patients, and that there are several concerns with this.
They wouldn’t know or wouldn’t tell you that thousands of renowned academics, like a senior editor of the British Medical Journal has been raising concerns about Covid-19 vaccine safety, or that a number of CDC & FDA scientists have been shocked by the lack of data that has been the basis for the approval of these vac cines and do not agree with what’s happened.
They may even be completely unaware of the fact that a record number (several millions) of serious vax injuries, or at least what people believe to be injuries stemming from the vax, have been reported to jab injury surveillance systems from around the world.
A proper investigation into these claims has not been conducted, and the CDC or FDA has still not investigated the fraud that was publicized by the British Medical Journal during some of the Pfizer clinical trials.
The question is, why? The answer is simple. Doctors are not any more immune to propaganda than you and me. It’s something that has happened throughout history, and continues to happen today. Sometimes it feels like not only are we not learning from our mistakes, but they are in fact getting worse. The flip side, many doctors and scientists are aware Although it’s been discouraging to see your average doctor condemn and stigmatize those who chose and choose not be inoculated against Covid-19, it’s been extremely encouraging and uplifting to see tens of thousands raise awareness about the potential risks and at least acknowledge why so many people remain unvaccinated. “Political rhetoric has descended into moralizing, scapegoating, blaming and condescending language using pejorative terms and actively promoting stigma and discrimination as tools to increase vaccination… This has become socially acceptable among many vaccinated individuals and pro-vac cine groups as well as the public at large. The effect is to further polarize society – physically and psychologically – with limited discussion as to the reasons why people remain unvaccinated.“ There are a number of alliances of doctors and scientists that have been formed. Here in Canada, there is the Canadian Covid care alliance representing more than 600 academics, physicians and health care professionals.
The Great Barrington declaration had over 60,000 signatures from scientists and health care workers. These are a few of many examples, and it’s impressive given the fact that many of these professionals have been threatened by state legislatur...
Official figures published by the UK Government confirm 1 in every 310 people who received a third dose of the Covid-19 injection in England by 31st December 2021, sadly died within 48 days. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UK’s largest independent producer of official statistics and the recognised national statistical institute of the UK.
On 8th September 2022, the ONS published an unnoticed dataset titled ‘Characteristics associated with the risk of death involving coronavirus (Covid-19) among people receiving a booster vac cination, England: January to March 2022’, which can be downloaded here, and accessed on the ONS website here.
Table 1 of the ONS dataset reveals that between January and March 2022, 62,801 people who had received a third dose of the Covid-19 injection by 31st December 2021 had sadly died.
Source
The same dataset reveals that the average time between receiving a booster and the person losing their life was 48 days / 7 weeks.
Source
Of the 62,801 deaths, 4,781 were considered to be Covid-19 deaths.
Source
The dataset does not reveal how these figures compare to the unvaxxed, but another dataset published by the ONS on July 6th 2022, does.
The dataset, which can be downloaded here and accessed on the ONS website here, shows that between 1st January 2022 and 31st May 2022, the vaccinated population accounted for 9 in every 10 Covid-19 deaths, and 91% of those deaths were among the triple/quadruple vaccinated.
Source
According to the ONS, by 31st December 2021, 8,901,895 males and 10,671,705 females had received a third dose of the Covid-19 injection. Meaning 19,473,570 people had received the booster in total by this date.
Source
So based on the fact 62,801 triple- vaccinated people died within an average of 48 days, this equates to 1 in every 310 people who received a third dose of the Covid-19 injection in England by 31st December 2021, sadly dying within 7 weeks.
These figures do not take into account other factors such as age, but this is still a considerable difference and is most definitely concerning when we look at the actual mortality rates per 100,000 by vax status and age group.
We can find those figures in table 2 of the same ONS dataset on deaths by vaccination status.
The following two charts show the monthly age-standardised mortality rates by vaccination status for non-Covid-19 deaths in England between January and May 2022 for each age group –
Source
Source
The official figures unfortunately confirm that mortality rates per 100,000 are the lowest among the unvaxxed population in every single age group in England. And the data reveals the gap between the unvaccinated and vaccinated populations in terms of mortality rates is widening by the month.
These are age-standardised figures. There is no other conclusion that can be found for the fact mortality rates per 100,000 are the lowest among the unvac cinated other than that the Covid-19 injections are killing people.
This is sadly why 1 in every 310 people in England lost their lives between January and March 2022 within an average of 48 days of receiving a third dose of the Covid-19 injection.
It will only get worse over time as every single person that received these slow kill bioweapons now has VAIDS. And this cold and flu season will skew the above data to even higher mortality.
All VAIDS sufferers must at very least cycle Ivermectin, and take a daily nutraceutical that clear our the spike proteins, while inducing zinc ionophore activity, and raising cellular pH as both prophylactic and cure. Continue reading on 2ndsmartestguyintheworld.substack.com
Thirty-five percent (35%) of voters believe that most or just about all of the information released by the federal government during the pandemic was intentionally false and misleading. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that an additional 28% believe that some of the information was intentionally false and misleading. Eleven percent (11%) believe that only a little was intentionally misleading, and another 11% say none of it was. Methodology The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on October 27-29, 2022. Fieldwork for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 2.8 percentage points.

Cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point were given less than 12 hours Thursday in order to respond to the denials of their medical exemption requests of the Pentagon's Covid-19 mandate. Just The News reports despite the academy denying the appeals on Nov. 2, the cadets weren't notified until Thursday morning at 6:00 a.m., when they were given until 4:00 p.m. to decide whether to accept the vax shots.
In August, cadets were given 24 hours to decide if they would take the Covid vax after all Religious Accommodation Request appeals were denied by the academy.
The military academy's latest short-notice ultimatum to cadet vax objectors "is a continuation of what we've seen at West Point," military attorney R. Davis Younts told Just the News on Thursday. He noted that there now remain "only a few" of these cadets who haven't resigned and still want to push through the process. These cadets have a "strong desire to continue to serve" while also remaining "consistent in their faith," he added.
Younts explained to the outlet that even though several of the cadets are part of one of the lawsuits trying to get an injunction against the Army's jab mandate, they aren't protected yet.
The developmental counseling form that the cadets received warns: "You are hereby ordered to become fully vaxxed with a Covid-19 vac cine that has received full licensure from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is a lawful order. Failure to obey this order may result in punitive or adverse administrative action."
The form notes, "Be advised that continued conduct of this nature may result in administrative action to include your separation from the service."
"If you are involuntarily separated, you could receive an Honorable or General Under Honorable Conditions discharge," the form continues.
But it also warns, "If you receive a General Under Honorable Conditions discharge or an Other than Honorable discharge, you may be ineligible for many, if not all, veterans benefits, and you may face difficulty in obtaining civilian employment as employers may have a low regard for less than Honorable discharges."
But lawyers contend the FDA-approved versions of the vaxxines have reportedly not been made available to members of the military, Just The News reports. The military can only legally force service members to get the shot from the vac cine approved by the FDA.
The outlet noted only the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) vac cines have been made available to all service members. Both a Navy and an Air National Guard administrative separation board found the vac cine mandate unlawful due to the FDA-approved version of the vac cine being still unavailable.
CBN News has reached out to the United States Military Academy for comment. We'll post it here if we hear back.
As CBN News reported in October, Pentagon leaders admit a serious recruiting crisis threatens U.S. military readiness for decades to come. Yet, hundreds of service members continue to be discharged for objecting to the Covid-19 vac cine.
In a recent letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee demanded answers on the status of the military's vac cine mandate. They point out that members of the Armed Forces are now one of only a few groups left in the executive branch still subject to termination for failure to take the vac cine.
They also reference the following statement from President Biden during a recent 60 Minutes interview. "The pandemic is over. If you notice no one is wearing masks, everybody seems to be in pretty good shape," Biden said. Continue reading on www1.cbn.com
Britney Spears opened up on her health condition that she has incurable nerve damage on the right side of her body that causes pain and numbness. See Also: Brittany Just Shared What Getting the Vax was Really Like
The pop star took to her Instagram on Monday and shared a dance video and revealed that the nerve damage has affected her sleep, but dancing helps in reducing the pain. Spears wrote, "I'm dancing in time now Victoria ... yes ... nerve damage on the right side of my body ... there's no cure except God I guess ... nerve damage is caused sometimes when you don't get enough oxygen to your brain ... your brain literally shuts down. Nerve damage causes parts of your body to go numb."
The Criminal singer said that she wakes up “like three times a week in bed with my hands are completely numb” and feelings of “pins and needles” on the right side of her body that “shoots up to my neck and the part that hurts the worst is my temple… it stings and it’s scary.”
Posting the update alongside a video of herself dancing, she added that while there is “no cure” for her ailment, dancing helps alleviate the symptoms.
Spears added that the “the last three years since I got out of that place I’ve been in a mild unconscious state… I couldn’t face it”.
The reference to “that place” appears to relate to the medical facility Spears was placed in against her will in 2019.“It’s funny though - when I dance, I don’t feel the pain,” she continued.
She explained that she had found a “medication where I actually feel oxygen going to my brain and through my neck… my eyes are more open now and I can hold my head up correctly. Either way I’m getting a lot better, I can breathe…”
Spears concluded on stating that she was “gonna vacuum now!”. Continue reading on www.thenews.com.pk
Is this long covid or vax injuries that are becoming more prominent in the Australian health care system? Australia’s long Covid clinics are so under-resourced patients are waiting almost a year for treatment, as the Victorian government warns it will struggle to care for the growing number of patients without extra federal funding.
In a submission to a federal inquiry, the Victorian government revealed the first official modelling of long Covid, and said the disease affected 218,000 Victorians, of whom 41,000 had a severe form.

Doctors at long Covid clinics across Australia told The Age and the Herald they were unable to cope with the caseload. “We have been inundated – because of limited resources,” said Professor Steven Faux, co-lead of the long Covid clinic at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney. “We’ve only got capacity to open one day a week. We’ve not got the staff, we can’t get them. I can’t find physios, I can’t find psychologists.” St Vincent’s has an 11-month waitlist, as does the clinic at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. The Age and the Herald have learnt the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg is closing its clinic later this year after it ran out of funding.
“There are very limited resources and large demand,” said Associate Professor Lou Irving, head of the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s long Covid clinic. “[The resources available] is less support than they need.”
The situation is far worse in regional Australia. After seeing hundreds of patients, including many Indigenous Australians, left sickened for months by the virus, Dr Sumitha Gounden established a long Covid clinic in Orange. “There are no resources at all,” she said. “There’s no one, it’s only me.”
She is the only doctor consistently treating long Covid in her entire district of 276,000 people.
“I should not be covering the district,” she said. “These patients are CEOs, triathlon runners, business people – at the peak of their life, having long Covid, they are not able to function. I can’t dismiss them.”
Children seem at lower risk – but even with lower numbers the system is struggling.
“We don’t have ongoing funding for our clinic,” said Dr Shidan Tosif, a consultant paediatrician at the Royal Children’s Hospital’s long Covid clinic. “It impairs our capacity to support children – which is not how it should be.”
The barriers have left many with long Covid frustrated and desperate.
Karen Felder spent three months seeing doctors, none of whom could help. One hospital offered her exercise therapy, which she said she couldn’t do because she was bed-bound.
“There is no interest, no motivation, no focus from the government, no direction and no funding,” she said.

“I got to the point where I stopped seeing doctors. The gaslighting is incredible. It’s making me sicker, to get this pushback and to not be believed.”
Eventually, she was forced to seek treatment overseas at a private long Covid clinic in Britain. That country has spent almost $170 million on 89 national long Covid clinics.
The Australian government commissioned the parliamentary inquiry into long Covid in September and its findings will inform a national response.
“State and territory health departments have primary responsibility for the public health system,” the federal Health Department said in a statement. “Accordingly, the establishment of long Covid clinics are funded by state and territory governments.”
In its submission to the federal inquiry, the Victorian government called for increased federal health funding to “ensure adequate care for long Covid without negatively impacting other hospitalisation care needs”.
Victoria also called for a national commitment to prevent long Covid by reducing viral tra...
Many doctors now blame the myriad of debilitating conditions reported after Covid-19 infections and vaccinations on the spike proteins present in both the virus and after vaccination. Emerging research has found spike proteins present in various organs, often implicated in inflammation and damage of the surrounding tissues. Though there is research on the mechanisms of the spike proteins and hypotheses on how the proteins may interact with various aspects of the body, spike protein presence is difficult to test for.
This article aims to review the current limited research on spike protein accumulation both through infection and vaccine exposure, the places it can contact, and the pathologies it may lead to. Immune Cells Spike proteins have often been detected in immune cells taken from people who have been infected. A number of immune cells will periodically sample the environment around them, and it would therefore not be unusual to find spike proteins present in immune cells during infection or after vaccination.
However, in a study led by Dr. Bruce Patterson, CEO and founder of IncellDx, a company that diagnoses long Covid using blood tests, of patients who suffered from long Covid for over 15 months, 73 percent of them still had spike proteins present in their immune cells. Meanwhile, 91 percent of patients with severe and acute Covid had spike proteins in their immune cells.
Another study evaluating organ tissues obtained through autopsy found spike proteins present in the immune cells of individuals who died from Covid-19. Some of these immune cells died and had signs that they were trying to remove or recycle cellular materials; these all suggest a general toxicity from the spike protein. Lungs The lungs are a major site of injury following Covid-19 infection and are believed to be a highly susceptible organ.
Studies on autopsy samples from people who died several days or months following Covid-19 vaccination found strong spike protein presence in the lung cells of these individuals. The team led by German pathologist Dr. Arne Burkhardt found spike proteins in lung cells of a living person nine months after vaccination, with immune cells nearby, suggestive of possible immune action.
Studies on autopsy samples from people who have been infected found in the lungs severe inflammation, spike protein presence in cells, great immune presence, often accompanied with smaller areas for gas exchange, scarring, and thickening of the lung tissues. Oral and Nasal Cavity Studies have shown that the SARS-CoV-2 virus likely infects through the nasal and oral cavities.
Positive Covid tests often swab the nasal or the oral cavities for viral RNA or viral particles. SARS-CoV-2 viruses have been detected in samples of nasal cells by swabbing the area.
An autopsy study on 18 patients who died after Covid-19 infection found spike proteins in their salivary glands. The authors found spike proteins from the virus in both the cells of the glands and the saliva. They also found spike protein presence with inflammation and immune cell presence, and swelling in the salivary glands and scarring, all indicative of possible spike protein induced damage. Connective Tissue Connective tissue comprises blood, bone, and fat. Spike proteins have been found across all three areas. A 2021 study found spike proteins following vaccination could remain in the blood for up to 30 days after vaccination. These spike protein therefore pose risks for endothelial cells that line the blood vessels, and also present as a risk of blood clots due to the spike protein’s capability to bind to blood clotting proteins.
Staining in people who died from Covid-19 also detected SARS-CoV-2 viral protein presence in the bone marrow.
A study on autopsy samples taken from the chest region of 47 people who died following Covid-19 infection found spike proteins distributed within fat cells; fat cells also regulate the body’s metabolism,
There is an alarming rise in child hospitalizations worldwide. Children with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are overwhelming hospitals. Entire schools in Massachusetts, California, and Virginia are seeing almost half of their student body out sick. A children’s hospital in Connecticut and Pennsylvania even contacted FEMA to help set up an outdoor tent to handle the influx of patients.
This cold-like virus is extremely common. Usually, symptoms are mild, but if children have weakened immune systems, RSV can move from the upper to lower respiratory tract and cause severe infection.
The Journal of Infectious Diseases published a Study in 2018 from Oxford University titled Respiratory Syncytial Virus Seasonality: A Global Overview. They looked at over 20 years of RSV data from all over the world to determine the seasonality of RSV.
In the United States, there’s little or no RSV activity until November to December, then Peaks in January to February and goes back down to low RSV activity by April to May.
This is the way it was for decades. This started last year However, that seasonality all ended last year with spikes after March 2021 and then again in August. And they weren’t mild. Dr. Panda has charts on his substack you can check.
Dr. Panda asks, “Are the mRNA vaccinations causing this?” "There’s an 'unprecedented' rise in RSV cases among children in the US. I’ve been doing this a long time. I’ve been at Connecticut Children’s for 25 years, and I’ve never seen this level of surge specifically for RSV.” said hospital’s Executive Vice President and Physician-in-Chief. Moderna’s pediatric Covid-19 clinical trial EUA Memorandum found an increased RSV and upper respiratory infection rate among children that received the vaccine.
For 6 to 23-month-olds: “Within 28 days after vaccination, some respiratory tract-related infections were reported with greater frequency in the mRNA-1273 group compared to the placebo group, including croup, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and pneumonia. Events of croup were reported by 1.3% of mRNA-1273 recipients and 0.3% of placebo recipients, RSV by 0.8% of mRNA-1273 recipients and 0.5% of placebo recipients, and pneumonia by 0.2% of mRNA-1273 recipients and no placebo recipients.”
For 2 to 5-year-olds: “Within 28 days after vaccination, some respiratory tract-related infections were reported with greater frequency in the mRNA-1273 group than in the placebo group. Events of pneumonia were reported by 0.3% and 0% of mRNA- 1273 and placebo recipients, respectively. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection was reported by 0.4% and <0.1% of mRNA-1273 and placebo recipients, respectively.”
For 6 to 11-year-olds: “Within 28 days after vaccination, some respiratory tract infection-related PTs were reported more frequently in the vaccine group compared to the placebo group, such as Respiratory syncytial virus infection (0.3% vs. 0%) and Upper respiratory tract infection (3.9% vs. 2.5%). An analysis including all respiratory-tract infection-related PTs, except Covid-19, showed a small imbalance of 5.9% in the vaccine group compared to 4.4% in the placebo group.”
This translates to around four times the amount of RSV in the vaccinated group than in the placebo group.
Similar to Pfizer’s EUA Review Memorandum there is an increase in RSV cases in the vaccinated vs. the placebo.
For 6 to 23-month-olds: “SAEs reported in the BNT162b2 group included RSV bronchiolitis (5 participants)….SAEs reported in the placebo group included bronchiolitis or RSV bronchiolitis (3 participants)”
These results were only studied for 28 days. “Everything Pfizer and Moderna put out in their trial studies turn out to be SIGNIFICANTLY worse in the real world,” Dr. Panda says. And now it looks like Pfizer is about to roll out an RSV vaccine. They caused the illness and will now sell you the “cure.” Continue reading on www.independentsentinel.com
Yale University faculty and staff will not be mandated to get a second booster shot before returning for spring semester, Yale Daily News reported. To note, students – undergraduate, graduate, and professional students – will be required to get a second booster shot, the school announced Oct. 27. Students may seek exemptions on medical or religious grounds. “We are requiring students to receive the bivalent booster because their circumstances are somewhat different from those of faculty and staff, especially with regard to congregate housing and participation in large gatherings,” Yale President Dr. Peter Salovey said in an email. To be “up to date,” according to the CDC, one must receive a primary vaccine series along with the “bivalent” booster, where the new booster protects against both the original and several variant strains of Covid-19, which has changed over time. Only 5% of eligible Americans received a new booster shot by the end of October, according to Scientific American. “We are strongly encouraging faculty and staff to receive the bivalent booster, but are not changing the current vaccination requirements in place for faculty and staff,” University Covid-19 coordinator Stephanie Spangler said in an email. Last year, Yale Provost Dr. Scott Strobel said that Yale weighs legal questions surrounding personal choice and employee compliance along with employee responsibility to ensure community health. Yale also holds agreements with unions, making it more difficult to mandate such changes to university policy.
Faculty have voiced mixed reactions to the move.
Yale English professor Dr. Katie Trumpener, who is immunocompromised, said that she was aware of how crucial large-scale vaccination is to keeping people as safe as possible and that it would be optimal if everyone was up to date on the vaccines. Yet, she said she appreciated that the school made booster shots available to faculty and students early on during the pandemic. Continue reading on www.diverseeducation.com
After falling for two years in a row, the suicide rate in the United States went up in 2021 by 4 percent, according to the CDC. The total number of suicides in 2021 was 47,646, compared to 45,979 in 2020. Notably, the largest increase was in October of 2021, the month after President Joe Biden announced the OSHA vaccine mandate on companies with 100 or more employees. The number of suicides increased by 11 percent that month — 15 percent for males (!)
For females, suicides were highest in August, when they went up 15 percent compared to 2020. August is the month that most college/university vaccine mandates took effect, and right around the time many large companies were imposing vaccine mandates on employees.
For all of 2021, the highest increase in suicides was among males ages 15-24 — 8 percent more young males lost their lives to suicide last year than in 2020. A possible link to the vaccines should be investigated, and without delay.
An Oct. 30 article in Crossroads Report looked at a few of the 160 reports in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) that mention “suicide.”
Several of the reports describe a sudden and intense depression and thoughts of suicide following vaccination with one of the Covid-19 vaccines, most in people who have no history of depression.
Another look at reports in VAERS shows more of these — a sudden plunge into intense depression. In most cases, the depression clears within hours or days and the person returns to their normal state, almost as suddenly as they left it. But others don’t survive the episode.
Here are four cases clipped from VAERS:
The intense depression is often accompanied by physical symptoms like fatigue, pain, and sleeping difficulties:
In some cases, people report anxiety along with feeling “on the edge of suicide”:
In the case below, a woman in her 40s describes a migraine headache, insomnia, swelling and bruising through lymph nodes, hallucinations, and “uncontrollable feelings of rage” that led her to call a suicide hotline and then drive herself to the ER where she was given Ativan, the brand name of the drug Lorazepam, often used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders.
Most heartbreaking are the reports of young people trying to take their lives. Here’s one:
And here is the full report, below. The boy is just 14:
VAERS ID: 1350848-1 Patient Age: 14.00 Sex: Male State / Territory: Missouri Date Report Completed: 2021-05-26 Date Vaccinated: 2021-05-17 Date Report Received: 2021-05-26 Date of Onset: 2021-05-19 Days to onset: 2 Death: No Life Threatening: Yes Vaccine Type: Covid19 PFIZER-BIONTECH Symptom: IRRITABILITY, MOOD ALTERED, SUICIDE ATTEMPT
Adverse Event Description: 1-2 days after administration of vaccine, the patient had a week-long episode of moodiness and irritability. This culminated in a suicide attempt by hanging in his bedroom that was interrupted by his father. There is no prior history of suicide attempts and no other clear, identifiable triggers to this incident. After 7 days, the patient returned to his previous baseline of mood.
The boy had never attempted suicide before, and there was no other trigger — only the vaccine. After a week, he returned to normal.
Is the CDC investigating this case?
Are they investigating any of these? We don’t know.
In the first case below, a young female is committed to a psychiatric hospital after her diary entries turned “increasingly dark” after getting the Pfizer vaccine on September 1, 2021 (the report says 2020, but this is not possible as the vaccines were only introduced in mid-December of 2020, so I’m assuming they meant 2021.)
The second one above is a male college student who was also taken to a mental hospital and ended up having to drop out of college for the semester.
The third mentions a total “mental breakdown” lasting four hours.
In these next two, below, we see a suicide attempt in a young woman,
Confidence in vaccines has declined "significantly" since the start of the Covid pandemic, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Portsmouth carried out two anonymous surveys in the winters of 2019 and 2022 to gauge people's attitudes to vaccinations and to look at what factors cause hesitancy and refusal. After questioning more than 1,000 adults, they found that the post-pandemic group was considerably less confident in vaccines than the pre-pandemic group.
The paper, published in the medical journal Vaccine, showed a fall in confidence in nearly one in four participants since 2020, regardless of their age, gender, religious belief, education or ethnicity.
Dr Alessandro Siani, associate head of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Portsmouth, said: "While vaccine hesitancy is not a new phenomenon, Covid-19 vaccines have been met with particular hostility despite the overwhelming scientific evidence of their safety and effectiveness.
Feb 2021: Why the vaccine hesitancy among BAME Britons?
"This isn't just among conspiracy theorists though, but also those who don't consider themselves 'anti-vaxxers' and had supported other vaccination campaigns in the past."
Participants were asked how much they agreed with statements including "Vaccines are safe", "I think vaccines should be a compulsory practice", "I believe if I get vaccinated it would benefit the wellbeing of others" and "Vaccines are a necessity for our health and wellbeing". More on Covid-19 In both surveys participants who held religious beliefs were significantly more vaccine-hesitant than atheist and agnostic ones, and individuals from black and Asian backgrounds were more hesitant than those of white ethnicities.
However, the researchers say that gender showed no association with vaccine confidence. Disparity between young and old A university spokesman said: "While these overall trends remained largely similar between the two surveys, some noteworthy changes were observed in the post-pandemic survey. "For example, the analysis revealed that while in 2019 middle-aged participants were considerably more apprehensive about getting vaccinated than younger groups, this was not the case in the 2022 survey." Dr Siani added: "This could be because Covid-19 infections notoriously lead to more severe outcomes in older patients.
"Young people who are infected rarely experience severe symptoms that lead to hospitalization and death, so it's possible that many have become complacent and don't feel the need to get vaccinated.
"On the other hand, older people may have been more wary of the consequences of the infection, and more appreciative of the protection offered by the vaccine." Study limitations Dr Siani said the analysis of the results was limited as different groups of people were sampled for the two surveys.
He said: "We didn't expect a worldwide pandemic to break out only a few months after carrying out the 2019 survey.
"Because our findings don't reflect the changing opinions of the same group of people over time, but rather a comparison of responses provided by two different cohorts, they should be interpreted with a grain of salt.
"However, the study is consistent with other observations suggesting that vaccine confidence may be yet another victim of the Covid-19 pandemic." Continue reading on news.sky.com
For anyone who’s been censored, dismissed, mocked, and trashed for opposing the initial, conventional wisdom on the coronavirus pandemic, CBS Mornings brought about some schadenfreude as co-host Tony Dokoupil went to Florida and found that Governor Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) policies on the virus were not only popular, but even admitted that he might have been right. Dokoupil said on one of two teases that Covid-19 “hit Florida hard, but Governor Ron DeSantis says he took the right approach for the state’s economy,” adding he would “show how pandemic politics are playing into the race for governor.”
He explained at the onset that “we are going to begin this hour with the legacy of Covid” as Florida “had the 12th highest death rate in the country, 382 fatalities for every 100,000 people, according to the CDC” while, “at the same time, Governor Ron DeSantis says he was right to reopen the state’s economy and remove restrictions long before many of his more cautious peers.”
“So now voters get to decide which approach they want to reward, the one in Florida and also beyond. For a moment in early 2020, every governor in America seemed to be saying the same thing,” he added.
But during those few weeks (or months for some), there was a reality of closed “schools and squeezing people’s ability to make a living,” including people such as Hialeah, Florida gym owner Eddie Morris, who told Dokoupil “[i]t was horrible” and he questioned whether he’d survive. Asked what would happen if their gym was in New York, Morris said he’d “be washed out.”
Enter in DeSantis’s reopening strategy: As frustration mounted, blue state governors stayed cautious, committed to following federal guidance, while Republicans like Governor Ron DeSantis went on to defy it... lifting stay-at-home orders, reopening schools for in-person learning and dropping mask mandates sometimes months before the CDC considered it wise. Prior to clips trashing him from MSNBC’s Vin Gupta and CNN’s Erin Burnett, Dokoupil stated that, “for Ron DeSantis, it meant reinvention as a national hero to some and a national target to others.”
Dokoupil then posed the question of whether he was right to CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Agus, who offered responses that came off like he was straining to avoid saying DeSantis was correct (click “expand”):
DOKOUPIL: So more than two years later, a question: Who was right?
DESANTIS [on 01/11/22]: We were right and they were wrong, and millions of families in Florida are better for it.
DOKOUPIL [TO AGUS]: Is Ron DeSantis right?
AGUS: No.
DOKOUPIL: Dr. David Agus is a CBS News Medical contributor.
AGUS: I can’t say one right one wrong and that’s part of the problem. It’s not a binary black/white issue.
DOKOUPIL: One study tried to compare all of it, taking into consideration the economy, education, and public health. A final report card written in part by researchers from right-leaning organizations did give Florida an A while California and New York got failing grades. But another study in the journal Nature notes a problem, weighing “harms and benefits often comes down not to scientific calculations, but to value judgments.”
AGUS: Masks work in the right setting. Shutdowns work in the right setting. And that being said, in the wrong setting, they have very little role and so you cannot be absolute about them.
DOKOUPIL [TO AGUS]: Does Governor Ron DeSantis deserve credit for any part of his Covid policy that you’ve seen?
AGUS: I think he did provide leadership and you know, I respect that part of it and I give him credit for that.
Cutting deeper, Florida International University’s Dario Moreno said DeSantis “caught a mood in Florida that worked very much to his advantage” that Dokoupil diagnosed as “reopening in a state that practically runs on tourism and the service industry” that “actually put [him] in a stronger position today than when he first campaigned” in 2018.
As a result,
A massive global pandemic data reporting scandal has been exposed after a bombshell report shows that almost 40 percent of all recorded “Covid-related deaths” were fraudulent. Government data officials in Finland have uncovered evidence that state agencies around the world provided fabricated data while reporting the numbers of their Covid deaths during the pandemic.
The explosive report, conducted by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), reveals that public health agencies around the world submitted false data to overhype “Covid-related deaths.”
THL is a government research and development institute operating under Finland’s Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.
According to Sirkka Goebeler, chief specialist at the THL, the reporting fraud appears to have been committed in order to drive mass hysteria and garner support for unpopular measures, such as lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
Goebeler warns that Covid-19 has not been the actual cause of death in up to 40 percent of fatalities attributed to the illness.
As a result of the findings, the Finnish government will block those fatalities from being recorded as coronavirus deaths in Statistics Finland’s official data.
As the Finnish report states, “Goebeler’s unit examines all Finnish death certificates before they are forwarded to the state statistics bureau.
“The unit focuses on coronavirus-related death certificates where the attending physician has listed Covid as either the primary or a contributing cause of death.”
“The THL tally of Covid-related deaths stood at 6,407 on Tuesday – but that figure includes all deaths that have occurred within 30 days of a positive coronavirus test,” the report continued.
“According to Goebeler, in nearly 4,000 of these cases, Covid is listed as the primary or immediate cause of death.
“In almost 1,600 cases, coronavirus is listed as a contributing factor.” “In approximately 900 cases initially recorded as Covid-related deaths, the actual death certificates do not contain any indication of coronavirus infection at all,” the report added. The Finnish report further substantiates the complaints of statistical analysts and public health experts that there was a failure to differentiate between deaths from Covid and deaths with Covid during the pandemic. There is evidence that in the United States the conflation was deliberate in order to drive and perpetuate a state of public alarm.
The most obvious red flags were that approximately 95% of Covid mortalities had multiple serious comorbidities and the average age of death was around life expectancy.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics show that 95% of Covid-related deaths list an average of 4 comorbidities.
Meanwhile, 5 percent have Covid-19 listed as the only known cause of death.
Such comorbidities include cardiovascular disease (10.5%), diabetes (7.3%), and cancer (5.6%).
The average age of Covid-related death is 77 years old.
Even with the massive conflation, now being corrected in Finland, Covid-related deaths stand at just 0.084% of the world population.
The number is relatively mild in comparison to other major global pandemics.
Finland’s statisticians explained why the commonplace official manner of reporting on Covid deaths was highly flawed.
“Figures that end up as part of international comparisons may include, for instance, cases where a patient had a serious heart attack before or after being infected with coronavirus, and eventually dies due to heart failure,” the report notes.
“The accompanying Covid illness may be very mild, and therefore not listed as the cause of death.”
In the early stages of the pandemic, the metric based on the 30-day time frame was more useful, according to Goebeler.
Even then, there were relatively few false positives.
The median age of those who have died after positive coronavirus tests has risen since last spring from 84 to 85.
Why do some people report adverse events after Covid-19 vaccinations while some do not? This question is central to the controversy of Covid-19 vaccine adverse events.
Doctors have identified several factors that contribute to an increased risk of spike protein-induced disease, specifically, post Covid-19 vaccine injury.
Dr. Paul Marik, Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) co-founder, said at an FLCCC conference on Oct. 15 that long Covid and injury from the Covid-19 vaccines share many overlaps in their symptoms and mechanisms.
Both diseases are systemic, affecting multiple organs and tissues, and are both driven by a high load of spike protein accumulated in these organs and tissues.
These spike proteins trigger inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and autoimmunity.
However, not everyone will experience these symptoms.
Whether a person will suffer from vaccine injuries is dependent on both permanent factors and temporal factors impacted by actions and choices. Spike protein exposure increases risk, severity The best way to reduce spike protein injuries is to reduce opportunities of spike protein exposure through infections or vaccinations.
While early treatment can usually prevent spike protein injury by quickly clearing the infection, a vaccine administer spike protein genetic material into the muscles and blood vessels.
There is a dose response with the vaccine, such that the greater the number of vaccine doses, the higher the risk of spike protein injury. “The more the patients are exposed to spike [proteins], the more severe the disease,” said Marik. Both long Covid and injury from Covid-19 vaccines are driven by prolonged exposure to spike proteins through infection and vaccination respectively, he explained.
Dr. Flavio Cadegianni hypothesized that receiving Covid-19 vaccines after having had Covid-19 increases one’s risk of spike protein injury.
This is because vaccines likely trigger a higher amount of spike protein load in the bloodstream than a common Covid-19 infection.
In a common Covid-19 infection, it is difficult for the virus to enter the bloodstream through the lungs, but the vaccination gives spike protein mRNA and DNA a one-way ticket into the deltoid and then into the bloodstream.
The mRNA and DNA vaccines then enter the blood vessels and endothelial cells, these cells then produce spike proteins and present them on their cellular surface, resulting in an immune attack against these cells.
Spike proteins from vaccines can also be free-floating in the bloodstream and the extracellular fluid.
These spike proteins can trigger inflammatory pathways by binding to and reducing ACE2 receptors, forming complexes with antibodies and affecting immune pathways, leading to pro-inflammatory responses.
Spike proteins from vaccination have been observed to be present even at nine months following vaccination, so subsequent shots and boosters could lead to more spike protein production, increased inflammatory complexes formation and higher risk of symptom onset.
Dr. Pierre Kory, co-founder of FLCCC, who now has a clinic for treating long Covid and vaccine injury, said that he noticed his patients with either of these conditions would appear to worsen with subsequent spike exposures.
He said he recommended his long-haul and vaccine-injured patients to therefore avoid opportunities that may lead to spike protein exposure lest their symptoms go out of control. Varied loads in vaccines Not all vaccine vials are made the same.
How Bad is My Batch is a website that compiles data on adverse events from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) on Covid-19 vaccination.
By separating each adverse event into its corresponding vaccine batch, the website has shown that some vials were made different from others, as they are associated with a greater number of adverse events, deaths and disabilities.
It’s the moment we all knew was coming. A Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions Minority Oversight Staff interim report from October 27, 2022 titled “An Analysis of the Origins of the Covid19 Pandemic” has revealed that the origins of Covid were more likely based in a lab as part of a “research related incident” and not zoonotic.
The report was the result of a “bipartisan Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee oversight effort into the origins of SARS-CoV-2”. It provides a lengthy analysis that reviews “publicly available, open-source information to examine the two prevailing theories of origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus”.
Among other conclusions, the report notes: “While precedent of previous outbreaks of human infections from contact with animals favors the hypothesis that a natural zoonotic spillover is responsible for the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 that resulted in the Covid-19 pandemic was most likely the result of a research-related incident.”
In other words, all of us “conspiracy theorists” floating the idea of a lab leak just because of the totally coincidental fact that the virus showed up on a virology lab’s doorstep, have now been validated by the U.S. Senate.
In a section titled “Problems with the Natural Zoonotic Hypothesis”, the report says:
“Based on precedent and genomics, the most likely scenario for a zoonotic origin of the Covid-19 pandemic is that SARS-CoV-2 crossed over the species barrier from an intermediate host to humans. However, the available evidence is also consistent, perhaps more so, with a direct bat-to-human spillover. Both scenarios remain plausible and, in the absence of additional information, should be considered equally valid hypotheses.
However, nearly three years after the Covid-19 pandemic began, critical evidence that would prove that the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and resulting Covid-19 pandemic was caused by a natural zoonotic spillover is missing.”
Then, in the report’s conclusion, it states: “Based on the analysis of the publicly available information, it appears reasonable to conclude that the Covid-19 pandemic was, more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident. New information, made publicly available and independently verifiable, could change this assessment. However, the hypothesis of a natural zoonotic origin no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt, or the presumption of accuracy.” The report was signed off on by Richard Burr, United States Senator and Ranking Member, U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Regarding the report’s research process, Burr wrote:
“Over the last fifteen months, HELP Committee Minority oversight staff carefully reviewed several hundred publicly available scientific studies, interviewed several dozen subject matter experts, and analyzed previous reports and studies on the possible origins of the virus. I believe that this report provides a significant contribution to the existing body of evidence and helps establish parameters for how future analyses should be reviewed.”
And for the icing on the cake, just weeks ago Taiwan also concluded that the virus likely did not come from the Wuhan wet markets. The country’s Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said in late September, in a revelation that went mostly unnoticed by the mainstream media, that “it does not believe the wet market to be the source of the Covid pandemic and suggested that a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan is a possibility.” "Our speculation is we think the Wuhan Huanan wet market is not the origin. [The market is] probably just a very important step in the transmission chain. The origin is somewhere else,” said Philip Lo, deputy head of the CECC's medical response division, Taiwan News reported. "Maybe it's still in Wuhan, for example, the laboratory…we don't have proof, solid evidence," Lo continued.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccination advisors voted last week to recommend all children get the Covid-19 vaccine, a move that does not change California’s list of vaccines required for children to attend school. The addition of the Covid-19 vaccine to the CDC’s recommended vaccines for kids is not a mandate for states’ school attendance requirements. Any additions to California’s list must be made by the state Legislature or the state Department of Public Health. In the last 12 months, the Newsom administration and the Legislature separately tried to mandate the Covid-19 vaccine for kids to attend school, and both failed.
People involved in those efforts said they do not expect the Legislature to consider a mandate for children again next year, barring a big spike in hospitalizations or deaths. “Our goal should be getting the immunization rate up,” said Sen. Richard Pan, a pediatrician Sacramento Democrat, whose bill last session would have mandated the vaccine for children to attend school, with only a medical exemption. “We have work to do on outreach, making sure people have access and educating people about the vaccine.” Since the federal government approved vaccines for children on an emergency use basis, children have received the Covid-19 vaccine at much lower rates than adults. So far, 67% of 12-to-17-year-olds have received the first series of the vaccine, 38% of children 5 to 11 have received the first series and of those under 5 years of age, 5% have received the shots, according to state data.
The state Department of Public Health refused to say whether it plans to add the vaccine to the required list. Instead the agency referred to its previous statement from April in an email: “…upon full approval by the FDA, CDPH will consider the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians prior to considering a school vaccine requirement.” The role of the Centers for Disease Control It suggests that children ages 6 months and older receive a vaccination for Covid-19 with shots approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or approved for emergency use.
“It’s a step in the right direction for protecting the public’s health but I understand there is a lot of anxiety about vaccines in general and the Covid-19 vaccine,” said Dr. Alice Kuo, professor and chief of the Pediatrics/Preventative Medicine Division at UCLA. “It’s one step at a time.”
Dr. Naomi Bardach, a professor of pediatrics at the UCSF School of Medicine, said the CDC recommendation is a sign that Covid-19 is here to stay. She said the addition of the vaccine to the childhood schedule also normalizes the vaccine because pediatricians’ offices that already use the CDC’s list as guidance will fold the Covid-19 vaccine into patient care.
Under state law, children must receive a series of shots for 10 diseases to attend child care centers, family child care homes, preschool and kindergarten through 12th grade. If children are not vaccinated or are behind based on the state’s schedule, they can be barred from school until they receive their shots.
Infants are given their first vaccine before they are an hour old and the shots continue through adolescence. Most of the vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control are required by California to attend school. They are: diphtheria, hepatitis B, haemophilus influenza type b, measles, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough), poliomyelitis, rubella, tetanus and varicella (chicken pox).
Prior to 2016 parents were able to opt out of vaccines for their children through a personal belief exemption. Sen. Pan authored the controversial law that eliminated the personal belief exemption for vaccines on the state’s list and left only medical exemptions that must be signed off by a physician. At that time,
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials were alerted that they spread misinformation about child Covid-19 deaths but still did not issue corrections, according to emails obtained by The Epoch Times. Drs. Katherine Fleming-Dutra and Sara Oliver were told within days of presenting to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, in June that statistics from a preprint study they shared were wrong, the emails show. But after internal discussion about how to respond, neither the CDC nor the officials corrected the false information.
Fleming-Dutra and Oliver both referenced the study, which has not been peer reviewed, while the CDC’s advisers weighed whether to recommend the agency grant emergency authorization for Covid-19 vaccines for babies and toddlers.
The committee ultimately recommended the CDC authorize Pfizer and Moderna shots for children as young as 6 months of age and the CDC quickly accepted the recommendation.
A week later, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky appeared to cite the false statistics while urging parents to get their children vaccinated, despite no evidence the vaccines protect against severe illness and despite the clinical trials returning substandard or unreliable results for shielding against infection.
Kelley Krohnert, a citizen researcher and mother who flagged the preprint, triggered the internal discussions among CDC officials, according to the emails. When Krohnert pointed Fleming-Dutra to a blog post that detailed the issues with the study, Fleming-Dutra sent the email to others, including Oliver.
“I am not sure who this should go through. Let me know what I need to do,” Fleming-Dutra said.
Megan Freedman, a CDC health communications specialist, looped in a CDC spokeswoman, and they informed Fleming-Dutra that she and other subject matter experts “would need to determine if there’s any validity to the complaint.” If the complaint was deemed valid, possible next steps might include pulling the slide or adding a footnote, Freedman said.
Oliver jumped in, saying that Krohnert “appears [redacted], but there are my thoughts.” Her thoughts were redacted.
“I’m sure you guys can make it sound prettier, but something like this would be how I would respond,” Oliver said. “And the general sentiment that ‘even 1 death from Covid that’s preventable is too many, regardless of how you count them.'”
There’s no evidence any of the Covid-19 vaccines prevent death for small children.
“Love it – thank you for sending!!!” Freedman said. Separate Exchanges A separate thread started after the Washington Post forwarded Krohnert’s email over a Post article that said Covid-19 is “a leading cause of death” among children. The article still links to Fleming-Dutra’s slide, which in turn referenced the preprint.
Kristen Nordlund, a CDC spokesperson, sent the email to Fleming-Dutra, who forwarded it to Oliver.
“Kristen: [redacted]. Hope that helps?” Oliver replied.
“Thanks Sara! [redacted]. And really, I think the bottom line (which lots of ACIP members said today) is any death in a child (regardless of where it ranks on a list) is one too many,” Nordlund replied.
Dr. Jeffrey Duchin, health officer in Washington state’s Seattle and King counties, sent a link to Krohnert’s blog post to Oliver, Fleming-Dutra, and two CDC advisers, Drs. Matthew Daley—who also shared the misinformation—and Grace Lee.
“Great work today, as always. No doubt you’ve seen this and similar critiques of the mortality data presented. Will there be a response from CDC?” Duchin asked. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
For the second time in a week, top scientists have reported that “Omicron specific” Covid mRNA boosters are a $5 billion taxpayer-financed marketing gimmick. The new shots work no better than the original mRNA shots to produce antibodies specifically targeting the Omicron variant.
And the Omicron shots are even WORSE than the original boosters in producing T-cells that target Omicron, according to the researchers, part of a group led by Dr. Dan Barouch, a highly respected virologist. This finding is of particular concern because T-cells, the second line of the immune system, keep infections from becoming too severe.
—
Boosters using the original mRNA formulation have been largely phased out, because - as public health bureaucrats now admit - they stop working against Omicron infection within weeks. In fact, real-world data from many countries suggest they increase the risk of infection within months.
The “Omicron-specific” boosters were supposed to solve that problem. Regulators approved them in August, despite a lack of any clinical trial evidence they reduced coronavirus infections or serious cases of Covid in people. The Federal government agreed to pay Pfizer and Moderna $5 billion for 171 million doses of them.
But both Dr. Barouch’s study and another last week from Dr. David Ho, another top virologist, found that Omicron-specific boosters work no better than the original boosters against Omicron. Both studies showed the antibodies our immune systems produce after the Omicron shot are more effective against the original and now essentially extinct version of Sars-Cov-2 than against Omicron variants.
This phenomenon is called “original antigenic sin” or “immune imprinting,” and can occur after any vaccination - or infection. But the mRNA shots appear particularly likely to cause it, probably because they stimulate such high levels of anti-spike antibodies when they are first given.
The findings help explain why so many people, including Centers for Disease Control director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, have recently tested positive shortly after being boosted.
But Dr. Barouch’s group went further than Dr. Ho’s, examining T-cells as well. It found the same problem; following both the Omicron and the old booster, T-cells focused much more on the original Sars-Cov-2 than Omicron variants.
T-cells are a crucial second line of immune defense, helping the body keep infections from becoming too severe. Because Omicron is not very dangerous to most people, so a weak T-cell response does not matter much against it. But if a future Sars-Cov-2 variant is more dangerous, the relative lack of a T-cell response could put vaccinated people may be at serious risk.
(Bivalent is a fancy word for “Omicron-specific.” Except the Omicron-specific booster isn’t Omicron-specific at all, which is why T-cells targeting Omicron hardly rise at all following the bivalent booster, while they more than double after the original booster.)
As the researchers concluded: Our findings suggest that immune imprinting by prior antigenic exposure may pose a greater challenge than currently appreciated for inducing robust immunity to SARS-CoV-2 variants. Such a polite way to say, we gave a billion-plus people mRNA shots that probably opened them to future Sars-Cov-2 infections forever.
No worries! Lessons learned and all that. Continue reading on alexberenson.substack.com
Dr. Flavio Cadegiani, a Brazilian endocrinologist, suspects that the worst has yet to come for spike protein-induced diseases in the endocrine system. The endocrine system, colloquially known as the hormone system, is critical for our health. It regulates growth and development, mood, metabolism, reproduction, immunity, and functions of other organs through the secretion of hormones.
Hormones are one of the three biggest messengers in the body. Compared to the two other messengers—neurotransmitters and cytokines—hormones are slower in responding, and have systemic functions across the body rather than localized actions.
While cells can usually respond to neurotransmitters in milliseconds and cytokines in minutes to hours, cells that respond to hormones can take hours or even weeks.
Since hormones can have slow and systemic actions, a dysfunctional or damaged endocrine system will generally be slow in its symptom onset and recovery.
Studies have shown that spike proteins from Covid-19 infection and the vaccines can damage endocrine glands, including pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, as well as reproductive organs, and many more.
Cadegiani raised a concern that the slower onset of endocrine pathologies may pose difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. Depletion of Hormonal Reserves Endocrine pathologies can take longer to become apparent because endocrine glands have “reserves,” according to Cadegiani.
“What we’re going to see in the future [for endocrine diseases] is a little bit different from the other fields, because glands have reserves and the decrease of the reserve will not be clinically seen right now, but it may be in the future,” said Cadegiani at a Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) conference in Kissimmee, Florida.
Therefore, affected individuals may show no symptoms until their reserves have been depleted.
Cadegiani said that most of his concerns for the future are speculative and based his own clinical observations. But since the pandemic and the administration of Covid-19 vaccines began, there have been increasing reports that implicate endocrine pathologies.
Hormonal Axis and Systemic Dysfunction Hormones regulate the entire body, so once the reserved are depleted and underlying endocrine pathologies are unmasked, there may be cases of systemic dysregulations.
Endocrine glands control the function of many organs across the body, and each endocrine organ is also connected through a feedback loop, also known as a hormonal axis.
At the top of this chain is the hypothalamus, which is a diamond structure in the brain and acts as a master switchboard. It sends messages to the pituitary glands, a small, oval structure tucked behind the nose.
The pituitary gland is colloquially known as the master gland; it regulates other endocrine organs, together with the hypothalamus forming hormonal axes.
The pituitary gland is part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis which regulates the reproductive organs including the ovaries and the testes. In females, it is responsible for regulating the release of ovarian hormones as part of the menstrual cycle, and in males the axis regulates spermatogenesis.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is a neuroendocrine axis that mediates the adrenal glands, an organ that produce hormones that trigger the fight or flight response. The fight or flight process is a stress response that occurs in response to harmful threats, and can reduce metabolism, suppress immune, as well as activate the sympathetic nervous system.
Another major axis is the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. This regulates the thyroids and the hormones it secretes. Thyroid hormones are essential for biological functions of growth, regulation of the cardiovascular system, bone replacement, liver function, and metabolism. How Spike Proteins Target the Endocrine System The spike protein is the most toxic part of the SARS-CoV-...
Julie Powell, a bestselling author who chronicled her efforts to prepare every recipe in Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” which later inspired the movie “Julie & Julia,” died Oct. 26 at her home in New York. She was 49.
Her death was confirmed to the New York Times by her husband, Eric Powell, who said the cause was cardiac arrest.
Powell’s book was turned into a 2009 film directed by Nora Ephron, with Meryl Streep playing Julia Child and Amy Adams in the role of Powell herself.
CNN has reached out to the influential food writer’s publisher for comment.
“Julie & Julia” began as a blog on Salon.com in which Powell, seeking an outlet from her humdrum life as a temp in downtown Manhattan soon after 9/11, embarked on a home-cooking odyssey to successfully pull off all 524 recipes in Child’s classic French cookbook over the course of one year in her small Astoria, Queens kitchen.
The resulting memoir, “Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen,” came after the blog gained a loyal following that was eager to share in Powell’s successes and failures as she endeavored to prepare challenging dishes like Boeuf Bourguignon and a deboned duck for Canard en Croûte.
Since the success of that bestselling book, Powell went on to write one more in 2009, “Cleaving: a Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession.”
More recently, she returned to Salon earlier this year to write a series of commentary pieces about the Food Network series “The Julia Child Challenge.”

VIBUK member Adrian Walker, a married father of two and a grandad from Grantham, was a very fit, healthy and active 47-year-old man. He was looking forward to life returning to some normality following Covid-19 and the lockdowns. Now that a Covid-19 vaccine had been authorized and had been hailed as ‘safe and effective’, life was looking good and finally Adrian’s active lifestyle could return to normal. He had been a sub-four-hour marathon runner, his park-run (5km) personal best was 21 minutes and six seconds and he was a former semiprofessional football referee.
He was also a run leader for Grantham running club where he would lead groups of runners, help with training plans and motivate people to start and complete ‘Couch to 5K’ courses who would then often ask about running further. He would then help to deliver a course within the club called ’10 Weeks to 10K’. He was well known in the local community for his hard work and dedication.
Adrian was a self-employed taxi driver and courier. He would transport vulnerable children to and from specialized schools. All the staff were to be offered their vaccines earlier than the rest of their age group and when his turn came Adrian took up the offer; this turned out to be the biggest mistake of his life.
When Adrian had his AstraZeneca vaccine he was not worried about catching Covid himself: he was very fit and healthy, a non-smoker with no previous health issues. He only had his vaccine because the Government were constantly saying: ‘Stop the spread, protect others.’
Adrian had his AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine on February 16th 2021 (batch number AB0012).
Soon after the vaccination, Adrian started to feel flu-like symptoms, but he was not overly concerned as these symptoms seemed to be what people were saying were normal. He gradually got worse, but put it down to the time of the year. Then his body started to ache all over, he was very weak and started to develop chest pains. His symptoms worsened and 13 days after the injection Adrian was admitted to Lincoln hospital on March 1st 2021, where he remained for 34 days. Initial blood tests revealed critical results. His platelet levels had dropped low and his D-dimer levels soared. Scans then revealed multiple clots in his lungs and the portal vein from his bowel.
Initially doctors were very skeptical that a vaccine we were all urged to take could lead to him being in a potentially life-threatening condition. At this point he was oblivious to how severely ill he was; he just thought that the doctors would soon make him better and he would be home in no time at all.
During his time in hospital he was eventually diagnosed with vaccine induced immune thrombosis thrombocytopenia (VITT), a newly identified condition not known before the Covid-19 vaccine. In early 2021, the first reports of an adverse event of concurrent thrombosis (blood clots) and thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) following the Oxford AstraZeneca Covid vaccination were reported. This new syndrome was named vaccine induced Immune thrombosis and thrombocytopenia (VITT).
Patients with VITT produce anti-platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibodies following vaccination. The antibodies cause activation of the platelets and the blood clotting system, leading to clots (thrombosis) forming in the blood vessels and a low platelet count as the platelets are used up in the process.
VITT causes aggressive blood clots to form in the blood vessels in different parts of the body including the brain, liver, gut, heart, legs, lungs and kidneys and is considered a medical emergency that can be fatal, even if treated appropriately. If suspected, VITT needs urgent medical attention.
VITT is associated with the Covid-19 vaccines, in particular the Oxford AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson vaccines which both use an adenovirus vector platform (instead of mRNA like Pfizer and Moderna).
Currently there are no clear risk factors to identify those who may be at in...
The Dossier has obtained the “digital tool” that at least one branch of the U.S. military has been using to mass-deny soldiers who apply for an exemption to the Pentagon’s unlawful Covid-19 injection mandate. This system, known as the "Religious Accommodations Appeal Generator" (RAGG), has been used by the Coast Guard to strike down nearly 99% of exemption requests, utilized specifically to enforce the Pentagon’s unlawful mRNA mandate. The collective sorting computer tool was implemented despite the fact that federal laws and Pentagon policies require every religious exemption application to be treated on an individualized basis.
While the U.S. Coast Guard is supposed to be providing an “individualized look,” the system is being utilized to swiftly deny the prospect for exemptions from the mRNA drugs, which carry an increasing worrisome side effect profile. The Florida Department of Health recently released a study showing that the mRNA shots carry significant risks specifically for fighting age males. Nonetheless, the Coast Guard has maintained a stunning a near 99% denial rate in response to exemption requests.
The RAGG is used to sort and then generate a blanket response to arguments against receiving the injections. This response would then appear in a dismissal letter “explaining” the exemption denial.
As shown below, the maritime security service sorted common arguments into certain categories. Some rejection worthy arguments (according to the Coast Guard) included:
“Risk of death is minimal. Only .03% death rate in DOD.”
“Risk of harm from the vaccine undermines readiness interest.”
“Vaccinated but unboosted members create similar risk from Omicron.”
On October 18, House Oversight Committee Republicans published a letter to the Pentagon requesting answers about the exemption denial tool.
Letter To Coast Guard Re Religious Exemptions (PDF)
"Religious freedom is protected by the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Despite these protections, information received by Committee Republicans indicates that the adjudication process for exemption applications was a pro forma exercise designed to reach predetermined conclusions—to deny requests and appeals—in nearly every single case," the GOP legislators said in their letter to Commandant Admiral Linda L. Fagan.
"The [U.S. Coast Guard] even created a digital tool to assist in more efficiently denying appeals of the vaccine mandate instead of focusing on the merits of each individual case," they added.
This un-redacted digital tool, which provides an unlawful process to enforce an already unlawful order, is now displayed publicly for the first time via The Dossier.
To catch up to speed with the Pentagon’s campaign to unlawfully force service members to take emergency use Covid-19 injections, read the recent reports below:

An NHS Trust has apologized after one of its clinics accidentally gave children a higher dose of the Covid vaccine. A total of 36 children aged between 5 and 11 were given a higher dose of the pediatric Covid vaccination by mistake at a Southampton clinic on Wednesday 26 October.
The Trust has since said the 'incident falls short of the high-quality care and treatment we normally provide' and says it is investigating to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Dr Dan Baylis, Chief Medical Officer at Solent NHS Trust, said: “We are very sorry this error occurred and we have contacted the parents of the children involved to apologize for the mistake and share support and guidance should their child experience any mild side effects such as tiredness or a headache.
“We want to reassure everyone this is an isolated occurrence, which we are taking very seriously, and a thorough investigation is underway so that we learn from this and ensure it does not happen again.” Continue reading on www.itv.com
British scientists have reportedly deliberately created deadly hybrid Covid strains in a university lab in London. Twenty scientists at the Imperial College in London infected hamsters with mutant viruses including strains of the original coronavirus and parts of Omicron or Delta, according to the Daily Mail. One of the scientists involved in the experiment is a member of the British government’s SAGE advisory panel. Imperial College maintains the tax-payer-funded study was safe and that scientists adhered to British regulations while conducting the trial and denies that the work constitutes gain of function.
Dr. Richard Ebright, a molecular biology expert at Rutgers University, warns the experiment could ignite another pandemic wave.
“At least four labs on two continents now have construed non-natural, lab-generated viruses that retain the high immune escape of Omicron and acquire higher severity than Omicron and that, as such, are reasonably expected to increase transmission or pathogenicity in humans,” Ebright noted on Twitter.
This is insanity. Both In terms of the redundancy and waste. And, especially, in terms of the risk of triggering a new pandemic wave upon accidental release of the lab-generated viruses–a risk exacerbated by the fact the lab-generated viruses are present in multiple locations.
Scientists should be prohibited from creating viruses in labs without oversight, Ebright warns.
The study by scientists at the British university comes after scientists at Biocontainment Laboratory at Boston University conducted a similar experiment, creating a deadly new hybrid Covid strain with an 80 percent kill rate in mice by combining Omicron and the original Wuhan Covid strain.
When mice trialed in the study were infected with the virus comprised of spike proteins extracted from Omicron, the structure that binds to and invades human cells, and the original Covid strain, 100 percent of them died.
The researchers at Boston University claim they were investigating whether the spike protein on the Omicron variant, which make Omicron the most transmissible Covid variant, “is also behind the virus having a particularly mild effect on infected hosts, with most suffering only slight illness,” the Daily Mail reports.
“The team behind its creation announced that as well as ‘inflict[ing] severe disease’ it also ‘robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity’, indicating that the recombinant virus retained the most dangerous properties of its parents.,” the publication notes.
The National Institute of Health is a major funder of the Biocontainment Laboratory at Boston University.
Dr. Emily Erbelding, a director at the NIAID division of microbiology and infectious diseases, claims that she was unaware of the experiment was being conducted by researchers at the university and only learned of the details from news media reports.
According to a new interim report published by the Senate Committee on Health last week, Covid-19 is likely a result of a “research-related incident” and not a “zoonotic spillover, in which animal diseases cross the species barrier and infect humans.”
“While precedent of previous outbreaks of human infections from contact with animals favors the hypothesis that a natural zoonotic spillover is responsible for the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 that resulted in the Covid-19 pandemic was most likely the result of a research-related incident. This conclusion is not intended to be dispositive. The lack of transparency from government and public health officials in the PRC with respect to the origins of SARS-CoV-2 prevents reaching a more definitive conclusion. Should additional information be made publicly available, and subject to independent verification, it is possible that these conclusions would be subject to review and reconsideration.” Continue reading on www.thegatewaypundit.com
NYPD Insider: “So, they are continuing to send these emails out and deny people their religious accommodation request. Even after this judge’s order.” https://youtu.be/2Oz6K9XFe68
NYPD Insider: “My department has -- they can’t provide me with a number to even contact anybody to speak to them. So, it’s basically -- it’s a secretive process. You have no idea who is reviewing your [religious] exemption…What standard did my letter not meet? You know? So, they’re basically telling you that your religious beliefs are not religious enough for them.”
NYPD Insider: “You know, the city is still going after officers, trying to fire us. So, that was something the [police] union brought forward and said, ‘Listen, you always said, “Follow the science.” And you’re not even doing that now, because the people in charge of it, the CDC, are telling you - you don’t need to fire us anymore and you’re still doing it.’”
NYPD Insider: “What I’m hearing from the Mayor’s Office is that they’ve already fired enough people. That if this gets reversed, they’re looking at a lot of lawsuits from those people who have been fired. So, they have to - they can’t go back on it, even if they want to… Then those people who were fired six, seven, eight months ago, turn around and say, ‘Hey you fired me and you’re not firing people now? Now I’m going to sue the city.’ So, the city is kind of - they put themselves in a rock and a hard place… They’ve already jumped in with both feet. They can’t come out now and change their mind or they are going to open themselves up to a tremendous amount of lawsuits.”
PVA recently exposed one of Mayor Adams’ aides, Chris Baugh, who was terminated by the city after telling an undercover journalist that he had no sympathy for police officers who were fired for being unvaccinated. Baugh had also stated there was not any real good reason for the city to keep a vaccine mandate in place for public sector employees.
Project Veritas Action released a new video today featuring a leaked email provided by a New York Police Department whistleblower.
An NYPD insider claimed City Hall was ignoring an order issued by the New York State Supreme Court which ruled that public sector employees who were fired for being unvaccinated be reinstated with back pay.
“So, they [city government] are continuing to send these emails out and deny people their religious accommodation request. Even after this judge’s order,” they said.
The whistleblower asserted that officers continue to be discriminated against for their vaccination status even if they had good cause to apply for a religious exemption.
“My department has - they can’t provide me with a number to even contact anybody to speak to them. So, it’s basically - it’s a secretive process. You have no idea who is reviewing your [religious] exemption…What standard did my letter not meet? You know?

The NYPD insider believes that the city refuses to reverse its actions on vaccine mandates because it will open them up to potential lawsuits.
“What I’m hearing from the Mayor’s Office is that they’ve already fired enough people. That if this gets reversed, they’re looking at a lot of lawsuits from those people who have been fired.

Did he get the vax and follow-up boosters? When professional golfer Luis Vega woke up with back pain while on vacation in New York City, he figured he'd slept in an odd position. Vega and his girlfriend went on to have a pretty normal, pain-free day, and the two even went cycling around the city.
But the next night, things got much worse — quickly. Vega, 26, woke up in the middle of the night with more severe pain in his back and a headache. He took a shower to soothe the pain and his girlfriend, a physical therapist, gave him some exercises and breathing tips to get back to sleep.
But a few hours later, Vega woke up again, and this time he was unable to move his legs. At first, he thought maybe his legs had just fallen asleep. But when Vega still wasn't able to move his legs two hours later, he knew something was very wrong.
“I tried to get up to have another shower, and when I tried to get up from the bed, I just literally fell off,” Vega told TODAY. “My legs were not able to handle the weight of my body, and that was pretty scary.” There were two possible causes for Vega's paralysis As it turned out, Vega was staying in a hotel across the street from Mount Sinai West in New York City. So his girlfriend and her family in the city were able to rush him into the hospital and get imaging tests done quickly.
An MRI revealed two possibilities: It was likely that Vega either had a tumor or a hematoma (blood clot) putting pressure on his spinal cord, Dr. Wesley Bronson, spine surgeon and assistant professor in the department of orthopedic surgery at Mount Sinai, told TODAY.

But Bronson wouldn't know for sure what was causing Vega's symptoms until he performed an emergency spinal surgery. A “remarkably rare” diagnosis "It was obvious immediately that he just had a big blood clot, and it was very compressive," Bronson revealed. "You could really tell it was putting pressure on the spinal cord."
As soon as Bronson removed the blood clot, "the sac that the spinal cord lives in immediately started to re-expand and take up the appropriate amount of space," he said.
The condition Vega developed, which Bronson described as "exceedingly rare," is called a spontaneous epidural hematoma. Essentially, that means that Vega had a spontaneous bleed in his spine, which became large enough to put significant pressure on his spinal cord — to the point that it caused paralysis in his legs, Bronson explained.
People who develop the condition typically have certain risk factors, such as clotting disorders or underlying abnormalities in their blood vessels that predispose them to bleeding issues. Taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, can also be a factor. Additionally, there are some case reports of weightlifters developing spontaneous epidural hematomas during an intense workout, Bronson noted.
But Vega's medical team performed test after test and found nothing that would put him at risk for the condition. "He had a remarkably rare diagnosis and had no risk factors at all for it to happen," Bronson said. "So, (his case is) the rarest of the rare." Recovery began almost immediately After Bronson performed an emergency laminectomy — when "a small piece of the back part (lamina) of the small bones of the spine" is removed, according to Mayo Clinic — he still wasn't sure if Vega would be able to move again. "From the moment I took the pressure off his spinal cord in surgery, I had no idea if he would wake up moving or not," Bronson said.
But from there, Vega's recovery was "fantastic," Bronson said.
Right after the surgery, Vega still had some weakness in his legs. But the next morning, he was able to stand. And over the next few days, he regained all of his strength. "The next day I was able to move my legs and all my toes and stand up," Vega recalled.
The risk of myocarditis is 800 times higher for vaccinated than unvaccinated young adults, according to a recent Swiss study that is now gaining traction in the press. The results were based on the presentation by Prof. Christian Mueller (Basel, Switzerland) at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in August 2022: “Myocardial Inflammation/Myocarditis After Covid-19 mRNA Booster Vaccination.” According to the presentation at the conference:
Prior to this study, there were no prospective data on post-vaccination myocardial lesions during vaccination with an mRNA vaccine. Only the most serious hospitalized myocarditis have been reported, mainly affecting men under 18 years of age. The actual incidence of post-vaccination myocardial lesions is 2.8% vs 0.0035% of myocarditis in retrospective studies Myocardial lesions affect women more — contrary to what is described in previous studies. The possibility of repeated doses of vaccine in order to maintain effective vaccination coverage should lead to great caution regarding possible repeated myocardial lesions and their impact on possible cardiovascular complications.
“We know that there are potentially serious side effects to the Covid 19 mRNA vaccine such as myocarditis,” the authors state. “In retrospective data, the main cardiac complication is myocarditis, which remains rare with an incidence of 0.0035% and mainly affects young men under 18 years of age.”
“However, there is a selection bias because only serious cases requiring hospitalization are reported,” the authors continue. “The true incidence of myocardial damage would therefore likely be much higher in the general population. Moreover, due to the need for repeated doses and the large number of people to be vaccinated, even this rare complication is not anecdotal.”
The researchers then reveal how they conducted their study.

“A total of 835 patients were included, including 777 who received troponinemia assay on D3, among these patients 40 had increased troponinemia,” the researchers note. “In 18 of them, causes other than the vaccine were identified that could explain the elevated troponinemia, and in the remaining 22 no cause other than the vaccine was implicated. The population studied was mainly composed of women (69%), the average age was 37 years and the patients overwhelmingly received their 3rd dose ( 92%). Less than 2% of them had a cardiovascular history.” “The results of the study found that 2.8% of the vaccinated population had myocardial lesions, 3.7% in women and 0.8% in men.”
“In addition, it can be noted that the troponinemia in the vaccinated population seems higher than in the control group without the statistical test having been carried out,” the authors add.
“The incidence of myocardial lesions is 2.8%, or 800 times higher than the usual incidence of myocarditis,” the researchers add. “The comparison with the control group found no significant difference apart from the history of myocardial infarction and peripheral atheromatous disease,” the authors added.
Dr. Vinay Prasad, a professor at the University of California at San Francisco, discussed the findings on his podcast channel. (You can watch Dr. Prasad’s entire discussion on Youtube here.)
“This is an elegant figure,” Dr. Prasad notes about the figure above. “This is sort of a waterfall figure as we’re used to an oncology, but presented for troponin where troponins are shown in descending order. And what they’ve done here, for every man and every woman in this study, they have found a comparable control that is covariate match. Now, covariate matching isn’t perfect and we can, we can talk about that, but this is, you know, the best available technique matching. You can listen to his talk to see how he did it.”
“What is he trying to show you here?” Dr. Prasad asks about Mueller’s study.
The effectiveness of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine against infection turns negative over time, according to a new study that was funded by the vaccine maker. The effectiveness of three doses—a primary series and a booster—against infection remained above 50 percent after 150 days against BA.1, a subvariant of the Omicron virus variant, researchers estimated. However, against more recent strains, including the currently dominant BA.5, the effectiveness turned negative. Against BA.2, BA.4, and BA.5, the effectiveness went negative after 150 days; against BA.1.12.1, the effectiveness turned negative after 91 days.
Negative effectiveness means that a vaccinated person is more likely to contract Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus, than an unvaccinated person.
Researchers with Moderna and Kaiser Permanente, which carried out the study, also found that people who received three Moderna doses were more likely to become infected when compared to people who received just two doses.
Researchers said that they attempted to reduce potential bias by taking actions such as adjusting for comorbidities, but that some confounding may remain.
They said that some of the negative effectiveness estimates “could be due to differential risk behaviors among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals when protection from antibodies becomes minimal.”
Hung Fu Tseng, a researcher with Kaiser Permanente Southern California and the study’s corresponding author, declined to provide evidence for the statement or otherwise comment on the negative effectiveness estimates.
“The manuscript is under review by a journal. I can’t comment on your questions now. I can, however, answer your question[s] when it is accepted,” Tseng told The Epoch Times in an email.
The study was published ahead of peer review on medRxiv, a preprint server. Researchers reached the numbers after analyzing data from Kaiser Permanente Southern California, which provides health care and insurance to millions of members.
Moderna officials didn’t respond to a request for comment.
While researchers did estimate that the vaccine remains protective against severe illness, they didn’t separate the effectiveness estimates by time since vaccination.
A slew of other studies and analyses have found that the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines turns negative over time, including a study that estimated the protection for children aged 5 to 11 turned negative after 18 or 20 weeks, and an analysis of data from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) testing program that estimated the shielding turned negative around six months.
Swedish researchers in September concluded that effectiveness turned negative within several months. “Somewhat implausibly, we even observed a negative VE against Omicron infection from week 14, indicating that vaccinated individuals experienced a higher risk of infection than those unvaccinated,” they wrote in a preprint paper. “This may relate to harvesting bias in this analysis of the first event of a common outcome (as infection with Omicron is getting close to ubiquitous in many areas now). More unvaccinated individuals had already been infected, leaving a larger pool of vaccinated individuals susceptible to their first infection later by Omicron. “As a result, a higher risk among vaccinated individuals might be observed for a limited time period.”
The CDC continues to recommend vaccination for virtually every person aged 6 months or older. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
As noted in an October 10, 2022, news article1 by British presenter Mark Dolan, we have a long list of challenges facing us at the moment. There’s the global economic crisis, the European energy crisis, runaway inflation and the threat of escalating war, just to name a few. https://rumble.com/embed/v1lb17s/?pub=1fk9v5
But on top of all of that, there’s the “Covid industry,” to use Dolan’s term, which is not about to let go of the pandemic anytime soon. And, why would they? After all, it’s the justification for the global biosecurity state; the perfect excuse to usher in biological surveillance, digital identities, The Great Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (i.e., transhumanism). Calls for Renewed Covid Measures Are a ‘Sick Joke’ So, as we head into fall and winter, the Covid industry is ramping up for another round of freedom-robbing countermeasures. In the U.K., the BBC has already kicked off the fearmongering, making a big ado about a supposed rise in Covid “cases.” Are people still buying into that worn-out fraud? Must we really spend another winter explaining how the PCR test cannot identify infection? We’ll see, but I hope not. Dolan writes:2 “The Beeb’s [BBC News] obsession with Covid at the expense of everything else was pointed out by former ONS statistician Jamie Jenkins this week.
‘A rise in Covid cases and Hugh Pym at the BBC is all over it for the main news bulletin even when there’s little impact on serious illness — for the majority. Excess deaths for months for non Covid reasons in under 60s, and nothing on main news that I’ve seen. Selective BBC reporting just shocking.’
Isn’t it wonderful that we are paying through the nose — 160 quid [British pounds] a year, for this mental torture. And powerful groups, like independent Sage … will stop at nothing until we’re all masked, working from home, socially distanced, sanitized and freshly jabbed.
At this point, hearing these siren voices calling for more restrictions is just a sick joke, given the damage these people have inflicted on our country — two and a half years of experimental lockdowns that show no discernible benefit to countries and regions that stayed open and carried on as normal.
We borrowed half a trillion quid to pay perfectly healthy people to stay at home, and we closed once viable businesses. All at the behest of those who thought you could control a seasonal respiratory virus.
Well, the data is in, the numbers are there for all to see, and the graphs are clear. Stop it we did not. Can you imagine if we had more economy destroying measures in the months to come? We are surely just a couple of lockdowns away from being so broke as a country, we will be deciding which of our offspring to eat first.” Refuse All Continued Covid Measures I can only agree with Dolan, who believes “there should be zero [Covid] measures ever again.” We have up to two years’ worth of data on most of the measures, and NONE has proven fruitful.
Instead, they’ve all been shown to be harmful — to economic stability, mental health, physical health, education, life expectancy, quality of life and more. The global response has been nothing short of disastrous, and following the same playbook once more is pure insanity.
There’s only one reason to return to strategies proven harmful, and that is because the harmful outcomes are actually desired. Unfortunately, that appears to be the case, because Covid tyranny is about to be unleashed yet again. “Mark my words, the mask mandates will return, economically damaging work from home directives will kick in and vaccine tyranny, will no doubt rear its ugly head,” Dolan writes.3
“Although it’s hard to sell now, given that Denmark have effectively banned the vaccine for anyone under 50 — you’ve got to have a doctor’s note and evidence of a serious medical condition to get the [jab]. And Norway have done the same, for the under 65s. If you are under 65 in Norway you will not be able to get booste...
With a series of 15-0 votes, academic physician-advisors to the CDC recommended the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines be added to the pediatric routine childhood vaccine schedule. These votes provided the CDC with advice to make the shots available to low-income children free of charge. Additionally, they are now on the schedule with measles, mumps, rubella, polio, etc., as routine vaccinations that most states will adopt for their public school systems.
In the US, these decisions represent many “firsts”:
First pandemic illness to be permanently added — what happens when Covid-19 essentially goes away? First emergency use authorized products to join — what happens if they are not fully FDA approved in the future? First products added without clarity on the dose, interval, and how to administer?
For example, does an unvaccinated child start with the obsolete Pfizer or Moderna products from two years ago and then two months later get a bivalent booster for a total of three shots in four months? What about a fully vaccinated child — does this mean annual boosters when the theoretical benefit, if any, only last six months?
One can see how distorted groupthink by these academic physicians and advisors with no dissenting opinion leaves the CDC, schools, and parents in a lurch. We have commentary from NTD News and Newsmax giving medical opinions and counter-narratives which are critical for listeners to understand both sides of this issue. Already lead attorney Aaron Siri has announced a legal battle for any parent who feels their child is forced into taking Covid-19 vaccines in order to fulfill the vaccine schedule and attend primary or secondary school.1
We have a great show today and welcome Dr. Renata Moon, an academic pediatrician, on for a backside interview where she gives us insight into the group think occurring in faculty meetings at a major medical school.2 Our music is a fun folk song about the times by Foundring called “mRNA the Speed of Science,” suggested by listener Bryan Steinweg.

A European Medicines Agency (EMA) committee on Friday recommended adding heavy menstrual bleeding to the list of side effect of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines made by Moderna (MRNA.O), as well as Pfizer (PFE.N) and its partner BioNTech (22UAy.DE). Reports of heavy periods - bleeding characterized by increased volume and/or duration that interferes with the quality of life - have been observed during clinical trials, from cases in the real world and in medical literature, the EMA said.
The cases - which have mostly been non-serious and temporary in nature - have been reported after the first, second and booster doses of Pfizer-BioNTech's Comirnaty and Moderna's Spikevax, it added.
The regulator has now concluded that there is at least a "reasonable possibility" that heavy menstrual bleeding is causally associated with these vaccines.
A Moderna spokesperson said the company was aware of reports linking its vaccine to dysmenorrhea, or pain associated with menstruation. Latest Updates "However, at this point, we have not identified a causal association with Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine, Spikevax."
Pfizer and BioNTech were not immediately available for comment.
The EMA also said that there was no evidence to suggest that the menstrual disorders experienced by some have any impact on reproduction and fertility.
The mRNA vaccines do not cause pregnancy complications for expectant mothers or their babies and they are as effective at reducing the risk of hospitalization and deaths in pregnant people as they are in non-pregnant people, a review carried out by the EMA’s Emergency Task Force has shown.
Menstrual disorders can occur due to a range of reasons, including underlying medical conditions as well as stress and tiredness. Health authorities have highlighted that cases have also been reported following Covid-19 infection.

Hospital beds are filling up as RSV cases surge across the United States and Canada. It’s getting so bad that one San Diego school saw nearly 40% of students take absence after a hard-hitting respiratory wave. Traditional media would like to gaslight you and blame Covid-19 for this sudden rise. But the folks at The Highwire did some digging and found damning evidence against the shots. And they did so using FDA documents involving Pfizer and Moderna’s own clinical trials. Moderna Two to Five-Year-Olds
Within 28 days after vaccination, some respiratory tract-related infections were reported with greater frequency in the mRNA-1273 group than in the placebo group. Events of pneumonia were reported by 0.3% and 0% 0f mRNA-1273 and placebo recipients, respectively. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection was reported by 0.4% and <0.1% of mRNA-1273 and placebo recipients, respectively.
“So FOUR TIMES THE AMOUNT OF RSV in the vaccinated group compared to the unvaccinated group that hadn't received it,” noted Del Bigtree. Moving on to Six to Eleven-Year-Olds
Within 28 days after vaccination, some respiratory tract infection-related PTs were reported more frequently in the vaccine group compared to the placebo group, such as Respiratory syncytial virus infection (0.3% vs 0%) and Upper respiratory tract infection (3.9% vs 2.5%).
“So you're giving a shot to kids that's INCREASING their upper respiratory tract infections with RSV quite a bit, actually,” observed Jeffrey Jaxen. Pfizer Six-Month to Four-Year-Olds (Third Dose)
SAEs (serious adverse events) reported in the BNT162b2 group included RSV bronchiolitis (5 participants).
SAEs reported in the placebo group included bronchiolitis or RSV bronchiolitis (3 participants).
So again, across the board, you see more cases of RSV in the vaccinated group than in the placebo group. These findings led the lawyers at ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network) to send this letter to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.
Given the CDC's robust and ongoing data collection among those tested for and positive for RSV, please let us know the percent of children who have tested positive for RSV who had received a Covid-19 vaccine prior to their RSV diagnosis.
Now, if the CDC were a competent organization, they were be doing the science on this information. But, as Del Bigtree puts it:
They like the head-in-the-sand method, which is “Let’s don’t ask any of the obvious questions — like why do we suddenly have outbreaks of RSV beyond anything we’ve ever seen before? Could it possibly be that injection that we know lowers the immune system and showed within 28 days an increase in RSV?”… Del then ends the segment on this note:
Is it possible that the 40 or 50% that are leaving the school happened to be going through that because the vaccination? Look — we don’t know. But what’s curious is why no one media and no one at the CDC is asking the most obvious question.
I think we all know the answer to that… Continue reading on vigilantfox.substack.com
After advertising the benefit of breakthrough infections, mainstream media is now putting a positive spin on systemic side effects by reframing them as signs of vaccine effectiveness. Last month, U.S. News & World Report gave readers the encouraging news that vaccine failures, in the form of so-called breakthrough infections, were actually a reason (for those who survived them) to celebrate added protection from subsequent infection. This week, CNN — reporting on a study published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network Open — reassured us that the worse you feel after receiving a Covid-19 mRNA injection, the better your protection.
As outlined below, the authors of the study make unfounded claims and raise more questions than answers. What the study found The authors examined blood samples and self-reported post-vaccination symptoms in 928 study participants to determine if there was an association between symptoms and antibody response.
They found:
There was no statistically significant difference in antibody reactivity between those who had no reported side effects and those with systemic side effects (fever, chills, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, headache and/or moderate to severe fatigue). Females, those who received the Moderna product and those who had a previous Covid-19 infection, had a statistically significant higher risk of having systemic side effects. Systemic side effects were associated with higher, statistically significant antibody levels.
In other words, virtually the same percentage of people developed SARS-CoV-2 antibodies whether they suffered systemic side effects or not — but those who did suffer systemic side effects had a higher level of antibodies than those who didn’t.
Based on these results the authors of the study claimed their “findings support reframing postvaccination symptoms as signals of vaccine effectiveness and reinforce guidelines for vaccine boosters in older adults.” There are two problems with the authors’ conclusions. First, their findings have no bearing on vaccine boosters for older adults as no boosted individuals were included in the study.
Second, attributing vaccine effectiveness — the risk reduction in contracting Covid-19 — to a greater antibody response is also an unfounded assumption that contradicts the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) own public safety communication to healthcare providers to “not interpret the results of qualitative, semi-quantitative, or quantitative SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests as an indication of a specific level of immunity or protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection after the person has received a Covid-19 vaccination.”
The FDA’s position was reiterated by its advisory committee, in April 2022, whose members agreed that antibody levels are not a valid measure of immunity. Why didn’t they answer the billion-dollar question? The question of whether antibody levels are a correlate of protection is an important one that still remains unanswered. Interestingly, the authors of this study had an excellent opportunity to put this question to rest — but they chose not to.
At this time approximately 10 million children between the ages of 6 months and 11 years have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine at a cost of approximately $350 million dollars to taxpayers.
The U.S. government also purchased 170 million bivalent boosters at a presumed cost of several billion dollars.
The authorization of the Covid-19 vaccine primary series in children of this age range was not based on Covid-19 outcomes, only on an immune response. And in the case of the bivalent booster, the authorization was based on an immune response in a handful of mice. Continue reading on childrenshealthdefense.org
Pfizer's plan to as much as quadruple U.S. prices for its Covid-19 vaccine next year is beyond Wall Street's expectations and will spur its revenue for years despite weaker than anticipated demand for the new booster shot so far, analysts said. The drugmaker, which developed and sells the vaccine with Germany's BioNTech (22UAy.DE), said on Thursday evening that it is targeting a range of $110 to $130 a dose for the vaccine once the United States moves to a commercial market next year.
Analysts said the move could lead to price hikes by rivals. Pfizer shares were up 4.3% at $44.77 in afternoon trading. Expected price hikes sent shares of rivals Moderna (MRNA.O) and Novavax (NVAX.O) surging 9% and 11%, respectively.
The United States is one of the biggest customers for the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 shots. The companies have varied the pricing during the pandemic, with wealthy countries paying the most for the shots and the poorest countries the least.
Pfizer said on Thursday it had contracts with other developed nations that extend through 2023 with previously agreed upon prices. The contracts would transition to normal pricing as the pandemic distribution model fades, it said. Revenue to Rise Wells Fargo analyst Mohit Bansal said the new pricing range for the vaccine could add around $2.5 billion to $3 billion in annual revenue for Pfizer. "This is much higher than our assumption of $50 per shot, and even assuming $80 per shot net price in high-income countries, we see $2 per share upside to our estimates" from the new prices, Bansal wrote in a research note. Global vaccine access group the People’s Vaccine Alliance, which has pushed for Pfizer to allow cheaper copies of the vaccine to be made, called the proposed price hike "daylight robbery."
The price range announced by Pfizer represented a more than 10,000% markup over what experts have estimated it costs the vaccine makers to produce the shots, it said.
Pfizer's price targets for its Covid vaccine are well above the cost of annual influenza shots. Under the U.S. Medicare program, the government pays around $20 to $30 for standard flu shots and around $70 for high-dose shots.
The public announcement of the new price range could be a green light for Moderna and Novavax to do the same. "We expect Moderna to adapt to this signal," SVB Securities analyst David Risinger said in a research note, adding that he sees Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna and Novavax "pricing in a similar range for the foreseeable future." Moderna had previously estimated commercial price expectations in a range of $64 to $100 a shot. It declined to comment further.
Novavax's Covid vaccine, which was just authorized this year, has not yet gained a significant foothold in the U.S. market.
Novavax Chief Commercial Officer John Trizzino told Reuters on Wednesday, prior to Pfizer's announcement, that his company would consider lower prices to gain market share.
"We need to make sure that... we’re stocked at pharmacies, we’re stocked at healthcare providers," Trizzino said. "To the extent that we've got to do something with price in order to ensure that that happens, then maybe that's a lever that we’ll pull."
Due to weak demand for Covid vaccines, Wall Street was expecting price hikes to enable manufacturers to meet revenue forecasts for 2023 and beyond.
Around 19.4 million people in the United States received the updated boosters over the first seven weeks of their rollout despite broad eligibility. In the first seven weeks of the 2021 revaccination campaign, over 27 million people received their third shot even though only older and immunocompromised people were eligible at that point.

Facebook has confirmed that five months’ worth of official Government data does in fact prove Covid-19 vaccination destroys the immune system leading to what can be described as a new form of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Back in August 2022, The Expose published an exclusive in-depth investigation into five months’ worth of official UK Government released by the UK Health Security Agency that confirmed each Covid-19 “booster” dose provides a very short-lived temporary boost to the immune systems of the vaccinated population before decimating their immune systems much more rapidly than had already been seen in people who had received two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. In short, we discovered that official UK Government data strongly suggests that the Covid-19 vaccinated population are developing some new form of Covid-19 vaccine-induced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
That investigation was shared by a reader on Facebook on the same day that we published the article, and Facebook took it upon themselves to immediately remove the post and label it as “misinformation”.
However, the reader who shared our article disputed Facebook’s censorship and on the 27th October they finally responded to confirm that they were in fact wrong, the investigation was entirely correct, and that the readers Facebook post is now back on the highly censored social media platform.
So now that Facebook has confirmed what The Expose has been trying to tell the wider public for over a year, we have included the full original investigation below so that you can share this article far and wide.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) used to publish a weekly Vaccine Surveillance Report, with each report containing four weeks worth of data on Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths by vaccination status. For our investigation we analyzed 5 of these published Vaccine Surveillance Reports containing data from August 16th 2021 to January 2nd 2022, in order to get a clear picture of the effect the Covid-19 vaccines are having on the immune systems of the vaccinated population, and this is what we found… Real-World Covid-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Pfizer claims that its Covid-19 mRNA injection has a vaccine effectiveness of 95%. They were able to claim this because of a simple calculation (full details of which can be viewed here) performed on the number of infections confirmed amongst the vaccinated group and the not-vaccinated group during the earliest stages of the still ongoing clinical trials.
Now, thanks to a wealth of data published by the UK Health Security Agency we are able to use the same calculation that was used to calculate 95% effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine, to calculate the real-world effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines, and the data, unfortunately, paints an extremely concerning picture.
The week 37 Vaccine Surveillance report included the number of Covid-19 cases by vaccination status between week 33 and week 36 of 2021 (August 16th to September 12th). Because the report tells us the Covid-19 case rates per 100,000 people among the unvaccinated and two-dose vaccinated population we are able to calculate the real-world vaccine effectiveness during this period, and it proved to be as follows:
Source
The real-world effectiveness of all available Covid-19 vaccines combined was as low as minus-47% in the 60-69 age group, and as high as +66% in the under 18 age group between August 16th and September 12th 2021. The only other age groups that the vaccine was showing to have a positive effect at this point were 18-29, 30-39, and 80+. But as you can clearly see none of the age groups was showing a vaccine effectiveness anywhere near 95%.
However, just look at how the tables turn just one month later.
The week 41 Vaccine Surveillance report included the number of Covid-19 cases by vaccination status between week 37 and week 40 of 2021 (September 13th to October 10th),
Dairy farmers in Australia are now being forced to inject the gene-altering mRNA vaccine that contains spike protein so they could remain in business—just like in humans, the experimental jabs are causing severe damage to the animals and many of them died instantly. Independent media portal InfoWars recently reported that 35 out of 200 cows died immediately after being administered the injection. Analysts consider the mandatory vaccination of cows as a direct attack on food supply. Many of them are asking if the milk and other by-products would contain the spike protein that actually harmed the animals. “Dairy herd DNA is altered. Milk is altered and you consume it. Butter constitution, yogurt, cheese and meat are altered. Will chicken and other meats be next?” Principia Scientific International (PSI), a legally registered company in the U.K. incorporated for charitable purposes, said in a statement posted on its website. According to the firm, all should be careful when consuming dairy products as well as beef products like burgers. PSI further suggested growing their own food and developing herds that are private, none tagged and never vaccinated.
“Time to set up a community farm association with member farmers who are not part of the system, have herds or animals that are not jabbed or tagged so a community of private people can be consumers of organically produced livestock,” it added. There is no science behind mandatory Covid-19 mRNA injections in animals New South Wales (NSW) was the first to have cattle herds injected with mRNA. The NSW government’s reason for the animal vaccination drive is to protect them not just from the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) but also from foot and mouth disease (FMD) and lumpy skin disease.
As per Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole, this move is an important milestone toward securing the vaccine technology that will protect Australia’s $28.7 billion livestock industry.
“The NSW Nationals in Government are taking the threat of FMD and Lumpy Skin Disease extremely seriously, and this milestone is another step forward in preparing for a potential outbreak,” Toole said. He added that he has already written to the vaccine manufacturer to take his challenge to develop vaccines ready for use and manufacture in NSW by August 1 next year.
In other words, there’s no science involved in the recent mRNA vaccination drive on cattle herds.
“Covid-19 demonstrated to us that all possible avenues in developing vaccines must be explored and we will leave no stone unturned,” Toole said, referring to how the approval of the vaccine mandate has been fast-tracked.
Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders said U.S. biotechnology company Tiba Biotech has been given free rein to churn out as many mRNA injections as possible to supposedly protect Australia’s multi-billion livestock industry. He said it is critical to developing mRNA vaccines for FMD and lumpy skin as quickly as possible. Continue reading on uncanceled.news
American author and Dilbert cartoon creator Scott Adams says in the video below he wants to kill himself in 2023 if his physical and psychic pain don’t ameliorate. https://www.bitchute.com/video/45Tqi-KYzDE/
He claims he’s depressed, hasn’t “figured out how to fix my physical problem,” and is unable to exercise.
Adams in the video above at 51:50:
But I can tell you, if I felt like this in a year, I would look to kill myself.
So let me say it directly. If I feel like this next year, I'm going to look to kill myself.
Because I don't want to live like this.
Like, I'm not going to do this — I'm not going to do this two years.
I'll do this one year.
I'll give you one year with this amount of pain.
And then next — I’m not going to do two years. Promise you I won’t do two.
Adams suffered a number of unfortunate setbacks in recent years, including the 2018 death of his stepson from a fentanyl overdose, divorce from his wife, losing a Dilbert TV show for his “being white,” a three-year battle with spasmodic dysphonia preventing him from speaking until having laryngeal surgery, and cancellation of his Dilbert comic in 2022 by a chain of 77 newspapers for apparently political reasons. Is Adams vaccine injured? It’s hard to tell if Adams was damaged by the Covid injection he says (video at 45:00) he submitted to just to be able to fly to Greece.
From his discussion in the video, it seems he might have suffered a jab injury but doesn’t want to say so because (a) he’s not certain the vaccine caused the problem; or (b) he doesn’t want to face yet more cancellation and opprobrium from those running the operation.
Some writers claim he is jab injured. I haven’t seen confirmation of this.
For example, Seemorerocks on Telegram writes:
Scott Adams [is] all messed up after multiple clotshot injections and says he's close to killing himself.
He's now in constant physical pain, has weird rashes, can't exercise and can barely even walk upstairs after his multiple injections of government health juice.
In addition, he's in psychic pain after being somehow redpilled in ways he doesn't explain and is trying to construct some false blue pill reality to hide in.
He says he'll give it one more year before [killing himself].

43:25:
Those who did not get vaccinated … I’m not going to say I agree with you, but I’m not going to say you’re wrong.
43:50:
People were not using reason to make the decision [to take Covid shots]. …
So I don't believe that the decisions were made on reason.
So I stand by that, because people don't make decisions based on reasons. I don't. You don't. People don't.
[JH comment: Scott’s partly correct here. But some people do make decisions based on reason. Everyone should, so we need accurate information, often difficult to get during operations like Covid.]
So everybody was dealing with their feelings, basically: What scares you the most? What makes you feel comfortable?
In my case, it was based on my feelings about wanting to take a trip, basically. [That] is what pushed me over the line.
47:45:
So here's what happened to me in the past years.
That matrix-like mask kind of fell off. And I lost my illusion for a while.
So being depressed is not about being in the wrong state of mind, which is the problem.
In my case, being depressed was being in the right state of mind. …
The part that made me depressed is when I saw things clearly.
And I worked since then to rebuild my illusions.
So when you ask me if I'm feeling better or depressed, I'm sort of in the process of rebuilding an illusion that I can live in without pain.
And I'm not quite there yet because I could still see too much ugly.
One of the most respected doctors in the world and top cardiologists and epidemiologist in the country had his license revoked for speaking the truth about the danger of Covid vaccines. Dr. McCullough is an Internist, Cardiologist, and Epidemiologist who testified to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs in November 2020.
Dr. McCullough is a cardiologist and was vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center and a professor at Texas A&M University. McCullough is editor-in-chief of the journals Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiorenal Medicine. He was and is an advocate for early Covid-19 treatment that included hydroxychloroquine.
He’s been right about everything throughout the pandemic.
He is one of the first doctors who sounded the alarm on the Covid-19 vaccines and explained how they all make the dangerous Wuhan spike protein.
“It’s alarming right now – we have had over 4400 deaths and 14,000 hospitalizations….That is probably only the tip of the iceberg,” Dr. McCullough said in an interview with Rose Unplugged on 1320 AM WJAS.
He said pregnant women, women of child-bearing years, children or healthy people under 50 should not get the Covid jab.
Dr. McCullough explained how all Covid-19 vaccines produce the dangerous Wuhan spike protein and what that does to a person’s body.
He added that Covid-19 vaccines have become a social menace and explained how it has been “socially weaponized.”
According to McCullough, the Covid-19 pandemic was premeditated by public health officials working in tandem with medical elites, and the evidence for this had been made clear well before the first reports of a Covid outbreak in late 2019, during an interview with Joe Rogan.
In order to promote mass adoption of the experimental vaccine, McCullough says health officials purposefully suppressed treatments and refrained from compiling a treatment protocol to combat the virus, in hopes that people would be so afraid that they would just take the jab.
McCullough, who’s also an epidemiologist, isn’t just spouting off wild baseless claims. He explained his reasoning behind his shocking conclusion by walking through the “Bradford Hill Tenets of Causality,” in order to demonstrate the link between the vaccines and the current wave of excess deaths.
The Bradford Hill Tenets are widely considered to be the standard when evaluating cause and effect. It is regularly used in public health research and is defined as “a group of nine principles that can be useful in establishing epidemiologic evidence of a causal relationship between a presumed cause and an observed effect, according to Wikipedia.
On Saturday, Dr. McCullough informed Steve Kirsch that he was terminated as the Editor-In-Chief of Cardiorenal Medicine and Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine on Friday.
From Steve Kirsch Substack: I was terminated as the Editor-In-Chief of Cardiorenal Medicine and Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine after years of service and rising impact factors. There was no phone call, no board meeting, no due process. Just e-mails or certified letters. Powerful dark forces are working in academic medicine to expunge any resistance to the vax.
Yesterday I was stripped of my board certifications in Internal Medicine and Cardiology after decades of perfect clinical performance, board scores, and hundreds of peer reviewed publications.
None of this will stop until there is a “needle in every arm.” Continue reading on www.thegatewaypundit.com
The CDC’s vaccine advisory committee unanimously voted to add the Covid-19 vaccine to the CDC’s routine childhood vaccination schedule. Immediately following the vote, I received a call from Del Bigtree, ICAN’s founder and host of The HighWire, to tell me that ICAN will support a legal challenge to any state that imposes a Covid-19 vaccine mandate to attend school.
We look forward to bringing those challenges to protect the individual right of every American, especially the youngest among us, as we successfully did when challenging the San Diego School District’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate. Everyone should be free to get numerous shots because that is freedom. And everyone should be free to reject any unwanted shot because that, too, is freedom.
While most post-March 2020 mandates have been successfully challenged or rescinded, we must never forget that the repressive arm of government is just behind a curtain, waiting to strangle our rights. That is why we must fight, always fight, to push back against that oppression. It is not a war that is won. It is an endless battle with one side pushing the needle toward eliminating individual rights and the other side that must never stop pushing back – because once it swings too far, we will not easily regain our rights. Power seized is rarely returned.
The next battle front is the body of every child in this country whose parents do not want them to receive a Covid-19 vaccine. A product for which you cannot sue the manufacturers for harm. A product whose clinical trial for children was underpowered, not properly controlled, and that did not review safety for a sufficient duration. But even in the absence of these issues, corrosive rights-crushing mandates should never exist.
We look forward to, with ICAN’s support, challenging any state’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate for school.
P.S. Note that the CDC’s action of adding the Covid-19 vaccine to its routine childhood vaccine schedule does not automatically make it mandatory in all states for attending school. In most states, the state itself needs to take action to make it mandatory. The expectation is that some states will seek to do just that. Continue reading on aaronsiri.substack.com
According to the findings of German research, one in every 700 children under the age of five who received the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine was hospitalized with severe adverse events (SAE), and one in every 200 children had ‘symptoms that were currently ongoing and thus of unknown significance.’ The study, “Comparative Safety of the BNT162b2 Messenger RNA Covid-19 Vaccine vs Other Approved Vaccines in Children Younger Than 5 Years,” was published in JAMA on Tuesday, two days before the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to recommend Covid-19 to be included in the 2023 childhood immunization schedule.
Participants in this retrospective cohort study were German parents or caregivers who had enrolled their children in a Covid-19 vaccination program at 21 outpatient care facilities. The survey used in the study was conducted in a secure online environment. From April 14th, 2022, till May 9th, 2022, a total of 19 000 email addresses were contacted using data from vaccine registration databases.
It concluded that the symptoms reported after Pfizer vaccination were “comparable overall” to those for other vaccines. Let’s see.
Any symptoms: 62% higher Musculoskeletal (muscles and bones) symptoms: 155% higher Dermatologic (skin) symptoms: 118% higher Otolaryngologic (ears, nose and throat) symptoms: 537% higher Cardiovascular (heart etc.): 36% higher Gastrointestinal (stomach etc.): 54% higher
It calls these “modestly elevated.” (Note that not all are statistically significant and some confidence intervals are wide, see below.)
In 0.5% of the children (40 of 7,806) symptoms were “currently ongoing and thus of unknown significance”. This is in a study with a 2-4 month follow-up period. That means 0.5% of children had an adverse effect that lasted for weeks or months. In two cases (0.03%), symptoms were confirmed to have lasted longer than 90 days.
Ten children were hospitalized with reported serious adverse events (SAEs), compared to zero with the other vaccines. This reported as 0.1%, as it is out of 7,806. However, the study also states that no hospitalizations were reported for children administered the low dosage of 3 μg. Since it also tells us that 6,033 children received at least one dose of over 3 μg (or unknown dosage), the rate in the relevant cohort is closer to 0.2%, or around one in 500.

The Covid pandemic was most likely the result of a lab leak, according to a bombshell Senate report. Policymakers said there was 'substantial' evidence of an accident at a research facility — while evidence for a natural spillover is 'still missing'. The interim report concluded that China 's unwillingness to cooperate or open up the lab in question meant it 'no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt'.
GOP members of the Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions reviewed hundreds of studies into the origins of Covid and interviewed 'several dozen' experts over the past 15 months.
Writing in the report, they conclude: 'Based on the analysis of the publicly available information, it appears reasonable to conclude that the Covid-19 pandemic was, more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident.'
'Nearly three years after the Covid-19 pandemic began, critical evidence that would prove that the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and resulting Covid-19 pandemic was caused by a natural zoonotic spillover is missing.' The report accepts there is still crucial missing information about how the pandemic truly came to be — with no direct evidence for either natural or synthetic origin.
But 'the lack of transparency and collaboration' from China 'prevents reaching a more definitive conclusion', the senate committee adds. 'The hypothesis of a natural zoonotic origin no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt, or the presumption of accuracy.' Proponents of the lab leak theory — including former President Donald Trump — were initially dismissed as conspiracy theorists or denounced as xenophobes.
Reacting to the committee's findings, the White Coat Waste Project campaign group said: 'Once again, an authoritative Congressional report has concluded that taxpayer-funded gain-of-function experiments on animals in Wuhan likely caused the Covid-19 pandemic.
'Yet, nearly three years into the pandemic, the white coats responsible for probably causing and covering up this global disaster have not been held accountable.
'Lab accidents are common and taxpayers in both parties shouldn’t be forced to pay for another pandemic.'
The coronavirus pandemic has led to nearly 6.6 million deaths worldwide and wreaked havoc on the global economy.
North Carolina GOP Senator, who led today's report, accepted there is some indirect evidence that Covid emerged naturally.
Policymakers point out that a third of Covid cases were linked back to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan - an animal slaughter market where exotic animals were kept in squalid conditions.
A series of studies published earlier this year appeared to trace the first cluster of cases back to one specific corner of the wet market, where animals known to harbor Covid including raccoon dogs, hedgehogs, rats and squirrels were kept.
Chinese scientists also found positive samples of an ancestral Covid strain on floors, counters and equipment in the market.
But to date 'there is no published genetic evidence that Covid was circulating in animals prior to the start of the pandemic', the Senate report says.
And the Republicans claim the samples collected from the market's stalls are too similar to the virus that circulated in humans to have been shed by animals.
'There also do not appear to have been subsequent spillovers of the virus' from animals to humans or vice versa in the past three years.
'It is also noteworthy that the earliest variants of SARSCoV-2 were well-adapted for human-to-human transmission,' the report adds. Did Covid leak from a Wuhan lab? The evidence for and against. Evidence for Wuhan lab-leak theory
An article in the respected Science journal on May 14 2021 kick-started the surge in interest for the lab-leak theory.
Some 18 experts wrote in the journal that 'we must take hypotheses about both natural and laboratory spillovers seriously until we have sufficient data'.
Later that month,
Oscar-winning actor Tim Robbins admits that he “regrets” falling for the lies pushed by the government and corporate press, surrounding discriminatory Covid measures and Covid vaccines that “do not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid-19.” In an interview with investigative reporter Matt Taibbi, Robbins said he initially believed the safe and effective propaganda about Covid at the start of the pandemic, but ultimately realized it was all predicated on lies.
“I totally understood it in the first year. I was compliant with everything. I locked down, I isolated, I was away from people for seven months. I bought into it. I demonized people. I was guilty of everything that I came to understand was not healthy,” Robbins admitted. When lockdown restrictions suddenly waned during Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, Robbins began to realize Covid was about instituting a political agenda.
“I was angry at people that weren’t wearing masks, and protesting about it in Orange County,” he said. “Yet, a month later I was protesting for BLM in the streets with a mask on. A week after that, I kind of had to do a self-check on that. I knew there was a little bit of hypocrisy going on there
“I had a really good friend that died from it early on. I was angry. I was fearful, and I did everything I could to help stop the spread, but also I kept my eyes open and at my age, I think one of the most important things that I’ve been able to do is understand that I’m not right all the time, and I have to check myself and see where the hypocrisy lay. So I started having more questions.”
Inmates suddenly being released from prison during the pandemic also prompted Robbins, leader of The Actors’ Gang theater company, to further question the illogical narrative propagated by the Covid enterprise.
“It provided us an opportunity to hire more returning citizens, the ones that had done their time and were being paroled, which was another bizarre thing — you had guys that were in jail for 30 years that got out right during Covid, and went right back into isolation,” he said. “Isn’t that insane?”
Robbins railed against discriminatory Covid measures that only permitted the vaccinated entry
We were capable of opening [the theater] last September, but there were still all of these restrictions. I had a problem with this idea of having a litmus test at the door for entry:
I understood the health concerns, but I also understand that theater is a forum and it has to be open to everybody. If you start specifying reasons why people can’t be in a theater, I don’t think it’s a theater anymore. Not in the tradition of what it has always been historically, which is a forum where stories are told and disparate elements come together and figure it out.”
That’s what it’s been for. People figure out their relationship with the gods, with society, with each other. But at the door, you don’t say you can’t come in, because you haven’t done this or that. I had a problem with that. So I waited until everyone could be allowed in the theater. We opened up with a show called Can’t Pay Don’t Pay in April last year.”
But the most challenging thing has been dealing with the actors themselves, because there is this skittishness and fear, and it’s still in people. Unlike England — I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time last year in London, and they got back a lot sooner than we did. There was an attitude there, it’s that “keep calm and carry on” thing. You know, we got bombed last night, but we’re getting up today. When they reopened their theaters, they reopened them for everybody. They never excluded anybody. And when they got back to it, their West End was thriving, and continues to thrive today.
Maybe the reason we have problems is that some people are still skittish about being in a crowd with other people, but it could also be that maybe 30 to 40% of theater audiences were told they weren’t welcome.
An email recently shared with The Epoch Times that was sent out to the healthcare staff of a hospital system in Fresno, California, reported an increase in “demise patients,” or stillbirths, that is expected to continue, according to the email. “There were 22 demise patients in August [2022], which ties the record number of demises in July 2021, and so far in September there have been 7 and it’s only the 8th day of the month,” a managing nurse wrote.
The managing nurse went on to write that she hopes the “trend doesn’t continue indefinitely.”
“I know of a few more that are scheduled to deliver in the week ahead, so unfortunately the process is going to be very familiar with all of you,” the managing nurse said.
The staff member who leaked the email told The Epoch Times that since the rollout of the vaccines, the fetal death (stillbirth rate) has skyrocketed from its pre-Covid-19 vaccine average of one to two every three months in her hospital alone.
The staff member spoke to The Epoch Times on condition of anonymity due to fear of losing their job.
The Epoch Times reached out to the head nurse who wrote the email to request a statement on why there has been a rise in what she called “demise patients,” but there has been no response.

“It is also consistent with the data from our recently published study, the VAERS database, UK Yellow Card, World Health Organization’s VigiAccess, European Medicines Agency’s EudraVigilance, World Council of Health, and even from Pfizer’s own internal documents from their 5.3.6 postmarketing data (PDF) that they attempted to suppress for 75 years,” Thorp said.

New evidence has emerged that the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines are routinely injuring the heart of all vaccine recipients, raising further questions about their safety and their role in the recent elevated levels of heart-related deaths. The latest evidence comes in a study from Switzerland, which found elevated troponin levels – indicating heart injury – across all vaccinated people, with 2.8% having levels associated with subclinical myocarditis.
The official line on elevated heart injuries and deaths, where they are acknowledged, is that they are most likely caused by the virus as a post-Covid condition rather than the vaccines.
However, expert group HART (Health Advisory and Recovery Team) has pointed to Australia as a “control group” on this matter. HART notes that even though Australia had not had significant Covid (only 30,000 reported infections and 910 deaths) prior to mid-2021, it still saw a trend in excess non-Covid deaths beginning in June 2021 (see below). HART notes that Australia “did not have prior Covid as a reason for seeing this rise in mortality and hospital pressure from spring 2021”. Instead, “the results from this control group indicate that the cause of this rise in deaths, particularly in young people, must be something in common with Australia, Europe and the USA”.
In New Zealand, economist John Gibson found a temporal association between boosters and excess deaths, estimating “16 excess deaths per 100,000 booster doses” (see below). He noted that the age distribution of the deaths corroborated the hypothesis: “The age groups most likely to use boosters show large rises in excess mortality after boosters are rolled out.”
In Japan, Guy Gin reports that Professor Seiji Kojima of Nagoya University found the same correlation during the booster rollout in January to March 2022 (see below) – a time when most excess deaths were not with Covid.
In Israel, a study in Nature observed a similar trend for 16-39 year-olds, with deaths rising and falling with the first and second doses and then rising and falling again after doses for recovered individuals.
Dr. Eyal Shahar looked at the Israeli data for all ages and estimated “a plausible range of the booster fatality rate in Israel in August 2021” of eight to 17 deaths per 100,000 vaccinees.
What about cause?
Dr. Michael Palmer and Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi at Doctors for Covid Ethics have set out what they deem “irrefutable proof of causality” that mRNA vaccines are causing vascular and organ damage. From studies and autopsy evidence the medical experts show:
mRNA vaccines don’t stay at the injection site but instead travel throughout the body and accumulate in various organs. mRNA-based Covid vaccines induce long-lasting expression of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in many organs. Vaccine-induced expression of the spike protein induces autoimmune-like inflammation. Vaccine-induced inflammation can cause grave organ damage, especially in vessels, sometimes with deadly outcome.
They explain that autopsy evidence shows that “the strong expression of spike protein in heart muscle after vaccination correlates with significant inflammation and tissue destruction”. They add that “vaccine-induced vascular damage will promote blood clotting, and clotting-related diseases such as heart attack, stroke, lung embolism are very common in the adverse events databases”.
A recent case report in Vaccines of an autopsy conducted on a 76-year-old man who died three weeks after receiving his third Covid-19 vaccination confirms the role of the vaccine. It found the presence of spike protein but not the nucleocapsid protein in the deceased man’s brain and heart, proving that the vaccine (which unlike the virus only produces the spike protein) was the cause of the deadly inflammation.
In the heart, signs of chronic cardiomyopathy as well as mild acute lympho-histiocytic myocarditis and vasculitis were present.
LOS ANGELES — Some healthcare workers vaccinated against Covid-19 had an unexpectedly low response to the shots, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center said Wednesday. In a matched-control study, researchers compared the response to the vaccine among a group of Cedars-Sinai health care workers who were generally in good health. Participants received the BNT162b2 vaccine manufactured by Pfizer Inc., and their average age was 48 years.
“It appeared that a small percentage of the healthcare workers we studied did not have a strong reaction to the BNT162b2 vaccine. After vaccination, they produced lower levels of antibodies to the spike protein found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. This low response persisted even after they received a second and third booster dose,” said Dr. Peter Chen, who holds the Medallion Chair in Molecular Medicine at Cedars-Sinai and is one of the study’s senior authors.
The low responders were relatively young, but their immune systems responded to the vaccine as if they were much older, the researchers said.
“The low responders had lymphocytes, white blood cells that are part of the immune system, with characteristics more commonly seen in older people or people with chronic illnesses. We know that older people also tend to be less responsive to vaccines, so our data suggest that this subgroup of healthcare workers has prematurely aged immune cells and was therefore less responsive to vaccination,” said Helen Goodridge, co-senior author of the study. , professor of biomedical sciences and research associate at the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
The study is part of the ongoing Cedars-Sinai-led Coronavirus Risk Associations and Longitudinal Assessment project. Investigators said the finding warrants further investigation.
“We would like to study the pathways leading to the premature aging phenotype to determine if it is specifically responsible for the reduction in antibody levels after vaccination and then try to develop a therapeutic intervention to reverse this effect,” said Dr Susan Cheng, Erika. J. Glazer, chair of the Department of Women’s Cardiovascular Health and Population and corresponding author of the study.
The researchers said that while some people’s immune systems have a weak antibody response to the vaccine, the evidence that vaccination is an effective tool for preventing serious illness and death from Covid-19 remains strong.
“We should all get vaccinated because the BNT162b2 vaccine we studied still provided some immunity in most of the weak responders. This group still had memory cells that can generate more antibodies when attacked by the virus, even if at a lower level,” Chen said.
The results of the study are published in iScience, a journal of Cell Press. Continue reading on www.jeguru.com
Faith’s specialist from Launceston General Hospital wrote in her medical report, “There is no question Faith has had a delayed reaction to the second vaccination.” Faith has since been diagnosed with “functional neurological disorder”.
More than 63 million doses of the Covid jab have been administered in Australia.
The Federal Government believes there have been 136,500 adverse reactions which means the chances of suffering a side effect is 0.2 per cent.
Faith was vaccinated in August last year and became sick three days later.
She suffered severe abdominal pain and had her appendix removed but it didn’t make her any better.
She lost a significant amount of weight and developed sudden muscle tics and twitches.
Faith wants people to see a video that she says illustrates those side effects.
Her mother Tania has told Ben Fordham, “Faith is the one who wanted the video out there”.

Her mother Tania has told Ben Fordham, “Faith is the one who wanted the video out there”.
“It doesn’t happen to everyone and it’s very rare. But Faith wants people to know that this can happen.”
Tania says she has been to countless experts to try and help her daughter.
2GB Healthy Living host Dr Ross Walker agreed to examine Faith’s medical history.
“What’s happened is that the Covid vaccine has pulverised Faith’s gut bacteria,” he told Ben.
Dr Ross Walker has put Faith and her family in touch with a new specialist for further treatment.
Press play to hear the full interview:
The Federal Government has a vaccine claim scheme for people who have suffered jab side effects.
However, Faith doesn’t qualify for funding because she doesn’t fit the criteria.
Her health condition is not eligible for assistance.
Faith’s diagnosis has cost her family tens of thousands of dollars and a GoFundMe page has been set up to assist with the huge medical bills. Continue reading on www.2gb.com
The new premier of the Canadian province of Alberta, Danielle Smith, has apologized for the government mandating vaccine passports during the coronavirus pandemic, telling the annual United Conservative Party conference “we are not QR codes.” Smith, who is exploring the option to pardon Albertans who were fined or arrested for violating the draconian coronavirus policies, said she hoped to “purge” the database of QR codes.
“I believe that Alberta Health Services is the source of a lot of the problems that we’ve had,” she said.
“They signed some kind of partnership with the World Economic Forum right in the middle of the pandemic; we’ve gotta address that. Why in the world do we have anything to do with the World Economic Forum? That’s got to end.”
“The things that come to top of mind for me are people who got arrested as pastors (and) people given fines for not wearing masks,” Smith said. “These are not things that are normal to get fines and get prosecuted for. I’m going to look into the range of outstanding fines and get some legal advice on which ones we are able to cancel and provide amnesty for.”
Canada had one of the most stringent set of coronavirus policies, which attracted national attention after the Trudeau government’s showdown with truckers who blockaded key highways and bridges in protest of the restrictions.
In response, the Canadian government pressured tech companies including the funding platform GoFundMe to prevent the freedom truckers from using their services.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the country’s Emergencies Act for the first time in history in order to quash the trucker’s protest, while police arrested the movement’s leaders. Continue reading on www.breitbart.com
Karen Kingston spoke with Mike Adams about patents that demonstrate that Covid-19 was always about the merging of biology – including the human body – with technology – artificial intelligence. Kingston is a biotech analyst with more than 20 years of experience. She has been reviewing research that has been conducted on Covid “vaccines” over more than a decade. “I really want the truth to be understood and the evidence to be seen and evaluated,” she told Adams. So, during the interview, she discussed some of the patents she has found: in particular, quantum dots “because that’s the backbone technology and energy of this AI [artificial intelligence] bioweapon,” she said. “It’s part biology and part technology … that’s always been the intention of Covid-19.”
She began by discussing a patent owned by Moderna which clearly shows that lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”) are fully programmable self-assembling technologies that can contain gels and hydrogels.
See Modified Polynucleotides for the Production of Secreted Proteins, Moderna patent US 10703789 B2, 7 July 2020.
Patent US 10703789 B2, the “master patent,” refers to around another 90 patents. In other words, the master patent is built on 90 other patents. While reviewing the patents relating to Covid “vaccines” Kingston noted that patent numbers relating to biology have the suffix “B2” while those relating to technology have the suffix “A1”.
One of the patents US 10703789 B2 referenced, which is now removed from the US Patent Office website, relates the functionality of the nanotechnology in the Covid-19 bioweapon injections to ensure rapid, easy, and targeted biodistribution of the nanoparticles, which are quantum dot particles, throughout the body.
See Method for Preparing Surface-Modified Semiconductive and Metallic Nanoparticles Having Enhanced Dispersibility in Aqueous Media, Life Technologies Corp patent US 0028565 A1, 8 April 2014.
As Kingston noted, the patent was filed to Life Technologies Corporation in 2012 and Life Technologies was acquired by ThermoFisher in 2015. In February 2022, according to a report by Reuters, Moderna entered into a 15-year agreement with ThermoFisher Scientific for the manufacturing of its Covid “vaccine” and other experimental medicines based on mRNA technology.
This second patent “rolls up into the patent [US 10703789 B2] on the Moderna website,” Kingston said. In section 0003 of US 0028565 A1, the patent described “semiconductor nanocrystals (also known as quantum dot particles)” and how the size of the quantum dot responds to different energies or frequencies.
A 2011 book titled ‘Quantum Confinement Effect’ describes how quantum dots can be used to create tags, “so to mark people or animals,” Kingston said. “There are decades of successful research where they use quantum dots, not just to label an animal or human, but then to tag, mark and trace and communicate with, if you will, the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and brain.”
Another patent that falls under the master Moderna patent US 10703789 B2 is one for opal hydrogels.
See Cell-Friendly Inverse Opal Hydrogels for Cell Encapsulation, Drug and Protein Delivery, and Functional Nanoparticle Encapsulation, Harvard College WO/2012/148684, 12 April 2012.
Opal hydrogels are part organic and inorganic. This means that they are part biology and part technology. Part technology – AI, metallic structures. Part biology – genetic sequences from other life forms e.g., insects, reptiles, rodents. Opal hydrogels look like quantum dots. “They have this bright blue and rainbow colors they give off,” Kingston explained.
A peer-reviewed article published by Wiley Online Library clearly states that the “backbone, the energy source, the technology between inorganic and organic – the inorganic-organic hybrids – is Qdots, it’s quan[tum] dots,” Kingston said.
Another patent on which the master Moderna US 10703789 B2 patent relies is one relating to carbon nanotubes wh...
Ben Shapiro, who has been an outspoken advocate for the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines, said during his show on Tuesday that he, like many others around the world, had been lied to regarding the efficacy of the vaccines, specifically with regard to their ability to prevent transmission of the novel coronavirus. On Tuesday's episode of "The Ben Shapiro Show," he said: "It is now perfectly clear that we were lied to. And we were lied to at a very high level and from very, very early on by both the vaccine companies, in terms of the ability of the vaccine to prevent transmission, and ... by our politicians who apparently knew better." Shapiro's stated during the episode that part of what changed his stance was after Pfizer executive Janine Small said in an Oct. 10 hearing before members of the EU that the company didn’t know if the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine it had developed would prevent transmission, yet the vaccine was marketed that it would.
The editor emeritus of the Daily Wire also slammed the Biden administration for having that knowledge at the beginning of his term in office yet continued to parrot the narrative that the vaccine would stop transmission of the virus.
Shapiro cited an article published in the Washington Post which suggested that the Biden administration knew by the summer of 2021 that the vaccines "did a far worse job of blocking infection than originally expected, as potency waned ... Still, the political imperative remained."
This from the outlet which previously called the now debunked claim the "most pernicious anti-vaccine talking point," and used the false narrative to attack Republicans such as Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis who claimed early on that the vaccines "are not preventing infection."
Former White House Covid response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx admitted in July that she had known that the Covid-19 vaccines "were not going to protect against infection," and added, "we overplayed the vaccines."
Shapiro stressed that the false narratives could undermine Americans’ faith in medical institutions and their government saying that when "it turns out these things are lies ... people's distrust in the institution is going to skyrocket."
During the episode, Shapiro noted that the push for Americans to get vaccinated was based on the claim that there was "robust data on the lowering of the risk of death, particularly if you were old and vulnerable, from baseline Covid," and that the case was "fairly strong" given the large amount of Americans who are obese and a large amount of elderly in the population.
Additionally, Shapiro said that the government and medical experts made the case, "largely on the basis of Pfizer claims and Moderna claims," that taking the vaccines would lower transmission rates which would, in turn, slow the spread of the disease and bring an end to the pandemic.
Shapiro also cited how the media used big pharma’s claims "because that was the available data." He cited the data as the reason he chose to get double vaccinated, as well as advocated for others to do the same through his show and social media. Shapiro said that if he had the correct information today he was unsure if he would have gotten vaccinated given that he is not in an at-risk category for the virus.
From the initial rollout of the vaccine, Shapiro has been a staunch opponent of vaccine mandates and reiterated it during the episode. He has also said that parents' reluctance to have their children vaccinated against Covid was "entirely justified," given that "Covid risks to children are extraordinarily low." Shapiro added, "We were lied to by everyone. We were lied to by the scientists. We were lied to by Pfizer. We were lied to by the government. We were lied to by the Biden administration ... I don't like being lied to." He concluded by demanding that "everybody who's involved in this sort of stuff" be thrown out of office and that those in the private sector who were complicit "...
Australia has increased its vaccine injury claims budget from less than $1 million last year to over $77 million this year. Frank Chung of Australia’s News.com reported that the 2022-2023 budget for Covid vaccine injuries increased by 700%.
The government is evidently adjusting to an increased number of Covid-19 vaccine injuries.
News.com also reported the government admitted it didn’t know about the risks the vaccines posed until five months after they approved them. This new budget indicates the government is at least trying to compensate for its hasty declarations about the safety of the vaccines.
Those injured by the Covid vaccine are eligible for compensation based on the severity of their injury, as ranked by tiers.
“Tier 1 covers low level claims under $20,000; Tier 2 covers claims above $20,000; and Tier 3 covers claims in relation to harm that caused, or materially contributed to, the death of a Covid-19 Vaccine Recipient,” reads the vaccine claims scheme.
“The Scheme has been established to support people who suffer a moderate to significant injury following administration of an approved Covid-19 vaccine.”
The wins are trending towards unvaccinated individuals as well. On Monday, the New York Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision, forcing the city to rehire unvaccinated workers and give them back pay.
In Canada, vaccine-injured individuals are largely ignored. Recently, some vaccine-injured Canadians joined in on the viral #trudeaumustgo Twitter trend. Twitter users expressed their disgust at the coercion that effectively forced their decisions to get vaccinated, only to be injured.
Earlier this month, Pfizer admitted it never tested for transmission before their Covid-19 vaccines went to market. Continue reading on thecountersignal.com
New York City’s controversial Covid-19 vaccine mandate for municipal workers was enacted illegally and employees who were fired for refusing to comply must be immediately reinstated with back pay, a state judge has ruled. “It is time for the City of New York to do what is right and what is just,” Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio wrote in a decision made public Tuesday.
More than 1,750 city workers were fired for refusing to get vaccinated, including 36 members of the NYPD and more than 950 Department of Education employees.
In his 13-page ruling, Porzio said then-city Health Commissioner David Chokshi’s Oct. 20, 2021, order “violates the separation of powers doctrine” enshrined in the state constitution.
Chokshi also violated the workers’ “substantive and procedural due process rights” and didn’t have “the power and authority to permanently exclude [them] from their workplace,” Porzio said.
And Chokshi’s order, another that extended the mandate to private employers and a related executive order issued by Mayor Eric Adams were “arbitrary and capricious” in violation of state law, the judge said. Adams’ March 24 executive order exempted athletes and performing artists from the vaccine mandate.
“The vaccination mandate for City employees was not just about safety and public health; it was about compliance,” Porzio wrote.
“If it was about safety and public health, unvaccinated workers would have been placed on leave the moment the order was issued. If it was about safety and public health, the Health Commissioner would have issued city-wide mandates for all residents.”
Porzio also noted the Big Apple’s “nearly 80% vaccination rate” before saying that “we shouldn’t be penalizing the people who showed up to work, at great risk to themselves and their families, while we were locked down.”
His ruling came in response to a suit filed earlier this year by 16 former Sanitation Department workers who were fired in February for refusing to get vaccinated.
They “all claim, and provided laboratory documentation, that they have natural immunity to Covid-19 from prior infection(s),” he wrote.
Porzio said experience from the pandemic has shown that the protections provided by vaccinations are “not absolute,” with breakthrough infections occurring “even for those who have been vaccinated and boosted.”
Porzio wrote in the ruling that then-city Health Commissioner David Chokshi's order was against the state constitution.
But he added that his ruling “is not a commentary on the efficacy of vaccination, but about how we are treating our first responders, the ones who worked day-to-day through the height of the pandemic.”
“They worked without protective gear. They were infected with Covid-19, creating natural immunity,” he wrote.
“They continued working full duty while their exemption requests were pending. They were terminated and are willing to come back to work for the City that cast them aside.”
In his decision, Porzio also cited President Biden’s recent assertion that the pandemic was “over” and Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Sept. 12 announcement that she wouldn’t extend New York’s pandemic-related state of emergency.
Under terms of the ruling, dated Monday, the fired sanitation workers were to be “reinstated to their full employment status” as of 6 a.m. Tuesday.
They’re also “entitled to back pay in salary from the date of termination,” with the plaintiffs in the case to submit a proposed judgment on that issue by Nov. 10.
The city Law Department said it had filed papers seeking to reverse Porzio’s decision, which automatically blocked his order to reinstate the fired workers.
“The city strongly disagrees with this ruling as the mandate is firmly grounded in law and is critical to New Yorkers’ public health,” a Law Department spokesperson said.
“We have already filed an appeal. In the meantime, the mandate remains in place as this ruling pertains solely to the individ...
A new study on the origins of the pandemic, “Endonuclease fingerprint indicates a synthetic origin of SARS-CoV2,” published on the preprint server bioRxiv, concludes that it is highly likely that the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19 originated in a laboratory. The odds of a natural origin, according to the study, are placed at less than 1 in 100 million. Unlike previous studies that analyzed qualitative aspects such as virus features, the new study for the first time assesses the likelihood of a laboratory origin on a quantitative basis. This breakthrough methodology allowed the authors to present objective findings that appear to exceed any previous studies. Significantly, the new study does not rely on any of the known evidence pointing toward a lab origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. For instance, it does not take into consideration the highly unusual Furin Cleavage Site that makes the virus particularly virulent and which it is widely thought to have been inserted into the virus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Nor does it factor in the huge coincidence that the pandemic started on the door steps of the world’s premier coronavirus laboratory. Instead, the authors—Valentin Bruttel, a molecular immunologist at the University of Würzburg in Germany; Alex Washburne, a mathematical biologist at Selva Science; and Antonius VanDongen, a pharmacologist at Duke University—took a novel approach that assesses the genesis of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from an entirely new angle.
The authors examined tiny fingerprints left behind in the process in which viruses are assembled in laboratories. While use of seamless genetic engineering techniques in creating viruses in laboratories typically conceals evidence of manipulation, the new study developed a statistical process for uncovering such hidden evidence by comparing the distribution of certain strands of genetic code in wild viruses and lab-made viruses.
When viruses are constructed in a lab, they are typically assembled by piecing together various virus parts. According to a blog post from Washburne that accompanied the release of the study, it is like taking Mr. Potato Head from the movie Toy Story and replacing his arms with the arms of GI Joe to help “us study things like whether GI Joe arms provide any clear benefit for an important task in the virus life cycle like lifting weights.”
In other words, one of the main purposes of manipulating viruses is to better understand which parts of viruses make them particularly infectious, lethal, or transmissible. A related purpose is to develop bioweapons but the authors of the new study reject the idea that that is why SARS-CoV-2 was made. They believe that the virus “was assembled in a lab via common methods used to assemble infectious clones pre-Covid.”
A recent experiment at Boston University is an example of piecing together virus parts. Researchers created a Covid-19 variant that killed 80 percent of exposed mice using the backbone of the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 virus and replacing its spike gene with that from the Omicron variant. Put another way, the Boston lab created a Covid-19 version of Frankenstein’s monster by piecing together different parts from different variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Piecing together viruses in labs is subject to limitations. The genetic information for SARS-CoV-2 is contained in 30,000 base pairs of RNA nucleotides. However, the 30,000 base pairs are not pieced together all at once. Instead, laboratory viruses are assembled from a collection of smaller strands of base pairs that are later “glued” back together as chimeras, or compounds. Enzymes are used to cut viruses apart at certain points along the DNA strand (laboratories use DNA instead of RNA as it is more stable; the assembled DNA is then added to bacteria that create RNA viruses).
Enzymes are proteins that cut through DNA strands at specific recognition sites. These recognition sites, or cutting sites,
Stanford tells doctors to give false information in order to overcome vaccine hesitancy Stanford tells doctors to give false information in order to overcome vaccine hesitancy. I found a Stanford course used to train doctors worldwide on how to overcome vaccine hesitancy. Basically, they tell doctors to give false information. They truly believe the false narrative.
Here’s the link for the Stanford course that teaches doctors how to overcome vaccine hesitancy:
It’s a series of short YouTube videos. It’s free to watch all the videos.
Here is the outline of the cases covered:
I viewed a number of the lessons to save you the pain and agony.
Some takeaways:
They don’t expect to turn people around to support the vaccine in a single session. They admit it can take many sessions. They clearly think that people who don’t take the vaccine are simply misinformed and need to be set on the right track. They recommend giving people false information (like saying the risk of myocarditis is higher for the virus than the vaccine) in order to deal with their objections. Of course, they don’t admit in the course that their advice is false. At no time should the doctor try to learn anything from the patient (like that the doctor is wrong). It’s all about getting the patient to conform to the narrative, not to discover truth. None of the interventions are designed to examine the data or find the truth or allow the patient to change the doctor’s mind. You are never supposed to do anything like look at the data! I really think they should do their therapy session on me as one of their case studies. If they can show people how they set me on the “correct path,” that would be astonishing. It would be so entertaining to watch them try to do that. People would pay money to see that. I can’t figure out where I can volunteer to do that. One of the references is to a paper on why people resisted making the HPV vaccine mandatory. I can tell you why people resisted the HPV vaccine… that vaccine is the second most dangerous vaccine in VAERS, that’s why. Only the Covid vaccines are more dangerous. It has 3 times the number of adverse events that all other vaccines combined at the time it was introduced. That’s why.

A new study published on Aug. 31 after being peer reviewed in the journal Vaccine - known for publishing the highest-quality vaccinology research - contains alarming findings about the safety of mRNA vaccines. The researchers conducted a secondary analysis of randomized, controlled data from Pfizer and Moderna’s phase 3 clinical trials, focusing on “adverse events of special interest (AESIs)” as listed by the Brighton Collaboration—a “global authority” on vaccine safety. As the authors write, this World Health Organization-approved priority list of adverse vaccine events hasn’t been used to examine side effects in Covid-19 vaccine trial data.
The stunning finding was as follows: The risk of serious adverse events from the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine exceeds the benefit of reduction of Covid-19 hospitalization. In the analysis, Moderna caused higher adverse events than Pfizer, but both were elevated compared to the placebo arm.
“Higher risk of serious AESI was observed in the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine group relative to placebo in both the Pfizer and Moderna adult phase III trials, with 10.1 (Pfizer) and 15.1 (Moderna) additional events for every 10,000 individuals vaccinated,” the authors wrote. The average risk difference across both vaccines was 12.5 serious AESIs per 10,000 individuals vaccinated. As the authors write, these results “raise concerns that mRNA vaccines are associated with more harm than initially estimated at the time of emergency authorization.”
One of the key differences between the authors’ analysis of the Pfizer trial and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) analysis is that the FDA calculated the number of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs), whereas the authors calculated the total number of SAEs (many vaccinated participants experienced multiple SAEs).
Another difference between the two is the criteria for including participants. The FDA’s analysis (126 SAEs per 21,621 vaccinated participants) strangely included those with only one dose across a wide range of post-injection follow-up times. The researchers’ review used a “study population with median follow-up ≥ 2 months after dose 2 (minus 120 HIV-positive participants), of which 98.1% had received both doses.” They comparatively found 127 SAEs per 18,801 vaccine recipients.
“The FDA’s analysis of SAEs thus included thousands of additional participants with very little follow-up, of which the large majority had only received 1 dose,” the authors wrote.
The authors also highlighted the differential risk-reward propositions based on a variety of factors, including age, sex, and comorbidities. The calculus for younger, healthier, and previously infected individuals would “shift towards harm,” while older, more overweight, and vitamin D-deficient individuals would have more to gain from vaccination. The most common adverse events in the Moderna and Pfizer trials were “coagulation disorders.”
The authors are also honest about the limitations of their study, stating:
“First, Pfizer’s trial did not report SAEs occurring past 1 month after dose 2. This reporting threshold may have led to an undercounting of serious AESIs in the Pfizer trial. Second, for both studies, the limited follow up time prevented an analysis of harm-benefit over a longer period.”
All these limitations stem from the public unavailability of raw data from the vaccine trials, the authors added. The most conservative, minimalist conclusion one can draw from this study is that vaccines may not confer net benefit to everyone, and therefore, universal mandates are dangerous, unscientific, and unethical. They led to marginalization and systemic discrimination of the unvaccinated and untold preventable vaccine injuries among healthy people in particular. Not to mention all the economic, cultural, and political divisions that were exacerbated. Prior to this study, numerous real-world case studies and informal analyses by observers indicated that vaccine...
On Wednesday, Dr. Harvey Risch appeared on Fox News’s “The Ingram Angle,” and he was asked if getting a fourth or fifth Covid-19 booster shot will prevent all deaths. He stated that not only will they not prevent all deaths, but that the boosters will lead to “antibody-dependent” enhancement that places boosted individuals at a higher risk of death, according to British data.
“No, it will lead to antibody-dependent enhancement and will make people, when the vaccines fail and then the increased risk of getting Covid,” he stated.
Adding, “It will increase risk. Look at the British data. The Brits actually reveal their real data, unlike us Americans, the CDC and other agencies don’t reveal the data, but the British do, and it shows the mortality in triple-vaccinated individuals is higher than in unvaccinated people. It’s very clear.”

One of the most consistent efforts made by “experts” during the early stages of the pandemic was to attempt to impress on the public that Covid was an extremely deadly disease. While it’s clear that for the extremely elderly and severely immunocompromised, Covid does present significant and serious health concerns, the “experts” did their best to convince people of all age groups that they were in danger.
Initially the World Health Organization, in their infinite incompetence, made a substantial contribution to this perception by claiming that the mortality rate from Covid was shockingly high.
In March 2020, with precious little data, the WHO made the alarming claim that 3.4% of people who got Covid had died.
CNBC reported that an early press conference by WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus compared that expected mortality of Covid-19 to the flu: “Globally, about 3.4% of reported Covid-19 cases have died,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva. In comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected, he said. This stood in contrast to previous estimates, which were also above 2%:
“Early in the outbreak, scientists had concluded the death rate was around 2.3%.”
While “experts” could be forgiven for being unsure about the death rate of a brand new illness with very little data available, the fear-mongering and world-altering policy enacted based on these estimates has caused incalculable damage.
It’s now widely known and accepted that these estimates were wildly incorrect, off by orders of magnitude.
But a new paper out from one of the world’s leading experts confirms that they were off even more than we previously realized.
John Ioannidis is one of the nation’s leading public health experts, employed at Stanford University as Professor of Medicine in Stanford Prevention Research, of Epidemiology and Population Health,” as well as “of Statistics and Biomedical Data Science.”
You’d think that those impeccable qualifications and a track record of being one of the most published and cited scientists in the modern world would insulate him from criticism, but unfortunately that’s no longer how The Science™ works.
Ioannidis first drew the ire of The Keepers of The Science™ early in the outbreak, when he cautioned that society might be making tremendous decisions based on limited data that was of poor quality.
He also took part in the infamous seroprevalence study conducted in Santa Clara County, led by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
That examination, which looked at antibody prevalence in the San Jose area, came to the conclusion that Covid was already significantly more widespread by March and April 2020 than most people realized.
This had wide-ranging implications, but the most important revelation was that the estimates of Covid’s mortality rate used by “scientists” and the WHO were almost certainly much too high.
Those estimates were created under the assumption that Covid cases were overwhelmingly detectable; that cases were captured by testing and thus tracking deaths could be achieved with a “case fatality rate,” instead of “infection fatality rate.”
That was the mistake Tedros and the WHO made two and a half years ago.
Of course, for providing substantial evidence and data that Covid was less deadly than initially feared, Ioannidis (and Bhattacharya) was attacked from within the “expert community.”
In what has now become a familiar insult, those behind the study were vilified as Covid minimizers and dangerous conspiracy theorists who would get people killed by not taking the virus seriously enough.
But Ioannidis remained undeterred, and with several authors, he recently released another review of the infection fatality rate of Covid. Importantly, the paper looks at the pre-vaccination time period and covers the non-elderly age groups; those who were most affected by Covid...
The US government funded Peter Daszak’s ECO Health Alliance to the tune of $61,491,183 to make new coronaviruses that are infectious to humans. It also directly or indirectly funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology to the tune of $7.4 million dollars to make new coronaviruses that are infectious to humans. Meanwhile the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funded Ralph Baric to the tune of $46,958,414 to make new coronaviruses that are infectious to humans. This totals more than $114 million in the period from 2000 to 2020 to make new coronaviruses which are infectious to humans.
There is no question that SARS CoV 2 (causing Covid-19) is man made. Here’s the evidence…
By a concerned reader A Brief History of Man-Made Pathogens Designed by Baric, Daszak, Zhengli and Moderna and funded by Fauci, the NIH, the NIAID and the US Government to Carry Out the Research Necessary for the Creation of SARS, MERS and Covid-19 1984: Dr Anthony Fauci is appointed director of the NIAID (National Institute of Allergies and Infectious diseases) – There is an Orwellian Appointment for you.
July 1, 1986: 1986 – 1999 funding amounts not specified and then funded by $1,987,840 over 7 years from 2000 to 2007 excluding 2002.
NIAID (National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases) funding Ralph Baric at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
Subject: Mechanism of MHV Replication (Mouse Hepatitis Virus). This was the start of the partnership between Fauci and Baric.
1999: U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS) funds research amplifying the infectious character of Coronaviruses.
1999: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation set up GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization) with a promise of $750 million in funding. So it was never going to be a bit part actor in the vaccine movie.
2000: In May, Ralph Baric successfully constructs a 28k base pair Coronavirus from smaller fragments by reverse transcription (making DNA from RNA) He makes an infectious TGE (Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus – which is a type of Coronavirus) clone from isolated components of the genome.
He files for US Patent 6,593,111 B2: The invention is exemplified by, although not limited to, the assembly of full-length, functional coronavirus genomes.
The present inventors have successfully assembled a full length infectious clone of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGE). Using a novel approach, six adjoining cDNA subclones that span the entire TGE genome were isolated. Each clone was engineered with unique flanking interconnecting junctions which dictate a precise, systematic assembly with only the correct adjacent cDNA subclones, resulting in an intact TGE cDNA construct of about approximately 28.5 Kb in length.
Among other advantages, full-length infectious clones of TGE permit the precise genetic modification of the coronavirus genome.
April 20, 2001: NIH Grant GM63228 funds Ralph Baric et al at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to do Chimera research to transform the original SARS Coronavirus which was pathogenic only to animals, existing in nature as a pathogen for dogs and rabbits, to make it pathogenic to mankind targeting lung epithelial cells. The justification for this research was that it was supposedly designed as a vector virus to distribute HIV vaccines. This resulted in US patent application US28531801P

The European Union has set out its commitment to the continued use of lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine passports and other restrictions this winter to control the spread of Covid-19, and also to the creation of a “legally binding” global pandemic treaty with a “reinforced WHO at its centre”. The document, published on September 2nd and titled “EU response to Covid-19: preparing for autumn and winter 2023“, was prepared by the EU Commission (the EU executive) and sent to the EU Parliament. It reveals how much in thrall to the new biosecurity orthodoxy the EU leadership is and bodes ill for the future management of contagious disease in the bloc and globally.
On lockdowns and other restrictions, it proposes a framework of “key indicators to assess when deciding on reintroducing non-pharmaceutical measures”. These indicators include severe disease and hospital occupancy data, and importantly are stated to relate not just to Covid-19 but to influenza as well, making this potentially part of normal winter disease management, continuing indefinitely.
It suggests mask mandates as a “first option to limit community transmission”, giving a preference for FFP2 masks.
[Face mask] use in closed public spaces, including public transport, can be a first option to limit community transmission. Recent evidence shows that FFP2 face masks, which are readily available in the EU/EEA, have a stronger protective effect than medical masks or cloth masks in the community. Member States are therefore strongly encouraged to consider their use in specific settings.
The document recommends the pre-emptive imposition of work-from-home and gathering limits before any rise in infections to try to avoid the “need for more disruptive ones such as lock downs, closing businesses and schools, stay-at-home recommendations and travel restrictions”. It stresses the need for “political commitment” to make lockdowns and other measures work.
Other measures such as working from home or limiting the size of mass gatherings have proved effective to limit transmission of the virus. When implemented ahead of increases in cases, these measures can avoid the need for more disruptive ones such as lock downs, closing businesses and schools, stay-at-home recommendations and travel restrictions. Political commitment and community engagement are key for the success and the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical measures.
The one welcome aspect of the document was the clear statement to avoid disrupting children’s education and lives any further, though even here school closures were not ruled out.
The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of children and adolescents affecting their everyday routines, education, health, development and overall well-being. It is therefore important to keep in mind the negative impacts of school disruptions on the health and development of children. The implementation of measures at schools should be aimed to be kept at a minimum and the further loss of learning should be prevented.
The document discourages travel restrictions – freedom of travel and the elimination of internal borders being an article of faith for the EU. However, it recommends use of the EU Digital Covid Certificate (i.e., vaccine passport, though it also recognises natural immunity) wherever travel restrictions are “necessary”, boasting about how widely it is already used.
Member States can make use of the EU Digital Covid Certificate in case the epidemiological situation this autumn and winter makes it necessary for countries to temporarily reintroduce travel restrictions. The EU Digital Covid Certificate Regulation, which has been extended until June 2023, provides the necessary framework to manage the impact of restrictions on free movement and to facilitate travel. It ensures that citizens can benefit from interoperable and mutually accepted certificates of Covid-19 vaccination, test and recovery. In principle,
Canadian music star Matthew Good has been blasted for implying to his concertgoers that pro-freedom citizens should be put on a plane, taken to the Congo, and shot by teenagers with “AK-47s.” Good made the comments while giving a concert this past Saturday in Nanaimo, British Columbia, and was referring to people who protested Covid rules and mandates in front of hospitals. “I’d like to put those people on a plane and fly them to the Congo, the DR (Democratic Republic of) Congo, and then they get off and like 14-year olds fire AK-47s at them,” Good said. Many in the crowd disturbingly cheered on Good for his words targeting what many inferred were directed towards the unvaccinated. Good, a native of British Columbia, was quickly blasted on social media for his comments.
“If Matthew Good said that about someone making the decision to medically transition their gender the Canadian Government would destroy him,” tweeted one user.

“This is what the government feeds these people, this guy is the best citizen Canada has. They want you to be divided like this and what people are not realizing is you are taking the world back to the times in history we were absolutely saddened and disgusted by,” wrote another. In speaking with iHeart Radio yesterday, Good denied that his comments were directed at the jab-free. “At no time did I mention unvaccinated people or vaccines,” said Good, admitting that “Yes, I did say I would like to put those people on planes.” Last year Good was canned by his record label after allegations surfaced from his former girlfriend that he had serially abused her.
Good is not the only person with notoriety to make disparaging comments about those who opposed Canada’s so-called Covid measures, which included lengthy lockdowns, provincial vaccine passports and federally-regulated workplace and travel mandates.
Last year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that the unvaccinated “do not believe in science,” and are “often misogynists” and racists,” questioning if Canada should even “tolerate these people.”
During the anti-Covid mandate “Freedom Convoy” protest, Trudeau also said those opposing his measures were of a “small, fringe minority” who hold “unacceptable views.”
This is in despite the fact that Covid jab trials have never produced evidence that vaccines stop infection or transmission, and a growing body of evidence indicating the shots may be harming more people than they are helping. Continue reading on www.lifesitenews.com
At a conference for medical professionals in Sedona, Arizona this past weekend, several speakers–all physicians–commented on a disturbing trend: an increase in otherwise healthy people dying in their sleep. Sudden unexplained age-inappropriate deaths seem to be happening more than usual, both in the United States, where these medical doctors practice, and in several other countries in the industrialized world.
Excess death “is a phenomenon all over the world at the moment,” said Dr. John Campbell, a nurse educator who has been meticulously following and commenting on the scientific data for his YouTube channel, which has 2.47 million subscribers. The data shows that “deaths are 16 percent higher than we would expect,” Dr. Campbell said in a recent video, “and the vast majority of these are not Covid deaths.” Statistics tell part of the story. Unusual deaths making headlines tell another part.
For example, South African actress, Franci Swanepoel, was found dead in her bed on Sunday morning, October 16. She was in the middle of filming a new project. Swanepoel was 50 years old. Her cause of death is not yet known, according to news reports.
Earlier this month, a young dad, Jack Grozier, was also found dead at his home in New Cumnock, Scotland. Just hours before, he had texted his girlfriend to say that he’d talk to her the next morning. Grozier was 23. He leaves behind a one-year-old son, according to the Irish Mirror.
Seventeen-year-old Gwen Casten, whose father is a lawmaker in the state of Illinois, also died in her sleep.
On October 7, 2022, Casten’s family issued a statement on Instagram explaining that their daughter, who had no known health or behavioral problems, died of a heart arrhythmia of an unknown cause.
“She had just come home from an evening with friends, went to bed and didn’t wake up,” the statement read. Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist who is board-certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease, who presented at the conference, said that when people—especially young people—die in their sleep the underlying cause is often myocarditis. Myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart, can lead to irregular heart rhythms that can be lethal without immediate treatment.
Dr. McCullough pointed to a “state-of-the-heart review” done by an international team of cardiologists published in the journal Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy this May. According to this study, many heart issues are being reported post-vaccination, with myocarditis being the most common. “While myocarditis is the highest reported cardiovascular ramification, other serious complications are also being increasingly reported,” the scientists wrote. A Surge of Catecholamines Though it may seem counterintuitive, Dr. McCullough said that sudden deaths that happen during sleep are biochemically similar to the sudden deaths during or just after vigorous exercise.
The reason people die seemingly inexplicably in their sleep, Dr. McCullough explained, is sometimes because of a surge in catecholamines during the end of the sleep cycle. This natural biochemical change is the body’s signal to wake up.
Catecholamines are hormones that are made by the adrenal glands. They are released into the body in response to physical exertion or emotional stress. But they are also released during sleep, just before waking, as a signal to the body and the brain that it is time to get up.
These catecholamines can increase our heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, among other things.
In the body there are three catecholamines: dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. A surge in catecholamines, whether it happens during sleep or during exercise, can stress the heart and cause it to beat arrhythmically, Dr. McCullough said. Dying Before Dawn If a young person’s heart has been damaged, by an infection, vaccination, or for any other reason, the surge of catecholamines can be lethal. This is the reason,
Never in my wildest dreams or more precisely my nightmares did I expect that I would find myself where I am today, instead of touring and being interviewed for my latest show, track or album, I am receiving daily media invitations to talk about my fight to regain my health after being injured and paralyzed by the Moderna vaccine. My name is Tyson Illingworth, and I am an award winning, international DJ, composer, songwriter, and sound designer. The music industry and my fans know me by my artist’s name ‘TYDI’, and I have been a musician/composer for 20 years, and I’m only 35. Music is one of the most important and powerful things in my life and I am eternally grateful that I get to live my dream. I wake up every day excited about creating music for my millions of fans and clients around the world.
The Australian medical and health system has failed me and is now actively destroying the right to choose a treatment and the Doctor/Patient relationship - and what is concerning is they are now coming for you too.
It is important to know that I am pro-evidence-based science and thought the vaccine was safe for me. I believed whole heartedly that I was doing “the right thing” by getting vaccinated. I had complete faith and trust in my country’s (Australia) leadership and medical system – that is until I suffered a severe adverse reaction that left me helpless, paralyzed, and with no help from doctors or my government.
Before the pandemic hit, I lived in California for ten years, and like many others in 2021, I soon found my life came to a standstill and I had to move back to Australia. In October that same year I received my first vaccination. Within days I started to feel severe and unbearable shooting pain and paralysis in my hands and feet. I contacted a globally well-respected spinal surgeon for advice, and his reply scared me like nothing before: “This can only be evidence of a catastrophic Neurological failure”. Shortly afterward, I was rushed to hospital where I stayed for 2 weeks. I was in disbelief and became depressed because I couldn’t believe the vaccine could do this to me, especially when we were all told it was safe and effective and if there was a reaction it would be minor.
If this was not enough, whilst in hospital, I was under the care of a highly rude, and dismissive neurologist who repeatedly told me “There is no way this is the vaccine”. Over time my condition worsened; I asked the doctors at the hospital if I would ever walk ‘properly’ again, and they would not give me an answer because they were perplexed too. It was a surreal and lonely experience learning how to walk again, I had no one to turn to who could understand me and give me answers.
Before I was released from hospital the neurologist strongly advised me to get a second vaccine and said, “if you don’t get the second one, the first will be redundant.” I acted on the neurologist’s advice and ended up taking the second vaccine only a month after my first one, in hindsight I cannot believe I listened to her as I have always thought of myself as a critical thinker and instead, I took advice from a doctor who had no regard for my personal situation, she refused to listen to me and has been disingenuous. Shortly after the second shot my injuries were further exacerbated and I was unable to move, my hands felt like they were on fire, and I struggled to get through the day. I was rushed to hospital once again, and I thought my life was over, there was no hope for me… Well, not just yet. In January of 2022 I ended up catching Covid-19. I woke up at around 3.50am gasping to breath, fearing for my life I called 000 and said, “if you don’t get to me now, I will die”. An ambulance arrived quickly, and I was rushed to the ER. From there I was taken to a Covid ward where I would spend the next two weeks struggling to breathe, fighting fevers, and shaking and crawling to the bathroom with no help. Even though I often cried for help,
Mislav Kolakusic, a former Croatian judge and now Member of the European Parliament, says Pfizer’s mRNA jab has been a rip-off. The fall-out from the admission of a senior Pfizer Executive that their experimental mRNA jab for Covid was not tested for the prevention of transmission continues.
Speaking yesterday in the European Parliament, Kolakusic has demanded a refund from Pfizer for its ‘fake vaccine’.
"…given that from the available data, in particular the data from the English NHS which precisely keeps the statistics on the number of sick, hospitalized and deceased from the so-called vaccination status of 1, 2, 3, 4 doses and unvaccinated, it is undoubtedly clear that there is no difference in infection, illness and death from Covid between the so-called vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.
"As a result, it is necessary to immediately terminate the contract for the supply of further doses as they have sold us fake vaccines request a refund of 2.5 Euros paid so far, and prosecute Pfizer and others."

Two weeks after Pfizer CEO bailed on EU testimony in the wake of a report highlighting a 'secretive' vaccine deal between himself and European Commission President Ursula 'missing texts' von der Leyen, the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has opened an investigation into the EU's Covid-19 vaccine purchases, Politicoreports.
EPPO, and independent EU body, is responsible for investigating and prosecuting financial crimes, including fraud, money laundering and corruption, according to the report. In its Friday announcement, the body did not specify who was being investigated, or which contracts were the subject of inquiry.
That said, two other watchdog agencies have brought attention to the von der Leyen - Bourla deal.
"This exceptional confirmation comes after the extremely high public interest. No further details will be made public at this stage," said the EPPO.
In April 2021, the New York Times first reported on text messages exchanged between von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla in the run-up to the EU's biggest vaccine procurement contract — for up to 1.8 billion doses of BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine. The deal would be worth up to €35 billion if fully exercised, according to leaked vaccine prices.
In January this year, the EU's ombudsman charged the Commission with maladministration for failing to look for the text messages in response to a freedom of information request. Without confirming the existence of the texts, the Commission argued in its response that "short-lived, ephemeral documents are not kept." It said that a search for the text messages hadn't yielded any results. -Politico
Last month, the European Court of Auditors published the aforementioned report in which it said the Commission refused transparency regarding details of von der Leyen's personal role in the Pfizer contract.
In it, the budget watchdog found that the EU chief went rogue in order to personally hammer out a preliminary deal with Pfizer, instead of relying on joint negotiating teams. While the Commission has been forthcoming with other vaccine contracts, it has refused to provide the court with any documents regarding those preliminary negotiations.
According to Belgian Socialist MEP Kathleen van Brempt, "several aspects" of the Pfizer contract should be investigated, including "the text messages between the Commission President and the fact that there is no paper trail of the preliminary negotiations in first instance."
According to Politico, "The MEP chairs the European Parliament's special committee on Covid-19," adding that both the EU's ombudsman and a member of the European Court of Auditors have made appearances before the panel.
"The [Covid-19] committee will be following this case with great attention," said Van Brempt. Continue reading on www.zerohedge.com
One in every 500 children under five years who received the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine were hospitalized with a vaccine injury, and one in 200 had symptoms ongoing for weeks or months afterwards, a study has found. The study published in JAMA included 7,806 children aged five or younger who were followed up of for an average of 91.4 days following their first Pfizer vaccination. It was a retrospective cohort study done as an authenticated online survey (response rate 41.1%) in spring 2022 which included parents or caregivers who registered children for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in outpatient care facilities in Germany. It compared the adverse events to those of the same children with other vaccinations in order to control for over-reporting.
Full Article
It concluded that the symptoms reported after Pfizer vaccination were “comparable overall” to those for other vaccines:
Any symptoms: 62% higher; Musculoskeletal (muscles and bones) symptoms: 155% higher; Dermatologic (skin) symptoms: 118% higher; Otolaryngologic (ears, nose and throat) symptoms: 537% higher; Cardiovascular (heart etc.): 36% higher; Gastrointestinal (stomach etc.): 54% higher.
It calls these “modestly elevated.” (Not all are statistically significant and some confidence intervals are wide, see below.)
In 0.5% of the children (40 of 7,806) symptoms were “currently ongoing and thus of unknown significance”. This is in a study with a 2-4 month follow-up period. That means 0.5% of children had an adverse effect that lasted for weeks or months. In two cases (0.03%), symptoms were confirmed to have lasted longer than 90 days. Ten children were hospitalized with reported serious adverse events (SAEs), compared to zero with the other vaccines. This reported as 0.1%, as it is out of 7,806. However, the study also states that no hospitalizations were reported for children administered the low dosage of 3 μg. Since it also tells us that 6,033 children received at least one dose of over 3 μg (or unknown dosage), the rate in the relevant cohort is closer to 0.2%, or around one in 500.
Four of the hospitalizations were for cardiovascular injury; one child was hospitalized after both doses for this reason. Four were pulmonary (lung) related. Symptoms of the hospitalized children lasted an average of 12.2 days and a maximum of 60 days. None reported a myocarditis diagnosis. No deaths were reported in this relatively small sample.
The mortality rate in under-20s has been shown to be 0.0003%. The figure for under-fives will be even lower. But even if we unrealistically assume this is the mortality rate for under-fives and the vaccines reduce it to zero, this still means that at least 500 children are hospitalized for every life the vaccines save. In reality the ratio will be much worse than this. Yet the EU has just authorized the jab for this age group, and the US is adding it to its childhood vaccination schedule.

Just as Canada's "free press" has largely stopped reporting people "dying suddenly" (unless they're famous), Alberta's "health service" is now erasing ER records of the "vaccine"-injured.
Not only were the hospital records erased for multiple patients (which was bad enough), but when the doctor went to complain about it to the public health authority, Alberta Health Services, they turned around and are now disciplining the doctor! If it was just an innocent mistake, it would have been publicly acknowledged, corrected, and the physician would be rewarded for finding the problem.
We are living in a new world here. This is why when doctors see something, they say nothing. Some very good news Fortunately, the new Alberta Premier, Danielle Smith, seems to be aware of what is going on.
Premier Danielle Smith is expected to clean up the corruption in healthcare in Alberta, Canada.
From the article:
Smith also said Albertans should expect rapid changes to who is managing health care in the province.
She will replace Alberta's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, and recruit a new team of advisers in public health that consider Covid-19 to be an endemic disease.
Wow. I have very high hopes.
I think she will clean up the corruption in the CMO’s office and at Alberta Health Services.
She can start by asking a few questions about what happened to the doctor and hospital in Mark’s article.
I predict that heads will roll soon. Continue reading on stevekirsch.substack.com
You may find some of the following claims initially hard to believe. But we can assure you that each and every one has been extracted from official Government approved documents. If you are willing to read on then you are about to stumble on the most comprehensive selection of evidence that proves Covid-19 vaccination is in effect causing mass depopulation, and your Government knew it would happen.
We will reference each and every document for you to “fact check” the claims yourselves. Excess Deaths Europe is recording excess deaths against the 2016-2019 average on a weekly basis and has been all year.
Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union, responsible for publishing high-quality Europe-wide statistics and indicators that enable comparisons between countries and regions.
The following chart is taken from Eurostat’s website and was published on the 13th of October 2022. It shows excess mortality across Europe for the month of August –

The above isn’t a one-off. It’s been the same old story all year, but nobody is talking about it.
The following chart shows excess mortality in Europe for the month of June –

It was a similar story across Europe in May 2022 as well –

We’re also seeing thousands of excess deaths every week across England and Wales.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes weekly figures on deaths registered in England and Wales.
The following chart, created by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), shows the number of deaths per week up to 16th September 2022, compared to the 5-year average, and it proves the trend of weekly excess deaths in 2022 began towards the end of April –
Source
Because the graph provided by the ONS is poor for dissecting the death figures, we downloaded the official ONS figures on deaths, which you can do so yourself here, and created charts to uncover the true severity of the situation since April 2022.
The following chart shows the number of excess deaths each week between week 16 and week 37 of 2022 compared to the five-year average –
The only week England and Wales did not record any excess deaths in the 22 weeks between 16th April and 16th September is week 22. However, this is most likely due to underreporting of deaths due to this week being the extended bank holiday weekend for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
The worst week for excess deaths during this period was week 19. This was the week ending 15th May and it saw 2,208 excess deaths across England and Wales.
Since then the average number of excess deaths per week has equated to 1,145.1, mainly ranging from around 1,000 to 1,700+ per week.
The following chart shows the overall number of deaths between week 16 and week 37 of 2022 vs the five-year average number of deaths and the overall number of excess deaths in 2022 –
Sadly, nearly 26,000 more people have died than expected.
But let’s return to Europe.
Official figures provided by 29 European countries confirm there have been more excess deaths in 2022 across Europe than in 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as 2021 when a huge swathe of deaths occurred following the emergency use authorization of the Covid-19 injections.
Unfortunately, analysis shows that the increase in 2022 is due to so many children and young adults now dying on a weekly basis.
EuroMOMO is a European mortality monitoring activity. The organisation states that its aim is to “detect and measure excess deaths related to seasonal influenza, pandemics and other public health threats”.
Official national mortality statistics are provided weekly from the 29 European countries or subnational regions in the EuroMOMO collaborative network, supported by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), and hosted by Statens Serum Institut, Denmark.
As of week 37, 2022,
More than 18 million people were injured so badly by their first Covid shot from Pfizer or Moderna that they had to go to the hospital. That’s according to the CDC’s own internal data, which a court just ordered the federal agency to release to a watchdog group. Instead of alerting the public to the incredible dangers of these shots and completely shutting down Joe Biden’s mass vaccination mandates, the CDC covered up the info until it was forced to release. Everyone in a position of authority at the CDC should be fired for this. What good is a “public health” agency if it fails to alert the public that 8% of vaccine recipients are being hospitalized?
The CDC started a vaccine monitoring program back at the very beginning of the Covid shot rollout in December of 2020. You might remember it. The program was called V-safe. People were asked to install the V-safe app on their smartphones and then self-report if they have any negative effects from the experimental mRNA shots, which were released to the public under an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA.
A lot of people were eager to help, because world governments had scared many folks very badly over the virus. Many thought that the Covid shots were a medical miracle in late 2020. So, more than 10 million people downloaded V-safe on their smartphones, and then proceeded to get vaccinated.
That’s a huge sample size for a medical study. With 10 million people participating in the V-safe self-reporting system, it gives us an extremely accurate statistical model to use when studying the 230 million Americans who have had at least one Covid shot.
The CDC tracked data in the V-safe program for the first 18 months of the vaccine’s public availability, up through July of this year. But then, strangely, the CDC never published any data from V-safe. We couldn’t see it. We just had to trust the CDC, which had been caught lying repeatedly.
The CDC’s main webpage about the mRNA Covid shots still says, to this very day, “Covid-19 vaccines are safe, effective and free.” That’s the very first sentence on the website. Safe and effective! That’s been the CDC’s position for the entire time. The vaccines are safe, and they cannot hurt you.
If that’s true, then why wouldn’t the CDC release the data until a court ordered it to do so following a lawsuit by the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN)? The data speaks for itself.
Of the 10 million people who participated in V-safe – again, a massive sample size – 3.3 million reported Adverse Health Impacts (AHIs) immediately after their first vaccination. That’s 33% or one-in-three. Of those 3.3 million people, 1.2 million reported that they were unable to perform daily activities for a time after vaccination. 1.3 million reported getting so sick from the shots that they had to miss school or work. And about 800,000 reported being hospitalized by their Covid vaccination.
That last figure is the most worrisome. 800,000 hospitalizations out of 10 million people? That’s an 8% hospitalization rate. It means that as many as 18 million of the 230 million people who received at least one shot may have been hospitalized with an adverse reaction.
A study published in June of 2021 by the National Institutes of Health – where Tony Fauci works – found that the hospitalization rate from Covid-19 for the total population was 2.1%. If you are under the age of 40, the hospitalization rate from Covid-19 is just 0.4%.
For the shots, the hospitalization rate has been 8%.
This means that: You are 4 times as likely to be hospitalized by the vaccines than by Covid itself, no matter what age group you are in.
You are 20 times as likely to be hospitalized by the shots if you are under age 40 than by Covid itself. You can read the NIH-published study here.

First Phase 3 efficacy study to be conducted using an mRNA-based influenza vaccine; study will enroll 25,000 U.S. adults 18 years and older. Influenza causes 140,000 to 710,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 to 52,000 deaths in the U.S. every year mRNA-based vaccines require only the genetic sequences of the viruses, enabling more flexible, rapid manufacturing which may lead to improved strain match, and the potential opportunity to improve upon the efficacy of current flu vaccines.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) announced today that the first participants have been dosed in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the company’s quadrivalent modified RNA (modRNA) influenza vaccine candidate in approximately 25,000 healthy U.S. adults. “For years, there has been a need to better address the burden of influenza, despite the use of existing seasonal flu vaccines. Our experience with RNA viruses and mRNA technology has given us an even deeper understanding of the opportunity to potentially provide more efficacious vaccines that could further reduce the yearly rates of the severe outcomes of viral disease like flu, including hospitalization and death,” said Annaliesa Anderson, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer, Vaccine Research and Development, Pfizer. “We are excited to start the first Phase 3 efficacy study of an mRNA-based influenza vaccine that could potentially deliver an improved flu vaccine to help address the significant burden of this disease.” Each year, even when currently available vaccine strains match circulating influenza virus strains well, those vaccines typically confer only 40% to 60% protection, with even lower protection in years with poor matching of strains.
With circulating influenza strains continually changing, predicting the best match for the next season’s vaccine is difficult for global health experts as those strains are chosen more than six months before the start of the influenza season that they target.
The flexibility of mRNA technology and its rapid manufacturing could potentially allow better strain matches in future years, and in a pandemic influenza situation, mRNA technology could allow rapid, large-scale manufacturing of vaccines. mRNA-based influenza vaccines require only the genetic sequence of the virus.
Influenza annually causes 140,000 to 710,000 hospitalizations, 12,000 to 52,000 deaths3 and about $25 billion in economic loss in the U.S. The impact of flu on racial and ethnic minority groups in the U.S. is even larger.
Black Americans are 1.8 times more likely than their white counterparts to be hospitalized for flu while Latino and Indigenous Americans are 1.2 and 1.3 times more likely, respectively. About Pfizer’s mRNA-based Flu Vaccine Program The quadrivalent modRNA vaccine candidate will encode World Health Organization recommended strains for the Northern Hemisphere 2022-23 cell culture- or recombinant-based influenza vaccines. Additional information about the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
This Phase 3 study is informed by previously shared data from the ongoing Phase 2 trial which demonstrates a safety and immunogenicity profile supportive of program advancement and is part of Pfizer’s broader influenza vaccine program, focused on leveraging mRNA technology in a vaccine to help protect against the flu.
Beyond the modRNA vaccine candidate, Pfizer has ongoing studies exploring more novel mRNA technology like self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), which has the potential to provide added benefit in the future.
In 2018, Pfizer entered into a worldwide collaboration and license agreement with BioNTech under which Pfizer has the exclusive right to carry out the clinical development and commercialization of mRNA‐based influenza vaccines. Upon potential approval and commercialization, BioNTech would receive a royalty on Pfizer’s sales.

Official figures on deaths collated from 27 countries around Europe reveal the continent has suffered more excess deaths in 2022 than in any of the past five years, even surpassing deaths in the first year of the alleged Covid-19 pandemic. All age groups are suffering a considerable number of excess deaths every single week. But the official data reveals that the reason 2022 is a record-breaking year so far for excess deaths is due to the fact so many children and young adults are now dying.
EuroMOMO is a European mortality monitoring project. The organization states that its aim is to “detect and measure excess deaths related to seasonal influenza, pandemics and other public health threats”.
The latest data was generated in week 41 of 2022 from 27 participating countries and includes figures on deaths up to week 40 of 2022.
The participating countries for week 40’s data are:
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Germany (Berlin), Germany (Hesse), Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK (England), UK (Northern Ireland), UK (Scotland), and UK (Wales).
The following is a snapshot of the cumulative excess deaths among all ages up to week 40 of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. This was taken from the week 40 EuroMOMO report which can be viewed here.
As you can see from the above, the year 2022 has seen the most excess deaths across Europe in the past five years, with 261,653 excess deaths.
The following chart has been created to show the overall number of deaths for each year between week 0 and week 40 using the figures provided by EuroMOMO –
Logically, one would expect 2020 to be the year where the most excess deaths were recorded, simply because the entire world was put on lockdown due to an alleged “deadly” pandemic.
Then with the mass roll-out of a “life-saving” vaccine, one would expect excess deaths to have fallen a long way in 2021 and significantly in 2022.
So why is it that the total number of excess deaths in 2021 by week 40 is only 2,773 shy of the number of excess deaths in 2020?
And why is it that the total number of excess deaths in 2022 by week 40 is 17,958 greater than the number of deaths in 2020, and 20,731 greater than the number of excess deaths in 2021?
We can partly answer that question by looking at who it is that’s dying.
The following two charts show excess deaths in 2020, 2021 and 2022 up to week 40 among 45-64-year-olds and 65-74-year-olds.
The above shows that there were more excess deaths in 2021 among these age groups than in both 2022 and 2020. The year 2020 actually recorded the least amount of excess deaths. So the record-breaking number of deaths in 2022 cannot be solely attributed to people dying aged 45 to 74.
The following two charts show excess deaths in 2020, 2021 and 2022 up to week 40 among people aged 75-84, and people aged 85+.
The year 2022 has seen the most excess deaths among people aged 75-84 and 85+ out of the three years. But only slightly among 75 to 84-year-olds, with a slightly bigger gap among those aged 85 and above.
So again, the record-breaking number of deaths in 2022 cannot be solely attributed to people dying aged 75 and above.
Unfortunately, 2022 is a record-breaking year so far for excess deaths across Europe because so many children and young adults are dying, as you can see from the following two charts –
Source
In regards to children aged 0 to 14, we know that the increase in excess deaths started to be recorded around week 22 of 2021, which just happened to coincide with the week the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted “an extension of indication for the Covid-19 vaccine Comirnaty (Pfizer) to include use in children aged 12 to 15″.

We analysed data provided by EuroMOMO at the end of August 2022,
This article will explain exactly why endless Covid reinfections happen, and the dangerous consequences that they lead to, based on recent scientific advances. What’s happening?
When Omicron appeared around December of last year, the powers-to-be in most Western countries found themselves in a situation of mass vaccine failure, where a Covid variant Omicron, about infectious as measles, was spreading like wildfire, while at the same time evading vaccine immunity.
So, the clever solution was to abolish containment altogether, wish “illness and death” on the unvaccinated people, and hope that the vaccinated world gains “herd immunity” while enjoying relatively low mortality.
Unfortunately for them and for us, things did not work out this way. Hospitals are overwhelmed by the vaccinated. Endless Covid short term reinfections, plaguing the UK and the rest of the Western world, are sliding towards “Chronic Covid”. Herd immunity is enjoyed only by unvaccinated countries.
Chronic Covid is a situation where the vaccinated cannot develop natural immunity, cannot quickly clear infections, and remain ill and infectious for extended period of time. Such repeat infections progressively damage their immunity to the point of not being able to clear Covid at all. That would lead to people being chronically infected, infecting others, and overwhelmed with toxic Covid viral proteins, while remaining immunosuppressed.
This article describes scientific mechanism and shows why this is happening. Using three recent studies, I will show that
The vaccinated cannot develop “natural immunity” The boosted cannot clear the virus quickly upon infection Covid virions invade and damage monocytes, the blood cells providing immunity, due to Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE), leading to gradual destruction of the immune system. Sars-Cov-2 also infects immune T-cells.
Natural Immunity and Original Antigenic Sin Myself and many amazing substackers, including El Gato Malo and Eugyppius, wrote many articles pointing at the likelihood that the vaccinated cannot acquire proper “natural immunity”, like unvaccinated people do, due to so called Original Antigenic Sin, or “immune imprinting”.
Please note that another notable substacker, Brian Mowrey, disagrees with us. I am providing a link to his article just for completeness, however here Brian and myself disagree.
We finally have a well done scientific study, showing OAS in neatly presented form, based on meticulous scientific research.
This is not the place to give this very important Cell article full attention. The point to take out is that vaccinated persons do NOT produce a full immune response to any variants that they are infected with, instead producing useless Wuhan antibodies that did not even keep them from getting infected.
This is the main reason why the vaccinated get reinfected so often. We spoke a lot about it on substack, but finally have a scientific confirmation. Slow Viral Clearance in the Boosted Another groundbreaking article shows not only that “Covid vaccine” does not prevent infection, but also that the boosted remain infections and Covid positive for extremely long times after apparent resolution of their symptoms.
You can see here that the boosted participants, despite appearing to resolve their symptoms, remain infections FAR LONGER and still show high viral loads (Ct < 30) even at day 9. Mind you, CDC said that they can end isolation at day 5. Well, we know how that worked out, but such a long viral clearance is extremely concerning. It shows that despite resolving the symptoms, the patients remain ill, infected, and infectious! What other virus does it? That’s right, HIV. The symptoms go, but the virus stays.
This also, incidentally, explains why the boosted have so many heart problems and pulmonary embolisms around day 10 of their illnesses. The other, less visible result of that is extended damage that Covid d...
Boston University issued a statement Tuesday defending its research of a Covid-19 Omicron strain when they took the variant’s spike protein and attached it to the original Covid-19 strain, leading to a higher mortality rate in a certain species of mice, triggering concern among lawmakers. “The Omicron S-bearing virus robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity, mainly due to mutations in the receptor-binding motif… while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80 percent,” the preprint study said.
One lawmaker, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), said that the research entailed “lethal gain of function virus research” that creates the “potential to kill more people than any singular nuclear weapon.” Marshal, a doctor, added that “viruses have managed to escape even the most secure labs” and said such “research must stop immediately while the risks and benefits can be investigated.”
Meanwhile, Emily Erbelding, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease's division of microbiology and infectious diseases, told Stat News that the Boston University’s grant application didn’t specify that researchers wanted to perform this work and the group did not say it was performing experiments to possible enhance a Covid-19 variant. An investigation is now underway, she said.
Boston University issued a lengthy statement defending its research and said critics have misrepresented the goals of the study while refuting allegations that the study involved gain-of-function research, which can make a pathogen more deadly or transmissible.
“The research was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), which consists of scientists as well as local community members,” the statement from Boston University said.
“The Boston Public Health Commission also approved the research. Furthermore, this research mirrors and reinforces the findings of other, similar research performed by other organizations, including the FDA. Ultimately, this research will provide a public benefit by leading to better, targeted therapeutic interventions to help fight against future pandemics.”
Certain reports about the study were “false and inaccurate,” Boston University official Ronald Corley said in a statement. A report from the Daily Mail, he alleged, took the “80 percent” line out of context.
“We want to address the false and inaccurate reporting about Boston University Covid-19 research, which appeared today in the Daily Mail,” said the statement. “First, this research is not gain-of-function research, meaning it did not amplify the Washington state SARS-CoV-2 virus strain or make it more dangerous. In fact, this research made the virus replicate less dangerous.” Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
France’s General Christian Blanchon published a tribute letter to the unvaccinated in September 2022, calling citizens who refused the Covid injections “superheroes.” The statement Blanchon published may have originally been written by Spanish biologist and film-maker Fernando López-Mirones, who posted a statement with almost the exact same words in Spanish on his Telegram channel on July 26, 2022.
Blanchon’s publication of the text made waves in Europe and around the world among people critical of draconian Covid policies but was largely ignored by the mainstream press.
The text of the soldier’s letter offers encouragement to those who resisted the experimental Covid jabs that were developed, according to the recent admission of a Pfizer executive, “at the speed of science” and not thoroughly tested before being introduced to the market.
Blanchon praises the courage of the unvaccinated who often faced immense pressure from doctors, colleagues, friends, and even family members.
He said that those who resisted the Covid jabs “embody the best of humanity” and are “superheroes.”
The French military general also alluded to a battle between light and darkness as he described the unvaccinated as “the soldiers that any army of light wishes to have in its ranks” and when he added that they are “heroes born among ordinary men who shine in the dark.”
Blanchon stated that “we now know who the resisters are on planet Earth,” referring to the refusal of the unvaccinated to give in to the immense pressure they faced.
Here is the full statement translated into English: Even if I were fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for standing up to the greatest pressure I have ever seen, including from spouses, parents, children, friends, colleagues, and doctors.
People who have been capable of such personality, courage, and such critical ability undoubtedly embody the best of humanity.
They are found everywhere, in all ages, levels of education, countries, and opinions.
They are of a particular kind; these are the soldiers that any army of light wishes to have in its ranks.
They are the parents that every child wishes to have and the children that every parent dreams of having.
They are beings above the average of their societies; they are the essence of the peoples who have built all cultures and conquered horizons.
They are there, by your side, they seem normal, but they are superheroes.
They did what others could not do; they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination, and social exclusion.
And they did it because they thought they were alone and believed they were alone.
Excluded from their families’ Christmas tables, they have never seen anything so cruel. They lost their jobs, let their careers sink, and had no more money… but they didn’t care. They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciations, betrayals, and humiliation… but they continued.
Never before in humanity has there been such a casting; we now know who the resisters are on planet Earth.
Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, of all races and all religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen ones of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to resist when everything fell apart. Collapsed.
You’ve passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest marines, commandos, green berets, astronauts, and geniuses couldn’t pass.
You are made of the stuff of the greatest that ever lived, those heroes born among ordinary men who shine in the dark. Continue reading on www.lifesitenews.com
Justin Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa on Monday that if not enough Ontarians get vaccinated, his government would consider “other health measures” as a result.
Trudeau was speaking to reporters during a press conference at an event to announce a new project from global telecommunications company Nokia “that would help Canada successfully transition to the next generation of 5G wireless technology.”
A reporter asked a question about Covid-19 and vaccinations.
Trudeau responded: “One of things to remember as flu season approaches, is people got to get vaccinated, whether it’s getting the flu vaccine or getting up-to-date on your Covid shots.”
Trudeau seemed to consider both having a flu shot or a Covid booster as being “vaccinated.”
As part of his response, the Prime Minister seemed to intimate that Canadians could see a return to draconian measures that shut down many sectors of the country for years. He said, “If we’re able to get a high enough level of vaccination, it would reduce the danger of needing to take other health measures to make sure we’re all safe and not overloading our hospitals.”
He went on to suggest that if people are jabbed with either flu shots or Covid boosters that it would “keep pressures off of our economy and communities.”
The idea that unvaccinated Canadians have been the cause of closures has been roundly debunked by data from Canadian health care systems, as well as information from abroad.
Almost a year ago, it was made evident that countries with the highest vaccination rates experienced the highest rates of Covid hospitalization, and hospitalization rates were essentially equal between jabbed and unjabbed citizens.
Data from the Government of Ontario showed in January that those who counted as “fully vaccinated” made up the vast majority of hospitalizations in Ontario associated with Covid.
At the time, Trudeau blamed unvaccinated Canadians for new lockdowns, even though the data from Ontario and numerous other provinces showed the opposite. Continue reading on www.lifesitenews.com
“Until proven otherwise, it is likely that Covid mRNA vaccines played a significant or primary role in all unexplained heart attacks, strokes, cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure since 2021.” https://rumble.com/embed/v1lx8ky/?pub=1fk9v5
That’s according to Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a renowned British cardiologist who once endorsed the vaccines on TV but is now raising awareness of their dangers. In September his two–part, peer-reviewed analysis of vaccine efficacy and safety was published in the Journal of Insulin Resistance.
Dr. Malhotra made the comments in a new interview with James Freeman Wells, a former Head of U.K. Trade and Business Inflation Statistics at the Office for National Statistics, the U.K.’s Government statistics agency. James has tweeted a link to the full interview here.
Dr. Malhotra’s comments come ahead of a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Covid-19 Vaccine Damage, where he will speak to MPs and Peers about the evidence of the risks from the vaccines, putting it in the context of wider problems with the way medicine is regulated and marketed globally. The meeting was originally planned for September but was delayed due to the Queen’s death and will now take place this coming Thursday, October 20th in the House of Commons of the U.K Parliament.
Referring to the worrisome influence of large pharmaceutical companies in the regulation of drugs – whom he describes as “immoral” and “psychopathic” because he says they are constitutionally unable to put people before profits – he proclaims: “It’s time to put patients before profits, to put truth before money, to put human needs ahead of the needs of an immoral, psychopathic entity. Let’s do this.”
James Wells has posted a link to a template letter to encourage your MP to attend here.
Let’s hope this delivers another hammer blow to the wall of silence that has thus far met the growing clamor for recognition of the extraordinary level of injuries associated with these experimental genetic vaccines. Continue reading on dailysceptic.org
Three independent studies released in 2020 compared the overall health of vaccinated, with any vaccine, and unvaccinated people and the results are striking. Everyone who is considering vaccination for themselves or their families should weigh the results of these reports before making a decision. https://rumble.com/embed/vy00nx/?pub=1fk9v5
Sunfellow Health & Healing: Three Independent Studies Answer This Question: Do Vaccines Make Us Healthier? 11 April 2022 (15 mins)
The three studies described in the video above were conducted by:
Brian Hooker and Neil Miller James Lyon-Weiler and Dr. Paul Thomas The Control Group
The Control Group We previously wrote about the study conducted by The Control Group. At the time The Control Group had initiated a federal lawsuit, using their study as evidence, to stop all discrimination against Americans based on their vaccination status. Earlier this month the US supreme court denied The Control Group’s petition to review a previous decision to dismiss their case.
“This health freedom case is now closed because four Supreme Court Justices were unwilling to come together to hear our case,” wrote The Control Group.
In February 2021 the District Court of California dismissed The Control Group’s case on the grounds that they couldn’t sue the President for the constitutional violations alleged, but rather should sue someone else.
The Department of Justice’s strongest argument was that the scientific evidence proving the American population is being decimated by vaccines would embarrass the political elite in Washington DC, noted The Control Group.
The Attorney for President Biden wrote in his brief: “Any suggestion from a court that vaccines are not safe would cause ’embarrassment from multifarious pronouncements by various departments on one question’.” Further reading: Vaxxed v. Unvaxxed: Lawsuit Seeks to Protect Americans From Discrimination Based on Vaccination Status, The Defender, 1 June 2021
One year later, the judge reversed the dismissal order. This was after plaintiffs pointed out the judge owned approximately $500,000 in vaccine manufacturer stock. But the 9th Circuit appellate court and US Supreme Court declined to allow the case to move forward, claiming the President cannot be held responsible for vaccine mandates.
Our unvaccinated control group’s statistically verified evidence (presented with above 99% confidence) that unvaccinated Americans are over 1,200% healthier than vaccinated Americans.
As CDC schedule vaccines cause over 90% of chronic illnesses today in vaccinated people, and as courts turn their backs on the unvaccinated, where can the American people turn for the enforcement of basic rights? How much longer will human sacrifice be “legal” so long as the weapon is a vaccine? Dr. Paul Thomas Five days after Dr. Paul Thomas published his study his medical license was revoked. In February 2022, during an interview with Sweden’s Aga Wilson of News Voice, Dr. Thomas discussed his study, the war on informed consent and the covid vaccine and its side effects. “I lost my license 5 days after this study was available online on December 3rd, 2020. It was reinstated with restrictions on June 3rd and I get my day in court in November 2022! My fundraiser to support the legal battle and all my work is DrPaulsFight.com,” Dr. Thomas told Wilson. He responded to the accusations by starting his weekly show titled ‘Against the Wind’.
Dr. Thomas began his interview with News Voice by discussing how he got to the point where he suspected that vaccines were risky and as a result opened his own practice so he could follow his ethic of giving parents informed choice. During this section he said:
“Never, ever have they done a study of the whole [childhood vaccine] schedule itself. The CDC has been asked to do this, they have refused to do it, they won’t do it. And I can tell you why. If you look at some of the data,
The CEO of Moderna announced his company has a program that involves injecting messenger RNA (mRNA) into people’s hearts following a heart attack. “We are now in a super exciting program where we inject mRNA in people’s hearts after a heart attack to grow back new blood vessels and re-vascularize the heart,” Stephane Bancel, the CEO, told Sky News in a recent interview.
Bancel did not elaborate on the nature of the program. His company produced one of the world’s most-used mRNA vaccines for Covid-19—as did pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.
When the reporter suggested that there is an “irony” within the Covid-19 pandemic that it allowed companies like Moderna to “develop these other areas because of the revenues that came through the door,” Bancel agreed. “You’re 100 percent right,” he said.
In August, Moderna reported second-quarter 2022 revenue of $4.7 billion, up $300 million from the second quarter of 2021. For the first half of this year, its total revenue stood at $10.8 billion, or a growth from $6.3 billion in the same period last year.
The company attributed the significant spike in its revenue growth to the rise in sales of the company’s Covid-19 vaccine.
Before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) handed down emergency use authorizations for the Moderna and Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines in 2020, no mRNA products received full FDA approval within the United States. Research Meanwhile, an Australian government agency last month granted $1.1 million to target three major cardiovascular diseases using mRNA technology, with officials claiming that mRNA-based therapies will reduce inflammation in connection to three major heart diseases including atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
“The mRNA-based targeted strategies that we are investigating can stop the progression of inflammation, providing the opportunities of preventing cardiovascular disease events like heart attack, stroke, and heart failure without the unwanted side effects,” one researcher, Baker Institute’s head of molecular imaging and theranostics Xiaowei Wang, said in a statement after the grant.

Thanks to variants like Omicron, Covid-19 has adapted throughout the pandemic and therefore even those with boosters can be infected or reinfected. With that in mind, what follows is an overview of some of the most common symptoms associated with that variant and its offspring for the fully-vaccinated – and two early warning signs that you might have it. Most common symptoms for the fully vaccinated Researchers in Norway conducted a study interviewing 111 out of 117 guests to a party on 26 November 2021 where there was an Omicron outbreak. Of the group interviewed, 66 had definitive cases of Covid and 15 had possible cases of the virus. Of the 111 participants, 89 per cent had received two doses of an mRNA vaccine and none had received a booster shot. According to the findings published in the infectious disease and epidemiology journal Eurosurveillance, there were eight key symptoms experienced by the group of fully-vaccinated partygoers.
These were: a persistent cough, runny nose, fatigue, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, fever and sneezing.
An associate practitioner administers a coronavirus vaccine at Elland Road in Leeds
The study found that coughs, runny noses and fatigue were among the most common symptoms in the vaccinated individuals while sneezing and fever were least common.
Public health experts also added nausea to this list of symptoms in vaccinated people who have contracted the Omicron variant.
Although the vaccine protects against the more serious risks of the virus, it is still possible to contract Covid even if you have both jabs and a booster shot.
The mild nature of the symptoms makes it hard for people to distinguish the virus from a common cold.
But, according to Professor Tim Spector of the ZOE Covid project, around 50 per cent of “‘new colds’ currently are, in fact, Covid”. Two early warning signs you may have Omicron Experts also suggest there are two distinct symptoms that could be a sign a positive test is around the corner: fatigue and spells of dizziness or fainting.
More than simply feeling tired, fatigue can translate to bodily pain by causing sore or weak muscles, headaches and even blurry vision and loss of appetite.
Dr Angelique Coetzee, a private practitioner and chair of the South African Medical Association, told Good Morning Britain that fatigue was one of the main symptoms of Omicron when the variant broke out in South Africa.
In fact, 40 per cent of women reported they struggled with fatigue due to Covid compared to one-third of men, according to a poll by WebMD that asked users how often they had suffered fatigue from 23 December 2021 to 4 January 2022.
Dizziness or fainting is the second sign that you may have Omicron.
A report from Germany recently suggested that there could be a link between fainting spells and Omicron after doctors in Berlin found that Covid was triggering recurrent dizzy spells in a 35-year-old patient admitted to hospital.
German newspaper Arztezeitung said that the doctors could see a “clear connection” between the infection and the fainting spells. Continue reading on www.independent.co.uk
A high school in Kentucky says it is canceling the rest of the football season for its varsity team. On Tuesday, Bellevue High School Athletic Director Jim Hicks announced that the school made the decision because the team has a limited number of healthy players available.
Hicks said the safety of the players at Bellevue High School is their No. 1 priority.
The athletic director shared that the school looks forward to the return of varsity football in 2023.
Bellevue High School has joined other programs that have also recently canceled their football seasons.
Last month, officials at Okemos High School in Michigan said they canceled their remaining games because of health concerns regarding players.
A school district in Nebraska also made a similar decision at Lincoln Northwest High School in September. Continue reading on www.kptv.com
The CDC Advisory Committee has unanimously voted to add Covid-19 shots to the child and adolescent vaccination schedule.
The move is seen as a recommendation rather than as a mandate.
However, the decision leaves millions of parents worried due to reports of rising injuries and deaths caused by the vaccines. In addition, the CDC is set to decide on whether Pfizer and Moderna should be permanently shielded from injury liability relating to Covid-19 vaccines.
The CDC’s actions are expected to improve the financial performance on Covid-vaccine makers, while fueling further debate about vaccine mandates among the American public. Continue reading on www.oann.com
80 young Canadian doctors have died since the Covid-19 “vaccines” were given “warp-speed” emergency authorization without any long-term safety or efficacy data. The short-term data submitted to approving regulatory health agencies around the world have been exposed to be corrupt, rife with fraudulent data manipulation and poor laboratory management, patient safety concerns, and data integrity issues exposed by whistleblower Brook Jackson at the Ventavia-run Pfizer phase III trial site.
Dr. William Makis, MD, has been investigating and raising alarm bells since the rollout of Covid-19 “vaccines” in Dec. 2020. Dr. Makis defines “a young doctor” as someone up to 70-years-old, given most physicians practice into their 60’s and 70’s and are generally healthy individuals.
Dr. Makis penned another letter for the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) presidents, Dr. Alika Lafontaine and Dr. Katharine Smart, October 15, 2022, raising concerns about the “sudden deaths” of 80 young Canadian doctors since the rollout of the Covid-19 “Vaccines” and vaccine mandates. His first letter to the CMA regarding 32 deaths young doctor deaths temporally related to the vaccine rollout went ignored.

Boston University scientists were today condemned for 'playing with fire' after it emerged they had created a lethal new Covid strain in a laboratory. DailyMail.com revealed the team had made a hybrid virus — combining Omicron and the original Wuhan strain — that killed 80 per cent of mice in a study.
The revelation exposes how dangerous virus manipulation research continues to go on even in the US, despite fears similar practices may have started the pandemic.
Professor Shmuel Shapira, a leading scientist in the Israeli Government, said: 'This should be totally forbidden, it's playing with fire.'
Gain of function research - when viruses are purposefully manipulated to be more infectious or deadly - is thought to be at the center of Covid's origin.
A Chinese laboratory located just miles from the first cluster of cases carried out similar research on bat coronaviruses.
But the practice has been largely restricted in the US since 2017.
Dr Richard Ebright, a chemist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, told DailyMail.com that: 'The research is a clear example of gain of function research.
He added: 'If we are to avoid a next lab-generated pandemic, it is imperative that oversight of enhanced potential pandemic pathogen research be strengthened.'
80 percent of mice died from the new man-made Covid strain, while none died from the milder Omicron variant alone, researchers at Boston University's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories found.
Dr Richard Ebright, a Rutgers University chemist, said that this research could spark the next lab-created pandemic. Professor Shmuel Shapira (right), a leading scientist in the Israeli Government, said that this type of research should be banned as it is playing with fire.
In the new research, which has not been peer-reviewed, a team of researchers from Boston and Florida extracted Omicron's spike protein — the unique structure that binds to and invades human cells.
It has always been present in the virus but has become more evolved over time. Omicron has dozens of mutations on its spike protein that made it so infectious.
Researchers attached Omicron's spike to the original wildtype strain that first emerged in Wuhan at the start of the pandemic.
The researchers looked at how mice fared against the new hybrid strain compared to the original Omicron variant.
When a similar group of rodents were exposed to the standard Omicron strain, however, they all survived and only experienced 'mild' symptoms.
Writing in the paper, they said: ‘In...mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80 percent.’
The researchers said it signaled that while the spike protein is responsible for infectivity, changes to other parts of its structure determine its deadliness. Have we learned nothing? 40 new biochemical labs that handle dangerous viruses are being built around the world The Coronavirus pandemic has prompted a global surge in laboratories that handle dangerous viruses — despite concerns Covid may have been the result of the risky experiments.
More than 40 facilities certified as biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) or BSL-4 have either been built or have gone into construction since 2020, predominantly across Asia.
Many countries believe they were caught flat-footed by Covid and want to get ahead of the next devastating outbreak by studying pathogens that pose a threat to humans.
Experiments at these labs often involve tinkering with animal viruses to advance treatments and vaccines that could be used in a future outbreak.
But there are widespread concerns that these experiments might actually raise the risk of pandemics — something some experts believe was the case with Covid.
The virus first began spreading from a wet market in Wuhan, about eight miles from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV),
You might think the organization at the heart of the Covid pandemic would be banned forever from receiving any more federal dollars. You would be wrong.
The organization, Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance, is having its best year ever. It has just scored its fourth ongoing grant from Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Health for — as incredible as it may sound — “pandemic prevention.” In all, it will rake in almost $3 million tax dollars this year alone, with millions more in the pipeline in coming years.
Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, who has just introduced legislation to blow up the Fauci-EcoHealth funding pipeline, says enough is enough. “It is absolutely batty that NIH would give another cent of taxpayer money to EcoHealth when the group has failed to respond to repeated NIH requests about violating . . . federal laws and turning over information about the dangerous experiments it was conducting in . . . Wuhan,” says Ernst. “Giving taxpayer money to EcoHealth to study pandemic prevention is like paying a suspected arsonist to conduct fire safety inspections,” she continued.
Sen. Ernst is being kind. Peter Daszak, the British biologist who runs EcoHealth, virtually has admitted that his organization poured out the accelerant at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and then struck a match.
Before the pandemic, Daszak was fond of telling everyone who would listen how he had been funding the collection of coronaviruses and gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab for over a decade.
Coronaviruses were perfect for this work, Daszak told one interviewer: “You can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily. It’s a spike protein. Spike protein drives a lot of what happens with the coronavirus, the zoonotic risk [to humans]. So you can get the sequence, build the protein . . . We insert the [spike protein] sequence into the backbone of another virus and then do some work in the lab.”
And when famed evolutionary biologist Andrew Rambaut questioned the prudence of gain-of-function research on Nov. 19, 2019 — just weeks before news of the Wuhan outbreak leaked out — Daszak shot back:
“Not true–we’ve made great progress with bat SARS-related [Coronaviruses, identifying more than] 50 novel strains, sequencing spike protein genes, identifying ones that bind to human cells, using recombinant viruses [and] humanized mice to see SARS-like signs, and showing some don’t respond to [monoclonal antibodies], vaccines.”
Daszak claimed that the research was necessary to prevent the next global pandemic. Instead, it may very well have caused one. In hindsight, his comments read almost like a confession. In other words, EcoHealth was helping the Wuhan lab create killer coronaviruses. Apparently the man had no idea that the Chinese Communist Party might have other uses in mind for dangerous coronaviruses than research into vaccines. We now know that there was a secret, Chinese military research program — run in parallel with the nominally civilian one — that Daszak (and funder Fauci) were presumably unaware of and were unwittingly supporting. And it seems highly likely that the virus that causes Covid-19 came from that program.
But there is no doubt about what Daszak did next. With the onset of the pandemic, he instantly pivoted from candor to coverup. He orchestrated a letter saying the lab leak theory was misinformation, and social media companies like Facebook and Twitter censored anyone who suggested it. One of my columns was censored.
Given all this, why are Peter Daszak and EcoHealth receiving yet more funding? After all, if this was research that led to the accidental detonation of a nuclear weapon that killed 10 million people and caused trillions in economic damage, those seeking answers would be rioting in the streets.
As I see it, the grant may be a desperate, last-ditch effort to scour the bat caves of Southeast Asia in the vanishingly small hope of finding something — anything — close enough to the Covid vi...
Alberta physicians are raising the alarm about a trend in blood donations in Canada. Dr. Stephanie Cooper, an obstetrician specializing in high-risk births at Foothills Medical Centre, said a patient recently refused to consent to a blood transfusion if it came from a donor who had received the Covid-19 vaccine. "I see people with severe hemorrhage due to childbirth on a regular basis. And for me, the idea that this is out there is somewhat mind-boggling." It came up in a routine conversation while she was counselling the patient before a C-section. The patient did not end up needing a blood transfusion.
Shocked by what she'd encountered, Cooper shared her experience on Twitter and was inundated with responses, including from other health-care providers who reached out with similar stories. "I'm quite concerned about it," she said, noting Canada's blood supply does not register the Covid vaccination status of donors. "There isn't a choice to receive Covid vaccine-negative blood. So by declining blood, it means you will die." Parents request unvaccinated blood This is not an isolated incident in Alberta.
"We're seeing it about once or twice a month, at this stage. And the worry is of course that these requests might increase," said Dr. Dave Sidhu, the southern Alberta medical lead for transfusion and transplant medicine.
That includes parents of sick children.
"We do see a few, certainly in our bone marrow transplant patients in particular. You have to remember these kiddos are immuno-compromised and there's always more sensitivity around these patients, and some of them can be quite frail," said Sidhu, who is also an associate professor in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary.

"Any caution or questions around that, we encourage our parents to ask.
According to Sidhu, requests for so-called directed blood donations, taken from an unvaccinated parent or legal guardian, come with a number of risks and have not been accommodated. Continue reading on ca.news.yahoo.com
Analysis of U.S. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) data suggests the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been filtering and redesignating cancer deaths as Covid deaths since April 2021 to eliminate the cancer signal. The signal is being hidden by swapping the underlying cause of death with main cause of death. Uncontrollable turbo-charged cancers the medical establishment had never seen before only started to occur after the rollout of the Covid jabs. Before it was manipulated to eliminate the safety signal, data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) showed cancer rates among military personnel and their families tripled after the rollout of the shots.
After the rollout of the Covid jabs in 2021, cancer patients have gotten younger, with the largest increase occurring among 30- to 50-year-olds, tumor sizes are dramatically larger, multiple tumors in multiple organs are becoming more common, and recurrence and metastasis are increasing
In a series of Twitter posts, The Ethical Skeptic — self-described as a former intelligence officer and strategist — has laid out a series of charts illustrating how cancer deaths are being mislabeled as Covid deaths.
The suspicion is that this is an effort to hide the fact that the Covid shots have resulted in soaring cancer rates. The Ethical Skeptic also takes a deep dive into the data in “Houston, We Have a Problem, Part 1,” on TheEthicalSkeptic.com.
As noted in his article, seven out of the 11 International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes tracked by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics — including cancer — saw sharp upticks starting in the first week of April 2021. “This date of inception is no coincidence, in that it also happens to coincide with a key inflection point regarding a specific body-system intervention in most of the U.S. population,” The Ethical Skeptic notes. In other words, April 2021 was when large swaths of the American population were getting their first Covid jabs. Cancer Diagnoses on the Rise The following graph, highlighted on Dr. Jennifer Brown’s Substack,3 illustrates the cyclical wave pattern of cancer diagnoses, from January 2015 and October 1, 2022. As noted in the top-right text box: “We should be at or near a seasonal nadir. Instead we are at an all-time CA [cancer] excess, and heading up. Keep in mind there is substantial lag to CA reporting, so this likely under-represents true excess.” At no point during the past seven years have we seen this rate of new cancer diagnoses. Are the Covid shots to blame? Probably, unless we can identify another widespread environmental factor or exposure that was introduced to the population, en masse, in early 2021, that didn’t exist before.
CDC Fudging Death Records to Eliminate Cancer Signal According to The Ethical Skeptic’s analysis of U.S. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) data, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been filtering and redesignating cancer deaths as Covid deaths since Week 14 of 2021 to eliminate the cancer signal.
The following two charts, posted on Twitter October 1 and 2, 2022, illustrates how cancer mortality is being artificially suppressed. As explained by The Ethical Skeptic:
“The set dynamics are complex, but the principle is straightforward. When a death cert lists Cancer as the UCoD [underlying cause of death] and Covid as MCoD [main cause of death] — the UCoD & MCoD are being swapped, and Covid is being listed as the UCoD 100% (425/wk)."
“This results in 20% of all Covid deaths each week, also happening to be persons dying of Cancer — which is egregiously higher than it should be. This is clear over-attribution = equates to exactly the difference between the Cancer and All Other ICD-10 code lag curves.”
The problem facing the CDC, is … What does one do when Covid Mortality is no longer substantial enough to conceal the excess Cancer Mortality?
So,
A few months ago, a box was left outside the door of 34-year-old Yu Ting Xu’s* apartment in Beijing. Inside, there was an electronic monitoring wristband and a demand that she wear the wristband at all times as part of the fight against Covid-19 in her residential area. While telling her story over a video call, Yu shuffles about in the background. When she returns to her screen, she is holding up the wristband, which looks like a smartwatch but has a plain white plastic surface instead of a display. “I have never put it on,” she said. “I have accepted lockdowns, forced Covid-19 tests and health codes, but this thing feels like surveillance just for the sake of surveillance.” The wristband was the last straw for Yu who is among an increasing number of citizens concerned about the motivation for the Chinese authorities’ expansive use of Covid-19-related technology.
“I am afraid that the Covid-19 strategy is starting to be about controlling Chinese people instead of fighting Covid-19,” she told Al Jazeera.
Just a few days before Yu received the wristband, thousands of residents in central China had used social media to organise a protest outside a bank in Zhengzhou.
Many had been unable to access their bank deposits at the city’s Yu Zhou Xin Min Sheng Village Bank since April with the bank claiming that the problem was due to “system upgrades”. Fed up with months of excuses, the depositors planned to protest in front of the bank’s headquarters. But the day before, thousands of depositors suddenly found their smartphones buzzing and the health codes on their compulsory Covid-19 apps turning from green to red.
Colour changes usually happen when the holder has visited a Covid-19-infected area or been designated a close contact with someone with the virus, and it means that the individual must quarantine immediately.
The red codes raised eyebrows.
There had not been a registered Covid-19 outbreak in the province, and the health codes of the family members who accompanied the many depositors to the protest remained green.
Beijing has said technology such as the app and wristband are crucial to its zero-Covid strategy and its commitment to stamping out the virus, but the red health codes in Zhengzhou and the electronic wristbands in Beijing have contributed to growing skepticism. Protection causing harm When the health code system was implemented in early 2020, rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, warned such digital tools risked breaching the human rights of any Chinese citizen with a smartphone.
In the first two years of its operation, those early warnings were largely drowned out by thundering applause at the apparent success of the zero-Covid policy. While many Western countries were stumbling from one chaotic national lockdown to the next, Chinese authorities were able to keep most of China Covid-19-free with targeted lockdowns using digital tools to prevent the infected or potentially infected from spreading the virus.
Today, however, the roles are largely reversed.
While most of the world has used vaccination as a way to move on from coronavirus restrictions, China is stuck in a loop of relentless lockdowns in an unrelenting quest to stamp out every Covid-19 outbreak. Despite the wide availability of Covid-19 vaccines and the associated decrease in death rates, Beijing’s zero-Covid policy remains firmly in place with no end in sight.
The Chinese government defends the policy as a well-meaning strategy to protect people.
But prolonged lockdowns in cities such as Shanghai have brought with them reports of food shortages, family separations and even the killing of the pets of patients sent to quarantine. In the middle of September, there was outrage when a bus transporting people to a Covid-19 quarantine centre crashed, killing 27 passengers.
The accident fed directly into the ongoing discussion in Chinese society about the accumulating costs of the government’s coronavirus po...
Meet Michael Turner MD, a graduate of Stanford University, Harvard Medical School, and The Mayo Clinic, who believed in vaccines, but doesn’t anymore. He documented his Covid vaccine transformation from pure blue pill (trusting the narrative) to pure red pill (realizing he was duped) in this short article he posted to his Substack.
At the start of his journey, he wrote:
I was glad to have this [Covid vaccine] available and recommended it far and wide to patients.
In the middle he wrote:
My doctor friend, employed by our local hospital, offers this confessional: “We received an email stating if we brought up concerns about the vaccine or were less than enthusiastic about encouraging each patient to get it, we would be subject to termination.”
He is a pediatrician.
At the end, fully red-pilled, he wrote: To my mind, this is about freedom. This is about honesty and transparency. And, most importantly, in the end, this is about people: real, individual human beings trying to live their best lives for a brief time here on Planet Earth. We deserve to know the truth. And we deserve to have our truth acknowledged – like the poignant story of this vaccine immunologist who herself became a victim of vaccine injury. I began this journey as a friend with a heavy heart; I have ended as a doctor with a troubled conscience.
But I have hope.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32).
Like Dr. Paul Marik, once Dr. Turner transitioned from trusting the experts to trusting the data, he was able to find the truth.

Pop singer M.I.A. has been dropped from GQ magazine’s upcoming ‘Men of the Year Awards’ after defending controversial radio host Alex Jones, and suggesting that celebrities “pushing vaccines” should pay damages. M.I.A. responded by saying the magazine’s staff “don’t have balls.” The British singer shared a message from GQ on Twitter on Friday, in which one of the magazine’s editors canceled her appearance at the awards night, as well as an upcoming photoshoot. The decision to drop the singer was made due to the “controversial nature” of her “current twitter activity,” the message explained.
The ‘Paper Planes’ singer was dismissive. “You print words for living,” she responded. “How do you judge man of the year when you don’t have balls?”
The controversy seemingly erupted on Thursday, when M.I.A. tweeted: “If Alex Jones pays for lying shouldn’t every celebrity pushing vaccines pay, too?”
InfoWars host Alex Jones was ordered by a Connecticut jury on Wednesday to pay nearly $1 billion to the families of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims. Jones claimed in 2012 and 2013 that the shooting was a “hoax,” and that some of the parents faked their own children’s deaths.
M.I.A. has long been skeptical of Covid-19 vaccines, declaring in 2020 that she would “choose death” over the coronavirus jab. Her latest comments came after Pfizer executive Janine Small told European lawmakers that the company didn’t test whether its vaccine prevented transmission of Covid-19 before bringing it to market.

Haitians paid tribute on Sunday to the singer Mikaben, whose sudden death during a concert in Paris left his country reeling. The 41-year-old recording artist, whose real name is Michael Benjamin, suffered a suspected heart attack or cardiac arrest during a performance on Saturday, shocking fans who saw him collapse as he made his way off stage.
He was appearing at the 20,000-capacity Accor Arena in eastern Paris as a guest of the Haitian group Carimi.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/4Yt35xl4o5jK/
He “died after suffering a seizure on stage and despite the efforts of emergency services”, the venue announced on Twitter.
Videos on social media show him performing, then suddenly turning and making his way towards the back of the stage. He collapsed in full view of spectators, the music stopped and medics were called.
Tributes poured in from across Haiti after his death, with radio stations and venues playing his music on repeat from Saturday night.
“I’m shocked by the sudden death of the young and very talented artist Michael Benjamin ‘Mikaben’,” the Haitian prime minister, Ariel Henry, wrote on Twitter. We have lost a major figure in Haitian music.”
Haiti-born rapper Wyclef Jean, of the hip-hop group the Fugees, called him “one of the most influential and inspirational young artists of our generation”, in an interview with the Miami Herald newspaper.
“Rest in peace,” he wrote in a tribute on Twitter, with a video showing him with Mikaben. “Gone too soon.”
The former Haitian premier Jean Henry Céant echoed the praise, hailing Mikaben as “one of the most talented artists of his generation”.
In a special broadcast by Magik9 radio, the singer Tamara Suffren said his death was “a blow to the country” – a state mired in security and health crises.
Mikaben, son of the famed singer Lionel Benjamin, was born in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, in 1981, and was well known in the local music scene as a singer, writer and producer. He featured in several Carimi hits, including Baby I Missed You and Fanm sa Move.
Smiling and thanking fans, he posted a video to his more than 1 million followers on Instagram from inside the Accor Arena on Saturday before the concert.
His wife Vanessa, who is pregnant, posted a message thanking people for their prayers but asking for privacy.
“I’m in no condition to talk. I lost my other half and have no words,” she wrote. Continue reading on www.theguardian.com
A Los Angeles family is grateful their loved one has been found after missing for two weeks, and they believe the rare condition called Covid psychosis may have contributed to her sudden disappearance. Hadyne Wilson, 23, went missing on September 29 after abruptly leaving her job at Vons in Chatsworth. Her coworkers reported odd behavior from Hadyne that day. Hadyne did not come home that night either.
Her family frantically searched for her for two weeks.
"It was hell and it was torture, but we held on to God's promises that she would come back. Everybody went out looking and we plastered everything [with missing posters] and I think somebody found her and brought her to the hospital because of all the efforts of everybody which we're so grateful for," said Cyndee Wilson, Hadyne's mother.
Hadyne was found by an unidentified person on Wednesday and ended up at the Cedars Sinai emergency room. She was then transported to another facility for care.
Cyndee saw her daughter for the first time since the disappearance on Friday, but still has a lot of unanswered questions. She worries Hadyne could have Covid psychosis again. Cyndee said Hadyne was diagnosed with the rare condition in January after experiencing hallucinations and hearing voices. "She was hospitalized [in January] for 28 days, and then this just happened [the disappearance] two weeks ago, and it came out of nowhere, so she may have Covid again. It only happened when she had Covid. It [the condition] looks like schizophrenia with hearing voices and hallucinations," said Cyndee. Doctors are still learning about Covid psychosis and its impacts, but it is considered to be a very rare condition.
Dr. Thomas Yadegar, the ICU Medical Director at Providence Cedars Sinai Tarzana Medical Center spoke with FOX 11.
"The virus that causes Covid just like any other virus can infect the brain and the lining of the brain so you can get cases such as meningitis or encephalitis, and those patients do have neurological symptoms ranging from headaches that are severe to confusion and delirium," said Yadegar.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, a peer-reviewed study from 2020 showed that in patients with no history of psychiatric disorders, the probability of a first psychiatric disorder diagnosed up to 90 days after a Covid-19 diagnosis was higher than among patients who contracted the flu or other respiratory infections. The study reported by the CDC also suggests health care professionals caring for Covid-19 patients over time "be on the lookout for new onset psychiatric disorders, even in patients with no previous psychiatric diagnoses." Though there is not yet ample research about Covid psychosis, the idea that viruses can trigger a psychiatric disorder is not new and is well documented.
"It's very rare for Covid to cause psychosis, but it isn't unusual for infections overall to cause confusion and delirium. There are cases where patients get infected and families bring patients into the emergency room because they're just not themselves, they're confused, they're talking gibberish and when we do an analysis, those patients have an infection," said Yadegar.
Yadegar said Covid-19 symptoms are changing due to new variants.
"Covid is not what it was in 2020. Covid-19 doesn't necessarily have to follow the rules nor does it follow the rules so what I tell patients is if you don't feel like yourself, you have fatigue, or you're run down, it is important to get checked," said Yadegar.
Yadegar said what's happening abroad indicates the U.S. will soon see more Covid cases and it's important to practice precautions like vaccinations to avoid contracting the illness. The latest booster is designed to target the Omicron variants.
"If you look at Europe, and what they're going through right now, it's a very good predictor of what's coming our way in the next few months and I think it's important for patients to make sure to...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released new data showing a total of 1,437,273 reports of adverse events following Covid-19 vaccines were submitted between Dec. 14, 2020, and Oct. 7, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
The data included a total of 31,470 reports of deaths and 261,738 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period. There were a total of 3,232 reports of adverse events following the new bivalent booster Covid-19 vaccine as of Oct. 7, 2022. The data included a total of 26 deaths and 162 serious injuries.
Of the 31,470 reported deaths, 20,125 cases are attributed to Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, 8,533 cases to Moderna, 2,735 cases to Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and no cases yet reported for Novavax.
Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 880,882 adverse events, including 14,790 deaths and 91,760 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and Oct. 7, 2022.
Foreign reports are reports foreign subsidiaries send to U.S. vaccine manufacturers. Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, if a manufacturer is notified of a foreign case report that describes an event that is both serious and does not appear on the product’s labeling, the manufacturer is required to submit the report to VAERS.
Of the 14,790 deaths reported as of Oct. 7, 7% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination and 15% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination.
In the U.S., 619 million Covid-19 vaccine doses had been administered as of Oct. 6, including 370 million doses of Pfizer, 234 million doses of Moderna and 19 million doses of J&J.
Every Friday, VAERS publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
Historically, VAERS has been shown to report only 1% of actual vaccine adverse events.
VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to Oct. 7, 2022, for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds show:
4,279 adverse events, including 182 cases rated as serious and 7 reported deaths. 5 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation). The CDC uses a narrowed case definition of “myocarditis,” which excludes cases of cardiac arrest, ischemic strokes and deaths due to heart problems that occur before one has the chance to go to the emergency department. 27 reports of blood clotting disorders. 46 reports of seizures.
VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to Oct. 7, 2022, for 5- to 11-year-olds show:
14,622 adverse events, including 692 rated as serious and 29 reported deaths. 46 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis. 69 reports of blood clotting disorders. 183 reports of seizures.
VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to Oct. 7, 2022, for 12- to 17-year-olds show:
39,833 adverse events, including 4,335 rated as serious and 127 reported deaths.According to the CDC, “VAERS data available to the public include only the initial report data to VAERS. Updated data which contains data from medical records and corrections reported during follow up are used by the government for analysis. However, for numerous reasons including data consistency, these amended data are not available to the public.” 269 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds where the reaction was life-threatening, required treatment or resulted in death. 1,332 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis with 1,163 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine. 301 reports of blood clotting disorders with 278 cases attributed to Pfizer. 26 cases of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) with all cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.
VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to Oct. 7, 2022, for all age groups combined, show:
16% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders. 53% of those who died were male,
U.S. senators are preparing to call Big Pharma CEOs to testify before Congress after a senior Pfizer executive admitted under oath that Covid-19 vaccines were not tested against transmission before going to market. As Slay News reported, Pfizer’s president of international developed markets, Janine Small, made the explosive confession during a European parliamentary Covid hearing. Small testified that neither she nor any other Pfizer officials knew whether its vaccine would stop transmission of Covid before entering the market last year.
The admission from Small emerged during questioning from Member of the European Parliament, Rob Roos.
Roos asked Small during a session: “Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market? Did we know about stopping immunization before it entered the market?” “No,” Small said in response, while seemingly laughing at the notion. “You know, we had to … really move at the speed of science to know what is taking place in the market.”
“We had to do everything at risk,” she added.
WATCH:
The bombshell admission from Small has provoked widespread international outrage.
MEP Roos appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday and elaborated further on “one of the biggest scandals of our time.”
“This has massive implications,” he said.
“Governments pushed millions of people worldwide to get vaccinated by telling them, telling you, to do it for your grandmother.
“Perfectly healthy young people [compelled] into taking this jab using false arguments.”
“Our government loves to talk about institutional discrimination,” Roos added.
“But this was real institutional discrimination. In many countries, like the U.S. And Italy, vaccine mandates were introduced for certain professions.
“Many people lost their job, their livelihood, their business because they stood by their principles.
“Austria even had a locked down for the unvaccinated because of this reason.
“The government literally imprisoned people within their own homes.
“All of this was based on the idea that vaccination helped prevent the spread of the virus.
“Otherwise, why should people [be] out of society?”
“This has now proven to be a big lie,” he said.
“Even the president – for international development market of Pfizer admits there was no scientific basis to say vaccination would stop the transmission of the virus.
“And I find this one of the biggest scandals of our time.
“The politicians responsible for this will be angry that people are looking back at this time, but I won’t forget what they did to millions of people, and if we are a democracy, we should have accountability, and that’s what I’m calling for.”
WATCH:
As Slay News reported, Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, recently pulled out of a scheduled hearing for October 10 before the same Covid-19 committee that revealed the recent bombshell.
The sudden withdrawal follows an audit report on the EU’s secret Covid-19 vaccine procurement strategy.
Republican senators are now publicly agreeing with the call to hold Big Pharma executives accountable for misleading the American people at tremendous cost to their lives and livelihoods.
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) confirmed plans to call pharmaceutical company CEOs before Congress.
“Outrageous,” Cruz responded to reports on Small’s testimony.
“These CEOs need to testify—under oath—before Congress.
“Next year, they will.
“And everyone who lied to the American people should be held accountable.”
A number of officials in the United States and around the world had claimed that vaccines could prevent Covid-19 transmission.
Among them were Democrat President Joe Biden, Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and other top federal health officials.
In July 2021, Biden remarked that “you’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations.”
Pfizer’s flagship Covid drug can have dangerous interactions with common medications, a review has found. Paxlovid gained emergency use authorization in the US in December last year as an antiviral drug to treat mild to moderate Covid in high-risk patients. It has been given to millions of vulnerable Americans with underlying health conditions — reducing their risk of death by up to 90 per cent. But Paxlovid can cause serious health problems when coupled with common heart disease medication such as statins and blood thinners.
Researchers from Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Harvard Medical School and other US institutions found the Covid drug can increase the risk of developing blood clots when taken with blood thinners.
It can also cause an irregular heartbeat when combined with drugs for heart pain and when taken alongside statins it can be toxic to the liver.
Dozens of medications such as aspirin are safe to take with Paxlovid, the researchers stress. But doctors need to be aware that other drugs can be dangerous and should be discontinued or adjusted while a patient is being treated for Covid.
When President Joe Biden, 79, tested positive for Covid and started Paxlovid in July, his physician Dr Kevin O’Connor temporarily stopped him from taking the statin Crestor and stroke prevention drug Eliquis.
Pfizer's CEO Dr Albert Bourla, 60, also took a course of Paxlovid when he caught the virus in August.
The anti-viral drug is intended for use by patients who are considered likely to become seriously ill from the deadly virus, such as elders and people with pre-existing conditions like heart disease.
Dr. Sarju Ganatra, director of the cardio-oncology program at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Massachusetts, said:
"Awareness of the presence of drug-drug interactions of Paxlovid with common cardiovascular drugs is key.
"System-level interventions by integrating drug-drug interactions into electronic medical records could help avoid related adverse events.
"The prescription of Paxlovid could be incorporated into an order set, which allows physicians, whether it be primary care physicians or cardiology providers, to consciously rule out any contraindications to the co-administration of Paxlovid.
"Consultation with other members of the health care team, particularly pharmacists, can prove to be extremely valuable.
"However, a health care provider’s fundamental understanding of the drug-drug interactions with cardiovascular medications is key."
Paxlovid is made of two antivirals, nirmatrelvir and ritonavir.
Dr Dan Barouch, director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, who was not involved in the new paper, told CNN: 'The second drug, ritonavir, is a nonspecific drug that inhibits metabolism and increases the dose of the other drug. "But the ritonavir in Paxlovid also can inhibit the metabolism of other drugs. So you have to be really careful when you prescribe Paxlovid for people who are on certain blood thinners, cardiac medications, statins and other drugs,” Barouch said. “So it’s not just a free pass." Paxlovid is intended for use by patients who are considered likely to become seriously ill from the deadly virus, such as seniors and people with pre-existing conditions like heart disease.
Millions of doses have been prescribed to Americans since it was rolled out this year. Which combos cause the worst side effects? Five of the most important cardiovascular drug interactions with Paxlovid to be aware of include: Antiarrhythmic agents Antiarrhythmic agents are used to manage abnormal heart rhythm. Many of these drugs are metabolized in a way that increases plasma levels when co-administered with Paxlovid. While it may be possible to start Paxlovid after 2-2.5-day temporary discontinuation of the antiarrhythmic agents, this may not be feasible from a practical standpoint.
The Lancet Covid-19 Commission published an article on Sept. 14, 2022 about the lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic. As of May 31, 2022, 6.9 million deaths from Covid-19 were reported, but the estimated excess death toll is 17.2 million, based on data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington. The report states that “this staggering death toll is both a profound tragedy and a massive global failure at multiple levels.”
The Commission identified six major areas of failures, namely failures of prevention, failures of rationality, failures of transparency, failures to follow normal public health practice, failures of operational cooperation, and failures of international solidarity.
Due to these failures, social sustainability goals were set back a few years and 17.2 million lives were lost.
What can we learn from these failures? I’d like to share my thoughts based on the six failure reasons raised by Lancet. First Lesson Learned: Failure of Prevention Many countries adopted aggressive methods to stop the spread of the virus, such as social distancing, lockdowns, vaccines, etc. But none of the methods hit the nail in the head, so to speak.
A SARS-CoV-2 human challenge experiment was done among young adults by researchers in the UK. Their paper was published in the March 2022 issue of Nature.
The study involved 36 healthy volunteers aged 18–29 without history of SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination. They were inoculated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus intranasally. During the experiment, two were excluded from the Per-Protocol analysis because baseline antibodies were detected. The results of 34 subjects were: 16 participants were infected (confirmed with PCR tests) with mild symptoms, 3 were infected (confirmed with PCR tests) but were asymptomatic, and 15 participants remained uninfected.
The reason why the 15 participants were not infected should be the key to prevention. In my view, this key is to strengthen people’s immune systems.
Humans have an intricate immune system, a comprehensive defense network against external invading substances. The first line of defense is the physical barriers such as skin, nose hair, tears, etc. They can block most pathogens from entering the body.
The second line of defense is the epithelial interferon barrier. When a virus enters an epithelial cell, the cell automatically activates its antiviral mechanism and produces interferon. Interferon is a natural enemy of viruses and sends instructions to coordinate cells to fight the virus and prevent it from replicating.
Even if the virus enters the blood, there are the innate and adaptive immune cells to protect us. These include the macrophages, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells in the blood, all of which play an important role in antiviral immunity.
No matter what type of disease we are facing, it is important to know that the pathogens are external factors, and it is the human body itself that determines whether we fall ill or not. After we identify and correct the problems in our immune system, those external factors won’t matter much.
Therefore, strengthening our innate immune functions is the key to prevent pandemic spread. Second Lesson Learned: Failure of Rationality Rationality refers to the ability to make decisions based on facts. In the process of vaccine development, irrationalities included blindly pushing the vaccine among the masses without a complete evaluation of its efficacy and safety.
There are many limitations with the vaccines.
Inability to prevent infection: Neutralizing antibodies are mainly produced in the human bloodstream, but not in the epithelial cells. Therefore, if the first two lines of defense were weakened, the virus could still enter the blood and cause infection. That is why the vaccine and antibody strategy is unable to prevent infection. Needs to be renewed: Vaccines need to be renewed along with...
An investigation of official statistics has found that the number of athletes who have died since the beginning of 2021 has risen exponentially compared to the yearly number of deaths of athletes officially recorded between 1966 and 2004. So much so that the monthly average number of deaths between January 2021 and April 2022 is 1,700% higher than the monthly average between 1966 and 2004, and the current trend for 2022 so far shows this could increase to 4,120% if the increased number of deaths continues, with the number of deaths in March 2022 alone 3 times higher than the previous annual average.
According to a scientific study conducted by the ‘Division of Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland which was published in 2006, between the years 1966 and 2004 there were 1,101 sudden deaths among athletes under the age of 35.
Source
Now, thanks to the GoodSciencing.com team, we have a comprehensive list of athletes who have collapsed and/or died since January 2021, a month after the first Covid-19 injection was administered to the general public.
Because it is such as long list we are not including it in this article so that full list can be accessed in full here.
The following chart shows the number of recorded athlete collapses and deaths between January 2021 and April 2022, courtesy of the linked list above –
As you can see there has undoubtedly been a rise from January 2021 onwards, the question is whether this was ordinary and to be expected.
In all between Jan 21 and April 22 a total number of 673 athletes are known to have died. This number could, however, be much higher. So that’s 428 less than the number to have died between 1966 and 2004. The difference here though is that the 1,101 deaths occurred over 39 years, whereas 673 recent deaths have occurred over 16 months.
The following chart shows the number of recorded athlete deaths in different time periods –
The yearly average number of deaths between 1966 and 2004 equates to 28. January 2022 saw 3 times as many athlete deaths as this previous annual average, as did March 2022. So this is obviously highly indicative of a problem.
The 2021 total equates to 394 deaths, 14x higher than the 1966 to 2004 annual average. The Jan to April 2022 total, a period of 4 months, equates to 279 deaths, 9.96x higher than the annual average between 1966 and 2004.
However, if we divide the 66 to 04 annual average by 3 to make it equivalent to the 4 months’ worth of deaths so far in 2022, we get 9.3 deaths. So in effect, 2022 so far has seen deaths 10x higher than the expected rate.
The following chart shows the monthly average number of recorded athlete deaths –
So between 1966 and 2004. the monthly average number of deaths equates to 2.35. But between January 2021 and April 2022, the monthly average equates to 42. This is an increase of 1,696%.
So why have we seen such a dramatic increase?
The answer most likely lies in the introduction of an experimental injection that was alleged to protect against Covid-19 disease but instead caused untold damage to the immune system and cardiovascular problems.
A study of 566 patients who received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines shows that signs of cardiovascular damage soared following the 2nd shot. The risk of heart attacks or other severe coronary problems more than doubled months after the vaccines were administered, based on changes in markers of inflammation and cell damage.

Patients had a 1 in 4 risk for severe problems after the vaccines, compared to 1 in 9 before. Their 5-year heart attack risk went from 11% to 25% thanks to the vaccines (that is a 227% increase).

The shocking revelation was made by a German MEP on October 10th, 2022 in the European Parliament at a Pfizer/BioNTech meeting about the vaccine’s controversial efficacy, pricing and clinical trials before it was applied to millions of citizens. EU. According to the German MEP Dr. Sylvia Limmer:
“80% of pregnant women who received the mRNA vaccine miscarried!” “You buried clinical trials on pregnant women and dead fetuses! 83% of the (vaccinated) pregnant women in this study lost their embryos.”
Pfizer CEO Albert Burla has canceled a testimonial before the European Parliament’s Covid-19 Select Committee, where he would answer difficult questions about how secret vaccine deals were made.
At the same meeting, N. Dupont-Aignan, president of the “Debout la France” party, member of the French parliament and presidential candidate, stressed:
“We understand well why Pfizer CEO Albert Burla refused to be heard by the European Parliament. A Pfizer spokesman admitted that his vaccine was not tested to prevent transmission of the virus. All vaccinated people are protected – this is a lie! A new scandal.”
After this revelation, all those suspended from work should be reinstated, according to another French political president, les Patriotes.
R. ROOS, MEP for the Netherlands, said: At the Covid hearing, the director of Pfizer admitted to me that “at the time of introduction, the vaccine had never been tested to see if it stopped the transmission of the virus.” This deprives any legal basis of the so-called. A covid passport that led to mass institutional discrimination… I consider it criminal and scandalous.”

A controversial Victorian Australia GP has been suspended over claims he’s been handing out fake Covid vaccine exemptions. The medical regulator is investigating his conduct, but his patients say he’s innocent.
Dr Mark Hobart has been forced to abandon his Sunshine North clinic, but his patients have refused to abandon him. “I just came here to show my doctor my support,” one patient said outside the clinic.
“He shouldn’t be having to go through this and what they spin about him, it’s not fair.”
Another patient said it was “a shame what they’ve done to him, because at the end of the day he really hasn’t done anything wrong.” But he has been suspended from practicing medicine anywhere in Australia as he’s investigated over the claims.
His office was raided by the Victorian health department on Wednesday.
The doctor has been working in the inner west for more than 30 years.
Now, some of his patients have been left in the lurch, unable to get an appointment or access their paperwork.
It’s unclear if Dr Hobart will be permitted to practice again.
The suspension will last as long as the investigation continues and can only be removed by the Medical Board of Australia or a tribunal.
Until then, his patients will need to find alternative care. Continue reading on 7news.com.au
The Justice Centre is pleased to announce that the Crown has dropped charges against former MPP Randy Hiller, former MP Derek Sloan, Pastor Heinrich Hildebrandt, and private citizen, Dan Stasko. The four men were allegedly involved in peaceful rallies against Covid measures in June 2021 and were charged with violating public health orders under the Reopening Ontario Act. After negotiations with Bally Hundal, a lawyer retained by the Justice Centre, the Crown dropped all charges, stating that prosecution was no longer in the public interest.
Ontario has implemented lockdowns since the beginning of the pandemic and placed significant restrictions on the right to peaceful protest. In June 2021, the four men were charged for participating in a peaceful demonstration in Norfolk, Ontario. There were approximately 200-300 people at this outdoor demonstration against the Covid measures implemented by the Ontario government.
Mr. Hillier, Mr. Sloan, Pastor Hildebrandt and Mr. Stasko were concerned with the Covid restrictions – health orders which significantly curtailed the right to peaceful protest. For exercising their Charter rights to assemble peacefully and protest the government measures, they were charged with offences carrying potential fines of $100,000 to each individual as well as up to one year in prison. “Peaceful demonstration is an essential pillar of a democratic society,” says Justice Centre lawyer Henna Parmar. “Citizens have the right to make their opinions known. We are pleased in this case to hear that the Crown will not proceed with prosecuting citizens who spoke out against harsh government lockdowns.” Continue reading on www.jccf.ca
Dr. Anthony Fauci said he's "keeping a completely open mind" about the origins of the pandemic. Fauci told an audience the Chinese government is "probably" hiding something about the origins of the virus.
But evidence so far "strongly favors a natural occurrence" over a lab leak.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says he's dedicated to "keeping a completely open mind" about how the coronavirus first emerged in Wuhan, China in 2019, but he still wishes he had more information to go on from the Chinese government.
Scientists and conspiracy theorists alike have been eager to find clear answers to the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus for years now. Still, no satisfactory nail-in-the-coffin evidence is pointing to one single, bulletproof explanation for where this pandemic began.
Did the virus emerge naturally in a bat or some other animal host, then hop from animals into people in a spillover event, possibly at a wet market? Many scientists say that's a strong possibility. Might it have leaked out of a lab somewhere? Also possible, but less likely. "You wanna keep an open mind that it could have been anything that happened," Fauci said Wednesday during a conversation with Atlantic editor Ross Andersen. "But the evidence that they have been working on for years strongly favors a natural occurrence." Fauci says the Chinese government could 'clear this up' if they really wanted to Andersen also asked Fauci whether he thought the Chinese government could help "clear this up" once and for all.
"Yeah," Fauci said.
But the doctor was careful to note that he was only referring to "Chinese authorities" stonewalling, and not average Chinese citizens, nor his scientific colleagues in China, who he said "have made major contributions to our knowledge." "The fact is, as a society, when something occurs that looks like — even if it's naturally coming out of China — they will be secretive about it," Fauci said of the Chinese government. "Because of this feeling that they're gonna get blamed for something." The same style of secretive cover-up happened in the early 2000s, during the first SARS outbreak. Even though "everybody agrees" that virus "unequivocally, beyond the shadow of a doubt" emerged from a bat, which passed the disease on to another animal (likely, at a wet market), before it got into to a human. Fauci recalls the painstaking efforts it took to get information on that outbreak from Chinese officials.
"They were as reticent to be open and truthful about things, because that's the way the leadership of the society is," he said.
As it happens, advisers to the National Institutes of Health, where Fauci works, met this week to discuss stricter oversight of lab experiments involving deadly viruses. Hiding information creates a perfect breeding ground for conspiracy theories, Fauci said "It's natural, totally natural for conspiracy people who are thinking it's a conspiracy to say, 'see? they're hiding something.'"
And, "they probably are," Fauci said, but it may not have anything to do with a lab leak at all.
A woman walks in front of the closed Huanan wholesale seafood market in Wuhan, China on January 12, 2020.
Perhaps the virus hopped from animals into humans at the wet market in Wuhan where clusters of illnesses first made news in late 2019.
Giving investigators access to those markets early on would have been invaluable to the quest for clear answers on where and how the pandemic began.
"Animals which were outlawed and not allowed to be in a market where people can be in contact with them were actually brought there because they bring in a lot of money," Fauci said. "That's the thing that you really want them to come clean on."
"If we were able to go and do surveillance easily in China, we would get a lot more information than we have now," he added. Continue reading on www.businessinsider.com
Although we know that the virus was a hoax (its a nanotechnology based bioweapon) and that the shots are really gene therapy, this study from Harvard does blow the mainstream vaccine narrative out of the water. As boosters that have not been tested on humans are being rolled out across the country, a new study indicates that the jab is far more dangerous than Covid-19 itself. And the CDC has provided false information regarding their tracking of adverse events linked to the vaccines.
As government officials and mainstream media urges the vaccinated to inject a second so-called “bivalent” booster said to be targeting the Omicron variant, it turns out that this substance hasn’t been tested on humans. And the only animal trial that has been performed included eight mice. “It hasn’t been proven in a clinical trial, because we don’t have time to do a clinical trial because we need to get the vaccine out now because we have such a situation throughout the world and certainly in the United States, we’re having 400 deaths per day and up to 5,000 hospitalizations a day,” NIAID Dr Anthony Fauci explained in an interview. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has also stated that the boosters must be expedited in order to work properly. A delay would potentially render the shots “outdated” as new variants would form, Walensky argues. Study: Worse than the Virus A new study conducted by scientists from Harvard and Johns Hopkins, currently in pre-print, reveals that the Covid-19 vaccines were up to 98 times worse than the virus itself.
The study is critical of the booster requirement for American university students, stating in the abstract: “Using CDC and sponsor-reported adverse event data, we find that booster mandates may cause a net expected harm: per Covid-19 hospitalization prevented in previously uninfected young adults, we anticipate 18 to 98 serious adverse events, including 1.7 to 3.0 booster-associated myocarditis cases in males, and 1,373 to 3,234 cases of grade ≥3 reactogenicity which interferes with daily activities.” False Information As first reported in the Epoch Times, CDC has provided false information regarding their tracking of adverse events caused by the vaccines. At the same time, Walensky admits that there is a causal relationship between the mRNA vaccines and myocarditis:
In a letter dated September 2 from CDC Director Rochelle Walensky to Senator Ron Johnson, the director states that “CDC consistently performs extensive data collection and analysis to detect potential adverse events and safety signals and then communicates this information to the public. For example, VAERS staff conducted assessments showing that causal associations exist between thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome and Janssen’s Covid-19 vaccine and between myocarditis and mRNA Covid-19 vaccination.”
In the same letter, Walensky also stated that the CDC did not analyze certain types of adverse event reports whatsoever in 2021, despite having previously stated that they did start this tracking in February of that year. Continue reading on dontspeaknews.com
A PR company that represents Pfizer and Moderna has staff 'embedded' in the CDC's vaccine division, it has emerged. New York-based firm Weber Shandwick has been responsible for elevating Pfizer's profile since at least 2006. It partnered with Moderna in June this year, after the small biotech firm became a household name following its vaccine success.
Yet questions are being raised about a possible conflict of interest as it emerged the company was hired by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during the pandemic to boost its 'health communication'.
It was involved in PR campaigns that encouraged Americans to get vaccinated against Covid.
But a spokesperson for Weber Shandwick told DailyMail.com it had a 'thorough vetting and mitigation process to avoid conflicts'.
Vaccine makers made more than $34billion in profits last year from the Covid jabs alone — equivalent to $1,000 a second, according to estimates. They are expected to make billions more from the bivalent booster jabs being rolled out this winter — with the US having bought 171million doses.
Today the updated shots — which tackle Omicron variants — got the green light for children as young as five years old. They are currently recommended for all over-12s.
The potential conflict of interest was brought to attention in a LinkedIn post by an employee of the PR firm last year.
They wrote on the social media site: 'So excited to be starting a new role today! I'm joining Weber Shandwick as an Account Director supporting a contract I know well, at the CDC's NCIRD!' Now FDA approves bivalent booster jab for children as young as FIVE Today the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded eligibility for the bivalent vaccine.
The new jab — made by Pfizer and Moderna — tops-up immunity as well as targeting variants BA.4 and BA.5.
It is currently being rolled out to everyone over the age of 12.
But today the FDA gave Moderna's the green light for children as young as six years, and Pfizer's for those as young as five.
Dr Peter Marks, heading up vaccine approval at the agency, said they had made the recommendation because of 'increased risk of exposure' after children go back to school.
The current booster campaign is sluggish, with less than six per cent of those who are eligible having come forward.
Another employee replied: 'Welcome back to the team!'
In 2020 Weber Shandwick also won an up to $50million contract from the US Government to promote flu vaccines to the public.
Its responsibilities included distributing social media posts and articles promoting vaccines, and sending press releases to the media.
It was also involved in 'paid media placement', a common euphemism for advertising.
The firm was employed by Moderna in June this year alongside two other PR firms to promote its mRNA vaccine - despite being a direct rival to Pfizer.
Weber Shandwick is also a long-time client of Pfizer's, having been brought on back in 2003 to assist with marketing around Viagra pills and other treatments.
Responding to DailyMail.com today, a spokesperson for Weber Shandwick said: 'We are proud of the important work we do to advance public health.
'When we work for organizations in the same sector, we have a thorough vetting and mitigation process to avoid conflicts, including legal review, separate and distinct teams and strong confidentiality protocols.'
DailyMail.com has approached the CDC for comment. Craig Holman, a lobbyist on Capitol Hill for Public Citizen, blasted the CDC today for the conflict of interest.
'This is irresponsible of CDC to issue a PR contract to Weber Shandwick,' he told the site DisInformation. 'Knowing that the firm also works for Moderna and Pfizer'. Pfizer and Moderna's jabs have formed the cornerstone of America's vaccine roll out, with more than 800million doses ordered at a cost of more than $10billion.
The two companies were also the only ones to sell updated bivalent...
GB News is facing a second investigation by the media regulator Ofcom over its coverage of the coronavirus vaccine. The latest investigation relates to an interview with the author Naomi Wolf in which she claimed women were being harmed by Covid-19 vaccines as part of an effort to “to destroy British civil society”.
Ofcom said it would investigate whether the program broke “rules designed to protect viewers from harmful material” after receiving more than 400 complaints from members of the public.
In the interview, which was originally broadcast on 4 October, Wolf also compared doctors’ support for the vaccine rollout to the behavior of the medical profession in Nazi Germany and described herself as the “last remaining independent journalist” willing to question this.
She was being interviewed on the Mark Steyn Show, which has repeatedly doubts over the safety of vaccines. Steyn’s claims that the jabs cause “every conceivable kind of damage” have been disputed by factchecking websites. He is already the subject of a separate Ofcom investigation over previous comments about vaccination.
Wolf began as prominent a feminist writer but in recent years her career has taken a hit after she wrote a book partly based on a misunderstanding of English court records. Since then she has veered into the world of conspiracy theories about the impact of 5G telephone masts and the coronavirus vaccine.
Presenter Matthew Sweet, whose BBC interview exposed the flaw in Wolf’s book, has since kept tabs on her work and GB News’s coverage of the pandemic and accused the channel of repeatedly “broadcasting misinformation about vaccines and presenting conspiracy theorists as legitimate experts on medical matters”.
In a letter to Sweet tweeted last month, GB News insisted that at no point had Steyn’s program adopted an “anti-vax” approach. Instead it said he was conducting probing journalism in the face of people who want GB News to be “more supportive of government policy”. Continue reading on www.theguardian.com
American Journal’s Harrison Smith talks to Dr Roger Hodkinson, an esteemed Canadian pathologist who estimates that the current global deaths directly attributable to the vaccine are at about 20 million, with an estimated 2 billion serious adverse reactions. He joined Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson in a video interview, where he discussed the horrifying number of global deaths. "These numbers are best estimates, at this point in time, using government data for the global consequences of the clot shot in terms of death and morbidity … Now, these numbers are beyond staggering. To contrast that with history, vaccines have typically been pulled from the market – the last one, the bird flu vaccine - was pulled with only 35 - three, five deaths.
"I hope people can appreciate the scale of what is going on here. An unimaginable carnage WHICH ISN’T OVER because that number – first of all, is the current estimate. It does not include future deaths of a similar type, which will be cumulative on top of that.
"It does not include stillbirths. It does not include those avoidable deaths due to having had a one-disease healthcare system for two and a half years, with people not being treated or investigated for cancer or treated for cancer, for example.
"Those numbers are not included. The numbers from the lockdowns, the suicides are not included. And also not included are the future deaths that we’re anticipating from a rapid increase in the rate of cancer presentations and fatal infections because of immune suppression induced by the clot shot. Those factors are IN ADDITION TO those jaw-dropping numbers that I just mentioned." https://rumble.com/embed/v1k5tiy/?pub=1fk9v5 Continue reading on forbiddenknowledgetv.net
Moderna and Merck will jointly develop and sell a cancer vaccine that is personalized for individual patients, the companies announced on Wednesday. Moderna’s vaccine, based on its messenger RNA technology, is being studied in combination with Merck’s Keytruda to treat patients with high-risk melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, in a phase 2 trial. The companies expect to report data in the fourth quarter of this year.
Moderna’s stock jumped 16% in morning trading.
Moderna’s vaccine is designed to trigger the immune system to deploy killer T cells that target the specific mutations of a patient’s tumors. Merck’s Keytruda is a monoclonal antibody, administered as an injection, that prevents certain cell proteins from stopping T cells from going on the attack.
The companies originally entered the agreement in 2016, but Merck is now exercising its option through a $250 million payment to Moderna. Merck will collaborate on the development and commercialization of the product. The companies will share all costs and profits equally.
Moderna became a household name during the pandemic after developing one of the most successful vaccines against Covid-19 in collaboration with the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
But the Covid vaccine is Moderna’s only commercially available product. The Boston biotech company is under growing pressure to demonstrate how its messenger RNA technology can be deployed against other diseases.
Moderna expects $21 billion in Covid vaccine sales this year as it rolls out new booster shots that target the omicron variant.
Keytruda is Merck’s biggest drug making up 35% of the company’s total sales in the second quarter. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat several different types of cancer. Continue reading on www.cnbc.com
Kaiser Permanente is both an insurance company and a healthcare provider company. It negotiates with employers once a year to set its health insurance rates. I wonder if Kaiser started getting worried at the amount of excess illness it was seeing. Once people are too sick to work, they lose their health insurance.
But what if they are somewhat sick, but keep working? What if their chronic, mystery illnesses consume a larger amount of medical care than Kaiser bargained for?
Kaiser might be willing to do a little truth-telling as it tries to calculate who is going to pay for this unexpected hit, which presumably did not stop in 2021, but continues apace.
Daniel Horowitz wrote an article on this topic for the Conservative Review and alerted me to a Kaiser preprint study, published Oct. 1. On page 30, you can see the table (below) that shows how well three shots worked for more than 120,000 Kaiser enrollees who were tested for Covid-19 during Omicron.
Kaiser did something unusual: It actually sequenced 16,418 positive Covid-19 samples to determine the Omicron subvariant with which the enrollees were infected.
What it found was that in 4 of 5 Omicron subvariants, by 150 days (five months) post-shot, efficacy had fallen into negative territory, and Kaiser’s thrice-vaccinated enrollees were more likely to get Covid-19 than the unvaccinated.

VE stands for vaccine efficacy (effectiveness). The vertical lines are at the zero efficacy mark.
You can see how efficacy drops quickly from the 14-30 days post-shot (which is the brief honeymoon period when the shots actually work), lower at one to three months, lower still at three to five months and after that you are screwed.
All the dots to the left of the line show negative efficacy — that is when you become more prone to getting a Covid-19 infection.
After five months, people were more likely to get a case of Omicron BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5 if they had been vaccinated. Each gray bar starts a new subvariant.
There are two graphs in the above chart. The one on the left compares the triple-vaxxed to the unvaxxed, while the graph on the right compares the triple-vaxxed to the double-vaxxed.
Even worse for the boosted, it seems that those with three shots are at more risk of Covid-19 after five months than those who only got two shots (this is on the right side of the graph).
So please stop. It gets worse with each jab. Continue reading on childrenshealthdefense.org
He received a text from his doctors surgery with the date and time for his Covid vaccination, which he duly attended. Little did he know of the consequences that would unfold as he followed the Government advice that the vaccine would “protect yourself and others”. Back in March 2021, 58 year-old father of two Anthony Shingler from Northwood was getting on with life enjoying his job as a security manager (admittedly stressful at times, he says, but it came with the job and he learned to live with it).
Within the first week following his vaccination he started to feel aches and pains, mostly in his legs. During the second week things were getting worse. He managed with work commitments up to the Friday, the end of his working week, but that Friday morning he was really having trouble walking and developed pins and needles and numbness in his feet and hands.
Tony was sent home by ‘Heath and Safety’ to get checked out by his GP. After ringing the surgery and being told they would contact him the next day, Tony and his wife Nicola decided to attend the local walk-in center, who assessed him sent and him to hospital A&E.
Following assessment, the hospital sent him home, saying he had an allergy. Tony has never had an allergy in his life, so found this odd. The next day he started to decline even further. Nicola called an ambulance which took Tony to hospital again; this time they discharged him with sciatica. He’d had sciatica before, so knew how this felt, which was not what he was experiencing, and what to do to diagnose it, which no one in the hospital had done.
Tony returned home, still not knowing why he was feeling so ill and could hardly walk. That same night he had tremendous lower back pain and by the morning he could hardly walk or breathe and could barely talk. Another ambulance was called; on this occasion they encountered a very abrupt and argumentative female paramedic, who didn’t want to listen to Nicola, which caused avoidable stress. On Tony’s third visit to hospital they finally admitted him after Nicola begged an A&E doctor over the phone to investigate transverse myelitis – she had researched and found this had temporarily halted the AstraZeneca trials. He was put on an assessment ward and monitored.
An MRI scan and lumber puncture revealed high proteins in CSF fluid. After asking the doctor what could cause this, he replied: “Double the amount of proteins leads me to believe the vaccine.” Doctors then examined Tony’s medical records and informed Tony: “We believe after reading thoroughly through your medical records and seeing that you have not suffered any previous viral infections, we’ve come to the conclusion that it is a vaccine related illnesses called GBS or Guillain-Barré Syndrome.” After five days in the assessment ward and having intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), Tony continued to deteriorate; the condition was now massively affecting his arms and lungs. Tony was assisted to phone home and was told to “say what you’ve got to say, as it may be the last time you see them” – words no one ever wants to hear.
Tony was rushed into ICU and fitted with a tracheotomy and ventilated, along with the insertion of a feeding peg and catheter. Tony pulled through but the battle wasn’t over.
This was the beginning of eight and half months in ICU. During Tony’s stay he had a collapsed lung, pneumonia and MRSA numerous times, all whilst being paralyzed from the chin down, unable to talk or move. It was a constant battle which played havoc with his mental well-being, on top of the Guillain-Barré Syndrome which caused burning pain all over his body as nerves throughout had been stripped of their protective cover.
One evening, during the summer of 2021, Tony noticed one of the fire escape doors in ICU was slightly ajar. He didn’t give it a second thought as the nurses did this on a regular basis whilst it was warm weather, and he always needed a fan on next to his bed due to the burning hot ...
Megan Akermanis, wife of three-time Brisbane Lions AFL flag-winner Jason Akermanis, was “perfectly healthy” before she found a lump a month ago. Two weeks later she had a double mastectomy after the shock breast cancer diagnosis.
With Megan now in recovery, Akermanis said his wife was “recovering well” but potentially needed further radiation therapy.
“It was really quick but could have been worse,” he said.
Akermanis told the Herald Sunhe was blown away by the courage of his wife who spent her 43rd birthday in hospital.
Noting that the diagnosis came as a shock to the otherwise healthy and active mother of three, Akermanis mentioned his suspicion about the timing of Megan’s discovery, wondering if the appearance of the lump could be related to her Covid vaccine.
There is no evidence to suggest vaccinated individuals are more susceptible to developing cancer.
Jason Akermanis, wife Megan and their children Charlotte, Sienna and Zoe.
“It happened straight after she had the Covid jab, and she felt a lump,” he said.
“It’s very strange. She’s one of the lowest-risk people on the planet, doesn’t drink much and is pretty active.
“It’s not spreading and it’s self-contained so she felt the safest option is a double mastectomy and she’ll undergo rebuilding in two to three months.”
Megan Akermanis had a double mastectomy after the shock breast cancer diagnosis just a month ago.
Now a real estate agent in Brisbane, Akermanis won a Brownlow Medal and three premierships with the Brisbane Lions before capping off his 421-game career at the Western Bulldogs.
Not one to bite his tongue, he has been a colorful character in the AFL, both on the field with his trademark celebratory handstands and off the field with his exploits in golf and opinion columns.
Jason Akermanis has had a colorful career on and of the field.
His writing on homosexuality in sport in 2010 saw him suspended from play by the Western Bulldogs for two matches amid public uproar.
Another column he penned in 2007 on performance-enhancing drugs saw publishers from Seven and Fairfax dish out defamation damages to West Coast Eagles player Michael Braun in 2007.
In 2019, Akermanis was reportedly banned from three Australian golf clubs for alleged cheating and run-ins with other players. He denied the clubs’ claims. Continue reading on www.news.com.au
During the Covid-19 EU hearing, Pfizer’s president of international developed markets, Janine Small, admitted that the vaccine had never been tested on its ability to prevent transmission, contrary to what was previously advertised. Robert “Rob” Roos, a politician from the Netherlands who is also a member of the European Parliament, exposed the lie that people from all over the world had been led to believe. “If you don’t get vaccinated, you’re antisocial. This is what the Dutch prime minister and health minister told us. You don’t get vaccinated just for yourself, but also for others. You do it for all of society, that’s what they said. Today, this turned out to be complete nonsense. ” Roos said in his viral bombshell video posted on Twitter. “In a Covid hearing in the European Parliament, one of the Pfizer directors just admitted to me at the time of introduction, the vaccine had never been tested on stopping the transmission of the virus,” Roos said.
In one of the most atrocious crimes against humanity, all the governments worked together with big pharma and big tech to deceive the general public into taking the Covid shot.
They lied to us. They coerced millions of people into being vaccinated on the lie of preventing transmission.
“This removed the entire legal basis for the covert passport. The Covid passport that led to massive institutional discrimination as people lost access to essential parts of society. I find this to be shocking, even criminal,” Roos added.
During the hearing, when asked by Ross if the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market, Janine Small responded while smiling:
“Regarding the question around did we know about stopping immunization before it entered the market? No. We have to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market.”

Remember when the globalists and elites told us to take the vaccine to stop the transmission? This is scandalous.

We know now that the vaccine will not stop the infection. It is also not safe and effective.
Florida Surgeon General released a shocking report on Friday. According to Dr. Joseph Ladapo, there was an 84% increase in the incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. That is a huge number!
Dr. Ladapo recommended that young males from 18 to 39 refrain from taking the Covid Vaccine.
Continue reading on www.thegatewaypundit.com
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo expressed concern Monday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" after Twitter initially removed his post identifying cardiac-related risks from the Covid vaccine. The Florida Department of Health recommended Friday that men ages 18-39 not get the vaccine. Twitter restored the post and Ladapo's account on Sunday morning. "It's an enormous deal. … If it had been known two years ago or so that this vaccine would increase cardiac deaths in young men by 84%, would they have approved it? The obvious answer is no," Dr. Ladapo told Tucker Carlson. The analysis conducted by the Department of Health in Florida showed an "84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males, 18 to 39 years old within 28 days following the mRNA vaccination."
Twitter released a statement after removing the tweet saying that their "current misleading information policies cover: synthetic and manipulated media, Covid-19, and civic integrity."
"If we determine a Tweet contains misleading or disputed information per our policies that could lead to harm, we may add a label to the content to provide context and additional information," Twitter stated.
Carlson asked why other states are not pursuing similar studies.
Ladapo answered that he sees it as "a reflection of how many things have been so backwards during the pandemic."
"You would never give something to someone who was young and healthy and increase their risk of dying from sudden cardiac death by 84%. But the response is, 'well, you know, Covid is pretty bad.' Yes, Covid can be terrible, but we don't give people medications that kill them. So there's been so much confusion. But yes, that was our finding and it was a surprise. But that's what the numbers show," he added.
Ladapo disagreed in June with the FDA's decision to approve the Covid-19 vaccine for kids under the age of five.
In February, the CDC said males ages 12-39 should wait longer between vaccine doses to lessen the risk of cardiac inflammation.
The "mRNA Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective at the FDA-approved or FDA-authorized intervals, but a longer interval may be considered for some populations. While absolute risk remains small, the relative risk for myocarditis is higher for males ages 12-39 years, and this risk might be reduced by extending the interval between the first and second dose," the agency said.

The latest data from Pfizer proves that the company’s original “vaccine” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) does not strengthen immunity – quite the opposite, in fact. In an effort to promote its new and supposedly improved injection for the Omicron (i.e., Moronic) variant of the Fauci Flu, Pfizer is now admitting that its original mRNA (messenger RNA) injections turn negative within 30 days – meaning they degrade immunity and leave a person worse off in terms of immune function.
“We have been sold an antivaccine as a vaccine,” is how one concerned reader of Exposé News put it.
An Exposé investigation into the claim revealed that the original Pfizer mRNA shot degrades the immune system at a rate in excess of 10 percent per month.
Vaccine-induced AIDS, or VAIDS, is another way to refer to what these shots do to people’s immune systems. Instead of providing true and lasting protection against covid, the shots destroy natural immunity over time, leaving a person defenseless against disease. Covid shots alter DNA, damage immunity and ultimately result in DEATH Exposé‘s investigation found that double-injected people were losing immunity against the so-called Delta variant at a rate of five percent per week. This is why they were dubbed Trojan horse vaccines.
“They offer an initial immunity against a variant, but they also progressively destroy your immune system to the point where that initial immunity is wiped out,” Exposé reports.
“Then they continue said destruction until the point where your immune system kills most of the vaccinated spike-producing cells.”
In other words, the shots induce autoimmunity, meaning the body’s immune system begins to attack and destroy itself because it detects spike proteins all over healthy cells.
“Some people die before that point (from cardiovascular disease, from neurodegenerative disease, from spike infected organ failure, from sepsis, from turbo cancers, etc.) as we have seen from the excess mortality figures,” Exposé notes. “Others lose a significant percentage of their immune function against viruses in a manner which may not be reversible since the DNA vaccines of AstraZeneca and J&J are obviously gene-altering and the mRNA vaccines have as many modifications as humans know how to make, in order to render what should be temporary RNA almost permanent (N1 Methyl Pseudouridine for Uracil etc.).” That fake uracil, it is important to note further, is not identified by the cell as genetic material. If it gets incorporated into other cell processes, fake uracil has the capacity to turn off immunity or induce genetic disorders, eventually resulting in early death.
The new jab from Pfizer also destroys immunity, just to be clear. The company claims it to be an upgrade from the initial shots, but both batches are highly destructive to cells and the immune system. “Adding the old vax diverts some of the B lymphocyte capacity to make Omicron neutralizing antibodies into making totally useless antibodies against a computer generated spike protein (Wuhan Hu1) that has never been isolated, was most likely never in circulation and most likely has more to do with Peter Daszak, Tony Fauci and Moderna, than it does with Wuhan,” Exposé alleges. “Every Pfizer vaccination taken by every human on the planet prior to September 2022 has systematically destroyed their immune response at an initial rate greater than 14% per month … Every Pfizer-vaccinated person has VAIDS.” Continue reading on www.planet-today.com
The sinking ship of the mandate enthusiasts took on more water last month with the publication of a powerhouse paper by some of the world’s top bioethicists (from Oxford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Toronto). Drawing on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and sponsor-reported adverse event data, the authors claim that booster mandates at universities are wrong because expected net harms for this age group significantly outweigh public health benefits. The authors estimate, for example, that 22,000 to 30,000 previously uninfected adults aged 18 to 29 must be boosted with an mRNA vaccine to prevent one Covid-19 hospitalization. And the cost of preventing that single hospitalization is an anticipated 18 to 98 serious adverse events.
This paper is the evidential manna-from-heaven that those fighting the mandates have been praying for. Thank goodness it came along when it did to undercut the intoxicating public health message that the mRNA vaccines are the only way to save the human race from Covid-19.
But, with all its strengths, I worry that the paper misses the larger point about why vaccine mandates are wrong. It’s still playing at the collectivist cost-benefit game, a morally flawed game with rules that normatively privilege the group over the individual and assign no absolute value to the right of self-governance.
Playing skillfully at the collectivist’s game is just another form of defeat.
Enthusiasts often say that mandates are justified because they prevent actual harm to others while posing either no harm to the individual or only a small risk of harm (from possible side effects, which they take to be negligible by comparison). Weighing the risk of harm against actual harm always yields a net benefit, and therefore obligation, to vaccinate.
But this isn’t true. Being vaccinated under duress or due to coercion constitutes not just a risk of harm but actual harm to one’s bodily autonomy and therefore to personhood. There’s nothing more defining of human life, and nothing so essential for making life worth living, as our capacity for rational agency, which is as valuable as life itself. Bodily autonomy—the right to governance over one’s own body—isn’t a mere “nice-to-have”; it’s the rational expression of the capacities that make us who and what we are.
As Australian ethicist Michael Kowalik writes (pdf), “Agent-autonomy with respect to self-constitution has absolute normative priority over reduction or elimination of the associated risks to life.” The person who is vaccinated against her better judgment doesn’t just risk the harm of side effects; she suffers actual and enduring harm to the capacities that make human life possible. Why don’t mandate enthusiasts see this?
Because the only measure of integrity we understand in our science-obsessed culture is physical integrity: the functional unity of our physical bodies. Our culture understands how viruses wreak havoc in the body but not how moral injury wreaks havoc in the soul. And so we leave no room for the assignment of disvalue to assaults on personal autonomy and integrity.
We don’t need to wait to find out how the cost-benefit balance sheet will look this fall or in 2023 or …. Vaccine mandates are wrong now. They were wrong early in 2021. And they will be wrong at any point in the future when epidemiological or cultural shifts cause us to circle around to this issue again.
Vaccine mandates are wrong not because they fail to generate a net benefit or because the risks to vaccinated persons outweigh public health benefits (though both are true).
They are wrong because they trample on the very thing the noblest version of a liberal democratic society should be trying to create. If our society is to be great, it must aspire to more than safety or, more accurately, the perception of safety. Its starting point must be an absolute commitment to creating the largest sphere possible for each person to live with bodily and mental integ...
That's right folks, the Covid industry, for that is what it is, ramps up the fear mongering for another season of mask mandates, social distancing rules and vaccine tyranny. We might be in the middle of an economic crisis, the world might be being held to ransom by Vladimir Putin and his illegal invasion of Ukraine and hard pressed Brits may well be going through cost of living hell, as mortgage rates rise and thanks to inflation pay packets dwindle.
So we've got a few problems. But that's not enough to silence Covid zealots, hellbent on more restrictions this winter.
And who better to kick off this season of needless fear mongering than the state broadcaster itself the BBC – a service so good you risk jail if you don’t pay for it.
The Beeb’s obsession with Covid at the expense of everything else was pointed out by pointed out by former ONS statistician Jamie Jenkins this week.
"A rise in Covid cases and Hugh Pym at the BBC is all over it for the main news bulletin even when there’s little impact on serious illness - for the majority. "Excess deaths for months for non Covid reasons in under 60s, and nothing on main news that I’ve seen. Selective BBC reporting just shocking." Isn’t it wonderful that we are paying through the nose – 160 quid a year, for this mental torture.
And powerful groups, like independent Sage, who are the sectarian wing of normal sage will stop at nothing until we're all masked, working from home, socially-distanced, sanitized and freshly jabbed.
At this point, hearing these siren voices calling for more restrictions is just a sick joke, given the damage these people have inflicted on our country – two and a half years of experimental lockdowns that show no discernible benefit to countries and regions that stayed open and carried on as normal.
We borrowed half a trillion quid to pay perfectly healthy people to stay at home, and we closed once viable businesses. All at the behest of those who thought you could control a seasonal respiratory virus.
Well, the data is in, the numbers are there for all to see, and the graphs are clear. Stop it we did not. Can you imagine if we had more economy destroying measures in the months to come?
We are surely just a couple of lockdowns away from being so broke as a country, we will be deciding which of our offspring to eat first.
Hearing from these destructive voices again, who should be hanging their heads in shame, is like the sound of your abuser, once again tapping on the bedroom door.
Forget about zero Covid, it's my view that there should be zero measures ever again.
We spent two and a half years protecting the NHS, who decided to focus exclusively on one disease, which is why we have a waiting list of up to 12 million people, many suffering far more serious illnesses like cancer, bipolar disorder and diabetes, all waiting for treatment.
Environmentally catastrophic masks remain woefully unconvincing in relation to real-world data and their impact – just compare countries that masked up and those that didn't, States in America that masked up and didn't and show me how those filthy rags in anyway moved the dial.
They did not. Those masks are already back in hospitals.
But mark my words, the mask mandates will return, economically damaging work from home directives will kick in and vaccine tyranny, will no doubt rear its ugly head.
Although it's hard to sell now, given that Denmark have effectively banned the vaccine for anyone under 50 – you've got to have a doctors note and evidence of a serious medical condition to get the job. And Norway have done the same, for the under 65s. If you are under 65 in Norway you will not be able to get boosted.
Why would that be? I wonder if the Norwegians and the Danes and are concerned about both the efficacy of the vaccine – in other words if it works, and the safety. Perhaps they've been looking at a report published in the Lancet from the University of Oxford,
The UK Government has published official figures on deaths following Covid-19 vaccination and they reveal that 1 in every 482 Covid-19 vaccinated people in England sadly died within one month of Covid-19 vaccination, 1 in every 246 Covid-19 vaccinated people in England sadly died within 60 days of Covid-19 vaccination, and 1 in every 73 Covid-19 vaccinated people were dead by May 2022. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UK’s largest independent producer of official statistics and the recognised national statistical institute of the UK, and on the 6th July, they published a dataset containing a whole host of horrifying data on deaths by vaccination status in England between 1st Jan 2021 and 31st May 2022.
Table 9 of the dataset contains figures on ‘Whole period counts of all registered deaths grouped by how many weeks after vaccination the deaths occurred; for deaths involving Covid-19 and deaths not involving Covid-19, deaths occurring between 1 January 2021 and 31 May 2022, England’.
Here’s a snapshot of how the ONS presents the data–
According to the Office for National Statistics between 1st Jan 21 and 31st March 22, a total of 9,891 people died with Covid-19 within 1 month of vaccination, and a total of 82,255 people died of any other cause within 1 month of vaccination.
This means that in all, 92,146 people died within one month of Covid-19 vaccination between January 2021 and May 2022.
The following chart shows the overall number of deaths within 60 days of Covid-19 vaccination in England between 1st Jan 2021 and 31st May 2022–
According to the Office for National Statistics between 1st Jan 21 and 31st May 2022, a total of 14,103 people died with Covid-19 within 60 days of vaccination, and a total of 166,556 people died of any other cause within 60 days of vaccination. This means that in all, 180,659 people died within 60 days of Covid-19 vaccination between January 2021 and May 2022 in England.
The following chart shows the overall number of deaths following Covid-19 vaccination in England between 1st Jan 2021 and 31st May 2022 based on the figures provided by the ONS –
According to the Office for National Statistics between 1st Jan 21 and 31st May 22, a total of 41,117 people died with Covid-19 following Covid-19 vaccination, and a total of 565,420 people died of any other cause following Covid-19 vaccination. This means that in all, 606,537 people sadly died by 31st May 2022 following Covid-19 vaccination. Continue reading on expose-news.com
A U.S. Army pilot who reluctantly received a Covid-19 vaccination has been reprimanded and denied promotion — and could still face discharge and the loss of his wings - after questioning the vaccine and filing complaints about allegedly biased investigations of him, according to his wife and her attorney. Jessica Hill-Budge, the wife of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brandon Budge in the 7th Infantry Division’s 16th Combat Aviation Brigade, told Just the News that her husband is likely to lose his nearly 20-year military career due to improperly conducted official investigations of his case.
While Budge never said he wouldn’t get the Covid vaccine, he was initially hesitant to receive it, asking questions about the lawfulness of the mandate, inquiring about religious accommodation requests, and hoping to wait until at least 90 days had passed since he contracted the virus before getting the shot, said Hill-Budge’s attorney, R. Davis Younts.
Budge came down with Covid in March 2021 and was supposed to deploy to South Korea that September. However, if he wasn’t vaccinated, he was told, he would have to quarantine for two weeks. His wife was pregnant at the time with their seventh child, so he wanted to avoid quarantining lest he miss the birth of their son.
Towards the end of summer 2021, Budge went to a clinic for another matter, but the medic, thinking she was helping him, falsified his record without his knowledge to show that he received the Covid vaccine, Younts said. Budge got the shot soon after and learned that his records showed he had already received it.
He inquired about the inaccurate record and was told that the medic was under investigation, but he himself wasn’t. It turned out he actually was under investigation, but investigators didn’t inform him or read him his rights when they interviewed him, according to Younts. Because of the investigation, Budge was flagged and not deployed to South Korea.
The investigation into the falsified vaccine record didn’t take into account Budge’s evidence or witness testimony proving that he received the vaccine, Hill-Budge and Younts said. Despite this, the investigation concluded in November 2021, and Budge received a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand in December.
In January 2022, Budge filed an inspector general complaint about the handling of the investigation, but nothing was done about it, Younts said. Budge was told by his battalion commander that there were “gaping holes” in the investigation and that mistakes had been made, Budge-Hill added. The commander said that he hoped future investigations would be conducted better because this was one of the worst he’d seen.
Budge was told in February that there would be a Flying Evaluation Board, which would determine whether or not he could keep his wings, meaning remain able to fly. That same month Budge was supposed to receive a promotion to Chief Warrant Officer 4, but because he was flagged due to the falsified vaccine records, he never received it.
In March, Budge filed another inspector general complaint, but this time, it was over the board. The board was picked by Budge’s brigade commander in response to the January complaint, Younts alleges, so Budge filed the second inspector general complaint for reprisal and retaliation.
The board accepted the evidence that Budge provided them and in April exonerated him regarding the falsified vaccine records, recommending that he keep his wings. Despite this, Budge has still not received his promotion, and the reprimand he received in December has not been revoked, said Hill-Budge and Younts. He also has not been allowed to fly, which means he is not up to date on his required flight hours.
Younts said that the commander overseeing the investigations chose to ignore the board’s recommendation partly because of Budge’s second inspector general complaint. Adverse actions are not supposed to be taken against a service member for filing an inspector ge...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is urging healthcare workers in the U.S. to consider Ebola when patients have symptoms, while airport officials are also screening passengers from Uganda for the deadly disease. The CDC issued a health advisory late last week to raise awareness of an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Uganda caused by Sudan virus. The alert stresses that there are no suspected, probable, or confirmed cases of Ebola related to the outbreak in the U.S., but the CDC is reminding physicians about best practices around Ebola to “raise awareness” of the outbreak. The advisory notes that there is no vaccine licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to protect against this strain of Ebola, and that the current Ebola vaccine licensed in the U.S. is “not expected to protect against Sudan virus or other viruses in the Ebolavirus genus.” The advisory also points out that there is currently no FDA-approved treatment for the Sudan virus strain of Ebola. As a result of the outbreak in Uganda, CDC officials ordered airport screenings for passengers arriving from Uganda and the state department followed that with a health alert that said all people arriving to the U.S. from Uganda—including Americans—will need to be screened for Ebola “out of an abundance of caution.”
It’s understandable to have questions about Ebola based on all of this. Here’s what you need to know about Ebola virus. Ebola outbreak 2022 details On Sept. 20, Uganda’s Ministry of Health declared an outbreak of Ebola virus disease due to Sudan virus in the country’s Mubende District, per the CDC. The first confirmed case of Ebola in this outbreak was of a 25-year-old man who was hospitalized and isolated with Ebola-like symptoms that were later confirmed to be from the disease. He died the same day. Once health officials investigated his contacts, they discovered that there were a cluster of unexplained deaths in his community from the previous month. As of last week, there have been 44 confirmed cases of Ebola, 10 confirmed deaths, and 20 probable deaths from the virus in Uganda from this outbreak.
This is actually the fifth outbreak of Ebola from the Sudan virus in Uganda since 2000. What is Ebola? Ebola, aka Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), is a rare and deadly disease that occasionally causes outbreaks that usually happen in Africa, the CDC explains.
Ebola causes severe bleeding and organ failure, and is often deadly.
The virus was first discovered in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, although scientists aren’t sure where the virus comes from. Symptoms Symptoms of Ebola usually show up between eight and 10 days after a person is infected, the CDC says, and they usually progress from “dry” symptoms like a fever, aches, and pains, to “wet” symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting.
Symptoms usually include:
Fever Aches and pains Weakness and fatigue Sore throat Loss of appetite Stomach pain Diarrhea Vomiting Unexplained bleeding or bruising
Vaccine There is a vaccine to prevent one type of Ebola - the FDA approved the Ebola vaccine rVSV-ZEBOV, aka Ervebo, in late 2019. However, the vaccine only targets Zaire ebolavirus, which has caused the biggest and most deadly Ebola outbreaks so far, the CDC points out. How does Ebola spread? Ebola spreads through direct contact with blood or body fluids of a person who is sick or has died from the virus, objects that have been contaminated with body fluids from a person who is sick, infected fruit bats or non-human primates, and sex from a man who recovered from the virus (it can remain in body fluids), the CDC says.
Ebola is “not very contagious,” though and “can be halted with simple precautions when dealing with infected, symptomatic patients,” says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
A big thing to note: The virus “only becomes contagious one the in...
A national survey conducted in the United States suggests public honesty and compliance were lacking in the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic. Just over 40 percent of 1,733 adult respondents admitted to breaking quarantine rules or misrepresenting the preventative measures they were taking to reduce viral spread.
A quarter of respondents told someone they were with – or intended to be with – that they were taking more precautions to avoid contracting SARS-CoV-2 than they were in reality.
Meanwhile, 22.5 percent confessed to breaking quarantine rules, and 21 percent avoided testing for Covid-19 even when they suspected they might have it.
When entering a doctor's office, 20 percent of those who completed the survey said they omitted mentioning if they thought they had, or knew they had the virus.
There are multiple reasons respondents gave for their dishonesty and non-compliance.
Some wanted their lives to feel 'normal'. Others wanted to exercise their freedom, or they believed personal information on their state of health was private.
Many said they were following guidance from a public figure they trusted, whether that be a politician, scientist, news presenter, or celebrity.
When vaccine requirements were later enstated in numerous states and businesses, many respondents admitted to lying about their vaccination status. Reasons included: "I didn't think Covid-19 was real", "I didn't think Covid-19 was a big deal", "I didn't want someone to judge or think badly of me", and "I needed to be able to attend college classes". "Some individuals may think if they fib about their Covid-19 status once or twice, it's not a big deal," says population health scientist Angela Fagerlin from the University of Utah.
"But if, as our study suggests, nearly half of us are doing it, that's a significant problem that contributes to prolonging the pandemic."
The goal of the survey was to figure out where the US might have gone wrong when it came to handling Covid-19, and one of the authors, Alistair Thorpe, recognizes in a video accompanying the study that there are systemic factors that influence dishonestly and noncompliance among the public.

The Covid-19 pandemic has shown the world how important it is to create clear, consistent and achievable public health measures. It's also essential to ensure the public understands the consequences if these measures are not followed.
In New Zealand, for instance, an online survey published last year found that the nation's super-strict lockdown gave many people a greater sense of positive mental health.
The community spirit and cohesion exhibited during these trying times tended to relieve people of stress. Taking actionable measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19 also appeared to give the public a greater sense of control.
"This reasoning highlights the crucial role of clear government messaging," researchers of the New Zealand survey wrote.
"The New Zealand government provided daily updates on case numbers, recoveries, and testing; the high transparency received international recognition."
The US government handled the coronavirus outbreak in a very different way. On 3 February 2020, the Trump administration declared a public health emergency. By March 13, the spread of a novel coronavirus was deemed a national emergency and a travel ban was put into place for non-residents flying from Europe.
For two months, from late April to late June, the White House Coronavirus Task Force did not hold a press briefing.
During this time, testing and quarantining requirements were left up to individual states, and in many cases, stay-at-home orders were suggestions, not mandatory.
One of the biggest problems was a lack of financial relief for those who couldn't work from home. Employers in the US are also not federally required to provide sick leave, forcing many with the virus to leave home to receive a paycheck.
Informed consent was impossible. This toxic soup should never have been injected into humans. Dr. Robert Malone received the leaked document from Italian activists. Direct link to leaked document. Intact mRNA Contradicting reports in the BMJ that 70-75% of the mRNA in the vaccine was intact, this agreement shows only 50% of the mRNA was intact per specification. So up to 50% of the mRNA in the shot can be truncated, modified, recombined junk. Such randomly modified mRNA could lead to production of random proteins against which an immune response can be created.
The immune system attacking random proteins would result in a wide range of vaccine induced diseases including autoimmunity, allergies, cancer, etc. thus requiring 9 pages to describe Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI).
And as Dr. Meryl Nass pointed out, this 50% spec. only applies when tested at their factory. It could be even lower by the time it is injected.
Apart from the 30 mcg of spike protein encoding mRNA, a 0.3 ml vaccine dose contains a total of up to 2.5*0.3=0.75 mg of RNA.
Bacterial proteins The leaked document confirms the presence of bacterial endotoxins in the vaccine. The mRNA vaccines are manufactured using E. coli bacteria. So E. coli proteins and endotoxins contaminate the vaccine.
I previously described the consequences of E. coli protein contamination including induction of autoimmune diseases of the cardiovascular system, type 1 diabetes, ALS, etc.
Usually vaccines are described as sterile.
Not the case for this Pfizer vaccine which can contain live microorganisms (including E. coli? “bioburden” ) up to 1 CFU/10ml. DNA Contamination
In 1985, the FDA came up with an arbitrary limit of 10 pg residual DNA contamination per dose.
There was no science behind the 10 pg limit. It is based on the number fingers in a pair of human hands. If this guy were working at the FDA, he would have set the limit to 12 pg.
This arbitrary 10 pg limit had been arbitrarily increased 1000-fold to 10 ng by 1996. You would expect that with improved technology, vaccines would get cleaner with time. But with no liability, they become dirtier to increase profit.
The Pfizer vaccine contains up to 330 ng DNA /mg of RNA. Since each dose of the vaccine contains up to 0.75mg of RNA, each dose can contain up to ~250 ng of residual DNA.
This is ~25X the amount of residual DNA contamination allowed in the Flublok vaccine.
Other Contaminants Ethanol and dsRNA are other newly disclosed contaminants.
And even this leaked document does not list all contaminants such as aeroallergens.
With all these hidden ingredients not disclosed in the FDA’s “fact sheet” or package insert, informed consent was impossible. This was a coercive medical experiment on humans, in violation of the Nuremberg code, based on fraudulent claims that the product was safe and effective.

Biden administration officials must have been absolutely apoplectic following Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo’s recommendation against mRNA Covid-19 vaccines for men aged 18 to 39. The Florida Department of Health announced Ladapo’s new guidance regarding Covid-19 mRNA vaccines in a late Friday news release. The release stated said the department had “conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series … [and] found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination.”
The Covid-19 vaccinations developed by both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are mRNAs.
A self-controlled case series, according to the department, “is a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety.”
The new vaccine guidance advises that individuals “with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when making this decision.” “With a high level of global immunity to Covid-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks,” the report said. “Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an important component of public health,” Ladapo said in the news release. “Far less attention has been paid to safety and the concerns of many individuals have been dismissed – these are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians.”
In a Twitter post published the same day as the news release, Ladapo wrote that “FL will not be silent on the truth.”
The objective of the study was “to evaluate the risks of all-cause and cardiac-related mortality following Covid-19 vaccination.”
It included Floridians aged “18 years or older who died within 25-weeks of Covid-19 vaccination since the start of the vaccination roll-out (December 15, 2020).” The study ended on June 1 of this year.
It excluded those who had a documented Covid-19 infection, had a Covid-19 associated death, had received a booster, or if they’d received their last Covid-19 vaccination after December 8, 2021, which would “ensure each individual had the 25-week follow-up period to experience the event of interest.”
The study concluded that Covid-19 vaccination “was not associated with an elevated risk for all-cause mortality. Covid-19 vaccination was associated with a modestly increased risk for cardiac-related mortality 28 days following vaccination. Results from the stratified analysis for cardiac-related death following vaccination suggests mRNA vaccination may be driving the increased risk in males, especially among males aged 18 – 39. Risk for both all-cause and cardiac-related deaths was substantially higher 28 days following Covid-19 infection. The risk associated with mRNA vaccination should be weighed against the risk associated with Covid-19 infection.”
This was a bold move that will not be received well by Biden administration officials. After all, what do these findings say about their unconstitutional and immoral vaccine mandate?
While many Americans were delighted that a Covid-19 vaccine had become available, others were more skeptical.
Naturally, that didn’t stop the Biden administration from issuing a nationwide vaccine mandate, forcing many Americans to either submit to a vaccine or lose their job.
It’s long past time for someone to acknowledge the growing number of reports about seemingly healthy young males who die suddenly after receiving an mRNA vaccine.
Let the games begin. Continue reading on www.westernjournal.com
A new policy update from PayPal will permit the firm to sanction users who advance purported “misinformation” or present risks to user “wellbeing.” The financial services company, which has repeatedly deplatformed organizations and individual commentators for their political views, will expand its “existing list of prohibited activities” on November 3. Among the changes are prohibitions on “the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials” that “promote misinformation” or “present a risk to user safety or wellbeing.” Users are also barred from “the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.”
The company’s current acceptable use policy does not mention such activities. The Daily Wire reached out to PayPal for definitions of the added terms, although no response was received in time for publication.
Deliberations will be made at the “sole discretion” of PayPal and may subject the user to “damages” — including the removal of $2,500 “debited directly from your PayPal account.” The company’s user agreement contains a provision in which account holders acknowledge that the figure is “presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages” due to the administrative cost of tracking violations and damage to the company’s reputation.
“Under existing law, PayPal has the ability as a private company to implement this type of viewpoint-discriminatory policy,” Aaron Terr, a senior program officer at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, explained to The Daily Wire.
“Whatever motivation PayPal has for establishing these vague new categories of prohibited expression, they will almost certainly have a severe chilling effect on users’ speech. As is often the case with ill-defined and viewpoint-discriminatory speech codes, those with unpopular or minority viewpoints will likely bear the brunt of these restrictions.”
The move comes days after PayPal canceled three accounts linked to Toby Young, a commentator who runs a nonprofit called Free Speech Union. The organization has defended clients such as actor and comedian Russell Brand, who recently moved his show from YouTube to Rumble in reaction to censorship from the former platform.
Roughly one-third of Free Speech Union members rely upon PayPal to process their membership dues — although the company gave no explanation to Young for the suspension beyond mentioning a breach of the acceptable use policy. PayPal later restored the accounts after receiving criticism from lawmakers and apologized to Young for “any inconvenience caused,” according to a report from The Telegraph.
Platforms such as Amazon, Twitter, and Facebook have formerly censored conservatives and others who subscribe to heterodox positions on controversial social issues, including transgenderism and homosexuality. GoFundMe seized millions in funds raised for trucker protests in Canada earlier this year, while Google recently began suppressing search results for crisis pregnancy centers. “These kinds of policies are unwise, threaten free speech, and invite legal risk,” Jeremy Tedesco, vice president of corporate engagement at Alliance Defending Freedom, told The Daily Wire. “When companies apply policies to restrict the religious speech of their customers, they could run afoul of prohibitions on religious discrimination that exist in many state and federal laws.” PayPal has also sanctioned Gays Against Groomers, a group that opposes the sexualization of children, as well as evolutionary biologist Colin Wright and journalist Ian Miles Cheong. The company featured a rainbow-colored banner on its social media platforms during the month of June affirming that the platform is “open for all” — and PayPal U.K. still sports the banner.
“Whatever PayPal’s intentions may be, censorship and chilling free speech is precisely the effect of these kinds of vaguely worded policies,” Tedesco added.
When the Covid-19 vaccine rolled out, Clyde Muchmore was ready to drive across Oklahoma to get it. “At the very, very first, all we knew was that a whole lot of people were dying,” recalled Muchmore, 80, of Oklahoma City. He scheduled a vaccine, he said, “on absolutely the first day I could.” Nearly half of Oklahoma’s overall population has declined the Covid-19 vaccine. Yet more than 90 percent of seniors in the state have completed at least one round of inoculations, and almost two-thirds have received at least one booster. Both figures fall close to national averages.
The same pattern plays out in other Republican-majority states. Public health data suggests red-state resistance to the Covid-19 vaccine is largely the province of the young. Seniors in the reddest states are inoculated and boosted at nearly the same rate as older Americans overall. The trend holds in Wyoming and West Virginia, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Idaho, all states where large majorities of voters cast ballots for former President Trump in 2020.
Public health experts say older Americans in conservative states have embraced the Covid-19 vaccine as a matter of survival, prioritizing it above partisan politics, libertarian impulses and fears of government overreach.
“For me, the Covid vaccine was really a no-brainer,” said Massimo Poggio, 75, of St. George, Utah, a solid Trump state in 2020. “It had nothing to do with my political views. It had to do with the feeling that I was at higher risk. I have family and friends who lost people to Covid-19.”
Poggio scheduled his first Covid-19 vaccine in January 2021. He scheduled his third booster for Friday, in tandem with his seasonal flu shot: “It seemed to be the responsible thing to do.”
In the five reddest states, as measured in the 2020 election, overall Covid-19 vaccination rates lag well below the national average of 68 percent. But seniors in those states are vaccinated at rates ranging from 86 percent in Wyoming and West Virginia to 91 percent in Oklahoma. In the United States as a whole, 92 percent of seniors have completed at least one round of vaccines.
“People who are old recognized what was happening, particularly in the earliest stages of the pandemic, and they saw who was dying,” said Susan Hassig, a professor of epidemiology at Tulane University in New Orleans. “They saw their friends getting really, really sick.”
In Oklahoma City and its surrounding county, seniors have sought out the Covid-19 vaccine in waves, mirroring the peaks and valleys of the disease itself. Sixty-five percent of seniors in Oklahoma County completed vaccinations by May 2021, in the first months when shots were available. By July, at the start of the delta wave, 81 percent of older residents had been vaccinated. The rate climbed to 90 percent in December, early in the omicron wave.
“A lot of right-leaning seniors realized that the risk of death and hospitalization was high enough that they weren’t really willing to put politics over their health,” said Aaron Wendelboe, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Oklahoma.
Today, vaccination rates in Oklahoma and Tulsa counties exceed 95 percent among seniors. In the state’s rural Latimer County, by contrast, only 55 percent of seniors are inoculated.
Rural Oklahomans, Wendelboe said, sometimes see Covid-19 as a problem of the big cities. Some Oklahomans have become swept up in the anti-vaccine movement, campaigning against the vaccine on social media and call-in radio.
Muchmore, the Oklahoma City senior, said he doesn’t know anyone in that movement. Instead, he sees individual Oklahomans accepting the vaccine or refusing it for myriad reasons, including concerns about side effects, a personal calculus of family health risks and a shared sense of outrage at the government telling people what to do. “There is general resentment among people in Oklahoma against the heavy hand,” Muchmore said.
Aaron Siri was finally able to force the CDC to relinquish their V-safe data, which showed over 10% of recipients suffered significant adverse reactions to vaccination. This article will explain why that is so important. One of the major challenges with the Covid-19 vaccination has been that it has been impossible to get any clear safety data on it. The two key issues have been: Suppression of Data Showing The Vaccines Were Not Safe
Clinical trials of the vaccines were for all practical purposes fraudulent and massively underreporting adverse events. Many of the adverse event databases are not being reported by the government unless they are anonymously leaked by a whistleblower (e.g. here, here or here) or forced into the open by a lawsuit. Mass censorship of reporting “unsafe” adverse responses to vaccination on every media platform.
For example, it was recently revealed that the Israeli government deliberately concealed concerning signs of vaccine safety so that it could push the vaccine through. Given that Israel’s government served as Pfizer’s laboratory for their vaccine, this was of immense consequence globally as governments around the world pushed the vaccine forward on the basis of Pfizer’s fraudulent safety data. Steve Kirsch also has been able to demonstrate that the CDC’s committee that determines the appropriateness of these vaccines is willfully ignoring this data. Design Flaws in the Existing Adverse Event Reporting Systems
Massive underreporting occurring globally within the existing vaccine safety monitoring systems (e.g. VAERS). It being impossible to know the denominator (how many total people were the adverse reactions observed in) to calculate the actual adverse event rate that is occurring. Since VAERS is a passive reporting system, it is not possible to determine causality from it.
Because of this, VAERS has been able to demonstrate that the Covid-19 vaccine is much more dangerous that any previous vaccination, but nothing has been done with its data because it is not “reliable.”
VAERS thus occupies a curious position. It is repeatedly cited when it is needed (e.g. to fulfill the required pharmacovigilance role for the FDA) but disparaged as worthless whenever its data is cited to suggest potential harm from vaccination. Many have recognized the shortcomings in VAERS, and attempts have been made to produce more reliable systems, however as these systems tend to then produce evidence vaccines are in fact quite harmful, they are then scrapped (e.g. the ESP:VAERS project). V-Safe Due to the unprecedented nature of the “emergency” Covid-19 vaccination campaign (a completely novel vaccine was developed in one tenth of the time normally required for the basic safety testing to bring a vaccine to market and then forced onto the entire world), a significant amount of the safety testing had to be performed after the vaccine had already been given to the world’s population.
I cannot find direct proof of this, but I am relatively certain that it was decided that since the vaccine had to be tested on the general population and no existing mechanism existed to effectively track vaccine safety, V-Safe was developed to fulfill this role.
V-Safe briefly was a phone app the initial recipients of the vaccine (e.g. healthcare workers who could be expected to be reliable reporters of adverse events) were given and instructed to use to communicate to report their experiences. This approach is very important because this data was prospective (this data is always more reliable than retrospective data and considered necessary to demonstrate causality) and because the total number of participants was known (which is necessary to demonstrate the rate at which adverse events occurred). The CDC was also supposed to follow up with individuals who reported adverse events, although I am somewhat doubtful this occurred.
Here are some brief descriptions of V-Safe (source is in picture): ...
The Biden administration defended its decision to discharge nearly 20,000 healthy U.S. troops for refusing to take the Covid-19 vaccine despite dangerously low recruitment numbers. During an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” John Kirby, the coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, insisted that the Covid-19 vaccines are important for military readiness.
https://youtu.be/zBytXU7YP-k
“The vaccines are a valid military requirement. You want your troops to be ready – part of being ready is being healthy and not having the ability to infect your unit and make their unit readiness any worse than it is,” Kirby said before admitting that he was at home recovering from his own bout with Covid. Kirby has received four Covid shots. “Every one of your branches can’t recruit their threshold yet you are kicking out good men and women. How do you explain that?” co-host Brian Kilmeade asked. “Well, look, Brian, first of all, the Navy did make their recruiting goals for enlisted personnel this year. Yes, it’s a tough recruiting environment. We recognize that but it’s also you have a requirement to be healthy to be able to serve and this is a valid military requirement,” Kirby said. “Even if it doesn’t prevent you from getting Covid, I’m double boosted and I got it myself. It makes the symptoms a lot less severe to get you back on duty that much quicker.”
Kilmeade responded, “So, it’s worth kicking out the healthiest people in our country, who are already sacrificing, it’s worth kicking them out?”
“We would rather not lose anybody, of course, to the vaccine,” Kirby replied. “We would rather not lose anybody from a retention perspective to have them leave the service earlier than they wanted or we wanted them to. But it’s a valid military requirement.”
As the Biden administration prepares to kick out tens of thousands of unvaccinated but otherwise healthy troops, the U.S. Army revealed it missed its 2022 recruiting goal by 15,000 troops, marking a 25 percent miss from the 60,000 new soldiers it sought to recruit before the fiscal year ended on Sept. 30. It’s the worst miss on record for the service since the U.S. military became an all-volunteer force nearly 50 years ago. Continue reading on americanmilitarynews.com
Attorneys for two doctors have filed a federal lawsuit against the Medical Board of California and state Attorney General Rob Bonta over a freshly signed law that aims to punish physicians for spreading “misinformation” or “disinformation” related to Covid-19. The complaint, filed on behalf of Dr. Jeff Barke and Dr. Mark McDonald in the Central California U.S. District Court on Oct. 4, just days after California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2098 (AB 2098) into law, asks the court to declare the new law unconstitutional and seeks a preliminary injunction to prevent it from being enforced.
The statute defines misinformation as “false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care,” and disinformation as “misinformation that is deliberately disseminated with malicious intent or an intent to mislead.”
In his signing message, Newsom said he was concerned similar laws could have a “chilling effect” on doctors, but was confident AB 2098 is narrow enough to apply only to “those egregious instances” where physicians are acting with malicious intent “or clearly deviating from the required standards of care
Governor Gavin Newsom speaks to reporters at AltaMed Urgent Care in Santa Ana, Calif., on March 25, 2021. (John Fredricks/The Epoch Times)
Barke, a primary care physician, and McDonald, a psychiatrist, allege the recently enacted law violates their rights to free speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
They allege the law, which allows the medical board to punish doctors for “unprofessional conduct” if they don’t comply with what the state deems to be scientific consensus, “chills the protected speech of medical professionals on the basis of viewpoint.”
It also intrudes into the privacy of the doctor-patient relationship and replaces the medical judgment of licensed professionals for that of the government, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit names as defendants Bonta and the entire medical board, including Kristina Lawson, president; Randy Hawkins, vice president; and Laurie Rose Lubiano, secretary. ‘Scientific Consensus’ Constantly Changing Daniel Suhr of Liberty Justice Center, lead attorney in the case, told The Epoch Times AB 2098 is unconstitutional and “un-American.”
While the law says doctors can’t provide patients with medical advice contrary to “scientific consensus” about Covid-19, the last two years have shown “the so-called scientific consensus is constantly changing and evolving,” Suhr said.
“And, in fact, it’s only because we allow doctors and scientists the freedom to challenge the scientific consensus, that we end up learning new things about how to treat the disease better, and actually deliver better results for patients,” he said.
Suhr said the Constitution allows the American people to determine what they believe is true, and only in a free and open marketplace of ideas can people see and understand their options. “When the government comes in, and says, ‘We’re going to have one official truth,’ or ‘We’re going to ordain one ‘scientific consensus,’ that is fundamentally contradictory to 200 years of American history,” he said. “There’s something very Orwellian about it, for sure.” Laws such as AB 2098 seem to be part of a coordinated censorship campaign that doesn’t bode well for democracy, Suhr said.
“We started with this whole concept of misinformation specific to Covid, and now we see it in health care related to gender transition surgeries; we see it in climate change; we see it in election results,” he said. “Our government is claiming the right to define truth and then censor and suppress any [other] view.”
Carlos Villatoro, a spokesperson for the medical board, said the agency “does not comment on pending litigation,” and Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office said on Oct. 4 it had “not yet been served.” Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
China began severely restricting the export of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gowns and masks, months before notifying the world of the outbreak of Covid-19, it has emerged. PPE exports to the US fell by around 50 per cent between August and September of 2019, in a significant drop which raised alarm bells at key US government agencies. China also started to buy up global PPE stocks in Europe, Australia and the US around the same time, experts said.
The fall in PPE supplies exiting China, the world’s biggest manufacturer of PPE, raises new questions about the true timeline of the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.
An altered timeline would significantly challenge the theory that the pandemic originated from a seafood market in Wuhan, where the first cases emerged in December 2019.
The anomaly was uncovered by former US government officials including Dr Tom McGinn, a Senior Health Advisor at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Colonel John Hoffman, a Senior Research Fellow with the Food Protection and Defense Institute whose career spans decades in US government and military.
The pair were unconvinced that the virus had started at the Wuhan Wet Market in December 2019, after and began looking for an alternative theory.
After scouring a Customs and Border Protection database which tracks goods entering the US, they noticed China had started hoarding PPE far earlier than the initial date of the outbreak. “You can go and look about three years back [at import data]”, said Colonel Hoffman. “This is not the normal up and down that occurs” The pair presented the information to DHS’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, which declined to investigate, saying the drop reflected normal supply fluctuations.
However when Col Hoffman contacted one of America’s biggest hospital networks, HCA Healthcare, the organization confirmed it was highly unusual. Surgical gowns on backorder in September 2019 A representative of HCA, which operates around 200 hospitals and 2,000 clinics, reported surgical gowns and drapes went on backorder in late September 2019, leaving hospitals scrambling.
“I asked HCA folks if this had happened anytime recently”, Col Hoffman added.
“The answer was no—they could not remember ever seeing so much of this stuff on back order.”
David Asher, a former State Department official who played a key role in the pandemic response and now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, says the shortage was also caused by Chinese government efforts to buy up global PPE stocks in the US, Europe and Australia. “It was a persistent uptick [of Chinese purchasing]”, said Dr Asher. “And it was significant enough that my colleagues at DHS heard about it from American companies that manufacture PPE, and most importantly from US hospitals reporting they weren’t able to get the normal supply of masks, gloves, gowns and goggles”. China’s campaign to snatch up global PPE stocks and ship them back to China at the start of the pandemic in January and February 2020.
But earlier purchasing efforts from August and September 2019, call into question whether the Chinese were aware of an outbreak earlier.
Many experts now think that the Covid-19 could have leaked from experiments carried out at Dr Shi Zhengli’s lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which was studying bat-borne coronaviruses.
The restricting of PPE exports came around the same time that the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) removed a database of bat virus gene sequences, which has never been restored.
Dr McGinn and Col Hoffman also consulted senior scientists at EcoHealth Alliance, the non-profit organisation known for funnelling US government funding to Dr Shi Zhengli’s lab at WIV.
The EcoHealth Alliance scientists confirmed that “the pandemic could not have started at the Wuhan wet market,” according to a source who requested anonymity for security reasons.
The Florida State Department of Health has announced that men under 40 should avoid the Covid mRNA vaccine due to the risk of cardiac-related death.
The updated guidance includes a disturbing analysis regarding the safety of the mRNA Covid vaccines. “This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination.” With immunity levels high in the population (natural or otherwise), “the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group.”
This guidance doesn’t apply to non-mRNA Covid vaccines.
For mRNA Covid vaccines, such as Pfizer and Moderna, “The State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.”
Additionally, the department recommends people with pre-existing heart conditions take extra caution when considering getting mRNA Covid vaccinated.
They said that public health departments have neglected or dismissed the safety concerns for too long.
“These are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians.”
Recently, hundreds of doctors declared a medical crisis due to the Covid vaccines. “We, the medical doctors and scientists from all over the world, declare that there is an international medical crisis due to the diseases and deaths co-related to the administration of products known as “Covid-19 vaccines,” their joint statement states. Last month, Denmark stopped offering the Covid vaccines to most people under the age of 50.
In Canada, the health authorities have taken a different stance. Babies as young as six months old and up are advised to get Covid vaccinated or boosted. Continue reading on thecountersignal.com
Experts are warning that this winter could see soaring infections of both Covid and flu. Dubbed as the “twindemic”, the two viruses could put even more strain on the national health service. While the Covid jab is one of the main weapons against the virus, many elderly people are refusing it. Worryingly, current soaring cases seem to be targeting mainly elderly Britons, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The ONS found that the recent Covid outbreak is being driven by those over 70 years of age, with many missing their autumn booster.
This is a stark contrast compared to previous waves which started by targeting younger demographics.
Latest testing data revealed that an estimated 1.3 million people in the UK had the virus in the week leading up to September 24
Covid booster crisis as elderly are refusing the jab amid soaring cases in the UK.
Furthermore, the NHS England's most up-to-date data suggests that hospital admissions have also reached a record peak, with 9,631 infected people being in hospital beds on October 5.
This represents a 37 percent increase compared to the last highest figure, which was recorded in August.
Next week, the NHS will start sending out invitations for booster jabs as emails, letters and texts to around six million eligible Britons.
The eligible groups include either those at a higher risk from Covid or those over 75.
However, so far only 6.6 million of the 26 million eligible have had their booster.
Experts are currently worried that not enough over-70s have had their extra jab, especially as case rates seem to be the highest in this age group.
The ONS estimates that one in every 40 people over the age of 70 had the virus in its latest weekly survey. Continue reading on www.express.co.uk
Doctors are afraid to speak out about Covid treatment and the dangers of the Covid shots because they can lose their ability to practice medicine if they challenge the mainstream narrative Remdesivir is the only “standard of care” drug approved for the treatment of Covid, even though it was found to be ineffective against the infection and had life-threatening side effects, including kidney failure and liver damage
Hospitals have an enormous financial incentive to use this toxic treatment, which frequently kills the patient, as the U.S. government pays a 20% upcharge on the entire hospital bill when remdesivir is used. Hospitals are also paid for the use of ventilation and for Covid deaths. Every Covid patient has what amounts to a $400,000 to $500,000 bounty on their head
The persecution doctors have suffered under Covid is now about to be cemented into law in California. California Assembly Bill 2098 designates “dissemination or promotion of misinformation or disinformation related to ... Covid-19 as unprofessional conduct” warranting disciplinary action that could result in the loss of their medical license. The bill was approved by the California Legislature September 26, 2022, and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it October 1, 2022.
By preventing doctors from sharing information and knowledge as they see fit with their patients, California bureaucrats are not only violating the U.S. Constitution and destroying the medical profession as we know it, they’re also pushing medical science back into the Dark Ages, as science can only move forward when there’s free exchange of ideas.
If you’ve become disillusioned with the medical profession over the past three years, you’re not alone. Many have come to distrust doctors, largely thanks to widespread mistreatment of Covid in hospitals, and doctors’ failure to provide sufficient information about the Covid jabs to make informed consent. Doctors’ enforcing the use of masks, even though they ought to know they don’t work against respiratory viruses, hasn’t helped either.
In a recent interview with Steve Kirsch, Dr. Paul Marik, a pulmonary and critical care specialist and founding member of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), discussed why doctors have been so reluctant to speak out against the clearly dangerous Covid shots.
As noted by Kirsch: “My blue pilled friends who believe the vaccines are safe have told me they would reconsider their position if just a single one of their own doctors came out against the vaccine. One of them said even if a ‘TV doctor’ (such as Sanjay Gupta) said it was unsafe, they would reconsider their position. I told them that doctors are afraid to speak out because they will lose their ability to practice medicine if they challenge the mainstream narrative.
My friends find that too hard to believe. They asked me incredulously, ‘Why would the medical community silence doctors who are trying to save lives?’ They didn’t believe my answer. So, I wanted to interview a doctor who is very highly respected and who is not an ‘anti-vaxxer’ to explain it to them.” Doctors Who Share Their Concerns Are Punished Like many other doctors, Marik took the Covid shots when they first came out, as was expected of him. It wasn’t until he started reviewing the data for himself, well after the fact, that he realized just how bad they are.
When asked whether he might have misjudged the data, Marik replies, “No, the evidence is very clear.” Yet despite crystal-clear data, when Marik started speaking out against the shots, the medical community retaliated. Marik also suffered retaliation when trying to treat patients with FDA-approved, off-patent, off-label drugs shown to be very effective against Covid.
The hospital pharmacy refused to fill his prescriptions and he was ordered to not prescribe them to anyone. In short, he was ordered to simply watch his patients die, even though he knew he could help them.
New science shows Covid-19 vaccines remains in breastmilk for up to 45 hours after jab. Scientists at New York University’s Long Island School of Medicine have detected messenger RNA Covid-19 vaccines in human breast milk, according to a new study. This peer-reviewed research, published on September 26, 2022 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, looked at the breastmilk of 11 healthy breastfeeding women, five of whom had received the Moderna vaccine during pregnancy and six of whom received the Pfizer vaccine.
Participants in the study were asked to collect and freeze their milk before and after vaccination. The milk collected before vaccination served as the control.
One hundred and thirty-one breast milk samples were collected between one hour and five days after women received the vaccines. Just under half of the women enrolled in the study (five out of 11) had detectable amounts of mRNA vaccine components in their breastmilk.
However, no mRNA vaccine was found in the pre-vaccine samples or in the samples taken 48 hours or more after vaccination.
The scientists speculated that after vaccination, lipid nanoparticles containing vaccine mRNA are carried to the mammary glands either through the blood or the lymphatic system.
The study authors contended that they were the first to report that vaccine mRNA reaches breast tissue. Their work seems to have hit a nerve: In the two weeks that this study has been available on-line, it’s been viewed well over 150,000 times, which is highly unusual for a scientific research letter about breastfeeding.
At the same time, the scientists claimed in their study that it proved that vaccinating breastfeeding women is safe. “The sporadic presences of trace quantities of Covid-19 vaccine mRNA detected … suggest that breastfeeding after Covid-19 mRNA vaccination is safe, particularly beyond 48 hours after vaccination,” they concluded. NYU Scientists Urge Caution While they did say they believed it was safe for vaccinated mothers to breastfeed, the researchers did add a cautionary note in their discussion. “However, caution is warranted about breastfeeding children younger than 6 months in the first 48 hours after maternal vaccination, until more safety studies are conducted,” they wrote. “In addition, the potential interference of Covid-19 vaccine mRNA with the immune response to multiple routine vaccines given to infants during the first 6 months of age needs to be considered.” As the researchers pointed out, initial vaccine safety trials excluded several groups of people, including babies, small children, pregnant women, and lactating moms. However, the CDC is now recommending mRNA vaccines for all of these groups except for infants under six months old. A Disaster for Infants? “This isn’t just a disaster for infants,” Alex Berenson, who worked as a reporter for the New York Times for over a decade, wrote in a tweet about the article on September 27, “it’s more proof that mRNA/LNP [lipid nanoparticles] in the shots hits practically every cell in the body.” Berenson’s tweet to his 428,000 followers, prompted so-called fact checkers to come out full force with claims, which they backed up with Big Medicine establishment sources, that vaccine safety is not a problem. “No Indication Breast Milk After Vaccination Unsafe, Despite Posts About New Study,” an October 4, 2022 article from factcheck.org insists.
The fact checkers seem to have forgotten that when the mRNA vaccines were first licensed, experts told the public that the mRNA would stay localized to the arm in which the vaccine was injected because the spike protein and the mRNA degrade so quickly.
That, however, has turned out not to be the case. Instead, several studies have shown that the mRNA actually gets distributed throughout the body to every major organ system. In fact, the mRNA lasts significantly longer than was originally believed as well. It has been detected months after vaccination.
Dr. Peter McCullough, a renowned Texas-based internist and cardiologist who has raised questions about the efficacy and safety of Covid-19 vaccines, has been suspended from Twitter. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) took to the social media platform on Oct. 7 to condemn the suspension of McCullough’s account. “To say private companies have this right is to ignore their coordination with government censors, and the undisclosed influence they have on elections,” Massie wrote alongside a screenshot that shows McCullough’s account has been suspended.
“Twitter suspends accounts that violate the Twitter Rules,” the screenshot reads.
Other Twitter users also took to the platform where they noted they can no longer see McCullough’s account, including one board-certified obstetrician-gynecologists who wrote that the “purge has begun,” before urging Tesla CEO Elon Musk to “get a handle on this censorship,” adding that it is “perverse and unethical.”
Musk confirmed his plans to purchase Twitter for $44 billion in an Oct. 3 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing following a lengthy legal battle with Twitter executives over automated bots and fake accounts.
A number of other medical experts and individuals also condemned Twitter on Thursday for suspending McCullough’s account.

Canadian doctor of 50 years stands up to government intimidation and harassment to protect patient’s rights and those of every Canadian citizen. Canadian doctor Mary O’Conner has been threatened with prison for refusing to violate her patient’s medical privacy and safety. Yet, despite the government’s intimidation tactics and harassment, the brave doctor of 50 years continues her selfless fight to protect her patient’s rights and those of every Canadian citizen.
In September 2022, Dr. O’Conner delivered a powerful speech detailing her fight for her patient’s safety who are under attack. But, as she explained, her battle is “now a battle to fight for every patient, for their rights:
Right to access medical treatment Right to adequate medical treatment Right to privacy of their medical records
Dr. O’Conner, who has been practicing medicine in her office for 44 years, went to Parliament Hill to explain her situation and warn others that the attacks happening to her and her patients could soon happen to everyone.
https://rumble.com/embed/v1ka8q4/?pub=1fk9v5
On October 8, 2021, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) contacted Dr. O’Conner. They had become aware that she was writing medical exemptions for patients for masks, PCR tests, and “vaccines.” The CPSO has the mandate to govern the practice of medicine in Ontario. Doctors must belong to this “College” to practice medicine in Canada.
It was discovered that some of the employers of O’Conner’s patients had contacted the CPSO to see if her exemptions were “legitimate.” The CPSO responded by demanding that she turn over the names and charts of all her patients who had received medical exemptions. They demanded she violate the legal rights of her patients. O’Conner explains, “I was asked to violate my patient’s rights… both to choose their medical treatment and the Right to have their private medical records remain confidential between themselves and their doctor.” The investigators from the CPSO were instructed they could enter her office “by force, if necessary, and no one was allowed to obstruct them.”
Fearing for her patients and her safety, O’Conner had a friend stand guard at her medical office and lock the door between patients.
On Nov. 4, 2021, the group forbade the doctor from writing her patients any more exemptions. However, O’Connor did not receive their message until November 24.
On November 22, a “Private Eye” hired by the “College” tricked O’Conner into giving her an exemption. What followed is terrifying; on December 8th, as she had feared, four investigators stormed her office.
The doctor’s friend was there alone and had not locked the door. They entrapped her friend in the boardroom. The chief investigator pummeled him with questions as to her whereabouts. They were extremely aggressive and traumatized her friend. While three investigators terrorized him, one searched her file cabinets, but thankfully, she had moved her charts months before.
The investigators did not stop with Mary’s friend or office; they went to her old neighborhood and harassed neighbors, demanding they reveal where she had moved.
On December 23, midnight, the radicalized medical body suspended Dr. O’Conner’s medical license.
On January 7, they took her to Ontario Superior Court, held online in what they called “ZOOM court.” Those targeting Dr. O’Conner’s patients, careers, and livelihoods were allowed to black out their faces and hide their identities. Meanwhile, the doctor of 50 years, who has worked endlessly to improve people’s lives, was allowed to be maligned and smeared publicly while her accusers were protected?
Why was Dr. O’Conner deprived of her right to face her accusers? Sadly she lost her case. The Judge ruled against her patients. He said she had to hand over the names and charts of patients who received medical exemptions.
Despite the court ruling, she refused to do so. Dr. O’Conner explained,
A friend pointed me to this excellent article by Dr. Meryl Nass entitled Negative vaccine efficacy keeps rearing its ugly head. Now Kaiser admits it. Meryl has testified that the Covid vaccines are not “safe and effective.” As a result, the state medical board suspended her license to practice medicine. Because that’s just the way it goes.
Meryl points out that this paper from Kaiser shows negative Vaccine Efficacy (VE) after 3 shots compared to the unvaccinated comparison group.
The negative VE is only for variants which are currently circulating!!!
According to the paper, the vaccine is protective against variants (BA.1) that are NOT circulating anymore. So that benefit isn’t particularly useful. Summary Even Kaiser now admits multiple shots of the “vaccine” will make you more likely to get infected.
And we have other data showing that the hospitalization and death benefits are mirages as well.
So taking the shot is a good way to increase your odds of dying. Why we are mandating this for college students is beyond me. Continue reading on stevekirsch.substack.com
A Canadian doctor voiced her surprise on Twitter Sunday when for the first time one of her patients refused to receive a blood transfusion if the donor was vaccinated against Covid. Dr. Stephanie Cooper was genuinely shocked that a patient would decline life-saving blood if it was tainted by one of the Covid vaccines. She just couldn’t wrap her head around it and many of her Twitter followers couldn’t either. Cooper is a Calgary-trained Obstetrician-Gynecologist and a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist with Alberta Health Services.
“So- this was a first for me. A patient declined blood transfusion if the donor had received a covid vaccination,” she tweeted.
She wasn’t alone. Another doctor said the same thing had happened to her, pronouns and all, “Sadly, we’ve had a couple of patients here with the same beliefs.”
“Blood transfusions prevent many women from dying from childhood. This is a new twist of risk vs benefit counseling I was not expecting,” Dr. Cooper responded to that tweet.
“Look- Blood transfusions have saved so many of my patients from dying in childbirth. I CAN’T request non-covid vax blood- blood bank doesn’t register vax status. We barely have enough blood as it is. Donate blood. Save mothers. Enough,” Cooper tweeted expressing extreme frustration.
One Twitter user replied to Cooper, stating, “Some of us remember the 80s. Took awhile for ‘doctors’ to catch on then, too.” That was evidently a reference to the AIDS outbreak.
“Ppl had to endure a lot of mud slinging and vitriol over the last 2 years. Why would they compromise this now? And ppl in the UK also remember this,” another person asserted.
It’s not just patients objecting. Two registered nurses also claimed that they had lost faith in the medical community over it.
“What is even worse is people now refuse medical care because they don’t trust the profession anymore. I was a nurse for 31 years and understand what they are feeling. I have lost faith in our profession after all this,” one nurse said.
“Me too – RN since 1990 – tired of it all. Don’t trust 95% of the medical professionals I know. Sad,” another commented.
A doctor from New York also warned that a blood transfusion from an mRNA-vaccinated person to children if received within 30 days could cause “life-threatening clot or emboli that can kill the child.”
The American Red Cross asserts that it doesn’t “label blood products as containing vaccinated or unvaccinated blood as the Covid-19 vaccine does not enter the bloodstream & poses no safety risks to the recipient.” Many don’t believe that claim in the least.
In direct contradiction to the claim made by the Red Cross, a study that is supported by the Ministry of Research, Innovation, and Digitalization of Romania and published on the NIH website, contends that the mRNA vaccine can be detected in blood at 15 days post-vaccination.
“In conclusion, we showed that BNT162b2 vaccine mRNA remains in the systemic circulation of vaccinated individuals for at least 2 weeks, during which it likely retains its ability to induce S-protein expression in susceptible cells and tissues,” the study found. “In plasma, mRNA was immediately detectable at just hours following vaccination, remained detectable when sampled at 6 and 15 days.” Continue reading on www.bizpacreview.com
Joe Biden has done hundreds of things during his two years in the White House to advance abortion despite claiming he’s a “devout Catholic.” Today, his administration diverted almost $1 million in funds meant to help fight Covid to a major pro-abortion group.
As The Federalist reports: Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services designated $750k in taxpayer funds to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute for research that will reinforce the Biden administration’s radical abortion agenda.
The grant, which began on Sept. 1, was awarded out of Congress’s recent inflationary Covid spending to the Guttmacher Institute under the premise that the abortion industry experienced “service disruptions due to the Covid-19 pandemic and shifting policies and priorities” that require remedying.
The money given to Guttmacher is just a small fraction of the $6 million HHS promised to nearly a dozen of research organizations for data on expanding abortions in the U.S.
To receive the full funds by the grant’s end in 2025, Guttmacher has pledged itself to “generating actionable data to ensure high-quality, equitable sexual and reproductive health care.”
In other words, the institute will be working overtime to supply the Biden administration with whatever statistics it needs to advance its pro-abortion agenda. “This work will result in data and findings readily available for policy makers, clinical providers, and program planners to leverage when designing programs and policies to increase equitable access, especially for those most in need of publicly funded [sexual reproductive health] services,” the grant states. The Guttmacher Institute, founded by former Planned Parenthood President and former Vice President of the American Eugenics Society, Alan F. Guttmacher, is a longtime pro-abortion group.
The Guttmacher Institute was birthed in 1968 as a research arm of Planned Parenthood. In the late 70s, for public relations and credibility issues, both organizations performed a public separation declaring that Guttmacher was no longer affiliated with Planned Parenthood (PPFA) in any way. But the cord is still attached as this global pro-abortion extension of PPFA has been funded with millions in grants over the years.
And this isn’t the first time Biden has funded the abortion industry.
On his first week in office, Biden signed an executive order forcing Americans to fund the International Planned Parenthood abortion business and sending taxpayer funds to promote its global abortion agenda. Continue reading on www.lifenews.com
The NSW Australia Government used psy-ops behavioral experts to help them guide people's conduct during the Covid pandemic. The 'Behavioral Insights Unit' operated as part of the Department of Customer Service and was made up of 14 people that gave advice to the state government. Documents obtained by The Daily Telegraph under Freedom of Information showed the unit had input on several topics spanning from vaccines to face masks. The NSW Government used behavioral experts to help them guide people's conduct during the Covid pandemic (pictured, a masked Sydney resident)
The unit suggested the government reduce negative public perception of the Covid vaccine and its side effects. It suggested using decimal figures, rather than round numbers, to make the risk of experiencing a side effect seem less likely.
'When discussing risks, use the absolute percentage (i.e. 0.000004 per cent) rather than 1 in 250,000,' the unit advised the government according to documents. The unit also advised one possible way of increasing mask usage among young people was by applying to their egos.
It suggested usage would increase by 10 per cent on public transport if the state government followed the message: 'Appealing to ego: Real heroes wear masks'. There were also suggestions QR code check-in rates could be increased by harnessing the 'surveillance effect' at stores.
The unit advised telling store owners their check-in rates were lower than other stores would motivate them to make sure every visitor checked in.
The Institute of Public Affair's Morgan Begg has accused the state government of manipulation.
'These documents are further evidence of how governments used unprecedented tactics, including the weaponisation of psychological tricks by officials, to get people to accept the unacceptable,' he said.
University of NSW economics lecturer and author of The Great Covid Panic, Professor Gigi Foster also slammed the government for the 'manipulative' tactics utilized by the unit. 'What is revealed in the documents … is the manipulation of a population by its government, using tactics that have been found in the behavioral economics and psychology literatures to be particularly effective at changing behavor,' she said.
University of NSW economics lecturer and author of The Great Covid Panic, Professor Gigi Foster, said the unit had aided the government in 'manipulating' people in complying with Covid rules (pictured, people queue for a Covid test in Melbourne)
She added that it had helped the government 'in manipulating people into complying with them' and the measures used to convince people to get vaccinated were more akin to 'shoves rather than nudges'.
The 'Behavioural Insights Unit' has been compared to the UK's 'nudge unit', which is also a behavioural insights team that provides reports and analysis to the government to influence policy and improve public services.
The 'nudge unit' was also controversially used in the UK to guide people's conduct during the Covid pandemic. Continue reading on www.dailymail.co.uk
Far too often, when someone claims someone else is lying, that person is the one who’s really not telling the truth. There has been disturbing evidence that this has been especially true during the deadliest health crisis in over a century. But the liars aren’t who you might think. Those who questioned the pandemic’s true origins were called conspiracy freaks. We now know that these people were right all along. Others claimed the best course of action would be to encourage natural immunity. These ideas were censored.
Medical bureaucrats wanted to push an untested vaccine on everyone. If people thought their own “God-given immune defenses” could beat Covid-19, why would they risk a hastily approved medicine? Many still refused. As a result, thousands lost their jobs. Virtually anyone who chose not to get “the Covid-19 jab” was ridiculed. Joe Biden called every rise in case counts to be “the pandemic of the unvaccinated.” It wasn’t. More vaccinated people have been infected by variants than those with natural immunity. But there have been other serious questions about the Covid-19 vaccine. As more research unfolds, there are now a vast number of dangerous side effects. However, are medical professionals discussing these potentially deadly risks? No, they are not.
In fact, a recent report indicates that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is burying critical data. The FDA was entrusted with approving the vaccines for emergency use. Eventually, they opened the door to mandating shots for children and young adults.
Neither of these groups needs to be vaccinated. There’s actually more risk from getting vaccinated than there is from catching the virus. These risks are now being exposed. There is increasing evidence that people may be dying from vaccine side effects.
But does the FDA want to help find out the truth? Instead of investigating potentially dangerous side effects, the FDA is refusing to release autopsy results for people who died after getting the Covid-19 vaccine.
Through the Freedom of Information Act, The Epoch Times requested autopsy reports obtained by the FDA concerning deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The request was denied. What are they hiding, and why are they hiding it?
The FDA is supposed to be investigating every one of these incidents. Furthermore, the FDA argued that they had the right to refuse to release the autopsies because they “reasonably foresee that disclosure would harm an interest protected by an exemption.”
That’s a joke. The autopsies could easily redact all personal information. The only thing people want to know is if there are deaths being caused by the vaccine. So, why won’t the federal agency entrusted with making sure medicines are safe, reveal this data? Statistics estimate that nearly 10,000 deaths have resulted from vaccine-related causes. How many more have been covered up? Researchers confirmed that prior studies have found that “adverse events reported to VAERS are an undercount of the true number of events.” Despite an alarming increase in dangerous side effects, medical bureaucrats still push the vaccine. Why are they ignoring the data? People are dying. But this may be only the beginning. The pandemic has been rocked by misinformation. But it’s not coming from who you might think.

Data collected from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) V-safe app reveal that women and also recipients of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Covid-19 vaccines were disproportionately affected by adverse events following their vaccination. The data were publicized Oct. 3 by the Austin-based nonprofit Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) following its successful lawsuit against the CDC and a court order demanding the CDC release the data.
ICAN published the data using a graphical online dashboard and also made the raw data — containing more than 144 million lines of health data — available to the public.
The V-safe smartphone app collected post-vaccination health assessments from approximately 10 million people between Dec. 14, 2020, and July 31, 2022.
Del Bigtree, CEO of ICAN, described the data file as “huge, gigantic” and remarked on the CDC’s failure to make this information available. “The CDC had billions of dollars to build something like this,” he said. “They didn’t do it, so we did it for them.”
Adverse events for Moderna, J&J recipients disproportionately high According to data presented by Statista, of the more than 610 million Covid-19 vaccines administered in the U.S. as of Sept. 7, 59.2% (361.3 million) were Pfizer, 37.6% (229.8 million) were Moderna and 3.1% (18.9 million) were J&J. However, the V-safe data reveal that out of the 3.35 million people who reported being affected in some way by the vaccines, 48.3% received the Moderna vaccine and 4.7% received the J&J vaccine.
Both percentages are higher than that of the general population that received those vaccines.
According to ICAN, “These data also reflect a disproportionate amount of negative health impacts, including medical events, following the Moderna vaccine versus the Pfizer vaccine.”
Attorney Aaron Siri, who represented ICAN in its lawsuit against the CDC, highlighted the disproportionate effects reported by Moderna vaccine recipients, telling Fox News:
“The Moderna vaccine, interestingly, even though less shots of it were administered, appears within this data set to have a higher rate of adverse effects.”
Dr. Madhava Setty, a board-certified anesthesiologist and senior science editor for The Defender, suggested the disproportionate percentage of adverse events associated with the Moderna vaccine may be related to Moderna’s larger dose, compared with Pfizer.
“The most likely explanation of the Moderna issue is that there is more mRNA in each dose of their formulation compared to that in Pfizer’s,” he said. Covid vaccine affected more women than men The V-safe data also reveal that of the approximately 3.35 million V-safe users who reported one or more adverse events, a significantly higher number of women reported such events. This includes:
1.9 million white women compared to approximately 700,000 white men. Nearly 136,000 Asian women compared to approximately 81,000 Asian men. More than 161,000 Black or African American women compared to nearly 47,000 Black or African American men.
According to ICAN:
“There was also a disproportionate number of negative events reported by women versus men.
“This is consistent with what was seen in Pfizer’s initial post-authorization safety report sent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (a report had to be obtained by lawsuit) which similarly showed a disproportionate number of neurological events experienced by women following the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.”
Brian Hooker, chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense, told the Defender we may eventually see a shift in some of these discrepancies: “I think, over time, we might see a shift … especially in younger individuals.”
He added:
“I would imagine that cardiac events within adolescent to young adult males will jump off the charts, given what has been reported otherwise.”
The V-safe data also show a significant number of reports of injuries among childr...
A judge reinstated a Staten Island firefighter who lost his job over the Covid-19 vaccine mandate, according to a decision that could help other smoke eaters. Timothy Rivicci – who filed suit after he was terminated in March – will be reinstated to his full duties at Engine 158 and granted a religious exemption from the jab, according to a decision handed down on Tuesday by Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio.
Rivicci will also receive back pay and compensation for lawyers’ fees, the judge ruled. “When I heard the judge’s decision I was extremely, extremely grateful,” said the 31-year-old firefighter who’s been with the agency since 2016. “I felt like my life was taken away when all of this started and he gave me back my life.” Porzio found the city’s decision firing Rivicci “arbitrary and capricious” because it didn’t explain its decision nor did it engage in dialogue to work out a solution with him.
The judge said people are still contracting Covid despite being vaccinated and the guidelines for quarantine and isolation are the same for people with or without the vaccine.
“This is not a commentary on the efficacy of vaccination, but about how we are treating our first responders, the ones who worked day-to-day through the height of the pandemic,” Porzio wrote. “They deserve better.
Rivicci said he and his wife – who was a city teacher – were both fired for not getting the jab for religious reasons. The pair are born-again Christians.
“The whole time we weren’t able to pay our mortgage and we weren’t sure how we were going to get back on our feet,” Rivicci told The Post. “I don’t know what we would have done. We could have lost the house if not for this decision.”
After having no income for almost a year, they fell behind on their mortgage and their home is now in forbearance, Rivicci’s lawyer Christina Martinez told The Post. “Tim was really punished for taking a stand in what he really believed in and sticking to his guns,” Martinez said. “And he was without pay for almost a whole year. He almost lost his house.” Rivicci was in Staten Island court Tuesday – supported by a group of firefighters from his engine – when the judge announced the ruling from the bench, Martinez said.
Martinez said the judge wished her client luck before telling him, “Now go fight some fires.”
Martinez said it was very emotional for Rivicci, his family, and his coworkers.
“His family was crying and the firefighters gave a standing ovation” to Rivicci when he walked out of the courtroom, Martinez said. “They buried us in hugs.”
Martinez said they are “thrilled” by the decision and she’s hopeful it will set a precedent that could help other firefighters who were fired over the vaccine mandate.
According to court records, there were 1,960 FDNY employees who had applied for exemptions as of Jan. 11. Only 15 medical and 5 religious exemptions were granted among fire operations members.
“This is going to help a lot of firefighters,” Martinez said.
Last month, NYPD cop Alexander Deletto won a similar lawsuit when a judge ruled he should be allowed to keep his job.
“The FDNY respectfully disagrees with this ruling and is considering its options,” a spokesman with the city Law Department said in a statement. “The religious accommodation decision by the FDNY and the citywide appeal panel was rational and lawful.”
The Law Department rep said the vaccine mandate exemption for athletes and performers is very different than an exemption would be for city employees. This is because New Yorkers can choose whether or not to attend a game or performance while they cannot choose who responds to their 911 calls. Continue reading on nypost.com
An analysis of Pfizer's own documents regarding the development of its Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccine shows that the vaccine was not properly tested for possible adverse effects on male fertility. Later tests showed that the vaccine was actually harmful to sperm. This analysis was conducted by Amy Kelly, program director for Steve Bannon's program "war Room" and the head of the Pfizer documents analysis project of Naomi Wolf's Daily Clout.
According to Kelly's investigation, Pfizer did not test its mRNA Covid-19 vaccine for "male reproductive toxicity." This is defined as what adverse events the vaccine is capable of producing that are related to sexual function and fertility in adult males. Pfizer also did not test the vaccine's negative effects on the sperm of vaccinated men or on offspring born to vaccinated men.
Pfizer did not initially conduct studies despite understanding that mRNA material injected into people traveled throughout the body and gathered in organs, including in testes. (Related: Study finds mRNA material in BREAST MILK of vaccinated mothers.) Pfizer's mRNA vaccine creates "anti-sperm antibodies" that harm male fertility A later study of the effects of Pfizer's mRNA Covid-19 vaccine found that the dangerous vaccine resulted in the creation of "anti-sperm antibodies," or antibodies that treated sperm as invaders, leading to sperm being damaged or killed. This study, which came to light at the end of Feb. 2021, was classified by Pfizer as producing an "adverse event of special interest."
Pfizer's own document names the adverse event – "anti-sperm antibody positive" – as one of the nearly 1,300 adverse events that the Covid-19 vaccine can cause. As Kelly pointed out, what this study shows is that Pfizer knew about how its vaccine negatively impacts male fertility since the very beginning.
The company also knew at least a year before it made a clearly false statement to the National Institutes of Health in Feb. 2022 when it said that "Covid-19 vaccination does not reduce chances of conception." "For nearly a year, then, the FDA [Food and Drug Administration], public health agencies and medical organizations ignored this 'cause of male infertility' contained in the Pfizer documents – all of which were sent to the FDA, then they lied about it," wrote Kelly. "They kept silent for a year and then misled the public, rather than alerting the public," she continued. Kelly pointed out how the secrecy behind this serious adverse event constitutes a withholding of true informed consent for men.
"By suppressing discussion of this information, public health agencies, medical professionals and governments globally denied and continue to deny men true informed consent," wrote Kelly. "Contrary to established medical ethics, Pfizer and public health agencies did not disclose the true impacts of mRNA gene therapy vaccines on male fertility and, thus … denied men informed consent," she concluded.

To give an example, childhood dementia is a rare vaccine adverse event. Yet Covid-19 vaccines contributed to 11.2% of all dementia and related adverse events in children aged 6 to 17 on the VAERS database. Jessica Rose is a Canadian molecular biologist. She was also trained in biostatistics during her Ph.D. and hated it. But since the vaccine rollouts over two years ago, she has been analyzing statistics every day.
“I really still loathe statistics,” Rose said, yet that hasn’t stopped her from analyzing the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data, nor the South African VAERS equivalent.
What she has found are unprecedented reports in its quantity and the alarm.
In young adults aged 18 to 29, Covid-19 vaccines were related to 50.9% of all dementia and related adverse events. Unprecedented reports in quantity and alarm “There are so many things in there [VAERS] that are rare, that are new: cancers that shouldn’t be happening in certain subsets of the population like ALL [acute lymphoblastic leukemia] in adults, male breast cancers, dementia in children … you name it,” Rose told The Epoch Times by phone.
ALL is a cancer condition that can affect all age groups but is the most common in children aged 0 to 14. There have also been reports of neuromyelitis in women in older age groups even though the condition mostly affects younger women. Looking at VAERS as safety signals for the Covid-19 vaccines alone, Rose said that “human physiology is seemingly at the mercy of whatever’s in these shots, particularly the mRNA shots, but not exclusively.” Assuming that the vaccine was associated with the onset of these adverse events, Rose said she is completely baffled by what exactly is put into these vaccine vials to contribute to these events.
She gave the example of sudden adult death syndrome, or SADS, which has been emerging and reported in several young athletes.
“I’m trying to wrap my brain around this, what … could you be injecting into people that would cause them to die quickly? It’s very weird to me, very weird. I have no answer to that question. I always think [that it could be] electricity.
“You’re seeing a lot of footage of athletes and healthy young people, just dropping, they don’t even have time to cover their face [often a sign of neural impairment]. Something really switches off, and I can’t figure out what that is.” Strong evidence of causation Rose said that there is strong evidence of causation by simply looking at the VAERS data, alone.
But she conceded that “causation is a judgement call.”
“It’s important for everyone to understand that we can provide strong evidence of causal effects, but it’s always a judgement call on our part.”
Therefore, though causation can never be proven, evidence can always be collated to justify the decision to call a causation.
The common criteria used to evaluate causation is the Bradford Hill criteria: it is a list with 9 to 10 criteria that need to be satisfied, though causations can usually be called when five or six points are fulfilled.
The World Health Organization only lists seven of the Bradford Hill criteria for causality.
The authors of the report stated that the seven criteria are all relevant to assessing causality, though temporality is the most essential. “One of the most important ones is temporality,” Rose said, this means that the adverse event has to follow the vaccination or whatever is administered, and the shorter the time frame, the stronger the association. “Think of an acute reaction to a trigger like anaphylaxis,” Rose said, “if somebody gets injected with something, and within 15 minutes, they can’t breathe, or they’re having severe chest pain, or have some kind of cardiac event, there isn’t a human being on the planet who’s not going to say, oh, it’s because of the shot, or at least say it’s probably because of the shot.” As of Sept. 29, the U.S. VAERS data shows that around 53.
Two new studies - one about thyroid eye disease and one about encephalitis - highlighted negative health outcomes associated with Covid-19 vaccination, and a third study suggested the Covid-19 vaccine provided only 15% protection against the risk of “long Covid.” Taken together, the studies highlight the fact that Covid-19 vaccines are associated with serious risks for some, while their protective benefit has been overestimated.
Dr. Peter Kally reported on a small case series at last month’s American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery’s fall scientific symposium.
Kally, of Consultants in Ophthalmic and Facial Plastic Surgery and Beaumont Eye Institute in Michigan, concluded ophthalmologists should monitor patients with thyroid eye disease if they receive a Covid-19 vaccine because the shot may trigger thyroid eye disease flare. “It stands to reason that the immune response that you may get from a Covid vaccine or any vaccination may also trigger an autoimmune response,” Kally said, adding, “Covid vaccination is possibly associated with thyroid eye disease reactivation.” The case series, Kally said, involved five patients — four women and one man, average age of 60.2 years - who were seen between March 2020 and March 2022 at a single medical center for thyroid eye disease reactivation following their Covid-19 vaccination.
Three patients received the Pfizer shot, one received the Moderna vaccine and one received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The patients, who had received prior evaluations, including thyroid-specific tests and examinations, presented with worsening thyroid eye disease after their vaccinations.
The average presentation was 43 days after vaccination, with a range of 10-65 days, he noted.
The post-vaccination labs showed elevation of thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) with an average increase of 5 points. “TSI was a marker for current disease activity,” Kally explained.
“Correlation does not prove causation with any of this,” he added … “but this report is in alignment with other reports we have seen.” Vaccine-related encephalitis and myocarditis contributed to man’s death, autopsy shows A case report published Oct. 1 in the journal Vaccines presented the autopsy results of a 76-year-old man with Parkinson’s disease who died three weeks after his third Covid-10 shot. The autopsy showed that vaccine-related encephalitis and myocarditis were “contributors to the death.”
Report author Dr. Michael Mörz, of the Georg Schmorl Institute of Pathology at the Municipal Hospital Dresden-Friedrichstadt, Germany, said, “The stated cause of death appeared to be a recurrent attack of aspiration pneumonia, which is indeed common in Parkinson’s disease.”
However, the detailed autopsy — done at the request of the patient’s family due to his “ambiguous symptoms” — revealed additional pathology, in particular necrotizing encephalitis and myocarditis. Continue reading on childrenshealthdefense.org
Three doses of the Moderna Covid vaccine increase your risk of Omicron infection by up to 27 per cent, a study has found. The pre-print study (not yet peer-reviewed) was funded by Moderna itself and partly designed by employees of Moderna as well as involving researchers from Kaiser Permanente (a nonprofit provider of healthcare plans) in Southern California. The study’s reporting of poor outcomes for the original vaccine may be understood in the context of Moderna now having a ‘bivalent vaccine’ which targets Omicron.
The study used a test-negative case-control design to evaluate the Moderna Covid vaccine’s effectiveness against infection and hospitalization with Omicron subvariants. It included 30,809 test-positive and 92,427 test-negative individuals aged over 18 years during the first half of 2022. Results were adjusted for potential confounders such as age, sex and comorbidities.
The study found negative effectiveness (i.e., where the vaccinated have a higher infection rate than the unvaccinated) for three doses against all Omicron subvariants (BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5) except BA.1, where the waning was slower.
Vaccine effectiveness against infection was negative within five months (150 days) at around minus 25 per cent, meaning there were 25 per cent more infections in the vaccinated than in the unvaccinated. The results are shown below and I’ve marked the five-month figures in red. The lowest figure was for BA.2.12.1 at nearly minus 27 per cent.
A second recent study from Sweden (also in pre-print) also showed negative vaccine effectiveness against Omicron, this time for two doses and after just 15 weeks, with the trend moving deep into negative territory (see below). The study looked at all Swedish data from December 27 2020 to January 31 2022, meaning that for Omicron it only covered BA.1.
The Sweden study also showed vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization and death heading into negative territory after about a year (see below; hospitalization top, death bottom) – though this chart makes use of a spline curve, which the authors note may differ from the other data at later time points as it ‘assumes a linear association in the tails’ and also due to the low number of data points.
One oddity about the Sweden study is that for pre-Omicron it claims to show a high and non-waning vaccine effectiveness, as shown below.
This implies that the vaccine effectiveness remained over 90 per cent for nearly a year. This is very strange, as a study from Sweden using the same data but published in October 2021 found a sharp decline into negative territory by eight months.
Why does the new Sweden study, using the same population data, find such a different trend of vaccine effectiveness pre-Omicron? On the face of it it makes no sense. Dr Clare Craig commented to me that it appears (in Table s8) the authors used as a reference only one value for the unvaccinated, which had huge numbers of patients in it, suggesting they are using winter Covid in an unvaccinated population as their baseline rather than the unvaccinated levels at a similar point in time. She notes that rather than comparing with the unvaccinated, if you compare the figures for the periods after vaccination with each other the test positivity goes from 0.01 per cent up to 0.8 per cent as time passes, indicating a waning vaccine, in contrast to the non-waning vaccine presented in the chart.
It’s worth noting that a recent study from Oxford University found a similar negative vaccine effectiveness pre-Omicron in England data.
Why the picture of the vaccines we are gaining from studies isn’t always consistent is not really clear. However, what is clear is that a number of studies are now showing negative effectiveness, including studies from the manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies themselves. This is worrying as it raises questions of what may be causing it (assuming it is a real phenomenon and not an ...
On Sep. 20, using data covering 9 million people, Swedish researchers published a paper showing mRNA jabs may increase the risk of Omicron infection after three months. That finding received attention. But an even more intriguing nugget in the paper has so far gone unnoticed.
Based on one statistical analysis vaccinated people had a HIGHER risk of death or hospitalization from Covid roughly a year after receiving their second dose. The charts — b and d below — show that vaccine protection against death and hospitalization begins to decline slowly after about five months and then plunges about nine months.
(The top chart shows the relative risk of infection, hospitalization, intensive care, and death by week after two vaccine doses. The red line marks zero effectiveness; when the blue line falls below it, it is suggesting vaccinated people are at higher risk of infection.)
(This is the same chart, but only including the risk of death)

This data provides real-world evidence of possible vaccine-caused “antibody dependent enhancement.” In ADE, vaccines cause our immune systems to produce antibodies that help a virus or other pathogen to attack us.
Still, the finding should not be viewed as definitive. It is based on relatively few deaths in the later time periods, which is why the confidence intervals (the dashed lines around the blue line) widen hugely after 40 weeks.
When the researchers used a different statistical method known as standard polynomial regression to analyze the data, they found the vaccines remained moderately effective against hospitalizations and death. In fact, protection actually appeared to increase slightly around a year - a trend that is counterintuitive at best.
Dr. Yiyi Xu, the paper’s lead author, did not endorse either method as superior but said via email the researchers need more data to know which finding might be correct.
Both types of analysis “provide more accurate estimates if there is a sufficient number of cases,” she wrote. “There are very few cases of death and a relatively low number of hospitalization cases around week 40 and later, so the estimation is quite uncertain for both analyses.”
So which statistical method is more likely to be accurate? Is the finding that the vaccines actually increase risk real?
Independent experts on statistics disagreed. One suggested the technique showing the negative efficacy - called a cubic spline — actually is likely to be more correct than the other: With “standard” (aka single polynomial) regression – blue line – you can fit any data, if you give it enough freedom. The price for that, is that the better it fits the data you give it, the worse it will be at explaining new data, and especially so at the edges… Splines, due to the way they are built, avoid this problem and produce more sensical (hence more useful) predictive models. But another wrote: I personally happen to believe strongly that these vaccines will have negative efficacy… But as a statistician I feel you simply cannot make that claim with confidence off the back of a spline like this. In any case, even the standard model shows a sharp decrease in the value of a two-dose regimen over time. It falls below 45 percent protection from death around nine months before making its odd turn up.
Yes, mRNA vaccines will save you from dying from Covid.

Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) just recently won a major lawsuit brought against the CDC, requiring the agency to turn over its V-safe Covid Vaccine Injury Data. In order to collect health evaluations following vaccination against Covid-19, the CDC developed a tool called V-safe that runs on smartphones. Over 10 million participants signed up and submitted their health data.
“V-safe provides personalized and confidential health check-ins via text messages and web surveys so you can quickly and easily share with CDC how you, or your dependent, feel after getting a Covid-19 vaccine. This information helps CDC monitor the safety of Covid-19 vaccines in near real time,” said CDC.
After a successful lawsuit, ICAN was granted access to V-safe Covid Vaccine Injury Data from the CDC.
“To make this data public, ICAN activated its legal team. After suing the CDC twice, the CDC capitulated in a court order requiring the release of the data,” according to the company news release. “ICAN has taken the CDC’s official raw data and created a visual dashboard interface for ease of use.”
Users will be able to see a visual representation of the more than 144 million lines of health data gathered through ICAN’s lawsuit against the CDC by using the customized dashboard. (See image below) According to the data, Out of the 10 million people who used v-safe, 3,353,110 were hurt. And 6,458,751 health impacts were reported by v-safe users. Options for health impacts were:
unable to work or attend school; unable to do your normal daily activities; and/or get care from a doctor or other healthcare professional.
Each user could have submitted more than one health impact both during one check-in or over time in multiple check-ins.
On Tuesday’s episode of “Fox News @ Night” with Chase Gallagher, human rights and vaccine attorney Aaron Siri discussed the CDC data on vaccine risk and impact.
It took 463 days and two lawsuits for CDC to turn over the data to Aaron Siri. “Of the 10 million users within V-safe, 7.7% of them had to seek medical care after vaccination. That is an incredibly high percentage, it appears to me,” Siri said. “7.7 required medical care, talking about emergency rooms, hospitalizations. And on top of that, another 2.5 million, we’re talking 25% missed work or school or had bad reactions to the vaccine,” Gallagher said. Click to watch the video below:

A top vaccine expert and pediatric doctor is cautioning parents of healthy young people to hold off getting the new Covid booster shot, saying it can carry risks and its efficacy hasn’t yet been proven. Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a member of the Food and Drug Administration’s Vaccine Advisory Committee, said he’s not fully sold on the benefits of a third shot outweighing the harm.
‘Who really benefits from another dose?’ Offit said on CNN.
He did acknowledge that studies have shown people who are over 65, immuno-compromised or have a chronic ailments are less likely to be hospitalized with the virus if they’ve had a third or even fourth shot.
The newly developed dose, called a bivalent vaccine, is a cocktail of the original coronavirus strain combined with parts of the omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants. The hope being that people would be able to fight a broader range of more highly contagious virus mutations. But writing in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week, Offitt said preliminary data suggested the new bivalent vaccines were actually worse at warding off Covid infections than the first generation of shots. He highlighted data comparing Moderna’s original Covid vaccine and its new bivalent update. Of a test group given both shots, 11 people who’d received bivalent vaccines contracted the virus, while just five people who received the original ‘monovalent’ shot caught Covid.
Offit warned that the Biden administration that ‘overselling’ the new bivalent vaccines without more data could ‘erode the public’s trust’ in them.
He explained that the FDA’s recent approval of a the new vaccine cooked up by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech comes with little assurances and some risks.
‘A healthy young person is unlikely to benefit from the extra dose,’ he said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported that vaccine side-effects, like myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, an inflammation of the heart’s outer lining, are rare, but they most often occur in adolescents and young men.
Myocarditis can even be fatal, with young people far less likely to suffer a severe Covid infection than older people.
‘When you are asking people to get a vaccine, I think there has to be clear evidence of benefit,’ he said, adding that it’s unrealistic to have clinical trials of the latest dose. ‘You’d like to have, at least, human data,’ he said. So far, the only tests on the new shots have been done on lab mice. ‘Right now they’re saying we should trust mouse data,’ he said, ‘and I don’t think that should ever be true.’ Offit voted against approval of the new vaccine.
‘If there’s not clear evidence of benefit, then it’s not fair, I think, to ask people to take a risk no matter how small,’ Offit said.
The doctor recently cautioned that pushing the new shot without the supporting evidence risks ‘eroding the public’s trust.’
He said the studies regarding the bivalent vaccine so far were ‘underwhelming.’
The increased emphasis on boosters is at odds with President Joe Biden’s recent announcement that ‘the pandemic is over.’
‘The pandemic is over,’ Biden told 60 Minutes. ‘We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape, and so I think it’s changing.’
The president’s declaration runs counter with what his administration’s health officials have been saying.
‘We have a virus out there that’s still circulating, still killing hundreds of Americans every day,’ White House Covid-19 response coordinator, Ashish Jha, said at a September 9 press briefing.
‘I think we all as Americans have to pull together to try to protect Americans … and do what we can to get our health-care system through what might be a difficult fall and winter ahead.’
A new paper in the peer-reviewed medical literature just came out showing the Covid vaccines, and not Covid, is causing myocarditis and encephalitis leading to death. The paper is entitled: A Case Report: Multifocal Necrotizing Encephalitis and Myocarditis after BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccination against Covid-19.
It was published on Oct 1, and now has already has over 100,000 views of the abstract and over 6,000 views of the full text.
Here’s the abstract:
The current report presents the case of a 76-year-old man with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who died three weeks after receiving his third Covid-19 vaccination. The patient was first vaccinated in May 2021 with the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vector vaccine, followed by two doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in July and December 2021.
The family of the deceased requested an autopsy due to ambiguous clinical signs before death. PD was confirmed by post-mortem examinations. Furthermore, signs of aspiration pneumonia and systemic arteriosclerosis were evident.
However, histopathological analyses of the brain uncovered previously unsuspected findings, including acute vasculitis (predominantly lymphocytic) as well as multifocal necrotizing encephalitis of unknown etiology with pronounced inflammation including glial and lymphocytic reaction. In the heart, signs of chronic cardiomyopathy as well as mild acute lympho-histiocytic myocarditis and vasculitis were present.
Although there was no history of Covid-19 for this patient, immunohistochemistry for SARS-CoV-2 antigens (spike and nucleocapsid proteins) was performed. Surprisingly, only spike protein but no nucleocapsid protein could be detected within the foci of inflammation in both the brain and the heart, particularly in the endothelial cells of small blood vessels.
Since no nucleocapsid protein could be detected, the presence of spike protein must be ascribed to vaccination rather than to viral infection. The findings corroborate previous reports of encephalitis and myocarditis caused by gene-based Covid-19 vaccines.
For those not familiar with the medical lingo, necrotizing means tissue death and multifocal means “all over your brain.”
And “corroborate previous reports” means this is happening over and over again. For more information Here’s an article summarizing how vaccines can cause sudden death and the existing autopsy studies that predated this one. They all show the same thing and you see a lot from putting them all into context. This effect can be both sudden and delayed.
Here is the German study on this:
On Covid vaccines: why they cannot work, and irrefutable evidence of their causative role in deaths after vaccination (all 15 cases) Video explanation of their findings (with English voiceover on the first 10 cases)
Their team was able to develop a way to test for spike protein in tissue and recently confirmed it was found in the tissues of vaccine victims. Summary In plain English, the vaccines can kill cells in your brain and your heart causing you to die.
Vaccines are never supposed to do that.
The CDC is silent on this and they’re not going to alert anyone. That’s the job of misinformation superspreaders like me.

Coronavirus cases and hospitalizations are rising once again in England after declining since early July, data suggests, with experts warning people should stay at home if ill and get a Covid booster if eligible. According to the latest figures on the government coronavirus dashboard, both the number of cases detected through mass community testing, and patients admitted to hospital with Covid have risen in the past seven days, suggesting the country could be facing a resurgence of the virus.
On Monday, 781 Covid patients were admitted to hospital in England, up from 519 the week before, with the seven day total rising 17%, from 3,434 in the week ending 12 September to 4,015 in the week ending 19 September.
As noted by the Health Service Journal, admissions in the south-west rose 39%, to 509, in the last seven days, and by 30% in the north-east and Yorkshire region.
While data on Covid infection levels across the UK is expected from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) tomorrow, data from the Zoe health study suggests cases are rising, with hints also seen in the latest figures for the number of cases picked up in mass community testing in England.

A former National Guardsman from Maine says he was given a Covid-19 vaccination despite seeking a religious exemption from the mandated shot. In response, a representative for the Maine National Guard called the incident a mistake, according to Just the News. Former National Guard Spc. Mathew Bouchard told the outlet he was getting a flu shot in November, two months before he was ready to leave the Guard, after filling out the required Covid-19 vaccine refusal forms.
Bouchard said two lines had been formed for the shots, one for the Covid-19 vaccine and one for the flu shot. At one point, he said, the noncommissioned officer giving the Covid-19 shots said that those wanting flu shots could come into his line. When questioned, the NCO changed his mind, Bouchard said. The day after getting the shot, Bouchard said, he was told he had received the mRNA vaccine, but that this was not part of a plan.
R. Davis Younts, an attorney for the former guardsman, said he was a “victim” of what the Guard described as a “mistake” and was “[n]ever interviewed and never informed of the investigation or the outcome of the investigation,” according to Just the News.
Bouchard, who tried to pursue a local police complaint but was told it was a federal case, might make a complaint to the inspector general, Younts said.
According to the report, he and another National Guardsman said other service members expecting flu shots got the Covid-19 vaccine.
For this “to happen different times to more than one person is troubling,” Younts said, adding that it was “a big deal for someone to receive the wrong medical treatment.”
The attorney said the climate around vaccinations could be a contributing factor.
Commanders face “tremendous pressure” to get troops vaccinated “no matter what,” Younts said. “The commanders must account for how many of their members are vaccinated and will be judged harshly for those who aren’t.”
He said that in that climate, commanders could make mistakes or try “to cut corners or do things that are suspicious.”
A Guard representative told Just the News the incident was a “mistake.”
“The Maine National Guard has not, and would never purposefully administer a Covid vaccine in place of an influenza vaccine,” the representative said in a statement. “A very small number of service members were accidentally given a Covid vaccine several months ago during a clinic for service members where both shots were being administered,” the representative said. “Those involved were informed as soon as the error was made known, the incident was investigated, and protocols were adjusted appropriately to ensure the same mistake was not made again.” In June, the Maine National Guard reported that 95 percent of its service members were vaccinated against Covid-19, according to WCSH-TV.
“Of the 54 state and territorial National Guard elements, Maine has consistently been in the top 5 for vaccination percentage for quite some time,” Maine National Guard Public Affairs Officer Maj. Carl Lamb said.
“I think it’s partly the emphasis of our supervisors, and commanders, and leaders on educating the members on the vaccination, what it meant, and why it is important,” Maine National Guard Adjutant General Doug Farnham said, according to WCSH.
“Also, just the culture here in the state of Maine. Maine as a whole did a great job getting vaccinations done compared to some other parts of the country,” Farnham said.
In August, the Navy reported about 1,500 reservists and active-duty troops were separated from the service for not being vaccinated against Covid-19, according to USNI News.
At that time, there were more than 6,000 service members with pending religious exemption requests. Continue reading on www.westernjournal.com
Two doses of Covid-19 vaccine make you 44% more likely to be infected, a study from Oxford University has found, contradicting the basis of global vaccine policy, which assumes vaccination significantly cuts incidence and transmission. The study, published in the Lancet, looked at all infections reported in England among adults registered at a medical practice from December 8th 2020 to November 17th 2021, meaning it spanned the Alpha and Delta periods. It used a case-control design to estimate vaccine effectiveness, allowing potential confounding factors such as age, sex and underlying conditions to be controlled for, while individuals with prior infection were excluded.
The results for effectiveness against positive Covid test (i.e., reported infection), which were found buried away in the supplementary appendix, are shown below.
I’ve highlighted in yellow three key figures. The top two show that in the two weeks following the first jab individuals were three to four times more likely to test positive for Covid than their unvaccinated counterparts. This is further confirmation of the post-jab spike in infections that has often been noted and which there is evidence is a result of the vaccination temporarily reducing immunity.
The third figure shows that two weeks or more after the second jab – which during 2021 was regarded as ‘fully vaccinated’ – individuals were 44% more likely to be infected than their unvaccinated counterparts. This is negative vaccine effectiveness (where infections are higher in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated) of minus-44%.
This negative effectiveness is in line with what was seen in the raw data from England at the time and also in studies from other countries, but contradicts the Government’s official estimates, which claimed effectiveness to be 60-85% against Delta infection. The new study indicates that the negative effectiveness was not just a result of confounding factors or a ‘catch-up’ effect, where the vaccinated have lower infection rates initially then higher infection rates as the effect of the vaccine wears off, as some have claimed.
Acknowledging the figures, the authors write: “Surprisingly, we observed a higher risk of test positivity after vaccination with one or two doses across all BMI groups, which is contrary to evidence reported by the U.K. ONS.” What they don’t mention is that it is fully in line with data from the UKHSA, nor that the ONS is known to overestimate infection rates in the unvaccinated because it underestimates the population – the ONS puts the unvaccinated adult population at 8% whereas the NIMS database puts it at 19% (and surveys higher still at 26%).
The authors state that the “hospital admission and death outcomes were considered more robust outcomes than infection” owing to “variability in testing” and a potentially “high proportion of asymptomatic infections”. The implication is that unvaccinated people were less likely to get tested when infected, suppressing the positive test rate in the unvaccinated. No evidence is provided for this claim, however, nor any attempt made to quantify the possible size of the difference.
The study was published in June but went largely unnoticed until Alex Berenson wrote about it last week. Alex also draws attention to the fact that vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation and death is much weaker than was claimed at the time.
Vaccine effectiveness against death 14 or more days after the second jab is just 61% (the first highlighted figure), well below the 90-99% claimed by the Government. Note that the overall protection will be even lower owing to the vaccinated being more likely to be infected: the 44% higher infection rate mentioned above would reduce the 61% effectiveness to just 34%.
Oddly, the vaccine effectiveness against death in the week following the third jab (the second highlighted figure) jumps up to 97%, from 61% following the second jab,
The great martial artist Bruce Lee reputedly said that all mistakes are forgivable—if one has the courage to admit the mistake. Paul Fenyves, a primary care physician in New York City who specializes in internal medicine, seems to have learned this lesson. Fenyves, a primary care doctor at Weill Cornell Medicine, recently admitted he was wrong to support vaccine mandates. “I was initially supportive of Covid vaccine mandates in the Fall of 2021. At the time, I was told that Covid vaccines don’t only protect the individual receiving the vaccine, but they also benefit the community by reducing spread of the virus,” Fenyves wrote on the Substack Sensible Medicine.
Convinced that mandatory vaccination would create a “wall of immunity” that would bring the pandemic to an end more quickly, Fenyves said it seemed “reasonable to prioritize societal welfare over individual autonomy,” noting that early clinical trials of Pfizer’s vaccine were shown to stop 95 percent of infections. “Surely a vaccine that prevents almost all infections would halt community spread, right? Wrong,” he writes. “Perhaps there was a time when Covid vaccines could significantly reduce community transmission, but that time was short-lived, and the virus quickly evolved and learned to evade vaccine-induced immunity.” For Fenyves, his awakening moment came in December 2021, when Portugal experienced a massive surge of Covid despite a vaccination rate of more than 90 percent. Fenyves concedes there are other reasons one could support mandatory vaccination even if it doesn’t reduce community spread, noting that some contend forced vaccination is moral because it’s done “for their own good.”
“I find these arguments to be weak justifications for violating an individual’s autonomy and mandating a medical intervention,” he writes. “Furthermore, these arguments are completely inadequate when applied to young people, whose risk of hospitalization from Covid is low, and whose likelihood of benefiting from vaccination is similarly low.” Of Knowledge and Humility Some may argue that Fenyves is right about vaccine mandates, but for the wrong reasons.
Vinay Prasad, an associate professor in University of California, San Francisco’s Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, argues vaccine mandates would be wrong even if there was a community benefit because the social costs are too high.
“My conclusion was always that the societal harm of mandates far exceeds any benefit, and as such I always opposed mandates,” writes Prasad in an introduction to Fenyves’s article.
Others might wonder why it took Fenyves until December 2021 to recognize he was wrong about vaccine mandates. Put aside for a moment that vaccine mandates violate bodily autonomy and the non-aggression principle, which makes them inherently immoral.
As early as August 2021 it was clear that “vaccine breakthroughs” were quite common and that naturally immunity conferred powerful protection against Covid. Why was it not until December 2021 that Fenyves realized he was wrong about vaccine mandates?
These are fair points, but they should not overshadow the larger lesson Fenyves is sharing, which is that scientists and public health officials must act more humbly with their immense power and recognize the limits of their knowledge. “Those in the medical community who, like me, argued that vaccines should be mandated to protect the community should feel chastened,” writes Fenyves. “When considering mandating vaccines in the future, we should proceed with humility, acknowledging that our knowledge is far from perfect and our truths are often transitory.” ‘The Curious Task of Economics’ Two words in the last sentence are incredibly important: knowledge and humility.
These same two words are found in F.A. Hayek’s famous 1974 Nobel Prize speech, in which he warned against scientists and planners acting on “a pretense of knowledge.” Instead of recognizing the limitations of knowledge in an...
Millions of federal dollars have continued flowing into EcoHealth Alliance, the New York-based nonprofit under heavy scrutiny for its role in funneling public money to a key laboratory in China for bat coronavirus research that many believe may have caused the Covid-19 pandemic. On Sept. 21, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued three grants to EcoHealth to fund its Asia-based research into viruses that have the potential to infect humans and spark an outbreak, government records show. At a total of $2.76 million, the funding marks an increase of nearly $700,000 from the amount awarded in 2021, and is the largest sum the organization has received from the NIH in a single year.
The grants—two of which have received NIH funding for three consecutive years—came amid mounting congressional scrutiny over EcoHealth’s years-long partnership with the Wuhan lab that has been at the center of a lab-leak theory on the origins of Covid-19.
Two of the grant projects are headed by the organization’s president, Peter Daszak, who has repeatedly dismissed the lab-leak hypothesis, labeling it a conspiracy theory.
That EcoHealth has funded risky research by the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) means that U.S. authorities should cease funding the organization altogether, some critics argue.
“Giving taxpayer money to EcoHealth to study pandemic prevention is like paying a suspected arsonist to conduct fire safety inspections. You would think we would have learned a lesson the first time, but here we are again with the same plot but a bigger budget!” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) told The Epoch Times in an email. Controversial Grant to Wuhan Lab The NIH in July 2020 suspended a multi-year grant worth $3.7 million to EcoHealth to study bat coronaviruses in China in collaboration with WIV, over concerns the grantees weren’t complying with the grant terms. Experts previously told The Epoch Times that the experiments conducted in the grant met the definition of gain-of-function—research that increases the transmissibility or pathogenicity of a virus. The NIH has denied that characterization.
During a review of the concerns, the NIH found that EcoHealth had failed to report a WIV experiment that made the bat coronavirus more dangerous. The agency in November 2021 and again in January asked EcoHealth for copies of laboratory notebook entries and original electronic files from the research conducted at the Wuhan facility, but without success, causing the NIH to eventually terminate the WIV sub-award on Aug. 19, the NIH told the Committee on Oversight and Reform in a letter of the same date (pdf).
Despite the termination, the NIH allowed EcoHealth to retain the grant by proposing, within 30 days, an alternative plan to accomplish the goals of the original project without the WIV’s involvement, the agency said in another letter (pdf) on Aug. 19.
The revised grant, according to the first letter, will be screened to ensure it’s in line with a 2017 framework (pdf) governing the review of proposed gain-of-function research. If the revised grant were approved, it would also be subject to additional oversight by the NIH, including onsite inspections of sub-recipient labs every six months to review their compliance. Benefits of New Grant Questioned Titled “Analyzing the Potential for Future Bat Coronavirus Emergence in Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam,” the five-year project led by Daszak will focus on three southeastern Asian countries neighboring China, with a goal to “analyze the behavioral and environmental risk factors for spillover of novel CoVs [coronaviruses], identify wildlife-to-human spillover events, assess the risk and drivers of community transmission and spread, and test potential public health interventions to disrupt spillover and spread,” according to a project summary published on the NIH website.
The 2022 funding of $653,392 from NIH is also comparable to the terminated grant, which received roughly $3.
Newly obtained emails show the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made a false statement on Covid-19 vaccine safety monitoring in 2021, months before agency officials gave false statements on the matter to The Epoch Times. The emails also show top officials in the agency discussing performing safety monitoring on a key database for myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation that has been linked to the vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna.
The CDC promised in 2021 in a set of operating procedures to perform a type of analysis called Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR) on reports of adverse reactions following Covid-19 vaccination. The reports are submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which officials have described as “the nation’s early warning system” for post-vaccination adverse events. The CDC also said in an updated set of operating procedures in 2022 that it would perform the analysis. But the CDC has made false statements three times this year on PRRs, initially saying such analysis was outside the agency’s purview, then saying the analysis was performed starting in 2021, then saying the analysis did not begin until 2022. The newly obtained emails show that an official falsely said the CDC does not perform PRR analysis to an editor in 2021. John Gregory, a health editor at NewsGuard, wrote to the CDC on Oct. 19, 2021, asking for a comment regarding a claim that the CDC’s PRR analysis cannot accurately identify when a vaccine causes adverse events, one of the emails shows. Martha Sharan, a CDC spokeswoman, sent the query to Dr. John Su, who leads the CDC’s VAERS team, and Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, who also works on vaccine safety.
Their responses were redacted apart from a comment on NewsGuard. Sharan then wrote that she’d spoken to Gregory.
“I spoke to the reporter and explained that CDC does not do PPR analysis. The reporter is not going to pursue this any further!” she wrote, adding later that she meant PRR.
That contradicts the operating procedures, which state that the CDC “will perform Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR) analysis” on VAERS reports.
“We let our published content speak for itself,” Gregory told The Epoch Times in an email when notified that the CDC does actually perform PRRs. ‘That’s a New One to Me’ In June 2022, the CDC falsely told Children’s Health Defense, a nonprofit, that PRR analysis is “outside of th[e] agency’s purview.” An Associated Press reporter, Angelo Fichera, flagged a Children’s Health Defense article on the statement to the CDC, asking whether the CDC had ever performed the analysis, according to the newly obtained emails.
Kristen Nordlund, another CDC spokeswoman, forwarded the query to Sharan. “Martha—thoughts on this one?” she asked.
“That’s a new one on me—proportional reporting ratios’—I need to send this one to John,” Sharan responded.
Sharan later sent a statement about PRRs to The Associated Press and the Washington Examiner. The Associated Press and NewsGuard never published stories on the topic. After The Epoch Times reported on contradictory statements from the CDC, the Examiner published an article about the developments. Fichera, Sharan, and Su did not respond to requests for comment for this article.
The emails were obtained by The Epoch Times and an independent researcher through FOIA requests.
“The CDC claims to be vigilantly and transparently monitoring the safety of Covid-19 vaccines, but when it comes to Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR) analysis, the CDC’s broken promises, inconsistent statements, stonewalling, and double standards tell a different story,” Mary Holland, president and general counsel of Children’s Health Defense, told The Epoch Times via email. “When asked about PRR analysis in connection with Covid vaccines—through FOIA, media, and congressional requests—CDC has made conflicting statements, some of them false. When confronted about the statements, the CDC claimed, essentially,
A recent court decision found that Western University’s collection of data related to students’ vaccination status does not infringe on students' rights to privacy, where it ruled against The Democracy Fund (TDF) in whether or not the university could lawfully collect the students’ vaccination status. The court explained its decision by mentioning that it does “not accept that the Policy will 'force' members of the university community to disclose their personal information.”
“I am also not persuaded that a disposal order is warranted in the circumstances,” the court stated.
“The relief sought is broad. The applicants did not provide any authority in support of this relief. The applicants confirmed on the hearing of the application that they want all proof of vaccine information collected by Western to be destroyed. The court does not comprehend any reasonable basis for such a broad order. Among other issues, proof of vaccine information in the 2021-2022 year was collected pursuant to the province’s mandate.”
Following this decision, the students decided to appeal, with the help of TDF and Lisa Bildy of Libertas Law.
“The students' legal team had argued that an institution's ‘lawfully authorized activities’ are the services or programs for which the institution exists to provide to the community – in this case, the provision of post-secondary education and other incidental activities,” stated TDF in their recent press release. The registered-charity then explained why it is their belief that Western University does not need to collect private medical information to successfully perform their lawfully authorized activities.
“Institutions may be empowered to create policies to manage their affairs and further their objectives, but these policies are not their "lawfully authorized activities" under FIPPA,” they wrote.
To justify the university’s current mandates, Western University’s provost and vice-president, Florentine Strzelczyk, delivered a statement.
“While we can’t predict when the next wave of Covid-19 might come, we believe these measures will help us protect the in-person experience that Western is known for,” she affirmed. “We want to do everything we can to offer our students a great on-campus experience throughout the academic year.” Continue reading on www.rebelnews.com
Pfizer Chief Executive Albert Bourla has pulled out of an appointment to testify before the European Parliament's special committee on Covid-19, at which he was expected to face tough questions on how secretive vaccine deals were struck. The decision follows an audit report into the EU's vaccine procurement strategy published earlier in the month that raised new questions about contact between Bourla and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that preceded a multibillion-euro vaccine contract.
The head of the U.S. pharmaceutical giant, the largest supplier of Covid-19 vaccines to the EU, was scheduled to appear before the panel on October 10. The committee is meeting with key officials involved in the EU's vaccine procurement process to draw lessons on how to respond to future pandemics. Other pharmaceutical executives have addressed the committee, including the CEO of Moderna and senior officials from AstraZeneca and Sanofi.
The committee's chair, Belgian MEP Kathleen Van Brempt, told POLITICO she "deeply regrets" the decision taken by Pfizer.
After a visit to BioNTech's headquarters last week, Van Brempt had said in a written statement that she looked forward to discussions "with other CEOs" including "Mr. Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer" on October 10.
The report, by the European Court of Auditors, found that von der Leyen had been directly involved in preliminary negotiations for the EU's biggest vaccine contract, for up to 1.8 billion doses of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine, which was concluded in May 2021. This was a departure from the negotiating procedure followed with other contracts, where a joint negotiating team made up of officials from the Commission and member countries conducted exploratory talks. The EU watchdog also noted that the Commission refused to provide records of the discussions with Pfizer, either in the form of minutes, names of experts consulted, agreed terms, or other evidence. Already in 2021, the New York Times reported on the seemingly-cozy relationship between Bourla and von der Leyen, with the two exchanging text messages in the run-up to the deal. Contacted by POLITICO, a spokesperson for Pfizer said the company's president of international development markets, Janine Small, would attend the committee hearing. "She has been identified as best placed to support the committee in meeting their objectives," the spokesperson said. Continue reading on www.politico.eu
The impact of the Covid pandemic may have been so deep that it altered people’s personalities, according to research. Previously psychologists have failed to find a link between collective stressful events, such as earthquakes or hurricanes, and personality change. However, something about the losses experienced or simply the long grind of social isolation appears to have made an impact. “Younger adults became moodier and more prone to stress, less cooperative and trusting, and less restrained and responsible,” according to the authors of the study, led by Prof Angelina Sutin of Florida State University College of Medicine. Sutin and colleagues used assessments of personality from 7,109 people enrolled in the online Understanding America Study that had been repeated at various times before and during the pandemic. Participants were given a widely used personality test that measures five traits – neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness.
Participants, aged 18 to 109, took the tests pre-pandemic, early and later in the pandemic, with an average of three tests per participant.
During the first phase of the pandemic (March to December 2020), personality was relatively stable, with only a small decline in neuroticism compared with pre-pandemic. This could be down to Covid “providing a reason” for feelings of anxiety and making it less likely for people to blame their own disposition, the authors suggested.
The findings are published in the journal Plos One. Continue reading on www.theguardian.com
In terrible news for Covid vaccine enthusiasts, only 1 out of 573 residents of Florida took the new safe and effective bivalent booster, extensively tested on 8 mice and fully approved by “science”.
Considering that Florida’s population is 21,220,000 people, this works out to one out of 573 Floridians taking the new and improved science juice. The rest decided to pass for now.
Bivalent Covid vaccine uptake is moribund everywhere. Only 4.4 million doses were administered in the entire USA. This works out to 1.3% of Americans (one person out of 76) taking the bivalent boosters. Reminder, our Federal government purchased, and printed money to pay for, 171 million doses.
Why is the uptake of the bivalent booster, per 1,000 persons, greater in the USA as a whole than in Florida? The boosters are surely available to any Florida resident, right? The reason is that in other places, some holdouts keep vaccine mandates, demanding hapless young people to take Covid vaccines, and in Florida, such mandates are banned.
Go to at www.nocollegemandates.com to fight these stupid, and deadly, mandates.
So, just running the math, had there not been remaining mandates to take the boosters, instead of one out of 76 Americans taking the bivalent, only one of 573 would take it — of SEVEN TIMES FEWER. The same is happening in Germany, by the way.
Such is the time that we live in — only one out of 573 Americans still believes in science.
Is that good or bad? And is that even science? Continue reading on igorchudov.substack.com
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) researchers are preparing to publish a study on a set of data that identified four potential issues in elderly persons after Covid-19 vaccination. The FDA announced in July 2021 that near real-time surveillance detected four potential adverse events of interest (AEI) following receipt of Pfizer’s vaccine.
The agency has given zero updates on the matter since then, until Sept. 30, when a spokesperson said that a study on the surveillance is expected to be published soon.
“The medical record review and statistical analyses have recently been completed, and the overall study results are currently under internal review at FDA,” the spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email. “Release of the study findings is expected later this fall.”
The spokesperson did not respond to a request for more details.
Pfizer did not respond to a request for comment.
In 2021, the FDA said the four potential adverse events of interest were detected by analyzing the health care claims database for Medicare, the government insurance plan that covers people aged 65 and older.
The events were blood clotting in the lungs, insufficient oxygen to the heart, low blood platelet levels, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
Moderna Inc (MRNA.O) has refused to hand over to China the core intellectual property behind the development of its Covid-19 vaccine, leading to a collapse in negotiations on its sale there, the Financial Times reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based pharmaceutical company turned down China’s request to hand over the recipe for its mRNA vaccine because of commercial and safety concerns, the newspaper said, citing people involved in negotiations that took place between 2020 and 2021, adding that the vaccine maker is still “eager” to sell the product to China.
The company had “given up” on its previous efforts to access the Chinese market because of China’s demand that it hand over the technology as a prerequisite for selling in the country, the report said.
Moderna did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
China has not approved any foreign Covid-19 vaccines and relies on several domestically developed shots.
In September, Moderna Chief Medical Officer Paul Burton had said the company was keen to collaborate with China on supplying its mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines to the country.
"We would certainly be very eager to collaborate with China if they felt that there was a need for a vaccine there," Burton had told a media briefing for reporters in Asia. "Currently, there is no activity going on, but we'd be very open to it." Continue reading on www.reuters.com
Covid vaccines are currently killing an estimated 10,000 people a day worldwide, with total fatalities likely in the 5 – 12 million range. These numbers come from rigorous analysis of mortality data (excess deaths) following the introduction of Covid vaccines in early 2021. Because excess deaths are very difficult for governments to hide, these excess deaths are emerging as the smoking gun for overall vaccine deaths.
Steve Kirsch estimates that 1 person is currently dead from vaccines for every 1,000 doses administered. In the United States, roughly 600 million doses have been administered so far (yes, more than one for every person in the country), and that roughly equates to about 600,000 deaths in the USA (and counting).
Worldwide, with over 12 billion doses administered, we have likely seen around 12 million deaths so far.
More conservative estimates put that number at 5 million rather than 12 million, but in either case it’s in the millions globally. Why the deaths are going to continue to climb even if the vaccines are halted right now Importantly, we know that post-vaccine deaths are distributed over time. While a few people die in the first 48 hours, many deaths are taking place many months or even a year or two after the vaccine injections. Why is this happening?
Fact #1) The clots grow larger over time, inside the body’s circulatory system. This means they are self-assembling systems / bio-machinery.
Fact #2) As they grow larger, they accumulate or harvest certain elements from the circulating blood supply. Via ICP-MS laboratory testing, we have conclusively shown that Tin, Aluminum and Sodium are being harvested from the blood and incorporated into the structures of the clots.
Fact #3) As the clots grow, they take up more space in the blood vessels. At first, the live blood simply flows around the clots. But clots may be dislodged during rigorous physical activity (such as jogging or playing soccer), or the clots may at some point achieve a 100% blockage of the artery, resulting in a “died suddenly” event.
Importantly, it appears that these clots take many months or even a year or two to grow to sufficient size to fully block blood vessels and arteries.
This means the deaths observed so far are only a fraction of the deaths yet to come.
Many people who took these jabs, in other words, are ticking time bombs of inevitable cardiovascular blockage and death. It’s only a matter of time before the clots grow larger enough to halt blood flow. Once blood flow to the brain is halted, death ensues in a matter of a few minutes. These are not blood clots, and anti-clotting drugs do nothing to resolve these clots To our knowledge, there is no known cure to dissolve or remove these clots from the cardiovascular system. We have interviewed physicians who have attempted to treat these clots with powerful anti-clotting medications such as Heparin, and these drugs achieve nothing.
That’s because these clots are not blood clots. They are elastic, rugged biostructures that resemble the strength and texture of rubber bands. I have manipulated these clots on live broadcast streaming (via the Alex Jones Show) where, under a lab microscope, I demonstrated the shocking strength and resilience of these clot structures. Again, they are not blood clots. They are strong, rubbery-like protein biostructures that absolutely do not belong in the human body.
Under a microscope, they look like this, which is nothing like a blood clot:
In addition, as we have conclusively shown via ICP-MS lab tests, these clots are almost completely lacking the key elements of life that would be present in blood, such as Iron, Magnesium and Potassium.
Element Blood Results Clot Results
Mg (magnesium) 35 ppm 1.7 ppm
K (potassium) 1893 ppm 12.5 ppm
Fe (iron) 462 ppm 20.6 ppm
Zn (zinc) 7.9 ppm 2.4 ppm
Cl (chlorine) 930,000 ppm 290,000 ppm
P (phosphorous) 1130 ppm
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law Friday that will allow for physicians to be disciplined for "misinformation" and "disinformation" in relation to Covid, sparking a protest at the State Capitol. Newsom defended his approval of the bill, AB 2098, permitting the state medical board to punish doctors for infractions.
"I am signing this bill because it is narrowly tailored to apply only to those egregious instances in which a licensee is acting with malicious intent or clearly deviating from the required standard of care while interacting directly with a patient under their care," the progressive governor wrote in his signing message, reported Epoch Times.
According to the bill, introduced by Democratic Assemblyman Evan Low, "misinformation" is "false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care," while "disinformation" means "misinformation that the licensee deliberately disseminated with malicious intent or an intent to mislead."
Newsom acknowledged that while other similar bills may negatively impact doctors' abilities to effectively communicate with their patience, this law is safe.
"I am concerned about the chilling effect other potential laws may have on physicians and surgeons who need to be able to effectively talk to their patients about the risks and benefits of treatments for a disease that appeared in just the last few years," he wrote. "However, I am confident that discussing emerging ideas or treatments including the subsequent risks and benefits does not constitute misinformation or disinformation under this bill’s criteria."
Media personality and Covid vaccine mandate critic Drew Pinsky, commonly known as Dr. Drew, expressed his skepticism on his live show.
"If I say anything other than standard empty slogans as specified by the acadmeic and bureaucratic structure... that would qualify as misinformation," he said, giving an example of what he might say to a younger patient who may benefit from natural immunity over vaccination.
Leigh Dundas, a human rights attorney, was one of the protestors at the capitol building in Sacramento, reported California Globe. "Censorship and criminalization are not the bulwarks of a free society," she said during the rally of anti-censorship advocates. "The stark reality is if we are to remain a Constitutional Republic, then doctors must remain free to practice medicine."
"Science and medicine are constantly evolving by challenging the status quo," Dundas added.
According to the lawyer, if the law stands, "guess who is next on the chopping block – the press."
When tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsch addressed the protesters, he called out Democratic state Sen. Richard Pan, who is also a practicing pediatrician, for supporting the bill.
"I'm labeled a misinformation superspreader, but Dr. Pan can't silence me because I’m not a doctor," he said.
"It's unconstitutional and anti-science," Kirsch continued. "Tenure was created in universities to allow people to speak out without retribution. This is a special law targeted at misinformation for Covid-19, and that's not science." Continue reading on thepostmillennial.com
One of the Coast Guard’s Aviation Survival Technicians, otherwise known as a Rescue Swimmer, was called by President Biden on Friday and congratulated for his recent actions in saving numerous individuals who were affected by Hurricane Ian in Florida. While we only have 14 seconds of their conversation, AST2 Zack Loesch spoke to the President for close to seven minutes.
President Biden called Loesch because of his actions on Thursday as he and his crew saved multiple lives in the Fort Myer, FL area along with fellow rescue swimmers and crews. Loesch is stationed at Air Station Clearwater, FL. They moved their base of operations to West Palm Beach in anticipation of Ian’s path into Clearwater.
While conducting rescue operations on two of the islands off the coast of Fort Myers, which were inaccessible except by boat or helicopter, Loesch and his crew went to work within minutes of arriving by hoisting people out of the area onto their MH-60 Jay Hawk helicopter and delivering them to the Hertz Arena parking lot in Fort Myers.
One of the houses they arrived at had an older couple whose roof was torn off. They were stuck in a back bedroom because a couch had been lifted up by the hurricane and positioned in such a way that they were unable to exit. The woman is disabled and uses a specialized wheelchair tailored to her individual needs. Because of the inaccessibility, Loesch was forced to tear through the wall to gain access to the room. He was successful in retrieving the man and woman plus their dog. Loesch even went back and attached a hoist to her wheelchair and hauled it and himself out so the woman would be able to get around once they were evacuated.

Loesch is being hailed as a hero along with the rest of his crew, and rightfully so. However, Loesch was set to sit down with his chain of command and receive his impending, involuntary discharge from the Coast Guard. Continue reading on trmlx.com
On September 14, 2022, Politico published a special report based on four dozen interviews with U.S. and European officials and global health specialists, who admit Bill Gates is running the global Covid response. https://www.bitchute.com/video/tDEYcW9Zi9xy/
Four health organizations — The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Wellcome Trust — rapidly took a lead on the global pandemic response, and while all four claim to be independent organizations, they’re all actually founded and/or funded by Gates.
During the earliest days of the outbreak, the Gates Foundation, GAVI, CEPI and the Wellcome Trust began a coordinated effort to identify vaccine makers, fund tests, drug treatments and mRNA shots, and develop a global distribution plan in collaboration with the World Health Organization. In the end, they failed to meet their own goals on all fronts.
Gates is unqualified to make health recommendations, and he’s never been elected to represent the public
Gates has used his wealth, influence and sheer shrewdness to get him into a position where he can dictate global health policy for his own financial benefit.
The idea that Bill Gates exerts undue influence over global health has consistently been denied and dismissed as a loony conspiracy theory. But as with so many other things, this conspiracy theory is now turning out to be a conspiracy fact.
September 14, 2022, Politico published an extensive special report based on “four dozen interviews with U.S. and European officials and global health specialists,” headlined, “How Bill Gates and His Partners Took Over the Global Covid Response.”
As noted by Igor Chudov on Substack,2 within hours the headline was edited to read: “How Four Private Groups Used Their Clout to Control the Global Covid Response — With Little Oversight,”3 as illustrated in Chudov’s screen captures below.
Curiously, five hours after that edit, Politico changed the headline back, so at the time of this writing, it reads:4 “How Bill Gates and Partners Used Their Clout to Control the Global Covid Response — With Little Oversight.” The only word now missing from the original headline is “his.” You can see how the headline shifted back and forth over the course of 15 hours on archive.today.5 Four Gates Organizations Monopolize the Global Covid Response According to Politico, 6 four health organizations — the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Wellcome Trust — rapidly took a lead on the global pandemic response, and while all four claim to be independent organizations, they’re all actually founded and/or funded by Gates. “When Covid-19 struck, the governments of the world weren’t prepared,” Politico writes. “While the most powerful nations looked inward, four non-governmental global health organizations began making plans for a life-or-death struggle against a virus that would know no boundaries. What followed was a steady, almost inexorable shift in power from the overwhelmed governments to a group of non-governmental organizations, according to a seven-month investigation by POLITICO journalists based in the U.S. and Europe and the German newspaper WELT.
Armed with expertise, bolstered by contacts at the highest levels of Western nations and empowered by well-grooved relationships with drug makers, the four organizations took on roles often played by governments — but without the accountability of governments.” Six Takeaways From Politico’s Investigation During the earliest days of the outbreak, while governments were still debating the seriousness of it, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI, CEPI and the Wellcome Trust began a coordinated effort to identify vaccine makers, fund tests, drug treatments and mRNA shots, and develop a global distribution plan in collaboration with the World Health Organization. In a side bar,
But now a book just published in English, “Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth,” penned by anonymous Israeli-based authors, questions the safety, efficacy, and necessity of the entire recommended childhood vaccination schedule. Over the past two and a half years, public health officials instituted economy-crashing lockdowns and extensive vaccination campaigns. These draconian measures, we were told, would keep SARS-CoV-2 from spreading and keep people from overwhelming the hospitals and dying of the virus.
Despite these promises, as early as April of 2022, the majority of American adults had already contracted the virus.
And at that point, death rates from the pandemic were higher in the United States than in any other developed nation, according to researchers from the Yale School of Public Health.
So, the CDC changed their Covid guidelines in early August 2022, removing the recommendation for quarantine after exposure and changing the recommendation to test daily to a recommendation to test only once, on the fifth day after exposure.
The new guidelines further specify that people who are vaccinated and people who are not vaccinated should follow the same protocols, likely reflecting the fact that being vaccinated doesn’t reduce your risk of contracting severe Covid.
This is virtually the opposite of what was predicted by President Joseph Biden and the White House Covid-19 Response Team last December when they claimed that unvaccinated Americans would face a “winter of severe illness, death,” whereas vaccinated Americans would be virus-free.
The result of the mismanagement of the pandemic, surging infection rates, and ongoing reports of vaccine safety issues have led more people than ever before to question current public health policies.
At the same time, many want to believe that Covid vaccines are the only injections that are cause for concern. We are sure that the recommended childhood vaccine schedule, on the other hand, is safe. Safety Science of Childhood Vaccines Analyzed Translated from Hebrew, “Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth,” explains that vaccine safety rests on three scientific pillars.
The first pillar is the pre-licensure clinical trials. The second pillar is adverse event collection and reporting, a process to catch safety signals that elude detection during the clinical trial stage. And the third is post-licensure studies. Post-licensure studies are intended to tease out whether a particular adverse event is caused by a vaccine or not.
This book argues, however, that all three pillars are defective. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
The Canadian Armed Forces aren't likely to drastically alter their vaccine mandate, despite demands from Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre. Poilievre called for the Covid-19 vaccine mandate for members of the CAF to be dropped, calling it "obviously unscientific and contradictory" to keep the mandate in place while dropping border requirements.
https://rumble.com/embed/v1j5inv/?pub=2n05b
A video of Poilievre calling for a change in the military during Question Period on September 23 went viral with thousands of retweets, saying: "Many of the men and women who want to fight to defend our freedoms aren’t even free themselves to serve their country. End all the Covid vaccine mandates, now."
As reported by Global News, the vaccine mandate for Canada's military will be the last one that remains at the federal level. The decision of whether or not the military has a vaccine mandate, however, does not fall squarely on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as the Department of National Defense says that the choice is that of Gen. Wayne Eyre at the advice of the Canadian Armed Forces surgeon general.
"This is an institutional decision made to ensure operational readiness," said a statement from Defence Department spokesman Daniel Le Bouthillier.
Eyre told the Canadian Press in August that there would be some tweaks made to the vaccine mandate, but also defended the restrictive measures. As of now, the requirements remain in place and there are no plans for changes.
Conservative Shadow Minister for Health Michael Barrett questioned the need for a vaccine mandate, given that all other provincial governments have lifted their mandates. "Every provincial government has done away with their vaccine mandate, the federal government has done away with it,” he said on Wednesday.
"So if there’s a specific operational requirement, that’s one thing. But I think that just as a condition of their employment, like anyone who works for the federal government, that that needs to be eliminated."
The Department of National Defense says that more than 98 percent of Canadian troops are vaccinated. Continue reading on thepostmillennial.com
Long Covid-19 patients who received pure oxygen treatments saw improvements to damaged brain tissues and their functional cognition compared to others in a study who received regular air, researchers in Israel say. Some Covid-19 patients suffer from “brain fog,” and research links the disease to tissue damage and brain shrinkage. The hyperbaric oxygen experiment was designed to see whether it could be effective for Covid-related brain issues.
Shai Efrati, a researcher at the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine in Tel Aviv, started clinical trials in December 2020, according to Leaps.org.
Covid-19 patients with cognitive issues received 40 sessions of therapy in a special hyperbaric chamber over a period of 60 days. In each session, they spent 90 minutes breathing through a mask. One group received pure oxygen; the control group received normal air, which has less oxygen.
Results published by Scientific Reports revealed substantial improvements in damaged brain tissue and functional cognition for the participants who breathed the pure oxygen. Most also said they felt back to “normal.”
Up to 12 patients and medical staff can fit inside the hyperbaric chamber. Leaps says it resembles a pressurized airplane cabin, “only with much more space than even in first class.”
Efrati said the environment is a “medical class center.”
Alexander Charney, MD, a research psychiatrist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, told Leaps that the study could be difficult to replicate in large scale. But he said it was interesting enough to warrant further study.
John J. Miller, MD, editor in chief of Psychiatric Times, said the research “has great potential to help patients with long Covid whose symptoms are related to brain tissue changes.” Continue reading on www.webmd.com
As a bill aimed at combatting Covid misinformation heads to Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk, thousands of Californians are contacting his office, imploring him to veto the bill on the grounds that it will chill free speech and violate the privacy of citizens. A California legislative lobbying organization, A Voice for Choice Advocacy (AVFCA), has initiated a “Governor Postcard Campaign” to convince Newsom to veto AB 2098, among other bills.
Assembly Bill 2098, introduced by Assembly Member Evan Low (D-28th District), would grant the Medical Board of California the ability to revoke the medical licenses of doctors who spread Covid-19 disinformation or misinformation.
The legislation passed the State Assembly in May and the California State Senate on August 29. All it needs is the governor’s signature to become law.
In an AVFCA press release, the organization’s founder, Christina Hildebrand, called the bill “duplicative and unnecessary.”
Hildebrand further said, “AB 2098 defines ‘misinformation’ as ‘false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care.’ With the ever mutating variants, changing vaccine efficacy and influx or treatments, how can there be ‘contemporary scientific consensus’ or ‘standard of care’ for Covid?” Hildebrand predicts that “Physicians and surgeons are going to be stifled in their practice, and innovation and medical advancements will be all but dead when it comes to Covid-19 science in California.” “Does California really want to lose more doctors to other states where they can practice without the threat of a witch hunt?” asks Hildebrand.
“Our organization put together this postcard campaign to make the governor aware of how many of his constituents feel strongly about the government’s overreach in these areas,” the press release concludes.
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) has an email template on its website for Californians to express their concerns about the passage of AB 2098. According to the AAPS website, “Physicians must not be coerced into blindly following the establishment ‘consensus’ and refraining from entering into debate that is crucial to advancing both science and rational public health policies.” “Such a policy would be harmful to the welfare of California patients, the integrity of the medical profession, and the wellbeing of the entire state,” writes the AAPS.
On its website, the California Health Coalition Advocacy group states that as “the understanding of the data and science related to Covid-19 continues to change as more studies are done,” and “standards of care are being updated as new information and treatments emerge,” these attempts at “determining ‘contemporary scientific consensus’ will be fleeting.”
Additionally, the Coalition fears that a potential “unintended consequence might be that the healthcare provider shortage would be exacerbated by the proposed law.”
In other words, they fear that if California passes such legislation that makes the medical field increasingly hostile to dissenting doctors, then less doctors will seek out California as a state to practice medicine in. Continue reading on www.cnsnews.com
Big Pharma is continually pushing these vaccinations onto every member of the global population. Yet, the data coming out (eventually) cannot be ignored. UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) claims that “the offer of Covid jabs to healthy five to 11-year-olds was always meant to be temporary.”
How can a gene-modifying mRNA vaccine be temporary?
This “safe and effective” vaccine has ruined lives. The CDC reported 54,697 adverse side effects in children ranging from 6 months to 17 years of age, including “death, life-threatening illness, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, permanent disability, congenital anomaly or birth defect.” This is only what has been reported as the long-term consequences are now coming to light.
Dr. Robert Malone, who has been shunned from social media, has long warned of these “adverse side effects.” Dr. Malone noted more children had been harmed from the Covid vaccination than from Covid itself. "The UK, Sweden, Poland, and many other nations have it right. They stopped vaccinating babies and children. Parents have it right. The vast majority aren’t vaccinating babies and children,” Malone stated. “It is time that the US government to face facts. It is time to stop vaccinating babies and children.” Sadly, this data is not new. Countries are QUIETLY eliminating childhood vaccinations, and pharmaceutical companies remain immune to any liability for the damage they have caused and the lives they have ruined.
Yet, here in America, some schools are still demanding children receive the jab to attend class. It is time that we protect our children from this mass experiment. Continue reading on www.armstrongeconomics.com
Three hospitals in California face lawsuits alleging they treated patients with the controversial antiviral drug Remdesivir without receiving informed consent, using a protocol which two attorneys allege led to wrongful death. Daniel Watkins with Watkins & Letofsky and Michael Hamilton with Hamilton & Associates filed three complaints—one against Saint Agnes Medical Center, Community Regional Medical Center, and Clovis Community Medical Center—in the Superior Court of California in Fresno County on Sept. 7.
Clovis Medical Center Community Medical Center, Community Regional Medical Center, and Saint Agnes Medical Center told The Epoch Times that they couldn’t comment on pending litigation.
Watkins and Hamilton discussed the lawsuit the day of the filing at an event called, “Remdesivir Death: Landmark Lawsuit,” where they were joined by medical advocates such as Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Bryan Ardis, Dr. Angie Farella, and Dr. Janci Linsay, all of whom have spoken out against the use of remdesivir.
Watkins said they filed the lawsuits on the behalf of 14 Fresno-area families who allege that the hospitals engaged in medical deception and failed to provide informed consent in relating the potential side effects, such as kidney failure. “Full informed consent means that patients must be provided with full information about the deadly harm that this dangerous experimental drug causes on its own,” the lawsuit states. “They must be told that the only time it was ever tested, it was pulled because it killed so many people.” The lawsuit references a study found in the New England Journal of Medicine in which a safety board found it to be the least effective and deadliest drug in the trial before it was suspended after 53 percent of the Ebola patients who took the drug died.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) has said it’s the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat Covid-19.
“Remdesivir received Emergency Use Authorization in or around May of 2020, after being recommended by an NIH panel that contained nine individuals with financial ties to its creator, Gilead Sciences,” the lawsuit alleges. “It is very nearly the equivalent of a death sentence for a Covid patient, or a patient with real Pneumonia (as opposed to ‘Covid pneumonia’).
Without receiving informed consent before giving Remdesivir, the hospitals violated the Nuremberg Code, the lawsuit states, which criminalizes human experimentation performed without informed consent.
In some cases, according to witness testimony, Watkins said in the conference that remdesivir was given even after the patients declined. The Remdesivir Protocol The lawsuit alleges that the patients were subjected to what it called “The Remdesivir Protocol,” which varies in each hospital.
“A patient comes to the hospital often for a problem unrelated to Covid-19,” the lawsuit says. “They are told they have Covid-19 or ‘Covid pneumonia.’”
From there, they are separated from loved ones and placed in a room where they are told remdesivir is the only option, the lawsuit says.
“They are placed on a BiPap machine at a high rate, making it difficult for them to breathe,” the lawsuit says. “Their hands are often tied down so they can’t take the BiPap machine off their face.”
In many cases, the lawsuit says a psychiatrist will determine the patient agitated, which results in the sedation of the patient, making it difficult for them to fight the side effects of remdesivir “especially as it relates to their ability to breathe against the side effects and against the BiPap machine.”
“Their phone and the signaling instrument for the nurse are typically placed beyond their reach,” the lawsuit alleges.
The patients are also kept malnourished, and eventually intubated, the lawsuit states, where the patient then dies. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
The director of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) said that about 90 percent of Covid-19-positive patients in DHS hospitals weren’t hospitalized for the virus. During a Los Angeles Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday, Kathryn Ann Barger-Leibrich, serving as a Republican member of the board, asked: “What percentage were admitted for Covid, and what percentage were admitted and then tested positive for Covid?”
“For the four DHS hospitals where we do the manual chart reviews … 10 percent are admitted to the hospital for Covid, and 90 percent are there for incidental findings,” Dr. Christina Ghaly, the DHS director, said in response to the question from Barger-Leibrich. “But they’re primarily there for another reason,” she remarked. Ghaly was presenting data on the number of inpatients at the four DHS hospitals over the past 180 days ending in mid-September 2022. It showed there was an overall decline in the total number of inpatients with a positive Covid-19 test, noting that PCR tests appear to have given false positives for months.
“We do test everyone on admission to the hospital for Covid. We used a PCR test, and because of that, there’s a lagging positivity given that the PCR test often remains positive for a couple of months. And it will take time for the trendline to decline to the point where it again mirrors the general population,” she said. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
The medical journal The Lancet released a report recently outlining the possibility that the Covid-19 pandemic may have originated with a pathogen leaked from a lab in the US, prompting criticism, with one virologist calling it “one of The Lancet’s most shameful moments”. The Commission report measured 58 pages and included the suggestion that it’s “feasible” that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that leads to Covid-19, could have come from a natural spillover incident or a lab leak, The Daily Beast reported.
Natural spillover is when a virus jumps from animals to humans.
The report mentions laboratories in Wuhan, China, where the virus was initially reported to have jumped from animals to humans at a wet market. But the report also states that “independent researchers have not yet investigated” US labs and that the National Institutes of Health has “resisted disclosing details” of its work on viruses related to SARS-CoV. Commission chairman and Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs said earlier this year at a conference in Madrid that he was “pretty convinced” the virus “came out of a US lab of biotechnology, not out of nature,” according to The Telegraph.
In July, he told Politico that he thought the virus “quite likely emerged from a US-backed laboratory research program”. According to the outlet, Mr Sachs is “a long-time advocate of dismantling American hegemony and embracing the rise of China”.
He serves as a special adviser to the foreign policy boss of the European Union, Josep Borrell, and has been sharing ideas that the bloc thinks of as Chinese disinformation, Politico reported at the time.
“A natural spillover is also possible, of course. Both hypotheses are viable at this stage,” he told the outlet.
In August, Mr Sachs came under fire after he compared vaccine mandates to the Holocaust on a podcast hosted by anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy Jr, the son of the former attorney general and New York Senator of the same name.
Mr Kennedy Jr appeared on the podcast not long after Meta banned some of the accounts he managed from Facebook and Instagram after they spread misinformation about Covid-19, The Daily Beast noted.
A virologist at the Canadian Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization, Angela Rasmussen, told The Telegraph that “Sachs’ appearance on RFK Jr’s podcast … undermines the seriousness of The Lancet Commission’s mission to the point of completely negating it”.
“This may be one of The Lancet’s most shameful moments regarding its role as a steward and leader in communicating crucial findings about science and medicine,” she added.
She said she was “pretty shocked at how flagrantly” the report had turned a blind eye to evidence of how Covid-19 came to be.
The University of Glasgow’s Centre for Virus Research Professor David Robertson told The Telegraph that “it’s really disappointing to see such a potentially influential report contributing to further misinformation on such an important topic”.
“It’s true we’ve details to understand on the side of natural origins, for example, the exact intermediate species involved, but that doesn’t mean there’s … any basis to the wild speculation that US labs were involved,” he said.
Mr Sachs told The Telegraph that he stands by his earlier statements. He said he personally “oversaw this part of the work” on how SARS-CoV-2 originated.
He broke up the first task force in the summer of 2021 as worries grew that the group was biased in favour of the idea that the virus had come from the natural world.
While the task force never regrouped, Mr Sachs told The Telegraph that commissioners had “consulted widely and met with a number of scientists”.
“Everybody has signed off on the final text. The question of a possible laboratory release mostly involves the question of US-China joint work that was underway on Sars-like viruses,” he told the paper.
Lancet Commission member and the dean of the National School of Tro...
Political leaders rarely know enough about complex biomedical topics to make judgments. Instead they rely on experts they trust. Trusted experts are not the best scientists. They are the most loyal ones. The ones who routinely cheerlead the administration in civilian life and the ones active politically and drawn into public health advisory roles.
The current cast of characters-- Jha, Walensky, Fauci, Murthy and others- were chosen for these reasons, and are simply not good at thinking about medical evidence and policy. They must be replaced if the administration wants to turn around Covid. And let me be honest - I am giving this feedback as a Democrat, who hopes Dems do better at covid policy and holding the Pharmaceutical industry to task.
Vinay Prasad's Observations and Thoughts is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Let's start with what they don't get: they fundamentally do not understand that boosters have different risk benefit profiles based on age/ sex/ and prior infection of Covid-19. This has relevance both for the new bivalent booster and for kids primary vaccination.
When it comes to boosters, a 95 year old nursing home patient who never had Covid is different than a 25 year old college man who just had BA5.
When it comes to kids vax, a healthy 6 year old kid who just had covid is different than an overweight 11 year old with diabetes who never had Covid.
Is it so hard to admit that data for boosting someone who just had the virus is non-existent? And it's even worse for a healthy kid who had covid19.
Why are these advisors so hellbent on vaccinating people who we simply do not know if their is net benefit? Any why provide misleading rhetoric to achieve that pyrrhic aim?
Are they also unaware that no matter how high booster rates go, the virus will continue to circulate forever? Dampening transmission ever so slightly for a few weeks is pointless in an ocean of replications that will last thousands of years.
Scientists around the world can see the obvious. The US advisors are incorrect.
On a number of issues the current cast of characters is entirely aloof to EBM and sensible policy.
They don't seem to understand masking toddlers has no data and is actually pretty stupid and probably harmful and unethical and will age poorly They don't seem to understand that telling a quadruple vaccinated adult to wear n95 is a deranged policy that might at best modestly delay the inevitable moment they get Covid, at the cost of pointless disruption. They don't seem to get that evidence for long Covid is extremely poor. If you are very sick then convalescence can be long, but the idea you will have a mild infection and then your brain will shrink is prima facie highly incredible and unlikely and thus evidence must be extraordinary, which it is not. The current cast do not understand the need for randomized trials measuring clinical endpoints. Not surrogates The current cast are so committed to giving Pfizer a huge market share - I mean simplifying the message - that they appear indifferent to the fact that there may be some actual human being - most likely young men - who may even have a net negative effect by participating in an endless booster program. This would be a catastrophic error, which they refuse to acknowledge.
There are plenty of democrat medical doctors who would not make these errors. These errors are not necessary or integral to the democratic party platform. They are just foolish policy choices. The only reason they persist is that the political figures that sanction these choices are getting bad advice.
I can only speculate as to why the advice is so bad, but these likely include: groupthink, a desire to play nice with Pfizer and Moderna, whom many of these people will consult for very soon, and the tragic fact that none of these figures have made a career on the princip...
Dissident journalist Alex Berenson has gone viral for arguing that the rush by governments across the world to disseminate the Covid vaccine will one day “be viewed as among the greatest medical, scientific, and ethical failures of all time.” He expressed this perspective in a set of tweets posted below.
Are his claims valid, though?
The first one is that the Covid vaccine was “intentionally designed to FOOL our immune systems in order so it could deliver a payload of unnaturally modified mRNA into our cells and hijack their protein-building machinery.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Covid vaccines do involve mRNA being injected into people’s bloodstream and affecting their “protein-building machinery,” as Berenson calls it.
“After vaccination, the mRNA will enter the muscle cells. Once inside, they use the cells’ machinery to produce a harmless piece of what is called the spike protein. The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes Covid-19. After the protein piece is made, our cells break down the mRNA and remove it, leaving the body as waste,” the CDC notes.
“Next, our cells display the spike protein piece on their surface. Our immune system recognizes that the protein does not belong there. This triggers our immune system to produce antibodies and activate other immune cells to fight off what it thinks is an infection. This is what your body might do if you got sick with Covid-19. At the end of the process, our bodies have learned how to help protect against future infection with the virus that causes Covid-19.”
Notice how the CDC describes the spike protein as “harmless.” Berenson staunchly disagrees with this characterization.
Critics like Berenson believe the spike protein is responsible for the wide number of vaccine injuries that have been reported. But government authorities say otherwise.
His second claim is that Covid vaccine testing found that it does successfully “hijack” people’s immune system, but that it does so without any “overall positive impact on health.”
Government authorities say this is false and that the vaccine does reduce death by a significant margin.
The problem is government authorities likewise used to claim that the Covid vaccine and its boosters reduce the transmissibility of the vaccine.
But during a CNN interview in January, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky was forced to finally admit that no, this isn’t the case.
“Our vaccines are working exceptionally well. They continue to work well for Delta with regard to sever illness and death. They prevent it. … What they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission. So if you’re going home to somebody who has not been vaccinated, somebody who can’t get vaccinated … I would suggest you wear a mask in a public indoor setting,” she said.
Listen:
Lastly, Berenson bemoaned the world’s governments distributing the vaccine to over a billion people, despite Covid having “posed only a minor risk to most of them.”
This claim is also in dispute. On one hand, only a small percentage of the world’s population died. But on the other hand, this small percentage still represented 6.5 million people and counting, roughly a million of which came from the U.S.
However, critics like Berenson say these numbers are comparable to the number of people who die globally and in the U.S. from other diseases and conditions.
Critics also allege that the total U.S. death rate hasn’t been that much noticeably higher in 2020 and 2021 than in previous years.
But again, government authorities disagree … Continue reading on www.bizpacreview.com
A new analysis of U.S. government data has revealed that 648 nursing babies were harmed by Covid-19 shots, including three infants who died. The report analyses data from the databases of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It shows that the U.S. government has recorded 648 cases of side effects in breastfed infants whose mothers received the Covid-19 vaccine.
Despite the data, health authorities in the United States and several nations around the world recommended the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for pregnant and lactating women.
The recommendations also come despite the lack of clinical studies or animal safety studies for that demographic.
The side effects were recorded in the federal government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS).
The FDA requires healthcare professionals to report to VAERS certain adverse events that occur after Covid-19 vaccination.
The most common serious events found in VAERS data were life-threatening bleeding, anticholinergic syndrome, liver problems, anaphylactic shock, neuroleptic syndrome, neurological side effects such as convulsions or encephalitis, and hypoglycemia.
The analysis of the database was conducted by a team led by Israeli journalist Ranit Feinberg of Israel’s Real Time magazine.
In most of the reported cases, several life-threatening side effects were recorded in the same baby, according to WND. In one case, a mother reported losing her 5-month-old infant 13 days after receiving the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine on January 28, 2021, and breastfeeding him. “I pumped within an hour of receiving the shot,” she said.
“My 5-month-old son nursed the night following the shot and later ate the pumped milk that I acquired the same day of the shot.
“11 days later he was found unresponsive during his nap at daycare.”
After being rushed to the hospital, the mother said, “doctors were able to get his heart beating again with excessive effort.”
“Organ damage was extensive and he had no brain function; he did not recover.”
In another report, dated March 17, 2021, a 5-month-old died just one day after his mother was vaccinated.
“Patient brought baby to local ER where assessments were performed, blood analysis revealed elevated liver enzymes,” the reports states.
“Infant was hospitalized but continued to decline and passed away.
“Diagnosis of TTP. No known allergies.
“No new exposures aside from the mother’s vaccination the previous day.”
TTP stands for Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, a rare, life-threatening blood disorder in which blood clots form in small blood vessels throughout the body, which can curb or block the flow of blood to organs.
Naomi Wolf, who has led a team of researchers combing through Pfizer vaccine clinical trial data released through a lawsuit, discussed the findings of the Israeli analysis of VAERS data in an interview Wednesday with Steve Bannon in “War Room.”
Wolf noted the Journal of the American Medical Association recently published a letter – which has since been put behind a paywall – warning of mRNA in the breastmilk of mothers who have been vaccinated and advising that they wait two days after vaccination before nursing.
But it’s been known for more than a year, Wolf said, citing findings from her team, that mRNA, lipid nanoparticles, and polyethylene glycol in the breastmilk of vaccinated mothers.
“These are criminal people,” she said of public health and pharmaceutical officials.
They are “concealing the truth from women,” she warned. Continue reading on slaynews.com
Former health ministers Sajid Javid and Jeremy Hunt have both ignored doctors’ pleas to help halt the Covid-19 vaccination program. NHS cardiologist and public health campaigner Dr Aseem Malhotra, a one-time vaccine advocate who has changed his stance in view of the evidence, has told them that 1 in 800 Covid vaccine recipients suffers a serious adverse reaction, while official figures show that 1 in 116 experience reactions serious enough to report to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s (MHRA) Yellow Card Scheme.
Dr Malhotra spoke to Hunt directly, while a senior member of the British Medical Association, the doctors’ trade union, spoke to Javid. Neither has acted or contacted Dr Malhotra to ask him to present his evidence of harms.
The MHRA has consistently failed to take reports seriously despite receiving 2,240 notifications of fatalities and 29,080 reports of acute cardiac events, Dr Malhotra’s area of expertise.
When sent a freedom of information request early in the vaccination campaign asking for the release of Pfizer’s raw safety data, the drugs monitor responded that it was not in the public interest to release it.
Recent re-analysis of the Pfizer and Moderna trial data suggests the risk of suffering serious adverse effects of mRNA vaccines is significantly higher than the risk of being hospitalized with Covid-19. It also showed a rise in cardiac arrests and heart attacks linked to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Pfizer’s phase three clinical trials recorded four cardiac arrests in the non-placebo group and one in the placebo group. A significant rise in cardiac arrest calls to ambulances in England was seen in 2021 (an extra 14,000 compared with 2020). Similar data emerged from Israel in the 16-to-39-year-old age group where there was a 25 per cent increase in heart attacks or cardiac arrests associated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine administration, but not associated with Covid-19. Dr Malhotra has also stated publicly that the vaccination is a likely contributor to his father’s sudden death from heart failure. Dr Kailash Chand was a fit 73-year-old able to beat his son at badminton. Dr Malhotra said: ‘The last time I played him he had me running about the court so much I ruptured my Achilles tendon. He had no sign of a heart condition.’ In his continuing efforts to raise the alarm, Dr Malhotra has written a two-part, peer-reviewed paper. Entitled: ‘Curing the pandemic of misinformation on Covid-19 mRNA vaccines through real evidence-based medicine’, it was published this week in the Journal of Insulin Resistance and presented to the press on Tuesday. He tweeted his findings and the paper has received over 3million views.
Although he is followed on Twitter by many MPs, mainstream media journalists and other influencers, none has contacted him to ask for more information. His paper has also been snubbed by mainstream media. A correspondent from the Times was at the press conference and interviewed Dr Malhotra afterwards but the paper has yet to publish a report.
Dr Malhotra said: ‘There’s been an emotional reaction, but no other doctors have come at me with arguments against the data I’ve used in my paper. The data that I’ve used makes a very clear case that the vaccine is causing significant harm in at least 1 in 800. It’s probably much more than that. That in itself is unprecedented. I don’t know how they’re going to wriggle out of it. ‘The MHRA are in denial, and they’re funded by the industry they’re supposed to regulate. So what do we expect? ‘Traditionally, mainstream media coverage has exposed wrongdoing. I was working with a mainstream media journalist for a couple of months before my paper was published. He came back to me at the last-minute saying, “I can’t do the story,” because he’d got comments from the British Heart Foundation and the British Immunological Society which contradicted my paper.
‘Doctors don’t even know about the mRNA technology being us...
A 60-year-old woman suffered 'debilitating' lesions on her tongue after receiving Pfizer's Covid vaccine – with each shot making her symptoms worse. Her side effects, which also included a dry mouth and inflammation, were so painful she was left unable to eat. Doctors struggled to find the culprit for nine months, during which she lost 17 pounds (8kg). By the time she was finally diagnosed, her swollen tongue had began to split open leaving deep, agonizing sores.
She was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome, a condition that sees the immune system go haywire and damage healthy parts of the body.
Her symptoms were finally cured with a six-week course of topical steroids.
Doctors chronicled the rare side effect in a report published last month in the American Journal of Case Reports.
The unidentified patient, from Australia, received three vaccine doses in total – two of which formed the initial course, as well as a single booster.
Similar symptoms were also documented in patients infected with coronavirus, which led to the condition being dubbed 'Covid tongue'.
The woman experienced swelling of the tongue and extreme discomfort caused by lesions. She could barely eat, and lost 17 pounds as a result
Oral sores are not a new phenomenon after a vaccine and have been spotted in people following flu, hepatitis B and papillomavirus jabs. What is Sjögren's syndrome, and how could a Covid vaccine trigger it? Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune condition that causes the body's immune system to attack healthy cells that produce saliva and tears.
People of any age can develop Sjogren's syndrome, but it is most often diagnosed in women over 40.
The causes of Sjogren's syndrome are unknown but research suggests some people are genetically more inclined to get it. Symptoms include dry mouth and eyes, fatigue, and joint pain.
The unnamed patient developed sores in her mouth about three days after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Her symptoms had partially abated before she received the second dose, after which the symptoms returned still more severely.
She underwent a cadre of blood tests to rule out other diagnoses such as HPV and other infections.
She was referred to an outpatient rheumatology clinic with suspected Sjogren syndrome, an autoimmune disease which causes the immune system to attack glands that produce moisture in the eyes, mouth, and other parts of the body.
Doctors first prescribed a topical version of clonazepam, a benzodiazepine that when ingested orally, can treat burning mouth syndrome.
When that did little to alleviate her symptoms, doctors prescribed an oral steroid which caused symptoms to improve 60 per cent, but treatment stopped because it was causing the woman abdominal pain.
Doctors finally settled on a lower dose topical iteration of the steroids dissolved in water and taken consistently for about six weeks until symptoms abated.
The condition was not easily diagnosed and doctors were puzzled at first. While oral symptoms can be associated with the Pfizer vaccine, they are uncommon and likely under recognized by providers who do not specialize in oral healthcare.
Writing in the journal, the doctors said: 'A subsequent review of the timeline of history and medications, including vaccinations, identified a clear relationship between the exacerbation of oral symptoms after each [Pfizer-BioNTech] vaccination.'
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) database for Covid vaccine side effects does not include oral symptoms.
A major caveat is that reporting the adverse effects is voluntary and therefore cases may be underreported. 'This case demonstrates that oral symptoms can be associated with BNT162b2 vaccination, which is likely under-recognized by practitioners outside the field of oral health,' the doctors said in the case study. They advised the medical community to be on the lookout for similarly unusual effects ...
Remember when virtually every parent with common sense was called a domestic extremist because they opposed insane Covid restrictions in schools? This one mom voiced her opinion to her local school board, and they literally reported her to the feds. Now, the mom is fighting back.
From the Mackinac Public Policy Center in Michigan:
A Michigan mom is suing the Chippewa Valley School Board for violating her First Amendment rights. Sandra Hernden, with the help of the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation, is taking legal action after facing retaliation from members of the school board. Hernden spoke out against the district's Covid-19 policies, and district officials responded by reporting her to her employer and then to the Department of Justice.
Hernden is a police officer and mom of three boys. When the Chippewa Valley School District turned to remote instruction in spring 2020 in response to Covid-19, Hernden witnessed the toll it took on her children, particularly her son with special needs. Without the in-person assistance and individualized attention that he once had, his grades plummeted. He suffered socially, too. When the board decided the schools would stay virtual in fall 2020, she knew she had to fight for her son. "For two years, I have been demoralized, humiliated, discredited and demeaned," said Sandra Hernden. "I can live with a lot of things and be called a lot of names, but none of this will stop me from fighting for my children. I'm bringing this case not just for my family, but for all the families like me who feel they have no voice." This woman – who is a police officer and special needs mom – was persecuted because she disagreed with the school board's insane policies.
Could you imagine telling Americans 10 years ago that they'd be reported and investigated by the FBI for free speech at school boards?
And for voicing anger at policies that are hurting their children, no less??
Like many other parents, Hernden disagreed with the district's Covid-19 policies and spoke out at school board meetings. At one point, she accused the board of making politically motivated decisions that were not in the best interest of the students. In response, one board member wrote to Hernden's then-supervisor at the Harper Woods Police Department. The member accused her of "veiled racism" and of behavior that was unbecoming of a police officer. Hernden was then subjected to an internal investigation, but her employer determined she had not violated any department rules.
The problems continued after the school board began restricting Hernden's speech by interrupting her at meetings and prohibiting her from sharing her opinion. In response, she cautioned the board that their actions may be illegal.
This was a persistent Mama Bear that the school board did not want to deal with.
They tried to shut her up and curtail her right to speak in a public meeting.
These cowardly school boards are the absolute worst.
Things quickly escalated after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum about investigating parents who attend school board meetings. One day after the memorandum was issued, the president of the Chippewa Valley School Board admitted reporting Hernden to the Department of Justice. "No parent should have to fear for their livelihood or their liberty because they stood up for their children," Steve Delie, attorney with the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation. "We hope that this case empowers parents to have the courage to speak out for what they believe is best for their children." At the direction of one of the nation's largest teachers' unions, the Joe Biden DOJ under led by Merrick Garland began persecuting parents who wanted schools opened. The Chippewa Valley School Board saw this and decided to report their troublemaker parent to the feds to intimidate her and ruin her life.
So many of these school boards have proved that they are the lowest scum and consider nothing but t...
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is refusing to release the results of autopsies conducted on people who died after getting Covid-19 vaccines. The FDA says it is barred from releasing medical files, but a drug safety advocate says that it could release the autopsies with personal information redacted.
The refusal was issued to The Epoch Times, which submitted a Freedom of Information Act for all autopsy reported obtained by the FDA concerning any deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following Covid-19 vaccination.
Reports are lodged with the system when a person experiences an adverse event, or a health issue, after receiving a vaccine.
The FDA and other agencies are tasked with investigating the reports. Authorities request and review medical records to vet the reports, including autopsies.
The FDA declined to release any reports, even redacted copies.
The FDA cited federal law, which enables agencies to withhold information if the agency “reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by an exemption,” with the exemption being “personnel and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
Federal regulations also bar the release of “personnel, medical and similar files the disclosure of which constitutes a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
The Epoch Times has appealed the denial, in addition to the recent denial of results of data analysis of VAERS reports. ‘Easily be redacted’ Kim Witczak, a drug safety advocate who advises the FDA as part of the Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee, said that the reports could be released with personal information blacked out.
“The personal information could easily be redacted without losing the potential learnings from [the] autopsy,” Witczak told The Epoch Times via email.
People make the choice to submit autopsy results to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, Witczak noted.
“If someone submits their experience to VAERS they want and expect to have it investigated by the FDA. This includes autopsy reports,” she said.
Autopsies are examinations of deceased persons performed to determine the cause of death.
“Autopsies can be an important part of postmortem analysis and should be done especially with increased deaths following Covid-19 vaccination,” Witczak said. Continue reading on childrenshealthdefense.org
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving vaccine mandates in New York City, opening the door to a potentially monumental decision regarding authority wielded by state and local governments. The case involves an NYPD detective, Anthony Marciano, who has filed suit against the Big Apple over its Covid-19 vaccine mandate.
Last month, left-leaning Justice Sonia Sotomayor turned down a request by Marciano to further examine his legal challenge. However, he resubmitted the very same request to right-leaning Justice Clarence Thomas, and, according to the SCOTUS press office on Tuesday, the high court has taken the case and it is scheduled for deliberation at an Oct. 7 conference, Politico reported.
An attorney for the detective told the outlet that his client decided to approach Thomas because of his past stances on issues.
“I reapplied to Justice Thomas, who is a strict Constitutionalist,” Patricia Finn of the group Make Americans Free Again said in an interview. “I believed his previous opinions were in line with what I was arguing.”
The outlet noted: Marciano sued the city last year challenging a policy requiring municipal workers be inoculated against Covid-19. He did not qualify for religious or medical exemptions, but instead argued he’d acquired immunity through his front-line service and should be free to make his own decision about getting the jab. His case began in state court and was quickly kicked up to the federal level. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied his request for a stay of the vaccine mandate while his case plays out, so he asked the Supreme Court to grant him that injunction or strike down the city’s policy altogether.
News that the nation’s highest court agreed to hear Marciano’s case came as NYC Mayor Eric Adams ended the vaccine mandate for the private sector and students taking part in after-school activities while keeping it in place for city workers and staff.
Finn, the attorney, noted that the Supreme Court’s decision may grant the injunction or simply decide the case on its own merits. “It is a legal question, and facts are not in dispute,” she told Politico. “I think the court has been waiting for a case like mine. I think they are waiting for somebody to approach the issue in a very clean and straightforward way.” Politico noted that spontaneous rulings are very rare and most injunction requests are denied.
Still, Finn said that it is a simple case: State and federal statutes bar vaccine mandates without first getting informed consent from the individual. Since Marciano did not provide his consent, according to his lawsuit, he is being denied his due process rights.
So far, however, challenges to New York City’s mandate for its workers in state and federal courts have not succeeded. Those courts have backed the city’s broad authority to order the mandates.
“The Supreme Court has rejected numerous attempts to have it take up lawsuits on the vaccine mandate and a number of other courts have upheld the mandate, recognizing that it saves lives and is a condition of employment,” Adams spokesperson Fabien Levy said in a statement.
On Monday, following reports that Adams was going to lift the private sector mandate, a union umbrella organization sent a letter to First Deputy Mayor Lorraine Grillo and Office of Labor Relations Commissioner Renee Campion blasting the decision to leave the mandate intact for public sector workers.
“This city’s government has treated its dedicated public employees — people who prior to the availability of vaccines still got up in the morning to protect our streets, put out fires, pick up garbage, teach our children, and deliver vital social services, at risk to their own health — as disposable,” Harry Nespoli, a co-chair of the Municipal Labor Committee, which also consists of the city’s biggest public-sector unions, noted in the letter.
Greg Floyd, head of Teamsters Local 237,
Now 20 US states have legalized the practice of liquefying dead people, dumping their flesh goo down the sewage drains, harvesting the sewage as “biosludge” and spreading it on food crops as a form of fertilizer. (See absolute proof of this in the state government links below.) Welcome to 2021 in America, where the dead are liquefied and fed to the living, almost like a scene ripped right out of The Matrix.
As LifeSiteNews now confirms, Wisconsin is the latest US state to legalize this practice, which is deceptively named “water cremation.” But it uses lye as the chemical ingredient that eats away human flesh, turning it into a slimy goo that’s washed off the bones using city water. This resulting “flesh goo” — often the remains of vaccine-murdered citizens — is flushed into the city sewer system and combined with raw human feces, light industrial waste, feminine hygiene products that are flushed down toilets, and other biohazard waste, then transformed into “biosludge” which is loaded onto trucks and dumped on food farms.
I created an entire feature film documenting this process, including the interview of a former top EPA scientist who tried to blow the whistle on this practice but was threatened and professionally destroyed by the EPA. That film is available to watch (for free) at Biosludged.com.
That scientist, David Lewis, even wrote a book documenting all this called, “Science For Sale.” For attempting to blow the whistle on the EPA-approved practice of mass pollution of US crop soils with biosludge, David Lewis was threatened by government goons and stripped of all funding for his environmental research on toxic substances in soils. If you thought the “science” behind the plandemic was insane, take a peek at the criminally insane “science” the EPA uses to justify the mass pollution of America’s soils. Just in time to dispose of all the bodies that will be generated by the Covid vaccine death wave Now, states like Wisconsin are adding liquefied human “flesh goo” remains to the biosludge cocktail, actually dumping human DNA and vaccine-originating RNA fragments onto food crops, apparently oblivious to the trans-genetic process of “transfection” that may wreak havoc on the sustainability of future food crops and soil microbiomes.
The timing of all this seems especially convenient, given that the vaccine death wave from Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) may only be another 5-6 months away. It begs the question: What will cities and states do with all the dead bodies as the spike protein bioweapon achieves the depopulation goals of Fauci and Gates?
Answer: Flush them down the sewers and spread them on food crops as “fertilizer.” This puts dead humans into the food supply as an indirect form of cannibalism. Soon, if you eat non-organic product, you will be eating crops that are literally grown in human flesh goo.
This is not science fiction and it isn’t a conspiracy. You can read it right here in Wisconsin Senate Bill SB228: The use of alkaline hydrolysis to cremate human remains and providing an exemption from emergency rule procedures.
Introduced by Senators TESTIN, L. TAYLOR, CARPENTER, KOOYENGA and RINGHAND, cosponsored by Representatives NOVAK, SWEARINGEN, ARMSTRONG, BOWEN, CALLAHAN, KITCHENS, KRUG, MOSES, L. MYERS, J. RODRIGUEZ, ROZAR, SKOWRONSKI and STUBBS. Referred to Committee on Health.
This is why “fact checkers” won’t touch this topic, because the facts are crystal clear. They don’t want to admit that Covid vaccine-murdered human beings are being liquefied and spread on food crops all across America (in 20 states and counting).
It’s one more reason to eat organic, of course, since organic crops disallow the use of biosludge as fertilizer. Then again, we now have organic proponents signing up to be injected with the deadly covid vaccine, which means they may soon become an input for the food supply itself.

A recent study of more than 6 million people 65 and older found that seniors who had Covid-19 had a substantially higher risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease within a year. The study does not show that Covid-19 causes Alzheimer's, but it adds to the growing body of research drawing links between coronavirus infection and cognitive function.
"In the Alzheimer's disease brain, the pathology starts to build up about 20 years before the symptoms begin," said Dr. David Holtzman, a neurologist who leads a research lab focused on Alzheimer's disease at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. People would have to be followed for decades after a Covid-19 infection to prove it as a cause, he said.
Instead, a Covid-19 infection could cause inflammation that may exacerbate changes that are already happening in the brain, experts say. "The brain has its own immune response to the pathology that's involved in [Alzheimer's] disease progressing," said Holtzman, who was not part of the new study. "When there are other things that cause inflammation that are in the body that can affect the brain, likely what happens is that can even amplify the process that's already going on." Other viruses can cause similar inflammation, experts say.
Covid "is another one of the many dozen potential risk factors that I talked about with my patients," said Dr. Richard Isaacson, a neurologist and director of Florida Atlantic University's Center for Brain Health. He also was not involved in the new study but is a researcher focused on risk prevention for Alzheimer's disease.
The latest study, published last week in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, found that there were about seven new diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease for every 1,000 seniors who had a documented case of Covid-19 in the past year, compared with about five new diagnoses for every 1,000 who did not.
Heather Snyder, vice president of medical and scientific relations at the Alzheimer's Association, notes that broader implications of the pandemic could have played into the study's findings.
"The pandemic presented serious delays for individuals seeking out medical diagnoses like Alzheimer's, meaning these results could be driven by those who already had Alzheimer's when they were infected but had not yet sought out a formal diagnosis," she said.
The study authors, along with Snyder and other experts, also identify this work as a call for more research on the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease that might explain the association.
In the new study, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's was "mostly tentative," said Dr. Eliezer Masliah, director of the Division of Neuroscience at the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging.
Masliah, who was not involved in the study, said that there's evidence that Covid-19 might "trigger cognitive impairment," but there are new ways to confirm the link to Alzheimer's specifically.
One next step would be to follow people at risk for Alzheimer's after a Covid-19 infection long-term to track biomarkers found in the blood and brain scans.
"In the next couple of years, we're going to have a lot of very important information," Masliah said. And it's an "extremely important problem" to watch, given the scale of disease. "Imagine how many millions of people over the age of 60 or 65, like myself, have had Covid. Say 5% of them or 10% of them or even 1% of them are at risk," he said.
"Wow. We're looking at a lot of people in the next few years that might add to the already very large epidemic of Alzheimer's disease that we have." About 6.5 million people over the age of 65 are living with Alzheimer's, according to estimates from the Alzheimer's Association. And it was the seventh leading cause of death in the US in 2020, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Alzheimer's disease is a serious and challenging disease,
Dr. Anthony Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. That means his job — his one job — is to handle a severe outbreak of an infectious disease. But Fauci now reportedly admits he and his team “botched” certain aspects of how to handle Covid after it hit the U.S. in March 2020, including his flip-flopping on the efficacy of masks and the lengthy time it took to make rapid tests available nationwide. “We didn’t know masks worked outside of the hospital setting. available nationwide. There was supposedly a shortage of good masks for the people who were taking care of individuals,” the doctor said in an interview that aired last week at the Texas Tribune Festival, Fox News reports. And he put the blame on others for rapid tests, saying, “They did not get the commercial involvement in the tests quickly. They stuck to their own tests,” he said, not defining just who “they” are.
Back in March 2020, Fauci declared, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.” “When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is,” the doctor said on CBS News. Then in January 2021, Fauci said wearing two masks is likely more effective than wearing one. “If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on it, just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” he told NBC News.
Fauci also admitted at the festival that he knew the “draconian” Covid policies he advocated for would lead to “collateral negative consequences” for the “economy” and for “schoolchildren.”
But, of course, Fauci had some blame to spread around, citing the “divisiveness” of “social media” for his flip-flopping.
“When you have a divisiveness in society where every time you say something, you have X number of people with social media looking to attack it, that adds to the understandable confusion when you’re dealing with an evolving outbreak,” Fauci said.
“Of course, when you make recommendations, if the primary goal when you’re dealing with a situation where the hospitals were being overrun in New York, intensive care units were being put in hallways, you have to do something that’s rather draconian,” the doctor said.
“And sometimes when you do draconian things, it has collateral negative consequences, just like when you shut things down, even temporarily, it does have deleterious consequences on the economy, on the schoolchildren. You know that,” he said.
Fauci, though, said there was a method to the madness.
“If you shut things down just for the sake of it, that’s bad,” he said, adding, “But if you do it with the purpose of being able to regroup so that you can then open up in a more safe way, that’s the best way to do it.”
In the months after the virus first hit, it became clear that children are the least endangered. Last week, the Department of Education said American students had “the largest average score decline in reading since 1990, and the first ever score decline in mathematics,” Fox News reported.
In his comments, Fauci was saying what other health officials have already said about governments’ response to the pandemic.
Governments “showed themselves to be untrustworthy and ineffective” during the pandemic by failing to “adhere to basic norms of institutional rationality and transparency,” the Lancet Covid Commission of international experts reported last week.
And Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, last month ordered a full reorganization of the agency, saying its response to Covid “did not reliably meet expectations.” Continue reading on www.dailywire.com
There are signs that the United Kingdom could be heading into a fall Covid-19 wave, and experts say the United States may not be far behind. A recent increase in Covid-19 cases in England doesn’t seem to be driven by a new coronavirus variant, at least for now, although several are gaining strength in the US and across the pond.
“Generally, what happens in the UK is reflected about a month later in the US. I think this is what I’ve sort of been seeing,” said Dr. Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at Kings College London. Spector runs the Zoe Health Study, which uses an app to let people in the UK and US report their daily symptoms. If they start to feel bad, they take a home Covid-19 test and record those results. He says that about 500,000 people are currently logging their symptoms every day to help track trends in the pandemic.
Spector says the study, which has been running since the days of the first lockdown in England in 2020, has accurately captured the start of each wave, and its numbers run about one to two weeks ahead of official government statistics.
After seeing a downward trend for the past few weeks, the Zoe study saw a 30% increase in reported Covid-19 cases within the past week.
“Our current data is definitely showing this is the beginning of the next wave,” Spector said.
On Friday, that increase was reflected in official UK government data too, although it was not as large as the increases reported by Zoe loggers.
Data from the National Health Service showed that after falling for nearly two months, the seven-day average of new cases in England and Wales rose 13% for the week ending September 17 over the week before. The seven-day average of hospitalizations was up 17% in the week ending September 19 compared with the week prior.
The data aligns with what models have predicted would happen in both the UK and the US. “They predicted that we’d get a June to July peak and then there’d be a month where nothing happened in August and then it would flatten in in August and September and then start again in October. So it’s exactly matching what the modelers have have been predicting,” Spector said. In the US, some models have predicted that Covid-19 cases will begin to rise again in October and continue to increase into the winter. Experts are hopeful that because most of the population now has some underlying immunity to the coronavirus, this wave would be less deadly than we’ve seen in previous winters. Is this a blip or a wave? It’s not clear what’s driving the increase in the UK or whether it will be sustained.
“These trends may continue for more than a week or two, or they may not,” said Kevin McConway, emeritus professor of applied statistics at the Open University in Milton Keynes, England.
Broken down by age, he says, there are clear increases among adolescents who are around middle school age and younger adults, those 25 through 34.
“It wouldn’t be surprising if there were some increase in infection as people come back from summer holidays and as the schools reopen,” McConway said in a statement to the nonprofit Science Media Centre. “Even if it is, there’s certainly no clear indication yet that it will continue.”
He’s not the only one who needs to see more data before calling this the start of a new wave.
“Question one is, how significant is that rise? Is it, for instance, the beginning of something, a new wave, or is this a temporary blip because of all of the getting together around the Queen’s funeral and other events that have been going on?” said Dr. Peter Hotez, who co-directs the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.
A second important question will be whether the increase is being driven by a new variant.
“That’s the worst possible situation. Because historically, when that situation occurs in the UK, it’s reflected within a matter of weeks in the United States,” Hotez said.
Scientists warn repeated Covid boosters may result in lowered immunity through a process known as “original antigenic sin” or “immune imprinting.” Original antigenic sin describes how your first exposure to a virus shapes the outcome of subsequent exposures to antigenically related strains. The end result is that you become increasingly prone to symptomatic infections
Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirm that people who got two or three Covid jabs are MORE likely to get ill with Covid six to eight months after the last dose than had they gotten none
Health authorities are potentially worsening matters further by pushing people to simultaneously get the updated bivalent Covid booster and a quadrivalent flu vaccine this fall
The Covid jab and the flu vaccine are the No. 1 and No. 2 most dangerous injections respectively, based on adverse event reports and payouts from the U.S. Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Both are also capable of shedding, and both can make you more prone to infection as their protection wears off.
Covid-19 has been going on for nearly three years, and with a whole new set of untested Covid boosters being rolled out, some scientists are taking a step back, cautioning that there still are unanswered questions about how the shots work.
They say more research needs to be done on what is known as “original antigenic sin,” aka “immune imprinting,” which refers to how your immune system responds to repeated introductions of the Covid variants. Understanding Original Antigenic Sin The following description of original antigenic sin was published in a January 2019 Journal of Immunology paper titled “Original Antigenic Sin: How First Exposure Shapes Lifelong Anti–Influenza Virus Immune Responses”:
“The term ‘original antigenic sin’ (OAS) was first used in the 1960s to describe how one’s first exposure to influenza virus shapes the outcome of subsequent exposures to antigenically related strains. In the decades that have passed, OAS-like responses have been shown to play an integral role in both protection from and susceptibility to infections.
OAS may also have an important deterministic role in the differential efficacy of influenza vaccine responses observed for various age cohorts across seasons …
OAS describes the phenomenon whereby the development of immunity against pathogens/Ags is shaped by the first exposure to a related pathogen/Ag … subsequent infections with similar influenza virus strains preferentially boost the Ab response against the original strain …
The critical role of primary exposure in shaping the composition of the Ab repertoire was not only observed in humans after influenza virus infections; this phenomenon was also observed in animal models and in the context of other infectious agents.
For example, additional serum absorption experiments in ferrets infected in succession with three different influenza virus strains demonstrated that nearly all of the host Abs after the infection series were reactive against the first strain, only a fraction of serum Abs could be absorbed by the secondary virus, and fewer yet by the tertiary virus.” Simplified Example Here’s a layman’s summary to illustrate this phenomenon as simply as possible, within the context of Covid:
Exposed to the original Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 strain, your humoral immune system is programmed to produce antibodies against that specific virus. Similarly, if you got the jab, your body will produce antibodies against the viral spike protein formulated into that shot. Exposed to the Delta strain, your immune system responds first by boosting production of the original antibodies, while antibodies specific against Delta are produced in a far lower amount as it takes time for your body to respond to the new strain. Exposed to an Omicron variant, your immune system again responds by boosting the original antibodies,
A federal court in Texas is giving the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) until Friday to release the first batch of data on adverse events following Covid-19 vaccination collected by the agency via its V-safe app. The order by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas-Austin Division follows a series of lawsuits filed by the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), an Austin-based nonprofit “focused on the scientific integrity of vaccines and [the] pharmaceutical industry.”
According to ICAN, the court order requires the CDC to release the first batch of 19 months’ worth of data collected from millions of participants who reported adverse events related to Covid-19 vaccination via the V-safe app between Dec. 14, 2020, and July 31, 2022. In all, the CDC will be required to release more than 137 million health V-safe entries.
The CDC describes V-safe as a smartphone app that “provides personalized and confidential check-ins via text messages and web surveys,” enabling users to “quickly and easily share with CDC how you, or your dependent, feel after getting a Covid-19 vaccine.”
According to the CDC, “This information helps CDC monitor the safety of Covid-19 vaccines in near real time,” adding that the purpose of the V-safe app “is to rapidly characterize the safety profile of Covid-19 vaccines when given outside a clinical trial setting.” Public will ‘see for themselves the actual self-reported data’ The data collected via the V-safe app is “collected, managed, and housed on a secure server by Oracle,” with only the CDC having “access to the individualized survey data.”
Oracle’s access is limited to “aggregate deidentified data for reporting.”
This distinction led to the main thrust of ICAN’s lawsuits against the CDC. ICAN argued that “based on the CDC’s own documentation, the data submitted to V-safe is already available in deidentified form (with no personal health information) and could be immediately released to the public.”
ICAN submitted three Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for the deidentified data collected via V-safe, “in the same form in which Oracle can currently access it.”
However, ICAN said, the CDC “had apparently not read its own documentation regarding V-safe” and refused ICAN’s requests, claiming “information in the app is not deidentified.”
Even when ICAN clarified its FOIA request to specifically ask for “all data deidentified after [emphasis original] it was submitted to the V-safe app,” the CDC “administratively closed this request stating it was duplicative of the original request.”
ICAN responded by suing the CDC in federal court in December 2021, via its attorney, Aaron Siri, for the release of this data.
Siri also represented Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, the organization that sued the U.S. Food and Drug Association (FDA) for the release of data from the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine trials — a lawsuit that was successful.
Following a new FOIA request by ICAN in April 2022, for the release of “all data submitted to V-safe since January 1, 2020,” and the CDC’s subsequent refusal, ICAN filed a second lawsuit in May 2022.
ICAN said these successive refusals on the part of the CDC came “despite the CDC’s ability to immediately release this deidentified data pursuant to its own protocol,” based on the claim that “the information in the app is not deidentified.”
ICAN commented on the significance of the ruling, stating in a press release: “This is a huge win for ICAN and for the American public, who will finally start to be able to see for themselves the actual self-reported nationwide data about the safety of the Covid-19 vaccines.” Brian Hooker, chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense, called the ruling an “absolutely huge development.”
Hooker told The Defender:
“This is an absolutely huge development and I’ll be waiting with anticipation as the V-safe data are released.
The Canadian federal government says it's dropping all Covid-19 measures at borders on Saturday, meaning travelers will no longer need to provide proof of vaccination when entering Canada or wear masks on planes and trains. As of Oct. 1, all travelers, regardless of citizenship, will no longer have to:
Submit public health information through the ArriveCAN app or website; Provide proof of vaccination; Undergo pre- or on-arrival testing; Carry out Covid-19-related quarantine or isolation; Monitor and report if they develop signs or symptoms of Covid-19 upon arriving to Canada; Undergo health checks for travel on air and rail; Or wear masks on planes and trains.
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said Monday's decision is not a sign Canada is out of the pandemic, but said the government's data showed the importation of new variants was no longer having an effect on the evolution of the virus in country.
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos says as of today Canada will drop the order-in-council regarding travel mandates, meaning travelers can come into Canada without the use of ArriveCAN or needing to isolate or quarantine if they test positive for Covid-19.
"If anybody believes the pandemic is over, I invite them to visit a hospital," he said.
"That decision again was driven by the evidence that we have seen over the last few weeks and months, which is that the transmission and cost of transmission of Covid-19 on our health-care workers, hospitals and including those patients who have seen backlogs in their surgeries and treatments over the last two years and a half ... are now almost entirely driven by domestic transmission of Covid-19. That's where we need to invest our energy."
The measures also apply to cruise ships so passengers will no longer be required to take pre-board tests, be vaccinated or use ArriveCAN. The government said guidelines will remain in place to protect passengers and crew, keeping in step with the United States.
Last week a group of MPs and border-city mayors published an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden asking them to end the "unnecessary" rules at the border, a move they say would allow border communities to recover economically from the pandemic.
Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra announces that as of Oct. 1, passengers on planes and trains will no longer be required to wear a mask.
Duclos said those concerns also weighed on the government's decision to lift the measures.
"When making those decisions, we are mindful of the challenges and the cost that border communities have been facing over the last few weeks and months. It has been hard for them," he said.
"My colleagues and all members of our caucus have felt that and listened to them."
The health minister didn't rule out reinstating restrictions if they are needed to keep Canadians safe. Masks still recommended: Njoo While masks will soon no longer be mandatory, Dr. Howard Njoo, Canada's deputy chief health officer, said he still recommends that people wear masks on planes and trains.
"The science is clear: wearing a mask is clearly a means of personal protection that is extremely effective," he said.
"I hope Canadians will make an enlightened decision about this."
Dr. Howard Njoo, the deputy chief public health officer of Canada, urges Canadians to continue wearing masks in 'certain contexts' despite the latest removal of mask mandates.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said the ArriveCan app can still be used by travellers to submit customs declarations in advance at major airports. That option is available at international airports in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, but there are plans to expand to airports in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Quebec City, Halifax and the Billy Bishop airport in Toronto.
The government also said the Canada Border Services Agency is looking at adding features to ArriveCan,
The Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has acknowledged publicly for the first time that the agency gave false information about its Covid-19 vaccine safety monitoring. Dr. Rochelle Walensky admitted that her agency falsely claimed it was carrying out robust safety monitoring in 2021 and that it only actually did so from March 2022 – but it still refuses to release the full data. The Epoch Times has the story.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the [CDC’s] Director, said in a letter made public on September 12th that the CDC did not analyze certain types of adverse event reports at all in 2021, despite the agency previously saying it started in February 2021.
“CDC performed PRR analysis between March 25th 2022, through July 31st 2022,” Walensky said. “CDC also recently addressed a previous statement made to the Epoch Times to clarify PRR were not run between February 26th 2021 to September 30th 2021.”
Walensky’s agency had promised in several documents, starting in early 2021, to perform a type of analysis called Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR) on reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which it helps manage.
But the agency said in June that it did not perform PRRs. It also said that performing them was “outside th[e] agency’s purview”.
Confronted with the contradiction, Dr. John Su, a CDC official, told the Epoch Timesin July that the agency started performing PRRs in February 2021 and “continues to do so to date.”
But just weeks later, the CDC said Su was wrong.
“CDC performed PRRs from March 25th 2022 through July 31st 2022,” a spokeswoman told the Epoch Timesin August.
Walensky’s new letter, dated September 2nd and sent on September 6th to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), shows that Walensky is aware that her agency gave false information. Walensky’s letter included no explanation of why that happened. The Epoch Times reports that the CDC has “still not provided the results of the PRRs that were performed”, either to the Epoch Times or to Senator Johnson. The FDA, which has conducted “Empirical Bayesian data mining on Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System reports” also refused to provide any of the results to the Epoch Times. Dr. Walensky claimed in her letter that Empirical Bayesian (EB) data mining is more reliable, and that the PRR results “were generally consistent with EB data mining, revealing no additional unexpected safety signals”.
Senator Johnson replied that without the data “the American people, the public cannot verify your assertion”. Continue reading on dailysceptic.org
An Indian court ordered Bill Gates, the Indian government and the Serum Institute of India — the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer — to provide formal responses relating to a case filed by the father of a 33-year-old doctor who died after receiving AstraZeneca’s Covishield Covid-19 vaccine. An Indian court ordered Bill Gates, the Indian government and the Serum Institute of India — the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer — to provide formal responses relating to a case filed by the father of a woman who died after receiving AstraZeneca’s Covishield Covid-19 vaccine.
The High Court of Judicature at Bombay set a Nov. 17 deadline for the responses and scheduled a hearing for the same day.
In a lawsuit filed in February, Dilip Lunawat alleged his daughter, Snehal Lunawat, died March 1, 2021, of complications arising from the Covishield vaccine. He is seeking compensation of ₹1000 crores (approximately $126 million).
According to the lawsuit, Lunawat “lost his elder daughter. His loss can neither be explained in words nor can be compensated in terms of money. Only some sort of succour can be done by awarding compensation.”
Defendants in the case include Adar Poonawalla, CEO of the Serum Institute; Bill Gates, in his role as partner in the development of the Covishield vaccine; the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare; the Indian State of Maharashtra; India’s drug controller general; the former director of the All India Institute of Medical Science and others.
A lawyer representing Gates reportedly appeared before the High Court to accept the notice. 33-year-old doctor died due to ‘rare blood-clotting event’ following vaccination Snehal Lunawat was a 33-year-old doctor and senior lecturer at the SMBT Dental College & Hospital in Maharashtra State. According to her father, she was compelled, as a health worker, to get the Covishield vaccine. On Jan. 28, 2021, Snehal received the Covishield vaccine, which is produced by the Serum Institute. Her father claims his daughter had received assurances the vaccines were entirely safe and posed no risk to her health. However, her father stated, Snehal developed severe headaches and vomiting while attending a workshop just days after receiving the vaccine, resulting in her hospitalization. There, doctors said that she was suffering from bleeding in the brain, low platelet count and blood clot formation. After 14 days elapsed without her condition improving, Snehal’s family transferred her to another hospital, where she died eight days later.
Snehal experienced a “rare blood-clotting event,” a complication that resulted in her blood platelet count decreasing due to increased bleeding in her brain.
According to the lawsuit, these adverse reactions have been found to be related to the AstraZeneca and Covishield Covid-19 vaccines in some countries. Lawsuit claims vaccination occurred based on ‘false narrative’ The lawsuit names the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) for its role in helping to speed up the process of manufacturing and delivering up to 100 million doses of Covishield for distribution in India and various developing countries.
In the lawsuit, Lunawat “blamed the Government and others for misrepresenting the facts about the Covid-19 vaccine by making false claims about its safety and ‘forcing’ medical practitioners to take the vaccine.”
Lunawat said his daughter was convinced to receive the vaccine as a result of an “alleged false narrative.”
The lawsuit characterized interviews given by Indian public health officials in the nation’s media as contributing to this “false narrative,” naming several of these interviews, including one by Dr. VG Somani, drug controller general of India, that was broadcast on Jan. 4, 2021, and during which Somani claimed, “the vaccines are 110 percent safe.”
It was “on the basis of such false narratives and misrepresentation by the senior authorities … and its implementation by the state authorities ...
The times are changing! Remember how we said that vaccine shedding is a real thing and breastfeeding after vaccination is dangerous? Our warnings were dismissed as “misinformation” and we were cast as ignorant, science-denying cranks. Well, now the Journal of American Medical Association published a letter (archive link) that proved conclusively that mRNA vaccine shedding is real! The vaccine mRNA is indeed shed in breast milk and is affecting babies that receive said milk.
This letter provides lab results proving that concerns of the so-called “antivaxxers” were fully justified!
The JAMA letter is quite simple. Scientists picked 11 lactating women, who received Pfizer (6 women) or Moderna (5 women) vaccines during lactation.
After vaccination, breast milk was analyzed for the presence of mRNA nanoparticles. Not surprisingly, 7 samples were POSITIVE for the presence of mRNA.
The authors also point out that the promises of mRNA vaccines that “vaccine stays in the shoulder” were lies. The vaccine traveled to the breasts and was transferred into breast milk.
These data demonstrate for the first time to our knowledge the biodistribution of Covid-19 vaccine mRNA to mammary cells and the potential ability of tissue EVs to package the vaccine mRNA that can be transported to distant cells. Little has been reported on lipid nanoparticle biodistribution and localization in human tissues after Covid-19 mRNA vaccination.
Despite that, the authors say the following, possibly to get their letter past the JAMA censors:
The sporadic presence and trace quantities of Covid-19 vaccine mRNA detected in EBM suggest that breastfeeding after Covid-19 mRNA vaccination is safe, particularly beyond 48 hours after vaccination.
Your first reading of the above sentence might suggest that the authors said “Covid-19 mRNA vaccination is safe”. But it is ominously qualified with “particularly beyond 48 hours after vaccination”, plainly meaning that breastfeeding within 48 hours after vaccination is NOT safe.
It is sad that researchers have to say things (it is safe and effective) that contradict the plain meaning of this article (women shed mRNA nanoparticles on their infants). Our friend Modern Discontent recently posted a great guide to reading scientific papers, where he also lamented how article conclusions often contradict article data. This article is a perfect example of that, and there is plenty more of such examples in the Covid world.
This is why paying attention to what the article says, beyond platitudes, is paramount. Wildly Differing Concentrations of mRNA make it MORE Dangerous Look at this chart showing concentrations of mRNA in milk. The worst concentration was EIGHT TIMES the lowest concentration. This means that likely, in a larger sample of women, the disparity between highest and lowest values would be even greater.
What is the deadly concentration of mRNA that could cause the death of an infant in the Pfizer trial (see below)? Nobody knows and the FDA does not care.
The detection limit (per supplement) was 1 pg/mL. What if levels just below 1 pg/mL could be harmful? We have no idea. Dead Infant Confidential Pfizer documents, which the FDA wanted to hide from us for 75 years, show a case of an infant, possibly killed by mRNA nanoparticles shed by a recently vaccinated mother.
The “neonatal death” and numerous other neonatal problems in infants exposed to vaccinated mothers’ breast milk are discussed in my article above.
Astute reader Chris Coons Toupee located the VAERS entry for this dead infant.
They Lied to Us Remember how we were assured that “vaccines are safe for mothers”?
Turned out that not only they were NOT safe, but also that the fact-checkers and authorities outright lied about safety, since they studiously avoided collecting any data that would confirm it! They also IGNORED Pfizer’s own reports of 17 neonatal problems and wanted to hide that for 75...
The Journal of Insulin Resistance published a two-part research paper, “Curing the pandemic of misinformation on Covid-19 mRNA vaccines through real evidence-based medicine.” This was written by one of the U.K.’s most eminent cardiologists, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, who was one of the first to take two doses of the vaccine and promote it on “Good Morning Britain.”
Malhotra now says that since the rollout of the vaccine, the evidence of its effectiveness and true rates of adverse events have changed and now, “There is a strong scientific, ethical, and moral case to be made that Covid-19 vaccines rollout must stop immediately until raw data has been released for fully independent scrutiny.”

Furthermore, real-world data reveal that in the non-elderly population, the number needed to vaccinate to prevent one death from Covid-19 runs into thousands and that re-analysis of randomized controlled trial data from the initial vaccine clinical trials suggests a greater risk of suffering a serious adverse event from the vaccine than to be hospitalized with Covid-19.
Summary overviews of the two-part research paper are below, together with a transcript of the above video in which he introduces his findings. Part 1 “Background: In response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), several new pharmaceutical agents have been administered to billions of people worldwide, including the young and healthy at little risk from the virus.
“Considerable leeway has been afforded in terms of the pre-clinical and clinical testing of these agents, despite an entirely novel mechanism of action and concerning biodistribution characteristics.
“Aim: To gain a better understanding of the true benefits and potential harms of the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) coronavirus disease (Covid) vaccines.
“Methods: A narrative review of the evidence from randomized trials and real world data of the Covid mRNA products with special emphasis on BionTech/Pfizer vaccine.
“Results: In the non-elderly population the ‘number needed to treat’ to prevent a single death runs into the thousands.
“Re-analysis of randomized controlled trials using the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology suggests a greater risk of serious adverse events from the vaccines than being hospitalized from Covid-19s.
“Pharmacovigilance systems and real-world safety data, coupled with plausible mechanisms of harm, are deeply concerning, especially in relation to cardiovascular safety.
“Mirroring a potential signal from the Pfizer Phase 3 trial, a significant rise in cardiac arrest calls to ambulances in England was seen in 2021, with similar data emerging from Israel in the 16–39-year-old age group.
“Conclusion: It cannot be said that the consent to receive these agents was fully informed, as is required ethically and legally. A pause and reappraisal of global vaccination policies for Covid-19 is long overdue.” Part 2 “Background: Authorities and sections of the medical profession have supported unethical, coercive, and misinformed policies such as vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, undermining the principles of ethical evidence-based medical practice and informed consent.
“These regrettable actions are a symptom of the ‘medical information mess’: The tip of a mortality iceberg where prescribed medications are estimated to be the third most common cause of death globally after heart disease and cancer.
“Aim: To identify the major root causes of these public health failures.
“Methods: A narrative review of both current and historical driving factors that underpin the pandemic of medical misinformation.
“Results: Underlying causes for this failure include regulatory capture — guardians that are supposed to protect the public are in fact funded by the corporations that stand to gain from the sale of those medications.
“A failure of public health messaging has also resulted in wanton waste ...
Fewer than 2% of eligible Americans have elected to receive a new Covid booster shot, according to CDC data. While more than 4.4 million Americans have received a “bivalent” Covid booster shot, only 1.5% of people for whom the shot is available have actually gotten it since the CDC started recommending it several weeks ago. The latest Covid vaccine booster is designed with Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5 in mind.
The CDC’s Covid vaccine tracker shows that 67.8% of the U.S. population who are eligible for the vaccine have completed the primary series of shots. The Bloomberg tracker shows that 32.5% have received at least one booster.
On September 1, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky recommended the booster, providing the following statement: “The updated Covid-19 boosters are formulated to better protect against the most recently circulating Covid-19 variant. They can help restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination and were designed to provide broader protection against newer variants. This recommendation followed a comprehensive scientific evaluation and robust scientific discussion. If you are eligible, there is no bad time to get your Covid-19 booster and I strongly encourage you to receive it.”
As the CDC and many public health officials are recommending booster shots, the White House is dealing with an unforced crisis regarding Covid after President Joe Biden said that the pandemic was “over” during a recent “60 Minutes” interview.
“Mr. President, first Detroit Auto Show in three years. Is the pandemic over?” host Scott Pelley asked. “The pandemic is over,” Biden claimed. “We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lotta work on it. It’s — but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing, and I think this is a perfect example of it.” Following Biden’s claim, as well as subsequent backlash from many on the Left, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre walked back the president’s remark during an appearance on MSNBC.
According to The New York Times, as of September 22, the 7-day average daily Covid cases stood at over 55,000 with approximately 424 deaths. The highest 7-day average came in January 2022 with over 800,000, and the highest 7-day death counts came in January 2021 with over 3,300 deaths. Continue reading on www.dailywire.com
Quadruple vaxxed Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla announced he tested positive for Covid again on Saturday. “I have tested positive for Covid,” said Bourla on his Twitter account. “I’m feeling well & symptom-free. I’ve not had the new bivalent booster yet, as I was following CDC guidelines to wait 3 months since my previous Covid case which was back in mid-August.” It can be recalled that the new bivalent boosters were not tested on humans – only on mice.
“While we’ve made great progress, the virus is still with us,” he concluded.
One user responded to Bourla, he said, “You’ve had Covid more times than many unvaccinated people. Is it possible that maybe… just maybe the boosters are weakening your immune system? I am no doctor or anything – I’m just a lawyer with half a brain.”
Another user said, “Again? We already know it’s not safe and thanks for once again confirming it’s not effective.”
This is the second time in 40 days that the CEO of Pfizer has been tested for Covid-19.
Last month, Bourla announced he tested positive for Covid and said he started a course of Paxlovid.
“I would like to let you know that I have tested positive for #Covid19. I am thankful to have received four doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and I am feeling well while experiencing very mild symptoms. I am isolating and have started a course of Paxlovid.” Bourla said.
Just one year ago Albert Bourla claimed his Pfizer vaccine was 100% effective in preventing Covid in cases in South Africa. “Excited to share that updated analysis from our Phase 3 study with BioNTech also showed that our Covid-19 vaccine was 100% effective in preventing #Covid19 cases in South Africa. 100%!” the Pfizer CEO said in April 2021.
This is the same guy who said people who dare ‘spread misinformation’ about Covid vaccines are “criminals.”
Bourla said people who circulate misinformation about Covid jabs and dare speak ill of his product are “criminals.”
“Those people are criminals,” Bourla told Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe on Tuesday. “They’re not bad people. They’re criminals because they have literally cost millions of lives.” Continue reading on www.thegatewaypundit.com
On Friday, Hong Kong announced that it will end mandatory hotel quarantine, scrapping some of the world's toughest travel restrictions, which battered the economy and kept the finance hub internationally isolated for almost two years. This move has brought relief to residents and businesses, which have been suffering due to the strict travel restrictions. For the past two and a half years, Hong Kong has adhered to a version of China's strict zero-Covid rules. After Hong Kong's announcement, China will be the only country still hewing to lengthy quarantine for international arrivals. Hong Kong to Follow 0+3 scheme Chief Executive John Lee said the current three days of hotel quarantine would be reduced to zero for those arriving from overseas, reported AFP. From September 26, travelers will be subject to PCR tests on arrival and will be unable to visit restaurants and bars for the first three days under system authorities have dubbed "0+3".
"Under this arrangement, the quarantine hotel system will be cancelled," Lee told reporters. Rules to follow:
Strict pandemic rules will stay in place, including social distancing restrictions, mandatory mask wearing and digital health codes to enter public venues. Overseas arrivals will also need further PCR tests on days two, four and six in the city. Tourists who test positive face being isolated in hotel rooms at their own expense. Most residents can isolate themselves at home, but those who cannot be sent to government facilities. Group gatherings of more than four people in public remain banned. Authorities also said they were lifting quotas on arrivals from mainland China -- but those going in the opposite direction must still quarantine under Beijing's strict zero-Covid rules, said an AFP report.

One Seattle morning, Carolina Reid sat in a room with nine other volunteers, each waiting to take part in a clinical trial for a new, experimental malaria vaccine. Reid's turn came. She put her arm over a cardboard box filled with 200 mosquitoes and covered with a mesh that keeps them in but still lets them bite. "Literally a Chinese food takeout container" is how she remembers it. A scientist then covered her arm with a black cloth, because mosquitoes like to bite at night.
Then the feeding frenzy began.
"My whole forearm swelled and blistered," says Reid. "My family was laughing, asking like, 'why are you subjecting yourself to this?'" And she didn't just do it once. She did it five times.
You may be thinking – this is a joke, right? But it's not. "We use the mosquitoes like they're 1,000 small flying syringes," explains University of Washington, Seattle physician and scientist Dr. Sean Murphy, lead author on a paper in Science Translational Medicine released on August 24 detailing the vaccine trials. The insects deliver live malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites that have been genetically modified to not get people sick. The body still makes antibodies against the weakened parasite so it's prepared to fight the real thing.
To be clear, Murphy's not planning to use mosquitoes to vaccinate millions of people. Mosquitoes have been used to deliver malaria vaccines for clinical trials in the past, but it's not common.
He and his colleagues went this route because it is costly and time consuming to develop a formulation of a parasite that can be delivered with a needle. The parasites mature inside mosquitoes so at this proof of concept stage – as early stage trials are called — it makes sense to use them for delivery. "They went old school with this one," says Dr. Kirsten Lyke, a physician and vaccine researcher at the University of Maryland School of Medicine who was not involved in the study. "All things old become new again." She calls the use of a genetically modified live parasite "a total game changer" for vaccine development. This type of vaccine is of course not yet ready for prime time. But the small trial of 26 participants did show that the modified parasites protected some participants from a malaria infection for a few months.
Murphy believes this approach could someday result in a vaccine that's substantially more effective than the world's first malaria vaccine, the RTS,S vaccine from drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline. The World Health Organization approved it last year, but it only has an efficacy rate of 30-40%. Mosquitoes and malaria – a toxic relationship Reid was looking for work when she joined the trial in 2018. "The first thing that caught my eye was the money," she says — a $4,100 payment for participants. But when she spoke to friends who'd contracted malaria, she found a different motivation. She said it was no longer about the money at that point – though it was still nice – but instead being a part of important research.
Malaria parasites live in the salivary glands of Anopheles mosquitoes. The disease is most common in Africa where the warm climate suits the growth of the parasite. People get malaria from the bite of an infected mosquito. Infected people can pass the malaria parasite to mosquitoes who bite them, and the cycle of infection continues.
Countries try to curb malaria with mosquito netting, insecticidal sprays, anti-malarial drugs and even by releasing genetically modified mosquitoes that can't bite or lay eggs.
Even with those measures, scientists estimate there are over 240 million cases of malaria a year and over 600,000 deaths – which is why vaccines are needed. A promising start – but there's room for improvement The reason Murphy thinks this experimental vaccine should stimulate a more powerful immune response than the WHO-approved RTS,S vaccine is that it uses a whole weakened parasite. RTS,S targets "just one out of more than 5,
It should have been the start of new insight into a debilitating illness. In May 2017, I was patient No. 4 in a group of 20 taking part in a deep and intense study at the National Institutes of Health aimed at getting to the root causes of myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease that causes extreme exhaustion, sleep issues, and pain, among other symptoms. What the researchers found as they took our blood, harvested our stem cells, ran tests to check our brain function, put us through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), strapped us to tilt tables, ran tests on our heart and lungs, and more could have helped prepare doctors everywhere for the avalanche of long Covid cases that’s come alongside the pandemic.
Instead, we are all still waiting for answers.
In 2012, I was hit by a sudden fever and dizziness. The fever got better, but over the next 6 months, my health declined, and by December I was almost completely bedbound. The many symptoms were overwhelming: muscle weakness, almost paralyzing fatigue, and brain dysfunction so severe, I had trouble remembering a four-digit PIN for 10 seconds. Electric shock-like sensations ran up and down my legs. At one point, as I tried to work, letters on my computer monitor began swirling around, a terrifying experience that only years later I learned was called oscillopsia. My heart rate soared when I stood, making it difficult to remain upright.
I learned I had post-infectious myalgic encephalomyelitis, also given the unfortunate name chronic fatigue syndrome by the CDC (now commonly known as ME/CFS). The illness ended my career as a newspaper science and medical reporter and left me 95% bedbound for more than 2 years. As I read about ME/CFS, I discovered a history of an illness not only neglected, but also denied. It left me in despair.
In 2015, I wrote to then-NIH director Francis Collins, MD, and asked him to reverse decades of inattention from the National Institutes of Health. To his credit, he did. He moved responsibility for ME/CFS from the small Office of Women’s Health to the Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and asked that institute’s head of clinical neurology, neurovirologist Avindra Nath, MD, to design a study exploring the biology of the disorder.
But the coronavirus pandemic interrupted the study, and Nath gave his energy to autopsies and other investigations of Covid-19. While he is devoted and empathetic, the reality is that the NIH’s investment in ME/CFS is tiny. Nath divides his time among many projects. In August, he said he hoped to submit the study’s main paper for publication “within a few months.”
In the spring of 2020, I and other patient advocates warned that a wave of disability would follow the novel coronavirus. The National Academy of Medicine estimates that between 800,000 and 2.5 million Americans had ME/CFS before the pandemic. Now, with billions of people worldwide having been infected by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVD-19, the ranks of people whose lives have been upended by post-viral illness has swelled into nearly uncountable millions.
Back in July 2020, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, MD, said that long Covid is “strikingly similar” to ME/CFS.
It was, and is, a preventable tragedy.
Along with many other patient advocates, I’ve watched in despair as friend after friend, person after person on social media, describe the symptoms of ME/CFS after Covid-19: “I got mildly sick”; “I thought I was fine – then came overwhelming bouts of fatigue and muscle pain”; “my extremities tingle”; “my vision is blurry”; ”I feel like a have a never-ending hangover”; “my brain stopped working”; “I can’t make decisions or complete daily tasks”; “I had to stop exercising after short sessions flattened me. ”What’s more, many doctors deny long Covid exists, just as many have denied ME/CFS exists. And it is true that some, or maybe even many,
Now is the time for all sane people to see the truth that Covid “vaccines” are killing people believing the propaganda from government, media, and drug companies. There has been a profound change in the nature of the Covid pandemic. Over one million have already been declared dead from Covid. And with more than 500 dying every day in the U.S. (nearly all vaccinated), it is critically important for the public to understand that the Covid vaccines are the root cause of high death rates.
Vaccine shots have now been shown to cause substantial blood damage, and also wreck immune systems. This explains why we have a pandemic of the vaccinated. Note that more Americans have died in 2022 than in the years when there was little or no vaccination, 2020 and 2021. In other words, the vaccines have produced more deaths. Thus, defining the pandemic of the vaccinated. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died from the vaccines, and many vaccine deaths are buried in the category of Covid deaths.
There are different kinds of lethal vaccine consequences. First, some people die soon after getting a shot, from heart attacks, strokes, or heart inflammation. Some victims, especially younger men, often die soon after getting a shot. The are countless news accounts of healthy young men, often athletes, dying soon after a shot.
In June 2022 this was reported: “According to International Olympic Committee data, ‘an average of 29 athletes under the age of 35 suffered sudden death per year from 1966 to 2004.’ From March 2021 to March 2022, 769 athletes have died or suffered cardiac arrest.” Odds are that they were compelled to get vaccinated.
This was a most interesting report: “A local ABC News Station posted a request on Facebook for people to share their stories of unvaccinated loved ones that died. They wanted to make a news story on this. What happened was totally unexpected. In five [days’] time over 250,000 people posted comments, but not about unvaccinated loved ones. All the comments talk about vaccinated loved ones that died shortly after being injected, or that are disabled for life. The 250,000 comments reveal a shocking death wave among the population, and the heart wrenching suffering these injections are causing.” This was given in the most impressive “The Vaccine Death Report: Evidence of millions of deaths and serious adverse events resulting from the experimental Covid -19 injections.” This was produced in September 2021; the numbers would be much higher today.
The following also appeared in this key report:
“This alarming data leads world experts, like the Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine, Dr. Luc Montagnier, to issue a grave warning that we are currently facing the greatest risk of worldwide genocide, in the history of humanity. Even the inventor of the mRNA technology, Dr. Robert Malone, warns against these injections that are using his technology. The situation is so severe that former Pfizer vice president and chief scientist Dr. Mike Yeadon came forward to warn humanity for these extremely dangerous injections. One of his best known videos is titled ‘A Final Warning’. Another world renown scientist, Geert Vanden Bossche, former Head of Vaccine Development Office in Germany, and Chief Scientific Officer at Univac, also risks his name and career, by bravely speaking out against administration of the Covid shots. The vaccine developer warns that the injections can compromise the immunity of the vaccinated, making them vulnerable for every new variant.”
This summary was also given in the Death Report:
“A study by the University of San Francisco, or Salk Institute, shows that the vaccines turn the human body into a spike protein factory, making trillions of spikes that cause blood clots, which cause strokes and heart attacks. Another study confirms how the vaccines can cause deadly blood clots, that in turn cause heart attacks and strokes. The New England Journal of Medicine shows how the jabs cause heart...
A Manhattan supreme court judge ruled on Friday that police officers who were fired because of the city’s Covid vaccine mandate had to be reinstated. The ruling is a a major victory for members of the NYPD’s largest police union. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Lyle Frank wrote the reverberating decision, saying the city’s vaccine mandate on the Police Benevolent Association was invalid “to the extent it has been used to impose a new condition of employment” on the union, the New York Post reported.
Furthermore, the mandatory requirement was also invalid since it issued enforcement beyond “monetary sanctions” prescribed in the law, the judge declared.
Frank noted it would be a “gross overstatement” of the city’s Department of Mental Health and Hygiene to claim power to enforce the vaccine mandate through suspension, unpaid leave, or termination.
As a result, the judge ordered reinstatement for all PBA members placed on leave or terminated due to this issue.
PBA President Pat Lynch said the decision confirms what they have maintained from the beginning of the conflict. “This decision confirms what we have said from the start: the vaccine mandate was an improper infringement on our members’ right to make personal medical decisions in consultation with their own health care professionals,” Lynch said in a statement. “We will continue to fight to protect those rights.” The judge didn’t deny the usefulness of the jab, but simply ruled that employees could not be punished for refusing the injection, according to The Post.
“To be unequivocally clear, this Court does not deny that at the time it was issued the vaccine mandate was appropriate and lawful,” the ruling stated. But the city hadn’t “established a legal basis or lawful authority for the DOH to exclude employees from the workplace and impose any other adverse employment action as an appropriate enforcement mechanism of the vaccine mandate.”
Frank said that any new condition of employment would have to be included in a collective bargaining agreement between a labor union and the city.
The ruling comes on the heels of another favorable decision for NYPD officers as Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arlene Bluth ruled earlier this month that an NYPD officer who sued over the mandate couldn’t be fired for refusing to get the shot, Law Officer reported.
Officer Alexander Deletto, who is Catholic, sought a religious exemption, but it was denied by the city Feb. 15, and later shot down on appeal. The only explanation for denial was that it “does not meet criteria,” according to his lawsuit.
The nine-year police veteran filed suit the day before he was set to be fired on Aug. 5 for not complying with the city vaccination policy. A temporary restraining order blocked his termination until the case could be heard, which occurred September 13.
Bluth said Deletto, 43, should be allowed to keep his job in the ruling. Moreover, the judge noted the city really did not provide a reason why his request was denied.
The two rulings could also set precedents for other unions in various city departments since the mandate isn’t codified in their collectively bargained labor deals.
For starters, the two FDNY unions said Friday they’d look to obtain reinstatement for their members who refused to get the shot. Others will likely follow suit. Continue reading on www.lawofficer.com
A former Eastern Ontario Covid Response Team member, Dr. Chris Alan Shoemaker, gave a speech to hundreds on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on the deadly dangers of the experimental mRNA Covid shots. Holding the national flag of Demark to acknowledge that country’s recent withdrawal of Covid shots for those under 50, he followed this with an exclusive interview with RAIR Foundation USA.
Dr. Shoemaker, a licensed Ontario physician with 45 years of experience, has worked in emergency medicine, family practice, and on military bases. From 2020 through 2022, he worked in direct patient care at the West Ottawa Covid Care Clinic and was part of the Eastern Ontario Response Team to Covid-19. His experience with the vaccines has convinced him that “the vaccine is a more toxic version than the virus. More toxic, more damaging and more lethal, especially in the long term as it damages your t-cells,” he explains. “Your t-cells are an important part of your immune system to fight viruses and cancer. It will kill you quickly or slowly.” Dr. Shoemaker, who traveled to Ottawa from London, Ontario, for a weekend demonstration, is calling on the Canadian government to stop all Covid shots on children.
“Keep your needles out of the shoulders of our children. The medical facts on this are beyond dispute. Children are given zero help by these vaccines,” he said. “It kills two out every 1,000 within a year. Do you want your child to be one of those two who will die?”
Covid vaccines also appear to be killing young doctors in record numbers. Thirty-eight doctors have died across Canada in recent weeks. “Many of them died within ten days of their fourth jab. They were just following the rules. They were good people,” said Dr. Shoemaker.
The numbers are in, and the death statistics are too damning. According to the good doctor, the shots don’t even work. “They make you four times more likely to get Covid. In the last eight months, 95 percent of the people in the ICU are fully vaccinated. The vaccinated have been harmed. Their immune systems are being harmed. Stop harming your immune systems. You are only going to perpetuate the pandemic.”
And it’s also killing children. Britain’s Office of National Statistics recently released a report showing the vaccine’s horrific toll on children. After studying the first eight months of children’s vaccination, they hoped for a 10% reduction in death rates. They found the opposite.
Dr. Shoemaker found that the doubled-vaccinated children died by 5,200%, more than a non-vaccinated child. “Your 10 to 14-year-old is now, by proven statistics out of the United Kingdom, 100 times more likely to die in the following six months than a non-vaccinated child. This is a horrible number. This is why I hold Denmark’s flag proudly at this point.”
Dr. Shoemaker also went on to compare Covid numbers in South Africa, where the rate of vaccination is just six percent, and disease from Covid is minimal, to that of Israel and New Zealand, where vaccination rates are extremely high, disease rates are climbing, and those countries are seeing Vaccine Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. “It’s all junk. It has bad stuff in it. The toxicity of this human-designed genome injected into your shoulder is 100 times worse than getting the virus. The shots go straight into your bloodstream, into your bone marrow, your brain, to your myocardium, ovaries, testicles.” As vaccine recipients awake to the dangers to their health, Dr. Shoemaker fingered spike protein production in the vaccinated as an ongoing risk.
“The effect on the generalized immune system (is bad), the fact that your immune system has been turned into dust if you’ve taken four shots – that is not good for your longevity. Basically, it means that 50 is the new 70. Fifty-year-olds will be dying at the rate of 70-year-olds.”

This is already being confirmed by funeral directors and morticians around the world.
Covid infection rates have increased in the UK for the first time since the middle of July, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). One in 70 tested positive, with the largest rise in secondary school children in the week to 14 September. Infections increased in England and Wales while rates fell in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The ONS says it will closely monitor the data to see the impact of schools returning over the coming weeks.
Infections rose by 5% in the most recent period covered by the survey, although the total number testing positive is still close to its lowest point of the year.
Booster jabs are now being offered to the most vulnerable, to help protection over the winter.
The ONS estimates are based on random tests on people in households across the UK whether or not they have symptoms. From these tests, it says approximately 927,000 people would have tested positive for Covid - 1.4% of the population - an increase from 881,200 the previous week. There were increases in London, the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber and north-east England, while rates continued to decline in the South East. The rise was most noticeable in England in secondary school pupils as the new term started as well as in those aged between 25 and 34. In all other age groups, it was "uncertain" what the trend was. The data marks the first increase in UK infections since the middle of July although rates are still well below spikes driven by the original Omicron variant earlier this year and two related offshoots, known as BA.4 and BA.5, in the summer.
The number being admitted to hospital with Covid in England has also increased over the most recent week.
In total 4,015 patients were admitted in the week ending 19 September, up 17% from 3,434 in the previous week.
A program to offer Covid booster jabs, along with antiviral treatments, to millions of the most vulnerable starting this month is designed to help protect those at greatest risk.
The UK has approved two dual-strain Covid vaccines which are part of that programme.
Across the UK, the ONS estimates Covid rates were:
one in 70 in England - up from one in 75 last week one in 75 in Wales - up from one in 110 last week one in 80 in Northern Ireland - down from one in 55 last week one in 55 in Scotland - down from one in 45 last week
Sarah Crofts, head of analytical outputs for the ONS's Covid-19 infection survey, said it was "a mixed picture" across the UK as infections increased in England and Wales and decreased in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
"It is too early to see if these changing trends will continue, and we will monitor the data closely to see any impact of the return of schools over the coming weeks," she said. Continue reading on www.bbc.com
Film producer Mikki Willis self-funded and self-published the most censored and most-viewed documentary in 2020 exposing the fraud concerning the Covid-19 “pandemic” that he and others have correctly relabeled as the “Plandemic.” If you have never watched it, you are truly missing very important information about the pre-planned event that changed our world forever.
Willis is now producing Plandemic III, and he recently released a 13-minute documentary on Ivermectin, the FDA-approved drug with a 30+ year record of safety and efficacy, which many physicians began to use to treat symptomatic Covid patients with, and a near 100% recovery success rate.
The corporate media and the government medical tyrants, namely Dr. Anthony Fauci, did their best to discredit this simple drug that was curing everyone, because to admit the truth was to admit that legally they had no basis to issue an emergency use authorization (EUA) for novel new drugs to treat Covid, including the Covid-19 vaccines.
We have covered this issue extensively for the past 2 years, and the crimes against humanity that saw literally millions of people worldwide die needlessly due to this negative propaganda, and a search on our network for Ivermectin will return a result of 53 articles.
Of these 53 articles, this one was my favorite, although I wept as I published it, from a world-renowned doctor from my own hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
And let me just cut off those readers who will want to try and comment on this article, or email me personally, to criticize me for publishing this information saying things like: “Covid is a hoax! How can you treat something that is not real??”
I am sorry, but those of you who take this position and constantly criticize me with such comments are very shallow in your thinking. What difference does it make if Covid-19 is a hoax when it comes to the story of Ivermectin and other re-purposed drugs, not to mention those doctors who used non-pharmaceutical treatments such as intravenous Vitamin C therapy, and saw so many people healed?
These are real stories of real people, and people really got sick. Whether or not you want to call their illness “Covid-19” makes no difference when you are saving lives. It is just a label, and as we have conclusively demonstrated here at Health Impact News, the Covid-19 label by and large just replaced the “influenza virus” label starting in 2020, as there just were not enough sick people to have BOTH the flu AND Covid-19 making people sick in 2020.
Flu cases all but disappeared, but people most certainly were getting sick, mostly older people with co-morbidity factors, very similar to the annual flu season.
Many want to claim that Covid-19 was much “worse” than the yearly influenza outbreaks, but there is no way scientifically to attribute that to a new “deadly” virus. The lockdowns and social isolation alone, especially among the elderly, and all the fear caused by broadcasting 24/7 that a deadly new “virus” was plaguing the world, is alone sufficient cause to make 2020 worse than most flu seasons.
And as it turned out, repurposed existing drugs to treat upper respiratory infections worked very well, with Ivermectin leading the pack, but doctors were persecuted, censored, and even arrested for practicing good medicine, as the goal all along was to produce a novel new vaccine based on mRNA technology, and there was no way the Globalists were going to allow generic, cheap and effective drugs, get in their way to accomplish their goal of sticking a needle into the arm of every single person living on the planet.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released new data showing a total of 1,418,220 reports of adverse events following Covid-19 vaccines were submitted between Dec. 14, 2020, and Sept. 16, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). That’s an increase of 10,811 adverse events over the previous week. VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
The data included a total of 31,074 reports of deaths — an increase of 139 over the previous week — and 258,480 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 1,253 compared with the previous week.
There were a total of 563 reports of adverse events following the new bivalent booster Covid-19 vaccine as of Sept. 16, 2022. The data included a total of 5 deaths and 31 serious injuries.
Of the 31,074 reported deaths, 19,934 cases are attributed to Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, 8,385 cases to Moderna, 2,704 cases to Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and no cases yet reported for Novavax.
Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 868,175 adverse events, including 14,531 deaths and 90,422 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and Sept. 16, 2022.
Foreign reports are reports foreign subsidiaries send to U.S. vaccine manufacturers. Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, if a manufacturer is notified of a foreign case report that describes an event that is both serious and does not appear on the product’s labeling, the manufacturer is required to submit the report to VAERS.
Of the 14,531 deaths reported as of Sept. 16, 7% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination and 15% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination.
In the U.S., 600 million Covid-19 vaccine doses had been administered as of Sept. 14, including 363 million doses of Pfizer, 231 million doses of Moderna and 19 million doses of Johnson & Johnson (J&J).
Every Friday, VAERS publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
Historically, VAERS has been shown to report only 1% of actual vaccine adverse events.
VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to Sept. 16, 2022, for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds show:
3,843 adverse events, including 169 cases rated as serious and 6 reported deaths. 5 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation).
The CDC uses a narrowed case definition of “myocarditis,” which excludes cases of cardiac arrest, ischemic strokes and deaths due to heart problems that occur before one has the chance to go to the emergency department.
26 reports of blood clotting disorders. 43 reports of seizures.
VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to Sept. 16, 2022, for 5- to 11-year-olds show:
14,115 adverse events, including 665 rated as serious and 28 reported deaths. 45 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis. 67 reports of blood clotting disorders. 180 reports of seizures.
VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to Sept. 16, 2022, for 12- to 17-year-olds show:
39,472 adverse events, including 4,277 rated as serious and 120 reported deaths.
According to the CDC, “VAERS data available to the public include only the initial report data to VAERS. Updated data which contains data from medical records and corrections reported during follow up are used by the government for analysis. However, for numerous reasons including data consistency, these amended data are not available to the public.”
269 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds where the reaction was life-threatening, required treatment or resulted in death. 1,310 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis with 1,158 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine. 300 reports of blood clotting disorders with 277 cases attributed to Pfizer. 26 cases of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) with all cases attributed to Pfizer...
Canadian woman dies 7 minutes after booster shot, coroner rules ‘natural causes’ A Canadian woman on Sept. 14 died suddenly in a drug store within minutes of receiving the new bivalent Covid-19 booster shot, according to her daughter.
Carol Pearce texted her daughter, Stephanie Foster, at 12:31 p.m. to say she received her booster shot and was waiting the recommended 15 minutes at the drug store. At 12:38 p.m., Pearce was unconscious.
An eyewitness told SASKTODAY.ca she was in the store when she heard screaming and crying. “They were saying in the store that it was about seven minutes,” after Pearce got the booster shot that she collapsed on the floor, the witness said.
A spokesperson from Saskatchewan Health told SASKTODAY.ca on Thursday Pearce died from natural causes.
“The Saskatchewan coroner’s service has investigated this instance and determined that the person died from natural causes,” Dale Hunter, a communications consultant from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health said in an email.
“I do not believe this was caused from natural causes,” Foster said. “My Mom had no health conditions. I believe had she not gotten that Covid shot then she would be here with us today!”
The family said when Pearce left for her appointment, she was happy and healthy.
Woman’s brain inflammation caused by Moderna Covid vaccine, case study confirms A healthy 35-year-old woman who experienced a seizure two days after her second dose of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine was diagnosed with limbic encephalitis, a rare form of brain inflammation.
The authors of the report said the vaccine caused the woman’s condition.
According to the case report, when the woman arrived at the hospital she had a fever, followed by generalized tonic-clonic seizures that lasted for approximately five minutes and a postictal (post-seizure) phase of confusion that lasted approximately 30 minutes.
While in the ER, she had two more generalized seizures and was stable. Upon admission to the hospital, a lumbar puncture was performed revealing significant lymphocytosis.
She then developed anisocoria, a condition in which the pupil of one eye differs in size from the pupil of the other eye. An urgent CT scan of the head showed possible temporal lobe hypodensities (darker areas on the CT scan). A head MRI showed features suggestive of limbic encephalitis. A subsequent electroencephalogram showed severe post-seizure encephalitic changes.
While hospitalized, the patient developed abnormal behavior associated with limbic encephalitis and was diagnosed with autoimmune limbic encephalitis.
Researchers concluded the patient’s limbic encephalitis — which occurred quickly after Covid-19 vaccination — is an uncommon side effect of the vaccine based on the timing of symptoms and absence of other identifiable causes. Woman develops blood clots, hallucinations, mini-strokes after Pfizer shots In April 2021, Cathy Nagy’s 84-year-old mother-in-law received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
According to Nagy, “about a week-and-a-half later, Marilyn experienced an episode of hallucinations, seeing people outside who were not there.”
Nagy told The Defender:
“Marilyn’s family attributed [the episode] to her dementia, even though she had not had any prior episodes … [They] did not make a connection to the vaccination.”
But the family’s opinion changed a few weeks later, after Marilyn got her second Pfizer shot and “had a more dramatic reaction,” experiencing “another episode of hallucinations that same day, extreme weakness and pain in her leg,” Nagy said.
Marilyn seemed to recover, but over the coming weeks, she continued to experience occasional hallucinations, and an increased decline in her cognition, Nagy said, prompting a visit to a neurologist.
An MRI “revealed she was experiencing blood clots, bleeding and mini-strokes in her brain, and she was sent directly to the ER for observation and treatment,” Nagy said.
“I think it’s hard to overstate the evil of this vaccine program,” claims Diana West in an exclusive interview for RAIR Foundation USA. “We are governed by people of dark criminality.” West, a widely syndicated columnist, former CNN contributor, best-selling author, and Yale graduate, believes that the covid-19 vaccine campaign was just one cog in a giant wheel, accelerating us towards a total loss of our freedoms as we have known them to date. “I don’t think there’s been a time in history when there have been so many dark forces pressing in on our existence, even at a microscopic level. It has been a huge education for me. I’ve been forced to learn so much about biology. Now I’m trying to proselytize the fact that the vaccine is going to kill you. It’s one thing to have an enemy try to kill you; it’s another to have people standing next to you who won’t even notice it or raise the issue and ask if there’s a problem.”
While data has shown a huge leap in excess deaths across Europe in 2022, West refers to Edward Dowd, a BlackRock whistleblower who published an analysis on deaths in the U.S. for the latter part of 2021.
Dowd discovered that in the millennial cohort, those aged 25 to 45, there were 68,000 more deaths than expected. For the boomers, those over 65, that figure was 300,000. “This was a Vietnam War event for the millennial generation over those ten months,” says West. “And for the boomers, this was a WW11-sized event.”
West acknowledges that these deaths may not all be due to vaccination – it could be suicide, drug overdose, or bad medical care – but what we are seeing is death on a major scale, like a major war. “And people just won’t acknowledge it,” she says. “The thing that makes me despair is how hard it is to get our fellow men to question it. For the most part, in terms of political discourse and major media coverage in the public square, there’s silence. But I know a lot of people who have learned the hard way, meaning they were harmed by the shot.”
For those who question not only the experimental vaccines but the whole covid-19 story, West sees several lines of explanation. Some still see it as the story of a pandemic that originated in a lab in Wuhan, “but that’s not as important as what our governors were doing, our local authorities and public health, as far as destroying our lives. Wuhan wasn’t doing that; we were doing that from the inside,” notes West. Then there are those who don’t focus on covid but who nonetheless understand it as something extremely dangerous. “The bioweapon IS the shot. And the fact that it is still being promoted for our children is overwhelmingly dark.”
West also suggests that the whole covid play has been a ploy to destroy the nation-state. “It’s a way to eliminate independent thinkers, those who don’t want to take the shot, and they are therefore excluded from the military and law enforcement. It will ensure you have a compliant and vaxxed force.”
Scientists with La Quinta Columna, a Spanish research group, have been focusing on the presence of graphene in the vaccine concoctions. “They see the vaccination as a means to create circuitry in the body, as a way to hook up the body to the internet to be activated by 5G systems,” explains West. “There are all kinds of things in the vaccine toolbox to kill or control you.”
For a moment in our recent history, there was hope. According to West, when President Trump came into office, he intended to set up a vaccine safety commission headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the tireless vaccine skeptic. “His desire was to open up the American records at the N.I.H. on vaccine performance. But this freaked out the administration, the pharma people; Bill Gates got involved to put a kibosh on any such vaccine safety commission,” she says. “It would have been the lynchpin in defeating what I believe was a pandemic.”
This anecdote shows Trump’s willingness to go against the grain and the pharma establishment and do somet...
Canadian TV reporter Matthew Rodrigopulle was particularly proud that children in Saskatchewan are now being “vaccinated” from age five.
Fully vaccinated and boosted Canadian TV reporter Matthew Rodrigopulle died suddenly and unexpectedly at his home of a heart problem at the young age of 24. “Fact-checkers” and the establishment media are trying to deny that the experimental gene-therapy injections could be linked to his death.
It is undisputed that the 24-year-old presenter Matthew Rodrigopulle was “fully vaccinated” and “fully boosted.”
The editorial staff of the Canadian news channel “Global Regina” is proud that all of its employees have received the controversial injections. The young man also recommended vaccination and wearing masks through social media appearances.
Rodrigopulle was particularly proud that children in Saskatchewan are now being “vaccinated” from age five.
A fellow moderator stepped in front of the camera and burst into tears when she announced the death of her colleague. Public speculation began about the reporter’s mysterious, sudden, unexpected death on September 4th.
https://rumble.com/embed/v1icxg1/?pub=4
Dubious “fact checker,” Malaysian technology news and information website Techarp explains in 10 points why Rodrigopulle could not have possibly died from his numerous gene vaccinations. The pro-vaccine site, started by Adrian Wong, claims that Rodrigopulle died of “natural causes.” However, on the page linked as evidence, there is a statement that he died of a congenital heart defect. There is no evidence for such a preliminary diagnosis.
Furthermore, the “fact-checkers” declares that Covid “vaccine” side effects always occur immediately and that the spike protein is only in the body for a few days. However, this is not a fact that is in evidence anywhere; on the contrary, it is not known when the side effects of the various gene therapy shots are no longer dangerous.
Wong’s site, widely sourced by left-wing media, claims the deceased’s family would not have blamed the vaccination and that any connection to the injections can be ruled out. However, this so-called fact check is astonishingly irresponsible and dangerous and used by Covid vaccine advocates to spread disinformation.
The facts show: The young man was vaccinated and died unexpectedly of heart problems, just like hundreds of thousands of other young people worldwide. Some may be congenital defects; others may not. Only an autopsy could provide clarity, but this is usually refused and not often encouraged by medical professionals. As a result, scores of people suspected of dying due to the gene therapy injections are being cremated shortly after their death.

More and more Covid-19 vaccine injuries are starting to make their way into the medical journals. Several recent published case studies focus on skin diseases, and we are publishing a few of them here today as a service to the public, since the corporate media will seldom, if ever, cover this news. Comments by Brian Shilhavy; Editor, Health Impact News
Since there is already a plan in place to promote a monkeypox outbreak as one of the next big “pandemics” (see: Plandemic II Launched to Keep Pandemic Funds Flowing to Big Pharma: MonkeyPox), it is important to document these existing skin diseases that are already occurring following the mass Covid-19 vaccination campaigns.
It would not surprise me one bit if the criminal government “health” agencies such as the FDA and CDC started publishing photos like you see in these studies and label them all as some new variant of “monkeypox” which would cause fear and panic in the public, when in fact these skin conditions are more likely Covid-19 vaccine side effects. Five cases of new-onset pemphigus following vaccinations against coronavirus disease 2019 The Journal of Dermatology, August 2022 Abstract Pemphigus is a group of blistering disorders characterized by the formation of intraepithelial blisters in skin and mucous membranes induced by the binding of circulating autoantibodies to intercellular adhesion molecules. The pathogenesis is complex and not fully understood; however, genetic predisposition and various triggers are widely accepted as key factors in pemphigus development. A few cases of new-onset pemphigus following coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccination have already been published. The present paper reports a total of two cases of pemphigus foliaceous and three cases of pemphigus vulgaris that occurred following vaccinations against Covid-19, with anamnestic, clinical, and diagnostic data collection suggesting assumptions over a possible causal correlation.
Clinical pictures of our cases. Case 1: scattered superficial blisters and erythematous patches with scaly erosions involving the face and lower trunk (a–c). Case 2: diffuse erythematous-squamous patches with scaly and crusted erosions involving the face and the trunk, following a seborrheic distribution (d, e). Case 3: a few erosive lesions, diffuse scales, and crusted erosions involving the trunk (f, g). Case 4: painful erosions on the gums and soft palate (h). Case 5: erosive lesions on the oral cavity, nose, right cheek, and abdomen (i, j).

Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune blistering disorders associated with autoantibodies against the keratinocyte cell surface. Its exact cause is still unknown, but neoplasms, infections, medications, or vaccines are considered as possible triggering factors. Only one case of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) following vaccination with mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 has been reported. At the time of submission of the present report, this is the first case of Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) type triggered after inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
(A) Clinical examination on admission showing scales and crusts with erythematous bases and superficial blistering all over the trunk. (B) Large erosions of the neck after extension of the superficial detachment. (C) Histopathology of lesion showing subcorneal loss of adhesion with acantholytic cells.

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are a rare group of immunobullous disorders that can lead to high morbidity and mortality. Analogous to the other autoimmune diseases, pemphigus is closely related to the immune response, which is impacted by several factors including; polymor...
In September 22 of last year, Michel Goldman, a Belgian immunologist and one of Europe’s best-known champions of medical research, walked into a clinic near his house, rolled up his sleeve, and had a booster shot delivered to his arm. He knew he’d need it more than most. Just a few weeks earlier, Michel, 67, had been to see his younger brother, Serge, the head of nuclear medicine at the hospital of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, where both men are professors. Michel was having night sweats, and he could feel swollen lymph nodes in his neck, so his brother brought him in for a full-body CT scan. When the images came through to Serge’s computer they revealed a smattering of inky spots, bunched near Michel’s left armpit and running up along his neck. It was cancer of the immune system—lymphoma.
Given his own area of expertise, Michel understood this meant he’d soon be immunocompromised by chemotherapy. With another winter on the way—and perhaps another wave of SARS-CoV-2 infections—that meant he had just a narrow window of opportunity in which his body would respond in full to Covid vaccination.
Having received two doses of Pfizer the prior spring, Michel quickly went to get his third. If he was about to spend months absorbing poison as he tried to beat a deadly cancer, at least he’d have the most protection possible from the pandemic.
Within a few days, though, Michel was somehow feeling even worse. His night sweats got much more intense, and he found himself—quite out of character—taking afternoon naps. Most worryingly, his lymph nodes were even more swollen than before. He conferred with Serge again, and they set up another body scan for September 30, six days before Michel was scheduled to start his cancer treatment. Once again he sat in the radiology waiting room while his brother waited for the pictures to appear on his computer.
Serge’s bushy eyebrows furrowed when he spoke with Michel after having seen the scans. (“I will always remember his face, it was just incredible,” Michel told me.) The pictures showed a brand-new barrage of cancer lesions—so many spots that it looked like someone had set off fireworks inside Michel’s body. More than that, the lesions were now prominent on both sides of the body, with new clusters blooming in Michel’s right armpit in particular, and along the right side of his neck.
When Michel’s hematologist saw the scan, she told him to report directly to the nearest hospital pharmacy. He’d have to start on steroid pills right away, she told him. Such a swift progression for lymphoma in just three weeks was highly unusual, and he could not risk waiting a single day longer.
As he followed these instructions, Michel felt a gnawing worry that his Covid booster shot had somehow made him sicker. His brother was harboring a similar concern. The asymmetrical cluster of cancerous nodes around Michel’s left armpit on the initial scan had already seemed “a bit disturbing,” as his brother said; especially given that Michel’s first two doses of vaccine had been delivered on that side. Now he’d had a booster shot in the other arm, and the cancer’s asymmetry was flipped.
The brothers knew this might be just an eerie coincidence. But they couldn’t shake the feeling that Michel had experienced what would be a very rare yet life-threatening side effect of Covid vaccination. For a doctor who had spent four decades studying and advocating for new medicines, that feeling would unfold into many months of deliberation and self-doubt.
Michel used to run an institute for vaccine-technology research, and he’s spoken out to reassure the public about the safety of the Covid vaccines, and of the mRNA vaccines in particular. In December 2020, he told an interviewer that “if there was a real problem with the technology, we’d have seen it before now for sure.” His “main concern,” he continued, was that people would use the mere possibility of side effects “as an argument not to be vaccinated.”
The verdict is so obvious even the Washington Post noticed: despite a massive media and public relations campaign, American parents have overwhelmingly rejected Covid shots for their youngest children. Three months after federal regulators okayed mRNA vaccines for kids under 5, more than 98 percent of them have not been fully vaccinated. Put another way, out of any group of 50 children under 5, not even ONE is likely to have been fully vaccinated for Covid. And parents who started the process of vaccinating their children are having second thoughts. About 7 in 10 of of the 1.2 million children under 5 who received a first shot have not completed their vaccinations.
The rejection stretches across red and blue states. Even in Rhode Island and Hawaii, where over 90 percent of adults have received Covid shots, 97 percent of children are not vaccinated.
Nor are parents changing their minds with kids back in school and cooler weather approaching. Vaccine advocates had hoped that as summer ended and kids received routine well-child visits with pediatricians, mRNA uptake would increase.
Instead, only about 1 out of every 300 eligible kids received their first shot in the week ended Sept. 14.
It’s hard to overstate how extraordinary this rejection is.
Despite what hard-core vaccine fanatics claim, the United States does not have a crisis of vaccine denialism or rejection. Even as the schedule of recommended shots has lengthened, most American parents continue to vaccinate their children with standard vaccines on the schedule recommended by pediatricians (as my wife and I have).
More than 90 percent of children under 2 receive the polio, hepatitis, measles, and chickenpox vaccines, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Rates have actually risen over the last several years. Even the HPV vaccine, which is more controversial because it is designed against a virus that is generally transmitted sexually, is now taken by about two-thirds of all adolescents.
The mass parental refusal to give children mRNA has thus left vaccine fanatics like Dr. Peter Hotez confused.
“I thought maybe it was just the summer, and people were traveling,” Hotez told the Post in its Sep. 18 article. (Hotez, maybe the most hysterical of all vaccine fanatics, suggested in 2021 that “federal hate-crime protections” were needed to save him from people who disagreed with him about the mRNA shots.)
Vaccine advocates have now turned to the hoariest excuse of all: claiming that parents just don’t know the shots are available!
[A pediatrician] said he wishes there had been more robust promotion of vaccines by public health officials across platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok… That scant messaging stands in stark contrast to when the coronavirus vaccines first came to market in December 2020 for adults.
Huh.
Yeah, I guess places like the Post should have done more to promote the shots -
Okay, so the Post wrote one story:
Okay, so the Post wrote a few stories here and there.
What about directing the messaging where it would have mattered, at young kids and their parents:
In fact, the media campaign around the shots for kids was as relentless as every other aspect of vaccine advocacy since the mRNA shots began in December 2020. Like previous iterations, it included paid advertising, free public service announcements, and open advocacy masquerading as journalism (“Doctors say children should get vaccinated even if they were previously infected”).
At what point will vaccine advocates admit that the problem wasn’t failed messaging, but a failed product? Continue reading on alexberenson.substack.com
Anywhere between five and 50 percent of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 – the virus behind the still-very-much-ongoing worldwide pandemic – will go on to develop Long Covid. It’s a condition that so far has escaped hard study or explanation – though a few hypotheses have begun to take hold. Now, another piece of evidence has come to the fore, as a new study out of Canada has found that blood samples from symptomatic patients with long Covid can show signs of autoimmune disease up to a year after first developing symptoms.
“I’m a respiratory researcher with a background in studying the immune system,” explained Manali Mukherjee, an Assistant Professor in the Division of Respirology, at McMaster University’s Department of Medicine and lead researcher of the project in a statement. “When I experienced the symptoms of long Covid first-hand, I began to wonder about the role of the immune system in this condition.”
So Mukherjee and colleagues recruited more than 160 people to take part in a long-term study tracking the symptoms and antibodies of people recovering from a Covid infection. The majority – 106 in total – were people who had been diagnosed with Covid between August 2020 and September 2021, and the rest served as two control groups: one comprising 22 healthy volunteers, and the other being a group of 34 people who had experienced a non-Covid respiratory infection.
At three, six, and 12 months after recovery, patients were surveyed for symptoms of long Covid – shortness of breath, coughing, or fatigue – and gave blood samples. These were tested for specific antibodies known to contribute to autoimmune disease, as well as two autoantibodies – antibodies that target the body’s own cells, which have previously been linked to severe Covid infection and hospitalization. “For the majority the patients in our study, even if they had autoantibodies soon after their infection, this resolved after 12 months,” Mukherjee said. “However, in some patients, autoantibodies persist, and these patients are more likely to continue suffering with symptoms and to need medical help.” That ties in nicely with one of the prevailing theories behind the syndrome: that the initial infection sends the body’s immune response into overdrive, triggering it to attack not just the pathogen but healthy cells as well. That’s likely why long Covid shares so many traits with conditions like postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) or chronic fatigue syndrome – autoimmune diseases in which bodily functions like heart rate and blood pressure are sent into dysregulation by the body’s immune system.
Three months after infection, nearly four out of every five Covid patients had two or more of the problematic antibodies in their blood – a proportion that held fast at the six-month mark too. By a year, the ratio had dropped to a little over two out of every five patients. Meanwhile, both the healthy and non-Covid infected control groups showed few to none of the markers in their blood.
And almost one in three Covid patients were found to have autoantibodies in their blood, even up to a full year after infection, the study found – although the number of participants returning to the study at this point had dropped significantly, the researchers note, possibly due to recovery. These participants also showed higher levels of cytokines – the immune system’s messenger proteins, which can promote inflammation and potentially make Covid cases more severe.
These results are no doubt significant from a diagnostic perspective, but they likely have practical therapeutic applications as well.
“Millions of people around the world are suffering with long Covid and that is having an enormous socioeconomic impact. However, there is a lack of evidence on why some people develop the condition and how we can help patients recover,” said Eva Polverino, Head of the European Respiratory Society’s Respiratory Infections Assembly and pulmonologist at Vall ...
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 115 pages of records from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) revealing previously redacted locations of Covid-19 vaccine testing facilities in Shanghai, China. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had claimed the name and location of the testing facilities were protected by the confidential commercial information exemption of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The records were obtained through a September 2021 FOIA lawsuit filed after the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease failed to respond to a June 7, 2021, FOIA request for all biodistribution studies and data for the Covid-19 vaccines (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (No. 1:21-cv-02418)).
The newly unredacted documents reveal the following Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine studies’ locations:
A document with the filename, “ s_r_IND 19736 0 105 2.6.5 pharmkintabulated-summary” identifies all in vitro metabolic stability studies of ALC-0315 and ALC-0159 (synthetic lipids in the vaccines) were conducted at Medicilon Preclinical Research LLC, a testing facility located in Shanghai, China. Studies within this record indicate work was done in August 2020. A document with the filename, “s_r_IND 19736-0-253 Section 2.6.5 pharmkintabulated-summary” identifies that all in vitro metabolic stability studies of ALC-0315 and ALC-0159 were conducted at Medicilon Preclinical Research LLC, a testing facility located in Shanghai, China. Studies within this record indicate work was done in August 2020.
Additionally, Study 18350 was conducted at a Charles River testing facility in Tranent, UK
A document with the filename, “s_pharmkin-tabulated-summary.pdf” notes that all in vitro metabolic stability studies of ALC-0315 and ALC-0159 were conducted at Medicilon Preclinical Research LLC, a testing facility located in “Shanghai, China.” Studies within this record indicate work was done in August 2020.
The document adds that Study 18350 was conducted at a Charles River testing facility in Tranent, UK.
A document titled “FINAL REPORT” with the filename, “s_r_185350.pdf” and the logo, “Charles River” lists the TESTING FACILITY as “Charles River Laboratories Edinburgh Ltd.

“The Biden administration’s stonewalling and shell games about the Covid vaccines further undermine public confidence in these controversial drugs,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Americans are now going to want to know why did the Biden operation try to hide Covid vaccine ties to China!”
This is part of Judicial Watch’s ongoing investigation into the US Government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In July 2022, National Institutes of Health (NIH) records revealed an FBI “inquiry” into the NIH’s controversial bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The records also show National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) officials were concerned about “gain-of-function” research in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2016.
The Fauci agency was also concerned about EcoHealth Alliance’s lack of compliance with reporting rules and use of gain-of-function research in the NIH-funded research involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China. Previous disclosures from this lawsuit include:
HHS records revealed that from 2014 to 2019, $826,277 was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research by the NIAID. NIAID records showed that it gave nine China-related grants to EcoHealth Alliance to research coronavirus emergence in bats and was the NIH’s top issuer of grants to the Wuhan lab itself. The records also included an email from the vice director of the Wuhan Lab asking an NIH official for help finding dis...
Saturday Night Live alum Jim Breuer said he’s "100 percent not political" after being slammed for questioning what he called the Covid “puppet masters” when it comes to the vaccine. During the 55-year-old comedian’s recent appearance on “The Glenn Beck” podcast, the host asked Breuer about the “kind of price” he’s paid for being called political, according to The Blaze.
“What blows my mind is how many people say, ‘Oh, you’re political now,’” Breuer explained. “I ask them, what part is political? First, I’m talking about you trying to stick a needle in me. Is that political or did you get conned and brainwashed to think it’s political?”
Watch:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/TYYIJ52J8tg
“When is medicine political?” he added, noting how he’s been labeled a “conspiracy theorist” because he questioned the efficacy of the vaccine. “I’m not. I’m 100% not [political],” Breuer said.
“When Covid kicked in, I said, ‘You know what? All bets are off,’” Breuer continued. “I already knew I wasn’t in control. But now, not only am I not in control from the natural order of life, but now the puppet masters that are in control just let us all know, ‘You know, we’ll decide when you can do things and what you have to do to go back to your natural pleasures.’”
The stand-up comedian said it all made him realize there’s no longer “time to worry about what people think of me.”
“I know where I’m at in life,” Breuer shared. “I know where I’m at spiritually. I know where I’m at with my family. I know where I’m at in life.”
Beck replied that having such a realization has “tremendous power” and said it “spooks the hell out of people.”
“But it shouldn’t!” the comedian exclaimed. “I’m excited that other people get this … they’re stuck. We ain’t got time for stuck. To me, this is the time of, ‘You gotta rise.’ For years and years and years, you allow fear to control your life. Fear of dying. Fear of I might get sick … everything’s based out of fear. It’s time for the fearless. It’s time for the fearless.” Continue reading on www.dailywire.com
Independent investigations have revealed that some lots of Covid-19 shots are associated with very severe side effects and death, whereas other lots have very few or no adverse events associated with their use. The reason, it turns out, is because the vials are all different — and the mRNA in the shots “is not intact.” Both of these pose potentially serious problems. In an August 31, 2022, Substack article, Steve Kirsch explains:
“Even if you are getting 100% intact mRNA which would be really rare, you’re still not getting anything that resembles the virus. So the efficacy as far as PROTECTING you will be next to nothing.
However, what it will do very effectively, if you got reasonably intact mRNA, is to cause you significant harm. You are playing a game of chance with your immune system and what is in the bottle.”
The video notes that members of the European Parliament were only allowed to read the contracts with the drug makers after they’d been heavily redacted. Why the heavy-handed secrecy, even toward legislators? Leaked Documents Reveal Serious Quality Issues The finding that the mRNA in the shots was of questionable quality was revealed in a BMJ feature investigation article published in March 2021. As explained by the author, journalist Serena Tinari, cyber attackers retrieved more than 40 megabytes of Pfizer Covid jab data from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in December 2020.
The hacked data was subsequently sent to journalists and academics worldwide. It was also published on the dark web. Some of the documents show European regulators had significant concerns over the lack of intact mRNA in the commercial batches sampled.
Compared to the clinical batches, i.e., the shots used in the clinical trial, 55% to 78% of the commercial shots had “a significant difference in % RNA integrity/truncated species.”
In one email, dated November 23, 2020, a high-ranking EMA official noted that the commercial batches failed to meet expected specifications, and that the implications of this RNA integrity loss were unclear. In response to the findings, the EMA sent a list of questions and concerns to Pfizer.
While we do not know if and how the EMA’s concerns were actually addressed and corrected, the EMA authorized Pfizer’s Covid jab December 21, 2020. According to its public assessment report, “the quality of this medicinal product, submitted in the emergency context of the current (Covid-19) pandemic, is considered to be sufficiently consistent and acceptable.”
Similarly, Health Canada told The BMJ that “changes were made in their processes to ensure that the integrity was improved and brought in line with what was seen for clinical trial batches.” The EMA further tried to deflect concern by claiming some of the leaked documents had been doctored. As reported by The BMJ: “EMA says the leaked information was partially doctored, explaining in a statement that ‘whilst individual emails are authentic, data from different users were selected and aggregated, screenshots from multiple folders and mailboxes have been created, and additional titles were added by the perpetrators.’” Intact mRNA Is Essential to Its Effectiveness Curiously, when The BMJ asked Pfizer, Moderna, CureVac and several regulators to specify the percentage of mRNA integrity considered acceptable, none replied with specifics.
Even a minor degradation reaction, anywhere along a mRNA strand, can severely slow or stop proper translation performance of that strand and thus result in the incomplete expression of the target antigen. —Daan J.A. Crommelin, Professor of Biopharmaceutics
According to the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, the FDA and Health Canada, the specification limit on RNA integrity is “commercially confidential.” What we do know — and the EMA has acknowledged — is that intact mRNA is essential for efficacy. As noted by The BMJ:
“… the documents offer the broader medical community a cha...
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is now funding studies on how to best manipulate people to receive “future” Covid-19 vaccines – including “targeted” messaging and financial compensation – despite studies continuing to show links between the vaccine and myocarditis. Researchers supported by the Gates Foundation published a study aimed at curbing vaccine hesitancy titled “Overcoming Vaccine Hesitancy for Future Covid-19 and HIV Vaccines: Lessons from Measles and HPV Vaccines.”
Released on August 11th, researchers carried out a “narrative review of studies on interventions to address measles and human papillomavirus vaccine hesitancy” to cross-apply the lessons learned towards future vaccines.
Researchers explicitly reference making people more likely to receive “future” Covid-19 vaccines as their primary goal, concluding that “the most successful interventions directly targeted the population for vaccination.”
Gates-backed Study.
“Use of financial incentives could be a potential tool to improve vaccine uptake,” continues the paper, which drew its analysis from a review of over 150 scientific articles.
“Message framing is a powerful tool for vaccine promotion; however, messages should be carefully framed and should be targeted to the population of interest. Financial incentives, free-of-charge vaccines, and use of vaccine champions should be considered in future vaccine promotions as they were successful in increasing both measles and HPV vaccine coverage rates,” concludes the study, which also advocates implementing vaccine programs in “schools, universities, or healthcare settings to target adolescents and/or adults.”
The study comes amidst a roll-out of advertisements focusing on myocarditis in children, which studies have repeatedly demonstrated to be a side effect of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The New York Presbyterian Hospital, for example, uploaded a video advertisement to its Youtube channel titled “Pediatric Patient Story – Suri (30s version)” on September 6th.
”Suri had a bad stomach ache that turned out to be myocarditis, a serious inflammation of the heart. Our multidisciplinary pediatric critical care team worked to regulate her heartbeat – and got her back to feeling like herself,” explains the video’s caption.
The advertisement follows an American Heart Association report acknowledging that the “risks in younger people and after sequential vaccine doses are less certain” concerning myocarditis.
The link is especially pronounced in young men, as the study found: “In men younger than 40 years old, the number of excess myocarditis events per million people was higher after a second dose of mRNA-1273 than after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test (97 [95% CI, 91–99] versus 16 [95% CI, 12–18]).” “In women younger than 40 years, the number of excess events per million was similar after a second dose of mRNA-1273 and a positive test (7 [95% CI, 1–9] versus 8 [95% CI, 6–8],” added the paper.
In addition to the potential drawbacks of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine, other studies have demonstrated that the product doesn’t confer immunity as well natural antibodies or as promised by the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing the vaccines. Continue reading on thenationalpulse.com
A Hong Kong video showing schoolchildren wearing double masks while performing the flute has drawn ridicule on social media. The ad, released by Hong Kong's Education Bureau, was posted ahead of China's National Day on 1 October. It also comes after Hong Kong earlier announced a further extension in Covid restrictions, including masking. It is one of the few remaining cities that have retained strict Covid measures since the pandemic struck.
The video, titled "Young China Says", which is centered around Hong Kong's youth, shows various schoolchildren performing a variety of artistic activities, including singing, calligraphy, martial arts and musical performances.
More than 400 schoolchildren from 41 high schools were invited to participate in the more than 5-minute-long video.
The clip was released by Hong Kong's Education Bureau on 21 September, in commemoration of China's national day on 1 October.
At the 45-second mark, the video shows two masked schoolgirls playing the flute side-by-side with what appears to be a secondary flap covering the musical instrument.
Users took to social media to pour ridicule on the ad. "This city never fails to surprise me," tweeted South China Morning Post correspondent Jeffie Lam, adding the hashtag #maskingtilltheendoftheworld. Another comment on Facebook said: "This is going to lead to so many jokes".
"This is the extent to which Hong Kong is scared of Covid," a Twitter user said.
The release of the video came as Hong Kong announced earlier this week that Covid restrictions would be in place until at least 5 October, including social distancing, and wearing masks in vehicles and specified public places.
Hong Kong has followed China's cue closely where Covid regulations are concerned - a move analysts say has battered the economy and caused Hong Kong's attractiveness as a business hub to wane.
Hong Kong also remains one of the few places in the world to still require travellers from abroad to quarantine on arrival, though officials are expected to make a highly-anticipated announcement on Friday easing the regulation.
China has adopted a strict zero-Covid policy since the pandemic struck, which has seen rolling lockdowns, tightly-restricted movement within the country, and mass Covid testing being implemented, often at snap notice. Continue reading on www.bbc.com
Immunologist Chris Goodnow had to step away from directing the Immunogenomics Lab at Australia’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research, because of post-Covid effects. The extremely fit Australian scientist, who hiked, biked and surfed at Sydney’s Manly Beach, had been bolstered by four doses of vaccine. Having spent nearly four decades studying how white blood cells in the immune system protect us from infection, he felt pretty safe about removing his mask.
“Maybe it would be better to catch the ’rona and get it over with, now that I’m fully vaccinated?” he remembers speculating.
“After all, isn’t it just a cold in fully immunized people? And once I’ve had it, won’t I have acquired immunity that will mean I won’t get sick at all if I get it again?”
But Omicron made a mockery of these popular assumptions.
On May 26, Goodnow came down with a scratchy throat. Twelve days later his immune system had not cleared the virus. Then he got hit by congestive heart failure. He developed a chest cough and was breathless. His ankles swelled up.
Goodnow was lucky. His acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) was on the mild end of the spectrum but severe enough to reduce his mobility and working life.
As a consequence of the infection, last July Goodnow resigned his directorship of the Immunogenomics Lab at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia, “for health reasons.”
In a remarkably blunt interview with an Australian radio station, and later a personal column, Goodnow admitted that Covid had not behaved as widely expected. “That is the thing that really stunned me and I’m sure has stunned most immunologists,” he said in the radio interview. Like many scientists Goodnow assumed that any infection after vaccination would be mild; that reinfections would largely be asymptomatic; that Covid would behave like a cold after vaccination; and that variant-specific vaccines would deliver us from the pandemic. But Goodnow now considers these assumptions wrong and has set about debunking myths that “many of us, myself included, have entertained more than we should have,” he writes. He now joins a growing cadre of scientific experts sounding new alarms about Covid, the “so many others” he says, who “are working hard to stop endless waves of reinfection.” Not a cold or flu The first myth that Goodnow wants debunked is probably the most common, that Covid is just a cold.
But colds don’t behave the way Covid does in the body.
Colds, for example, don’t leave 2.3 per cent of athletes with inflamed hearts after infection, as tests found at 10 U.S. universities.
Nor do colds worsen outcomes with each subsequent infection, as Goodnow and others worry may be the case with Covid. He points with concern to a study, yet to be peer reviewed, from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, led by Ziyad Al-Aly at the Washington University School of Medicine.
Al-Aly and two other researchers looked at the health records of 250,000 veterans who had been infected once with Covid; 36,000 who had been infected twice, and 2,000 who had been infected three times.
Using a “hazard ratio” — a measure of how often bad things happen to one group compared to another — the researchers found that the risk of heart, brain, kidney and blood complications all increased with each subsequent infection.
As Goodnow has noted about the findings, “The risk of cardiovascular disease, for example, increased after one infection, but doubled in people who had two infections, and tripled in those who had been infected thrice.”
Similar risks were found for heart disease, blood clotting problems, brain decline and diabetes. Nor did vaccines seem to help in preventing these problems, which most frequently occur up to six months after infection. “Every time you dip your bucket in that Covid well, you’ve got the same chance of a whole lot of bad things happening,” explained Goodnow,
A federal district court in Louisiana ruled Thursday that the government cannot require teachers and staff within the Head Start early education program to be vaccinated against Covid-19. Judge Terry A. Doughty also ruled that adults and students cannot be required to wear masks — a win for the Liberty Justice Center and the Pelican Institute for Public Policy which filed the lawsuit in 2021 on behalf of local teacher Sandy Brick. "The public interest is served by maintaining the constitutional structure and maintaining the liberty of individuals who do not want to take the Covid-19 vaccine," the judge wrote. "This interest outweighs Agency Defendants' interests. The public has a liberty interest in not being required to take a vaccine or be fired from their jobs. "Although vaccines arguably serve the public interest, the liberty interests of individuals mandated to take the Covid-19 vaccine outweigh any interest generated by the mandatory administration of vaccines," he added.
Doughty had previously granted a temporary stay blocking the vaccine and mask mandates in January. At the time, 24 state attorneys general had joined the suit.
The ruling revolved around the government's Head Start Services, a program launched in 1965 to provide supplemental education for children under six in low-income families.
"Although President Biden recently declared that the 'pandemic is over,' the fight to restore Americans' individual liberties is not," Liberty Justice Center lawyer Daniel Suhr said in a press release. "We will continue to fight for teachers like Sandy and the low-income students they serve until every illegal and unjustified mandate is wiped from the books."
Now, the federal government will decide whether to appeal the ruling to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the same body that struck down the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for private businesses earlier this year. Continue reading on www.newsmax.com
Dr. Daniel Nagase has been using a scanning electron microscope to analyze both Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines that were exposed to room temperature for weeks or months, and has found odd objects that according to several doctors who talked to The Epoch Times, should not be in the vials—even after degradation. Nagase took photos of crystals, spheres, fibers, and most strikingly: “rectangles and inverted pyramids.”
One of the images shows a “hexagonal crystalline structure, on top of which there is a 4-sided rectangular structure with regularly spaced dots in the form of a grid.” “4-sided structures on top of 6-sided structures do not occur naturally,” Nagase told The Epoch Times, “neither do grid markings.” A molecular biologist/virologist who reviewed Nagase’s findings told The Epoch Times under the condition of anonymity that the results of the scanning electron microscopy “revealed unexpected content.”
“Most notable is a distinct rectangular shape consisting primarily of carbon and oxygen,” the scientist told The Epoch Times.

“This shape is inconsistent with known morphological characteristics of vaccine components and biological matter. Further investigation of vaccine composition is pertinent and independent verification in controlled conditions is urgently needed.” No Nitrogen, No Phosphorous in First Batch Nagase’s main concern is that they are composed of “just carbon and oxygen.”
He maintains that biologics such as RNA would show signs of nitrogen and phosphorous, but his first batch (from March) of microscopic scans of Pfizer and Moderna vials did not show either of these elements on his machine.
The August batch did detect phosphorous, “indicating there is either DNA or RNA in the sample.”
The scanning electron microscope he uses is able to—and has detected—nitrogen in other different scans which he showed to The Epoch Times.
He did not want to reveal the brand of the apparatus because “that might identify the machine.”
Nagase is an ER Doctor from Canada who has been practicing since 2008. He studied Physiology and Cell Biology at McGill University and also went to Dalhousie University Medical School.
The type of microscope Nagase is using is able to shoot an electron beam through electromagnetic fields and lenses and concentrates the beam toward the object that is being analyzed, then the beam bounces outward with electrons and X-rays, and shows what chemical elements the object was composed of.
He has done two series of analyses on the mRNA vaccines. The last one was done around four months ago, and the new one was done in August. He has sent The Epoch Times a new image (the inverted pyramid from the featured image of this article) from his recent analysis, and is currently in the process of going through many gigabytes of data from the new batch of scans.
Nagase said that he got both batches from “different cities” in Western Canada.
The new images are “very similar” to the first analysis, he asserts.
Nagase told The Epoch Times that he found “Carbon/Oxygen structures in the shapes of crystals, spheres, fibers, rectangles, and inverted pyramids” in his first analysis.
Nagase “didn’t see any carbon spheres or fibers,” on the second analysis.
SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) image from Pfizer vial, August batch. (Courtesy of Dr. Daniel Nagase)
The Pfizer vials he got for the March analysis were kept at room temperature for around 2 months, and the Moderna vials for about 1 month, he says.
The vials for the August analysis were kept at room temperature for about two weeks. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
New York City will drop its coronavirus vaccine mandate for private employers, Mayor Eric Adams (D) announced, describing the change as “additional flexibility.” “This puts the choice in the hands of New York businesses and it’s imperative that we’re asking them to continue to encourage their employees to get their vaccines and booster shots,” he said Tuesday.
The mandate, which will end Nov. 1, had previously required all employees “who perform in-person work or interact with the public” to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. The policy faced opposition from vocal critics, including Brooklyn Nets star player Kyrie Irving.
In March, Adams amended the mandate, creating an exemption for unvaccinated performers and professional athletes so they could perform and play in public.
The city now encourages private business to “put in place their own vaccine policies.” Adams made the announcement alongside the promotion of a citywide campaign to promote booster shots.
New coronavirus booster shots are available across the country. They have been geared toward the omicron variant of the coronavirus, as experts warn that this fall and winter could bring yet another surge in cases.
“The new bivalent booster is here, providing better protection against variants we are seeing now and quite likely against variants in the future as well,” Adams said.
“With so many tools now more easily accessible to keep New Yorkers safe” from covid-19, he said, the city would also end a mandate for students involved in extracurricular activities to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
But ending the vaccine mandate for city employees was “not on the radar for us,” Adams said in comments to reporters. Irving reacted to the news on Tuesday, tweeting that “If I can work and be unvaccinated, then all of my brothers and sisters who are also unvaccinated should be able to do the same, without being discriminated against, vilified, or fired.” He said that “this enforced Vaccine/Pandemic” was “one the biggest violations of HUMAN RIGHTS in history.” The changes are the latest loosening of covid-19 restrictions as major cities and Democratic-run states — some of the last bastions of pandemic-related policies — have dropped vaccine and mask rules over the past year. This month, New York State ended its mask requirement on public transit, though many passengers on the New York City subway had not abided by the rule for months. The D.C. Metro dropped its mask requirement in April.
Adams’s announcement also comes amid discussion this week about when exactly the pandemic will be “over.” President Biden, in an interview that aired Sunday on “60 Minutes,” said that “the pandemic is over,” though he noted that “we still have a problem with Covid.” Biden’s comments prompted sharp criticism from some, who noted that there are still hundreds of deaths from covid-19 in the United States each day, but the remarks were welcomed by Republicans, many of whom have for months been pushing for pandemic-related restrictions and policies to end. “Without a clear plan to wind down pandemic-era policies, the deficit will continue to balloon and the effectiveness of public health measures will wane as the American people continue to be confused by mixed messages and distrust of federal officials,” Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the top Republican on the Senate’s health panel, wrote in a Monday letter sent to Biden and shared with The Post.
When asked by a reporter about Biden’s comments, Adams said that “the most scary parts of the pandemic may be in our rear view mirror.”
But, he added, “there’s a possibility of another variant and we have to move in a very strategic and smart way. And so [Biden] may feel that this phase of what we have gone through, we’ve seen the worst of it, but we just don’t know what’s on the horizon for Covid.”
As of Wednesday, nearly 400 Americans are dying each day of covid-19, based on a weekly average according to a Washi...
Brain fog isn’t like a hangover, depression, or ADHD. It’s a disorder of executive function that makes basic cognitive tasks absurdly hard. On March 25, 2020, Hannah Davis was texting with two friends when she realized that she couldn’t understand one of their messages. In hindsight, that was the first sign that she had Covid-19. It was also her first experience with the phenomenon known as “brain fog,” and the moment when her old life contracted into her current one.
She once worked in artificial intelligence and analyzed complex systems without hesitation, but now “runs into a mental wall” when faced with tasks as simple as filling out forms. Her memory, once vivid, feels frayed and fleeting. Former mundanities—buying food, making meals, cleaning up—can be agonizingly difficult.
Her inner world—what she calls “the extras of thinking, like daydreaming, making plans, imagining”—is gone. The fog “is so encompassing,” she told me, “it affects every area of my life.” For more than 900 days, while other long-Covid symptoms have waxed and waned, her brain fog has never really lifted.
Of long Covid’s many possible symptoms, brain fog “is by far one of the most disabling and destructive,” Emma Ladds, a primary-care specialist from the University of Oxford, told me. It’s also among the most misunderstood. It wasn’t even included in the list of possible Covid symptoms when the coronavirus pandemic first began.
But 20 to 30 percent of patients report brain fog three months after their initial infection, as do 65 to 85 percent of the long-haulers who stay sick for much longer. It can afflict people who were never ill enough to need a ventilator—or any hospital care. And it can affect young people in the prime of their mental lives. Long-haulers with brain fog say that it’s like none of the things that people - including many medical professionals - jeeringly compare it to. It is more profound than the clouded thinking that accompanies hangovers, stress, or fatigue. It is not ADHD, which Davis was once diagnosed with. It is not psychosomatic, and involves real changes to the structure and chemistry of the brain. It is not a mood disorder: “If anyone is saying that this is due to depression and anxiety, they have no basis for that, and data suggest it might be the other direction,” Joanna Hellmuth, a neurologist at UC San Francisco, told me.
And despite its nebulous name, brain fog is not an umbrella term for every possible mental problem. At its core, Hellmuth said, it is almost always a disorder of “executive function”—the set of mental abilities that includes focusing attention, holding information in mind, and blocking out distractions.
These skills are so foundational that when they crumble, much of a person’s cognitive edifice collapses. Anything involving concentration, multitasking, and planning—that is, almost everything important—becomes absurdly arduous. “It raises what are unconscious processes for healthy people to the level of conscious decision making,” Fiona Robertson, a writer based in Aberdeen, Scotland, told me.
For example, Robertson’s brain often loses focus mid-sentence, leading to what she jokingly calls “so-yeah syndrome”:
“I forget what I’m saying, tail off, and go, ‘So, yeah …’” she said. Brain fog stopped Kristen Tjaden from driving, because she’d forget her destination en route. For more than a year, she couldn’t read, either, because making sense of a series of words had become too difficult.
Angela Meriquez Vázquez told me it once took her two hours to schedule a meeting over email: She’d check her calendar, but the information would slip in the second it took to bring up her inbox. At her worst, she couldn’t unload a dishwasher, because identifying an object, remembering where it should go, and putting it there was too complicated.
Memory suffers, too, but in a different way from degenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s. The memories are there,
The Louisiana Department of Health on Tuesday rescinded its Covid-19 vaccine mandate for the state’s schoolchildren, prompting Attorney General Jeff Landry to file a motion to dismiss his lawsuit against Gov. John Bel Edwards. By Robert W. Malone M.D., M.S.
This year, parents and guardians stood together in opposition to the Covid-19 vaccine mandate for children attending Louisiana schools.
As a result of their coming together, the Louisiana Department of Health rescinded the mandate — the mandate was repealed on Tuesday.
In light of this victory for parents and their children, Attorney General Jeff Landry filed a motion to dismiss his lawsuit against Gov. John Bel Edwards (Crews v. Edwards), wherein he sought to have the vaccine mandate enjoined.
In a statement, Landry said: “Today is the culmination of hard work by so many concerned parents throughout Louisiana. This is the direct result of moms, dads, grandparents and guardians fighting for what is right. I thank Rep. Raymond Crews, Health Freedom Louisiana, the Bayou Mama Bears, Town Hall Baton Rouge, Children’s Health Defense, and all those from across Louisiana that stood with us for parental choice.
“Child medical decisions should be made by their guardians, not the government. I hope this health freedom victory reminds everyone what can happen when we all work together. When citizens are engaged and get involved, their government will listen.” Some history behind this historic event In December 2021, I went down to Baton Rouge, Louisiana with the Children’s Health Defense team on short notice to help Health Freedom Louisiana, the physician and nurses’ advocacy group Louisiana for Medical Freedom, Rep. Kathy Edmonston and Landry by supporting testimony opposing the health department’s move to mandate the unlicensed and still experimental Pfizer vaccine be taken by Louisiana school children.
Then last April, Health Freedom Louisiana wrote about their continuing fight to stop the mandates, with a plea for everyone to reach out to state legislators.
I went back down to Baton Rouge in early May to testify in front of a senate committee hearing about vaccine mandates for children, in support of HCR 3, a bill to stop the governor’s mandated Covid-19 vaccination for the state’s schools.
At that time, the bill did pass.
But Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards continued pushing the mandates through the Louisiana Department of Health … until finally, he stopped.
I think we can all take this as a win. Continue reading on childrenshealthdefense.org
Denmark has banned the use of Covid-19 vaccines for people under 50 years of age, explaining that the ban is because widespread immunity and low risk from Covid mean the benefits from vaccination are too low. People aged under 50 are generally not at particularly higher risk of becoming severely ill from Covid-19. In addition, younger people aged under 50 are well protected against becoming severely ill from Covid-19, as a very large number of them have already been vaccinated and have previously been infected with Covid-19, and there is consequently good immunity among this part of the population.
Therefore, the general public under the age of 50 cannot get the vaccines, only those considered in high-risk groups or those who work with people in high-risk groups. Apart from that, they are banned.
Minimal benefit is of course a good enough reason for not recommending vaccination. But it is not reason enough to ban it. No product is banned simply because it isn’t useful. Products are banned only because they’re considered harmful. As several studies have already shown, the risk of serious adverse effects from the Covid-19 vaccines is higher than their benefits for younger people. This is of course the most probable reason Denmark has banned them. But the question remains, why do health officials not simply say so? Indeed, in their advice they state the vaccines are “very safe” and the only severe side-effects they mention are rare allergic reactions. All vaccines cause side effects, including the Covid-19 vaccines. In general, the side-effects are mild and transient, and we consider the vaccines to be very safe and highly documented…
In rare cases, severe immediate allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) may occur, which may be caused by, for example, allergy to the additives in the vaccine. If you have previously had a severe allergic reaction immediately after being vaccinated or after being injected with a medicinal product, you should contact your doctor before being vaccinated against Covid-19. If you have a known allergy to macrogols/PEG/polyethylene glycol, you should not be vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines.
Heroin is banned because it is highly addictive and damages your health. Drunk driving is banned because it causes accidents. And nobody hesitates to explain the reasons why a substance like heroin or behavior like drunk driving are banned.
“They don’t want to pay for something they don’t consider necessary,” someone might say. But this is not a valid reason. They could simply let those who really want the vaccines pay for them by themselves. But they don’t.
So, why do the Danish health authorities not simply explain in a straightforward manner why most younger people are not only recommended not to have the vaccines, but forbidden to do so?
Why do they hide the truth?
What are they so afraid of? Continue reading on dailysceptic.org
Two adults were each given a full vial of the undiluted Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine at a clinic in Hougang, with one needing hospitalization after experiencing headache and increased heart rate, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Tuesday (Sep 20). Responding to CNA’s queries, the ministry said that it was alerted to the incident on Monday, which took place at a clinic under the ProHealth Medical Group on Sep 15. “One was hospitalized after experiencing headache and increased heart rate and has since been discharged. The other patient did not report any adverse reaction,” said MOH. MOH said that it takes a serious view of this incident and is carrying out a thorough investigation.
“The clinic and doctor who administered the vaccine have been suspended from the National Vaccination Programme until further notice,” the ministry added.
Speaking to Channel 8 news, Mr Lim Tau Chiew, 57, said he had experienced headache and increased heart rate. "I felt the side of my body cramping up, even to the point I felt my pulse quickening and my heart beat was increasing," said Mr Lim.
"I called my daughter for help and we waited for the ambulance to send me to the hospital." CNA has contacted the clinic for more information.
In a separate incident last year, MOH said it was conducting a "thorough investigation" after a 103-year-old woman was erroneously given a fourth dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
The woman was admitted to Changi General Hospital for pneumonia and hyponatremia, and was subsequently also diagnosed to have suffered a stroke. She died the following month. Continue reading on www.channelnewsasia.com
A new Covid strain started to create waves among virus trackers this week, outpacing nearly all other variants of interest scientists are tracking in the U.S. this autumn. The variant, which scientists have named BF.7—short for BA.5.2.1.7—comprised 1.7% of sequenced infections last week in the U.S., according to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Other variants jockeying for the top spot right now—held by BA.5, at 85%—include BA.4.6, which comprised 10.3% of infections, and BA.2.75, which comprised 1.3%.
Scientists are taking notice of BF.7 because it’s making headway in an increasingly crowded field of Omicron subvariants. For months they’ve watched BA.2.75—dubbed “Centaurus” by the Twitterverse—as a variant of interest with potential to surge this fall. But this week, BF.7 surpassed it. Potentially more transmissible than BA.5 BF.7 is only beginning to grow off in the U.S., but it’s already taken off in other countries.
So far Belgium has seen the lion’s share of BF.7 cases identified globally: 25%. Denmark, Germany, and France have each seen 10% of the world’s identified cases so far, according to cov-lineages.org, a Covid data repository updated daily by contributors from universities in England, Scotland, and Australia, among others.
The new subvariant was first reported by the CDC as part of cases of BA.5, which rose to prominence this summer. But the CDC recently broke it out into its own category when cases topped 1%, Dr. Stuart Ray, vice chair of medicine for data integrity and analytics at Johns Hopkins’ Department of Medicine, told Fortune. “The same growth advantage in multiple countries makes it reasonable to think that BF.7 is gaining a foothold,” and that it’s potentially more transmissible than parent BA.5, Ray said. Children of variants “don’t grow relative to their parent unless they have an advantage.” While nothing is known about the severity of disease BF.7 might cause, so far all Omicron subvariants have had similar severity, he added.
The new subvariant has a change in the spike protein—a feature that allows it to enter cells—seen in other Omicron strains making headway. It also has a change in the nucleotide sequence—sometimes referred to as the blueprint of an organism—that could cause it to behave differently than other subvariants. But the extent to which it will diverge, if it does at all, is currently unknown, Ray said.
Covid is continually evolving to become more immune evasive, according to Ray, and Omicron is spawning exponentially. He added he wouldn’t be surprised to see a new variant altogether this fall.
“It’s been awhile since we went from Alpha to Beta to Gamma to Delta, then to Omicron,” he said. “We may be complacent. This may be feeding into the notion that this is behind us.”
The tangle of Omicron spawns—with or without a new parent variant—could make for a rough fall and winter, Ray said.
His advice? Continue to mask and get your booster. And remember that the pandemic isn’t over.
“There are people who predicted Covid would be over by Easter of last year,” he said. Continue reading on fortune.com
The Biden administration must turn over emails that press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci and other top officials sent to social media companies in response to a lawsuit claiming the White House colluded with Big Tech to censor viewpoints it disagreed with as “misinformation,” a federal judge in Louisiana has ruled. US District Judge Terry Doughty’s Tuesday order was the latest development in a lawsuit filed in May by Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana, who charged the executive branch acted in cahoots with social media giants like Facebook and Twitter to “censor freedom of speech” on a number of topics, including the Covid-19 pandemic and elections.
“This Court believes Plaintiffs are entitled to external communications by Jean-Pierre and Dr. Fauci in their capacities as White House Press Secretary and Chief Medical Advisor to the President to third-party social media platforms,” Doughty, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, wrote in his 10-page order.
“The White House has waived its claim of privilege in relation to specific documents that it voluntarily revealed to third parties outside the White House,” the judge continued before ordering the documents to be turned over within 21 days.
Schmitt and Landry, both Republicans, have been involved in weeks of back-and-forth with the White House over which documents to release and whether executive privilege protects the communications from being made public. “Up until this point, the Department of Justice has refused to cooperate with our requests for discovery from top officials in the Biden Administration under the guise of ‘executive privilege,'” Schmitt said in a Tuesday statement. “The American people deserve answers on how the federal government has colluded with social media companies to censor free speech on these major platforms.” Jean-Pierre, at Wednesday’s White House news briefing, said she was unable to talk about ongoing litigation but insisted the administration was acting in the public’s best interest.
“As we said over and over again since the beginning of the administration in our battle against Covid-19, it has been critical for the American people to have access to factual, accurate, science-based information,” she told reporters.
“And ensuring that any media platforms have access to the latest information on a once-in-a-generation pandemic is something that has been done since the earliest days of the pandemic, beginning under the former president,” she continued.
The state AGs said in court documents filed Aug. 31 that some agencies have complied with discovery so far.
That information, they said, “provides a tantalizing snapshot into a massive, sprawling federal ‘Censorship Enterprise,’ which includes dozens of federal officials across at least eleven federal agencies and components identified so far, who communicate with social-media platforms about misinformation, disinformation, and the suppression of private speech on social media.”
They said the intent of those communications was to pressure “social-media platforms to censor and suppress private speech that federal officials disfavor.” “Under the First Amendment, the federal Government should have no role in policing private speech or picking winners and losers in the marketplace of ideas. But that is what federal officials are doing, on a massive scale — a scale whose full scope and impact is yet to be determined,” the two wrote in their motion of expedited discovery, which Doughty granted Tuesday. The documents Schmitt and Landry used to highlight the scope of the speech-suppressing undertaking included an email sent from a top Facebook executive to Surgeon General Vivek Murthy in July 2021.
“I know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward,” the Facebook official said.
Days later,
A mask that can detect coronavirus in just 10 minutes has been developed by scientists. The highly sensitive face covering can detect the novel bug in the air and alert the wearer via an app on their phone. It can also pick up swine flu and bird flu.
Those diseases spread through droplets in the air released by infected people when they talk, cough or sneeze.
The tiny, invisible molecules can remain suspended in the air for a long time and people catch the illnesses by breathing in a big cluster of the molecules.
Researchers in China tested the mask in an enclosed chamber by spraying liquid containing virus proteins on to the face covering. The sensor responded to just 0.3 microliters of the liquid.
That is between 70 and 560 times less than the amount of liquid produced by one sneeze and even less than the amount created by coughing or talking.
The sensor contains aptamers, a type of synthetic molecule that can identify proteins in pathogens. The research model was tested with aptamers that can recognize Covid, swine flu and bird flu.
Once the aptamers bound to the virus proteins in the air, an ion-gated transistor alerted wearers to the pathogens via their phones.
Dr Yin Fang, study corresponding author, of Shanghai Tongji University, said: "Previous research has shown face-mask wearing can reduce the risk of spreading and contracting the disease. "We wanted to create a mask that can detect the presence of virus in the air and alert the wearer. Our mask would work really well in spaces with poor ventilation, such as lifts or enclosed rooms, where the risk of getting infected is high.
"In the future, if a new respiratory virus emerges, we can easily update the sensor's design for detecting the novel pathogens." The team now want to develop the mask to detect diseases even faster and create wearable devices that can help people manage other illnesses such as cancer and heart disease.
The findings were published in the journal Matter. Continue reading on www.telegraph.co.uk
A new study conducted by public health researchers at the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services uncovered new information on the efficacy of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine in young people age 5 to 11. The research, funded in part by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, found that against the omicron variant of Covid-19, children in the study group ended up seeing negative — yes, negative — effectiveness some 20 weeks after being vaccinated after peaking between 60 and 70 percent effectiveness.
The large cohort study tracked a 6-month window of time during which omicron was the dominant strain to see what protection was given by the Pfizer vaccine and by previous Covid infection — also known as acquired immunity — against Covid infection or Covid-related hospitalization and/or death.
As notes accompanying the study's publication in the New England Journal of Medicine explain, researchers looked at 887,193 children in the 5 to 11 age group among which 273,157 received at least one dose of Pfizer's Covid vaccine and 193,346 became infected with Covid. Of the positive cases, 309 were known to be hospitalized and 7 were known to have died, according to the study's authors.
Among the conclusions researchers drew from their study, the Pfizer vaccine was less effective against omicron than it was the earlier delta variant while a combination of acquired immunity from previous Covid infection combined with vaccine-induced immunity offered the best protection:
Among previously uninfected children, vaccine effectiveness reached 63.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 61.0 to 65.2) at 4 weeks after the first dose and decreased to 15.5% (95% CI, 8.1 to 22.8) at 16 weeks; among previously infected children, vaccine effectiveness reached 69.6% (95% CI, 57.4 to 78.3) at 4 weeks after the first dose and decreased to 22.4% (95% CI, 13.0 to 30.8) at 16 weeks
The immunity acquired from SARS-CoV-2 infection was high, although it waned over time. Among unvaccinated children, the estimated effectiveness of omicron infection against reinfection with omicron was 90.7% (95% CI, 89.2 to 92.0) at 2 months and 62.9% (95% CI, 58.8 to 66.6) at 4 months (Figure 1C and Table S4). Among vaccinated children, the estimated effectiveness of omicron infection alone against reinfection with omicron was 94.3% (95% CI, 91.6 to 96.1) at 2 months and 79.4% (95% CI, 73.8 to 83.8) at 4 months.
Charts accompanying the survey show the effectiveness of vaccination among children who were previously uninfected and those who had Covid and received the Pfizer vaccine.
As can be seen (panel B, below), the effectiveness for all waned over time until it dipped into negative effectiveness at 20 to 22 weeks post-vaccination. That means vaccinated children in the cohort were more likely to become infected with Covid than their unvaccinated counterparts.
The researchers data is accompanied in the NEJM by notes on limitations in their study including "unmeasured confounding and underreporting of Covid-19 cases" while "waning effects of both vaccination and previous infection may have been confounded by earlier infection and earlier vaccination in high-risk children."
The study also notes that "differential ascertainment of Covid-19 cases between vaccinated and unvaccinated children would bias the estimation of vaccine effectiveness." Continue reading on townhall.com
The Israeli MOH had no adverse events reporting system for the entire year of 2021. They commissioned a research team to analyze the reports from a new system implemented on December 2021. A leaked video reveals that in June, the researchers presented serious findings to the MOH, that indicated long-term effects, including some not listed by Pfizer, and a causal relationship. Te Ministry published a manipulative report, and told the public that no new signal was found. “Here we will have to really think medical-legal. Why medical-legal? Because for quite a few adverse events we said: ‘OK, it exists, and there is a report, but still get vaccinated.’ I mean, we have to think about how to write it and how to present it correctly. So this will not yield lawsuits later: ‘Wait, wait, wait, you said everything will pass and you can get vaccinated. And now look what happened to me. The phenomenon continues.‘” The speaker is Prof. Mati Berkowitz, a pediatric specialist, head of the Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology unit at Shamir Medical Center, and head of the research team appointed by the Israeli Ministry of Health (IMOH) to examine the safety of the Covid-19 vaccine.
This crucial study was based on a new adverse event reporting system the MOH launched in December 2021 – 12 months AFTER rolling out the vaccines to the public, as the system was implemented in December 2020, as they now officially admit, was dysfunctional and did not allow an analysis of the data.
In an internal Zoom meeting in early June, the recording of which was leaked to the press, Prof. Berkowitz warned MOH senior officials that they should think carefully how to present his study’s findings to the public, otherwise they may be sued, since they completely contradict the MOH’s claims that serious side effects are rare, short-term and transient.
After analyzing the reports received over a period of 6 months, the research team found that many serious side effects were in fact long-term, including ones not listed by Pfizer, and established causal relations with the vaccine.
Yet, instead of publishing the findings in a transparent manner to the public, the MOH withheld the findings for nearly two months, and when it finally released an official document, it misrepresented and manipulated the findings, minimizing the extent of reports, and stating that no new adverse events (“signals”) were found, and that the events that were detected were not necessarily caused by the vaccine, even though the researchers themselves said the exact opposite.

As is well known, Israel was crowned, by none other than Pfizer’s CEO Albert Burla, “the world’s laboratory.” And for a good reason. Indeed, Israel has a very high vaccination rate and was the first in the world to give boosters to everyone.
In fact, Pfizer’s request for the approval of the boosters was at least partially based on the so-called study conducted in Israel. Israel was also one of the first countries in the world to vaccinate pregnant women.
Yet, as the MOH now admits, during this entire critical year in which the vast majority of Israelis were vaccinated, most of them with 2-3 doses, the vaccine adverse events reporting system was dysfunctional and did not enable a reliable analysis of the data.
In fact, since the beginning of the vaccination campaign, many Israeli experts have expressed serious concerns regarding the ability of the IMOH to monitor the safety of the vaccine and provide reliable data to the world. Nevertheless, the IMOH told the Israeli public, the FDA, and the entire world that they have a surveillance system, and that they are closely monitoring the data.
For example, Prof. Retsef Levy from MIT, an expert in health systems and risk management, voiced serious criticism during a Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meeting on September 17 of last year which focused on the approval of the booster dose,...
The federal government plans to drop the Covid-19 vaccine requirement for people who enter Canada by the end of September, the same day it ends random testing of arrivals and makes optional the ArriveCan app, The Globe and Mail has learned. The changes, for arrivals at land, air and sea ports of entry, are planned for Sept. 30, but have yet to be finalized by cabinet, according to four sources The Globe is not naming because they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
The mask requirement for people on trains and planes will remain in place, at the direction of Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, according to two of the sources.
The aviation and travel industries have been pushing the government to relax the rules that cover international travel, saying they discourage visitors and are out of step with many other countries as the pandemic eases.
The United States requires all entrants to be vaccinated, and it is not known if the requirement will be lifted at the same time as Canada’s.
The ArriveCan app is used for arriving passengers to submit their customs declarations, vaccine status, and travel plans. It has been criticized as cumbersome, and a contributor to the lineups and logjams that have been a feature of many Canadian airports over the past summer.
Nadine Ramadan, a manager in Transport Minister Omar Alghabra’s office, declined to comment and referred questions to Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety. His office did not immediately respond to an e-mail.
John Gradek, a former Air Canada executive who teaches aviation leadership at McGill University, said he has heard from discussions with industry members who have told him passengers will still have the option of submitting their travel plans, customs declarations and their information using the app, or stand in a line to do so.
On June 20, the government suspended vaccine requirements for domestic and outbound travelers, federal government employees and federally regulated industry workers. The government cited declining Covid-19 cases and the fact that 32 million people, or 90 per cent of eligible Canadians, had been inoculated. Continue reading on www.theglobeandmail.com
'My beautiful Mother’s life was taken yesterday by the Covid BOOSTER SHOT!' wrote bereaved daughter on social media, adding, 'She dropped dead before she hit the floor' in Shoppers Drug Mart! Saskatchewan Health Authority tells Infowars they 'investigated this instance and determined that the person died from natural causes.' A woman reportedly collapsed and died just moments after receiving a Covid booster jab at a local drug store in Saskatoon, Canada.
According to social media posts by the woman’s daughter, her mother Carol Pearce, who was described as “perfectly healthy” and as having “no medical issues at all,” died inside Shoppers Drug Mart on Wednesday, Sept 14 within minutes of texting her daughter she’d received the jab.
“She was happy and perfectly healthy! Spent yesterday morning visiting me at my house up until her appointment time. She left for her appointment happy and energetic!”
In screenshots of a text conversation she’d had with her mother leading up to the moments before she died, one of the last texts from her mom stated she was “waiting the 15 minutes,” along with a gasping emoji followed by “lol.”
“My mom text me right after she got the shot to let me know she was waiting the 15 min and I text her back. It was right after then that they say ‘she dropped dead before she hit the floor’ in shoppers drug mart!!!!! That is what the docs have told us.”
Photos posted to Facebook show someone set up a memorial for Pearce outside the Shoppers Drug Mart where the death reportedly occurred.
In a recent video recorded inside Shoppers, a customer asked a pharmacist about Covid vaccine side effects, however the pharmacist does not tell the customer that a woman died at the location last week, and when confronted with the information expresses they’re “not commenting on that.”
Infowars reached out to the Shoppers Drug Mart location in question, however, two different employees said they could not comment on the matter, with the second employee quickly hanging up the phone following the interaction.
In a statement to Infowars, Loblaw Companies, Shoppers’ parent company, expressed they “would very much like to ensure accurate information is out there, however we can’t provide any information due to privacy,” and referred us to the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the Ministry of Health for further comment.
Responding to our request for comment, the Saskatchewan Health Authority told us if a patient experiences an adverse vaccine reaction “immunizing staff and physicians have a legal obligation to report the event to the medical health officer,” and directed us to the province’s website for “Reporting Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFIs).”
“As of September 11, there were zero deaths due to immunization reported in Saskatchewan,” the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health said in their statement.
“The Saskatchewan coroner’s service has investigated this instance and determined that the person died from natural causes.”
“In the event of a reaction to any vaccine, residents are advised to speak with their primary health care provider or call 9-1-1 in an emergency,” the ministry stated.
Ms. Foster did not immediately return Infowars request for comment as of press time.
A GoFundMe seeking donations to help with funeral arrangements for Pearce has thus far raised $700. Continue reading on www.infowars.com
NBA star Kyrie Irving spoke out against New York City's lingering vaccine mandate after reports indicated Mayor Eric Adams would lift the requirements for private employers but not for city workers. "If I can work and be unvaccinated, then all of my brothers and sisters who are also unvaccinated should be able to do the same, without being discriminated against, vilified, or fired," the Brooklyn Nets star tweeted Tuesday.
"This enforced Vaccine/Pandemic is one the biggest violations of HUMAN RIGHTS in history," he added.
Irving, who is unvaccinated, has been permitted to play for the Nets at Barclays Center since March when Adams created an exemption to New York's vaccine mandate for professional athletes and performers.
The exemption was added after Irving was forced to watch his teammates play from the sidelines because the city's vaccine rules prohibited him from playing but allowed him to sit in the arena. Critics blasted the health ordinance for lacking common sense.
On Tuesday, Adams announced that the strictest-in-the-nation Covid-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses and student athletes imposed by his predecessor Bill de Blasio would end on Nov. 1. However, the vaccine rules will remain in place for municipal employees.
"Our vaccinated workforce kept the city open and operating, with over 300,000 employees it was crucial to put it in place and we're keeping it in place," Adams said, according to WNBC-TV. "Our vaccinated workers have carried out their jobs and stepped up when the city needed them the most and we think it's imperative to send the right message and lead by example."
Observing that 89% of New Yorkers have been vaccinated, including children, the mayor said it was time to give schools, parents, and businesses more flexibility by lifting the vaccine requirements.
New York will continue to recommend that residents get booster shots and Covid-19 vaccinations.
"The rollout has been important and crucial and because we've been so successful, it's time to move on to the next level of fortifying our city," Adams said as he got the latest Covid booster at city hall. "This puts the choice in the hands of New Yorkers. It's imperative we're asking them to continue to encourage their employees to get their vaccines and booster shots."
New York City's vaccine requirements have resulted in more than 1,500 municipal workers getting fired for refusing to comply. There is no telling how many private sector employees lost their jobs after refusing to get vaccinated.
NYPD officers blasted the mayor Tuesday for creating a double standard with vaccine rules.
"This announcement is more proof that the vaccine mandate for New York City police officers is arbitrary, capricious, and fundamentally irrational," said Pat Lynch, the head of the Police Benevolent Association.
"Now that the city has abandoned any pretense of a public health justification for vaccine mandates, we expect it to settle our pending lawsuits and reinstate with back pay our members who unjustly lost their jobs," Lynch added.
The mayor's announcement follows New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) lifting the statewide mass transit mask mandate and other pandemic restrictions on MTA buses and subways. It also comes after President Joe Biden declared the coronavirus pandemic "over" in an interview with CBS News over the weekend.

After President Joe Biden said the coronavirus pandemic was "over" in an interview Sunday, many people were left wondering how to reconcile his comment with the fact that the U.S. is still averaging about 500 Covid deaths every day. But disease experts said debating whether the pandemic is over overshadows a more important concern: the reality that Covid will remain a leading cause of death in the U.S. indefinitely.
"It’s likely, when we think of the causes of death in our society, that Covid’s on the list probably forever,” said Dr. Bob Wachter, the chair of the University of California, San Francisco’s department of medicine.
"Whether we call it a pandemic or not, it’s still an important threat to people," he added.
Covid was the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, after heart disease and cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The same was true last year, provisional CDC data shows. Since April, Covid deaths have stayed relatively flat, at a weekly average of around 300 to 500 per day.
If the trend continues, the U.S. could expect 113,000 to 188,000 deaths a year from Covid, putting it on par with Alzheimer’s, chronic lower respiratory diseases and stroke.
Flu, by comparison, kills about 12,000 to 52,000 people annually. Flu and pneumonia combined were the ninth-leading cause of death in 2020; they fell out of the top 10 last year. "As we’ve figured out how we’re going to live with this disease in perpetuity, it makes sense to contextualize it as another illness that Americans have to face," said Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and professor at George Washington University. Experts said Covid is likely to remain among the U.S.'s 10 leading causes of death for the foreseeable future, regardless of new vaccines, boosters or treatments that might become available. Predicting Covid's future death toll The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, or IHME, a research organization at the University of Washington that regularly models Covid deaths, predicts a decline in Covid deaths over the next two months.
So some experts are hopeful that Covid could drop in the U.S. cause-of-death rankings over time.
"It would not surprise me if we have a similar magnitude of deaths from Covid as we do from flu," said Dr. Chris Murray, the director of the IHME.
Covid death numbers could also fall if hospitals stop routinely testing people for the virus. That's because the current death counts may include some people who tested positive for Covid when they were hospitalized but died of other illnesses.
"Having filled out hundreds of death certificates in my life, I know that some of these deaths are 'with' rather than 'from' Covid," Wachter said.
Murray estimated that half of annual Covid deaths may fall into that category.
The IHME model predicts a steeper drop in deaths this year if 80% of the public wears masks. Wachter said the country could also lower the death count to "half of what it is today" if more people took advantage of vaccines, boosters or treatments.
The White House coronavirus response coordinator, Dr. Ashish Jha, has said he thinks those measures could lead the number to drop further: "We now have all of the capability to prevent, I believe, essentially all of those deaths," he said at a briefing this month.
But at this point, Murray said, "most people have moved on" in terms of their behavior. But... is the pandemic over or not? Many disease experts think it’s time, or almost time, to declare an end to the pandemic, given the widespread availability of Covid vaccines and treatments, the fact that no variant has overtaken omicron since December and the relatively stable U.S. case and death counts over the last few months.
"If you believe, as I do, that we have reached a new stage of stability, to continue to call it a pandemic purely for the purpose of trying to scare people into doing stuff doesn’t seem right to me,
Heather Elkins, 45, couldn’t get a medical exemption from her employer’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate despite a pre-existing heart condition — now she can’t work at all. When her employer in 2021 mandated all employees get the Covid-19 vaccine, Heather Elkins, who had a pre-existing heart condition, requested a medical exemption. But the Oregon Department of Human Services turned down her application — even though Elkins had transitioned, in 2020, to a permanent work-from-home employee.
Elkins told The Defender:
“All State of Oregon employees were mandated by Gov. Kate Brown to be fully vaccinated from Covid-19 or to meet a qualifying exemption regardless of if the employee was working from home or not and if we did not comply, we would lose our job!”
Elkins, 45, was reluctant to get the vaccine for several reasons, she said: “I am by no means against vaccines. With that being said, I was not comfortable with the Covid-19 vaccine for a number of reasons. First, I didn’t feel like there was enough known about it and the long-term effects it might have. “Second, I saw reports stating people were developing heart issues, and given that I myself have a heart issue, I wasn’t feeling comfortable with getting the vaccine.” She added: “It’s my body and the decision should be my choice! I know how my body reacts to trauma, illness, etc. I should be able to choose what goes in it.”
Elkins tried every available avenue in her attempt to get an exemption. She told The Defender:
“I spoke to management, HR and my union, [Service Employees International Union] SEIU, multiple times about how uneasy I felt getting the Covid-19 vaccine. I also spoke with my doctors … multiple times about my concerns and asked for a medical exemption. They kept advising me to get the vaccine and stated the ‘reward outweighs the risk.’
“I even contacted my cardiologist … and was transferred to my cardiologist’s nurse, who stated: ‘we are not advising on whether or not you should receive the Covid-19 vaccine.’”
Elkins said given the vaccines were causing heart issues, she thought her cardiologist, of all people, would be willing to weigh in.
“That wasn’t the case here, she said. “They turned a blind eye.”
After she ran out of options — including not meeting the requirements for a religious exemption, either — Elkins was forced to choose between the vaccine and her job. Symptoms occurred ‘within an hour’ of first Pfizer shot Elkins got the Pfizer vaccine on Sept. 12, 2021, and “within about an hour,” she said, began experiencing adverse reactions.
The reactions she experienced after the first shot didn’t qualify her for a medical exemption from the second shot, she said:
“I even asked for a medical exemption from the second dose of the vaccine after several visits to the doctor for severe symptoms after receiving the first dose of Pfizer.
“I was told that they were not giving medical exemptions because the ‘reward outweighs the risk.’”
So despite continued efforts to secure a medical exemption, Elkins received her second Pfizer shot on Oct. 3, 2021, and experienced “the same severe reaction as with the first dose.” The symptoms included “severe headache[s], severe muscle aches, [a] racing heartbeat … nausea, severe fatigue and dizziness/balance issues, chest pressure/tightness, shortness of breath [and] a severe cough,” she said. A year later, Elkins continues to experience symptoms that affect her ability to work. Continue reading on childrenshealthdefense.org
The New York City Department of Education has fired another 850 teachers and classroom aides for failing to comply with a Covid-19 vaccine mandate, according to the New York Post. The latest firings bring the total to nearly 2,000 school employees fired for failing to comply with the education workers' vaccine mandate imposed by former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2021.
"About 1,300 DOE employees who took a year’s unpaid leave — with benefits — agreed to show proof of Covid vaccination by Sept. 5 or be ‘deemed to have voluntarily resigned.’ Of those staffers, 450 got a shot by the deadline and ‘are returning to their prior schools or work locations,’ DOE officials told The Post. They include some 225 teachers and 135 paraprofessionals," the New York Post reported.

Back in February, New York City fired more than a thousand workers who failed to comply with the city’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate, the mayor’s office said.
"City workers served on the front lines during the pandemic, and by getting vaccinated, they are, once again, showing how they are willing to do the right thing to protect themselves and all New Yorkers," Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. "Our goal was always to vaccinate, not terminate, and city workers stepped up and met the goal placed before them."

So you've had Covid and have now recovered. You don't have ongoing symptoms and luckily, you don't seem to have developed long Covid. But what impacts has Covid had on your overall immune system? It's early days yet. But growing evidence suggests there are changes to your immune system that may put you at risk of other infectious diseases.
Here's what we know so far. A round of viral infections Over this past winter, many of us have had what seemed like a continual round of viral illness. This may have included Covid, influenza or infection with respiratory syncytial virus. We may have recovered from one infection, only to get another.
Then there is the re-emergence of infectious diseases globally such as monkeypox or polio.
Could these all be connected? Does Covid somehow weaken the immune system to make us more prone to other infectious diseases?
There are many reasons for infectious diseases to emerge in new locations, after many decades, or in new populations. So we cannot jump to the conclusion Covid infections have given rise to these and other viral infections.
But evidence is building of the negative impact of Covid on a healthy individual's immune system, several weeks after symptoms have subsided.
More work needs to be done to understand the long-term impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on a person's immune system. (AAP: Diego Fedele) What happens when you catch a virus? There are three possible outcomes after a viral infection:
your immune system clears the infection and you recover (for instance, with rhinovirus which causes the common cold) your immune system fights the virus into "latency" and you recover with a virus dormant in our bodies (for instance, varicella zoster virus, which causes chickenpox) your immune system fights, and despite best efforts the virus remains "chronic", replicating at very low levels (this can occur for hepatitis C virus).
Ideally we all want option 1, to clear the virus. In fact, most of us clear SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid. That's through a complex process, using many different parts of our immune system.
But international evidence suggests changes to our immune cells after SARS-CoV-2 infection may have other impacts. It may affect our ability to fight other viruses, as well as other pathogens, such as bacteria or fungi. How much do we know? An Australian study has found SARS-CoV-2 alters the balance of immune cells up to 24 weeks after clearing the infection.
There were changes to the relative numbers and types of immune cells between people who had recovered from Covid compared with healthy people who had not been infected.
This included changes to cells of the innate immune system (which provides a non-specific immune response) and the adaptive immune system (a specific immune response, targeting a recognised foreign invader).
Another study focused specifically on dendritic cells — the immune cells that are often considered the body's "first line of defence".
Researchers found fewer of these cells circulating after people recovered from Covid. The ones that remained were less able to activate white blood cells known as T-cells, a critical step in activating anti-viral immunity.
Other studies have found different impacts on T-cells, and other types of white blood cells known as B-cells (cells involved in producing antibodies).
After SARS-CoV-2 infection, one study found evidence many of these cells had been activated and "exhausted". This suggests the cells are dysfunctional, and might not be able to adequately fight a subsequent infection. In other words, sustained activation of these immune cells after a SARS-CoV-2 infection may have an impact on other inflammatory diseases.
One study found people who had recovered from Covid have changes in different types of B-cells. This included changes in the cells' metabolism, which may impact how these cells function. Given B-cells are critical for producing antibodi...
President Joe Biden said in a 60 Minutes interview Sunday that the Covid-19 pandemic is a thing of the past. "The pandemic is over," he said. "We still have a problem with Covid. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape, and so I think it's changing, and I think [the Detroit Auto show resuming after three years] is a perfect example of it." The National Institutes of Health defines a pandemic as "an epidemic of disease, or other health condition, that occurs over a widespread area (multiple countries or continents) and usually affects a sizable part of the population."
So are we really in the clear?
Globally, there have been about 612 million cases of coronavirus. The number of new daily cases peaked in January for many countries, including the U.S. (806,987), France (366,554) and India (311,982), according to Our World in Data, an international organization of scientists.
We've come a long way since then – on Saturday, there were about 493,000 cases worldwide – but there are still thousands of cases being detected every day, and many estimates could be off, as many cases are going unreported. From Aug. 16 to Sept. 17, there were 19.4 million new cases worldwide, with some of the most significant increases happening in Japan (29%), Taiwan (20%) and Hong Kong (19%). The U.S. had a 3% increase in cases during that time period, equivalent to 2.5 million incidents.
In Japan, there is a daily cap on the number of people who can arrive in the country and individual tourist visits have been banned, though those guidelines are expected to be reversed soon. Additionally, on Sep. 7, the country lifted its requirement to take a test within 72 hours of landing in Japan, as long as you are vaccinated, according to Nikkei.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also eased up on Covid-19 restrictions, such as issuing the same guidance to both vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans and shortening the quarantine period from 10 days to five. Though, it has not publicly declared the end of the pandemic. Continue reading on www.npr.org
A New Zealand Coroner has ruled that a Dunedin man died from heart inflammation caused by his recent Covid-19 vaccination. Rory James Nairn died on November 17 at the home he shared with his fiancee Ashleigh Wilson. The 26-year-old plumber received his first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine on November 5.
A heartbroken Wilson told the Herald the pair were in the process of moving to their dream home and planning their wedding.
When he started having "heart palpitations regularly" - not long after having his Covid-19 vaccination - the couple put it down to "stress".
Minutes after deciding to go to hospital to get checked out Nairn collapsed. "I watched him die and I could not get to him," said Wilson.
"We were about to leave for hospital and he was in the toilet and I heard a thud. "He had fallen, his body was blocking the door, his full weight was against it and I couldn't get it open.
"I could just see him through a crack in the door, I could see that he was gone.
"It was really, really traumatic." Nairn's death was referred to the Coroner and an inquest held across several days in August and September.
Coroner Sue Johnson released her findings publicly today.
She said she was satisfied with the evidence presented to her that she had sufficient information to establish the cause of Nairn's death.
However she still needed to consider and establish as part of a "wider inquiry" whether Nairn's death could have been prevented and if she needed to make any recommendations.

"My inquiry into these latter issues at is still ongoing," she said.
"Given the public interest in whether or not Rory's death was related to the Covid-19 vaccination he received on 5 November 2021, I consider it important to make public my findings as to the cause of Rory's death as soon as I established it."
Wilson said she did not want to speak about the Coroner's findings at this stage. At the inquest pathologist Dr Noelyn Hung said the direct cause of Nairn's death was "acute myocarditis". Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart. Hung said the condition "was more likely than not due to Rory's recent Covid-19 vaccination." "She explained how she reached the diagnosis of myocarditis," said Coroner Johnson in her findings.
"She saw that Rory's heart was soft and pale and from that knew to look for evidence of myocarditis.
"She therefore carried out an intensive pathological examination of the heart.
"She stated that the cause of the myocarditis came down to a diagnosis by exclusion."
Coroner Johnson said there was is no test at the moment that showed the Covid-19 vaccine in myocardial tissue - but Hung was able to exclude the other causes of myocarditis.
"For example, she saw that it was not caused by Rory having rheumatic fever or by infection as there was no sign of a bacteria, virus or fungi," the Coroner said.
"She also excluded all other known potential causes of myocarditis, for example certain medicines such as the anti-psychotic medications clozapine and risperidone which can cause myocarditis.
"Dr Hung also microscopically examined minute tissue samples she took from other parts of Rory's body: his lungs, thyroid, pancreas, liver, spleen, bone marrow, adrenal glands, kidneys and the central nervous system.
"There was no sign of any infection or any other reason for Rory's death except in the myocardium."

Coroner Johnson said based on Hung's evidence she was satisfied Nairn's cause of death had been established.
"In view of symptoms since Covid-19 vaccination, and no other cause for myocarditis identified, the myocarditis is consistent with vaccine-related myocarditis," she said. "I accept Dr Hung's medical opinion that the direct cause of Rory's death was acute myocarditis and that in the absence of any other cause for the myocarditi...
Steve Deace recently interviewed Dr. Harvey Risch, Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health. Dr. Risch’s work has been cited nearly 50,000 times in journals and studies. He is also an MD. Steve Deace asked Dr. Risch what was the biggest lie of the last 29 months of Covid pandemic. Dr. Risch says it was the lies about hydroxychloroquine in treating Covid 19. The FDA hid the evidence that HCQ was effective in the early treatment of the disease. Hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of this lie. The CDC-FDA officials promoted the questionable experimental vaccines instead and this helped Big Pharma make billions. This was a must-see interview:
Eric Metaxas argues: It has become impossible to avoid the conclusion that the FDA and CDC caused hundreds of thousands to die, that they colluded with Big Pharma to push the dangerous vaccine INSTEAD of actually saving lives. There MUST be a reckoning. Do not be silent.
The Gateway Pundit has reported on the effectiveness of HCQ for over two years now.
There have now been over 67 Ivermectin Covid-19 controlled studies that show a 67% improvement in Covid patients.
There have been 362 Hydroxychloroquine studies that show a 64% improvement in patients for Covid-19 patients.
Despite the science, Dr. Fauci and the medical elites have blocked the use of these effective treatments for coronavirus patients.
Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vaccines, accused Dr. Fauci and others of lying and causing the death of over 500,000 Americans by preventing HCQ and Ivermectin, and other treatments from Covid-19 patients.
Dr. Malone is right. It is well documented that Dr. Fauci and top US doctors conspired to disqualify and condemn hydroxychloroquine as a Covid-19 treatment.
Millions died as a result of this. Continue reading on www.thegatewaypundit.com
A young Dunedin solo parent has been left barely able to stand and crawling round the house due to fatigue and dizziness from long Covid. Scout Barbour-Evans, 27, said their condition is also impacting their toddler who is being forced to eat takeaways because they're too exhausted to cook. They've been battling to get home help for months while they recover from their condition and feel they've been left "high and dry".
Sadly, their case is not unique.
The Government admits policies to support people with long Covid in their homes remains under development more than two years since the pandemic began.
Te Whatu Ora Health NZ Care in the Community manager Daniel Hirst told the Herald in the meantime the agency would work directly with Barbour-Evans on the best option for them.
"It is important to note that long Covid, as a recognized condition, is in its infancy and the pathology is not yet well understood. We absolutely recognize the need for those whose domestic situation is being severely impacted by long Covid-like symptoms can get the support they need."
Barbour-Evans said they are still struggling to trust that help would come after so many "false starts" and they would have to see action before they believe it's really happening. Despite the fresh updates on their request for support, Barbour-Evans said it doesn't change how long Covid sufferers have been left "high and dry" by the Government.
"It's atrocious that it's taken journalists investigating to get as far as we've got now." Long Covid is a wide-range of lingering symptoms that can include debilitating fatigue and aches to brain fog and depression in perhaps one in 10 Covid infections.
Before getting Covid in April Barbour-Evans said they had been the sort of parent who made their own bread, jam and home cooked meals.
"Both foraged and homegrown ingredients so I've had to really work on adjusting my expectations of myself. "I'm grieving a lot because I overcame so many health challenges, both physical and mental, before Covid knocked me down. I had battled through everything to get a degree, to start a business, and then the uncontrolled Covid spread in our schools disabled me again." Barbour-Evans said they don't have words to describe the fatigue they are experiencing. Even being touched, they said, feels "excruciating". "My symptoms range from the fatigue and the post-exertion malaise, to being more prone to other infections, to my blood pressure tanking when I stand up. I can walk short distances but if I stand still I get the dizzies, and when I have to get up or down I get dizzy too." As time goes on, they said things are getting harder and harder.
"This isn't fair to my toddler. She didn't ask for any of this. I can barely cook right now let alone sit and play with her."
They said results from Official Information Act (OIA) requests they've sent were "incredibly disappointing", as there had been "lots of hui, no action".
"They've had 2.5 years to plan for this and it was utterly negligent to let Covid spread without a plan.
"I'm angry, I'm lonely, and I am too exhausted to be fighting like this."
Ministry of Health long Covid expert advisory group chairman, chief allied health professions officer Dr Martin Chadwick said there needs to be a holistic approach to treatment options for long Covid as each person will present with a range of symptoms.
"Support could include also energy conservation and fatigue management, confidence building, muscle strengthening, anxiety management, nutritional advice, speech and swallowing advice, breathing re-education, assessment for aids and adaptations and activities to support individuals to regain function."
On Thursday the ministry released long Covid guidelines for health professionals, individuals and those caring for people with long Covid.
The guidelines look at the options for care available to people with the condition like Barbour-Evans and what resources ...
As government officials and mainstream media urges the vaccinated to inject a second so-called “bivalent” booster said to be targeting the Omicron variant, it turns out that this substance hasn’t been tested on humans. And the only animal trial that has been performed included eight mice. “It hasn’t been proven in a clinical trial, because we don’t have time to do a clinical trial because we need to get the vaccine out now because we have such a situation throughout the world and certainly in the United States, we’re having 400 deaths per day and up to 5,000 hospitalizations a day,” NIAID Dr Anthony Fauci explained in an interview.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has also stated that the boosters must be expedited in order to work properly. A delay would potentially render the shots “outdated” as new variants would form, Walensky argues. Study: Worse than the virus A new study conducted by scientists from Harvard and Johns Hopkins, currently in pre-print, reveals that the Covid-19 vaccines were up to 98 times worse than the virus itself.
The study is critical of the booster requirement for American university students, stating in the abstract: “Using CDC and sponsor-reported adverse event data, we find that booster mandates may cause a net expected harm: per Covid-19 hospitalization prevented in previously uninfected young adults, we anticipate 18 to 98 serious adverse events, including 1.7 to 3.0 booster-associated myocarditis cases in males, and 1,373 to 3,234 cases of grade ≥3 reactogenicity which interferes with daily activities.” False information As first reported in the Epoch Times, CDC has provided false information regarding their tracking of adverse events caused by the vaccines. At the same time, Walensky admits that there is a causal relationship between the mRNA vaccines and myocarditis:
In a letter dated September 2 from CDC Director Rochelle Walensky to Senator Ron Johnson, the director states that “CDC consistently performs extensive data collection and analysis to detect potential adverse events and safety signals and then communicates this information to the public.
For example, VAERS staff conducted assessments showing that causal associations exist between thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome and Janssen’s Covid-19 vaccine and between myocarditis and mRNA Covid-19 vaccination.”
In the same letter, Walensky also stated that the CDC did not analyze certain types of adverse event reports whatsoever in 2021, despite having previously stated that they did start this tracking in February of that year. Continue reading on www.theflstandard.com
Editor's note: Despite vaccination, people are still dying from Covid. We offer this article as informative toward the overall Covid situation and the vaccine situation. Roshan Kalghatgi was shocked when his 73-year-old mother tested positive for the coronavirus in July, nearly 2½ years into the pandemic. “I thought it was a fluke,” the Redwood City resident said. “I made them do it again.”
His mother, Manisha, had eluded the virus at a Pennsylvania assisted living facility as Covid-19 devastated group facilities for the elderly. She had avoided infection again when she flew across the country to join Roshan and his family in San Mateo County, where she would tickle her 4-year-old grandson and faithfully follow his repeated requests to show him her belly button.
She had been vaccinated against Covid and received booster shots as well, Roshan said. By July, Covid wasn’t the top threat to Manisha on his mind: His mother had been struggling with kidney disease and Roshan fretted about how to keep her going to dialysis, which she had abandoned even as Roshan agonized about what it would mean for her health.
Manisha Kalghatgi, in a photograph provided by her son, died this August of Covid-19 and complications related to kidney disease.
Manisha was “stubborn about the right things and also stubborn about the wrong things,” Roshan said ruefully, remembering how she had raised two children alone after the abrupt death of his father from a heart attack; and how she had moved repeatedly to find the best schools and services for Roshan, who became an engineer, and his sister Reena, who has an intellectual disability.
She died in August. To lose her now, Roshan said, “just seems so strange.”
Americans have been urged to learn to live with the coronavirus, but this summer, hundreds were still dying from it each day. The death toll has fallen from the grim peaks of past surges, but has persisted in recent months, averaging more than 400 lives lost a day from June through August, according to data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
At that rate, Covid still amounts to one of the biggest causes of death in the U.S., even as public officials herald the availability of vaccines and treatments. The coronavirus “no longer controls our lives,” President Biden declared this spring and again this summer. His Covid-19 coordinator has stated that most Covid deaths are now preventable.
Yet in Los Angeles County, more people died of Covid between May and July this year than during the same months last year. The virus claimed the lives of nearly 800 people in L.A. County in those months, compared with nearly 500 a year earlier. Elderly people bore the brunt of that increase, with a death rate that had tripled among people who had reached their 80th birthday. “There’s no question in my mind that ageism has been an enabling aspect of our inadequate response to Covid,” said Dr. Michael Wasserman, a geriatrician and chair of the public policy committee for the California Assn. of Long Term Care Medicine.
Across California, roughly half of Covid deaths this summer were among people who had reached age 80 or older, and nearly one-third were between 65 and 79, a Times analysis of state data found.
Men remain more likely to die than women, according to L.A. County data. The toll of the pandemic has also continued to follow longstanding patterns of racial inequality: Black Californians had the highest rates of death from Covid across the state in recent months, a pattern that persisted in most age groups, The Times’ analysis found.
But others were not spared, the figures show. Besides the stark toll on the elderly, hundreds of middle-aged and younger people also lost their lives to the virus in California in recent months, including four minors. Experts said that the rampant spread of the Omicron variant has driven up the number of deaths even as many others are surviving infection. Right now,
Transplant recipients are rejecting their new organ after receiving a vaccination against Covid-19, adding an additional challenge for the vaccinated population, according to the new study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine. A group of 18 health experts and researchers from Japan conducted a study to systematically evaluate and characterize the currently reported cases of acute corneal graft rejection after Covid-19 vaccine administration.
A rejection graft occurs when the recipient’s immune system rejects tissue from a donor, in this case, the cornea.
The cornea is the transparent layer forming the front of the eye. Corneal allograft transplantation is the most frequently performed organ transplant procedure worldwide.
Compared to other organs, the cornea has a relatively low rate of allograft rejection due to its “immune privilege.” This fact prompted the researchers to examine the recent rise in corneal graft rejection following Covid vaccination. “These reports have raised concerns among ophthalmologists as future booster doses of Covid-19 vaccines are being discussed, which may impact outcomes in future corneal allograft recipients,” the authors wrote. “This information will help to establish effective care and preventive measures against allograft rejection in future corneal transplant recipients with a history of recent Covid-19 vaccination or for those planning Covid-19 vaccination.”
Japanese researchers compiled data from all articles published by 23 February 2022 using electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed and EMBASE).
Twenty-four articles were identified through the database search but only 13 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review.
“The articles included in this systematic review were published between 29 April 2021, and 23 December 2021. Nine articles were case reports, and four were case series. Four articles were from the United States of America; two each from the United Kingdom and India, and one each from Brazil, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, and Italy. A total of 21 patients (23 eyes) who experienced corneal graft rejection after Covid-19 vaccine administration were identified in the 13 studies,” the study stated.
According to the study, more than 95% of eyes (22/23 eyes) experienced corneal allograft rejection within 3 weeks of vaccination among the 21 patients (23 eyes).
The interval between vaccination and rejection ranged from 1 day to 6 weeks but some took the procedure as long as twenty years ago.
“In our analysis of 21 patients (23 eyes) with signs of corneal allograft rejection after receiving Covid-19 vaccines, the median interval between corneal transplantation and graft rejection after Covid-19 vaccination was 2 years. Two of these patients (two eyes) underwent PKP > 20 years ago and had no history of acute or chronic corneal allograft rejection. The long-term stability and temporariness of vaccination and allograft rejection suggest that immune responses to the vaccine may have played a role in transplant rejection,” the study stated.
Below is the list of patients’ information and vaccination status:
The study stated, “in conclusion, this systematic review identified clinical features and host factors associated with corneal allograft rejection after Covid-19 vaccination. As the virus continues to spread, additional booster Covid-19 vaccine schedules are expected. Therefore, proper follow-up of corneal allograft recipients and interventions to prevent corneal allograft rejection after administering the Covid-19 vaccine may be crucial.”

In June, when the Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of coronavirus vaccines for children younger than 5, physicians expected apprehension among parents — after all, 4 in 10 parents with young children said they would definitely not get their youngsters vaccinated, according to a July Kaiser Family Foundation survey. But doctors and public health experts never expected there would be this little interest in vaccines for young children. Even in places with strong pro-vaccine sentiments, few young children have received shots, including in the District, which has the highest percentage vaccinated. In D.C., barely 21 percent of children 6 months to 4 years old have received one shot, and just 7.5 percent have received both doses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi — which occupy the bottom of the list — the rates are even more dismal: less than 0.2 percent. Health officials worry that the lackluster vaccination uptake might leave the nation vulnerable to coronavirus clusters in the fall and winter.
Just under 325,000 young children are fully vaccinated nationwide, according to the CDC. While some parents blame a lack of access, experts believe misinformation surrounding the shot for younger children is driving vaccine hesitancy.
Peter Hotez, an infectious-disease physician and pediatrician at the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, said he’d hoped vaccination rates would improve as the months went by, but they remain stagnant.
Nationwide, vaccination rates with a single dose increase with the age of children. Children younger than 5 have a 6 percent single-dose vaccination rate; for children 5 to 11, it’s six times higher, at 38 percent; and 12- to 17-year-olds have the highest vaccination rates among youths, at 70 percent.
The low vaccination rates among the youngest children reflect inadequate communications about the shot, according to Hotez.
“We haven’t done a good job explaining the long-term developmental consequences of long-covid for younger children,” Hotez said. “And future coronavirus variants are a very likely possibility.”
From March 2020 to June 2022, 1.9 million children ages 1 to 4 tested positive for the coronavirus and 202 died. These numbers are low compared with the data on deaths among adults: Since the dawn of the pandemic, covid has killed more than 1 million U.S. adults. Still, scientists remain concerned about the enduring consequences of children being infected with the coronavirus, saying we don’t have enough data to determine whether children will develop long-term issues from a single coronavirus infection or multiple infections.
Zachary Rubin, a pediatric allergist and immunologist in Illinois, said the death of even one child from an illness that could be prevented by a vaccine should be reason enough for parents to vaccinate their children. He said there needs to be more concern among parents about the long-term effects of the virus in younger children, such as brain fog and disorders involving smell — symptoms that are harder to diagnose.
“An infant or toddler won’t be able to tell you if they’ve had fatigue or constant headaches, so you wouldn’t know if something was lingering even when the obvious physical symptoms subsided,” Rubin said.
Parents’ hesitation about vaccination comes against a backdrop of eroding trust in public health guidance. A 2021 Harvard study found that many Americans are concerned about how public health institutions function. In the past decade, the public health system has experienced a decline in positive ratings.
Megan C., a New Jersey mother who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of concerns about her family business, has children ages 8 and 3. She said her decision not to vaccinate her son and daughter doesn’t stem from a political movement. Instead, Megan C. said,
Starbucks announced today that it is ending its long-standing Covid pay policies, according to documents obtained by More Perfect Union. The company will then exclude workers at unionized stores from new paid leave benefits that will be implemented soon. “Temporary self-isolation pay, vaccine pay, and side effects pay will conclude for all stores with the close of the fiscal year on Oct. 2,” the company wrote in a memo to store managers. “With this change, partners may use available sick and vacation pay if they are required to isolate and will continue to follow Covid-19 self-isolation guidance as well as the existing illness policy.”
The current guidance requires that workers self-isolate for five days if they test positive for Covid.
The change is a dramatic one. Currently, the company offers two rounds of isolation pay per quarter to store workers that test positive for Covid-19 or are exposed to someone that tested positive. Each round lasts five days, after which workers must use their paid time off. Starbucks also provides two hours of paid time off to receive Covid vaccinations and boosters, as well as four paid hours to cover side effects from the vaccinations. Now, workers will still have to self-isolate for five days, but will not be expressly paid for doing so.
Predicated on the assertion that Covid is entering “into the endemic phase,” the memo teases that Starbucks will soon roll out improved PTO policies, including “faster sick time accrual.” Starbucks insists that labor law prevents them from extending the same to the 230+ stores that have voted to unionize.
“At stores where workers have union representation, federal law requires good faith collective bargaining over wages, benefits and working conditions which prohibits Starbucks from making or announcing unilateral changes, including with respect to sick time accrual.”
As a result, the memo suggests that Starbucks is legally permitted to unilaterally strip unionized stores of the current Covid leave benefits, but banned from implementing the new benefits in those stores.
This marks a continuation of the company’s strategy of driving a wedge between union and non-union stores, part of an effort to kill the enthusiasm for a historic organizing drive. Starbucks has regularly provided new pay raises and benefits to non-union stores while refusing to extend the same to workers at unionized stores.
In late August, the NLRB issued a complaint that accused Starbucks of breaking labor law by refusing to provide improved benefits to unionized workers. Starbucks counters that all new benefits must be determined in collective bargaining, which the company has regularly delayed since January.

A former New York City firefighter captain - who said his 20-year career ended after his religious exemption from the city's vaccine mandate was denied - absolutely shredded city council last Friday in a blistering address. “I went from being essential to being disposable from the mandates," Brendan Fogarty began as he sat calmly — at first — in front of a microphone.
“My religious exemption was denied,” he added, noting that he then "received those threats of termination" since the mandate requires city employees to be vaccinated in order to keep their jobs.
With that, Fogarty said he retired — but clearly not willingly, as he told the council that he'd "love to go back to my job."
At another point in his address, he began to get angry. “I gave my best years to this city! Twenty years from [age] 21 to 41, and then they take it away at the peak of my earning career! I made it to captain; I went through that process! You should be ashamed of yourselves!” Fogarty told the council. He added, "I was allowed to work in this city, but I wasn't allowed to eat in a restaurant in this city! I was allowed to work through the pandemic, but I wasn’t allowed to eat in a restaurant! I could wear the uniform, go to a burning building, but not eat here! What’s wrong with you people?” With that, he got up and concluded his address with a blistering kiss-off: "Trust the science! You guys are f***ed up!” Lawsuit Fox News' Tucker Carlson featured video of Fogarty's speech on his Thursday program and interviewed his attorney, Barry Black, as Fogarty is suing the city.
"It's indefensible, and it's entirely unconstitutional," Black told Carlson of the city's vaccine mandate.
Black added that his firm is representing firefighters, police officers, sanitation workers, teachers, parks department workers, and even private-sector employees, "all of whom are subject to a New York City vaccine mandate, so if you are terminated because you object on religious grounds, you are out of luck."
What's more, the attorney pointed out that the city has "discretionarily" granted exemptions to "artists, athletes, entertainers — and yes, that includes adult entertainers. So you have strippers scot-free exempt of vaccine mandates, but priests, pastors, and rabbis, they have to get vaccinated. It's the First Amendment turned upside-down on its head." Anything else? Mayor Eric Adams exempted athletes and performers from the vaccine mandate in March following intense pressure — but most notably over NBA star Kyrie Irving being barred from playing in Brooklyn Nets home games yet being allowed to enter the Nets' arena as a spectator and sit courtside.
“Being healthy is not just about being physically healthy, but being economically healthy,” Adams said, the New York Post reported at the time. Adams also said the exemption was needed because New York City — heavily reliant on the tourism — "has to function," the paper added.
The city's vaccine mandate resulted in more than 1,400 employees getting fired, and Adams said at the time he wasn't planning on rehiring them, the Post reported. Continue reading on www.theblaze.com
The pandemic is essentially over, right? For some, yes. For others, not so much. It was only June when unvaccinated Canadians were finally allowed to leave the country, for reasons unclear to anyone. The vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission, so how did it make sense to keep the unvaccinated behind the frozen curtain? It didn’t.
But that’s Canada. It’s completely lost the plot with Covid and chucked all its previously freedom-loving ideals out the nearest window, eh? America wouldn’t behave like that, right?
Except we are.
Tennis player Novak Djokovic couldn’t travel to America to compete in the US Open in August because he’s unvaccinated. No foreigner may enter the United States without being fully vaccinated. Unless, of course, they walk across our border. That’s right. If you’re visiting, stay away with your Covid-infested self. If you’re trying to stay here forever, bring that Covid right in.
If you’re looking for consistency in Covid-19 policies, you can stop right now. None of it has ever made sense. The fractured trust between Americans and our institutions will be immeasurable. And the damage continues.
New York City kids don’t need a Covid vaccination to attend schools but do need it to play school sports. Think about this. These kids can go to school, have lunch with their friends, take school trips and play sports during gym class, but they can’t play in an after-school league.
Many kids rely on sports to pay for their higher education. Think about all the kids who no longer exercise after school because they can’t play sports.
If we’re doing this for kids’ “health,” we’re doing it all wrong. The poor will be most hurt by these no-science-anywhere rules. Professional athletes playing in the city, obviously, have no such mandate.
It’s not just sports. A few days ago, New York City’s Department of Education fired another 850 teachers and classroom aides, bringing the total to approximately 1,950 DOE workers let go since the October 2021 vaccine mandate. It was a terrible thing to do, even back then, but a year later we have an avalanche of information, about the way Covid spreads and what the vaccines can’t do, that renders the decision not just foolish but cruel.
As The Post’s Susan Edelman reported a few days ago, “In all, NYC has fired more than 2,600 municipal workers not fully vaccinated.” This, when we’re told New York and so many other places are in the middle of a teacher shortage. These teachers are exploring opportunities in faraway places like Long Island. Make it make sense.
Parents also can’t enter New York school buildings if unvaccinated. That includes parents of special-needs children, who must interact with teachers. These nonsensical rules are causing lasting damage.
If you’re vaccinated and thinking “Those people should just get vaccinated,” you’re missing the point. I’m vaccinated, too. But there’s absolutely no reason my Johnson & Johnson shot from March 2021 should gain me any privileges not accorded to others.
Studies show the vaccine’s effectiveness wears off after a few months and transmission can happen at any time. Forced compliance for the fun of it should not be health policy.
And no, boosters don’t mean you’re any safer. In fact, the Biden administration isn’t labeling the latest shot a “booster” at all. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre called it a “new vaccine.” You might find yourself back with the “unvaccinated” sooner than you think.
But don’t take my word for it. Throughout the pandemic, the line from politicians forcing their will on us has been “We must listen to the CDC!” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whose guidance we’d ignored while we ate sushi (a big no-no) and medium-cooked burgers (seriously, are you trying to die at this picnic?), suddenly spouted the word of God.
Well, the CDC recommends to “no longer differentiate based on a person’s vaccination status because breakthrough infections occur.
The government of New Zealand abruptly ended most Covid mandates recently, tacitly acknowledging that none of their restrictions work. New Zealand had been one of the most draconian countries on earth with regards to mask and vaccine mandates. They hung onto mandates long after most parts of the world had moved on. They continued to enforce them deep into 2022.
Prime Minister Jacinda Arden previously said that no one should listen to anything other than what the government tells them when it comes to Covid:
New Zealand reverses course on mandates But now, according to Reuters, the sole arbiter of truth has declared that Covid restrictions are ready to come to an end: “Finally, rather than feeling that Covid dictates what happens to us, our lives, and our futures, we take back control.”
“For the first time in two years we can approach summer with the much needed certainty New Zealanders and business need, helping to drive greater economic activity critical to our economic recovery.” Mask mandates have been dropped outside of healthcare and elder care facilities. Vaccine mandates to enter the country have also been lifted. This, well over a year after it was abundantly clear that vaccines did nothing to slow the spread.
The country’s obsessive focus on “controlling” the virus led to disturbing police crackdowns on dissent that were defended by Arden.
Their strategy of closing down to the world until vaccines became widely available was also a failure. Deaths in the country surged with mask mandates and one of the world’s highest vaccination and booster rates. Mandates are ineffective By ending requirements now, even as cases remain substantially higher than they previously were, the government is admitting that they’re entirely unable to “control” Covid.
While the country’s entering its spring and summer period, cases will almost certainly remain low. But more concerning, is what happens when fall and winter return. Or if a new variant emerges, and cases rise once again?
The true test of whether society will actually move on from mandates won’t be faced until further increases are ignored.
Mandates are completely ineffective, and the end of useless restrictions on normal life are always a cause for celebration.
Yet when politicians like Arden truly believe they work, it’s hard to feel safe that mandates will ever fully be a relic of a delusional, anti-science past. Continue reading on www.outkick.com
It is so nice to see scientists finally catching up to the stuff that a considerable portion of the country has already been doing for nearly 40 months.
Has Covid-19 become no more dangerous than the flu for most people?
That's a question that scientists are debating as the country heads into a third pandemic winter. Early in the pandemic, Covid was estimated to be 10 times more lethal than the flu, fueling many people's fears.
"We have all been questioning, 'When does Covid look like influenza?''' says Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco. "And, I would say, 'Yes, we are there.'"
Me when I find out we can treat Covid like the flu, finally:
I mean, sure, Covid's fatality rate for a huge portion of the population has been pretty much like the flu this entire time, but at least scientists are finally saying it which means we are allowed to say it now too!
Not everyone is happy about this, though:
If Taylor Lorenz is against it, folks, I'm all for it!

The U.S. Navy quietly rolled back an order punishing SEALs who remain unvaccinated due to their religious beliefs, according to recent court documents. The order, "Trident Order #12," disqualified SEALs seeking religious exemptions from the Covid-19 vaccine from training, traveling for deployment and conducting other standard business. It was first issued on Sept. 24, 2021 by Vice Chief of Naval Operations Admiral William Lescher, and all special warfare forces were initially expected to come into compliance with the vaccine mandate by mid-October 2021. The order specifically said that "Special Operations Designated Personnel (SEAL and SWCC) refusing to receive recommended vaccines based solely on personal or religious beliefs will still be medically disqualified," meaning that SEALs were designated as "non-deployable" if they submitted religious accommodation requests. The order was put on hold due to a preliminary injunction issued by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in early 2022 as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by First Liberty Institute and Hacker Stephens LLP on behalf of 35 active-duty SEALs and three reservists seeking a religious exemption to the mandate. However, according to a new filing in the lawsuit, the Navy quietly rolled back Trident Order #12 on May 22, 2022, a few months after the injunction was issued. A communication order was circulated by the Navy on May 23 with the subject: "NSWC CLOSEOUT TO TRIDENT ORDER #12 - MANDATORY VACCINATION FOR Covid-19." NSWC refers to the Naval Surface Warfare Center. "This order rescinds reference A," it states, referring to "Ref A" as "Trident Order #12 on Covid-19 Vaccinations."
The May 23 communication order also said Navy commands "will continue to follow guidance, as appropriate, regarding Covid-19 vaccination, accommodation requests, and mitigation measures."
It is not immediately clear whether the Navy replaced the order with any other document or the reasoning behind Trident Order #12's termination. The Navy spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "The Navy does not comment on ongoing litigation."
According to a filing from plaintiff attorney Heather Gebelin Hackeron to a Fifth Circuit clerk, the legal team representing the SEALs only became aware of the recession of the order on Sept. 1, months after it was rolled back.
"To the best of counsel’s knowledge, Trident Order #12 was not replaced. As the Court will recall, Trident Order #12 stated that SEALs who are unvaccinated due to religious beliefs are medically disqualified, though SEALs who are unvaccinated due to medical reasons are not automatically disqualified. Trident Order #12 also implemented the Covid-19 vaccine mandate at the command level for Naval Special Warfare forces, setting a deadline of compliance for October 17, 2021," the SEALs' legal team wrote.
"A copy of the order rescinding Trident Order #12 is attached to this letter. The rescission of Trident Order # 12 does not appear to affect the applicability of Navy or DoD-wide vaccine policies to NSW personnel—it just appears to remove the command-level direction," Hackeron continued.
The lawsuit representing unvaccinated SEALs, first reported by Fox News Digital in November, has since been amended to extend to a class action lawsuit encompassing all Navy service members seeking religious accommodation.
First Liberty's Senior Counsel and Director of Military Affairs Mike Berry told Fox News Digital, "Now that the Navy has rescinded this unlawful order, the only reason it won't allow our SEALs to get back to doing their jobs is because of their religious beliefs."
"America faces many national security threats, and the Navy is suffering a historic recruiting crisis. There's no good reason to keep these trained and experienced warriors from serving," Berry said.
In addition, during a recent deposition, Admiral Lescher, who issued the original Trident Order #12, stated he was "unaware" of any Navy SEAL combat missions...
Over a week after Gail Seiler’s physician had given her a terminal diagnosis, her husband, Brad Seiler, wheeled her out of the back door of the hospital where she had been admitted for Covid-19 on Dec. 3, 2021. “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Seiler, but you are going to die,” she recalled her physician telling her on Dec. 5. On Dec. 15, despite resistance from hospital staff, Brad extracted Seiler from Medical City Plano hospital in Plano, Texas, where the couple lives.
Seiler is one of the few patients who has lived to tell her story about what she said she witnessed on the inside with Covid-19 hospital treatment protocols. “It became clear to me that people are not dying in hospitals from Covid. They are dying from these protocols,” Seiler told The Epoch Times. Seiler went in for a monoclonal antibody infusion with the request that she be given the early-treatment protocols prescribed through the Front Line Critical Care Alliance (FLCCA), which included the use of ivermectin and budesonide.
However, when staff discovered she was unvaccinated, “the whole tone changed,” she said.
“I quickly lost the right to advocate for my own medical care,” she said. ‘I Didn’t Come Here to Die’ After a 26-hour wait, she finally got a bed in the intensive care unit (ICU), but no family members were allowed to visit, she said.
This is where she met Dr. Giang Quach, the physician who told her she was going to die because she was unvaccinated, she said.
“I told him, ‘I didn’t come here to die,’” she said.
Seiler said Quach pushed her to take remdesivir, a drug known to cause kidney failure. She repeatedly asked for a different doctor, but her pleas went unanswered and Quach remained in charge of her care, she said.
In 2018, President Donald Trump signed the Right to Try Act into law, which allowed patients with life-threatening diseases who have exhausted all other options to try certain unapproved treatments.
Because Quach had given Seiler a terminal diagnosis, she was entitled to try FLCCA protocols to treat Covid-19, but the hospital denied her those treatments, she said.
Quach also denied Seiler her right to see a priest to administer her last rites, she said.
So, Seiler made a deal with Quach, she said.
She said she would submit to a round of Remdesivir if Quach let her see her priest for final sacraments.
Quach agreed, and Seiler was allowed to see her priest, she said.
“Then, we denied the Remdesivir,” Seiler said. “They were pretty angry about it, but honestly, I felt I was in a fight for my soul. When the priest left, I had this renewed feeling that I was going to live and not be killed.”
Gail Seiler’s last day at the hospital in 2021. (Courtesy of Gail Seiler) ‘Every Day I Would Tell Them I’m Not a DNR’ Every day, Seiler said, she made it known that she did not want Quach in charge of her care and insisted on seeing a different provider, but Quach always returned.
Seiler’s daughter had access to her online records, where she found that Seiler was classified as Do Not Resuscitate (DNR), she said.
Seiler said she was not supposed to be listed as DNR.
“The scariest part of it was every day I would tell them I’m not a DNR, but them telling me I’m a DNR,” Seiler said.
In order to be resuscitated, Seiler said, hospital staff told her she had to go on the ventilator, the final stage for many who have reported similar hospital stories that ended in death.
Each of the standard treatment protocols for Covid-19, beginning with remdesivir and ending with the ventilator, are reimbursed with lucrative payoffs from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), leading many to believe this is the reason hospitals continue to use these protocols while denying early treatment.
In a Sept. 7 conference titled “Remdesivir Death: Landmark Lawsuit” in Fresno, California, two attorneys announced lawsuits against three hospitals for what they allege are the hospitals using remdesivir without in...
Ever since writing my article on the Israeli safety data on Sept 2, 2022, I have been trying to ask the head of the ACIP committee, Stanford Professor Grace Lee, if she wanted to see the data. Stanford Professor Grace Lee is the Chair of the CDC’s outside committee on vaccine safety. I tried everything I could think of to get her attention on the critical Israeli vaccine safety information. She ignored me and called the cops. I have the whole thing on video. She cannot now claim plausible deniability. Surely, she would want to see this data. How could she not want to see the data? She is arguably the top vaccine safety person in the world outside of the CDC. Dr. Martin Kulldorff wanted to see the Israeli data and he has similar credentials (Harvard Professor, formerly on FDA and CDC committees, highly respected in the vaccine community). But he has no active role in vaccine safety. It’s not his job. Yet he wanted to see the data since he’s in the vaccine field.
Unlike Dr. Kulldorff, it’s Dr. Lee’s job to be aware of the safety data for the vaccine. It’s her most important responsibility. If there is a single person in the world who would be most interested in seeing the vaccine safety data, it should be Dr. Lee.
Just to double-check my logic, I asked Martin why would anyone in an official position of responsibility on vaccine safety NOT want to see the Israeli data? He said, “I don’t know.”
So the default assumption is that Dr. Lee would want to see the data as well, just like Dr. Kulldorff. Oddly, Dr. Lee didn’t respond to my respectful emails asking if she wanted to see the data. If she had responded either yes or no, that would have been the end of it. But I heard nothing. I don’t give up so easily. So I texted her cell phone.
And that didn’t work either! Again, no response. She could have simply responded “no” and that would have been the end of it. Baffling!
Perhaps her text messages weren’t working? This happened to my AT&T phone recently where text messages didn’t work until AT&T reset my messaging.
I knew how important this data was to the world and surely she would want to see it but clearly my messages must simply be buried in all the emails and text messages she gets or something else was getting in the way. My question deserves an answer because lives are at stake!
It would not be right for me to give up at this point without trying every option at my disposal to get her attention on this matter.
Since she conveniently lives just 10 minutes from my house, I went to her front door and rang the doorbell. I waited and waited for her to answer the door, but nobody came to the door. So I left.
I’ve tried this multiple times. I guess I keep missing her. Darn.
Today I tried again. This time I waited because there was a light on inside the house. I waited about 20 minutes for her to answer the door. After all, she could be on zoom call, taking a shower, or doing something important like feeding the dog.
I just wanted an answer… “why don’t you want to see the data?” That’s it.
After around 20 minutes of waiting at her door, I gave up, went back to my car, and wrote a nice note asking if she wanted to see the data, and attached it to the hook on her front door.
The note said:
Dr. Lee,
Do you want to see the Israeli safety data? Please let me know yes or no. Lives are at stake. Steve Kirsch 650-xxx-xxxx.
Here’s the image of the note (the hole was where it was attached to the door hook):
The note I attached to Dr. Lee’s door. I blurred my phone number in the photo. This is from the live video (the police officer is holding the note).
As I was leaving, I was greeted by two Palo Alto police officers.
So I started my video camera to record the only proof of delivery I was ever going to get.
Clearly, she was at home and didn’t want to answer the door and have a friendly conversation about the scientific data that could save hundreds of thousands of lives.
Has Covid-19 become no more dangerous than the flu for most people? That's a question that scientists are debating as the country heads into a third pandemic winter. Early in the pandemic, Covid was estimated to be 10 times more lethal than the flu, fueling many people's fears. "We have all been questioning, 'When does Covid look like influenza?''' says Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco. "And, I would say, 'Yes, we are there.'"
Gandhi and other researchers argue that most people today have enough immunity — gained from vaccination, infection or both — to protect them against getting seriously ill from Covid. And this is especially so since the omicron variant doesn't appear to make people as sick as earlier strains, Gandhi says.
So unless a more virulent variant emerges, Covid's menace has diminished considerably for most people, which means that they can go about their daily lives, says Gandhi, "in a way that you used to live with endemic seasonal flu."
But there's still plenty of differing views on this topic. While the threat from Covid-19 may be approaching the peril the flu poses, skeptics doubt it's hit that point yet.
"I'm sorry — I just disagree," says Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House's medical adviser, and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "The severity of one compared to the other is really quite stark. And the potential to kill of one versus the other is really quite stark."
Covid is still killing hundreds of people every day, which means more than 125,000 additional Covid deaths could occur over the next 12 month if deaths continue at that pace, Fauci notes. Covid has already killed more than 1 million Americans and it was the third leading cause of death in 2021.
A bad flu season kills about 50,000 people.
"Covid is a much more serious public health issue than is influenza," Fauci says, noting this is especially true for older people, the group at the highest risk dying from the disease. Debating the way deaths are counted The debate over Covid's mortality rate hinges on what counts as a Covid death. Gandhi and other researchers argue that the daily death toll attributed to Covid is exaggerated because many deaths blamed on the disease are actually from other causes. Some of the people who died for other reasons happened to also test positive for the coronavirus. "We are now seeing consistently that more than 70% of our Covid hospitalizations are in that category," says Dr. Shira Doron, an infectious disease specialist and professor at Tufts University School of Medicine. "If you're counting them all as hospitalizations, and then those people die and you count them all as Covid deaths, you are pretty dramatically overcounting." If deaths were classified more accurately, than the daily death toll would be closer to the toll the flu takes during a typical season, Doron says. If this is true, the odds of a person dying if they get a Covid infection — what's called the case fatality rate — would be about the same as the flu now, which is estimated to be around 0.1%, or perhaps even lower.
In a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Thursday, researchers attempted to filter out other deaths to analyze mortality rates for people hospitalized "primarily for Covid-19." They find the death rate has dropped significantly in the omicron era, compared to the delta period.
But Fauci argues that it's difficult to distinguish between deaths that are caused "because of" Covid and those "with" Covid. The disease has been found to put stress on many systems of the body.
"What's the difference with someone who has mild congestive heart failure, goes into the hospital and gets Covid, and then dies from profound congestive heart failure?" he asks. "Is that with Covid or because of Covid? Covid certainly contributed to it."
The Covid-19 vaccines appear to be causing a global health disaster. There are so many warnings from all around the world. I'll list just a few in this column. But the U.S. media remains silent. They're as quiet as a church mouse. Why? Japan's Ministry of Health just announced that "the Moderna and Pfizer Covid vaccines could cause heart-related side effects in younger males." Health experts in Japan have witnessed skyrocketing rates of myocarditis and pericarditis in young men and teenagers. And they've seen the same nonstop heart issues with middle-aged and older individuals.
All over America, and all over the world, cardiac arrest, heart inflammation and heart attack deaths are exploding. Young athletes are dropping right on the field; star soccer players in Europe are dropping dead in the middle of games; referees, coaches and even fans in the stands are having cardiac emergencies. It's something no one has ever seen before. It's an epidemic. What do all these victims have in common? They've all been vaccinated. In America, the media is filled with reports of hospital emergency rooms and intensive care units overwhelmed with seriously ill patients. From coast to coast, there are so many sick people lined up that there aren't enough beds or nurses. Sick patients are lying on gurneys along the hallways. Doctors and medical experts call it a "mystery" why so many Americans are sick. They can't understand what's happening.
But I can solve the mystery. I believe that these are Covid-19 vaccine-related injuries overwhelming ERs and ICUs. The very illnesses that are most prevalent in this mysterious health emergency -- heart attack deaths, cardiac arrest, strokes, blood clots, multiple organ failure -- are all the same Covid-19 vaccine side effects listed in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
What a coincidence.
But it's not just in the USA. It's happening everywhere. In the U.K., the Evening Standard newspaper reports up to 300,000 British citizens are facing sudden heart related illness and cardiac arrest.
U.K. medical experts are blaming PPSD -- "post-pandemic stress disorder." Three hundred thousand Brits aren't dying and crippled from the vaccine. Of course not. They're all nuts. It's all in their heads.
These brainwashed Kool-Aid drinkers can't see what's right in front of their faces. Or perhaps doctors, scientists and researchers are too afraid of losing their medical licenses, or losing multimillion-dollar government grants, to speak up.
In the case of the media, it's all about greed. Big Pharma buys a large proportion of the ads on every TV news network in America. Offend Big Pharma with stories of vaccine deaths and injuries, and the media could lose billions of dollars in revenue. Half the newsroom could be fired.
Not to mention stock prices would collapse in these media companies. There go the retirement accounts of Lester Holt, Don Lemon, Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow. So, the truth is hard to come by.
What's the truth? All anyone with a shred of credibility, morality and decency have to look at are a few key factors.
First, the Food and Drug Administration has reportedly requested 75 years to fully release the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine data. If I told you to "Trust me, I'm selling the world's best health tonic, but I can't disclose any of the test results or ingredients for 75 years, until everyone asking is dead," would you trust me? Would you buy what I was selling? Would you inject it into your body?
Second, a federal judge demanded some of that data be released immediately by Pfizer. Just in the first few pages, detailing results from just the first few weeks of vaccines, Pfizer admits in their own data that their vaccine was linked to fatal outcomes for 1,223 Americans and produced 42,086 reports of adverse effects. Among the most prominent adverse effects were heart attacks and heart problems.
Third, the VAERS system is reporting a number of adverse ef...
Complications and adverse reactions occurring after administering mRNA Covid-19 vaccines have been anticipated by doctors based on data and studies going back 15 years, said Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet. When the Covid-19 vaccines were rolled out, it was already known that the toxicity of the spike protein and the toxicity of another component of the vaccine could cause complications such as inflammation, blood clots, and disruption of the immune system, Vliet said in a recent interview for EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program. “Over the first six months after the rollout of Covid-19 shots, I had a whole gamut of patients with all kinds of problems they had not had before,” she said, adding that the only common denominator of these cases was that they all had the Covid-19 vaccines. Vliet runs an independent medical practice.
“Most of these people are people that have been my patients for 20 or 25 years. I even have some that I’ve seen for 30 years. And I knew their medical history,” she said.
Among disorders that Vliet observed in her patients were cognitive issues, memory loss, brain fog, mini strokes, dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, and falling episodes.
The doctor mentioned two of her patients, a couple in their 70s who were healthy and fit and exercised regularly, walking 7 miles a day. They got the Covid-19 shot so they could travel to see their children and grandchildren.
Since then, the woman’s heart arrhythmia has been out of control and the man began having falling episodes that resulted in a broken hip, Vliet said.
Dr. Peter McCullough in New York on Dec. 24, 2021. (Jack Wang/The Epoch Times) Treating Covid-19 Vliet said that in her medical practice, she abides by a basic principle she learned in medical school: If what you’re doing is working, keep doing it. If what you’re doing isn’t working, stop doing it.
“And if the patient has new health problems, right after you’ve given them a treatment or a medicine or a shot, then consider that as the connecting link,” she said.
“Those principles are common sense. It’s basic medicine 101 … and it’s been true my whole career.”
Doctors generally stop administering a medicine when a patient shows side effects that they didn’t have before, to see if those reactions resolve, Vliet said. “The same is true with any vaccine.”
“I’ve seen patients over my career who’ve had adverse reactions to all the different vaccines,” Vliet said, adding that she herself has had vaccines in the past and has not experienced any adverse reactions.
“I’ve recommended them appropriately for patients over my career. But there are also times when vaccines simply aren’t needed. Covid was one of those.”
Covid-19 was not a lethal illness for those under 50 with no medical comorbidities, Vliet said. And for those over 50 or with medical comorbidities, Vliet used early treatment, and the disease “was very treatable,” she said.
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. (Courtesy of the Zelenko Freedom Foundation)
Vliet said she used a combination of older, safer medicines recommended by Drs. Vladimir Zelenko and Peter McCullough beginning in March 2020.
“I didn’t have any of my patients go in the hospital. I didn’t have anyone die,” she said. She did have some older patients with diabetes, obesity, and other medical conditions who were pretty sick with Covid-19, but she kept them out of the hospital with an aggressive combination of drug therapies recommended by McCullough.
“So vaccines are not always the answer to every problem,” she said, adding that for Covid-19, the best answer was early treatment.
But the government and the political agenda suppressed and persecuted doctors who were treating patients early with older and safer medicines, Vliet said.
Zelenko, a practicing physician in Monroe, New York, had treated 3,000 patients with Covid-19 symptoms with the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc sulfate, and only three of his patients with high-risk condit...
Beijing, Sep 14: Residents of a city in China's far west Xinjiang region say they are experiencing hunger, forced quarantines and dwindling supplies of medicine and daily necessities after more than 40 days in a virus lockdown. Hundreds of posts from Ghulja riveted users of Chinese social media last week, with residents sharing videos of empty fridges, feverish children, and people screaming from their windows. The dire conditions and food shortages are reminiscent of a harsh lockdown in Shanghai this spring, when thousands of residents posted online, complaining they were delivered rotting vegetables or denied critical medical care.
But unlike in Shanghai, a glittering, cosmopolitan metropolis of 20 million people and home to many foreigners, the harsh lockdowns in smaller cities such as Ghulja have received less attention.
As more infectious variants of the coronavirus creep into China, flare-ups have become increasingly common. Under China's zero-Covid strategy, tens of millions or people are experiencing rolling lockdowns, paralyzing the economy and making travel uncertain.
The lockdown in Ghulja is also evoking fears of police brutality among the Uyghurs, the Turkic ethnic group native to Xinjiang. For years, the region has been the target of a sweeping security crackdown, ensnaring huge numbers of Uyghurs and other largely Muslim minorities in a vast network of camps and prisons. An earlier lockdown in Xinjiang was particularly tough, with forced medication, arrests, and residents being hosed down with disinfectant.
Yasinuf, a Uyghur studying at a university in Europe, said his mother-in-law sent fearful voice messages this weekend saying she was being forced into centralized quarantine because of a mild cough. The officers coming for her reminded her, she said, of the time her husband was taken to a camp for over two years.
It's judgement day, she sighed, in an audio recording reviewed by The Associated Press. We don't know what's going to happen this time. All we can do now is to trust our creator. Food has been in short supply. Yasinuf said his parents told him they were running low on food supplies, despite having stocked up before the lockdown. With no deliveries, and barred from using their backyard ovens for fear of spreading the virus, his parents have been surviving on uncooked dough made of flour, water and salt. Yasinuf declined to give his surname for fear of retribution against his relatives. He hasn't been able to study or sleep in recent days, he said, because the thought of his relatives back in Ghulja keeps him up at night.
Their voices are always in my head, saying things like I'm hungry, please help us, he said. This is the 21st century, this is unthinkable.
Nyrola Elima, a Uyghur from Ghulja, said her father was rationing their dwindling supply of tomatoes, sharing one each day with her 93-year-old grandmother. Another relative, her aunt, was panicking because she lacked milk to feed her 2-year-old grandson.

Sheila Bath, a 60-something chef and life coach from Connecticut, first suspected she’d been injured by the single-dose Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Covid-19 vaccine on April 11, 2021 — exactly 14 days after she got the vaccine. In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Bath said her initial symptoms included a burning sensation running from her legs to her spine and numbness in her feet. The symptoms lasted for two months. “My legs were burning from my ankle all the way up to my lower spine on both sides. Burning, burning, burning,” Bath said. “My feet were numb. It was burning out the nerves in my legs and in my spine.” She said she also sustained “terrible bruising” on her extremities, dry mouth, worsening vision, inability to walk, cysts on her kidneys, gallstones in her bladder, calf cramps, muscle spasms, depression, brain fog and 20 lbs. of water-weight gain. These are “classical Guillain-Barré Syndrome symptoms,” Beth said.
Bath suspected the vaccine triggered the symptoms, but doctors were initially reluctant to draw the same conclusion.
Bath told The Defender:
“I didn’t know what Guillain-Barré was, but it’s a very well-known thing that you have to go directly to the hospital. And [my neurologist] could have sent me directly to the hospital. The neurologist neglected to follow the protocol of getting me into hospital when they could have cured it.” “Three times I went back to him and he sent me home,” she said, telling her, “There’s nothing wrong with you. You’ve got neuropathy because you’re older.” When Bath told her doctor the only explanation she could think of was that she’d been vaccinated two-and-a-half weeks ago, “He practically kicked me out of the office,” she said. “And then I called back a third time. I said, my legs are still burning up … can you help me? And they refused to see me.” Then things got worse.
More than a year after getting the J&J vaccine, Bath began to experience new symptoms, including partial digestive paralysis, which she said “means the Covid-19 spike protein [was] still alive, doing damage,” even though it is “supposed to be a dead virus, we were told.”
Doctors attributed the new symptoms to Crohn’s disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disorder, because Bath had a history of autoimmune disease.
But Bath disagreed with that diagnosis:
“I felt like saying, honey, I had Crohn’s when nobody knew Crohn’s, and I had to fight my way through that for 13 years. I said, that is not Crohn’s … That is the paralysis from the shot.”
Bath described being “chided and yelled at” by doctors for even suggesting her health troubles were related to the vaccine. According to her, it was not until she visited a naturopathic doctor that she finally received care, attention and a concrete diagnosis.
She said:
“I walked in, he took one look at me and he said, ‘I know what you got.’ [The] first time I saw him, he says, ‘you’ve got paralysis in your spine and in your legs. Did you take the [Johnson & Johnson vaccine] or what other one?’
“He said, ‘I’ve got an antidote for that, a homeopathic antidote for peristalsis.’ And sure enough, it worked. Now, did it work perfectly? No. But what it did do was save my life.”
According to Bath, when she shared the news of this successful treatment with her cardiologist, “She started screaming at me, this nice, gentle woman who isn’t even connected to the vaccine.” Forced to get vaccine by employer Bath was initially reluctant to get a Covid-19 vaccine, she said, but was required to get it for employment reasons.
She opted to receive the single-dose J&J vaccine because, “I figured, well, one [dose] is better than two.”
Although Bath acknowledged there was information available advising people with autoimmune conditions to avoid the J&J vaccine, she said she was “in remission for 20 years through natural means.”
But she also believes she wouldn’t necessarily have been better off getting the Pfizer or some other Covid-19 va...
In the largest study to date on myocarditis deaths related to Covid-19 vaccination, researchers found that 100 people in England died of myocarditis soon after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine. The study, published Aug. 22 in the American Heart Association’s journal, Circulation, found more than half (51) of the deaths occurred within 1 to 28 days after receiving a dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and just under half (49) of the deaths occurred within 1 to 28 days after a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
The AstraZeneca vaccine, not authorized for use in the U.S., uses an adenovirus technology similar to that used by Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J), or Janssen) Covid-19 vaccine, which is authorized for emergency use in the U.S.
Prior research has underscored the risk of fatal myocarditis associated with the mRNA technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines. This study showed the technology used in AstraZeneca’s vaccine poses a similar risk.
Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist and cardiologist in Dallas, Texas, in a Sept. 15 tweet highlighted the importance of the new study.
“This study confirms the risk of myocarditis extends to both mRNA vaccines and the adenovirus vaccines,” McCullough told The Defender.
The technology used in AstraZeneca and J&J viral vector vaccines, as The Defender previously reported, causes cells to produce the spike protein, but in a different way than the mRNA shots.
The technology uses a familiar virus — adenovirus — which is a common cause of respiratory infections. The DNA in the adenovirus is modified so that when it enters the host cell, it causes the cell’s own machinery to produce the spike protein.
The adenovirus also is modified so it cannot replicate itself, which is why it is called a replication-defective recombinant adenoviral vector vaccine. How the study was conducted The team of 14 researchers — led by Martina Patone, Ph.D., a data scientist and medical statistician at the University of Oxford — analyzed data for people ages 13 and older who were vaccinated against Covid-19 in England between Dec. 1, 2020, and Dec. 15, 2021.
The authors evaluated the association between vaccination and myocarditis for different ages and sex groups by tracking hospital admissions and deaths from myocarditis by age and gender and in relation to how many doses of a vaccine the person received.
In England, the three Covid-19 vaccines given to people at that time were the Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines.
Roughly 20 million people got the AstraZeneca vaccine, 20 million got the Pfizer vaccine, and just over 1 million got the Moderna vaccine.
Over the period of the study, 345 patients were admitted to the hospital for myocarditis within 1 to 28 days of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine, the authors said.
Among those admitted to the hospital for myocarditis who recently received the AstraZeneca vaccine, the researchers counted 40 deaths due to myocarditis within 1 to 28 days after a first dose and 11 deaths due to myocarditis within 1 to 28 days after a second dose.
For those who received the Pfizer vaccine, 22 individuals died of myocarditis within 1 to 28 days of receiving their first dose, 14 died of myocarditis within 1 to 28 days of receiving a second dose and 13 died of myocarditis within 1 to 28 days of receiving a third dose.
The researchers reported no cases of fatal myocarditis among those who recently received the Moderna vaccine.
However, when they used statistical methods to estimate an “incidence rate ratio” to describe how often people reported myocarditis following vaccination, they found an increased risk of developing myocarditis following all three vaccine types — especially after a second dose of the Moderna vaccine.
Following a second dose of the Moderna vaccine, they said, the increased risk ratio for developing myocarditis was 11.76 (95% CI, 7.25-19.08).

The government of New Zealand abruptly ended most Covid mandates recently, tacitly acknowledging that none of their restrictions work. New Zealand had been one of the most draconian countries on earth with regards to mask and vaccine mandates. They hung onto mandates long after most parts of the world had moved on. They continued to enforce them deep into 2022.
Prime Minister Jacinda Arden previously said that no one should listen to anything other than what the government tells them when it comes to Covid:
New Zealand reverses course on mandates But now, according to Reuters, the sole arbiter of truth has declared that Covid restrictions are ready to come to an end: “Finally, rather than feeling that Covid dictates what happens to us, our lives, and our futures, we take back control.”
“For the first time in two years we can approach summer with the much needed certainty New Zealanders and business need, helping to drive greater economic activity critical to our economic recovery.” Mask mandates have been dropped outside of healthcare and elder care facilities. Vaccine mandates to enter the country have also been lifted. This, well over a year after it was abundantly clear that vaccines did nothing to slow the spread.
The country’s obsessive focus on “controlling” the virus led to disturbing police crackdowns on dissent that were defended by Arden.
Their strategy of closing down to the world until vaccines became widely available was also a failure. Deaths in the country surged with mask mandates and one of the world’s highest vaccination and booster rates:
Mandates are ineffective By ending requirements now, even as cases remain substantially higher than they previously were, the government is admitting that they’re entirely unable to “control” Covid.
While the country’s entering its spring and summer period, cases will almost certainly remain low. But more concerning, is what happens when fall and winter return. Or if a new variant emerges, and cases rise once again?
The true test of whether society will actually move on from mandates won’t be faced until further increases are ignored.
Mandates are completely ineffective, and the end of useless restrictions on normal life are always a cause for celebration.
Yet when politicians like Arden truly believe they work, it’s hard to feel safe that mandates will ever fully be a relic of a delusional, anti-science past. Continue reading on www.outkick.com
The title of the article was apparently edited in a hurry post-publication because Google News still lists it as “How Bill Gates and his partners took over the global Covid response”. Here’s the archive link to the original article with “Bill Gates” in the title — proving it was later edited in a hurry.
Even the article URL lists Bill Gates: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/14/global-covid-pandemic-response-bill-gates-partners-00053969 The article would be fascinating to read for people who were not previously aware of what most of us knew already — that the so-called “pandemic response” and global health are taken over by unaccountable private interest groups serving Bill Gates.
I highly recommend that you take a look!
The story given by the article is incomplete but very interesting.
It mentions that the pandemic response was taken over by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI, CEPI, and the Wellcome Trust. All four organizations pretend to be independent, but all were financed by Bill Gates.
They participated in Event 201, planning out the pandemic, in October 2019.
“What makes Bill Gates qualified to be giving advice and advising the U.S. government on where they should be putting the tremendous resources?” asked Kate Elder, senior vaccines policy adviser for the Doctors Without Borders’ Access Campaign.
Several important items are glaringly missing from the article:
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with the US government (Avril Haines representing the US intelligence community) and China CDC, planned out the pandemic in October of 2019 by means of an “exercise” called Event 201. Sars-Cov-2 is lab engineered and was designed intentionally As pointed out by our astute reader Mel, do not forget the 3.1 million shares of BioNTech that Gates bought in Sept 2019 for $18.10/share. That $55 million investment was worth $1.7 billion by Aug 2021.https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1776985/000119312519241112/d635330dex1036.htm Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation financed the organization that developed Sars-Cov-2 (EcoHealth Alliance) via grant INV-002838, and possibly more.

Nevertheless, the mere publication of this article has huge importance. The things that most of us know and talk about, are appearing in the so-called “mainstream press” — after the damage was all done, of course.
The virus was released; millions died; over a billion young people were force-vaccinated under false pretenses. When it is too late to change anything, Politico is finally stating the obvious. Still, it is better than nothing.
Almost everything in the Politico article was known a year ago. Where was Politico then? Busy taking government covid vaccine advertising money.
The pandemic was a crime, not an accident. Continue reading on igorchudov.substack.com
A V-day hero who gave one of the first interviews in the Covid-19 jab rollout has died aged 92. Martin Kenyon was hailed a national treasure after being interviewed outside Guy’s Hospital in London after becoming one of the first people in the world to receive the Pfizer jab.
When asked about his experience on CNN in December 2020, Mr Kenyon said: “I couldn’t damn well find anywhere to park my car, so I was late.”
Mr Kenyon’s daughters Eliza and Nina have now announced that the former Overseas Students Trust director and anti-Apartheid campaigner died peacefully at home on Wednesday morning.
Guy's Hospital WikiCommons
The daughters said: “Our beloved, unique, impossible, wonderful Pa died on Wednesday morning last.
“Thank you for being part of his London life. Having lived here since 1975, the root system is deep, and the connections are strong.
“And of course, he now travels in the good company of Queen Elizabeth II, which he would be very glad about.”
The pair added that they had already informed the pensioner’s neighbors of his death.
Eliza said that Mr Kenyon, a former officer in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, met Queen Elizabeth II in the 1980s.
She added to the MailOnline: “He went to a reception at Buckingham Palace and Pa was presented to the Queen.
“At the time, he was lobbying quite hard for sanctions against South Africa when the Thatcher government was opposing them.
“He told us how when he was presented to the Queen, she tapped her nose and said, ‘I'm playing my part behind the scenes too, Mr. Kenyon’.” Continue reading on www.gbnews.uk
Denmark has banned the Covid-19 vaccine for most people under 50, the Danish Health Authority said yesterday. Denmark already discontinued Covid-19 shots for nearly everyone under 18.
Under the new regulations, Danes under 50 will only be inoculated if they are “higher risk of becoming severely [emphasis added] from Covid-19.”
The Danish Health Authority has not yet defined those groups. It could include those receiving cancer treatments that suppress their immune systems, according to independent journalist Alex Berenson. Pregnant women are unlikely to be included.
According to health officials, the purpose of vaccines is to prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death. “Therefore, people at the highest risk of of becoming severely ill will be offered booster vaccination,” the Danish Health Authority says.
“The purpose of vaccination is not to prevent infection with Covid-19, and people under 50 are therefore currently not being offered booster vaccination.” The statement goes on to say that people under 50 are generally not at high risk of becoming severely ill from Covid.
“In addition, younger people aged under 50 are well protected against becoming severely ill from covid-19, as a very large number of them have already been vaccinated and have previously been infected with covid-19, and there is consequently good immunity among this part of the population.”
The ban comes even while Denmark expects “a large wave of [Covid] infection” in the next few months.
Berenson reports that Denmark did not explicitly say the risks of mRNA jabs now outweigh their benefits for healthy people under 50, but that view “is implicit in the announcement.” In other words, the health authority is not stopping shots because Covid has ended. It now believes most people are better off getting the coronavirus than taking more mRNA,” he wrote. The announcement comes as other countries make similar steps to limit Covid-19 vaccine access.
The UK has banned doctors from giving the Covid-19 vaccine to children under 12, saying kids don’t need it and they likely already have natural immunity.
The UK government also released a report stating that pregnant and breastfeeding women should under no circumstance get the Pfizer Covid vaccine due to a lack of trial data on the vaccine’s effect on reproductive health.
In Canada, health authorities continue to encourage parents to vaccinate their babies and kids, even while the former Chair of National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) admitted last month that Covid is less deadly to kids than the flu.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently said he might impose more Covid restrictions this winter unless 80-90% of the population gets “up-to-date” vaccinations.
To be fully vaccinated in Canada previously meant having two doses of a Health Canada-approved vaccine. The Canadian federal government is now applying pressure for citizens to get regular Covid-19 boosters.
In September, NACI announced that Canadians might consider getting a vaccine every 90 days. Continue reading on thecountersignal.com
Almost two years ago, community measures including lockdowns to suppress Covid transmission had widespread support, with a movement (“Covid Zero”) that promoted more draconian measures, hoping to eliminate Covid altogether. Schools, institutions of higher learning and businesses were shuttered. Even playgrounds and outdoor washrooms were closed, and youths simply enjoying outdoor summer parties were vilified. Most of these measures were ineffective, many were harmful. Has anything been learned from these mistakes or will they be repeated the next time case counts go up? We have some thoughts for the future.
It is time to accept that Covid-19 cannot be stopped and will continue to evolve. Full faith was first placed in the vaccine, and then in boosters as “our way out of the pandemic.” However, the vaccines don’t stop infections of transmission as much as originally hoped — nor do boosters. The Covid Zero movement is dead, and many early proponents have recanted. It is impossible to stop a virus that spreads before symptoms appear, and with super-spreader events that can infect most people in a room.
The other challenge is that Covid reinvents itself quickly. As one strain transmits through the community, population immunity emerges and the next strain is selected to keep itself going — this is viral evolution.
It’s like the iPhone: when the market gets saturated with the latest version, a new one is released to fill the void. Right now, the variant with the longest run has been Omicron, with its relatives (BA.4/5) now in circulation.
How long the Omicron run will last is anyone’s guess: more Omicron variants, or a completely new variant could take over soon. How long before the newly released bivalent vaccine, targeting the original Covid and Omicron strains, is also out of date?
Additional vaccine doses should be tailored to the specific circumstances of the person, not a “one-size-fits-all” solution. One thing has remained constant since the pandemic began: the young and healthy under age 50 seldom have severe outcomes from Covid-19, so guidance on vaccination should be tailored to age, immunity and risk factors.
While a very small number of people remain vulnerable, either prior infection, or vaccines received many months ago still prevent serious outcomes for almost everyone — that’s what matters most to protect the health-care system.
Even our higher risk elderly are seeing disease that is less severe than what we see with other common viruses, including other coronaviruses. The mortality rate for those in elder care homes was eight per cent with other (non-Covid) coronaviruses, similar to what we see with Covid now.
Likewise, it is folly to believe that more vaccination uptake (adult rates in Canada are at 91 per cent for two doses), or that more booster doses of the latest bivalent vaccine will stop transmission or the emergence of new variants.
This is because vaccine protection for infection falls off (wanes) within a few months following a dose. Consider the latest NACI guidance regarding boosters being needed every three or six months: Dosing this frequently is unlikely to further lower hospitalizations and will be very hard to accomplish — coverage rates of third and fourth doses for those under age 40 are well below 50 per cent and five per cent respectively.
As discussed in a recent New England Journal of Medicine article, it is also impractical to give boosters more than once a year. While it is tempting to blame new variants on low vaccine uptake, this causal link is far from clear. Evolutionary dynamics, especially with fast-mutating coronaviruses, make the emergence of new variants inevitable, regardless of vaccination rates.
There’s a bigger picture issue here: in 2020, Covid had a more significant health-care system surge impact than other respiratory viruses. By 2022, with significant population natural immunity, vaccine immunity, or both this is no longer the case.
The Rockefeller Foundation, the National Science Foundation (an “independent” agency of the U.S. government) and other nonprofits are pouring millions of dollars into a research initiative “to increase uptake of Covid-19 vaccines and other recommended public health measures by countering mis- and disinformation.” In conjunction with the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), the Rockefeller Foundation last month announced $7.2 million in funding for the Mercury Project, initially launched in November 2021, under the slogan, “Together, we can build a healthier information environment.”
The funds will support 12 teams of researchers in 17 countries who will conduct studies on “ambitious, applied social and behavioral science to combat the growing global threat posed by low Covid-19 vaccination rates and public health mis- and disinformation,” the Rockefeller Foundation said.
The Rockefeller Foundation and the SSRC claim the aim of the Mercury Project, whose name is derived from the ancient Roman god of messages and communication, is to bolster public health and safety.
However, some critics described the project as one based on “propaganda” aimed at “nudging” the unvaccinated to get vaccinated. Creating ‘behavioral change’ by targeting schoolchildren and specific socio-economic groups Behavioral change lies at the heart of the Mercury Project, which will issue three-year research grants to estimate “the causal impacts of mis- and disinformation on online and offline outcomes in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic,” including “differential impacts across socio-demographic groups.”
The research will include “interventions that target the producers or the consumers of mis- and disinformation, or that increase confidence in reliable information.” Some of the “interventions” proffered by the Rockefeller Foundation include “literacy training for secondary school students” to “help students identify Covid-19 vaccine misinformation,” “equipping trusted messengers with communication strategies to increase Covid-19 vaccination demand” and “using social networks to share tailored, community-developed messaging to increase Covid-19 vaccination demand.” This information will, according to the Rockefeller Foundation, “provide evidence about what works — and doesn’t — in specific places and for specific groups to increase Covid-19 vaccination take-up.”
But according to ZeroHedge, the research groups funded by the Mercury Project “are operating with the intent to tailor vaccination narratives to fit different ethnic and political backgrounds, looking for the key to the gates of each cultural kingdom and convincing them to take the jab.”
The project uses “ambiguous language and mission statements” to at least partially conceal the project’s main purpose of “using behavioral psychology and mass psychology elements to understand the global resistance to the recent Covid compliance efforts,” ZeroHedge reported. ‘Fabricating effective Covid propaganda’ a ‘money train’ for behavioral researchers and psychologists In November 2021, the Mercury Project received an initial $7.5 million in seed funding from entities including the Rockefeller Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Craig Newmark Philanthropies and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to apply “the principles of large-scale, team-based science to the problem of vaccination demand” over a three-year period.
As of August 2022, these entities have funded the Mercury Project to the tune of $10.25 million.
In June, the project received $20 million from the National Science Foundation to study “interventions to increase Covid-19 vaccination demand and other positive health behaviors.”
The SSRC’s latest call for proposals, under the aegis of the Mercury Project, received nearly 200 submissions.
The accepted proposals come from researchers in countries including the U.S., Canada, Côte d’Ivoire, England, France, Ghana, Haiti, Kenya, India, Malawi,
An NYPD cop who sued over the city’s Covid vaccine mandate can’t be fired for not having the jab — according to a new “precedent-setting” ruling that could help over 20 other police officers in their cases, The Post has learned. A Manhattan judge said Officer Alexander Deletto, 43, should be allowed to keep his job, noting in a Tuesday ruling that the city gave the Brooklyn cop no explanation for why it rejected his religious exemption application.
This is the first such ruling in an NYPD officer’s case fighting their possible firing over the mandate, according to attorney James Mermigis, who is representing Deletto and has been dubbed “the anti-shutdown” lawyer for taking on a slew of pandemic-related litigation. “It’s a precedent-setting case,” Mermigis said of Deletto’s lawsuit. “It’s the first of its kind.” The city first denied the request for religious exemption from Deletto, who is Catholic, on Feb. 15, and later shot down his appeal with only “does not meet criteria” given as an explanation, according to his lawsuit.
“The hollow and generic phrase ‘does not meet criteria’ cannot be rational because not a single item particular to [Deletto] was discussed and not a single reason for the decision was given,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arlene Bluth ruled.
“There is no indication that anybody even read [Deletto’s] arguments,” the judge wrote, adding, “It is the duty of the agency to explain why it made the decision.”
Deletto — a nine year veteran of the force who works out of the 88th Precinct in Clinton Hill — filed suit the day before he was set to be fired on Aug. 5 for not getting vaccinated.
The judge overturned the city’s denial of Deletto’s request for religious exemption finding they didn’t give any explanation.
Bluth then granted a temporary restraining order, allowing the father of five to stay on the force pending her decision. “His biggest concern when he wandered into my office in early August was how he was going to support his children,” Mermigis told The Post Wednesday. “He didn’t know what he was going to do, but under no circumstances was he going to betray his religious beliefs.” Mermigis said his client was “elated” at the judge’s decision that he can keep his job and remain unvaccinated.
“He feels vindicated,” the attorney said, adding that Deletto can now breathe “a big sigh of relief.”
Mermigis has filed more than 20 cases on behalf of cops opposing their termination for not getting the jab.
“My goal is to keep them employed,” Mermigis said of the officers he represents. “The last thing we need is to fire more cops when there is an acceleration of crime.
“These are people that were heroes during Covid that put their own safety at risk to help the city of New York and this is how the mayor treats them?” he said. “It’s an absolute disgrace.”
The attorney said he’s hopeful the decision will help in his other cases — since those cops also were not given explanations for why their religious exemption requests were denied.
“It was so thoroughly analyzed by the judge. In my opinion, it’s appeal-proof,” though Mermigis said he suspects the city will appeal anyway.
As of July, more than 1,750 city workers were fired for not getting the Covid-19 vaccine – including at least 36 within the NYPD.
A spokesman from the city Law Department said: “A court has previously upheld the NYPD’s reasonable accommodation process, ruling it complies with all applicable laws.
“Both the NYPD and a citywide appeals panel carefully reviewed this officer’s accommodation request. The city is reviewing this decision and is considering its options.”
The NYPD and City Hall deferred comment to the Law Department.

Some transplant recipients are rejecting their new organ and scientists say the coronavirus vaccine may be to blame. According to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, acute corneal allografts are being rejected by immunized patients who’ve undergone the procedure. Researchers say the underlying cause could be tied to a systemic inflammatory response elicited by the shot post-jab.
The cornea is the outermost layer of a person’s eye. Corneal grafts are used to restore a damaged cornea. The surgery is known to be one of the most successful organ transplant procedures with low rejection rates. It restores vision, reduces eye pain and improves the appearance of the diseased cornea.
Japanese researchers compiled data from 23 studies. A total of 23 eyes from 21 patients who had undergone corneal graft procedures were assessed. Graft rejection occurred anywhere from one day to six weeks after vaccination in all patients–some who underwent the procedure as far back as twenty years ago. “As the virus continues to spread, additional booster Covid-19 vaccines are expected,” study authors wrote in the paper. “Therefore, proper follow-up of corneal allograft recipients and interventions to prevent corneal allograft rejection after they received the Covid-19 may be crucial.” Among the list of emerging complications linked to the vaccine are blood clots, heart inflammation and Guillain-Barre syndrome.

The US Navy quietly rolled back Trident Order #12, an order denying religious exemptions for Covid vaccinations, a few months after an injunction was issued by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in early 2022 as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by First Liberty Institute. The suit was initiated on behalf of 35 active-duty SEALS and three reservists seeking exemptions to the mandate due to the possibility of Covid vaccines being developed using cells and tissues from aborted fetuses.
This information has only become publicly available after a new filing in the case this week. Trident Order #12 made any non-compliant SEALS and other troops impossible to deploy and designated them as medically disqualified.
This development runs in tandem with a growing trend among government institutions; they back away from their original draconian mandates but in a manner that reduces media exposure and avoids any admission that the mandates are unconstitutional.
A communication order was circulated by the Navy on May 23 with the subject: "NSWC CLOSEOUT TO TRIDENT ORDER #12 - MANDATORY VACCINATION FOR Covid-19." NSWC refers to the Naval Special Warfare Command: "This order rescinds reference A," it states, referring to "Ref A" as "Trident Order #12 on Covid-19 Vaccinations."
The May 23 communication order also said Navy commands "will continue to follow guidance, as appropriate, regarding Covid-19 vaccination, accommodation requests, and mitigation measures." The Navy along with every other branch of the US military is facing a severe recruitment crisis, with a record low number of Americans eligible to serve. In particular, far too many potential recruits are unable to meet the physical requirements to complete basic training. This has led to discussions on lowering standards, but even this would not solve low recruitment numbers for special operations and SEALS, which require highly capable candidates regardless.
An implosion in recruitment may have partially contributed to the Navy's abandonment of vax restrictions, along with the flood of scientific evidence showing that the vaccines make very little difference in immunity and mortality, especially for young and fit individuals, when compared to natural immunity. Numerous studies show superior immunity among unvaxxed people that have already had Covid.
The US government continues to refuse to acknowledge natural immunity as an acceptable status for the military or federal employees, though their attempts to enforce proof of vaccination (vaccine passports) have all but failed anyway. Continue reading on www.zerohedge.com
A parents' rights group called the Oregon Moms Union on Monday filed a petition to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to repeal OAR 333-019-1030 which mandates a Covid-19 vaccination for teachers and school staff. "Children are required to attend school, which is a congregate setting where Covid-19 can spread easily if precautions are not taken. Covid-19 undergoes frequent mutations as it replicates, which over time has resulted in variants that are more transmissible or cause more severe disease," OHA stated under the OAR 333-019-1030 policy.
Back in August 19, 2021, Gov. Kate Brown announced healthcare workers and all teachers, educators, support staff, and volunteers in K-12 schools would need to be fully vaccinated.
Oregon Moms Union claimed that "this rule is exacerbating public education staffing shortages by banning qualified teachers, staff, and volunteer parents from classrooms for not being vaccinated."
The petition was filed by the Oregon Moms Union President and Founder MacKensey Pulliam. The petition blasts the OHA’s mandate for contradicting "CDC guidance." The petition goes on to say that CDC guidance "no longer differentiates between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals when it comes to testing and isolation, therefore vaccinations should not be a requirement for teachers, staff, and volunteers."
The petition is part of a process to review the validity of OHA's vaccine mandate.

"The CDC guidance has changed since this rule was implemented and they no longer differentiate between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals," said Pulliam in a press release. "Parents are asking why this outdated rule is still in effect when we need to prioritize getting teachers the support they need and giving parents the ability to get back into the classroom to get our kids caught up."
The petition seeks to force OHA to repeal the "outdated rule" on "behalf of parents and students. A public comment period where OHA will collect public feedback will be available. Continue reading on www.foxnews.com
A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) shows not only that the effectiveness of the Pfizer Covid vaccine becomes negative (meaning the vaccinated are more likely to be infected than the unvaccinated) within five months but that the vaccine destroys any protection a person has from natural immunity. The study is a large observational study that looks at 887,193 children aged 5 to 11 years in North Carolina, of whom 273,157 (30.8%) received at least one dose of Pfizer vaccine between November 1st 2021 and June 3rd 2022. The study includes 193,346 SARS-CoV-2 infections reported between March 11th 2020 and June 3rd 2022.
The researchers used a form of statistical modelling with adjustments for confounding factors (such as underlying conditions) to calculate estimates of vaccine effectiveness over time and against the different Covid variants.
The findings are depicted in the charts below. In chart A, notice that the green and blue lines, representing children vaccinated in November and December respectively, go through zero into negative territory at a sharp gradient within five months of the first injection.
It’s unclear why the green line is not continued past April, as the researchers presumably had the data, but from what is shown it looks very much like the vaccine effectiveness will continue declining deep into negative territory.
In chart B, we see both the red and blue lines – which represent children who are vaccinated and have been previously infected and not previously infected respectively – again going through zero at a steep gradient within five months of vaccination.
The fact that the vaccinated who have natural immunity from previous infection also see negative effectiveness is a surprise as one would not expect those with natural immunity to be more susceptible to infection than those without it.
Charts C and D suggest that it is the vaccine that is causing this worrying erasure of natural immunity. Chart D shows the effectiveness of natural immunity from previous infection among the vaccinated. Notice that the blue line, which is protection against the Delta variant among the vaccinated-and-previously-infected, hits zero at a steep gradient within seven months.
Now look at the blue line in chart C, which is protection against Delta in the previously infected and unvaccinated. It, too, is waning, but much more slowly, and after eight months it is still very much in positive territory at over 50%.
The same can be said for natural immunity against earlier variants (green line), which wanes slowly and remains positive after 16 months. Why is natural immunity remaining protective for the unvaccinated, whereas in the vaccinated their ‘protection’ goes negative even if they have natural immunity?
This is very disturbing because it suggests not only that the vaccines give negative ‘protection’ after a few months but also that they destroy the protection that should have been provided by natural immunity.
The unvaccinated keep their protection from previous infection but the vaccinated end up with negative efficacy even if they’ve been previously infected. This means the vaccines appear to demolish a person’s natural immunity and leave him or her more vulnerable to infection than he or she was before. Continue reading on dailysceptic.org
The Lancet is facing a backlash after a major Covid-19 Commission report suggested the disease may have leaked from a laboratory in the United States. Published on Wednesday, the paper said it remains “feasible” that Sars-Cov-2 emerged from either a natural spillover or a laboratory incident, and called for the introduction of more safeguards to reduce the risk of either eventuality.
But the report, the result of two years of work, also suggested American researchers could be culpable. As well as mentioning facilities in Wuhan, it noted that “independent researchers have not yet investigated” US labs, and said the National Institutes of Health has “resisted disclosing details” of its work.
The report comes as controversy swirls the commission chair, the economist Prof Jeffrey Sachs.
At a conference in Madrid earlier this year, he said he was “pretty convinced” that Sars-Cov-2 “came out of a US lab of biotechnology, not out of nature” – a claim that has since been widely promoted by Chinese diplomats.
In August, Prof Sachs also appeared on a podcast hosted by Robert F Kennedy, Jr – one of the world’s most prominent anti-vaccine commentators – to discuss his beliefs, just days after Instagram and Facebook suspended an account led by Mr Kennedy for repeatedly sharing what the platforms said was Covid misinformation, especially around vaccines ‘Shameful moment’ Experts said Prof Sachs actions have overshadowed much of the robust research and recommendations within the 58-page report, and criticised the Lancet for resisting calls to remove him.
“Sachs’ appearance on RFK Jr’s podcast… undermines the seriousness of the Lancet Commission’s mission to the point of completely negating it,” said Prof Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization in Canada. “This may be one of the Lancet’s most shameful moments regarding its role as a steward and leader in communicating crucial findings about science and medicine,” she said, adding that she was “pretty shocked at how flagrantly” the report ignores key evidence on Covid origins. Prof David Robertson, of the University of Glasgow’s Centre for Virus Research, added: “It’s really disappointing to see such a potentially influential report contributing to further misinformation on such an important topic.”
“It’s true we’ve details to understand on the side of natural origins, for example the exact intermediate species involved, but that doesn’t mean there’s… any basis to the wild speculation that US labs were involved,” he added.
When approached by the Telegraph, Prof Sachs stood by his previous comments, adding that he personally “oversaw this part of the work” on the emergence of Sars-Cov-2. Last summer he disbanded an initial task force led by Dr Peter Daszak amid concerns it was too biased towards the natural origin hypothesis.
It was never re-formed, but Prof Sachs said commissioners had “consulted widely and met with a number of scientists”.
“Everybody has signed off on the final text. The question of a possible laboratory release mostly involves the question of US-China joint work that was underway on Sars-like viruses,” he said.
But Prof Peter Hotez, a member of the Lancet Commission and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, said there had been “diverse views” and that he had “pushed hard on removing” mention of US labs in the report because it was “a distraction”.
He added that he had been “speechless” when Prof Sachs appeared on Mr Kennedy’s podcast. Countries still lack 'meaningful' pandemic plans Discussion around the origins of Sars-Cov-2 was only a small element of the report, and experts said the rest of the paper was based on robust research.
The report found the Covax scheme was hampered by science policy and implementation failures, warned most countries still lack “meaningful” pandemic preparedness plans,
One of the accepted side-effects of the Covid vaccines is increased risk of myocarditis. This risk was first identified in a leaked report produced for the Israeli Government, which was followed by several months of the denial of any link by the vaccine manufacturers and various governments until eventually the evidence for this side-effect became overwhelming and it was added to the growing list of official side-effects.
Of course, once a potential risk of myocarditis was identified there were some attempts by epidemiologists to sift though available data to try to identify the impact of this risk on the vaccinated population. The most recent paper to study this side-effect appeared in late August out of the Nuffield Department of Medicine in Oxford Radcliffe hospital by a team led by Julia Hippisley-Cox. This paper purports to show that the risk of myocarditis following vaccination is much lower than the risk following infection with Covid and that the risk of myocarditis following infection in the vaccinated is much lower than the risk in the unvaccinated.
Thus the paper implies that the vaccines are appropriate to use even with this ‘rare’ side-effect. However, there are some complexities in the paper that warrant further attention.
My main concern with the Hippisley-Cox paper is that it is based on the results of a self-control study. With this methodology, the baseline data (i.e., the rate of myocarditis that you’d expect without the vaccines) are gathered from the same individuals as took the vaccine, only outside of the ‘risk window’ that is said to be associated with the vaccines.
This methodology is well established and has many advantages, the most important of which being that so long as the study is well designed there is only a low risk of bias because the same group of individuals acts as its own control. The ‘so long as the study is well designed’ in the previous sentence is, however, crucial: pivotal in the design assumption is that the risk window contains all of the additional risk and that the risk returns to baseline outside of this window. If this condition doesn’t obtain then the incidence in the ‘control group’ will be elevated and this will reduce the apparent excess in the ‘treatment group’.
For the Hippisley-Cox paper the main assumption is spelt out in the methods section (emphasis added):
We defined the exposure risk intervals as the following prespecified time periods: 0, 1-7, 8-14, 15-21 and 22-28 days after each exposure date, under the assumption that the adverse events under consideration are unlikely to be related to exposure later than 28 days after exposure.
The pertinent question, then, is: is this assumption correct? Let’s have a look at the risks identified in the paper for the 28 days following the first dose of vaccine, split into four week periods.
To be clear – if the paper’s assumption that all of the vaccine risk occurs within the four weeks following vaccination then we should see a gradually falling risk over the four week period, preferably to a relative risk of 1.0 (no additional risk) by week 4. Arguably we do see this pattern for the “All, AstraZeneca” data – it appears that most of the risk is in the first week following vaccination, the risk drops away to a halfway point by week two and falls to around 1.0 for weeks three and four.
However, the data for the Pfizer vaccine are far less clear – I suggest that it looks more like the risk starts to fall away (e.g. see the “all” and “men” bar-charts) but then bounces back for week four post-vaccination. The fact that the ‘bounce’ appears for women given the AstraZeneca vaccine even suggests that this might be a common factor for all vaccines, but the pattern appears strongest for the Pfizer data.
Further investigation into the Pfizer vaccine specifically suggests that this pattern is fairly reliable, with only younger women not showing the bounce.
In Hong Kong, stringent Covid-19 curbs have long made life for school students extremely hard. Now, a new rule requiring higher vaccination levels could upend what progress has been made towards resuming full-day in-person classes. Further delays to normal school life are likely to exacerbate youth mental health problems as well as give more people reason to leave the city, further undermining its status as an Asian financial hub, educators and business leaders warn. “There is so much uncertainty over whether classes are going to be cancelled, can the kids go to school? The school uncertainty is definitely helping to drive people away and it makes it hard to attract people to Hong Kong,” said Robert Quinlivan, head of the city’s Australian business chamber. Some 30,000 students withdrew from Hong Kong schools in the last academic year and more than 5,000 teachers resigned, according to government data.
Many are part of an exodus kickstarted by Beijing’s efforts to exert greater control over the city and which has been further fueled by Covid-19 curbs. About 113,000 residents left the former British colony in the first half of 2022. That includes expats and local families, many of whom have taken advantage of visa schemes offered by Britain, Canada, and Australia.
Aiming to boost the city’s vaccination rates, authorities this month stipulated that after November 1, secondary schools can only conduct full-day in-person classes if 90% of students have had three Covid shots.
Meeting that target before then will be very difficult for many schools, teachers told Reuters, declining to be identified as they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The most immediate impact will be on international schools, which recently resumed full-day in-person classes, having gained levels of 90% for students with two Covid-19 shots. Local schools and some international primary schools are still limited to half-day in-person and half-day online classes due to lower vaccination rates. ‘Sense of doom’ Schools offering up overseas curricula have traditionally been a big draw for the expat professionals that Hong Kong relies on for its reputation as a cosmopolitan finance and business hub close to China.
With a population of 7.3 million, the city has more than 70 international schools. By comparison in Japan, Tokyo and Yokohama with a combined population of around 18 million have 40-odd.
Students in Hong Kong, who have done much of their learning online for the past two and a half years, are feeling defeated and there’s a “sense of doom” in the schools, said Leo, 27, a former high school teacher. He quit his job in July, fed up with restrictions imposed by the city’s adoption of China’s Covid-zero strategy that seeks to stamp out all outbreaks. “The constant shifts between face-to-face and online classes have really taken a toll on their will to learn,” Leo added, asking that only his first name be used. He now works overseas as a flight attendant. Though there is variation from school to school, other rules being imposed on students include requiring whole swimming classes (where masks are not worn) to quarantine if one child becomes infected and banning eating on school premises for kids with half-day in-person classes. Some students with full-day classes are not allowed to bring food that requires utensils, while all children from the age of two have to wear masks outside their homes.
The manifold curbs run counter to global efforts to “live with virus.” Hong Kong school kids also have had to deal with much longer periods of school disruptions than mainland China, which has imposed some draconian lockdowns but has also had long Covid-free periods.
The restrictions are almost certainly having an impact on mental health, educators and medical experts said.
More than half of about 3,600 Hong Kong secondary school students showed signs of depression, according to a November study by the city’s Federation of Youth ...
Death claims for working-age adults under group life insurance policies spiked well beyond expected levels last summer and fall, according to data from 20 of the top 21 life insurance companies in the United States.
Death claims for adults aged 35 to 44 were 100 percent higher than expected in July, August, and September 2021, according to a report by the Society of Actuaries, which analyzed 2.3 million death claims submitted to life insurance firms.
The report looked at death claims filed under group life insurance policies during the 24 months of the Covid-19 pandemic, from April 2020 to March 2022. The researchers used data from the three years before the pandemic to set a baseline for the expected deaths.
While Covid-19 played some role in the majority of the excess deaths for adults over the age of 34 during the two pandemic years, the opposite was true for younger people. For people 34 and younger, the number of excess non-Covid deaths was higher than those related to Covid, the data show.
During the third quarter of last year, deaths in the 25-to-34 age bracket were 78 percent above the expected level and, for people aged 45 to 54, 80 percent higher than expected. Excess mortality was 53 percent above the baseline for adults aged 55 to 64.
The Society of Actuaries (SOA) asked all 20 of the participating life insurance companies how they determine the cause of death for the purpose of recording claims. Of the 18 that responded, 17 said they list Covid-19 as the cause of death if it’s listed anywhere on the death certificate, while eight of the 18 said they go further and communicate with relatives and the medical examiner and look at other sources to try to determine the true cause of death.
One life insurance company stated that it recorded Covid-19 as the cause of death only when it could be determined to be the primary cause of death on a death certificate.
The report also notes that white-collar workers had the highest number of excess deaths during the two years studied. The group, which includes accountants, lawyers, computer programmers, and most other jobs done in an office setting, had 23 percent more deaths than expected.
The sharp increase of deaths among working-age people was first brought to light by Scott Davison, CEO of the Indianapolis-based life insurance company OneAmerica, who said in a virtual press conference on Dec. 30, 2021, that his company and the life insurance industry as a whole was seeing a 40 percent increase in deaths among people ages 18 to 64.
Davison said at the time that this represented the highest death rates in the history of the life insurance business, and that an increase in mortality of just 10 percent would constitute a “three-sigma” event, a once-in-200-year catastrophe.
OneAmerica is one of the 20 companies that contributed data for the SOA report. The others include Aflac, Anthem, The Hartford, Lincoln Financial Group, MetLife, New York Life, and Principal Financial.
Edward Dowd, a hedge fund manager who has been studying excess mortality for the past several months and has an upcoming book on the topic, Cause Unknown, says the rate of deaths among young people is alarming. He pointed out that excess deaths peaked around the time the Biden administration mandated Covid-19 vaccines and companies rushed to comply. “Temporally, in that three-month period, the change was such that, there was something that occurred,” he said. “Well, we all know what occurred in August, September, and October. It was Biden’s mandates on Sept. 9, and a lot of corporations anticipating those mandates.” President Joe Biden on Sept. 9, 2021, mandated Covid-19 vaccines for federal employees and health care workers in facilities certified by Medicare and Medicaid. The same day, the president tasked the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with implementing a nationwide vaccine mandate on private businesses with 100 or more employees.
Two House Democrats have asked a Treasury Department watchdog to investigate whether airlines used a portion of a federal coronavirus relief package to pay for staff buyouts during the pandemic. Airlines were prohibited from laying off staff as a condition of accepting $54 billion in taxpayer aid to weather the Covid-19 pandemic. Travel demand collapsed in the early days of the crisis. However, carriers were able to urge workers to take early retirement packages or extended leaves of absence. Thousands took them up on the offer, including hundreds of pilots.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., chairwoman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and James Clyburn, D-S.C., chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, on Thursday asked the Treasury Department’s watchdog to review how airlines used the Covid-19 aid and whether it was used for buyouts or staff reductions, according to a letter reviewed by CNBC.
Airlines for America, a trade group which represents American, Delta, United, Southwest and other major U.S. carriers, said the funds from the Payroll Support Program for airlines “went only to the paychecks of employees, as stipulated by law, and carriers have paid back the government loans.” “Without the PSP, our aviation system would look like Europe, Canada or other areas that did not have any similar program,” the group said in a statement. “Or even worse, if not for the PSP, we may not be flying at all.” When travel demand rebounded sharply this year, airlines found themselves short-staffed, including in cockpits. As a result, some airlines, including American and United, cut flights or grounded dozens of planes, particularly to small cities. Shorter routes are flown generally by regional airlines, and airlines have hired hundreds of new pilots from those smaller carriers to fill their own ranks.
Labor shortages this year have made it harder for airlines to recover from routine issues such as bad weather. “As a result of pilot shortages, thousands of flights have been delayed or canceled, wreaking havoc on travel plans for millions of American taxpayers,” the lawmakers wrote in their letter to Treasury Department Deputy Inspector General Richard Delmar. Delmar confirmed that he received the letter and said his office plans to respond to the lawmakers in the coming days.
The Treasury Department declined to comment.
Maloney and Clyburn asked the watchdog for preliminary results by Sept. 22.
U.S. carriers began 2020 with 456,398 full-time equivalent employees, which fell to 363,354 in November of that year, according to the Department of Transportation. Airlines have been on a hiring spree for more than a year, and in June had 455,642 full-time equivalent employees. Continue reading on www.cnbc.com
In the earliest days of the pandemic, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins emailed about coronaviruses under study at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and about whether they had steered money to the lab, an email obtained by U.S. Right to Know shows. Collins, then leader of the National Institutes of Health, and Fauci, leader of its infectious diseases institute, exchanged emails on February 1, 2020, about a preprint authored by Zhengli Shi, director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases. The preprint described bat coronaviruses under study at the lab, including a coronavirus 96 percent genetically similar to the coronavirus that causes Covid-19.
The emails show that Collins and Fauci were concerned about links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and NIH.
“In case you haven’t seen this preprint from one week ago,” Collins said in a February 1, 2020, email to Fauci. “No evidence this work was supported by NIH.”
“I did see it, but did not check the similarities. Obviously we need more details,” Fauci replied, a little before noon.
Some details of the short exchange are redacted.
The email shows that these concerns were top of mind at a critical time.
About two hours after the email exchange, Collins and Fauci would join a secret teleconference with a group of virologists who were closely examining the novel coronavirus. The teleconference touched off a high profile push to discredit the lab leak hypothesis.
The revelation that Collins and Fauci were discussing whether NIH had funded work on coronaviruses similar to SARS-CoV-2 at the Wuhan lab in the hours before suggests that politics may have been at play.
Those virologists’ claims that the virus could not have been engineered may have been influenced by Collins and Fauci. The NIH leaders may have sought to obscure links between federal funding and coronavirus research at the advancing pandemic’s epicenter. The emails raise questions about these virologists’ assurances that their deliberations were apolitical.
An analysis that framed the teleconference was called “Coronavirus sequence comparison[1].pdf.” This document has apparently not been released to the public, so it’s not clear which coronavirus they were comparing to Covid-19.
But it’s clear from notes exchanged after the call that an analysis comparing the spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13, the Wuhan Institute of Virology coronavirus with a 96 percent identical genome, had been performed.
The February 1 teleconference kicked off the drafting of an influential correspondence arguing against the idea that SARS-CoV-2 had been engineered.
“The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” in Nature Medicine claimed “strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is not the product of purposeful manipulation.”
It has been cited in 752 media outlets.
Collins and Fauci were repeatedly updated on its drafting and provided “advice and leadership.”
While not disclosed, the participation of NIH’s leaders in drafting the correspondence presented a conflict of interest.
Because while Collins had concluded that NIH did not support that particular study, the agency had indeed funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology for coronavirus work, including the engineering of chimeric viruses that combine components of multiple viruses to make them more infectious to human cells.
Fauci had been alerted days before that his institute, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, supported a “virus hunting” nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance with a grant called “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence” and that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was a collaborator, according to an email shared with U.S. Right to Know by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
Their concerns might have been aggravated further when lead authors of “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” shared concerns that the genome of SARS-CoV-2 appeared “inconsistent with expectations...
A lawsuit on behalf of a group of Seattle firefighters facing imminent termination due to their refusal to comply with the city’s vaccine mandate has been filed seeking injunctive relief and a temporary restraining order against the city and Fire Chief Harold Scoggins to prevent any more members of the department from being fired because of the policy. According to documents obtained by The Post Millennial, the plaintiffs are three Seattle firefighters facing imminent termination because although the city through the department "acknowledged each of their sincerely held religious beliefs preventing them from receiving vaccination against Covid-19," they were still denied accommodations for their exemptions and "all face imminent termination" despite "the most recent Center for Disease Control (CDC) Guidance, and the City’s recently changed policy reflecting that guidance."
The documents filed Tuesday also stated that "based upon whistleblower reports, that the Department had no intention of accommodating religious objectors in any event."
The plaintiffs submitted religious exemptions and according to the documents the department found that "each of the Plaintiffs’ requests for religious exemptions was based on a sincerely held religious belief," as stipulated by the mandate, yet "claimed that it was unable to offer accommodations, asserting an undue burden because the unvaccinated posed a health risk to others."
Since that time, the plaintiffs noted in the documents that the "CDC has acknowledged that the mandated vaccine does not stop infection or transmission of the virus," and "has also changed course and acknowledged natural immunity."
The documents included an email from the city that "acknowledged that the vaccines do not stop transmission" on August 31, 2022, which "echoing the latest CDC Guidance, and making no distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals." Additionally, the department cannot claim that "its policy has been successful in stemming Covid-19."
According to a declaration by Deputy Chief and Union President for Local 2898 Thomas Walsh, during the pandemic, before the vaccines were available, the Seattle Fire Department had tens of millions of contacts with the public and only a single instance of transmission.
Walsh, the third highest ranking member in the department also stated that "As Deputy Chief, it is apparent to me that the individualized accommodation assessment process and the so called interactive process was a sham because it was predetermined by the Department that no religious accommodation would be accommodated."
The deputy chief also noted that "despite the termination of all unvaccinated firefighters, the Department had a severe Covid-19 outbreak among its fully vaccinated members and is still dealing with ongoing Covid outbreaks."
Additionally, in December of 2021, "the exact accommodations suggested by the religious objectors (e.g. masking, daily testing, isolation, and social distancing) were implemented by the Department."
Other fire departments in the state including Pierce Central Fire and Rescue, long ago accommodated all religious objectors.
Washington state recently changed course and is no longer requiring Covid boosters for state employees, yet is still requiring they get the original doses of the vaccine. The city mandate was based on the state’s mandate.
According to the court documents, "Wholly independent from the lack of scientific basis to continue its arbitrary and capricious policy, it is now apparent that the Fire Department, and the City of Seattle at large, never intended to accommodate any firefighters found to have sincerely held religious beliefs."
The documents cited a meeting held on Microsoft Teams hosted by Adrienne Thompson from the mayor’s office, where she was asked to provide "written confirmation about the city’s policy, as revealed to city HR leads/staff on 10/13/21,
The mRNA vaccine miracle just keeps getting more special. Don't blame me; the numbers come straight from the British government.
Newly mRNA boosted adults aged 40-74 are now TWICE as likely to be hospitalized for Covid as those who haven't recently been boosted, a new British government report shows.
Vaccine advocates endlessly claim that though mRNA shots fail against Omicron infection in weeks, they still miraculously prevent Covid from becoming a serious illness that could require hospitalization.
These figures, which cover hospitalizations in June, suggest otherwise.
(See that blue bar? Those are the people who have had a booster within the last three months. That bar supposed to be lower than the other bars, not higher. Higher is bad.)
Source
The data are buried on page 47 of the most recent Covid vaccine surveillance report, released Sept. 1 by the United Kingdom Health Security Agency. The British government checks hospitals for Covid patients and then compares them to its national immunization registry, providing comprehensive data on cases by vaccine status.
The report shows that in June, people aged 40 to 74 who had received an mRNA booster within the last three months had a 1-in-3,600 risk of being hospitalized with Covid. That figure was double the 1-in-7,200 risk for people who had received their last Covid jab more than six months ago. (It also shows that the jabs stopped working after three months for people 75 and older.)
The British government removed some raw data about Covid deaths and hospitalizations from the vaccine surveillance report months ago, when they began to show vaccines were not working well. Still, it remains a better source of information than anything the United States offers.
To explain the apparently negative effect of boosters, the report’s authors suggest that people 40 to 74 who received a third or fourth shot in the spring might be sicker than average Britons.
But they offer no evidence to support that theory.
Another possibility, of course, is that the antibodies that the vaccines cause people to make may actually somewhat worsen Omicron infections, a phenomenon known as antibody-dependent enhancement.
However, in people 75 and older, the boosters still seem to have some short-term protective effect - though another tricky epidemiological phenomenon known as healthy vaccine user bias means the benefit is probably much less than it appears.
—
The HSA survey also shows that almost everyone who is hospitalized with Covid in Britain has had at least two vaccine shots, including 87 percent of people 40-64 and close to 95 percent of those 65 and over.
The vast majority of those have had three shots.
Data this ugly could help explain why the White House is now proposing Americans get mRNA shots only once a year, a significant easing of previous pressure to get jabbed twice or even three times a year.
Of course, the fact that vaccine demand has collapsed completely and midterm elections are only two months away might also be playing a role.
Follow the science!

The Government is deciding on whether to scrap the whole traffic light system and other Covid-19 orders, a decision that would see the remaining restrictions such as mask mandates gone by next Wednesday and end more than two years of Covid-19 rules. The Herald understands Cabinet on Monday will be deciding on a recommendation to scrap the traffic-light system altogether rather than tweaking the settings or moving to green.
If it goes ahead, it would come into effect soon – when the main legal instrument under which the Covid-19 orders are issued will expire if Cabinet decides not to renew it.
That Epidemic Preparedness (Covid-19) Notice 2020 is one of the over-arching legal instruments under which the Government and health authorities have exercised special powers in the Covid-19 response: including the traffic light system. If not renewed, all orders associated with it will also lapse.
The notice has been renewed every three months since it was put in place in March 2020 and requires the Prime Minister to state she is satisfied the effects of the outbreak are likely to continue to disrupt essential governmental and business activity in New Zealand "significantly."
That decision is based on consultation with the Minister of Health and the director-general of health. It is understood Cabinet was still getting some advice from health officials, but the recommendation to Cabinet is that it could end.
Ministers have increasingly questioned the ongoing effectiveness and palatability of Covid-19 restrictions, and pointed to waning public compliance and support for measures such as masking, and whether that has dropped to the extent that the rules are futile. Make a beeline for the Beehive If Cabinet gives it the nod, Covid-19 would be treated similar to the way the flu is managed.
Health officials could still require masks in public health settings, such as hospitals, and advise their use elsewhere such as on public transport. However, the Herald was told it would otherwise be up to businesses and providers to decide whether to adopt their own mask rules.
For example, Air NZ would decide whether to continue requiring masks on flights.
The Government will retain some capacity to quickly restart a response in the case of a new and vigorous variant and is working on longer-term proposals for future pandemic management.
Next week's decision follows a review by Covid-19 Response Minister Ayesha Verrall of the Covid-19 framework.
Ardern has been signalling for some months that the traffic light system could be scrapped at the end of winter, after the Omicron outbreak peaked and the pressure on hospitals eased.
Yesterday she told The Country that decisions on things such as mask mandates would be announced next week: "we are looking in much better shape than we were even six to eight weeks ago, so it's just looking at whether or now we are in a position to start making some changes there." In a media briefing yesterday, Ministry of Health deputy director-general of health Dr Andrew Old said he would not discuss the advice given to the Government on its review. However, he said we were now at "a new stage" of the virus. Case numbers and hospitalizations are at the lowest levels since February, Old said. Yesterday saw 1793 new cases with 260 people in hospital, including five in intensive care.
The seven-day rolling average of cases had fallen by 27 per cent from a week ago, and hospitalizations were down 29 per cent, Old said. The number of virus-related deaths was also declining.
While it was difficult to model accurately what might happen next year or under a new variant, Old said he was optimistic about the outlook for the summer months. He indicated that vaccinations, rather than rules, would be used to do the heavy lifting to keep people safe into 2023.
He said decisions on second boosters for under-50s were due soon and pointed to improved Omicron-resistant vaccines.
Air Force members seeking religious exemptions from the U.S. military’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate have provided “significant proof” that the military branch has discriminated against them, a federal appeals court ruled on Sept. 12. A U.S. district court in July blocked the mandate for thousands of Air Force members who remain unvaccinated and have had their religious exemptions denied or not acted upon. In response, the government asked for an emergency stay. When that was denied, the government went to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, arguing that the ruling was wrong.
An appeals court panel said in its decision released Monday that plaintiffs had to provide significant proof that the Air Force had a policy to deny all requests for religious exemptions, and all indications are that they have.
“To establish a general policy … the plaintiffs need not show that the Department rejects 100% of requests for religious exemptions. And the Department’s own statistics show that, as of May 23, 2022, it had rejected more than 99% of them,” U.S. Circuit Judge Raymond Kethledge, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in the 11-page order. “That the Department has granted only a comparative handful of religious exemptions, while granting thousands of medical and administrative ones, is itself at this stage of the case significant proof of discrimination,” he added. Kethledge was joined by Circuit Judges Eric Murphy and John K. Bush, both Trump appointees. Plaintiffs The plaintiffs are all members who sought religious exemptions and were deemed by chaplains to hold sincere religious beliefs, but the military rejected many of their requests anyways. The others haven’t received final decisions but expect to be rejected, based on the treatment of like-minded airmen.
The group has said that evidence shows the military systemically denied requests for religious exemptions, denying federal law and the U.S. Constitution. “This order by the Court of Appeals affirms that the Department of Defense and the Air Force violated religious free exercise rights of service members which is protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment,” Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, which is representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement.
“This is a great victory for religious freedom, especially for these Air Force service members who love God and love America. These mandates will continue to crumble one by one in the courts,” he added.

In a precedent-setting decision, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has upheld Seneca College’s vaccine mandate for the current school year. A motion for an injunction against the school’s vaccine policy was issued in January 2022 by two unvaccinated Seneca students. They were represented by lawyers from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).
The students argued that the vaccine policy contradicts instructions issued by Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health and that it violates a number of their rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
This decision is especially important, said Howard Levitt, one of the lawyers representing Seneca College, as it shows, even now – two and a half years into the pandemic – that vaccine mandates are legal and institutions have a right to enforce them.
In the decision, Superior Court Judge William D. Black found that Seneca College did not contradict the Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health’s vaccination guidance. “While the (Chief Medical Officer of Health) is no longer mandating vaccination policies for post-secondary institutions,” wrote Black. “He continues to encourage mandatory vaccination policies.” When considering if the students’ Charter rights were violated, Black states that in his view “the application of the Charter to Seneca’s actions is somewhat uncertain.” Nonetheless, Black proceeded to assume it does apply and found that Seneca did not violate the two students’ rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Black also discusses the controversy surrounding Byram Bridle, the medical expert that the two students’ argument relies on.
Bridle, who is an associate professor of viral immunology in the Department of Pathobiology at the University of Guelph, garnered attention for saying the Covid-19 vaccine is unsafe. In response to his claims, over 80 of his colleagues at the University of Guelph signed a letter distancing themselves from his views.
Black writes that he approaches Bridle’s “views with caution” and considers them against the opinions of Seneca College’s medical experts.
Currently, Seneca College requires all students who access the campus to be fully vaccinated for Covid-19. They do not offer a testing option for those who are unvaccinated. The school does consider requests for exemptions on medical or religious grounds.
During the 2021 school year, the two students had to take leaves of absence as they could not comply with the vaccine mandate. In June 2022, it was announced that the policy would remain in place for the current school year.
Seneca College maintains that the vaccine policy is necessary to protect the health and safety of students and faculty on Seneca’s campuses.
It is important to remember that Seneca is not just a school, said Levitt. It is also a workplace for thousands of employees and faculty members. “This decision entirely demolishes and annihilates all arguments that employers do not have the right to require people to be vaccinated at a workplace.” Continue reading on nationalpost.com
A new international study estimates that from January 1, 2020, to May, 1, 2022, nearly 8 million kids age 18 and under lost a parent or primary caregiver to a pandemic-related cause. When the researchers included the deaths of secondary caregivers like grandparents or other older relatives, the number of kids affected rose to 10.5 million.
That's a big jump from the prior estimate of 5.2 million children who lost a parent or caregiver to Covid-19 from the start of the pandemic until Oct 31, 2021.
The findings are "heartbreaking and disturbing," says Susan Hillis, the main author of the new study, and a co-chair of the Global Reference Group on Children Affected by Covid-19 and Crisis, an international team that's been tracking the indirect toll of the pandemic on children.
Some nations are beginning to address these catastrophic losses with new programs that offer support to the bereaved families – although the U.S. lags in this effort. Why have estimates gone up? Asked why the numbers are far higher than previously thought, Hillis answers: "Part of the increases are because we just have more accurate death data on which to model our estimates. And of course, the other aspect of the increases is that deaths have continued."
The study, published in JAMA Pediatrics, also found that the greatest numbers of kids affected by these losses were in Africa and Southeast Asia. India has seen the most suffering, with 3.5 million children grieving the loss of a parent or primary/secondary caregiver. However, Bolivia and Peru have the highest rates of kids affected, with 1 out of every 50 children in both countries losing caregivers during the pandemic.
These children face potentially devastating consequences. The emotional toll may be what people think of first but the impact hits many areas of a child's life. "This enormous bereavement is an economic loss," explains Lorraine Sherr, a psychologist at the University College London, and a member of the Global Reference Group, who wasn't involved in the latest estimates. That's especially true when the parent or primary caregiver who died was the main breadwinner in the family. A family's loss of income can put kids at a higher risk of food and housing insecurity.
If a child moves to a new community or family because of the death of a parent, "it's a separation," she says. "And then there's disengagement at school and then disengagement with friendships, with things previously that made them happy or helped them learn. So you have this kind of huge cascade of losses."
Bereavement is one of the top predictors of poor outcomes at school, says psychologist Julie Kaplow, executive vice president of trauma and grief programs at the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute.
Studies also point to the lasting mental and physical health impacts from losing a parent or caregiver.
"It increases the risk of mental health problems, suicide, prolonged grief complications, sexual exploitation and abuse, even physical abuse of children," says Hillis. Continue reading on www.npr.org
Back in the early 1990s, Nathaniel Landau was a young virologist just starting his career in HIV research. But he and his colleagues were already on the verge of a landmark breakthrough. Several labs around the world were hot on his team's tail. "We were sleeping in the lab, just to keep the work going day and night because there were many labs all racing against each other," Landau says. "Of course, we wanted to be the first to do it. We were totally stressed out."
Other scientists had identified groups of people who appeared to be completely resistant to HIV. "People who knew they had been exposed to HIV multiple times, mainly through unprotected sex, yet they clearly were not infected," Landau explains.
And so the race was on to figure out why: "Are these people just lucky or did they really have a mutation in their genes that was protecting them from infection?'" he says.
Now 25 years later, scientists all over the world are trying to answer the same question but about a different virus: SARS-CoV-2.
Back in the early 1990s, Nathaniel Landau was a young virologist just starting his career in HIV research. But he and his colleagues were already on the verge of a landmark breakthrough. Several labs around the world were hot on his team's tail. "We were sleeping in the lab, just to keep the work going day and night because there were many labs all racing against each other," Landau says. "Of course, we wanted to be the first to do it. We were totally stressed out. " Other scientists had identified groups of people who appeared to be completely resistant to HIV. "People who knew they had been exposed to HIV multiple times, mainly through unprotected sex, yet they clearly were not infected," Landau explains.
By this point in the pandemic, most Americans have had at least one bout of Covid. For children under age 18, more than 80% of them have been infected, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates.
But just as with HIV, some people have been exposed multiple times but never had symptoms and never tested positive. "We've heard countless anecdotes about nurses and health-care workers being exposed without any protection and remaining negative over and over again," says pediatrician Jean-Laurent Casanova, who studies the genetics of viral resistance at Rockefeller University. "Or people share a household with someone who's been coughing for a couple of weeks, and one person stays negative." So why haven't these people caught Covid?
After two years of hunting, a team at the University of California, San Francisco has come pretty close to answering the question.
"These findings are like hot off the presses," says immunogeneticist Jill Hollenbach, who led this research. "We haven't published them yet. It's all stuff that's been happening this summer."
Hollenbach and her team have found a genetic mutation that doesn't prevent the virus from infecting cells – that's what Landau was searching for in his HIV research – but still does something remarkable: It prevents a person from having Covid symptoms.
Turns out, stopping an infection altogether is an extremely tough nut for our bodies to crack. What does it take to be a true superdodger? Over the course of human history, scientists have identified only two instances of true virus superdodgers. That is, where a specific mutation in their genes makes people completely resistant to a virus. So that it slides off their cells, "like water sliding off a glass window," as Casanova puts it..
In 2003, a team in London showed how some people never get a stomach bug, called norovirus, which causes vomiting and diarrhea. The researchers found that one mutation in their genes prevents them from making a molecule the virus needs to infect the cell.
(In 1995, researchers in France figured out why some people appeared to never be infected with a species of malaria known as Plasmodium vivax. However, over the past decade,
Age is the most important risk factor associated with deaths in individuals who have received Covid-19 booster shots, a new study has found. The study was published on Sept. 8 in Jama Network Open, a monthly medical journal published by the American Medical Association, and is titled: “Evaluation of Risk Factors for Postbooster Omicron Covid-19 Deaths in England.”
Researchers from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), Public Health Scotland, the University of Strathclyde, and the University of Edinburgh conducted the study.
They noted that it has become “critical to identify risk factors associated with Covid-19 death in individuals who have completed primary vaccination and received a messenger RNA (mRNA) booster dose,” due to the emergence of the Omicron variant. “Existing evidence is based on people who have received 1 or 2 doses of a Covid-19 vaccine and were infected by the Alpha or Delta variant,” researchers wrote.
“Understanding which groups are at increased risk of Covid-19 death after receiving a booster is crucial for the prioritization of further booster doses and access to Covid-19 therapeutics.” Researchers said they used data from the ONS Public Health Data Asset for the study, which is a “population-level linked data set combining the 2011 Census of England and Wales and electronic health records covering 80 percent of the population of England.”
The study population covered 19,473,570 UK residents aged 18 to 100 who had completed both doses of their primary Covid vaccination schedule as well as an mRNA booster shot 14 days or more prior to Dec. 31, 2021.
Researchers monitored the time to death involving Covid-19 among the study population that occurred between Jan. 1 and March 16 this year. Covid-19 Greater Hazard for Elderly, Men They found that there were 4,781 (0.02 percent) deaths involving Covid-19 and 58,020 (0.3 percent) deaths from other causes during the study period, with the median age of those who died from Covid-19-related deaths averaging 83.3. Compared with a 50-year-old, the “hazard ratio” or “HR” for an 80-year-old individual was 31.3 percent, the authors said, noting that “age was the most important characteristic associated with the risk of post booster Covid-19 death.” Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
There follows a letter from Alan Miller, Co-Founder of the Together Declaration, to Maggie Throup MP, whose recent response to Daily Sceptic reader Richard Morgan revealed that vaccine passports are ready to be “toggled” on when required. The document Ms. Throup enclosed explained: “The Government may introduce a mandatory Covid Pass to access high risk venues if the data suggests further measures are necessary to protect the NHS.” Alan asks Ms. Throup why she denied this in her cover letter as he warns once again of the serious threat to liberty of vaccine passports. Dear Maggie Throup MP,
On behalf of Together’s now 300,000 signatories in the U.K., we were extremely concerned to read a media report on September 5th (“Vaccine Passports Are Alive and Kicking”) based on a new Freedom of Information request stating:
In April 2022, an Invitation to Tender (ITT) was issued by NHSX, and a Danish company called Netcompany Ltd won the £18m bid to: “Deliver the NHS Covid Pass App live service including operational management, incident management and support, and app development services.” …
Through a Freedom of Information request, I obtained a copy of the scope of works for the project (Department for Health & Social Security, Specification for Covid Pass Delivery Partner, Reference: C50516). On page nine is the following operational requirement:
“Domestic Pass for use in Voluntary and Mandatory Settings.
“The Government may introduce a mandatory Covid Pass to access high risk venues if the data suggests further measures are necessary to protect the NHS. In preparation for this eventuality, we have built the changes to support two levels of domestic passes. The functionality will be toggled off until required. This enables a quick response if/when the Government invokes a mandate. If a citizen is fully vaccinated, medically exempt or has been in a clinical trial, they will be eligible for an ‘all venues’ (mandatory) pass. If a citizen only has natural immunity or negative test results, they will only be eligible for a ‘limited venues’ (voluntary) pass.”
The covering letter from Maggie Throup, the MP fronting the programme, states:
“Although domestic certification is no longer being used in the U.K., the NHS Covid Pass still requires updating and maintaining for travel purposes.” This is plainly at odds with the operational requirement quoted above, where far more than travel purposes are envisaged.
In a few months, Together’s ‘Declaration’ was signed by 200,000 people in the U.K. to reject vaccine passports or any similar form of medical certification in the United Kingdom. We represent more than 200 organisations, business groups, campaigners and professionals who were and remain gravely concerned about the use of vaccine passports. The introduction of vaccine passports was one of the most divisive proposals the Government sought to introduce. It was ill-founded from the start, and many see this project as a Trojan horse for introducing mandatory Digital I.D. Of course, for a very long time Government denied there was any possibility of vaccine passports at all. Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi told the U.K. public on BBC TV on February 7th 2021 that vaccine passports would be “discriminatory” and reassured the public that the Government had “no plans” to introduce them in Britain, even commenting “that’s not how we do things in the U.K.”.
There never was support for this authoritarian project, as seen by findings from your “Call for Evidence” consultation in March 2021. Over 52,000 people responded, and most voted against the introduction of vaccine passports.
In September 2021, the then Health Secretary Sajid Javid indicated that plans for vaccine passports had been scrapped. Yet, at the end of 2021 the Government introduced them anyway before supposedly withdrawing them in January 2022.
Clearly we see the invitation to tender was issued April 2022.
Then, on June 8th,
Rab Wardell, the newly crowned Scottish MTB XC champion, passed away in his sleep a few days after winning the Scottish cycling title at the age of 37. Katie Archibald, his partner and Olympic champion, tweeted that “he had suffered a cardiac arrest.” According to Archibald, although she tried her best to revive him, and the paramedics arrived within minutes, they still couldn’t save him.
In a statement, British Cycling expressed its sorrow to lose a “brilliant rider, friend and ambassador for our sport.”
At the time of writing, the cause of Wardell’s cardiac arrest still remains unknown. Inquiry Into Excess Deaths in Scotland Since the Start of Covid-19 Pandemic The Scottish government has started an inquiry into the causes of excess deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland.
Excess deaths refer to the total number of deaths in a week in 2022 minus the average number of deaths in the same week over the period from 2016 to 2021, while excluding 2020 to not inflate the previous years’ average, as there was a large number of deaths in spring 2020 (Excess Deaths = Total Number of Deaths – Average Number of Deaths in Previous Years).
Excess deaths include deaths caused by the pandemic and those from other causes.
According to the official website of the Scottish Parliament, the weekly numbers of deaths in Scotland between April 2020 and April 2022 (the latest available date) are larger than the average numbers of deaths in the same weeks of previous years, for most of the weeks during this period.
For instance, for the week beginning Jan. 4, 2021, there were 1,720 deaths, while the previous years’ average for the weeks beginning Jan. 4 (from 2016 to 2019) was 1,276, so the number of excess deaths was 444 (34.80 percent).
However, what’s unclear is the extent to which the excess deaths are caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, or if they are due to other reasons.
In June 2022, in an article published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology, recommended gene testing athletes to prevent sudden cardiac death.
Sports cardiology is an advanced field of practice that evaluates athletes for genetically determined cardiac conditions which may lead to malignant arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Genetic testing is becoming more widely used in sports cardiology, and it is generally considered part of a comprehensive cardiac assessment in athletes.
According to the statistics, up to 80 percent of athletes who die suddenly had no symptoms or family history of heart disease. Moreover, other than the case of Rab Wardell, a universal pattern of increased excess mortality has been reported all over the world.
However, genetic factors are rather stable factors that won’t normally directly cause death unless there are significant external risk factors. As the saying goes, internal causes are like basic prerequisites, like a seed, while external factors are like sunlight or water. The seed will grow into a plant only with the suitable conditions of temperature, sunlight, and water.
We could not attribute a large number of excess death rates to genetic factors alone. There must be other external triggers to be found. Excess Mortality in England and Wales Beyond Scotland, other areas of the UK also experienced an unexplained rise in excess deaths. According to the latest data from the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS), from June to late August 2022, around 1,000 excess deaths took place in England and Wales each week. However, most of them are unrelated to the Covid-19 pandemic.
For instance, in the week ending Aug. 26, there were 1,556 cases of excess mortality, but only approximately 453 cases of them were caused by the pandemic. Before the end of March 2022, deaths in England and Wales were fewer than usual, although several hundreds of people were still dying from the pandemic every week. However,
During the first year of the Covid pandemic, 1,714 doctors and health providers billed Medicare nearly $128 million in “high risk” claims, according to a new report from federal investigators. We bring you this article so you're aware of the various Medicare frauds schemes that are taking advantage of anti-vaxxers and vaccine-skeptics as well.
Telehealth industry officials caution against creating “inappropriate barriers” to care, saying the report shows only a small number of providers engage in potential fraud or wasteful billing.
More than 28 million seniors and disabled residents on Medicare accessed telehealth in the first year of the pandemic, an 88-fold increase from the previous year.
The federal government eased telehealth requirements at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic so more Americans could get remote care with fewer obstacles.
A report by government investigators this week found more permissive remote care has come at a price. During the first year of the pandemic, 1,714 doctors and health providers billed Medicare nearly $128 million in “high risk” claims, according to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.
Investigators said less than 1% of the 742,000 Medicare-certified doctors and other providers of telehealth services submitted roughly a half million problematic claims. Yet the billings are concerning enough that government investigators urged the Biden administration to tighten oversight to ensure millions of Americans can access remote care while safeguarding taxpayer dollars. “We're really looking at practices that indicate a high probability of fraud, waste or abuse,” said Andrew VanLandingham, the HHS inspector general’s senior counselor for policy. The report comes less than two months after the inspector general's office alerted medical professionals about rising telemedicine fraud by companies that often pay kickbacks to doctors, labs and others to generate orders paid by Medicare and other federal health programs. Also in July, the Justice Department announced 36 people were charged for over $1 billion in health fraud involving telemedicine providers. Some were part of a telemarketing network that lured thousands of elderly or disabled patients to get unnecessary genetic testing or orders for medical equipment Medicare fraud, telehealth access and 'inappropriate barriers' The latest inspector general report doesn’t address whether doctors or other providers intended to commit fraud, VanLandingham said, but the analysis suggests a high likelihood of billing abuses.
The report informs the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Congress and other stakeholders of potential ways a small percentage of providers are exploiting Medicare and suggests strategies to tighten oversight during the third year of the pandemic.
The report also comes as Congress must decide whether to permanently extend pandemic-era telehealth rules that accelerated the use of remote care.
Telehealth industry officials say the report shows only a small number of health providers engage in potential fraud or wasteful billing. The officials also say decisionmakers also must evaluate the importance of convenient access for millions of Americans who get appropriate care.
“We want to make sure that in addressing concerns about fraud – as minute as that fraud might be – you're not erecting really harsh and inappropriate barriers,” said Kyle Zebley, the American Telemedicine Association’s senior vice president of public policy.
Before 2020, Medicare largely restricted telehealth to people who accessed medical care via video and audio connections set up in rural clinics. Amid the pandemic , Medicare allowed recipients in cities and suburbs to get care remotely, often from their home, via a phone call or a video chat. Medicare also more than doubled the types of services eligible for reimbursement
Medicare wanted to make it easier for people to get care wit...
Tiago Henriques, a seasoned artificial intelligence expert who noticed that news of adverse reactions to Covid-19 vaccines were highly censored in the media, decided to create a Facebook group that lets the vaccine-injured and their loved ones share their stories. Most Facebook pages on the topic of vaccine side effects and adverse events get removed very quickly by the social media platform, managing to get only a few thousand followers. With technical skills and the use of methods that stay within the confines of Facebook’s terms of service, Henriques and his team managed to keep their page up much longer, getting over 245,000 followers to date.
The Facebook group “Died Suddenly News” was created in late June 2021. Members of the private group share personal stories of people they know who have developed serious medical conditions or even died shortly after receiving the Covid-19 shots. “I wanted people to talk to each other. Individuals who’ve gone through the same experience, they can be there for each other, be compassionate, show some love, and just get a little bit of relief, because a lot of these people live in small communities—they have nobody to talk to,” said Henriques in an interview on NTD’s Evening News aired on Sept. 9.
“The physicians won’t listen to them, the nurses won’t listen to them. And I think this was a great avenue for these people to feel listened to.” ‘Very Visceral’ Henriques, who resides in Nova Scotia, says that the group started off slowly but that as the months went by, it gained momentum with more and more people signing up. “In the last three, four months, it’s like absolutely exploded,” he said.
The AI expert says the “heartbeat” of the group is those who share their stories.
“The stories that you read on there [about] vaccine injuries, vaccine deaths, they’re very visceral,” he said. “These are real people in your communities, telling you, telling everybody about their story, and I think that’s what makes it more real.”
Henriques says the page is currently moderated by about 15 to 20 moderators, who remove any trolls attempting to disparage members or be disrespectful to them.
“We keep a pretty tight lid on things. We try to make things run like a Swiss watch, but sometimes it’s challenging. It is a big group, it is growing, so we’re going to have those growing pains,” he said. Continue reading on www.theepochtimes.com
Super Bowl-winning Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers keeps injecting himself into controversies lately, and on Sunday, which is the NFL’s opening weekend, he was back at it again. Appearing on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, which will drop Sunday evening, Rodgers blasted California pandemic policies and claimed the state was in a serious backslide. The state’s going to st, but I’m hanging on. I grew up in a small town, very little cases up in Chico, California, but all the small businesses? F*ing gone.
According to Daily Mail, capacity limits, mask mandates, lockdowns, and vaccine requirements cost the state over 40,000 businesses, the highest figure in any state in the nation, so he’s not wrong.
Rodgers then went on to complain about awful bill AB 2098, a measure soon to go to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk which, as I reported, would muzzle health professionals by limiting their ability to speak their minds. Once it passes, the state medical board can decide if a doctor has disseminated Covid “misinformation” or “disinformation,” and he or she could have their license revoked. Rodgers asked the right question: “based on whose standard of misinformation?” The bill faces clear First Amendment issues and is already being challenged in court.
Journalist Katy Grimes wrote in the California Globe about the “chilling” effects of the law:
Many medical professionals have called this definition “medical tyranny.” Imagine if cancer was treated the same by this Legislature. Is there “contemporary scientific consensus” on treatments, and are physicians threatened with the loss of their licenses if they try new treatments or medications for cancer patients?
This isn’t the first time Rodgers has trashed the state, appearing on the Joe Rogan podcast in late August.
The pair discussed the paddle-boarder arrested in Malibu for violating the state’s stay-at-home order, with Rodgers joking: He’s passing Covid to the dolphins or what?
Joe, they closed the beaches in California. They closed the beaches where I live in California and all around the coast.
The quarterback may have been joshing, but LA Public Health is in fact now doubling down on their insanity by testing pets for Covid. Truly. Rodgers also mocked the Governor’s appearance at the uber-expensive restaurant the French Laundry in 2020 as the rest of the state was under strict lockdowns and mask mandates.
Rodgers has always been an interesting guy, but he’s sure not going to please everyone with this Maher interview. The HBO host has been notoriously left-leaning for years but lately has surprisingly been intellectually consistent about positions classic liberals used to hold, like freedom of speech and the ridiculousness of wokeness. Still, he tried to provoke Rodgers into condemning Trump, but the athlete wouldn’t take the bait.
Rodgers says he’s neither Democrat nor Republican. “I’m a rational thinker. I’m not on one side or the other,” he told Maher. He says he leans pro-life but doesn’t think the government should tell you what to do with your body. Someday, he’ll figure that one out and realize that the body being aborted doesn’t get a vote.
Rodgers can be remarkably confounding. However, his willingness to speak up against California’s crazy one-party rule and disastrous Covid policies is important because he’s a prominent national figure, and we need more voices like that to continue exposing the destruction of the once-golden state.

A recent study claims to have found “irrefutable proof of causality” that the mRNA vaccines cause vascular and organ damage. The study, conducted by microbiologists Dr. Michael Palmer and Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, was mostly based on the findings of German pathologists Dr. Arne Burkhardt and Dr. Walter Lang.
Here is a summary of the findings:
mRNA vaccines don’t stay at the injection site; they instead travel throughout the body and accumulate in various organs. mRNA-based Covid vaccines induce long-lasting expression of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in many organs. Vaccine-induced expression of the spike protein induces autoimmune-like inflammation. Vaccine-induced inflammation can cause grave organ damage, especially in vessels, sometimes with deadly outcomes.
“This study, by the type of dyes they use, shows irrefutable proof that the spike protein goes everywhere—heart, ovary, liver, spleen—and to a lesser extent, testes.” Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, an expert in vaccine damage, told The Epoch Times. “This is what leads to multi-organ system failure. This is what leads to infertility in women.”
“There has been a lot of hypothesis about the damage these shots cause. Now, with these pathology slides and the specific types of immunochemistry staining, Bhakti and Palmer show—unequivocally—that the spike protein is quickly disseminated to every organ they examined,” Tenpenny said.
“They are both pathologists; looking at slides of tissue under a microscope and appropriately staining tissue is what they are trained to do!” she added.
“Those of us who warned of the dangers of these Covid shots were widely censored and ridiculed,” Dr. Christiane Northrup, former fellow in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told The Epoch Times.
“I wish we had been wrong. We weren’t. And we finally have irrefutable proof,” Northrup added.
According to toxicologist Janci Lindsay, Ph.D., who has been following the Covid vaccine story since its inception, the most valuable takeaway from this study is that it “corroborates” Markus Aldén et al.’s findings (in-vitro) that Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine may be transcribed into cellular DNA—in an in-vivo system.
In-vitro, which means “in glass” in Latin, refers to when a test or process is done in a test tube or outside a living organism. In-vivo (within the living) means the studies are done in living organisms.
That the vaccine quickly distributes through the body was a finding present in Pfizer’s own animal experiments.
“The subject was deceased but the examination of their tissue showed that they were expressing the spike protein, nine months after the injection of the genetic vaccine,” Lindsay told The Epoch Times.
The only three possible ways that the abovementioned could happen, she explains, are when:
mod-mRNA is stable in the body for nine months. The mRNA has been integrated into the genome, such as in the Aldén study. The person was around somebody who was recently vaccinated and the mRNA was transmitted.
The Palmer and Bhakdi study says that the “limited experimental studies available (2015, 2018)” indicate that the injected modified mRNA should degrade “within days to a few weeks of the injection.”
But, “this is obviously difficult to square with the observed long-lasting expression; in some form or other, the genetic information appears to be perpetuated in-vivo,” the study states.
“Their findings of spike expression nine months out from [taking the vaccine] support either genomic integration of the mRNA coding the spike protein into the genome of the cells shown expressing it, or, that the synthetically modified messenger RNA is remaining stable within these cells months after it was supposed to be degraded,” Lindsay said.
“This constitutive expression of the spike protein would exhaust the immune system and/or eventually possibly make it non-responsive or tolerant to the spike protein,
Over 400 doctors, scientists and professionals from more than 34 countries this morning declared an international medical crisis due to “diseases and death associated with the ‘Covid-19 vaccines'”. Launched at a press conference on Saturday, September 10th, the declaration states: “We are currently witnessing an excess in mortality in those countries where the majority of the population has received the so-called ‘Covid-19 vaccines’. To date, this excess mortality has neither been sufficiently investigated nor studied by national and international health institutions.” It continues:
The large number of sudden deaths in previously healthy young people who were inoculated with these ‘vaccines’ is particularly worrying, as is the high incidence of miscarriages and perinatal deaths which have not been investigated.
A large number of adverse side effects, including hospitalizations, permanent disabilities and deaths related to the so-called ‘Covid-19 vaccines’, have been reported officially.
The registered number has no precedent in world vaccination history.
The declaration, which originates among concerned medics and professionals in India, makes eight “urgent” demands, including an immediate stop to the vaccinations and investigation of all deaths in previously healthy people.
Read the full text below, and if you are a doctor, scientist or other professional, do consider signing. Declaration of International Medical Crisis due to the Diseases and Deaths Co-Related to the ‘Covid-19 Vaccines’ We, the medical doctors and scientists from all over the world, declare that there is an international medical crisis due to the diseases and deaths co-related to the administration of products known as ‘Covid-19 vaccines’.
We are currently witnessing an excess in mortality in those countries where the majority of the population has received the so-called ‘Covid-19 vaccines’. To date, this excess mortality has neither been sufficiently investigated nor studied by national and international health institutions.
The large number of sudden deaths in previously healthy young people who were inoculated with these ‘vaccines’, is particularly worrying, as is the high incidence of miscarriages and perinatal deaths which have not been investigated.
A large number of adverse side effects, including hospitalizations, permanent disabilities and deaths related to the so-called ‘Covid-19 vaccines’, have been reported officially.
The registered number has no precedent in world vaccination history.
Examining the reports on CDC’s VAERS, the U.K.’s Yellow Card System, the Australian Adverse Event Monitoring System, Europe’s EudraVigilance System and the WHO’s VigiAccess Database, to date there have been more than 11 million reports of adverse effects and more than 70,000 deaths co-related to the inoculation of the products known as ‘Covid vaccines’.
We know that these numbers just about represent between 1% and 10% of all real events.
Therefore, we consider that we are facing a serious international medical crisis, which must be accepted and treated as critical by all states, health institutions and medical personnel worldwide.
Therefore, the following measures must be undertaken on an urgent basis:
A worldwide ‘stop’ to the national inoculation campaigns with the products known as ‘Covid-19 vaccines’. Investigation of all sudden deaths of people who were healthy previous to the inoculation. Implementation of early detection programmes of cardiovascular events which could lead to sudden deaths with analysis such as D-dimer and Troponin, in all those that were inoculated with the products known as ‘Covid-19 vaccines’, as well as the early detection of serious tumors. Implementation of research and treatment programs for victims of adverse effects after receiving the so-called ‘Covid-19 vaccine’. Undertaking analyses of the composition of vials of Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca, Janssen, Sinovac,
A New Jersey speech therapist says she's recently seen a wave of infants and toddlers 'unable to communicate' after being born during the pandemic - one of several now-surfacing consequences of school and day care closures seen over the past few years. The phenomenon, speech pathologist Nancy Polow says, is part of a concerning trend in kids born during or shortly before the pandemic, who are 'falling behind' on key milestones due to a lack of social interaction during that time span.
Compounding the crisis, when parents sought help, they were often met with lockdown-related roadblocks, such as masking restrictions, the challenge of tele-health appointments for toddlers, and fear of in-person therapy.
Now that restrictions have lessened, Polow says, parents are scrambling to address these failures, signing up for pricey speech therapy sessions to repair the damage done to their young - shelling out as much as $1,000 a month in the process.
A growing body of academic research also supports Polow's claims of children born over the past three or so years possessing weaker verbal skills - with many staying silent well past their first birthdays and in some cases, even their second. 'We call these children Covid babies,' Polow, a pathologist with more than 45 years experience, told NJ.com in a recent interview where she and several other speech experts warned of the rapidly emerging crisis.
'I have never seen such an influx of infants and toddlers unable to communicate,' Polow told the outlet Friday, for a feature story titled 'A Troubling Silence.'
'There's not anything else wrong,' she said of the kids who are pouring into her speech center in Milburn, New Jersey, 'other than they lost out on the socialization.' Speech is only one area where children are lagging since the pandemic, Polow says, with several other studies showing that 'Covid'-era kids are also seeing delays in other activities such as crawling and walking.
Verbal delays, however, are often the first sign of broader developmental issues, the expert warned - one of several now-surfacing repercussions of the restrictions.
Many families have turned to private therapy practices such as Polow's - which can cost more than $1,000 a month and are not commonly covered by insurance.
Those sessions, Polow says, in many cases turned out unfruitful, due to issues such as masking restrictions, tele-health challenges for toddlers, and a lack of doctors willing to see patients in person.
Experts believe the speech delays are a direct result of fewer interactions with adults and other children during the pandemic.
Now Polow says she and her staff are working with countless kids and parents to regain those losses over the next few months, and get the 'Covid babies' back on track.
'If we get them young enough, then they become age appropriate,' Polow said. 'Then they reach their milestones.'
Meanwhile, she and other experts warn that many other children amid the furor over the sudden coronavirus outbreak had slipped through the cracks, not only with speech delays but with developmental issues such as autism.
Janice Prontnicki, director of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, said this was also due to babies spending less time around family and child care providers, who might have noticed a delay or confirmed a parent’s fears.
'We were missing kids that should have been picked up sooner,' Prontnicki told NJ.com.
Meanwhile, Polow says her speech center is still seeing 'lots and lots' of Covid babies. It’s also seen an increase in what she called 'Covid children' - kids who missed two years of preschool or spent their entire kindergarten year in virtual learning. 'Parents do feel guilty, and I think their biggest question that they are asking is, "Should I have come sooner?"' she said, adding that the damage can always be undone with the proper treatment. That treatment, however,
A Brookings Institution report published on August 24, 2022, estimated that a staggering two to four million working-age adults had left the labor force due to Long Covid, also known as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). The annual impact on lost wages has been placed at around $200 billion, or 1 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest report found that there are 10.7 million unfilled positions, meaning Long Covid is responsible for as much as one-third of these vacancies. With the pandemic continuing to rage, the BLS wrote, “These impacts stand to worsen over time if the US does not take the necessary policy actions.”
In partnership with the National Center for Health Statistics, the Census Bureau recently estimated that around 16 million working-age Americans (18 to 65) have Long Covid, or about 8 percent of the total.
The Brookings Institution examined three reports to arrive at the number of workers who have left the workforce due as a consequence of their infection.
The first is from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, which recently conducted a survey that found almost one-quarter of people who contracted Covid-19 experienced symptoms for three months or more. Based on the official estimates of how many have been infected with Covid, this would mean that roughly 34 million working-age Americans have had Long Covid. Half of the respondents in the Minneapolis survey reported they had recovered from Long Covid, which leaves 17 million still affected, roughly confirming the Census Bureau’s estimate.
As for who among this group has left the labor market, the Minneapolis study reported that almost 26 percent had either reduced working hours (at least 10 hours a week on a 40-hour week basis) or quit altogether.
These estimates were echoed by a survey from the British Trades Union Congress (TUC) that 20 percent of people with Long Covid were no longer working while another 16 percent said they were working fewer hours.
A third cited study from The Lancet on an international cohort found that 22 percent of Long Covid victims could no longer work due to poor health, and another 45 percent had to reduce their hours.
Finally, given that three-quarters of working-age adults are active in the labor market (or around 12 million of the 16-17 million with Long Covid), Brookings estimated that two to four million full-time equivalent workers are out of the labor force due to Long Covid. The range of the figure suggests that almost 2 percent of the labor force that has been disabled. This estimate has been substantiated by the Bank of England, which recently noted that labor force participation had dropped by 1.3 percent in the UK due to “long-term sickness,” i.e., Long Covid.
The pandemic has killed 260,000 working-age adults in the US, about one in 820, making it one of the leading causes of death in this age bracket. These statistics, however, only tell part of the story.
Another study published last week in The Lancet Public Health, which reviewed Covid-19 and excess mortality among working-age residents of California, found that essential workers in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation/logistics, facilities, and emergency services were dying of Covid at twice the rate of all workers in the state. Meanwhile, those in non-essential sectors were dying at only half the rate, or four times lower than their essential counterparts.
A study from late December 2021, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, found that socioeconomically disadvantaged regions in the US experienced a 31 percent heavier mortality burden as compared to more well-off areas.
These findings are similar to those from a study conducted by the University of South Florida’s (USF) College of Public Health. In the first year of the pandemic, the USF researchers found that those in low socioeconomic levels died of Covid at a rate five times higher...
From Friday 9 September, isolation requirements for people with Covid and no symptoms will be cut from seven days to five, despite it being well established that transmission without symptoms does occur. We offer this opinion piece as an example of how mainstream medical personal are reacting to sensible reductions of Covid behavioral mandates.
This is a decision made by the National Cabinet following ‘fresh advice from Chief Medical Officer Michael Kidd’. This advice was unwritten, and no modelling was presented to the Cabinet.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has refused to release this “fresh advice” despite the Australian Medical Association, which was not consulted, expressing considerable confusion as to what the advice could possibly be.
For a new government committed to transparency, refusal to release health advice on the reduction of isolation periods appears, at first blush, an invitation to mistrust and suspicion. After all, if there is new advice that this is an appropriate move, why not release it?
Instead, after pledging to change the way politics is done in this country, the PM has chosen to maintain a secrecy set in motion by former PM Scott Morrison, as well as passing the responsibility to the states for informing people (or not).
Interestingly, none of the leaders who form the National Cabinet appears to be inclined to share this “fresh advice” with those who elected them.
If there are sound reasons for concealment, it would behoove Mr Albanese to reveal them. To refuse to reveal both the advice and the reason for concealing it is a serious blow to the Government’s commitment to transparency. That the issue is centered around the significant matter of public health in the midst of a pandemic only makes transparency more necessary and urgent.
Reducing the isolation period from seven to five days does not conclusively reduce the infectious period, a fact that seems to have escaped politicians and business leaders, many of whom appear to credit the virus with a biddable consciousness. Because politicians demand a shorter period of isolation does not mean the virus will co-operate and cease to spread.
This thinking is in the same vein as former U.S. President Donald Trump’s unforgettable observation that if you don’t test as many for Covid, fewer people will have it.
For some time now, we have heard various political and business leaders claim that “we cannot continue to treat this [pandemic] as an emergency”, that “people are tired” of restrictions and it is time to move on, accepting Covid as we do flu and winter colds. Pandemic fatigue is indisputably a thing and has been for some time now.
However, this arguably has as much to do with how the narrative is framed as it does with the real inconvenience the virus continues to impose on our daily lives.
For example, there really is no need to continue describing Covid as an “emergency” in the sense of lockdowns and border closures. It is no longer being treated as such – despite infections, hospitalisations and deaths – and hasn’t been for some time.
If you tell people they’re in an emergency situation they need to get out of while simultaneously behaving as if they are not, stress, fatigue, confusion and resentment will be the result.
Instead of pushing the “we cannot continue to live in an emergency” narrative, we could instead frame Covid as it now is — an ongoing virus that we should be doing everything reasonable to avoid spreading. The conflation of lockdowns and border closures with masking and other non-demanding precautions has caused us to ditch everything and depend entirely on vaccination.
There is a vast difference between wearing a mask and closing a border, yet our leaders would have you believe they have the same impact on our daily lives.
Protecting ourselves and others against infection should not be described as being in a state of emergency — it should be a daily part of life to which we can ad...
A Tel Aviv University (TAU) research team has found two antibodies that can neutralize Covid-19 with such effectiveness that additional vaccinations may soon be unnecessary. Of the pair, TAU-1109 (named for the university) neutralizes Omicron, the latest variant, with 92% effectiveness and its immediate predecessor, Delta, with an efficacy of 90%. TAU-2310 nullifies Delta with 97% success and Omicron to an 84% level. According to lead researcher Dr. Natalia Freund of the Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology Department in TAU’s Sackler School of Medicine, the antibodies work against all the Covid variants. With such a weapon in hand when people get infected, she hopes, “We will not have to provide booster doses to the entire population every time there is a new variant.” Like untold numbers of medical professionals around the world, Freund, together with doctoral students Michael Mor and Ruofan Lee, have been working on ways to combat the pandemic ever since it broke out at the beginning of 2020.
The team examined antibodies from patients who had recovered from the virus and found several that were particularly effective – those that bind the ACE2 receptor of the spike protein of the coronavirus.
Patients began receiving infusions of these antibodies to help lessen the severity of their infections from the original strain – until the virus started evolving. “When the other variants of the coronavirus arrived…they made most of those antibodies useless,” Freund explained. What Freund and her team discovered is that two of the antibodies, which hadn’t worked very well against the original strain, were highly effective against later variants. The reason? While the newer strains had variations of the spike protein tied to the ACE2 receptor, the two special antibodies bind to a different part of the protein.
“This area seemingly does not undergo many mutations,” she said, “so they are effective in neutralizing all the variants we checked, and in practice, neutralizing all the Corona variants known until today.”
The team sent TAU-1109 and TAU-2310 to be tested against live strains of the virus in labs in the University of California, and against pseudo-strains in Bar Ilan University labs, and both replicated the success rate that her team had achieved.
“In our opinion, spot treatment with antibodies and supplying the body with them in high concentrations can serve as an effective substitute for vaccines, especially for at-risk populations and people with a weakened immune system,” she added. “Corona infection can cause serious illness, and we know that giving antibodies in the first days after infection can stop the spread of the virus.”
The research was published in the August edition of the peer-reviewed journal, Communications Biology.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperated to issue Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) and roll out new, bivalent Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines this week, without any human trials, which is unprecedented. There is international coordination regarding bivalent boosters, and a major effort will be undertaken to get them into arms, despite historically low levels of severe Covid-19. Why?
These vaccines continue to enjoy extraordinary protection from liability, while the recipient has no access to the legal system in the case of injury. There is no evidence the new vaccines are safe, while there is limited evidence that they may be more harmful than earlier Covid-19 vaccines. However, in the absence of human testing, there is no way to truly predict their safety. Safety data are being concealed by federal health agencies. Messaging by them is misleading.
There is no evidence the new bivalent vaccines will be more effective than the older vaccines, and existing evidence suggests that any efficacy they provide will persist no longer than one to several months.
Covid-19 vaccines appear to increase susceptibility to Covid-19 infections, on average starting six months after inoculation.
Perpetual boosters briefly stave off the negative efficacy that develops a few months after a Covid-19 vaccination. This may be why frequent boosters are being pushed. But frequent boosters may also weaken overall immunity and may even contribute to rising mortality rates in the U.S. and U.K.
The FDA on Aug. 31 issued EUA for new Pfizer and Moderna mRNA booster vaccines for Covid-19.
One day later, the CDC and its director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, approved the immediate rollout of the new vaccines, which will be administered in the U.S. beginning this week.
Surprisingly, more than a month before either agency had given its okay to the entirely new formulation, the federal government ordered 105 million doses from Pfizer and 66 million doses from Moderna.
The desired composition of the vaccine had only been formally determined by the FDA after its advisory committee met on June 24.
The vaccines contain a mix of the old, original Wuhan strain vaccine mRNA (now also referred to as the ancestral vaccine) and a new Omicron BA.4/5 mRNA coding for the Omicron spike protein.
The total amount of mRNA for the Pfizer and Moderna booster vaccines is the same as before: 30 mcg for Pfizer and 50 mcg for Moderna. Each is composed of 50% Omicron mRNA and 50% ancestral mRNA, and thus they are termed bivalent vaccines. The new vials and their boxes do not list the dose, hinting that the decision regarding how much to use was made very recently. Even the members of the CDC’s advisory committee did not know the dosage of the new bivalent vaccines until their Sept. 1 meeting. This is the fastest rollout of a new vaccine in world history. And instead of this being a tale of human grit and ingenuity, it is a tale of human weakness and recklessness. How did such a rapid vaccine rollout occur?
It occurred the only way it could possibly occur: by bending the rules, creating a new regulatory playbook and failing to obtain any human data for the new vaccines.
The manufacturers did not have to go through months-long trials, and the FDA did not have to pore over any human trial data, because there weren’t any.
Let that sink in: The new BA.4/5 bivalent vaccines were tested only in mice, not humans. Unexpected international coordination Here is an amazing fact: On Sept. 1, the same day the CDC approved the vaccine program, health agencies in Canada, Switzerland and the European Medicines Association (the EU’s equivalent to the FDA) also rolled out new, bivalent booster shot programs.
Almost simultaneously, the U.K. authorized two different bivalent boosters, on Aug. 15 and Sept. 3.
The U.K. told people to expect the largest rollout in history for the new biva...
University Covid-19 vaccine mandates are unethical because the vaccines are up to nearly 100 times more likely to cause a person of student age serious injury than prevent him or her from being hospitalized with Covid-19, a new study has concluded. The study, whose authors include Dr. Kevin Bardosh, a recipient of funding from the pro-vaccination Wellcome Trust led by Sir Jeremy Farrar, and Dr. Tracy Beth Høeg of the Florida Department of Health, presents a risk-benefit assessment of booster vaccines among people of student age and provides five ethical arguments against mandates.
The researchers estimate that 22,000-30,000 previously uninfected adults aged 18-29 must be boosted with an mRNA vaccine to prevent just one Covid-19 hospitalization. In the study, which is currently undergoing peer-review, the authors analyze CDC and reported adverse event data and find that booster mandates are likely to cause a net expected harm.
They estimate that for every Covid-19 hospitalization prevented in previously uninfected young adults, 18 to 98 serious adverse events will occur, including 1.7 to 3.0 booster-associated myocarditis cases in males, and 1,373 to 3,234 cases of serious injury which interferes with daily activities.
The authors add that given the high level of natural immunity following infection, the actual risk-benefit profile is even less favorable.
On the basis of this evidence they argue that university booster mandates are unethical because:
no formal risk-benefit assessment exists for the age group; vaccine mandates may result in a net expected harm to individual young people; mandates are not proportionate: expected harms are not outweighed by public health benefits given the modest and transient effectiveness of vaccines against transmission; U.S. mandates violate the reciprocity principle because rare serious vaccine-related harms will not be reliably compensated due to gaps in current vaccine injury schemes; and mandates create wider social harms.
They consider counterarguments, such as a desire for socialization and safety, and show that such arguments are weak and lack scientific and ethical support. Continue reading on dailysceptic.org
U.S. drug regulators are refusing to provide key analyses of a Covid-19 vaccine safety database, claiming that the factual findings cannot be separated by internal discussions protected by law. The Epoch Times asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July for all analyses performed by the agency for the Covid-19 vaccines using a method called Empirical Bayesian data mining, which involves comparing the adverse events recorded after a specific Covid-19 vaccine with those recorded after vaccination with non-Covid-19 vaccines. According to operating procedures laid out by the agency and its partner in January 2021 and February 2022, the FDA would perform data mining “at least biweekly” to identify adverse events “reported more frequently than expected following vaccination with Covid-19 vaccines.” The agency would perform the mining on data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
In a recent response, the FDA records office told The Epoch Times that it would not provide any of the analyses, even in redacted form. The agency cited an exemption to the Freedom of Information Act that lets the government withhold inter-agency and intra-agency memorandums and letters “that would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency.”
The agency also pointed to the Code of Federal Regulations, which says that “all communications within the Executive Branch of the Federal government which are in written form or which are subsequently reduced to writing may be withheld from public disclosure except that factual information which is reasonably segregable in accordance with the rule established in § 20.22 is available for public disclosure.” It’s not clear why the FDA could not produce copies of the analyses with non-factual information redacted. The Epoch Times has appealed the determination by the records office. The FDA declined to comment, citing the appeal. ‘Unacceptable’ Kim Witczak, co-founder of Woodymatters, a nonprofit that advocates for a stronger FDA and drug safety system, said the agency’s refusal to provide the analyses was not acceptable.
“The secrecy is unacceptable for an agency that said it is transparent with the public about vaccine safety,” Witczak, who sits on one of the FDA’s outside advisory panels, told The Epoch Times.
“What’s the point of having VAERS if you’re not releasing it to the public?” she added.
Witczak said her concerns about vaccine safety were heightened by a recent paper from Dr. Joseph Fraiman and others that found a higher incidence of serious adverse events in vaccinated participants in the original Pfizer and Moderna vaccine trials than in placebo recipients. She noted that the FDA’s 2004 warning for antidepressants that the drugs could increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior came over 10 years after the trials on which it was based.
“If this data is available, shame on you for not making it known to the public,” Witczak said. “It’s as if they don’t trust the people to make their own best decision for what’s good for them and their families.” CDC The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to the documents outlining operating procedures, was going to perform a different type of data mining analyses, called Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR) mining.
The CDC has also refused, so far, to provide the results for those analyses.
It has also twice provided false information when responding to questions.
The agency initially said that no PRR analyses were done and that data mining is “outside of th[e] agency’s purview.” The agency then said that it did perform PRRs, starting in February 2021.
Later, the agency acknowledged that wasn’t true. The agency did not begin performing PRRs until March 2022, a spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
Roger Andoh, a records officer, gave the initial response, citing the CDC’s Immunization and Safety Office. Dr. John Su, a CDC official,
A journalist of over 20 years within Canada’s mainstream media sphere is calling out the industry for pushing a specific narrative during the Covid-19 so-called pandemic. In an interview with Bright Light News, journalist Rodney Palmer, who spent two decades working for various mainstream outlets, including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CTV News, and the Toronto Star among others, called out his fellow media colleagues for “misrepresenting” the story surrounding the Covid pandemic. “I first started wondering if all the smart people retired or went and tried to earn better money,” Palmer joked at the start of the interview when talking about the mainstream media’s coverage of the so-called pandemic.
“Then I started to realize they can’t all be that dumb as to be missing and misreporting the Covid story, in particular, the numbers … ” the award-winning journalist added. Specifically, Palmer recalled that he first became concerned with the Covid coverage when he noticed the media stopped saying “deaths from Covid” and began saying “Covid-related deaths.”
“I thought, ‘That’s a very specific change, and it means something, why aren’t they telling us what it means?'” Palmer told Bright Light News. “Covid-related could mean a symptom that’s similar to Covid but actually has no relation, it’s ambiguous, and ambiguity is not what they [the media] strive for.” “So, it had to be a top-down directive somewhere along the line for them to so consistently be misreporting this story,” the journalist explained. Palmer then mentioned that this misrepresentation by the mainstream media was made even more apparent during the anti-Covid mandate “Freedom Convoy” protest in Ottawa in February.
The journalist explained that he happened to be in Ottawa when the protest was beginning, and the reports he was hearing from the media, including statements from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that characterized the Convoy supporters as “right-wing extremists,” contradicted the family friendly environment he was seeing on the ground.
“It felt like the Sunday fair … the mood was consistently jubilant,” relayed Palmer, adding that he saw everything from “kids in strollers” to “African-American evangelists” handing out Bibles and enjoying the pro-freedom festivities.
“[The mainstream media] had a predetermined approach to the story, and they were going for that predetermined approach, reality be damned … ” the longtime reporter continued in the interview.
Describing the current state of the media, Palmer said the “standard of journalism” that he was required to uphold for “20 years” has been abandoned in favor of “advocacy for a point of view.”
Palmer also explained that while news outlets sometimes made “errors” while he was a prominent member of the field nearly two decades ago, it could generally be explained as an unintentional “mistake” and not an instance of the outlet engaging in “malicious” deception.
“But today, it’s a different story,” the former foreign correspondent stated. “There is definitely an agenda being pushed forth, particularly about Covid.”
Palmer highlighted the media’s coverage of Dr. Daniel Nagase, who was accused of spreading “misinformation” by Alberta health authorities when he spoke about the success he had treating Covid patients with the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin.
“[Contrary to mainstream coverage] the story is not [about] ‘misinformation’ … the story is, ‘a doctor cured Covid with a pill that cost a nickel,'” he stressed.
Palmer is not the first member of the media to accuse mainstream Canadian outlets of intentionally misleading the public in favor of pushing an agenda.
In January, LifeSiteNews reported that former CBC producer and journalist Tara Henley wrote a scathing column accusing the state-funded outlet of pushing a “woke” and “radical political agenda,” both in-house and to the public.
In the column, Henley said the CBC effectively requires its employees to “embr...
A Wisconsin hospital this week said it is withdrawing medical and religious exemptions for some employees from the hospital’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate, giving those employees until Sept. 21 to get the Novavax vaccine. Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, which operates 11 hospitals and more than 45 health centers and clinics throughout the Midwest and employs more than 2,000 physicians, in an email said the Novavax vaccine option “eliminates conflicts” for those who originally declined Covid-19 vaccination for religious or medical reasons.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July granted Emergency Use Authorization of the Novavax Covid-19 vaccine for adults ages 18 and up. While the prior Covid-19 vaccines made by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson used fetal cell lines from unborn fetuses in various stages of development and testing, the Novavax vaccine is made differently and does not use human fetal cell lines.
Froedtert employees who don’t get the first Novavax dose by Sept. 21 will be terminated as Froedtert will consider them to have “voluntarily resigned,” the company said.
The hospital said in a statement: “Froedtert Health requires staff and providers be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 as a federal requirement that is monitored for compliance. We join many other health systems around southeast Wisconsin and the U.S. that have made vaccination a condition of employment.
“The Novavax vaccination for Covid-19 is now available. This protein-based vaccination option eliminates conflicts for those staff with religious or medical exemptions caused by mRNA-based vaccines and other concerns.
“Since those staff are now eligible for a vaccination that does not conflict with their religious beliefs or medical situation, their exemption will expire. This affects a small percentage of staff with a vaccine exemption. Eligible staff continue to be exempt from a Covid-19 vaccine for religious and medical reasons.
“Froedtert Health respects the right of staff and providers to engage in activity protected by state and federal law.” A Froedtert employee who spoke anonymously to WISN 12 News on Wednesday said Froedtert’s abrupt demand will have negative repercussions. “Anyone in healthcare knows we’re very understaffed and overworked right now and this is just going to take away a lot of nurses from the bedside,” she said. “This will affect patient care and safety.”
Although according to Froedtert, as of October 2021 — their most recent count — nearly 99% of their employees had been vaccinated against Covid-19, the employee said she thought about 100 nurses would be affected.
The employee, a Catholic, said the previous vaccines were against her religious beliefs because of the ingredients. However, the Novavax vaccine also goes against her religious beliefs, she said. “Now that we’re two, almost three years into this [Covid-19 pandemic] and we know more, we should be able to make our own educated decision,” she said.
She added: “It’s my body, my temple. God is within us. If we’re uncomfortable, or not sure about something, then we shouldn’t do it.” The employee said she’s presently unsure what she will do.
“I carry the health insurance for our family. I have a week to decide if I feel comfortable taking this vaccine otherwise I honestly don’t know. I don’t know if any other healthcare facilities in this area even take exemptions,” she said.
Froedtert officials said their recent exemption withdrawal complies with federal regulations that mandate all employees must be vaccinated against Covid-19 or have legitimate religious or medical exemptions.
Mark Goldstein, an employment lawyer, told WISN 12 News employees affected by the mandate could “attempt to recast their religious exemption as a more generalized claim.”
“Quick frankly,” he added, “some of it depends on how strident they are in that regard.”
The hospital’s requirement is that employees be fully vaccinated against...
Scientists have developed a virus-killing plastic that could make it harder for bugs, including Covid, to spread in hospitals and care homes. The team at Queen's University Belfast say their plastic film is cheap and could be fashioned into protective gear such as aprons. It works by reacting with light to release chemicals that break the virus. The study showed it could kill viruses by the million, even in tough species which linger on clothes and surfaces.
The research was accelerated as part of the UK's response to the Covid pandemic.
Studies had shown the Covid virus was able to survive for up to 72 hours on some surfaces, but that is nothing compared to sturdier species. Norovirus - known as the winter vomiting bug - can survive outside the body for two weeks while waiting for somebody new to infect.
The team of chemists and virologists investigated self-sterilizing materials that reduce the risk of contaminated surfaces spreading infections.
The plastic sheets sterilize themselves when exposed to light.
The idea is to make a material so hostile to a virus that it cannot survive there. The metal copper has been shown to kill microbes on contact, but is not very flexible.
So the researchers used thin sheets of plastic that contained nanoparticles of titanium dioxide. These react with ultraviolet light - even the tiny amount released from a fluorescent bulb - to release molecules called reactive oxygen species.
These are just itching to get involved in any chemical reaction. They react with the virus's genetic material, the proteins it uses to invade our body and the fatty sphere that holds it all together. The end result is a dead and useless virus.
"This is the first time that anything like this has been developed," said Prof Andrew Mills, from the university's chemistry department.
He added: "This film could replace many of the disposable plastic films used in the healthcare industry as it has the added value of being self-sterilizing at no real extra cost."
The material was tested in the laboratory against four types of virus - two influenzas, the Covid virus and a picornavirus, which has the traits that make a virus highly stable outside the body.
In controlled laboratory conditions, about one million virus particles were placed on the self-sterilizing plastic. This is far beyond the amount of virus that would be needed to start an infection.
"It goes from one million viruses down to nothing, and we can see an effect in less than one hour and maximum death in two hours," said Dr Connor Bamford, from the school of medicine at Queen's.
"But we are adding a super-amount of virus to really challenge the system, it is likely there is an effect in the first few minutes."
The researchers aim to fashion their plastic into protective equipment used in hospitals.
He said current personal protective equipment used in hospitals did a good job, but "infections can take place when you take off or put on the PPE, so this can help".
Other areas being investigated include hospital tablecloths and curtains, as well as in the food processing industry.
However, it will take proper trials in the real world to work out how big a difference self-sterilizing protective gear could make.
The study has been published in the journal of Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology. Continue reading on www.bbc.com
Some companies are rolling back mandates for employee Covid vaccination — but few are making official public statements about it. Why it matters: These moves signal that we’ve shifted into a new chapter of the pandemic — and that employers are desperate to get people back to the office.
Employers are trying to reduce any barriers to entry for new hires, says Erin Grau, co-founder of Charter, a media and services company focused on the future of work, who's hearing from executives who are dropping their mandates. The requirements are also expensive and time-consuming for employers — another reason to stop, she adds.
What's happening: “[Companies] decided that the rationale for [mandates] had become weak enough that they don’t want to continue,” Jeff Levin-Scherz, population health leader at Willis Towers Watson, tells Axios.
Yes, but: There's a risk that dropping these requirements would make some workers less willing to mingle with their colleagues — for fear of becoming sick.
Companies mostly don't want to talk about this, seeing little upside given the controversial history of mandates. But a few large employers' plans are public:
Starting this week, Goldman Sachs lifted vaccination requirements everywhere but New York City, where it still has a mandate for workplaces. "With many tools including vaccination, improved treatments and testing now available, there is significantly less risk of severe illness," Goldman told employees in a memo announcing the change, obtained by Axios. In June, Cisco stopped requiring vaccination for "office entry, travel, event attendance, or visiting customers, partners, and other third parties,” per its website. JPMorgan Chase said it would start hiring unvaccinated individuals again back in March.
Zoom out: The White House yesterday called on businesses to take certain actions to protect employees and customers from Covid-19 this fall. Mandates weren't on the list.
Instead, the administration says employers should be "helping their employees access updated Covid-19 vaccines." The White House also recommends employers share information on treatment options and improve indoor air quality, as well as provide paid time off for anyone getting a shot. There are other things employers can do, as well, like telling people not to come in if they're sick, and, "if possible, offer remote work for those with symptoms," says Dr. Leana Wen, a public health professor at George Washington University.
Between the lines: Things have changed a lot since these mandates were first put in place last year — a time when vaccination was seen as very effective against spreading disease. Now with the variants, that's less true, Wen says.
"At this point in the pandemic, the case for vaccine mandates is much weaker than it was in 2021," she adds.
But not all companies are giving up on mandates. Many hospitals and other healthcare providers do require vaccination.
Google, Edelman and Facebook told Axios Seattle reporter Melissa Santos that employees who enter the office must be vaccinated.
Seven other employers she contacted were less forthcoming.
Microsoft, which has set a standard that employees spend 50% of their time in the office, declined to comment. Salesforce, which runs Seattle-based Tableau, would only say they follow all state and local health requirements. (Most private employers aren’t required to impose vaccine mandates.)
The bottom line: We're in a new era — for now. Everyone's watching to see what happens with cases in the fall. Continue reading on www.axios.com
University Covid-19 vaccine mandates are unethical because the vaccines are up to nearly 100 times more likely to cause a person of student age serious injury than prevent him or her from being hospitalized with Covid-19, a new study has concluded. The study, whose authors include Dr. Kevin Bardosh, a recipient of funding from the pro-vaccination Wellcome Trust led by Sir Jeremy Farrar, and Dr. Tracy Beth Høeg of the Florida Department of Health, presents a risk-benefit assessment of booster vaccines among people of student age and provides five ethical arguments against mandates.
The researchers estimate that 22,000–30,000 previously uninfected adults aged 18–29 must be boosted with an mRNA vaccine to prevent just one Covid-19 hospitalization. In the study, which is currently undergoing peer-review, the authors analyze CDC and reported adverse event data and find that booster mandates are likely to cause a net expected harm.
They estimate that for every Covid-19 hospitalization prevented in previously uninfected young adults, 18 to 98 serious adverse events will occur, including 1.7 to 3.0 booster-associated myocarditis cases in males, and 1,373 to 3,234 cases of serious injury which interferes with daily activities.
The authors add that given the high level of natural immunity following infection now present in the population, the actual risk-benefit profile is even less favorable.
On the basis of this evidence they argue that university booster mandates are unethical because:
No formal risk-benefit assessment exists for the age group; Vaccine mandates may result in a net expected harm to individual young people; Mandates are not proportionate: expected harms are not outweighed by public health benefits given the modest and transient effectiveness of vaccines against transmission; U.S. mandates violate the reciprocity principle because rare serious vaccine-related harms will not be reliably compensated due to gaps in current vaccine injury schemes; and Mandates create wider social harms.
They consider counterarguments, such as a desire for socialization and safety, and show that such arguments are weak and lack scientific and ethical support.
The authors include Dr. Vinay Prasad of the University of California and Dr. Martin A. Makary and Dr. Stefan Baral of Johns Hopkins University. A previous intervention in February by many of the same authors, published in BMJ Global Health, took a strong ethical stance against vaccine coercion in the form of mandates and passports.
It’s been clear for some time that the cost-benefit assessment of the vaccines will not be favorable for young people. But with leading scientists, including some funded by pro-vaccination organizations like the Wellcome Trust, now putting the case in top journals, hopefully the message will get through to politicians and administrators, especially in America, who continue to impose vaccine requirements on young adults.
While the present paper is focused on vaccine coercion, its arguments also apply more generally to the offer of vaccination to young adults, and raise questions as to whether vaccine recipients are being fully apprised of the risks and likely benefits before consenting to the inoculation.

When reports first surfaced in 2021 that some cases of myocarditis — the inflammation of the heart muscle, potentially leading to blood clots and heart attack or stroke — were potentially associated with the Covid-19 vaccine, the corporate media and its fact checkers were quick to label them as misinformation, saying the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh its small risks. A year later, though, the media can no longer deny that what they called misinformation actually has data to back it up. As Matt Shapiro detailed in his Substack post on the matter, “Last year’s misinformation on vaccine-associated myocarditis in young men is this year’s well-established fact.”
According to Vaccine Safety Datalink surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted in 2022, within a week of receiving the “Dose 2 Primary Series” of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, there were 14 verified cases of myocarditis or pericarditis among the 102,091 males aged 16-17 who got the shot. Among the nearly 206,000 12-15-year-old males who received the same series, 31 cases were confirmed within a week.
These numbers might seem small or meaningless, but in context, they represent a significant departure from last year’s conventional wisdom pushed by health bureaucrats and parroted by the media: In 2021, the CDC’s reported rates of myocarditis during the 0-7 day “risk period” following vaccination were significantly lower compared to recent numbers.
For instance, in August last year, the CDC reported 42.6 per million cases and 71.5 per million cases for 12-15 and 16-17-year-old males, respectively, but now the health agency admits those incidence rates are actually 150.5 per million for the younger group and 137.1 per million for the older. Among 16- and 17-year-old males, the incidence rate jumps to a whopping 188 per million following the first booster, with 9 of the 47,874 developing heart inflammation in the week after that shot.
While rates from the latest CDC study are “3-5 times higher for young men than what the CDC was reporting this time last year,” other health experts, whom the media discredited, were ahead of the curve. Data from a study conducted by Tracy Hoeg, MD, Ph.D., and others in 2021 aligns with the latest CDC numbers from 2022.
The doctors reported a rate of 94 cases of “cardiac adverse events” per million for 16-17-year-old males and 162 per million for 12-15-year-old males. While this is compatible with the latest CDC study, the corporate media and its fact-checkers labeled it misinformation when it was published last year.
Following the Hoeg study’s publication, the British Medical Journal claimed critics called the study “deeply flawed” and said it delivered “an antivaccine message.” PolitiFact reported that posts about myocarditis risk on Facebook “were flagged as part” of the platform’s “efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.” Big Tech used these so-called fact-checks to censor good-faith Americans, dissenting medical experts, and even lawmakers who questioned the CDC’s vaccinations-for-all narrative.
For example, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., was labeled “fundamentally dangerous” in his efforts to let Americans discuss adverse reactions they experienced after receiving Covid shots. The Wisconsin senator’s YouTube channel was also temporarily suspended in November 2021 — for the fifth time — after posting “a video of a panel on vaccine-related injuries” that was deemed “Covid misinformation.” Yet adverse effects do occur, as even the CDC has acknowledged, including the aforementioned vaccine-associated myocarditis.
Efforts to quash alternative research prevented members of the public from considering this information, which would have allowed them to make better-informed decisions about the Covid jab for themselves and their children. As Hoeg wrote on Twitter, “If we hadn’t been vilified [sic] as ‘anti-vaxxers’ spreading ‘mis’ & ‘disinform...
Pfizer projects it will generate record-high revenue in 2022, saying Tuesday it expects to sell $32 billion of its Covid-19 shots and $22 billion of its antiviral coronavirus treatment pill Paxlovid this year. However, the company posted mixed fourth-quarter results, beating on earnings but missing on revenue. Pfizer’s stock was down more than 5.7% in morning trading.
Here’s how the company performed compared to what Wall Street expected, based on analysts’ average estimates compiled by Refinitiv:
Adjusted EPS: $1.08 vs. 87 cents expected Revenue: $23.84 billion vs. $24.12 billion expected
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said sales of Paxlovid could be higher than the company’s guidance, but the expectations are based on deals signed or close to being signed. Angela Hwang, head of biopharmaceuticals, said Pfizer is an active discussions with over 100 countries around the world on Paxlovid.
Pfizer’s miss on revenue was driven by lackluster sales in its internal medicine and hospital segments. Fourth-quarter internal medicine sales fell 3% year-over-year to $2.24 billion, while hospital sales were largely flat at $1.88 billion. Pfizer’s oncology sales expanded 7% to $3.24 billion compared with the year-earlier period.
Pfizer’s balance sheet is ‘bulletproof’ thanks to Covid vaccine, says DCLA’s Sethi
However, Pfizer’s fourth-quarter revenue more than doubled overall to $23.84 billion year-over-year, driven by $12.5 billion in sales of its Covid vaccine. The company’s antiviral pill that fights Covid, Paxlovid, contributed $76 million in U.S. sales during the fourth quarter. The Food and Drug Administration gave the pill emergency approval in December.
On an unadjusted basis, Pfizer’s fourth-quarter profit increased more than fourfold to $3.39 billion from $847 million during the same three months in 2020. Pfizer expects $98 billion to $102 billion in sales for 2022, and adjusted earnings per share of $6.35 to $6.55.
Bourla said the company plans to aggressively expand the use of the Covid vaccine’s underlying technology, messenger RNA, to treat rare genetic diseases of the liver, muscle and central nervous system through a collaboration with Beam Therapeutics. Bourla said the company also hopes to reduce the time to produce new vaccines from three months to two months as it explores automated solutions to produce mRNA in collaboration with Codex DNA. Pfizer is also developing a shingles vaccine with BioNTech.
Chief Scientific Officer Mikael Dolsten said a phase two or three study of an mRNA flu vaccine could start this year and conclude in 2023. Pfizer could also have a readout of clinical trials from its respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, vaccine sometime in the second quarter.
Pfizer started a clinical trial late last month of a Covid vaccine that targets the omicron variant in adults ages 18 to 55. Dolsten said Pfizer expects data in the coming weeks on the omicron vaccine. Bourla has previously said the company expects to have the vaccine ready by March.
Pfizer and its partner BioNTech also are working with the FDA to expedite authorization of their Covid vaccine for children under 5 years old this month, the last age group left in the U.S. that is not eligible for immunization. The companies expect kids under 5 will ultimately need three doses, but they are working to get the first two shots FDA authorized while they finish trials on the third dose.
Bourla said the eradication of Covid is unlikely because the global spread of the virus makes it difficult to contain and it mutates often. Data also indicates that natural infection does not lead to durable protection needed to prevent transmission and mutations, he said.
In addition, the company also working to ramp up production and delivery of Paxlovid. Bourla said Pfizer expects to produce 6 million courses in the first quarter and 120 million by year-end.
The U.S. government has ordered 20 million courses,
An analysis by two German university professors of government data implicates Covid-19 vaccination as a factor in excess deaths in Germany, however, public health officials in Germany, the U.S. and elsewhere continue to ignore safety signals. Truth was the first casualty in the war on Covid-19.
Trusted sources of medical information became propaganda outlets and when that wasn’t enough, governments that controlled the raw data on which medical analysis was based withheld and even falsified that data.
All along, we have been piecing together indirect evidence. It paints a picture of a devastating toll from vaccine injuries in the past year. No drug product in the past has come close to causing injuries on this scale. Injuries from the worst vaccines occurred at a rate of about 1/90th of the mRNA vaccines.
Thalidomide maimed tens of thousands of European babies, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was still protecting us in 1961. Compare this to 1.4 million vaccine injuries and 30,000 deaths in the last year-and-a-half, counting only those that were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS. The only comparable drug disaster was oxycontin, which led to about 20,000 overdose deaths in its worst year.
The evidence is radioactive. No one in government wants to count up the deaths and injuries because of the political ramifications. Most medical researchers, even at universities, depend on money from the National Institutes of Health and the drug industry.
Hence, it’s refreshing to see an honest analysis of apparently honest government data. The analysis comes from Christof Kuhbandner and Matthias Reitzner, professors of sociology and mathematics, respectively, at two German universities.
The data is from the German Federal Statistical Office (Bundesamt für Statistik). I’m grateful to a fellow Substacker who writes under the pseudonym Eugyppius for calling my attention to this article and placing it in context.
Of course, what we would like to have is a count of deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19 and corresponding counts for deaths and hospitalizations due to the vaccines. This data has been disguised or deleted by governments around the world. The very definition of causality has been gamed for these two cases.
Draw your own conclusions.
But data on all-cause mortality are more difficult to disguise or reinterpret, as our two authors are quick to point out. This is a simple list of people who died, together with their age and sex, and with no overlaid story about how they met their demise.
The point is that we can find patterns in this data that hold implications for Covid-19 epidemiology and policy. The data: Whatever started killing young, healthy people in Germany began in April 2021 Here’s the bottom line: In 2020, we see a slight excess of death in the oldest age group, too small to be significant. In 2021, we see a large excess of death in young and middle-aged people.
Credit: Christof Kuhbandner and Matthias Reitzner
Figure 5 (above) from the paper shows that even though Covid-19 was ravaging the globe in 2020, and Covid-19 deaths were heavily concentrated in the elderly, we can barely detect a (statistically insignificant) rise in mortality in 2020, for the oldest of the old.
This suggests that in 2020, Covid-19 deaths were largely confined to people who were old and sick, and would probably have died of something else if the virus had not hit them first.
But look at mortality in 2021. We see excess mortality in all the younger age groups. Yet once again, for the second year of Covid-19, there was nothing significant in people over 80.
If we think of 2021 as “the year of the vaccine,” our first impression is that the vaccine was a wash for people over 80 — the vaccine cost about as many lives as it saved.
But for people younger than 80, the costs outweighed the benefits.
Governments and their mouthpieces in the media would like ...
Emails obtained through a public records request show that the California Teachers Association (CTA) – one of the most powerful teachers unions in the state – spied on parents who fought for schools to be reopened during the Covid-19 pandemic. In March 2021, Parents Association, a group of parents at multiple school districts in Northern San Diego County, successfully sued the state to reopen schools.
The following month, a CTA researcher named Ann Swinburn emailed a parent arm of the local union seeking to share information on parents.
Amid email exchanges, one of the parties accidentally CC’d a principal within the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD), which was sued by its local union – with help from CTA – in December 2020 to stay closed. Realizing their mistake, someone appeared to suggest the principal should delete the email – which he ultimately did not do.
Allison Stratton, one of the founders of Parents Association and an SDUHSD parent, filed a Public Records Act request to obtain the emails. Stratton told Fox News the emails confirmed her suspicions that CTA was spying on parents. "We already suspected (it) because we see the same people show up at every school board meeting saying the same things, echoing what the union is saying. So, it’s not a surprise," Stratton said. "They were working as hard as they could against parents who wanted school reopened." Fox News has reached out multiple times to the CTA for comment but did not hear back before publication. By Tuesday, Swinburn’s Twitter account was deleted.
Several archived tweets shared by Reopen California Schools, show that Swinburn appeared to be convinced that parent groups fighting to reopen schools were covertly being backed by big money interests.
Lance Christensen, who is a candidate for California Superintendent of Public Instruction, called the email revelations "startling and disgusting." "Conducting opposition research is a common practice in political campaigns. But to have the teachers' union dedicate personnel to politically target moms and dads protecting their own children and expressing their first amendment rights is both startling and disgusting," Christensen said in a statement to Fox News.
He added: "Entrenched special interests have used their war chests over the last two and a half years to intimidate and threaten anyone who dares to challenge their ineffective reign over public education. This must end." Randi Weingarten: Very few teachers go into the profession wanting to be 'social justice warriors' but politicians cause them to be one American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten said during a back to school town hall with Education Secretary Miguel Cardona that people don't become teachers to be social justice warriors.

In 2021, Georgian nurse Megi Brakadze, 27, was one of the first patients to take the AtraZeneca vaccine. Within 24 hours she was dead. Doctors tried to restart her heart but were not able to revive her completely.
For some reason, Megi’s story did not make the headlines. It was not allowed.
Megi’s death came a week after Italian clarinet teacher, Sandro Tognatti, died following the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab.

GPs saw their earnings rise to £142,000 during the pandemic in a Covid pay boom, new data show. The official NHS figures reveal that as surgeries closed their doors to patients, routinely restricting face-to-face appointments, doctors’ incomes rose to unprecedented heights. GP partners – who make up the majority of family doctors – saw average incomes rise by £20,000 to £142,000 in the 12 months after the first lockdown.
The 17 per cent rise, the largest on record, came as the NHS moved to a system of “total triage”, with patients refused GP appointments in person unless they had a telephone consultation first.
Some of the extra money will have come from delivering the Covid vaccine rollout and because GPs were paid for tasks they no longer had to do during the pandemic.
On Thursday night, patients’ groups said the increase was “extremely difficult to justify” and would prove “incredibly irritating and distressing” to people who have struggled to see a GP.
It comes as GPs threaten industrial action over a contract that forces some practices to open on Saturdays. The vote was passed at the British Medical Association (BMA) annual conference earlier this summer, when doctors were urged to “channel our inner Mick Lynch”.
The statistics for England show that average incomes for all GPs, including salaried doctors, rose by 11 per cent in the first year of the pandemic, increasing from £100,700 in 2019-20 to £111,900 in 2020-2021.
The NHS Digital figures are the average earnings per GP in England, regardless of the hours they worked, and include any private work.
Government research revealed that most GPs now work three days or fewer a week following a “substantial” fall in hours since the pandemic. The figures for 2021 showed 58.4 per cent of family doctors working six half-day sessions or less – the equivalent of three days.
Earlier this year, figures revealed that public satisfaction with GP services had fallen to the lowest level on record. Under two-fifths of people were satisfied with the service from family doctors last year, according to the British Social Attitudes survey, the lowest proportion since it began in 1983.
Before the pandemic, around 80 per cent of GP consultations took place in person. During the first lockdown that fell to as low as 47 per cent, since when it has risen to 65 per cent. Timeline of GP face-to-face appointments saga March 2020 As Britain goes into lockdown, NHS England advises GPs to assess patients remotely, in order to cut “avoidable footfall” in practices, and reduce infection risks. April 2020 Face-to-face appointments make up just 47 per cent of all consultations, down from 80 per cent before the pandemic. April 2021 The system of “total triage” – with anyone trying to see a GP first assessed remotely – is “embedded” into NHS annual planning guidance, with doctors told to “significantly increase the use of online consultations.” May 13 2021 The Telegraph front page highlights concerns over the system, with outrage over the case of Joy Stokes, who died from cancer after months of being refused an appointment. At this point, 56 per cent of appointments are being carried out face-to-face. May 13 2021 - 6pm NHS England issues new guidance, abolishing “total triage”. GPs are told every practice must make “a clear offer of appointments in person” and “respect preferences for face-to-face care.” May 17 2021 Matt Hancock, the former Health Secretary, says people who want to see their GP need to be able to do so. May 20 2021 The BMA’s GP committee passes a vote of no confidence in Dr Nikki Kanani, the NHS England medical director for primary care, over the guidance, saying the change of stance was “tone deaf” and not “based on the needs of the profession.” June 2021 56 per cent of GP appointments are carried out face-to-face, the same as before the guidance was issued. August 2021 The BMA agenda for the annual meeting in September includes a motion sa...
What impact did lockdowns and other restrictions have on public health during the Covid-19 pandemic? According to a preprint paper from researchers with the Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise, little to no public health effects.
However, the meta-analysis of 24 studies has not undergone peer review, and the findings are drawing criticisms. The researchers grouped the studies into 3 groups: lockdown stringency index studies, shelter-in-place order (SIPO) studies, and specific nonpharmaceutical intervention (NPI) studies.
Part of the criticism over the study is related to the definitions used. Neil Ferguson, OBE, FMedSci, an epidemiologist and director of the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, Jameel Institute, Imperial College London, noted that “the policies which comprised ‘lockdown’ varied dramatically between countries, meaning defining the term is problematic.”
The studies included in the meta-analysis attempted to establish a relationship between mortality and lockdown policies. The authors noted they were evaluating mandatory NPIs and did not look at the effect of voluntary behavioral changes, recommendations, or governmental services. Among the studies excluded were:
Studies that used cases, hospitalizations, or other measures Interrupted time series studies comparing mortality rates before and after lockdowns Studies analyzing the effect of early lockdowns vs later lockdowns Synthetic control method papers
A total of 34 papers were eligible for review—ultimately, 24 were included in the meta-analysis. Of the 34 total papers, 12 were also working papers and had not undergone peer review. The most recent data in all 34 studies were from April 2021. The Delta variant began widely circulating in the United States and Europe after this time.
There were 7 studies examining lockdown stringency, and the authors that, on average, the lockdowns reduced mortality from Covid-19 by just 0.2%. Just 1 of the 7 studies found a significant and substantial effect. The remaining 6 studies found little to no effect.
There were 13 studies estimating the effect of SIPOs. Of these, 7 looked at multiple NPIs, with SIPO being just one, and 6 studies analyzed SIPO vs no SIPO in the United States. Based on the results of these studies, the authors concluded that SIPOs reduced Covid-19 mortality by 2.9%.
Finally, 11 studies looked at multiple specific NPIs. The definition of specific NPIs varied from study to study—for instance, one study reviewed nonessential business closures and bar/restaurant closures, while another study reviewed business closures but no bar/restaurant closures—making a comparison difficult, the authors noted.
Based on the studies reviewed, the authors concluded “generally there is no evidence of a noticeable relationship between the most-used NPIs and Covid-19.”
Mandating face masks had a large effect of reducing Covid-19 mortality by 21.2%, according to 2 studies. School closures reduced mortality by 4.4%, and lockdowns and limiting gatherings actually seemed to increase mortality modestly (by 0.6% and 1.6%, respectively). Finally, the findings on business closures were mixed with 3 studies finding little to no effect and 3 studies finding large effects.
Another expert from Imperial College London, Samir Bhatt, also cautioned careful interpretation of the findings. Bhatt, a professor of statistics and public health, also pointed to the definition issue. “The authors define lockdown as ‘as the imposition of at least one compulsory, non-pharmaceutical intervention,’” he said. “This would make a mask wearing policy a lockdown. For a meta-analysis using a definition that is at odds with the dictionary definition (a state of isolation or restricted access instituted as a security measure) is strange.”
He added that the method to estimate the impact of NPIs was not accurate.
On Monday, Romanian Member of the European Parliament Cristian Terheș grilled Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel and AstraZeneca executive vice-president Iskra Reic surrounding the safety and efficacy of the vaccines and overly secretive contracts. Several concerns were asked by MEP Terhes of the executives, such as whether or not they had decoded the DNA of the Covid virus, why they did not take responsibility for the side effects from the vaccines, and when they would release the unredacted contracts with the European Commission.
The first set of questions was for both AstraZeneca and Moderna. Below are the questions asked by Terhes:
First question: I would like to know the date, if possible, when you decoded the entire DNA sequence of this virus or did you rely solely on the sequence provided by the Chinese government?
Second question: Have you tested whether the vaccine stops the spread of the virus or not? Because the data clearly shows that your products are not stopping the spread of this virus.
Third question: Have you had people die during the human trials, and if so, what was the disease they died from? The second set of questions was directed to Moderna CEO Bancel, below is the excerpt: You stated here that you relied on the sequence provided to you by the Chinese government when you developed your vaccine. I have here an answer from EMA, which shows for every vaccine the kind of tests that were done. So in the case of Moderna, for example, you provided data showing that you tested these vaccines since 2017, 2018, and 2019. So how are you able to test these vaccines back then when we found out about this virus in December of 2019?
The contract you mentioned here that there are some secrets or some confidential information in these contracts that should protect your interests. Now, the question that I addressed to you is, what about the interests of us and the interests of the European citizens?
Because this is how some of the pages from the contract between Moderna and the European Commission is showing. So I’m asking you, do you think this is fair to all of us to talk about these vaccines, to talk about boosters, to talk about medical products when we don’t know the clauses of these contracts? So the direct question to you, Mr. Bonsel, is when are you going to fully publish the contracts that you have both with the European Commission and with the member states of the European Union?
Another question, the issue of liabilities. You were asked by our colleagues here about the liabilities and you avoided to answer this question. So my question is why are you pushing the liabilities on the state and on the people who receive these vaccines? I think I might have adverse effect, why do you get all the profits?
Nevertheless, the bivalent boosters. This is the last question. You just stated here that these boosters were requested by the US government who also approved the boosters without trials on humans. So I’m asking you, do you think this is fair? Do you think we can go and ask the European citizens to be vaccinated with some medical products that were not properly tested or not at all tested in humans?
In their responses regarding liability, executives of Moderna and AstraZeneca said that they produced the vaccines at the request of the states and governments, who asked them to make the vaccines quickly, therefore they sought protection from them for payment of possible damages and compensations, according to MEP’s Facebook post.
“On liability for adverse effects, as all manufacturers have done, we wanted, governments wanted quick approval of a vaccine. And so for a conditional approval, it was important to give us some guarantees in terms of [compensation/damages], because we cannot have our cake and eat it too. They wanted the vaccine quickly. They didn’t give the manufacturers time to have long-term studies because of the nature of a pandemic,
MANILA, Philippines—With the efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines “waning,” the Department of Health (DOH) said even individuals already vaccinated against the virus are now having severe infections.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US CDC) had stressed that the use of Covid vaccines gives 90 percent protection against symptomatic infection, severe illness and death.
However, while vaccines give a layer of protection against complications, its effectiveness wanes, which Octa Research’s Dr. Guido David said was one of the reasons for the Covid-19 wave last month. Acting Health Secretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said 70 to 80 percent of severe Covid-19 cases before were those of the unvaccinated, but now, even the vaccinated are having severe infections. She said on Thursday (Sept. 1) that severe Covid-19 cases in hospitals now comprise 50 percent vaccinated and 50 percent unvaccinated. Currently, the Philippines has 22,259 active cases.
Vergeire stressed that while there should be strong evidence first, the present trend “gives us a warning that the immunity is waning since there are people already vaccinated but are still admitted in our hospitals because of severe infections.” Vaccine effectiveness Based on a study published in The Lancet, vaccine efficacy wanes five months after the second dose, revealing that at five months, the effectiveness of Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, and Moderna vaccines were reduced to 82.1 percent, 75.7 percent, and 84.3 percent.
The study, “Covid-19 Vaccine Waning and Effectiveness and Side-Effects of Boosters,” stated that vaccine efficacy decreased more in people who are 55 years or older and in people with comorbidity.
“After five months, vaccine effectiveness remained high among individuals younger than 55 years. Booster doses restore vaccine effectiveness. Adverse reactions after booster doses were similar to those after the second dose,” it said.

“The effectiveness against infection of Covid-19 vaccines waned considerably five to eight months after primary vaccination, although it remained high, particularly among people younger than 55 years.”
Last July, the DOH warned that Covid-19 cases could be as high as 19,306 by the end of August if vaccination and booster rates, as well as compliance with minimum public health standards, do not improve.
This, as the DOH had told CNN Philippines that since the “wall of immunity [against Covid-19] is really going down,” hospitalizations could possibly rise by August and September.
It said, however, that if vaccination and booster rates, as well as compliance with minimum public health standards, improve, case increase may be slower and more controlled at about 6,194 to 8,346 cases. Vaccination problems Last Wednesday (Aug. 31), the DOH conceded that it could no longer meet its vaccination target within the first 100 days of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as president.
This, as the booster campaign reached only nine percent of its target population for first boosters, with Vergeire saying that the “PinasLakas” campaign is “still very far” from its goal.
The campaign, which was launched last July, aimed to vaccinate 90 percent of the elderly population and administer first booster shots to 50 percent of the eligible population by Oct. 8.
Vergeire said that to achieve the 50 percent booster coverage, the department needs to vaccinate 23,840,032 individuals or 397,334 individuals every day for 60 days: “The DOH will make vaccines more accessible and available.”
But based on data from the DOH, only 24,661 senior citizens have been administered with the primary series while only 2.1 million individuals have received their first booster shots since the campaign was launched.
As of Sept. 2, out of the 72,574, 454 individuals eligible for booster shots, only 18,086,979 have availed themselves of the additional layer of protection against the severe complications of Covid-19.
A peer-reviewed study in Italy found that 94% of people who experienced side effects after receiving mRNA vaccines had abnormal blood and contained foreign matter one month after vaccination, Epoch Times reported. This new study was published in August 2022 in the open access peer-reviewed journal, International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research (IJVTPR).
Starting in March 2021, three Italian surgeons analyzed peripheral blood, using a single drop from each of 1,006 symptomatic participants who had had at least one mRNA injection (from Pfizer or Moderna.) According to the study, “there were 948 subjects (94% of the total sample) whose blood showed aggregation of erythrocytes and the presence of particles of various shapes and sizes of unclear origin one month after the mRNA inoculation.” Erythrocytes also known as red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.
“In 12 subjects, blood was examined with the same method before vaccination, showing a perfectly normal hematological distribution. The alterations found after the inoculation of the mRNA injections further reinforce the suspicion that the modifications were due to the so-called “vaccines” themselves. We report 4 clinical cases, chosen as representative of the entire case series. Further studies are needed to define the exact nature of the particles found in the blood and to identify possible solutions to the problems they are evidently causing,” it added.
“Of the 1,006 subjects, 426 were males and 580 were females and 141 of them received only a single dose of the mRNA experimental injection, 453 got a second dose, and 412 received a third dose. The average age of the 1,006 subjects was 49 years and their age ranged from 15-85. On the average, 5.77% of the 1,006 individuals had normal blood samples in spite of their Covid-19 symptoms,” according to the study.
“The remaining 94.23% had abnormal blood samples as illustrated in the 4 cases we selected out of the 12 who were normal before receiving any mRNA injections but were no longer normal afterward. For each case, a drop of blood was drawn by pricking a finger and was analyzed under a ZEISS Primostar orLEITZ Laborlux 12 dark-field microscope. The observation of the blood under an optical microscope in a dark-field took place an average of thirty days after the last inoculation,” the study added.
The three surgeons behind the study - Franco Giovannini, Riccardo Benzi Cipelli, and Gianpaolo Pisano - claim that their findings are similar to those of a study by Young Mi Lee, Sunyoung Park, and Ki-Yeob Jeon from South Korea, titled “Foreign Materials in Blood Samples of Recipients of Covid-19 Vaccines,” but the Italian study has “much larger sample.”
“Our findings, however, are bolstered by their parallel analysis of the fluids in vials of the mRNA concoctions alongside centrifuged plasma samples from the cases they studied intensively. What seems plain enough is that metallic particles resembling graphene oxide and possibly other metallic compounds, like those discovered by Gatti and Montanari, have been included in the cocktail of whatever the manufacturers have seen fit to put in the so-called mRNA “vaccines.”
The surgeons believed that the vaccine makers should provide an explanation as to what is within the shots and why those components are present. “In our experience as clinicians, these mRNA injections are very unlike traditional “vaccines” and their manufacturers need, in our opinions, to come clean about what is in the injections and why it is there,” they said. Below are the results of the study:

There have been 16,631 excess non-Covid deaths registered in England and Wales in the 18 weeks since April 23rd, according to the latest official data from the Office for National Statistics, released on Tuesday. This is 9.8% more than expected, based on an average of the previous five years. Overall excess deaths, including Covid deaths, have been 13.4% higher than expected during the period.
In the week ending August 26th, the most recent week for which data are available, 10,942 deaths were registered in England and Wales, which is 1,556 (16.6%) above the five-year average for the week. Of these, 453 mentioned Covid-19 on the death certificate as a contributory cause and 282 mentioned Covid-19 as underlying cause, leaving 1,274 deaths from a different underlying cause.
At the Daily Sceptic we have been following what appears to be a correlation between the spring fourth dose booster rollout among over-75s in England and a wave of now over 16,600 non-Covid excess deaths that are currently unexplained.
Vaccine researcher Dr. Theo Schetters has highlighted a similar correlation in the Netherlands and raised concerns that the vaccines may be contributing to the deaths.
As noted last week, the correlation in England and Wales, which was strong during the spring and early summer, has not continued, as deaths have remained high while booster doses have tailed off, as depicted below in the chart showing deaths by date of occurrence.
Deaths spiked once again during August, for reasons that are unclear. The continued high excess deaths may be an indication of ongoing vaccine injury, perhaps in conjunction with the effects of previous Covid infection, or the operation of another cause.
Freddie Sayers in UnHerd this week has interviewed actuary Stuart McDonald, Head of Demographic Assumptions and Methodology at Lloyds Banking Group, to get his insights into what’s going on. McDonald says it is an “undeniable fact” that more people are dying than we would expect. This means he agrees it isn’t just due to an ageing population. It’s also worth noting that the displaced mortality from the 150,000 excess deaths of the last two and a half years means we should be seeing fewer deaths right now, not more.
McDonald agrees that the cause in the majority of cases is “cardiovascular, circulatory, cerebrovascular”. He also acknowledges that cancer deaths are not running above average, though stresses he believes that these are coming down the line.
One of McDonald’s suggestions is that some additional deaths are being cause by the current ambulance delays, particularly when combined with the pent-up health problems of people unable to access medical care or avoiding doing so during the pandemic. He points to the fact that the target ambulance response time is 18 minutes whereas in July the average wait time was 59 minutes – a delay which, where strokes and heart attacks are concerned, may be a matter of life and death.
The problem with this explanation though is that it doesn’t engage with why there are long delays in the first place. There are long delays because there is high demand, as can be seen in the following two charts, where a sustained rise of around 20% in 999 calls from July 2021 (coinciding with when the wave of excess non-Covid deaths began) matches the rise in waiting times.
It seems reasonable to assume, therefore, that whatever is driving the increased 999 calls is also driving the increased excess deaths during the same period, and that the increased waiting times, while they are likely exacerbating the situation, cannot be the underlying cause of the very thing – increased demand – that is causing them.
It’s also worth bearing in mind that the survival rate for cardiac arrest at the best of times is under 10%, so, in that case at least, the impact of increased waits for ambulances on overall death figures will be marginal.
McDonald’s main suggestion is that it is Covid-19 itsel...
Billionaire Bill Gates has been issued with a notice from the Bombay High Court over a case that alleges the Microsoft co-founder is responsible for deaths related to Covid-19 vaccines. A petition was filed in the court by a father who said the vaccine killed his daughter, the Hindustan Times reported.
In relation to the case, the High Court also sent a notice to the Indian government (Maharashtra and Union government) and the biopharmaceuticals company Serum Institute of India (SII).
The petitioner, Dilip Lunawat, is seeking Rs 1,000 crore ($125,451,200) compensation after his daughter, Dr. Snehal Lunawat, died after receiving the Covishield vaccine.
Mr. Lunawat blames the government, Bill Gates, and others responsible for spreading misleading information about the vaccine’s safety.
Gates is accused of contributing to the government’s mandates that forced medical professionals to get vaccinated.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also helped the Indian pharmaceutical company rush the vaccine into production.
Lunwat says his daughter was compelled to take the anti-Covid vaccine at her college in Nashik on January 28 last year.
He says she came under the category of health worker because she was a medical student.
Snehal was a doctor and a senior lecturer at SMBT dental college and hospital at Dhamangaon in Maharashtra.
She was vaccinated with Covishield, which is developed by the SII.
Days later, she suffered severe headaches and vomiting and was rushed to a hospital. Doctors found she was bleeding in her brain, the petition said. Lunwat says his daughter died as a result of side effects from the vaccine on March 1.
The petition relied on a report submitted by the Centre’s Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) committee on October 2.
The petitioner has also sought a response from Gates, whose organization – the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – had partnered with the SII to accelerate the process of manufacturing to deliver 100 million doses of the vaccine.
He also sought a response from the Union government, Maharashtra government, and the Drug Controller General of India.
Lunwat says he is seeking justice for his daughter and “many more people who are likely to be murdered” due to similar cases of adverse effects, according to the petition.
On August 26, a division bench of Justices S V Gangapurwala and Madhav Jamdar issued a notice to all the respondents in the petition.
The case has been scheduled for a hearing on November 17. Continue reading on slaynews.com
A United Nations report published Thursday argues that an unprecedented array of crises, chiefly among them Covid, has set human progress back five years and fueled a global wave of uncertainty. The UN Development Program (UNDP) announced that for the first time since it was created over 30 years ago, the Human Development Index - a measure of countries' life expectancies, education levels, and standards of living - has declined for two years straight, in 2020 and 2021. "It means we die earlier, we are less well educated, our incomes are going down," UNDP chief Achim Steiner told AFP in an interview.
"Just under three parameters, you can get a sense of why so many people are beginning to feel desperate, frustrated, worried about the future," he said. The Human Development Index has steadily risen for decades, but began sliding in 2020 and continued its fall in 2021, erasing the gains of the preceding five years, the paper says.
Titled "Uncertain times, unsettled lives," the report points to the Covid pandemic as a major driver of the global reversion, but also says that a compounding number of crises - political, financial and climate-related - have not allowed time for populations to recover. "We've had disasters before. We've had conflicts before. But the confluence of what we're facing right now is a major setback to human development," said Steiner. The setback is truly global, impacting more than 90 percent of countries around the world, according to the study.
Switzerland, Norway and Iceland all retain their spots at the top of the list, while South Sudan, Chad and Niger sit at the bottom.
And while some countries had begun to recover from the pandemic, many others in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and the Caribbean had not yet turned the corner before a new crisis hit: the war in Ukraine. Continue reading on www.i24news.tv
Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking and tragic tales of the past two and a half years is the story of Ernest Ramirez Jr. He was a 16-year-old boy, son of Ernest Ramirez Sr. (left), and “the best son a father could ask for.”
But unfortunately, he died of heart complications five days after his first Pfizer shot in April 2021.
“The autopsy came back with heart enlargement. The teenager’s heart was twice the size expected for his age. He died within five days of the shot, which is when many cases of myocarditis and pericarditis are showing up post-vaccination in teens, especially boys.” — Circleofmamas.com
“[While playing basketball], he collapsed and died right in front of me, his best friend. The paramedics worked on my son, but they couldn’t do anything about it.
That day, my world ended. Junior’s autopsy showed that he had myocarditis. Junior was a healthy boy, who loved playing baseball, video games with his friends — enjoyed the outdoors. He loved fishing. He was the best son a father could ask for. He was my best friend.”
As a single father without a wealth of capital, Ernest Ramirez Sr. faced daunting charges for Junior’s funeral.
Seven months later, Ernest Sr. received an offer from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to help him out with costs, but there was one major issue.
They asked Ernest to change the cause of death of his son to Covid so that they could help him out financially. Ernest told them, “I would never do that. I would definitely never disrespect my son in that way.”
That didn’t stop FEMA from trying again. Not only did they make this offer once, but they made it TWICE. Dr. Henry Ealy provides more details.
“You have a grieving father who’s just lost his son — they wouldn’t let him get on the ambulance to go in with his son to the hospital. They come out and tell him his son is dead. He goes home, and he has to scrape together whatever money he can to produce a funeral. He does that.
And then in February … FEMA contacts him and says, ‘Listen, if you’ll change the death certificate — if you’ll change it to say that he died because of Covid, we’ll give you some money.’ And he said, ‘No, I won’t do that. I’m not gonna lie on a government document for blood money.’ He has the emails. He’s gonna send them over to me, and then some attorneys already have them. They contacted him a SECOND time. This is a grieving father who’s lost everything he loves. This was his pride and joy, his life!
And while he’s grieving, they tried it a second time and said, ‘Listen. have you changed your mind? We’ll give you some money if you just change the death certificate to say Covid.’ That’s beyond fraud at that time — that’s beyond criminal data fraud. That’s now into coercion. When we’re talking about things like this — even one account of that is horrific. It has to be investigated. But the question has to become: how many other times has that occurred?” I have left my day job in the healthcare industry to pursue my passion of becoming an independent reporter. If you want to help keep this operation afloat, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Great question and it has to be investigated. We cannot have any tolerance for allowing the bribing of grieving parents to drive up the death count, especially when it’s coming from our government. That’s beyond unethical.
If you want justice — if you want accountability for these criminals, please sign the petition below. Dr. Henry Ealy and his team are hoping to raise 1 million signatures to bring forth to a judge to demand a Grand Jury investigation against the CDC.
And if that goes through, it opens the door for Fauci & Friends. Please sign the petition below and share it with all receptive family members and friends. Continue reading on thevigilantfox.substack.com
China's CanSino Biologics said on Sunday that its inhalable Covid-19 vaccine has been given emergency use authorization by the country's top drug regulator. The dose is an aerosolized version of a single-shot, adenovirus-based viral vector vaccine already in use domestically and worldwide. It will be used as a booster only, according to the notice.
It is the first aerosolized vaccine to be approved for public use in China. All nine vaccines that have obtained either conditional market approval or emergency use approval from the National Medical Products Administration so far, are delivered intravenously.
An aerosolized Covid-19 vaccine has emerged as a promising field of research due to its easy accessibility and unique way of stimulating protection, according to experts.
Sunney Xie Xiaoliang, a biophysical chemist at Peking University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said during a forum in Beijing over the weekend that aerosolized vaccines could be an effective way to protect against respiratory diseases, including Covid-19, in the future.
The nasal cavity is the body's first barrier to the novel coronavirus. Delivering vaccines via this route can stimulate immune responses on mucosal surfaces where viruses enter, according to Xie.
"Using it as a booster shot can also trigger higher levels of humoral immunity as well as cellular immunity, which are potentially capable of clearing the virus within a shorter period," he said.
The most recent published study on aerosolized vaccines shows that when given as a booster, the vaccine candidate stimulated a stronger antibody response in fully vaccinated adults than an inactivated jab.
The study was conducted in China and published in early August on medRixv, a preprint platform.
"Orally administered aerosolized vaccines might become a valuable addition to the existing SARS-CoV-2 vaccine pools," it said. Continue reading on www.chinadaily.com.cn
A ground-breaking app which can detect coronavirus in your voice has been developed in a major scientific breakthrough. The AI-powered technology is easier to use and more accurate than a lateral flow test, scientists say.
The mobile app takes less than a minute to flag positive cases and gives an accurate result 89 per cent of the time and negative cases 83 per cent of the time.
The accuracy of lateral flow tests varies widely and could miss between 20 per cent and 81 per cent of positive cases in different settings, according to Imperial College London.
The new app could be used to very quickly screen people for the bug before they attend mass events such as concerts and big sports matches.
It could also be deployed in poorer countries where gold-standard PCR tests are very expensive and often difficult to distribute.
The Dutch researchers say coronavirus usually affects the upper respiratory tract and vocal chords, leading to changes in a person's voice.
The team decided to investigate whether it was possible to detect the novel virus in people's voices.
Experts used data from the University of Cambridge's crowdsourcing Covid-19 Sounds App which contained 893 audio samples from 4,352 participants.
And of the sample study 308 of the respondents tested positive for coronavirus.
The app is installed on the user's mobile phone and the participants report some basic details about demographics, medical history and smoking status.
They are then asked to record some respiratory sounds which include coughing three times, breathing deeply through their mouth three to five times and reading a short sentence on the screen three times.
The researchers used a voice analysis technique called Mel-spectrogram analysis, which identifies different voice features such as loudness, power and variation over time.
To distinguish the voices of Covid-19 patients from those who did not have the disease, the team built different artificial intelligence models and evaluated which one worked best at classifying positive cases.
One model called Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) outperformed the others.
It is based on neural networks, which mimic the way the human brain operates and recognize the underlying relationships in data.
It works with sequences, which makes it suitable for modelling signals collected over time, such as from the voice, because of its ability to store data in its memory.
Researcher Wafaa Aljbawi, from the University of Maastricht, said: 'These promising results suggest that simple voice recordings and fine-tuned AI algorithms can potentially achieve high precision in determining which patients have Covid-19 infection. "Such tests can be provided at no cost and are simple to interpret.
"Moreover, they enable remote, virtual testing and have a turnaround time of less than a minute.
"They could be used, for example, at the entry points for large gatherings, enabling rapid screening of the population.
"These results show a significant improvement in the accuracy of diagnosing Covid-19 compared to state-of-the-art tests such as the lateral flow test.
"The lateral flow test has a sensitivity of only 56 per cent, but a higher specificity rate of 99.5 per cent.
"This is important as it signifies that the lateral flow test is misclassifying infected people as Covid-19 negative more often than our test.
"In other words, with the AI LSTM model, we could miss 11 out 100 cases who would go on to spread the infection, while the lateral flow test would miss 44 out of 100 cases.
"The high specificity of the lateral flow test means that only one in 100 people would be wrongly told they were Covid-19 positive when, in fact, they were not infected, while the LSTM test would wrongly diagnose 17 in 100 non-infected people as positive.
"However, since this test is virtually free, it is possible to invite people for PCR tests if the LSTM tests show they are positive."
In a leaked recording of a Zoom discussion with Israeli Ministry of Health (IMOH) officials, revealed by GB News on Saturday, a researcher hired by the ministry to conduct a study on the side effects of the vaccine can be heard explaining to ministry officials that the findings establish a causal relationship and warning them that they could be exposed to lawsuits.
