2022-02-10 4 Ways Pandemic-Related School Closings Harmed Children’s Well-Being A global analysis found pandemic-related school closures harmed kids in ways that could affect them for their entire lives

1. Academic progress At the end of the 2020-2021 school year, most students were about four to five months behind where they should have been in math and reading, according to a July 2021 report by McKinsey and Co., a global management consulting firm.

2. Social-emotional development Even early in the pandemic, school closings were harming students’ social and emotional well-being, according to a review of 36 studies across 11 countries including the U.S. By summer 2021, teachers and administrators in the U.S. said students felt more emotional distress, disengagement, depression, anxiety and loneliness than in previous years.

3. Behavioral habits The return to in-person learning has been accompanied by school leaders’ reports of increasing student misbehavior and threats of violence. These increases were more likely to be reported in larger districts and where most students had engaged in remote or hybrid learning — rather than in-person instruction — during the prior school year.

4. Physical health Adults have suffered hair loss, sore eyes, irritable bowels and skin flare-ups as a result of the pandemic. One study found that Chinese preschool children whose schools closed during the pandemic were shorter than preschoolers in previous years, though the researchers did not observe noteworthy differences in weight change. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pandemic-school-closings-harmed-children/

2022-02-10 Disagree With Government Policy? Homeland Security Says You’re a ‘Terrorist’ if You Speak Out On the latest episode of The Hill’s “Rising,” political commentator Kim Iversen broke down concerning new language in a U..S. Department of Homeland Security bulletin about domestic terrorism that could have potential ramifications for anyone questioning government institutions.

“The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors.”

Throughout the pandemic, many people accused of spreading disinformation or conspiracy theories turned out to be right all along. “It was originally a conspiracy theory that there would be vaccine mandates. It was misinformation to say the vaccine doesn’t prevent spread,” Iversen said. According to the DHS bulletin, people who spread MDM, “are possibly threat actors seeking to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence.” “So they’re saying that if you spread information that undermines public trust in a government institution like the Centers for Disease Control, or Federal Drug Administration, or the Pentagon or Congress it could lead to violence,” Iversen said.

To prevent these “theoretical” acts of violence that stem from engaging in speech that undermines public trust in government institutions “you could be labeled a terrorist threat,” she argued. “By issuing this bulletin they’ve effectively given themselves the freedom to halt any dissent they don’t like under the guise of ‘it could lead to violence,’” Iversen said. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/homeland-security-terrorist-disagree-government-policy/

2022-02-10 Epidemiologists: ‘Kids Deserve Medical Care Driven by Facts, Not Politics’ In an op-ed published this week, two physician epidemiologists said a proposed law in California to mandate COVID vaccines for all schoolchildren is not supported by scientific evidence, and will cause more harm than good.

In an op-ed published Tuesday on SFGate, Tracy Beth Høeg, M.D., Ph.D and Vinay Prasad, M.D., M.P.H., wrote: “As physician epidemiologists, we have analyzed the data and found that this mandate is not supported by the scientific evidence — which is why no European countries or other U.S. states have implemented their own.” The bill in question, SB-871, was proposed last month by Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento). If passed, it would take effect Jan. 1, 2023. The law would apply to “any private or public elementary or secondary school, child care center, day nursery, nursery school, family day care home, or development center.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/kids-medical-care-facts-politics/

2022-02-10 RFK, Jr., CHD Call on FDA to Deny Emergency Use Authorization of Pfizer Vaccine for Infants and Children Under 5 Children’s Health Defense said it is poised to take legal action against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory panel if the committee recommends Pfizer’s Emergency Use Authorization vaccine for children under 5.

“We are writing to put you on notice that should you recommend this pediatric EUA vaccine to children under five years old, CHD is poised to take legal action against you.  “CHD will seek to hold you accountable for recklessly endangering this population with a product that has little, no, or even negative net efficacy but which may put them, without warning, at risk of many adverse health consequences, including heart damage, stroke and other thrombotic events and reproductive harms.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-chd-fda-deny-eua-pfizer-vaccine-infants-children

2022-02-10 Australians Will Require Three COVID Vaccine Doses to Be Considered Fully Vaccinated Australians will now need three COVID vaccine doses to be considered “up to date” with their shots, but it will be left to individual states to set their own rules on booster mandates. On Thursday, the federal health minister, Greg Hunt, announced the government’s immunization advisory body had updated its guidance. The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization’s new guidance states a third dose is required for someone to be considered “up to date” with their vaccinations. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/feb/10/australians-will-require-three-covid-vaccine-doses-to-be-considered-fully-vaccinated

2022-02-10 Canada’s Trucker Convoy Challenges the Elites Over the last two years, Canada has descended into the kind of mass-surveillance state you read about in dystopian novels. In December, the country’s public health agency admitted it has tracked data from 33 million devices monitoring people’s movement and activity during the lockdowns — and plans to continue doing so for the next five years. In a country of only 38 million people, that’s an extraordinary number. Other disturbing anecdotes of government overreach have emerged, from Canadian citizens being detained for weeks when entering the country with no ability to contact anyone, to Alberta police issuing tickets at unpermitted Christmas gatherings. Now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his state-sponsored media would have you believe that a fringe group of miscreants have hijacked the Canadian trucking industry. But none of this is true. In reality, the tens of thousands of truckers who traveled in a 45-mile-long “Freedom Convoy” to Ottawa have been overwhelmingly peaceful, well-organized and politically moderate when interviewed. https://www.newsweek.com/canadas-trucker-convoy-challenges-elites-opinion-1677323

2022-02-10 Last Responders: Mental Health Damage From COVID Could Last a Generation, Professionals Say Aside from the obvious physical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, health professionals have told CNBC that many people are struggling with the immense emotional and societal changes it has brought. What’s more, they’re finding it hard to adapt to a “new normal” now that lockdowns are starting to ease. Many psychologists and psychiatrists have reported an influx of people seeking mental health support during the pandemic, with the unprecedented global health crisis causing an increase in anxiety and depression as well as exacerbating existing mental health conditions. Numerous studies on the impact of COVID on mental health have been carried out. One study, published in The Lancet medical journal in October, looked at the global prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in 204 countries and territories in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/10/covid-pandemic-mental-health-damage-could-last-a-generation.html

2022-02-10 More College Students Are Dropping out During COVID. It Could Get Worse. After Omicron forced classes back online late in the semester, Izzy, 18, who was living with her parents, felt overwhelmed by loneliness; she struggled to focus on her schoolwork and enjoy life. As she seriously considered suicide, Izzy sought help and moved into her grandparents’ home in Wyoming to be closer to her extended family. And she stopped attending school. Thousands of other students around the country are leaving college — some because of mental health issues, others for financial or family reasons. Educators worry that many have left for good. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/10/college-students-dropout-covid-pandemic

2022-02-10 Frustrated Democrats Amp up Pressure on Biden Over Global Vaccinations Congressional Democrats are increasing pressure on the Biden administration to step up its efforts to vaccinate the world, arguing more needs to be done to prevent a new COVID-19 variant from emerging to threaten the United States after Omicron.A group of more than 80 Democratic lawmakers is pushing for $17 billion to support global vaccinations in a coming government funding package, but there is no certainty yet on what will be provided. The Biden administration has touted its pledge of 1.2 billion doses for other countries, of which 400 million have been delivered so far, more than any other country in the world has provided. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/593591-frustrated-democrats-amp-up-pressure-on-biden-over-global-vaccinations

2022-02-10 Paris and Brussels to Ban ‘Freedom Convoy’ Inspired by Canadian Protest Authorities in Paris and Brussels said Thursday they will block convoys from entering both cities, potentially thwarting European plans for the type of demonstration that has paralyzed Ottawa, closed border crossings into the United States and inspired copycats. Paris police said in a statement that convoys now en route to the French capital from across the country will not be able to enter the city for planned rallies this weekend “because of a risk to public order.” Penalties for blocking public roads include prison time, fines and driving bans, the statement noted. Not long afterward, the mayor of Brussels, where several groups planned to converge on Feb. 14, announced that a procession modeled on Canada’s so-called “Freedom Convoy” would not be allowed in. Vehicles arriving to protest will be “diverted,” the mayor said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/10/europe-ban-freedom-convoy/

2022-02-10 New Zealand Police Move in to Break up Anti-COVID Vaccine Mandate Protests New Zealand police on Thursday arrested 120 people as they attempted to forcefully remove hundreds of protesters camped outside parliament to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates and tough coronavirus restrictions. Inspired by truckers‘ demonstrations in Canada, several thousand protesters this week blocked streets near the parliament in capital Wellington with trucks, cars and motorcycles. It has been three days since the protesters blocked roads and set up camp at the parliament grounds. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/new-zealand-police-make-arrests-covid-vaccine-mandate-protests-enter-3rd-day-2022-02-10/

2022-02-10 Facebook and Spotify Face Complementary Nightmares The two developing tech dramas of early 2022 — the struggle of Meta Platform Inc.’s Facebook to retain users as surveillance-based advertising becomes more difficult and Spotify Technology SA’s Joe Rogan controversy — are really about one thing: Finding the right balance between ad-based and subscription-based monetization models on the internet. My Bloomberg Opinion colleague Parmy Olson pointed out recently that Alphabet Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. (Google and Facebook) are finding it hard to remain primarily ad-funded, and that diversification makes other tech giants, such as Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc., less vulnerable. Yet, unlike Amazon and Microsoft, both Google and Facebook, with 81% and 97% of revenue, respectively, coming from advertising, are at their core content companies, or, narrower still, media companies. They don’t produce the content, but provide platforms for it and ways of locating it. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-02-10/facebook-and-spotify-face-complementary-nightmares

2022-02-10 AstraZeneca Sees $4 Billion in COVID Vaccine Sales as Revenue Soars AstraZeneca recorded a big jump in revenue on Thursday as it begins to take a profit from its coronavirus vaccine for the first time. The company recorded full-year revenues of $37.4 billion, an increase of 38% from the year before at constant exchange rates. Part of the boost came from $4 billion in sales of its COVID-19 vaccine, developed with the University of Oxford. The Anglo-Swedish drugmaker said in November it would begin to take a “modest” profit from the COVID-19 shot, which it had been providing “at cost” — around $2 to $3 — following an agreement with Oxford. Other COVID-19 vaccine producers, such as Pfizer and Moderna, have been booking hefty profits on their shots all along. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-europe-oxford-d5b4503c4a21afe1a68d6a7a1bc8a460

2022-02-10 Citing Religious Beliefs, Lawsuit Challenges NYC Vaccine Mandate Five Orthodox Jewish New Yorkers have joined a suit challenging the city’s vaccine requirements for indoor spaces. Two of the plaintiffs are rabbis at yeshivas. The suit, filed Feb. 7 in New York, challenges the “Key to NYC” program and a recent COVID vaccination mandate for religious and private school employees. The mandate was opposed by many haredi Orthodox yeshivas and groups representing them, including Agudath Israel of America. Three of the Jewish plaintiffs are parents suing on behalf of a total of 12 of their children, all minors, whose COVID vaccination they oppose on what they claim are religious grounds. The unnamed plaintiffs allege an “unprecedented abuse of power” in regard to COVID vaccine requirements for indoor spaces in the city. The plaintiffs, who also include a Catholic resident of New York, object to the vaccine on religious and constitutional grounds. https://www.timesofisrael.com/lawsuit-challenges-new-yorks-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-citing-religious-beliefs/

2022-02-10 Appeals Court Upholds Freeze on Vaccine Mandate for Federal Workers A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday refused to reinstate a vaccine mandate for federal employees, declining to overturn a ruling by a federal district court that had frozen the policy and setting the stage for a Supreme Court battle. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/appeals-court-freeze-vaccine-mandate-federal-workers/

2022-02-09 ‘Natural Immunity’ Holds up Against Severe Omicron Cases in Qatar Study — ‘Robust’ Protection From Previous Infection Against Hospitalization, Death by Reinfection Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection was estimated to be less effective at preventing reinfection with the Omicron variant compared to prior variants, though it did appear to hold up against severe disease, researchers in Qatar found. The effectiveness of previous infection in preventing reinfection was estimated at 56.0% (95% CI 50.6-60.9) against the Omicron variant, as compared to 90.2% (95% CI 60.2-97.6) against the Alpha variant, 85.7% (95% CI 75.8-91.7) against the Beta variant, and 92.0% (95% CI 87.9-94.7) against the Delta variant, reported Laith Abu-Raddad, PhD, of Weill Cornell Medicine Qatar in Doha, and colleagues. However, no reinfections resulted in death, and effectiveness of natural infection against “severe, critical or fatal” COVID from the Omicron variant was 87.8% (95% CI 47.5-97.1), they wrote in a correspondence in the New England Journal of Medicine. https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/97108

2022-02-09 Appeals Court Refuses to Reinstate Federal Employee Vaccine Mandate While It Reviews Case A federal appeals court said Wednesday it would not reinstate President Joe Biden‘s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal employees while it reviews a lower court’s order putting the requirement on hold — potentially setting the stage for the case to go to the Supreme Court. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals did not explain its reasoning in the unsigned order that said the court was expediting its review of the case. The court said the Biden administration’s request to put the lower court’s ruling on hold was being “carried with the case,” signaling that the appeals court would not rule on the request until it had conducted a fuller review of the case. Last month, a federal judge in Texas blocked the administration from enforcing the requirement, calling the mandate an overstep of presidential authority and citing a Supreme Court decision to strike down a separate administration mandate that had applied to private-sector workers. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/09/politics/appeals-court-federal-employee-vaccine-mandate/index.html

2022-02-09 U.S. Navy Discharges 240 Service Members for Refusing COVID Vaccine The U.S. Navy said Wednesday that it has discharged 240 service members for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine as required by the Pentagon’s vaccine mandate. All of those service members received honorable characterizations for their discharges from service, meaning they are still eligible to receive veteran benefits. As of Wednesday, the Navy has granted 10 permanent medical exemptions, 250 temporary medical exemptions and 50 administrative exemptions to the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for active-duty service members, according to the release. The Navy said it has received 3,348 requests for religious exemptions from active-duty service members and nearly 800 such requests from Navy Reserve members. So far, no requests for religious exemptions have been granted. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/09/politics/navy-discharge-military-members-vaccine-mandate/index.html

2022-02-09 White House Faces New Pressure to Back Lifting Mask Rules The White House is facing pressure to revise its position on wearing masks, as declining COVID-19 cases and pandemic fatigue among voters leads an increasing number of Democratic states to lift requirements on public masking. Some governors and local health officials are calling for the White House and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to release guidance for an off-ramp for mask usage. Mask requirements are one of the only remaining COVID-19 restrictions in place in many areas of the country. But agency director Rochelle Walensky is insistent that it’s not yet time to lift mask requirements anywhere. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/593586-white-house-faces-new-pressure-to-back-lifting-mask-rules

2022-02-09 Oscars 2022 Ceremony Won’t Require COVID Vaccinations This year’s  Oscars ceremony will not require in-person attendees to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19, Variety has confirmed. After a 2021 ceremony that saw the Academy Awards downsize to a smaller gathering at Los Angeles’ Union Station, the Oscars will return to its traditional setting in the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard for its upcoming ceremony on Mar. 27. It is not yet known if the audience size might be reduced this year. Although the Academy will suggest attendees to be vaccinated, the 2022 Oscars ceremony will also require attendees to be tested prior to attending, with unvaccinated guests having additional and more stringent testing requirements. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/oscars-2022-covid-19-vaccinations-1235176624/

2022-02-09 Lander Held on to Vaccine Maker Stock Months Into Tenure Serving as Biden’s top science adviser, Eric Lander, the head of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, publicly promoted COVID-19 vaccination efforts while having a significant financial investment in one of the vaccine makers, according to financial disclosures. Under the White House’s ethics agreement Lander signed, he had 90 days to divest his stocks after he was confirmed by the Senate on May 28. While Lander shed the bulk of that stock in June — including shares of BioNTech SE, the German biotechnology company and Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine partner — he waited until Aug. 5 to sell the remaining $500,000 to $1 million worth of stock he held in that company. Lander, the richest man in Biden’s cabinet with over $45 million in assets when he was nominated, did not disclose his stock holdings in a Boston Globe article or in The Washington Post op-ed. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/09/lander-vaccine-stock-ethics-00007100

2022-02-09 New York City Might Have Rat COVID, but It’s Probably Fine Over the past year, scientists keep seeing a COVID-19 oddity showing up in New York City’s sewer system: bits and pieces of virus in the wastewater that suggest there’s a mysterious new variant in the city. Thankfully, there’s no evidence that it’s particularly infectious or deadly. But scientists aren’t sure where the “cryptic lineages,” as researchers call the fragments, are coming from. One theory is that the virus is coming from people whose strains have yet to be sequenced. But another is totally and utterly alarming: that this variant could be courtesy of the city’s rats. https://www.curbed.com/2022/02/new-york-city-rat-covid-research.html

2022-02-09 Early ‘Lab-Grown’ COVID Virus Found in Sample Lends Weight to Wuhan Theory An early version of COVID-19 that appears to have been grown in a laboratory has been discovered in samples from a Chinese biotechnology firm. The finding lends weight to claims that the virus may have started life as a lab experiment that accidentally leaked out. Bioinformatics experts from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Lorand University in Budapest, Hungary, made the discovery by accident while examining genetic data from soil samples collected from Antarctica in late 2018 and early 2019. The samples were sent to Sangon Biotech in Shanghai for sequencing in Dec 2019, where they became contaminated with a previously unknown variant of COVID-19. Viscount Ridley, author of Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19, said: “The unique mutations hint at it being an ancestral variant. So if it was sequenced in say mid-December, before anybody had identified the virus in people and started trying to grow it in labs, then it points to secret samples in labs in 2019.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/02/09/early-lab-grown-covid-virus-found-sample-lends-weight-wuhan/

2022-02-09 Mexico City Gave Ivermectin to Thousands of COVID Patients. Officials Face an Ethics Backlash. As the coronavirus coursed through Mexico City early last year, ravaging neighborhoods and overwhelming hospitals, local officials made an unusual decision. They gave out tens of thousands of medical kits to COVID-19 patients containing ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication. Mexico City officials eventually declared their effort a success. They issued an academic paper last spring saying the medical kits had significantly reduced hospitalization rates. That finding, they said, “supports ivermectin-based interventions” to ease the coronavirus pandemic’s burden on health systems. Now city authorities are facing a backlash. A U.S.-based academic site that had posted their paper, SocArXiv, withdrew it last Friday, charging it was “promoting an unproved medical treatment in the midst of a global pandemic.” The site accused city officials of bad science and unethical behavior — in effect, of using citizens like rats in a giant laboratory experiment, without their consent. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/09/mexico-city-covid-ivermectin/

2022-02-09 Bill Maher: What We’re Doing to Kids Is ‘Unnecessary and Horrible’ In the latest episode of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Maher tore into the medical establishment’s handling of COVID, asking “How wrong do you get to be? While still holding the default setting for representing science?”

“We’re making kids, who have a COVID survivability rate of 99.98% mask up like bandits. Unfortunately the thing that’s getting stolen is their education, their sanity and their social skills,” Maher said. Maher pointed to a recent Johns Hopkins study which said lockdowns “have had little-to-no public health effects” and “have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted.” The report concluded lockdowns are “ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”

In July 2021, President Biden told the American people “you’re not going to get COVID” if you’re vaccinated. “I knew he was wrong then and now we all do,” said Maher.

For months it was taboo and even banned on social media to discuss the possibility that COVID originated in a lab. “Now our intelligence agencies agree that it might have,” Maher said.

“Look I’m not saying the medical establishment isn’t trying to figure sh*t out, or that they’re corrupt,” Maher said. “How about just wrong? Wrong a lot.” Maher went on to discuss other times the medical industrial complex was wrong by highlighting the hundreds of prescription drugs that were originally declared safe only to be recalled and outlawed. “How wrong do you get to be? While still holding the default setting for representing science?” Maher asked. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-maher-what-were-doing-to-kids-unnecessary-horrible/

2022-02-09 Does Pfizer Shot Increase Kids’ Risk of Death by 5100%? Here’s What UK Data Tell Us. A Feb. 7 report by The Exposé stating Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine “increases children’s risk of death 5100%” contains concerning data that deserve further examination, however, a closer look at the data raises questions about the report’s conclusions. As stated above, though a large difference in mortality between the vaccinated and unvaccinated exists, it is impossible, based on ONS data, to come to any definitive conclusions about the safety of these vaccines because of the mismatched cohorts and the small number of unclassified deaths in one of the groups.

Let us now examine what this data may tell us about the effectiveness of the shots. How good are the vaccines at preventing deaths from COVID in this age group? There were two COVID deaths in 2,121,963 unvaccinated person-years. There were also two COVID deaths in 27,359 vaccinated person-years. This means the vaccine effectiveness (VE) = -7,557%. This is because the unvaccinated group is 76.57 times larger and had the same number of deaths due to COVID. However, the deaths in the vaccinated group occurred before the child had received a second dose.

By Pfizer’s methodology, blessed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), its product is 100% effective. This is a direct result of only counting deaths 14 days after the second dose. With “zero” deaths in the vaccinated and two in the unvaccinated, the vaccine is 100% effective in preventing death from COVID.

On the other hand, if we compare the two groups of adolescents aged 15-19, we find that there was one COVID death in the 127,842 person-years of the fully vaccinated group and 18 in the 1,587,072 person-years of the unvaccinated group. This results in a calculated vaccine effectiveness of only 31%. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/does-pfizer-shot-increase-kids-risk-death/

2022-02-09 ‘This Week’ With Mary + Polly: ‘Nothing Justifies This’ + More

• In an interview with Tessa Lena, Dr. Meryl Nass describes the circumstances leading up to her having her medical license temporarily suspended for spreading COVID “misinformation.” “She is a world-class expert on vaccines,” said Mary.
• U.S. Army soldiers who refuse the COVID vaccine will soon be discharged, the military branch announced. “This is extraordinary,” said Mary. “This article is very interesting.”
• A powerful Austrian court has issued a “please explain” requesting detailed data on hospitalizations, masks and vaccines to justify heavy-handed COVID rules. “This is my favorite story,” said Mary.
• Denmark lifted all of its domestic COVID restrictions, including the wearing of face masks, making it the first EU country to do so. “This is important,” said Polly. “We must keep up with what’s going on.”
• Sweden and Switzerland joined Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, France and the UK in announcing they will lift COVID restrictions and open up their countries.
• The Novavax vaccine was found to be more than 90% effective against a variety of variants, including Delta, in a US trial last year, with data in December suggesting it could also fight against Omicron. “This is deception,” said Polly.
• More than one in 10 school entry-age children in England are “at risk” of measles because they have not had their vaccines, data revealed. “This is predictable,” said Polly.
• Germany’s expert panel on vaccine use is preparing to recommend a fourth COVID vaccine dose.
• A new super-mutant HIV strain that makes infected individuals ill twice as fast as current versions of the virus has been detected.
• In Canada, the police bodyguard of Trudeau resigned due to “utter tyranny.” “I was moved by this,” said Polly. “A very brave man. It’s worth watching,” said Mary.
• Due to supply chain delays, the labor shortage and pandemic-related disruptions, food prices shot up by 9% in 2021, according to data from IRI, a Chicago-based market research firm.
• Food testing reveals farmed salmon is one of the most toxic foods in the world, having more in common with junk food than health food. “Always buy wild-caught,” said Polly. “We have to be so careful with what’s not just in vaccines, but our food.”
• The clinical trial for Pfizer vaccines failed in ages 6 months to 4 years. We have 14 days to stop the FDA from committing a crime against humanity. “Nothing justifies this,” said Mary. “Please join us to stop this.”

2022-02-09 Pfizer Predicts Record Profits From COVID Products, Says Chances ‘Very High’ FDA Will Authorize Vaccine for Babies and Toddlers Pfizer announced Tuesday projected combined sales of its COVID vaccine and antiviral drug Paxlovid should top $54 billion in 2022, but the company’s stock dropped sharply today. ZeroHedge suggested that language may have to do with last week’s ruling against Pfizer and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration which had wanted to delay the release of Pfizer’s clinical trial safety data. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pfizer-record-profits-covid-vaccine-babies-toddlers/

2022-02-09 U.S. ‘Poised’ to Be First to Give Dangerous Pfizer Shot to Infants and Toddlers On Feb. 15, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will decide whether to authorize Pfizer’s COVID shot for infants and toddlers. A look at how other countries have responded so far to U.S. regulators’ decisions on COVID vaccines suggests many other countries will do whatever the FDA recommends.

A “yes” vote — which media propagandists are positioning as a foregone conclusion — would permit use of the jab in children 6 months through 4 years of age on an “emergency” basis — despite the demonstrable absence of any COVID emergency whatsoever in children, and conversely, considerable potential for both short- and long-term vaccine-related harm.

Political economist Toby Rogers, Ph.D. described Pfizer’s and FDA’s zeal to jab the very youngest as a plan to “shoot up kids first, get the data later” — a crime against humanity that would violate the Nuremberg Code’s prohibitions against illegal medical experiments.

One explanation, not made explicit by public health authorities but outed by Rogers and others, is that doing so would lay the groundwork for subsequently folding COVID shots into the childhood vaccine schedule — thereby ensuring “liability protection forever.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/u-s-poised-pfizer-shot-infants-toddlers/

2022-02-09 Kansas Woman Died From Allergic Reaction to Moderna COVID Vaccine, Autopsy Confirms Jeanie Evans, 68, of Effingham, Kansas, died of “anaphylaxis due to COVID-19 vaccination,” according to her autopsy report. Evans died March 24, 2021, one day after her first dose of Moderna’s vaccine. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/jeanie-evans-died-allergic-reaction-moderna-covid-vaccine-autopsy/

2022-02-08 FDA ‘Anxious’ for Pfizer to Rush COVID Shots for Babies and Toddlers. But Why? Despite conclusive evidence young children have virtually no risk of severe complications or death from COVID-19, Pfizer, at the urging of federal health officials, is hustling to get infants and toddlers injected with experimental COVID vaccines.

• Feb. 1 Pfizer/BioNTech asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to grant emergency use authorization (EUA) for their COVID shot to babies and children aged 6 months through 4 years.
• The EUA will be for a two-dose regimen, with the possibility of extending it to a third dose, as two injections have been shown to be ineffective in 2- to 4-year-olds.
• Children aged 6 months to 4 years will get a dose that is one-tenth the adult dose.
• Were Pfizer to wait until the triple-dose experiment is completed, the EUA request would not be possible until late March 2022, and federal officials are reportedly “anxious to begin a vaccination program for the youngest children because the studies showed there were no safety concerns with two doses.”
• Meanwhile, Pfizer’s own data raise massive safety concerns, as they received 42,086 injury reports, including 1,223 fatalities in the first 2.5 months of their COVID jab rollout for adults.

Federal officials are reportedly “anxious to begin a vaccination program for the youngest children because the studies showed there were no safety concerns with two doses.” In other words, they apparently don’t care whether the shots are effective or not. They claim the shots are “safe,” so it’s OK to inject young children even though they might not gain any benefit. Does that make any sense?

In other words, we’re looking at a horrible tradeoff. You may get some protection against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, but you’re weakening your overall immune function, which opens the door wide to all sorts of other health problems, from bacterial, fungal and viral infections to cancer and autoimmunity.

Is it really wise to expose babies and toddlers to such risks? Just because children aren’t dying within a few weeks of the shot does not mean it’s harmless and therefore safe to use. Most of the damage from these jabs will emerge far down the road, long after they’ve gotten the shot. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-pfizer-rush-covid-shots-babies-toddlers/

2022-02-08 Twitter Bans Freedom Convoy Account, Ottawa Police Seize Truckers’ Diesel Fuel As police escalate pressure on the Freedom Convoy of truckers protesting Canada’s COVID vaccine mandates and Twitter bans the group’s account, public support for the protesters continues to grow.

Levant questioned the legality of police confiscating diesel fuel from protesters: “Taking away the diesel fuel is a low blow [because] it’s very cold in Ottawa and most of these truckers are living in the little cab in their truck so they need diesel fuel for heat. So by taking away their diesel fuel [Trudeau] is really freezing them out … I don’t know what legal justifications they have. The fuel is not illegal. Selling it, owning it, having it, is not illegal.”

The protest against COVID vaccine mandates is gaining popular support, according to Levant, who said: “There was an opinion poll that showed 32% of Canadians see themselves reflected in the truckers. And in our multiparty system that would make them the leading party of Canada if the truckers formed a political movement.”

The truckers may have the support of the Canadian people but they’re facing strong resistance from Canadian police who’ve facilitated armed raids against the protestors, stolen their supplies and even arrested organizers. Meanwhile, Twitter permanently suspended the Freedom Convoy account. A spokesperson for Twitter told Newsweek: “The account you referenced has been permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on ban evasion.” Last week, GoFundMe seized millions of the trucker’s funds, but protestors are receiving support across the border in Alaska, where Alaskan truckers formed their own anti-mandate convoy. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/twitter-bans-freedom-convoy-ottawa-police-seize-truckers-fuel/

2022-02-08 Please Don’t Call This ‘Science’: How FDA, CDC Justified Approval of Moderna’s Spikevax The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval last week of Moderna’s Spikevax COVID vaccine — backed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — made a mockery of science and the regulatory process.

The FDA last week granted its seal of approval for a ghost vaccine that is unavailable in the United States — and it did so using a preordained process that made a mockery of “science” and of “regulation.” Days later, the CDC backed the FDA’s decision, using similarly flawed data and reasoning. The approval of Moderna’s Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine was an even greater travesty than the FDA’s approval last August of Pfizer’s Comirnaty shot.

That’s because Moderna has been even more secretive than Pfizer about its trial data, and because Moderna’s shot is linked to an even higher rate of heart disease than Pfizer’s. The FDA’s approval of the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine led people to believe they would get a fully licensed, FDA-approved vaccine — when in fact they were still getting the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine distributed under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). People can ask for the Comirnaty vaccine as often as they like — but it is not being distributed in the U.S. The Comirnaty vaccine is supposed to be the same formulation as the old Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, but the vials labeled “Comirnaty” are in a legal class of their own.

Because any adult who is harmed or killed as a side effect of an “FDA-approved” vaccine can sue the manufacturer. But if you are harmed in exactly the same way by an EUA vaccine, you are out of luck — the manufacturer and everyone in the chain of delivery has full immunity from lawsuits. The law depends on the label.

Now Moderna has the same legal advantage as Pfizer. Its “Spikevax” is the same formula as the old Moderna vaccine, but only if you are dosed with a vial bearing the “Spikevax” label can you sue for bodily harm. So, of course, the Moderna vaccine continues to be distributed, but Spikevax is not available in the U.S.

The approval of Spikevax is not just a legal sham. It’s also a scientific sham. FDA approval is supposed to include long-term safety testing, but there is no long-term data available for a product that has been in existence less than a year.
