2022-01-25 Flawed CDC Study Wrongly Concludes COVID Vaccines Safe in Pregnancy The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation that pregnant women get the COVID-19 vaccine is based on limited data, poorly matched cohorts and inexcusably low representation of pregnant women in their first trimester
A lot of medications are contraindicated during pregnancy including simple pain meds like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen), antidiarrheals, decongestants, antihistamines, nasal sprays and expectorants. Women are advised not to take these medications during pregnancy because they pose potential risks to the developing fetus.
For decades, expectant mothers have been considered a vulnerable group to be shielded from potential harms of research for the sake of their fetuses’ health. In 1977, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued guidelines excluding pregnant women and women “with childbearing potential” from phase I and phase II clinical trials, where new drugs are tested for safety and efficacy.
This view stemmed, in part, from tragedies caused by two now-infamous drugs that were widely prescribed to pregnant women in the mid-20th century: thalidomide, which caused thousands of children around the world to be born with flipper-like limbs and other birth defects, and diethylstilbestrol, which was linked to higher rates of cancer in both mothers and the daughters born to them. This view changed however in 1993, with the passage of the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act, which sought to increase gender and racial diversity in clinical trials.
Federal regulations currently require any study involving pregnant women to meet 10 criteria, including that, “where scientifically appropriate,” data first be collected on pregnant animals and non-pregnant human subjects to assess risk, and that any risk to mother or fetus be “the least possible for achieving the objectives of the research.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/cdc-study-wrongly-concludes-covid-vaccines-safe-pregnancy/

2022-01-25 Fox News Special Report Outlines Fresh Questions on What Fauci, Government Knew About COVID Origin Fresh questions are being raised about what American scientists and federal health officials knew about the origins of the coronavirus and whether conflicting evidence was suppressed and hidden from the public.
On Tuesday night’s episode of Special Report with Bret Baier, Fox News dove into the early days of the coronavirus pandemic and explored documents obtained showing that Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was warned early on that the virus may have originated in a Wuhan, China lab. According to the timeline of events laid out by Baier, Fauci was told on January 27, 2020, that his NIAID had been indirectly funding the Wuhan lab through EcoHealth — a U.S.-based scientific non-profit that had been working with novel coronaviruses.
Special Report’s findings highlight frustration in the scientific community stemming from lack of openness and incomplete or inaccurate facts as Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill push for more information on what the federal government knew about the origins of the virus and when. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/special-report-outlines-fresh-questions-on-what-fauci-government-knew-about-covid-origin
2022-01-25 OSHA Withdraws Workplace Vaccine Mandate After Facing Lethal Blow by U.S. Supreme Court The Biden administration withdrew its COVID vaccine-or-test mandate for large employers, saying the administration recognized the Emergency Temporary Standard could not be revived after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked it earlier this month. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/osha-withdraws-workplace-vaccine-mandate/
2022-01-24 How COVID Vaccines Suppress the Immune System In a preprint paper, Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., described a mechanism of the COVID shots that results in the suppression of the innate immune system, and how that is leading to an increase in cancer cases in people who got the vaccines.
- In a non-peer-reviewed research paper last week, Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., describes a mechanism of the COVID shots that results in the suppression of your innate immune system. It does this by inhibiting the type-1 interferon pathway.
- The COVID jab can cause neurons in your brain to produce toxic spike protein, or take up circulating spike protein, and the neurons try to eliminate the spike protein by transmitting them through exosomes. The exosomes are picked up by microglia, immune cells in your brain, which activate an inflammatory response, which can contribute to degenerative brain disorders.
- Two microRNAs, miR-148a and miR-590, are central in this process. These microRNAs — excreted in the exosomes along with the spike protein — significantly disrupt the type-1 interferon response in any cell, including immune cells.
- On average, there are twice as many reports of cancer following the COVID shots compared to all other vaccines combined over the last 31 years.
- The fact that the signal is that strong is even more remarkable when you consider that most people don’t think the COVID shot could be a variable in their cancer emergence, so they never report it.

2022-01-24 How Billions in COVID Stimulus Funds Led Hospitals to Prioritize ‘Treatments’ That Killed, Rather Than Cured, Patients In the second half of an interview this month on Del Bigtree’s “The Highwire” — “COVID-19: Following the Money” — policy analyst A.J. DePriest reported on the impact of billions in COVID stimulus funds, which, according to some doctors and lawyers, turned hospitals and medical staff into “bounty hunters,” and COVID patients into “virtual prisoners.”
Highlighting the slew of CMS add-ons and other incentives established with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act — and also the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (PPPHCEA) — they emphasized the payments hinge on hospitals’ willingness to slavishly follow the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) guidelines “for all things related to COVID-19.”
As itemized by Vliet and Shultz, compliant hospitals garner CMS payments for:
- Each completed diagnostic test (required in the emergency room or upon admission).
- Each COVID-19 diagnosis.
- Each COVID admission.
- Use of the intravenously administered Gilead drug remdesivir (brand name Veklury), which yields a 20% bonus payment on the entire hospital bill.
- Mechanical ventilation.
- COVID-19 listed as cause of death.
Citing a Becker’s Hospital Review breakdown, published in April 2020, of CARES Act payments to different states, DePriest told Bigtree payments ranged from $166,000 per COVID patient in Tennessee hospitals, for example, to far higher payments in states such as North Dakota ($339,000), Nebraska ($379,000) and West Virginia ($471,000).
In addition, for hospitals ascertained to be in COVID “hotspots,” HHS distributed special “high-impact” funds — $77,000 per admission initially, later downsized to $50,000 per admission.
2022-01-24 Dr. Meryl Nass — Suspended for ‘Spreading Misinformation’ — Tells RFK, Jr. ‘This Has to Stop’ In an interview with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on “RFK Jr. The Defender Podcast,” Dr. Meryl Nass explained why she’s willing to lose her medical license to fight against “government-directed” healthcare.
A Maine medical licensing board on Jan. 12 suspended Dr. Meryl Nass’ medical license for 30 days and ordered her to undergo a neuropsychological evaluation on Feb. 1. The board accused Nass, a member of the Children’s Health Defense scientific advisory board, of spreading “misinformation regarding the SARS CoV-2 pandemic and the official public health response calling for vaccinations.” The board concluded Nass, who has practiced medicine in Maine for 41 years, “constitutes an immediate jeopardy to the health and physical safety of the public.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-defender-meryl-nass-suspended-misinformation/
2022-01-24 25 Federal Agencies Set Up ‘Orwellian Databases’ to Track Religious Exemption Requests by Federal Employees A review of the Federal Register reveals at least 25 federal agencies set up databases to track the name, contact information, date of birth and religious affiliation of federal employees who seek religious exemptions from COVID vaccine mandates.
“We should not forget that tyrants throughout history often justify the taking of liberty under the guise of safety. The current attempt by the federal government to collect, maintain and share information on its own citizens concerning their most personal and deeply-held religious beliefs under the guise of promoting health and safety is wrong and, given our history of religious liberty and tolerance, is decidedly un-American. As the chief legal official for the citizens of the State of Missouri, I object to the creation of this Database in the strongest possible terms and demand that you rescind this dystopian mandate immediately.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/federal-agencies-databases-track-religious-exemption-employees/
2022-01-24 Former NY Times Journalist Tells Bill Maher: COVID Restrictions Will Be Remembered as ‘Catastrophic Moral Crime’ Former New York Times and Wall Street Journal writer Bari Weiss’ remark that she’s “done with COVID” drew praise from some, and harsh criticism from others. Weiss made the comment during an appearance last week on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
“We were told you get the vaccine … and you get back to normal,” Weiss said. “And we haven’t gotten back to normal. And it’s ridiculous at this point.” “I know that so many of my liberal and progressive friends are with me on this and they do not want to say it out loud because they are scared to be called anti-vax or to be called science-denial or to be you know smeared as a Trumper. “I’m sorry if you believe the science you will look at the data we did not have two years ago and you will find out that cloth masks do not do anything. You will realize that you can show your vaccine passport at a restaurant and still be asymptomatic and carry Omicron.”
“In the past two years, we’ve seen among young girls a 51% increase in self-harm. People are killing themselves. They’re anxious. They are depressed. They are lonely. That is why we need to end it. More than any inconvenience it has been to the rest of us. At this point, it is a pandemic of bureaucracy. It’s not real anymore.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bari-weiss-bill-maher-covid-restrictions-catastrophic-moral-crime/
2022-01-24 ‘Obscene’ COVID Policies Serve Big Pharma Not People, Experts Say A group of world-renowned doctors and medical experts who joined Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) for a panel discussion on COVID blasted the federal government’s response to the global pandemic, calling many of the policies “obscene, absurd, illogical and nonscientific.”
Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and a leader in the outpatient treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection, set the stage for the roundtable with four pillars he believes America should have adopted in responding to the COVID pandemic.
The first pillar is to “limit the spread of the virus,” but not through means the government recommended like using hand sanitizer, McCullough said, as the virus doesn’t spread “by hands or pizza boxes.” The virus is actually spread by an aerosol in the air and from one symptomatic person to another.
The second pillar is early treatment and the third is hospital care, McCullough said. “There is not a single hospital in America that is holding itself out as a center of excellence for the treatment of COVID-19,” he said.
McCullough said the fourth pillar is vaccination, which he recognized as a “part of medicine,” but “never in human history have we widely applied vaccinations into the middle of a widely prevalent pandemic where people are falling ill, recovering and falling ill again
“So, an upper respiratory infection — a virus — will replicate in the body for only about a week. At that point, you only have residual parts of the virus, so these tests that pick up ‘oh, you’re positive still, you’re positive still,’ no, those are the car parts, not the car anymore. “We have a week of intervention where we can maybe try to intervene and stop the viral replication. Beyond that, we’re really just spitting in the wind. Beyond that then the virus and the phase of the disease becomes an inflammatory one and we know with this particular disease, a clotting one.”
Cole said physicians have known for “eons” how to treat inflammation and clotting, so “the simple construct or concept that there’s nothing we can do, go home and let your lips turn blue, it’s a false construct.” Cole said SARS-CoV-2 is a simple upper respiratory infection and physicians can treat it and the sequelae that happen after the virus has replicated. “Early treatment saves lives,” Cole added. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-policies-serve-big-pharma-not-people/

2022-01-24 We’re a Physician and Mathematician and a Data Scientist. N95s Won’t Work for Kids The Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) in the SF Bay Area where we live, announced on Tuesday that it was planning on “transitioning all students and staff” to KN95 respirators. These respirators would be required for the entire school day, including outdoors during gym and recess. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of respirators is vastly overestimated, and there is scant evidence that they stop community transmission. Moreover, NIOSH-approved respirators are tight, uncomfortable, and can impede breathing. The truth is, the burdens of these masks outweigh their benefits for kids. We need to consider more effective, less harmful interventions as we come together to keep schools open and safe. https://www.newsweek.com/were-physician-mathematician-data-scientist-n95s-wont-work-kids-opinion-1672207
2022-01-24 Djokovic Could Play in France Under Latest Vaccine Rules Top-ranked player Novak Djokovic could be allowed to defend his French Open title under the latest COVID-19 rules adopted by the French government, even if he is still not vaccinated when the clay-court Grand Slam starts in May. Djokovic was deported from Australia and barred from playing in the Australian Open this month for not meeting the country’s strict COVID-19 vaccination rules. Under the law that took effect on Monday, anyone who has proof they tested positive within the previous six months is exempt from having to show a vaccine pass. That suggests Djokovic could play in the French Open in May and June, the next Grand Slam tournament, because he has said he tested positive in mid-December. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-novak-djokovic-french-open-tennis-37901cb95b27cf6c33fa3cc42cad1fc4
2022-01-24 FDA May Limit Use of Two COVID Antibody Treatments The U.S. Food and Drug Administration may soon curtail the use of two monoclonal antibody treatments that do not appear to work against the highly contagious Omicron variant. The treatments made by Regeneron and Eli Lilly performed well against earlier variants, but only GlaxoSmithKline’s antibody therapy has stayed strong against Omicron. Last week, the National Institutes of Health updated its guidelines to advise clinics against using these treatments on patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 due to their diminished effectiveness. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2022-01-24/fda-may-limit-use-of-two-covid-antibody-treatments

March organizer Will Witt, an author and political commentator for nonprofit PragerU, said, “This march is about the mandate, and this march is about the Draconian measures that we’re seeing all across this country right now, especially in places like D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/crowds-at-defeat-the-mandates-march-demand-end-to-covid-vaccine-mandates-nationwide
2022-01-24 All California Schoolchildren Must Be Vaccinated Against COVID Under New Bill A California lawmaker known for tightening restrictions on school vaccine laws will propose a bill Monday to close a loophole in the state’s requirement that children receive COVID-19 shots. State Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) will announce Monday morning a bill to add COVID-19 vaccines to California’s list of required inoculations for attending K-12 schools, a move that would override Gov. Gavin Newsom’s scaled-back mandate from last year. California currently requires students at all public and private schools to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. However, that mandate, which was announced by Newsom in October, does not take effect until after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration fully approves the shot for children ages 12 and older. Pan’s bill will go much further than Newsom’s mandate, starting with requiring all students from kindergarten through 12th grade to be vaccinated against COVID-19 beginning Jan. 1. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-01-24/new-vaccine-legislation-california-schoolchildren-mandate

2022-01-24 Why California’s Largest School District Is No Longer Allowing Cloth Masks California’s largest public school system is no longer allowing its students to wear cloth masks and requiring that they wear coverings with a good fit and a nose wire. The change comes as both state and national health officials have been increasingly citing the boosted protection offered by some masks, such as KN95s and N95s, compared with others. The updated rules on the district’s website specify that students must wear “well-fitting, non-cloth masks with a nose wire,” even while outdoors, and all employees are “required to wear surgical grade masks or higher.” https://www.newsweek.com/why-californias-largest-school-district-no-longer-allowing-cloth-masks-1672216
2022-01-23 Over-12s Should Be Able to Get COVID Vaccine in Australia Without Parental Consent, Say Experts Children aged 12 or over should be allowed to receive a COVID vaccine without the consent of their parents, leading ethicists and pediatricians say, while also calling for clearer national guidelines on the issue. Traditionally, parents have been asked to consent to vaccinations of their children, including those in high school, with vaccine providers “usually reluctant to vaccinate, fearing legal consequences or complaints against them” if this consent is not given. While the federal and some state governments have developed guidelines that allow medical practitioners to treat mature minors without parental consent, some providers are not aware of these and even if they are, are still worried about potential legal issues or find them confusing, Massie said. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jan/24/over-12s-should-be-able-to-get-covid-vaccine-in-australia-without-parental-consent-say-experts

We don’t want to get overconfident, but they look like they’re going in the right direction right now,” he said. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fauci-optimistic-omicron-peak-february/story?id=82415835
2022-01-23 Half of First-Wave COVID Cases May Have Lasting Harm to Sense of Smell Nearly half of those who became ill with COVID in the first wave of infections may have long-term and even permanent changes to their sense of smell, according to preliminary research from Sweden. A sudden loss of smell, or an impaired or distorted perception of odors, emerged as an unusual symptom of COVID early on in the pandemic. While many people swiftly recovered, others found that their sense of smell never quite returned to normal. To find out how common the impairments might be, scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm ran comprehensive tests on 100 individuals who caught COVID in the first wave of infections that swept through Sweden in spring 2020. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/jan/23/nearly-half-of-first-wave-covid-cases-may-suffer-lasting-harm-to-sense-of-smell
2022-01-23 Australian Children Facing ‘Generation-Defining Disruption’ Due to Pandemic, Experts Say The indirect effects of the pandemic on children and adolescents are as substantial — if not more so — than the impact of being infected with COVID-19, pediatricians say. A research review from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute led by pediatrician Prof Sharon Goldfeld said interventions needed to be developed now to address growing disparities in child health and wellbeing due to the pandemic. Goldfeld said children were facing a “generation-defining disruption” with public health restrictions and interventions such as online learning, social distancing, increased screen time, reduced access to healthcare, less community sport and less outside play all having repercussions. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jan/24/australian-children-facing-generation-defining-disruption-due-to-pandemic-experts-say

2022-01-22 Pfizer CEO Says an Annual COVID Vaccine Is Preferable to Periodic Boosters Pfizer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Saturday that an annual COVID-19 vaccine would be preferable to more frequent booster shots in fighting the coronavirus pandemic. In an interview with Israel’s N12 News, Bourla was asked whether he sees booster shots being administered every four to five months on a regular basis. “This will not be a good scenario. What I’m hoping (is) that we will have a vaccine that you will have to do once a year,” Bourla said. We are looking to see if we can create a vaccine that covers Omicron and doesn’t forget the other variants and that could be a solution,” Bourla said. Bourla has said Pfizer could be ready to file for approval for a redesigned vaccine to fight Omicron, and mass produce it, as soon as March. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/22/pfizer-ceo-says-an-annual-covid-vaccine-is-preferable-to-periodic-boosters.html

2022-01-21 ‘Convoy for Freedom’: Canadian Truckers Hit the Road in Fight Over Vaccine Mandates Canadian truck drivers who oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates plan to participate in “The Convoy for Freedom,” a cross-country protest, on Jan. 23. The truckers will drive from the country’s westernmost province, British Columbia, thousands of miles east, towards Ottawa. The protest stems from a Jan. 15 order by the Canadian federal government mandating the COVID vaccine for all cross-border U.S. and Canadian truckers.

2022-01-21 Starbucks, Carhartt Take Opposite Stand on Vaccine Mandates — Both Take Heat From Consumers The U.S. Supreme Court’s rejection of the Biden administration’s vaccine-or-test mandate for private businesses left companies like Starbucks and Carhartt scrambling to decide whether they should abandon the mandate or force their employees to be vaccinated.
Meanwhile, a coalition of attorneys general from 27 states is calling on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to rescind its Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) because it lacks the authority to issue a broad vaccine mandate.
Starbucks was one of the first major retailers to backtrack on its plans to require workers to be vaccinated against COVID. Starbucks on Tuesday told its 228,000 employees at more than 9,000 U.S. coffee shops it would no longer require workers be fully vaccinated or submit to weekly COVID testing.
This week, workwear company Carhartt became the latest company to enforce a vaccine mandate for employees despite the Supreme Court ruling. The move incited customer blowback across the nation. On Jan. 14, Carhartt CEO Mark Valade announced in an email to staff the company’s vaccine mandate for its 3,000 U.S. employees would remain in place despite the Supreme Court’s decision. The company will allow for religious and medical exemptions, however. “We put workplace safety at the very top of our priority list, and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling doesn’t impact that core value,” Valade wrote. “An unvaccinated workforce is both a people and business risk that our company is unwilling to take.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/starbucks-carhartt-opposite-stand-vaccine-mandates/?

2022-01-21 Swiss Olympic Sprinter Gets Pericarditis After Pfizer Booster, 22,193 Deaths After COVID Shots Reported to CDC VAERS data released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention included a total of 1,053,830 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 22,193 deaths and 174,864 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020, and Jan. 14, 2022.
In a Jan. 17 social media post, swiss Olympic sprinter Sarah Atcho said she is experiencing pericarditis after receiving a Pfizer booster shot. On Dec. 22, Atcho received a booster because she “didn’t want to struggle with this when the season started” and was told it was safer to get Pfizer — even though she had Moderna the first time — to avoid cardiac side effects. On Dec. 27, Atcho said she started experiencing tightness in her chest and felt dizzy while walking.
