2021-12-21 Here’s Why mRNA COVID Vaccines Might Be Messing With Our Innate Immunity A pre-print study provides evidence to support what many prominent immunologists and vaccinologists have been saying for a long time — mRNA COVID vaccines are causing immune system dysregulation.

These COVID-19 mRNA injectable products are causing, yes, causing, immune system dysregulation — and not just in the context of the adaptive system, but in the context of the innate system. Not only that, but these findings provide very good reasons as to why we are seeing resurgences of latent viral infections and other adverse events reported in VAERS (and other adverse event reporting systems) and perhaps more importantly, why we should under no circumstances inject this crap into our children. Children are fine in the context of COVID-19 (for the 80 millionth time — this is well documented) and this is due to their extraordinary innate immune response systems. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/jessica-rose-mrna-covid-vaccines-innate-immunity/

2021-12-22 85% of COVID Deaths Could Have Been Prevented … So What Happened? Of the people who died from COVID in the U.S., none received adequate and/or early enough treatment, Dr. Peter McCullough told podcast host Joe Rogan. If they had, at least 85% of them would have survived.

• Of the COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., none received adequate and/or early-enough treatment. At least 85% of COVID deaths were preventable.
• There are three components to SARS-CoV-2 infection: viral replication, cytokine storm and blood clotting, therefore necessitating a multidrug approach, and treatment must begin early to be effective.
• Research published in 2006 showed hydroxychloroquine reduced viral replication of SARS-CoV-1 (the original SARS virus). It also has well-established anti-inflammatory properties. These two properties help explain its usefulness against COVID-19.
• There were clear intentional efforts to prevent use of hydroxychloroquine against COVID-19, likely in an effort to make the COVID jabs appear necessary.
• You cannot get COVID-19 twice — those with natural immunity have robust, long-lasting immunity. The Pfizer COVID shot, meanwhile, has been shown to have undetectable effectiveness 201 days after the second dose and Moderna’s effectiveness reaches zero around day 121.

2021-12-21 RFK, Jr.’s Bestselling Book Is ‘Mind-Blowing and Jaw-Dropping’ On a recent episode of “The Jimmy Dore Show,” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joined comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore to discuss Kennedy’s bestselling book “The Real Anthony Fauci,” Fauci’s sordid history as a public health official, and how Fauci and Gates effectively control all biomedical research.

“I wrote the book because so many Americans were looking at Tony Fauci as this kind of savior … the man on the white horse, or in the white lab coat, that would ride us out of this coronavirus crises but I knew from the beginning … that he does not do public health and has not done public health since the 1980’s.

“Fauci transformed his agency into an incubator for pharmaceutical products. Fauci is the architect of agency capture not just at his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases or the National Institutes of Health but across all of Health and Human Services. “They promote pharmaceutical products and the profiteering of the pharmaceutical industry, they promote their own personal power, and [Fauci] is the leader of that pack.” Instead of fulfilling his duty to the American people and finding the causes for chronic diseases and illnesses, Fauci oversaw the U.S. decline from one of the healthiest nations in the world to one of the most unhealthy, Kennedy said.

2021-12-22 Biden Pick for FDA Chief Holds Millions in Big Pharma Investments Dr. Robert Califf, President Biden’s pick to lead the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, made millions as a consultant for more than a dozen pharmaceutical corporations and holds millions more in Big Pharma investments. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/biden-robert-califf-fda-big-pharma-investments/?

2021-12-22 Pfizer Vaccine Clinical Trials Poorly Designed From the Start, Analysis Shows The Canadian COVID Care Alliance assembled a presentation that demonstrates how Pfizer’s purported randomized placebo-controlled, double-blinded study veered away from methodologies that would have definitively answered questions about the vaccine’s safety and efficacy.

In this concise slide deck with an explanatory video, CCCA powerfully summarized why Pfizer’s trial was not designed to adequately demonstrate its product’s safety and efficacy. Here are a few key points from the CCCA presentation:

• Initial data demonstrated a high relative risk reduction of infection yet this amounted to an absolute risk reduction of only 0.84%. It is the absolute risk reduction that determines the risk-benefit ratio required to make informed decisions around inoculation.
• Early unblinding: Several months before publishing six-month observational results Pfizer opted to offer its product to those participants who received the placebo. By eliminating nearly all participants in the placebo wing Pfizer effectively closed the curtain on its experiment because long-term comparisons can no longer be made.
• All-cause mortality and morbidity, the only sensible outcomes to use in determining efficacy and risk, were not considered. Indeed, all-cause mortality was higher in the vaccinated group after six months.
• Severe adverse events outnumbered cases of severe COVID prevented after six months of observation.
• Trial participants were not reflective of the most vulnerable members of our population — more than 50% of people dying from COVID are 75 years of age or older. This age group made up only 4.4% of trial participants. Also, 95% of those who have died from COVID had one or more comorbidities. Nearly 80% of trial participants had none.
• Not every trial participant was tested for COVID. Asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic (presenting few symptoms) cases were missed.

2021-12-22 U.S. Approves First Injury Claim for COVID Countermeasure, as Backlog Grows to 4,000+ Claims The U.S. government program that processes claims for COVID vaccine- and countermeasures-related injuries, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, will issue compensation for its first claim. It’s unknown if the claim is related to a vaccine or some other medication or device related to the diagnosis or treatment of the virus.

According to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) website, “[o]ne COVID-19 claim has been determined eligible for compensation and is pending a review of eligible expenses.” CICP did not reveal the terms of the compensation. Confirmation of the claim comes almost a year after distribution of the vaccines began and after 965,843 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines were submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (as of Dec. 10). https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/injury-covid-countermeasure-backlog-grows/

2021-12-22 Pfizer, FDA Dodge Media Questions About Pfizer Comirnaty Vaccine Two media outlets last week requested, but failed to obtain, clarity from Pfizer on whether its fully licensed Comirnaty COVID vaccine is available in the U.S. Reporting by The Ohio Star and National File highlighted the ongoing debate over whether the vaccine can legally be mandated, and whether Pfizer can be held liable for injuries related to the vaccine. The Star reported that despite asking multiple times whether the Comirnaty vaccine is in use, Pfizer would not answer the question. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in August granted full approval, or Biological License Application Approval (BLA) — for the Comirnaty vaccine for individuals age 16 and older. The approval, granted without a formal advisory committee meeting or public comments, prompted a number of questions including:

1. What, if any, differences exist between the formulations used in the fully licensed Comirnaty vaccine and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine being distributed under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).
2. If/when the fully licensed vaccine would be available in the U.S.

Pfizer’s claim that the two vaccines can “be used interchangeably” is inconsistent with FDA statements, The Star said, citing an FDA Q&A page that states the two vaccines are “legally distinct.” The FDA “did not directly address” The Star’s initial question about the specific difference between Comirnaty and the EUA vaccine, or why Pfizer is not shipping Comirnaty if the formulas are “interchangeable.”

Misrepresentations by media and public officials — like those of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Ohio attorney general claiming the Pfizer vaccines in use in the U.S. are FDA-approved — coupled with the FDA’s own ambiguous documents and public statements have given rise to public confusion and legal questions.

2021-12-22 ‘This Week’ With Mary + Polly: ‘We Live in a World of Propaganda and Censorship’ + More

• Documents reviewed by Reuters reveal tens of millions of migrants may be denied COVID vaccines from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance because some major manufacturers are worried about legal risks from harmful side effects. “It’s fascinating,” said Mary.
• Whiplash on U.S. vaccine mandates is leaving companies confused. What does fully vaccinated really mean? “Confused as everyone is,” said Mary.
• CHD is calling on scientists, citizens and medical experts to help stop President Biden’s COVID vaccine mandates for employees, federal contractors and healthcare workers by posting comments on three federal rulemaking websites.
• COVID vaccines are “irreversible and potentially permanently damaging,” said Dr. Robert Malone, who explained why 16,000 physicians and medical scientists around the world signed a declaration publicly declaring healthy children should not be vaccinated for COVID-19. “A really good article to share,” said Polly.
• Experts say babies and toddlers could be eligible for COVID vaccines by early 2022. “That’s ridiculous,” said Polly.
• On the same day the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was aware of eight cases of heart inflammation in 5- to 11-year-olds vaccinated with Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, Pfizer and BioNTech announced they would seek full approval for their Comirnaty COVID vaccine for children 12 through 15.
• Get your shot for Santa and receive a $100 gift card! “Absolutely unethical,” said Mary.
• In New Orleans, starting Jan. 3, 2022, proof of vaccination or a negative test will be required for everyone ages 5 and up at restaurants and public places.
• Brazil’s health regulator approved the Pfizer vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old, joining a growing list of countries green-lighting vaccination for kids. However, Brazil’s president wants to publish the names of the officials behind the decision.
• Kenyan authorities should amend measures requiring everyone seeking government services to be fully vaccinated to avoid undermining basic rights, Human Rights Watch said. “This was interesting to me,” said Mary.
• Spanish health authorities are stepping up efforts to give out COVID vaccines to children before Christmas and end-of-year gatherings that usually bring large groups together.

Urgent: 3 Ways to Help Stop Biden’s Vaccine Mandates

• No more international travel for 12- to 15-year-olds without a “COVID Pass,” UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said this week.
• Pfizer and BioNTech are testing a third dose of their COVID vaccine in an ongoing trial of children ages 6 months to under 5 years after the companies found the two-dose regimen didn’t generate a strong enough immune response in some children. “We live in a world of propaganda and censorship,” said Mary. “We have to try and teach people the truth.”
• Several republicans, led by California Rep. Darrell Issa, told President Biden on Tuesday he was committing a “grave mistake” in enforcing a vaccine mandate on all U.S. military personnel.
• The U.S. Air Force said 27 service members had been discharged for refusing to receive a COVID vaccine, the first active-duty troops believed to have been removed for defying the mandate.
• The U.S. Navy began kicking out sailors who refuse to get the COVID vaccine, but it won’t slap dishonorable discharges on anyone for their decision to ignore a direct order.
• Ingo Rademacher, an actor on “General Hospital” for almost 25 years, sued ABC for terminating his contract without explanation after he asked for a religious exemption to the company’s COVID vaccine mandate. “A very important case,” said Mary.
• In a bid to push more of its workers to get vaccinated against COVID, Kroger will eliminate paid pandemic-related leave and charge $50 per month to employees that haven’t gotten shots. “The whole thing doesn’t make sense,” said Mary.
• A trial has begun of a new needle-free COVID vaccine to protect against future variants of the virus. “Please don’t sign up for this,” said Polly.
• The SARS Co-V-2 virus most likely originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to a new book on the subject. “Another really interesting article,” said Mary.
• A microchip technology introduced in recent years by the Stockholm-based startup Epicenter is being presented as a means to store one’s COVID vaccine passport under the skin.
• A shortage of vaccinated nannies, babysitters and daycare workers is making the seemingly impossible quest to find childcare even harder.
• U.S. passenger railroad Amtrak said it will temporarily suspend a vaccine mandate for employees and now no longer expects to be forced to cut some service in January. “It’s crumbling,” said Polly.
• Boeing suspended its COVID vaccination requirement for U.S.-based employees, capping weeks of uncertainty as thousands of workers sought exemptions, and challenges to a federal mandate played out in court.
• The CEO of Southwest Airlines claimed in a Senate hearing that wearing masks to stop the spread of COVIDon f lights is excessive. He argued high-end air filtration systems make planes the safest indoor space to be in. “They don’t want masks on their planes,” said Polly.
• Los Angeles delayed enforcing its student vaccination mandate.

2021-12-21 CDC, FDA Say No Deaths From COVID Vaccines. VAERS Data Tell Different Story The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim no deaths can be attributed to the COVID vaccines, but it’s impossible to discount the thousands of deaths reported so far to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

• The U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is among the best adverse event data collection systems in the world, but it’s antiquated and difficult to use. Still, it’s a good way to detect safety signals that weren’t detected during premarket testing or clinical trials.
• There are unmistakable, unprecedented safety signals in VAERS for the COVID shots. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim no deaths can be attributed to the COVID jabs, it’s impossible to discount 8,986 deaths in the U.S. territories alone, reported as of Nov. 26.
• The estimated underreporting factor for COVID jab injuries in VAERS is between 31 and 100, so the actual death toll in the U.S. could be anywhere from 278,500 to 898,600.
• There’s a strong safety signal for female reproductive issues and for heart inflammation (myocarditis) in young men and boys. VAERS data show an inverse relationship between myocarditis and age, with youths being more frequently affected than older men.
• VAERS data are being deleted without explanation. Each week, about 100 or so reports are routinely deleted, so there are now thousands of inexplicably missing reports.

2021-12-21 CEO of New York’s Largest Hospital System Says ‘No Crisis’ Despite Surging COVID Cases The CEO of New York state’s largest hospital system urged people to stay calm amid the surge in coronavirus cases while appearing on CNN Tuesday. Michael Dowling, CEO of Northwell Health — which serves New York City, Long Island and Westchester County — told CNN that while the area’s positivity rate is rising, it does not automatically mean an increase in hospitalizations. Dowling said that as of Tuesday, hospitals in the Northwell Health network were still managing the case increases. “We’re doing very, very well. Very manageable. There’s no crisis,” he said. About 460 COVID-19 patients are in the hospital system, less than 10% of its overall capacity, Dowling said. https://www.newsweek.com/ceo-new-yorks-largest-hospital-system-says-no-crisis-despite-surging-covid-cases-1661678

2021-12-21 German Committee Recommends Booster After Three Months as Omicron Spreads Germany’s STIKO vaccine authority on Tuesday shortened the recommended period between a second coronavirus shot and a booster to three months from six, reflecting the increasing presence of the highly infectious Omicron variant. The authority said anyone over age 18 should have a booster using an mRNA vaccine three months after completing a two-shot course of COVID-19 vaccines. For the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, that period remains four weeks. STIKO also recommended that anyone over age 12 who was infected with the coronavirus should receive a shot at least three months after they recovered. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/german-vaccine-committee-recommends-booster-after-three-months-2021-12-21/

2021-12-21 Highly Vaccinated United Arab Emirates Reports Most Virus Cases in Months The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday recorded its highest daily virus caseload in months, a spike that comes as the Omicron variant races across the globe and the Mideast tourist hub prepares to welcome hordes of tourists for the holidays. The emirate reported 452 infections in the past 24 hours, including two deaths — an increase not seen in the highly vaccinated Gulf Arab state since mid-September. The UAE boasts one of the world’s highest vaccination rates, with authorities reporting that over 99% of eligible residents have received at least one dose. The government also offers Pfizer-BioNTech booster shots to all adults. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-lifestyle-health-travel-holidays-c457950607b6633170231b2f095223d3

2021-12-21 CDC Director Says Initial COVID Shots ‘May Not Be Enough’ as Omicron Rapidly Sweeps the Nation CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the Omicron variant of the coronavirus has “over 50 mutations and because of those mutations, just being vaccinated with two doses may not be enough” ahead of the holidays. Walensky told CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith” on Monday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was “examining” its definition of fully vaccinated. Right now, the agency defines full vaccination as two weeks after the second dose of one of the two-shot vaccines from Moderna or Pfizer or two weeks after the one-dose vaccine from Johnson & Johnson. Even so, Walensky said that vaccines “may not prevent infection” according to data so far. She said this means people need “to continue to wear their masks to prevent the infections overall.” https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/21/cdc-dir-walensky-being-vaccinated-with-two-doses-may-not-be-enough.htm

2021-12-21 A Bluetooth Bug in a Popular At-Home COVID Test Could Falsify Results A security researcher found a Bluetooth vulnerability in a popular at-home COVID-19 test allowing him to modify its results. F-Secure researcher Ken Gannon identified the since-fixed flaw in the Ellume COVID-19 Home Test, a self-administered antigen test that individuals can use to check to see if they have been infected with the virus. Rather than submitting a sample to a testing facility, the sample is tested using a Bluetooth analyzer, which then reports the result to the user and health authorities via Ellume’s mobile app. Gannon found, however, that the built-in Bluetooth analyzer could be tricked to allow a user to falsify a certifiable result before the Ellume app processes the data. https://techcrunch.com/2021/12/21/ellume-bug-covid-results/

2021-12-21 Spain, Portugal Face New Restrictions Despite High Vaccine Rates Despite vaccination rates that make other governments envious, Spain and Portugal are facing the hard truth that, with the new Omicron variant running rampant, these winter holidays won’t be a time of unrestrained joy. Portugal on Tuesday announced a slew of new restrictions over Christmas and the New Year, making working from home mandatory and shutting discotheques and bars beginning Saturday night. Also, a negative test result must be shown to enter Portuguese cinemas, theaters, sports events, weddings and baptisms until at least Jan. 9.Catalonia, home to the northeastern city of Barcelona, is prepared to become the first Spanish region to reinstate serious limitations and put a damper on the holiday cheer. Catalan health authorities have asked the courts to authorize a battery of measures including a new nightly curfew from 1-6 a.m., a limit of 10 people per social gathering, the closure of nightclubs, and capping restaurants at 50% of indoor seating and stores, gyms and theaters at 70% capacity. If approved, the rules would take effect on Christmas Eve and last for 15 days, wiping out most New Year’s party. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-lifestyle-holidays-europe-f225f13329feb22eb525bb8931ac7e4c

Calling the program “by far the biggest booster incentive program in the United States of America,” Bill de Blasio acknowledged the limited-time opportunity but said it was coming at exactly the right time for the pandemic-weary city. New Yorkers can also go to SOMOS sites partnering with the city and get the $100 incentive.

2021-12-21 COVID: EU Vaccine Passports Only Valid 9 Months Without Booster   The European Commission announced Tuesday that COVID vaccine certificates in the bloc would only be valid for nine months without a booster shot.  Announcing the decision, the EU Commission said that a harmonized validity period for COVID vaccine passports “is a necessity for safe free movement and EU level coordination.”  EU residents are recommended to receive a booster shot six months, at the latest, after they’re fully vaccinated. But the certificate will be valid for three additional months as a grace period to ensure access to booster doses, the Commission added.    https://www.dw.com/en/covid-eu-vaccine-passports-only-valid-9-months-without-booster/a-60204437

2021-12-21 Steve Bannon Says ‘War on Unvaccinated’ Is Starting, Dismisses ‘Mass Vaccinations’ With Omicron spreading rapidly throughout the United States, Steve Bannon warned that he felt a “war” against unvaccinated people is coming and pushed back on the White House’s strategy to fight the pandemic by increasing inoculations. Bannon, the former White House Chief Strategist under Donald Trump, called Omicron the strain of COVID-19 that could help America reach herd immunity. He noted that the variant, which is now the dominant strain in the U.S., is highly transmissible but believed to cause less severe disease than other variants. The goal of herd immunity, which is achieved through either large numbers of inoculations or a majority of people having antibodies due to previous infections, is to have enough people protected from a virus that it struggles to spread and thereby helps protect those who cannot be inoculated. https://www.newsweek.com/steve-bannon-says-war-unvaccinated-starting-dismisses-mass-vaccinations-1661785

The California-based semiconductor company told employees last month they had a Jan. 4 deadline to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or seek an exemption, citing a government mandate for federal contractors. ​​In a Dec. 7 memo to employees, Chief People Officer Christy Pambianchi told employees the Jan. 4 vaccine deadline remains in place. She wrote that employees who aren’t vaccinated must seek a medical or religious accommodation and submit to weekly testing, regardless of whether they are still working remotely. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-religion-oregon-1366bdfdf1f72d947fddfe39694f2223

2021-12-21 Why I’m Pro-Vaccine but Anti-Vaccine Mandate Last Thursday, the University of California fired my good friend and new colleague, Aaron Kheriaty, for refusing vaccination. The next day, a federal circuit court allowed President Joe Biden‘s OSHA vaccine mandate to take effect throughout the United States, meaning many other citizens may soon be penalized. But we should not treat conscientious objectors to the vaccine like this. Dr. Kheriaty, a physician and psychiatrist, has taught and treated patients at the UC-Irvine Hospital and Medical School for 15 years. He has also directed the medical school’s bioethics program. He treated COVID patients throughout the pandemic, including when everyone was most concerned about the virus’ lethality. As a result, he caught the virus and developed natural immunity. https://www.newsweek.com/why-im-pro-vaccine-anti-vaccine-mandate-opinion-1661402

Michael O’Leary told The Telegraph that authorities should be making life harder for “idiot” anti-vaxxers or those who’ve denied the jab without good cause. “If you’re not vaccinated, you shouldn’t be allowed in the hospital, you shouldn’t be allowed to fly, you shouldn’t be allowed on the London Underground, and you shouldn’t be allowed in the local supermarket or your pharmacy either,” O’Leary told the paper. https://www.newsweek.com/airline-ceo-says-idiot-anti-vaxxers-should-not-allowed-fly-shop-groceries-1661739

But the billionaire also said he believes this current wave of the coronavirus will be over by March of next year since the new coronavirus variant spreads so quickly. Because of its quick transmissibility, Gates thinks we could get out of this wave in under three months. https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-canceled-holiday-plans-due-to-omicron-2021-12

Biden Plan Will Send out 500 Million Coronavirus Tests and Federal Vaccinators Across 12 States The White House says President Biden will deliver a speech Tuesday to announce a plan to distribute 500 million free at-home rapid COVID-19 tests beginning next month, as the administration ramps up attempts to deal with the spread of the Omicron variant. The administration says it will set up a website for Americans who want to request a test to be delivered to their homes for free.

The president’s so-called “winter plan” will also send 1,000 medical military members — including doctors, nurses, and other personnel — to hospitals overwhelmed with COVID patients and will set up more free federal testing sites.

And the administration says it will deploy hundreds of federal “vaccinators” across 12 states, Tribes, and territories to help “enable thousands of additional appointments over the next few weeks.” https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/21/22848070/biden-plan-coronavirus-tests-omicron-variant-testing-vaccine

2021-12-21 Vaccinated People With COVID May Soon Not Have to Isolate for 10 Days — if They’re Asymptomatic — Fauci Suggests The federal government is considering relaxing its guidance for people with COVID-19 to isolate for 10 days after developing symptoms — particularly for healthcare workers with asymptomatic cases — Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday, as the U.S. faces a likely huge influx in mild breakthrough cases from the highly transmissible Omicron coronavirus variant.

Fauci was asked about the isolation period after Dr. Anish K. Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, suggested on Twitter the 10-day period may be “excessive” for people who have received booster shots and only have mild breakthrough cases — though he noted “more data” on exactly when people stop being contagious “would be nice.”

2021-12-21 Researchers Show How COVID Damages Immune System, Increasing Cancer Risks — Science Says Vaccines May Do the Same The discovery by Swedish researchers that the SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike protein weakens the adaptive immune system by damaging a crucial DNA repair mechanism raises questions about whether mRNA COVID vaccines could do the same — and whether that might increase a person’s risk of developing cancer.

Noting the importance of adaptive immunity versus innate immunity, the authors wrote: “Unlike innate immune responses, the adaptive responses are highly specific to the particular pathogen that induced them. They can also provide long-lasting protection. A person who recovers from measles, for example, is protected for life against measles by the adaptive immune system, although not against other common viruses, such as those that cause mumps or chickenpox.”

Data reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by Pfizer found a statistically significant 40% increase in suspected COVID cases, with 409 cases in the vaccinated group in the first week of the trial, compared to 287 in the placebo group.

The fact that the Swedish researchers reported a loss of immune function associated with the invasion of the spike protein into the cell nucleus, combined with previous clinical trial data that found transient reductions in the number of white blood cells, may explain reports of increased COVID infections shortly after vaccination. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-vaccines-immune-system-cancer-risks/

2021-12-21 Biden Predicts ‘Winter of Severe Illness’ for Unvaccinated, Ignores Science on COVID Vaccines, Treatments In his speech today to the nation, President Biden invoked “overwhelming science” to justify his COVID solutions — vaccines, boosters and masking — but provided no details to back up the science behind his plan to end the pandemic.

But why would those solutions — the same solutions he’s been proposing all along — succeed now, when for the past two years, they’ve only failed? The president also blamed the ongoing rise in COVID cases on those purveying “dangerous misinformation” and “peddling lies.” He called out such actors as “wrong” and “immoral” and called on them to stop. Many, many times throughout today’s speech Biden pleaded for people to “please get vaccinated.”

But what the president didn’t say today was as significant as what he did say. Biden uttered not a word about effective early treatments that can save lives; about the staggering tally of injuries and deaths among the vaccinated and boosted; or about the science of antibody-dependent enhancement or pathogenic priming that seems to account for “breakthrough” cases among the vaccinated. Biden didn’t mention the states and corporations that refuse to uphold federal vaccine mandates; the obscene profits COVID vaccine makers are reaping; or the rampant, serious inflationary pressure his COVID policies have engendered.

It is hard to see that anything the president announced today will dramatically alter the current course of more fearmongering, more blame heaped on the unvaccinated, and more preventable deaths caused by the failure to promote safe and effective early treatments against COVID. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/biden-predicts-winter-of-severe-illness-unvaccinated

Austria is the first country in the world to propose compulsory vaccination by law. The government’s new mandates are likely to be approved by the legislature in January and are set to take effect in February 2022. As the law is currently written, the mandates will expire in January 2024. Those who don’t comply with vaccination and booster shot requirements will be required to pay quarterly fines, with the exception of pregnant women and children under 14, who will not be required to get the vaccine. In a nation of 9 million people claiming two-thirds of the population is vaccinated, the law will potentially ostracize and penalize at least a third of Austria’s citizens. The number of those fined could dramatically increase as people refuse additional boosters. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/austrians-battle-medical-freedom-democracy/?

2021-12-21 AP’s Hit Piece on RFK, Jr. Symbolizes Intellectual, Moral Collapse of Mainstream News Industry The mainstream media are incapable of facing the truth about Pharma because it would reveal their own complicity in crimes against humanity.

In their shame and humiliation, the object of their ire becomes Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy is everything they are not. He is smarter and more successful than they are. But more than that, Kennedy has moral character, something that is in vanishingly short supply in mainstream newsrooms these days. He has also more reach. COVID-19 information on Kennedy’s website, The Defender, is shared more often on social media than the corporate nonsense coming from CNN, NPR, New York Times, Washington Post and the CDC (no surprise there really). https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/associated-press-hit-piece-rfk-jr-mainstream-news-industry/

2021-12-20 Archbishop Viganò’s startling warning to the American people for two years now, a global coup has been carried out all over the world, planned for some time by an elite group of conspirators enslaved to the interests of international high finance. This coup was made possible by an emergency pandemic that is based on the premise of a virus that has a mortality rate almost analogous to that of any other seasonal flu virus, on the delegitimization and prohibition of effective treatments, and on the distribution of an experimental gene serum which is obviously ineffective, and which also clearly carries with it the danger of serious and even lethal side effects. https://progressiveissuesblog.wordpress.com/2022/01/05/2021-12-20-archbishop-viganos-startling-warning-to-the-american-people/
