Trinity Nuclear Test’s FalloutReached 46 States,Canada and Mexico,Study Finds
The research shows that the first atomic bomb explosion’s effects had been underestimated, and could help more “downwinders”press for federal compensation.

By Lesley M. Blume     July 20, 2023

In July 1945, as J. Robert Oppenheimer and the other researchers of the Manhattan Project prepared to test their brand-new atomic bomb in a New Mexico desert, they knew relatively little about how that mega-weapon would behave.
On July 16, when the plutonium-implosion device was set off atop a hundred-foot metal tower in a test code-named “Trinity,” the resultant blast was much stronger than anticipated. The irradiated mushroom cloud also went many times higher into the atmosphere than expected: some 50,000 to 70,000 feet. Where it would ultimately go was anyone’s guess.

A new study, released on Thursday ahead of submission to a scientific journal for peer review, shows that the cloud and its fallout went farther than anyone in the Manhattan Project had imagined in 1945. Using state-of-the-art modeling software and recently uncovered historical weather data, the study’s authors say that radioactive fallout from the Trinity test reached 46 states, Canada and Mexico within 10 days of detonation.
“It’s a huge finding and, at the same time, it shouldn’t surprise anyone,” said the study’s lead author, Sébastien Philippe, a researcher and scientist at Princeton University’s Program on Science and Global Security.

The study also reanalyzed fallout from all 93 aboveground U.S. atomic tests in Nevada and created a map depicting composite deposition of radioactive material across the contiguous U.S. (The team also hopes to study U.S. tests over the Pacific Ocean in the future).
How much of Trinity’s fallout still remain at original deposition sites across the country is difficult to calculate, said Susan Alzner, an author of the study and the co-founder of shift7, an organization that coordinated the study’s research. The study documents deposition as it originally hit the ground in 1945.

“It’s a frozen-in-time image,” she said. https://vp.nyt.com/video/2023/07/20/110154_1_21trinity-fallout-vid_wg_720p.mp4

Compo, Mason Grimshaw, Megan SmithThe findings could be cited by advocates aiming to increase the number of people eligible for compensation by the federal government for potential exposure to radiation from atmospheric nuclear explosions.

The drift of the Trinity cloud was monitored by Manhattan Project physicists and doctors, but they underestimated its reach. “They were aware that there were radioactive hazards, but they were thinking about acute risk in the areas around the immediate detonation site,” Alex Wellerstein, a nuclear historian at the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey, said. They had little understanding, he said, about how the radioactive materials could embed in ecosystems, near and far. “They were not really thinking about effects of low doses on large populations, which is exactly what the fallout problem is.”

At the time, Dr. Stafford L. Warren, a Manhattan Project physician specializing in nuclear medicine, reported to Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves, leader of the Manhattan Project, that the Trinity cloud “remained towering over the northeast corner of the site for several hours.” Soon, he added, “various levels were seen to move in different directions.” Dr. Warren assured General Groves that an assessment of the fallout’s reach could be undertaken later onhorsedback.

In the decades that followed, a lack of crucial data has bedeviled assessments and attempts studies of the Trinity test’s fallout.

The U.S. had no national monitoring stations in place in 1945 to track the fallout, Dr. Philippe said. Plus, essential historical weather and atmospheric data was available only from 1948 onward. Remodeling fallout from tests in Nevada — starting in 1951 — was easier, but Trinity remained frustratingly difficult to reanalyze.

In the decades that followed, a lack of crucial data has bedeviled assessments and attempted studies of the Trinity test’s fallout.

Remodeling fallout from tests in Nevada — starting in 1951 — was easier, but Trinity remained frustratingly difficult to reanalyze.

“The data sets for the Nevada tests and the available data that we could possibly find for Trinity were not comparable,” Ms. Alzner said. “You couldn’t put them on the same map. We decided to keep pushing.”Determined to fill in the gaps, the team started the study about 18 months ago. Dr. Philippe has extensive background in modeling fallout and was an author of a similar project in 2021 that documented the effects from French nuclear tests.
A breakthrough came in March, when Ms. Alzner and Megan Smith, another co-founder of shift7 and a former United States chief technology officer in the Obama administration, contacted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. There, Gilbert P. Compo, a senior research scientist at the University of Colorado and the NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory, told the team that the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts had only a week earlier released historical data that charted weather patterns extending 30,000 feet or higher above Earth’s surface.

“For the first time, we had the most accurate hourly reconstruction of the weather back to 1940, around the world,” said Dr. Compo, who became a co-author on the study. “Every single event that puts something in the air, no matter what it is, can now be tracked, by the hour.”

Using the new data and software built by NOAA, Dr. Philippe then reanalyzed Trinity’s fallout. And while the study’s authors acknowledge limitations and uncertainties within their calculations, they maintain that “our estimates likely remain conservatively low.”
“It’s a very comprehensive, well-executed study,” said M. V. Ramana, professor and Simons chair in disarmament, global and human security at the University of British Columbia, who was not involved in the study. Dr. Ramana was unsurprised by the study’s findings about Trinity. “I expected that the old estimates were understating what was actually deposited,” he said.

The results show that New Mexico was heavily affected by Trinity’s fallout. Computations by Dr. Philippe and his colleagues show the cloud’s trajectory primarily spreading up over northeast New Mexico and a part of the cloud circling to the south and west of ground zero over the next few days. The researchers wrote that there are “locations in New Mexico where radionuclide deposition reached levels on par with Nevada.”A map depicting composite deposition of radioactive material across the contiguous U.S. from the Trinity test in New Mexico and from 93 atmospheric tests in Nevada.Credit…Sébastien Philippe, Susan Alzner, Gilbert P. Compo, Mason Grimshaw, Megan Smith

Trinity’s fallout, Dr. Philippe says, accounts for 87 percent of total deposition found across New Mexico, which also received deposition from Nevada’s aboveground tests. The study also found that Socorro County — where the Trinity test took place — has the fifth highest deposition per county of all counties in the United States.

Trinity test “downwinders” — a term describing people who have lived near nuclear test sites and may have been exposed to deadly radioactive fallout — have never been eligible for compensation under the 1990 Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). It has provided over $2.5 billion in payments to nuclear workers in much of the Western U.S. and to downwinders who were located near the Nevada test site and may have developed cancer or other diseases as a result of radiation exposure.

“Despite the Trinity test taking place in New Mexico, many New Mexicans were left out of the original RECA legislation and nobody has ever been able to explain why,” said Senator Ben Ray Luján, a New Mexico Democrat. He has helped lead efforts in Congress to expand and extend the legislation, currently due to sunset in 2024.

Census data from 1940 shows that as many as 500,000 people were living within a 150-mile radius of the test site. Some families lived as close as 12 miles away, according to the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. Yet no civilians were warned about the test ahead of time, and they weren’t evacuated before or after the test.

“This new information about the Trinity bomb is monumental and a long time coming,” Tina Cordova, a co-founder of the consortium, said. “We’ve been waiting for an affirmation of the histories told by generations of people from Tularosa who witnessed the Trinity bomb and talked about how the ash fell from the sky for days afterward.”
The study also documents significant deposition in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and Idaho, as well as dozens of federally-recognized tribal lands, potentially strengthening the case for people seeking expanded compensation in those areas.

Although Dr. Wellerstein said that he approaches such reanalyses of historical fallout with a certain amount of uncertainty, partly because of the age of the data, he said there is value in such studies by keeping nuclear history and its legacy in the public discourse.

“The extent to which America nuked itself is not completely appreciated still, to this day, by most Americans, especially younger Americans,” he said.
A correction was made on July 20, 2023: An earlier version of this article misspelled a researcher’s surname. He is Sébastien Philippe, not Phillippe.Check out these links to more media coverage andinterviews with Trinity Downwinders.

Best Way to Honor Downwinders? Extend, Expand RECA

BY MIA MONTOYA HAMMERSLEY- STAFF ATTORNEY, N.M. ENVIRONMENTAL LAW CENTER  Jan. 27, 2022 

January 27 is the National Day of Remembrance for Downwinders. Mia Montoya Hammersley is an Indigenous water and environmental attorney, member of the Piro, Manso, Tiwa Tribe and a Yoeme (Yaqui) descendant.

Every summer when I was growing up, I looked forward to the time I would spend with my family in Tularosa. A quiet oasis, these weeks were spent picking fruit from the trees in my grandparents’ yard and racing empty banana split boats through the irrigation ditches with my cousins.

My grandfather, Demetrio “Dee” Herrera Montoya, served as mayor of Tularosa for many years. He passed away in 2010 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He and my grandmother were children when the world’s first nuclear weapon was detonated on July 16, 1945, approximately 45 miles from their homes in the Tularosa Basin.

This nuclear test, code named “Trinity” by Los Alamos Laboratory Director J. Robert Oppenheimer was carried out without the knowledge or consent of the approximately 500,000 people within a 150-mile radius of the blast zone. 

The blast took place in the White Sands, a place sacred to many Indigenous communities and rich with cultural resources such as the recently discovered 23,000-year-old human footprints.

Oral histories from the time of the detonation tell of how ash fell from the sky like snow for days afterward, blanketing entire communities and contaminating crops, drinking water, soil and livestock grazing sites with toxic radiation.

The history of World War II that I learned growing up never included the fact the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were preceded by a nuclear test that exposed American citizens, my own family and community, to harmful radiation.

The cost was immense; many people lost their lives to cancer, and families struggled with the medical bills and travel required for treatment. In the 77 years since the Trinity test, the U.S.government has never recognized the tremendous harm to the communities enlisted into service of our country without their consent.

The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act fund provides compensation to individuals who contracted certain cancers or other serious diseases resulting from exposure to radiation released during above-ground nuclear weapons tests or from exposure to radiation during employment in underground uranium mines.

The original RECA is due to sunset in July. However, Senate 2798, sponsored by Sen. Ben Ray Luján, and (the identical) House 5338, sponsored by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez, are being considered as amendments to extend and expand RECA. (The House version) recently passed the House Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support. 

Everyone in New Mexico and the nation should be standing together to ensure these bills are passed. Over the past 31 years, the RECA fund has paid out approximately $2.5 billion to impacted individuals, while the U.S. government spends approximately $50 billion per year to maintain our nuclear arsenal. The expense of extending and expanding RECA would be nominal in comparison.

As with other environmental injustices, Indigenous communities and communities of color like mine have shouldered the greatest costs of nuclear weapons development, from uranium mining to nuclear testing.

To those who believe the Trinity test was a necessary cost to safeguard our national security, the time has come to recognize and compensate downwinder communities for their sacrifice.

Whenever I drive by the White Sands, I can’t help but think about the devastation caused by the Trinity test not so long ago. But I also think of the time spent with my cousins, sledding down the dunes.

Link to the RECA bill with list of current co-sponsors:  www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5338?r=10&s=1
“President Ronald Reagan believed that nuclear weapons are immoral, and so he sought their complete elimination, and I agreed – and still dowith deep conviction. In the end, this is a matter of profound morality.”–George P. Schultz, US Secretary of State 1982-89


Some of the highest cancer mortality rates in the nation are found in New Mexico. The cancer mortality rates for the four counties surrounding the Trinity Test Site(Lincoln, Otero, Sierra and Socorro) are three to eight times higher than the national rate.

The data we are collecting using Health Surveys supports the information provided. The data above was posted on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website. That data has since been remove from their website.  



When Robert Oppenheimer, the Father of the atomic bomb, witnessed the first atomic inferno called Trinity, the unexpected and unnerving thought that came to him was a sentence from the BHAGAVAD GITA: Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds. NM FlagDonate to the Cause.

Pseudopandemic: New Normal Technocracy

Posted on July 27, 2023 by mekorganic

Pseudopandemic: New Normal Technocracy by Iain Davis 

A gripping exposition of political deceit. A wealth of evidence informs one of the most important books you will ever read.

Pseudopandemic offers an unflinching and compelling dissection of the global response to the COVID 19 pandemic.

The COVID 19 pandemic was a global humanitarian tragedy. Every life lost was an unbearable pain inflicted upon suffering families the world over.

When the World Health Organisation declared the pandemic they signalled to governments around the world that they must take action to protect their populations from the ravages of a pandemic disease. Did they also alert a global network of public – private partnerships that their opportunity had arrived?

Many warned that the measures taken to protect the public would add further unnecessary suffering. They stated that the policy response to the COVID 19 pandemic was contrary to the scientific evidence and prevailing epidemiological wisdom. Raising concerns about devastation caused by lockdowns and other mitigation measures, they maintained that the cure was worse than the disease.

Convinced by the politicians and the media that the scale of the threat necessitated unprecedented restrictions, the vast majority considered these sceptics to be fools.

But what if the sceptics were right?

What are the costs of the pandemic response and did some see COVID 19 as the justification they sought to pursue their ambitions?

Built upon a rigorous examination of the evidence, Pseudopandemic explores the unthinkable and delivers a damning indictment of global corruption.

The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health

Posted on July 25, 2023 by mekorganic

The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health

Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. Hands down, he is anything but.

As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for rigged scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe—truly a dark agenda. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal in a back handed manner to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward in an authoritarian manner.

During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research on his laptop and through interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future of our children’s health.

In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Bill Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential. Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy and our beautiful country. This is not just another political book. The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets—both conservative and liberal leaning, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.

“Dr. Joseph Goebbels wrote that ‘A lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.’ Tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from Fauci and his minions. RFK Jr exposes the decades of lies.”
—Luc Montagnier, Nobel laureate

“Bobby Kennedy is one of the bravest and most uncompromisingly honest people I’ve ever met. Someday he’ll get credit for it. In the meantime, read this book.”
—Tucker Carlson
 
“As a trial lawyer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken on the world’s most powerful corporations and held them accountable for harming people and the environment. Those companies denied any wrongdoing—but time and again, judges and juries were persuaded that Kennedy’s position was the right one. Kennedy’s information should always be considered, and agree or disagree, we all learn from listening.”
—Tony Robbins, New York Times bestselling author
 
“If you have any interest in doing a deep dive into the more than 100-year history of what led up to the COVID-19 pandemic, then The Real Anthony Fauci is an absolute must-read. In addition to exposing Fauci, the book reveals the complex web of connections between Gates and Big Pharma and many of the most important players that were responsible for seeking to implement global tyranny and profit enormously from the propaganda behind the COVID injections, masks, and lockdowns.”
—Dr. Joseph Mercola, founder of Mercola.com
 
“Bobby Kennedy’s book on The Real Anthony Fauci speaks truth in times when health care becomes health harm, untruth rules through anti-science and fake news.”
—Dr. Vandana Shiva, director of Navdanya and author of Oneness vs. the 1%

Thanks to the consistently dysfunctional COVID-19 response by Fauci and USG/HHS (US Government Health and Human Services Department), we have all become familiar with the terms “regulatory capture” and “Noble Lie.” The personal opinion and bias of Dr. Fauci has been repeatedly substituted for evidence-based medicine, and we are all living with the consequences. But beyond this mundane incompetence, what this book clearly documents are the deeper forces and systemic, pervasive governmental corruption, which have led us to this point. Not since the reign of former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, have we seen such empire building by a corrupt, longstanding federal employee who is long past retirement age.
—Robert W. Malone, MD, virologist, immunologist, molecular biologist

“Standing as a pivotal work for the history of science and medicine, this book unveils the astonishing, twisted truth about a man (Fauci) and a corrupt institution (NIH) that have betrayed humanity at every turn in order to achieve profits and power. If the American people knew the truth that’s documented here, they would be marching by the millions, demanding criminal prosecutions of all those who are complicit in these outrageous betrayals of humanity. RFK Jr’s book closes the loop on one of the most disastrous and truly evil schemes in the history of medicine and science. If humanity does not now demand investigations and prosecutions across this vast landscape of science fraud and pathological ‘authority,’ we are truly beyond hope.”
—Mike Adams, a.k.a. the “Health Ranger,” founder of NaturalNews.com

“If you’ve ever wondered why so many good scientists and doctors have been silenced for discoveries that don’t fit the mainstream Big Pharma narrative, look no further than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tour de force exposé of Anthony Fauci. This book reads like a John Grisham legal thriller. Except that it is not fiction. Read it with your eyes wide open. It’s time the world woke up to the truth.” 
—Christiane Northrup, MD, former assistant clinical professor of Ob/Gyn, University of Vermont College of Medicine; New York Times bestselling author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom

“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” 
—Mahin Khatami, PhD

“Kennedy’s book proves beyond a shadow of doubt what many Americans have come to learn about Fauci: that he has stifled open debate to the point of utter stagnation of biomedical science. Fauci issues knowledge by decree.
—James Lyons-Weiler, biomedical research scientist

“RFK Jr.’s story of Fauci’s failure as the government’s AIDS coordinator is a highly disturbing prologue to his COVID mandate as head of NIAID. So, who is Dr. Fauci in the end? Has American medicine truly become a ‘racket,’ as corrupt as a mafia organization? Does everything in our country turn on the size of the money involved? How can we begin to solve this? The Real Anthony Fauci is a fascinating starting point. RFK Jr. has written a strong, strong book.” 
—Oliver Stone, award-winning director, producer, and screenwriter

“As I read Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s book I thought a discreet and thorough criminal investigation into Fauci should occur. Having observed Fauci’s flip-flops on his statements on the COVID pandemic, coupled with the book’s descriptions by former coworkers as ‘neither a competent manager . . . nor skilled or devoted scientist . . . with a domineering nature toward subordinates and rivals that discouraged dissent, a foundation for an investigation exists. The conduct cited, involving the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices approval of a vaccine and how Fauci and his Pharma partners use their PIs to control the key FDA and CDC panels that license and ‘recommend’ new vaccines, is a red flag that warrants this investigation.
—Mike Campi, former FBI agent and retired coordinator of the Organized Crime branch of the New York Division

This essential book reveals—at last!—that Dr. Fauci is, on the one hand, a severely twisted person, in his fiendish cunning, vindictiveness, and ruthlessness, a covert blend of Stalin and Iago; and yet, far more importantly, the story of Dr. Fauci’s rise and reign is really all about the absolute corruption of our major institutions—government, medicine, academia, and (above all) the press—by Big Pharma (and the Gates Foundation).
—Mark Crispin Miller, professor of media studies at New York University; editor, News from Underground

“RFK Jr is a tireless champion of Americans’ rights to be informed about their medical choices and has been way out front in warning us of the dangers of an out-of-control pharmaceutical industry. In his new book, The Real Anthony Fauci, he turns the same relentless insider scrutiny on an out-of-control bureaucracy.”
—Naomi Wolf, bestselling author of The Beauty Myth, Give Me Liberty, and Outrages

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has written the Rosetta Stone that will help the public finally understand the machinations of Dr. Anthony Fauci, and how he has acted as the puppet master of science for the last half-century—pulling the strings of public health and Big Pharma influence and causing both sides of the political aisle to dance to his tune. A must-read to understand the fake news about medicine and therapies, bought and paid for by corporations with billions of dollars at stake.”
—Kent Heckenlively, attorney, science teacher, and New York Times bestselling author

“Throughout history, fear has been used to manipulate and control populations.
—Gavin de Becker, bestselling author of The Gift of Fear

“If you want to understand the role Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, Big Pharma, the CDC, WHO, intelligence agencies and others played in planning, launching, and profiting from the COVID pandemic, drop what you’re doing and read this powerful and meticulously researched book! Your future, your family’s future, and the future of our democracy are at stake.”
—Ralph Pezzullo, bestselling author of Jawbreaker, Zero Footprint and other books

“At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, a leader rose to the stage, and his soft voice and welcoming smile drew us in, and we trusted him emphatically. After reading Bobby Kennedy’s earth-shattering book, The Real Anthony Fauci, it is clear that our trusted COVID leader shouldn’t be on a pedestal and should instead be on trial. This book is a must-read for anyone wondering why the United States of America refused to mandate wellness and instead pushed a problematic vaccine.”
—Rachael Ross, MD, PhD

2023-02-28 Battenfeld: Origins of COVID the Latest ‘Conspiracy Theory’ Proved Right Whether it’s the effectiveness of masks, vaccine mandates or lockdowns, new evidence suggests that what once were viewed as “debunked” theories and banned on Facebook are now grounded in reality. This week, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times both reported the news that the Energy Department changed its belief about the origins of the virus, which previously was attributed to spreading by bats at live markets in Wuhan. Now the government agency — agreeing with a conclusion by the FBI — lays the blame on researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, although it says it has only “low confidence” in the conclusion. But it was enough to start a fierce debate over censorship in social media and the erosion of trust in the U.S. government, the CDC, the Biden administration and big Pharma.

There’s no doubt that COVID-19 cost hundreds of thousands of lives. But three years after the government instituted lockdowns and vaccine mandates, there are now serious questions about whether those even worked. The new doubts about COVID measures could even seep into the 2024 presidential race where Donald Trump and Joe Biden could face off again. Another new study from Stanford University also revealed that the lockdown and closure of schools brought more severe mental health problems like anxiety and depression to kids deprived of a proper in-person education. Teenagers’ brains actually aged faster from going through the stress of COVID-19 lockdowns, the study reported. https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/02/28/battenfeld-origins-of-covid-the-latest-conspiracy-theory-proved-right/

2023-02-28 China’s CCP Warns Elon Musk Against Sharing Wuhan Lab Leak Report CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reported Tuesday morning on the warning from the social media pages of the Global Times, the English-language subsidiary of the CCP-controlled People’s Daily. The Global Times warned Musk that he could be “breaking the pot of China” after the Tesla and Twitter CEO responded to tweets that asserted that the COVID pandemic originated in a Wuhan research laboratory. The saying is akin to the idiom “to bite the hand that feeds you,” Yoon reported. Tesla has an expansive factory campus in Shanghai, and China is the electric vehicle manufacturer’s second-largest market. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/28/chinas-ccp-warns-elon-musk-against-sharing-wuhan-lab-leak-report.html

2023-02-28 Final State Emergencies Winding Down 3 Years Into Pandemic California’s coronavirus emergency officially ends Tuesday, nearly three years after Gov. Gavin Newsom issued the nation’s first statewide stay-at-home order and just days after the state reached the grim milestone of 100,000 deaths related to the virus. As California’s emergency winds down, such declarations continue in just five other states — including Texas and Illinois — signaling an end to the expanded legal powers of governors to suspend laws in response to the once mysterious disease. President Joe Biden announced last month the federal government will end its own version May 11. https://apnews.com/article/biden-gavin-newsom-california-texas-illinois-f2bbcd1c380169f8a17b0a718b67df7d

2023-02-28 Woody Harrelson Slams COVID Protocols During SNL Monologue, Hypnotized Audience Misses the Joke In the course of an otherwise unmeaningful monologue on Saturday Night Live, Woody Harrelson let go with a remarkable theory of the COVID-19 era. t was supposed to be hilarious but why should it be? In a world in which people were long over this, all the investigations have been done and the condemnations issued, and masses of people are fully cognizant of the underlying reality and all its horrors, his flippant remarks would have been funny. Instead, the audience sat there in stunned silence. Are they even allowed to laugh? https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/woody-harrelson-covid-snl-monologue/

2023-02-28 DOE Finds COVID Likely Emerged From Wuhan Lab, Sparks Congressional Investigation A U.S. Department of Energy report has concluded that COVID-19 emerged from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China, and the agency — along with the FBI and the U.S. Department of State — is now under the microscope of a Congressional committee investigation. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-origins-wuhan-lab-energy-department

2023-02-28 WSJ: It’s Time Health Officials ‘Concede Opponents Were Right’ — Natural Immunity Protects Against COVID A Wall Street Journal editorial board member Sunday called out the press and public health officials — who are now affirming “natural immunity” protects against COVID-19 — for spending three years disparaging natural immunity despite overwhelming evidence supporting it. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/wsj-covid-natural-immunity/

2023-02-27 10 Myths Told by COVID Experts — and Now Debunked To be clear, public health officials were not wrong for making recommendations based on what was known at the time. That’s understandable. You go with the data you have. No, they were wrong because they refused to change their directives in the face of new evidence. When a study did not support their policies, they dismissed it and censored opposing opinions.

At the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention weaponized research itself by putting out its own flawed studies in its own non-peer-reviewed medical journal, MMWR. In the final analysis, public health officials actively propagated misinformation that ruined lives and forever damaged public trust in the medical profession. What’s most amazing about all the misinformation conveyed by CDC and public health officials is that there have been no apologies for holding on to their recommendations for so long after the data became apparent that they were dead wrong. At a minimum, the CDC should come clean and the FDA should add a warning label to COVID vaccines, clearly stating what is now known. A mea culpa by those who led us astray would be the first step to rebuilding trust. https://nypost.com/2023/02/27/10-myths-told-by-covid-experts-now-debunked/

2023-02-27 Fauci Blames Attacks on China — Not China — for COVID Origins Impasse Dr. Anthony Fauci is offering a defense of Chinese officials who have repeatedly been accused of denying access to scientists working to determine the origins of COVID. Fauci, who retired from decades of government service late last year, blames Beijing’s critics, not the Chinese Communist Party, for a lack of transparency that he seems certain would show the virus came about via natural transmission, not a lab leak in Wuhan.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who is now the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said last month that Fauci’s own emails raise questions on whether Fauci concealed information about COVID originating in a lab. Fauci argues his emails show nothing of the sort. One area in which Republicans have pledged to investigate Fauci is in regard to federal funding for bat coronavirus research with ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Fauci has vociferously denied the work amounted to gain-of-function research, in which viruses are manipulated to become more dangerous.  https://www.dailywire.com/news/fauci-blames-attacks-on-china-not-china-for-covid-origins-impasse

2023-02-27 Still No Consensus on COVID’s Origins, White House Says The U.S. government still has not reached a consensus on how the coronavirus pandemic started, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Monday — despite news reports that the Energy Department has concluded the virus most likely leaked from a lab in China. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the department had reached a “low confidence” conclusion supporting the so-called lab leak theory in a classified finding shared with the White House and members of Congress. Kirby would not confirm or deny the report, saying he is “not going to get ahead” of the U.S. government’s investigation. Two Republicans leading the House’s COVID probes demanded Monday that the Energy Department, State Department and FBI provide documents related to the issue. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/27/coronavirus-pandemic-origins-white-house-00084618

2023-02-27 New Report on COVID Origin Puts Social Media in GOP’s Crosshairs An Energy Department report attributing the COVID-19 pandemic to an accidental laboratory leak is reigniting conservative criticisms of major social networks, which banned users early on from suggesting the coronavirus was man-made before reversing course months later.

Republicans are now citing the assessment as proof that tech companies like Facebook and Twitter were far too quick to remove posts questioning the origins of the pandemic under their rules against COVID-19 misinformation. As the pandemic ramped up in 2020, major social networks rolled out a series of policy changes to curb misleading claims about the virus, including theories about its roots. The new findings are also fueling fresh GOP allegations that tech companies “colluded” with the federal government to stifle viewpoints about the coronavirus pandemic. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/27/new-report-covid-19-origin-puts-social-media-gops-crosshairs/

2023-02-26 Generative AI Could Be an Authoritarian Breakthrough in Brainwashing Generative AI is poised to be the free world’s next great gift to authoritarians. The viral launch of ChatGPT — a system with eerily human-like capabilities in composing essays, poetry and computer code — has awakened the world’s dictators to the transformative power of generative AI to create unique, compelling content at scale.

But the fierce debate that has ensued among Western industry leaders on the risks of releasing advanced generative AI tools has largely missed where their effects are likely to be most pernicious: within autocracies. AI companies and the U.S. government alike must institute stricter norms for the development of tools like ChatGPT in full view of their game-changing potential for the world’s authoritarians — before it is too late. https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/3871841-generative-ai-could-be-an-authoritarian-breakthrough-in-brainwashing/

The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner

Posted on July 25, 2023 by mekorganic

The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner by Daniel Ellsberg

From the legendary whistle-blower who revealed the Pentagon Papers, an eyewitness exposé of the dangers of America’s Top Secret, seventy-year-long nuclear policy that continues to this day.

Here, for the first time, former high-level defense analyst Daniel Ellsberg reveals his shocking firsthand account of America’s nuclear program in the 1960s. From the remotest air bases in the Pacific Command, where he discovered that the authority to initiate use of nuclear weapons was widely delegated, to the secret plans for general nuclear war under Eisenhower, which, if executed, would cause the near-extinction of humanity, Ellsberg shows that the legacy of this most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization–and its proposed renewal under the Trump administration–threatens our very survival. No other insider with high-level access has written so candidly of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, and nothing has fundamentally changed since that era.

Framed as a memoir–a chronicle of madness in which Ellsberg acknowledges participating–this gripping exposé reads like a thriller and offers feasible steps we can take to dismantle the existing “doomsday machine” and avoid nuclear catastrophe, returning Ellsberg to his role as whistle-blower. The Doomsday Machine is thus a real-life Dr. Strangelove story and an ultimately hopeful–and powerfully important–book about not just our country, but the future of the world.

2023-02-24 New Studies Deliver Harsh Verdicts on Mask Mandates, Vaccine Mandates for U.S. Cities Two new studies on the effectiveness of mask mandates and city-level COVID-19 vaccine mandates concluded the policies failed to achieve their promised objectives. The study on vaccine mandates found the mandates caused economic harm.

“Shutting people out of society or denying them employment for refusing to take a medical treatment they do not want, need or trust violates all fundamental ethical principles — and local businesses and leaders who went along with these measures may suffer the consequences for many years to come.”

“They did absolutely nothing to reduce death or disease and failed to even meaningfully increase vaccine uptake. The reality is that back in the fall of 2021, when these mandates were imposed, the science already clearly showed that they were irrational. “We have to ask — since it wasn’t science, what was really driving the municipal mandates?

2023-02-21 Big Pharma’s Looming Threat: A Patent Cliff of ‘Tectonic Magnitude’ At the start of the last decade, big pharma was getting smaller. Blockbuster medicines that had fueled years of growth were losing patent protection, exposing the industry’s largest companies to generic competitors. The resulting impact was so substantial it temporarily stalled the relentless upward march of U.S. drug spending.

Today, big drugmakers are facing an even larger “patent cliff,” with more than $200 billion in annual revenue at risk through 2030. But this time around, many of the brand name drugs losing market exclusivity are biologic products, manufactured from living cells, rather than the chemical pills that previously dominated the ranks of pharma top-sellers. https://www.biopharmadive.com/news/pharma-patent-cliff-biologic-drugs-humira-keytruda/642660/

2023-02-10 ‘Tragic’: CDC Adds Original COVID mRNA Vaccine to Childhood Schedule Despite Known Harms The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday added the two-shot primary series mRNA COVID-19 vaccine to its routine immunization schedule for children and adults, formalizing the agency’s vaccine advisory committee’s unanimous recommendation made in October 2022.

“Given all that we have learned about the dangers and ineffectiveness of COVID-19 shots over the last two years, it is horrifying to see the CDC now recommend this as a routine shot to children,” “Although it is unsurprising given the agency capture, it is nonetheless tragic,” Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president and general counsel added. Thursday’s move formalized the recommendation by the agency’s vaccine advisory committee, which on Oct. 20, 2022, voted unanimously (15-0) to recommend adding COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months old to the new Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule.

All COVID-19 vaccines being administered in the U.S. to people under 18 are Emergency Use Authorized (EUA) products. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did grant full approval to Pfizer’s Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine for ages 12 and older, however, the Comirnaty vaccine is not available in the U.S. — which means all children who get the Pfizer vaccine are getting an EUA product.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) asked CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, why the CDC broke with its own norms and put an EUA vaccine on the childhood immunization schedule for a disease that poses very little risk to children and for which the vaccine poses many potential side effects without preventing transmission. According to Retsef Levi, Ph.D., with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the vaccines “cause unprecedented levels of harm, including the death of young people and children.” Multiple studies have determined that the vaccines increase the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly in young men. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/cdc-covid-mrna-vaccine-childhood-schedule/

2023-02-19 Healthcare Vaccine Mandate Remains as Some Push for an End One year after it began being enforced nationwide on Feb. 20, 2022, the vaccination requirement affecting an estimated 10 million healthcare workers is the last remaining major mandate from President Joe Biden’s sweeping attempt to boost national vaccination rates. Similar requirements for large employers, military members and federal contractors all have been struck down, repealed or partially blocked.

The healthcare vaccination mandate is scheduled to run until November 2024. But some contend it’s time to stop now, citing fewer severe COVID-19 cases, healthcare staffing shortages and the impending May 11 expiration of a national public health emergency that has been in place since January 2020. https://apnews.com/article/immunizations-health-covid-nursing-homes-f24c4b1e65ab4e74f30511ab2b6ed64d

2023-02-17 Florida Issues Health Alert: mRNA COVID Vaccines Caused ‘Substantial Increase’ in Reports of Adverse Events The CDC and the FDA jointly administer VAERS, a database that allows healthcare professionals and others to file reports about vaccine-related injuries. While VAERS reports of adverse events don’t prove causality, the CDC considers VAERS to be a key “early warning system” for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that can signal safety problems with a vaccine. VAERS reports in Florida and nationally have been made at a significantly higher rate for the COVID-19 vaccines than for all other vaccines combined. Ladapo reported that in Florida, there was a 1,700% increase in VAERS reports after the release of the COVID-19 vaccine, compared to an increase of 400% in overall vaccine administration for the same time period. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/florida-mrna-covid-vaccines-adverse-events/

2023-02-17 Court Documents Show GlaxoSmithKline Knew — for 40 Years — Zantac Could Cause Cancer Amid tens of thousands of lawsuits that are pending in state courts all across the U.S., a new report based on evidence discovered in these court cases reveals Big Pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) had, for decades, concealed evidence showing that Zantac could cause cancer.

According to Bloomberg Businessweek, GSK — then known as Glaxo — had been aware of cancer-causing risks with ranitidine, the drug which was marketed as Zantac, even before it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1983. These warnings came from independent researchers but also from Glaxo scientists.Within five years, Zantac, used to treat or relieve heartburn, acid indigestion and gastric ulcers, became the world’s best-selling medicine and was one of the first to surpass $1 billion in annual sales, according to Reuters. GSK later sold the drug to Pfizer — and Zantac was then sold to Boehringer Ingelheim and finally Sanofi. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/glaxosmithkline-zantac-cancer/

2023-02-17 DOJ to Federal Court: We Should Be Sued — Not Moderna — for Patent Infringement The U.S. government — and not COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna — should face a patent infringement lawsuit currently pending against the company, U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers told the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in documents submitted to the court Tuesday, Reuters reported. These arguments came as part of ongoing litigation in Arbutus v. Moderna, concerning a lawsuit filed against Moderna by two pharmaceutical companies — Arbutus Biopharma and Genevant, a joint venture between Arbutus and Roivant Sciences Ltd. — alleging patent infringement. The filing claims that the U.S. government is liable because Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine was developed under the auspices of “Operation Warp Speed” in 2020, reports Becker’s Hospital Review. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/moderna-covid-vaccine-patent-infringement/

2023-02-17 If AT&T Can Silence Newsmax, Who Is Next? AT&T’s recent de-platforming of Newsmax, one of America’s most influential cable news channels, should alarm everyone, including liberals. We are all at risk when censorship occurs — when one is silenced based on his or her point of view. While the channel is center-right in its political orientation, my liberal positions are welcomed without any hesitation. In my book The Case Against the New Censorship, I studied the growing movement to silence dissenting views, of which Newsmax now appears to be a victim. After Elon Musk‘s release of the “Twitter Files,” we know the FBI worked to censor private parties — a serious potential breach of constitutionally protected free speech rights. Did something similar happen when AT&T shut off OANN and Newsmax? https://www.newsweek.com/if-t-can-silence-newsmax-who-next-opinion-1781867

2023-02-17 World Government Summit: How the Merging of Humans and Technology Will Define the Next 50 Years As part of the World Government Summit (WGS) last week in Dubai, conference organizers presented the “Government in 2071” initiative — a roadmap for governments to interact with “citizens and stakeholders” in a dramatically shifting future impacted by automation, robotics and climate change.

the WGS has issued its own set of dystopian predictions for the future in its “Government in 2071: Guidebook.” The guidebook predicts that catastrophic climate change, mass migration, mass layoffs due to automation, ensuing social unrest, and the merging of humans and technology will define the next 50 years. It presents this vision as the “best-case scenario” for 2071. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/world-government-summit-humans-technology/

2023-02-17 ‘Finally’ The Lancet Acknowledges Natural Immunity Superior to mRNA COVID Vaccines Immunity acquired from past COVID-19 infection provides strong, lasting protection against severe outcomes from the illness at a level “as high if not higher” than that provided by mRNA vaccines, according to a study published Thursday in The Lancet. Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 65 studies worldwide, providing overwhelming evidence to support what many scientists, doctors and studies have said since early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The Lancet is finally acknowledging what doctors and scientists have been gaslit for saying for years — that natural immunity provides superior protection to experimental vaccines,” said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chairman and chief litigation counsel for Children’s Health Defense. “Only the tsunami of propaganda and censorship from the pharma/government biosecurity cartel and the controlled media persuaded the public that Pfizer and Moderna were better at protecting the human immune system than God and evolution,” he added. The study found that immunity acquired from infection was often far more robust and consistently waned more slowly than the immunity from two doses of an mRNA vaccine. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-infection-natural-immunity-superior/

2023-02-16 CHD Sues CDC to Obtain Documents on COVID Vaccine Injuries and Deaths Reported in VAERS The CDC admitted it gave false information about COVID-19 vaccine surveillance, including inaccurately saying it had conducted a certain type of analysis more than a year before it actually did. Yet, given its conflicting statements, what surveillance analysis the CDC actually did, and when it did it, remains unclear. Access to this information would reveal when the CDC knew about safety signals related to the COVID-19 vaccine.

CDC anticipated spike in VAERS reports with COVID vaccine. Despite the fact that health officials and scientific journals have downplayed or dismissed the importance of VAERS during the pandemic, the CDC states in the SOP that it is a key “front-line system to monitor the safety of vaccines licensed for use in the United States.” A FOIA request revealed, in late August 2020, that the CDC contracted with General Dynamics to handle VAERS reports for COVID-19 vaccines. The contract anticipated up to 1,000 reports per day, with up to 40% of them serious in nature. “This means that months before the EUA [emergency use authorization] of any COVID vaccines, the CDC anticipated up to a 600% increase over the average annual number of VAERS reports in recent years with 8 times the rate of serious reports,” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/chd-lawsuit-cdc-covid-vaccine-vaers/

2023-02-16 Pfizer, Targeting a Younger Demographic, Enlists yet Another Celeb for Its Latest COVID Vaccine Ad Pfizer has enlisted yet another celebrity to push its flagging COVID-19 vaccine franchise. After targeting seniors with its Martha Stewart wields a samurai sword spot, the Big Pharma has swung to the opposite end of the age spectrum with an ad featuring a singer who first made their name on YouTube. In the 30-second ad, Charlie Puth, a 31-year-old singer with 21 million TikTok followers, steps out of a car wearing sunglasses, at night and walks into a music venue flanked by a security guard. Once on the stage, Puth, now sans sunglasses and sitting behind a keyboard, says “out on tour, I got to help protect myself.”

The Big Pharma is pushing its vaccine to young and old alike to soften the anticipated slump in Comirnaty sales. Management expects the COVID-19 vaccine to bring in $13.5 billion this year, well down on the $36 billion-plus that it generated in 2021 and 2022. With the U.S. switching to a commercial model for COVID-19 vaccines, branding and promotion could become increasingly important for Comirnaty. https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/pfizer-targeting-younger-demographic-enlists-yet-another-celeb-its-latest-covid-vaccine

2023-02-16 EU Countries Agree to Scrap COVID Tests for Travelers From China EU countries have agreed to phase out two of the recommended travel-related measures agreed upon in the wake of China’s scrapping of its zero-COVID policy, the Swedish Presidency said in a statement on Thursday. Countries agreed to lift the requirement for a negative pre-departure COVID-19 test for people traveling to the EU from China by the end of February and put an end to randomly testing travelers arriving from China by mid-March. https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-countries-agree-to-scrap-covid-tests-for-travelers-from-china/

2023-02-16 U.S. Navy Will No Longer Require COVID Vaccines for Deployment The U.S. Navy is rolling back requirements for COVID-19 vaccines, axing the consideration of vaccination status when making decisions about the deployment of sailors. The decision by the Navy reverses a policy that was in place for more than a year, mandating that vaccination status be considered when determining deployment. Congress nixed the military’s vaccination requirements as part of the annual National Defense Authorization Act at the end of 2022. The new guidelines did not offer directives on how to handle personnel that were separated from the Navy because of their vaccination status when the mandate was still in place. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/3862543-us-navy-will-no-longer-require-covid-vaccines-for-deployment/

2023-02-16 N.Y. Court System Nixes COVID Vaccine Mandate for Employees The New York state court system has withdrawn a requirement that judges and employees receive COVID-19 vaccines, according to a filing made on Thursday in a judge’s lawsuit claiming he should have been granted a religious exemption. The court system last April fired 103 employees who did not comply with the vaccine requirement and required Mora and three other judges to work remotely. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/ny-court-system-nixes-covid-vaccine-mandate-employees-2023-02-16/

2023-02-16 These Staggering Statistics and Charts Reveal How Deeply Troubled Our Teen Girls Really Are A new report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uncovered extremely high levels of depression, suicidal thoughts, substance use and violence experienced by teen girls — and even higher levels for kids who identify as “LGBQ+.” The report, which comprises data collected from the fall of 2021, is our first glimpse of the CDC Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance findings since the start of COVID lockdowns. Though these numbers were already on a troubling trend prior to lockdowns, it appears the lockdowns and other factors (we’ll get into later) kicked the crisis into high gear. Nearly 3 in 5 high school girls surveyed — or a shocking 57% — reported feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness, which is a 60% increase over the past decade. https://www.dailywire.com/news/these-staggering-statistics-and-charts-reveal-how-deeply-troubled-our-teen-girls-really-are

2023-02-16 The Haunting Brain Science of Long COVID An MRI study from George Washington University of people who’d had mild COVID-19 symptoms several months earlier found much less gray matter in their brains than they should have had. This ominous finding complements a large controlled study conducted as part of the U.K. Biobank showing that, as compared to people who had never tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, a loss of actual brain tissue was seen in the olfactory cortex and limbic system — think impaired smell, emotions and memory formation — among people with long COVID. It’s as if the bridges (white matter) linking different territories of the brain have been blown up and the land itself (nerves in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus) become scorched, leaving people with long COVID plagued by thinking and memory deficits. https://www.statnews.com/2023/02/16/the-haunting-brain-science-of-long-covid/

2023-02-16 Musk vs. Schwab at World Government Summit — Two Competing Visions for the Future Billionaire Elon Musk and World Economic Forum (WEF) Chairman Klaus Schwab faced off this week, presenting competing visions for the future at this year’s World Government Summit — a WEF-like meeting dedicated to shaping the future of government worldwide.

Musk addressed the ongoing rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the dangers of a one-world government, speaking by video to the WGS on Wednesday. “One of the biggest risks to the future of civilization is AI,” Musk told WGS attendees. “But AI is both positive or negative — it has great promise, great capability but also, with that comes great danger.”

Perhaps confirming Musk’s fears, in his keynote speech to the WGS, Schwab said mastering technologies such as AI can help global elite “be the master of the world.” Schwab heralded AI’s role in helping bring about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, saying: “Artificial intelligence, but not only artificial intelligence, but also the metaverse, neospace technologies, and I could go on and on … synthetic biology. Our life in ten years from now will be completely different, very much affected. And who masters those technologies, in some way, will be the master of the world.” Like Musk he expressed some concerns, but his “deep concern” was that new technologies such as AI might “escape” the control of the global elite. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/elon-musk-klaus-schwab-world-government-summit/

2023-02-15 GT Investigates: Big Pharma Greed, Lobbying, Failed Governance and Economic Woes Lead to U.S. Drug Crisis America’s drug abuse problem — a long-existing thorn in the side of U.S. society — has grown more serious in recent years in the country along with an increasing number of young people turning to drugs due to dwindling economic opportunities and the apparent death of the so-called “American Dream,” analysts said.

The drug problem in the U.S. is caused by an interplay among economic interests, lobby groups, as well as social and cultural factors, an expert in international relations at Fudan University told the Global Times. While the U.S. federal and state governments keep making pledges to tackle the drug problem, they have failed to take substantive measures due to the lobbying activities of various interest groups, observers said.

Reports showed that large pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. devote large sums of money to peddle narratives such as “opioids are harmless” and push forward drug legalization as well as the promotion of drug sales and prescription of drugs. The lawmakers who receive money from them actively promote bills that benefit Big Pharma.

The city Department of Education put a special “code” indicating wrongdoing in the files of the terminated workers, most of whom declined to get the vaccine because of religious beliefs, said their lawyer, John Bursch. “Loosely speaking, it is like a scarlet letter,” Bursch told The Post on Tuesday. “The employee’s personnel file shows a [generic] problem code that could just as easily be [for] committing a crime as declining to take a vaccine for religious reasons. In some instances, when plaintiffs tried to obtain employment elsewhere, they were told that they were red-flagged because of the problem code.” https://nypost.com/2023/02/14/nyc-teachers-who-refused-covid-vaccine-slapped-with-scarlet-letter-in-personnel-files-lawyer/

2023-02-13 House GOP Demands Info From Fauci, Other Officials on COVID Origins House Republicans are officially relaunching their investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic by calling for testimony and information from Anthony Fauci and other current and former Biden administration officials. The 12-member coronavirus response subcommittee is charged with examining the origins of the pandemic, including federal funding of what’s known as gain-of-function research, or research that enhances a virus’s ability to cause an infection in order to predict pandemics and develop cures.

The examination of gain-of-function research is central to the claim the virus originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, potentially backed by funding from the U.S. government. Last year, Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee released a report concluding the pandemic began with a virus that escaped from the Wuhan lab. Aside from Fauci’s testimony, the lawmakers are seeking phone records, official calendars and other communications from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) regarding the Wuhan Institute of Virology and any federal grants to EcoHealth Alliance. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/3856317-house-gop-demands-info-from-fauci-other-officials-on-covid-19-origins/

2023-02-13 U.S. Government to Buy 1.5 Million More Novavax COVID Vaccine Doses The U.S. government has agreed to buy 1.5 million more doses of Novavax Inc.(NVAX.O) COVID-19 vaccine, the company said on Monday, adding that the modified agreement includes funds for the development of an updated vaccine by fall this year. Sales of the company’s vaccine have been hurt by a global supply glut and waning demand, with Novavax cutting its full-year revenue forecast for the shots twice last year. The protein-based vaccine was expected to convince those skeptical of the new mRNA-based vaccines against the virus from rivals such as Pfizer Inc. (PFE.N) and Moderna (MRNA.O). https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-government-buy-15-mln-more-novavax-covid-vaccine-doses-2023-02-13/

2023-02-13 Pandemic Youth Mental Health Toll Unprecedented, Data Show The pandemic took a harsh toll on U.S. teen girls’ mental health, with almost 60% reporting feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness, according to a government survey released Monday that bolsters earlier data.

Sexual violence, suicidal thoughts, suicidal behavior and other mental health woes affected many teens regardless of race or ethnicity, but girls and LGBTQ youth fared the worst on most measures, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. More than 17,000 U.S. high school students were surveyed in class in the fall of 2021. In 30 years of collecting similar data, “we’ve never seen this kind of devastating, consistent findings,” said Kathleen Ethier, director of CDC’s adolescent and school health division. “There’s no question young people are telling us they are in crisis. The data really call on us to act.” https://apnews.com/article/education-health-pandemics-teens-cd01cd672539d6a3dbada46bfa47203a

2023-02-12 NYC Mayor Says COVID Mandates May Need to Return, Blasts People Who Say ‘I Want to Do Whatever I Want’ New York City Mayor Eric Adams, during an interview with Caribbean Power Jam Radio’s “The Reset Show,” defended the rescinding of a COVID vaccine mandate for city workers and that there may be a time when mandates will be in place again. Adams defended his decision to rescind the vaccine mandate because COVID was becoming normalized, adding that when employees said, “I want to do whatever I want,” it was not right.

Adams announced on Feb. 6 that the city would make COVID vaccines optional for current and prospective city workers, effective Feb. 10. The announcement came as more than 96% of city workers were fully vaccinated against coronavirus. Despite the reversal, the approximately 1,780 former city workers who were terminated for not complying with the COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the past will not automatically get their jobs back but can reapply for positions in their former agencies. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nyc-mayor-covid-mandates-return-blasts-people-i-want-do-whatever-i-want

2023-02-12 CT Supreme Court Case to Test Limits of Hospital Immunity Cheryl Mills, a Colchester resident with a serious heart condition, had been in Hartford Hospital for five days when she died on the bathroom floor of her room in March 2020. For four days, the 63-year-old had been waiting for the result of a COVID test so she could be cleared to enter the hospital’s special cardiac treatment area. The negative test result came through at 7:40 p.m. on March 24.

Her estate sued the hospital, but an executive order issued by Gov. Ned Lamont at the beginning of the pandemic granted hospitals and nursing homes legal immunity as they worked through the early days of the COVID pandemic. Now, the circumstances of Mills’ case have become the center of a state Supreme Court legal battle over how far that immunity can be extended, and other cases involving Connecticut nursing homes could be affected by the outcome. https://ctmirror.org/2023/02/12/ct-supreme-court-lawsuit-hospital-immunity-wrongful-death-hartford-health/

2023-02-11 Minnesotans Claiming COVID Vaccine Injuries Are Left in Limbo The end of the COVID-19 emergency response in the United States might be a milestone this spring, but for St. Paul’s Suzanna Newell, it will feel like the nation is moving on without her. The 51-year-old mother and former bank executive believes a COVID vaccine reaction caused her disabling health problems, which have sent her across the country in search of treatments. She filed a claim with a federal program that compensates people for rare vaccine-related injuries, but that was 11 months ago.

Newell isn’t alone in her struggle to establish a vaccine connection to her disabilities and receive help with a mountain of medical bills. She learned that as volunteer treasurer of React19, an organization that has raised $700,000 to treat vaccine-related injuries. “The sad reality is if something goes wrong, there is no safety net for you,” said Brianne Dressen, a former Utah school teacher who co-founded React19 and suffered health problems after her COVID vaccination in a clinical trial.

The federal Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) has received 11,196 claims related to COVID, including 8,447 related to vaccines. Only 543 have been resolved. No payouts have been made, though 19 claims have been declared eligible. https://www.startribune.com/minnesotans-claiming-covid-19-vaccine-injuries-are-left-in-limbo/600250940/

2023-02-10 Australian Researchers Find Protein in Lung That Blocks COVID Infection Australian scientists announced Friday they’ve discovered a protein in the lung that sticks to the COVID-19 virus-like Velcro and forms a natural protective barrier in a person’s body to block infection.

Why it matters: The study, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Friday, “opens up an entirely new area of immunology research” around this receptor protein, LRRC15, and “offers a promising pathway to develop new drugs to prevent viral infection from coronaviruses like COVID-19 or deal with fibrosis in the lungs,” per a statement from the University of Sydney announcing their findings. It could also help explain why some people who contract COVID experience serious illness, while others never get sick.

What they found: The researchers discovered that LRRC15 binds to the virus. The bottom line: “For me, as an immunologist, the fact that there’s this natural immune receptor that we didn’t know about, that’s lining our lungs and blocks and controls virus, that’s crazy interesting,” Neely said. https://www.axios.com/2023/02/10/australian-study-receptor-blocks-covid-infection

2023-02-10 Most Young People Aren’t Getting Latest COVID Booster, but They’re Not Filling Hospital Beds at Three Large Healthcare Systems As the U.S. mulls over its future COVID-19 vaccination plan, data from three large healthcare systems indicate that even though a small percentage of people under age 65 have gotten the new COVID-19 booster, people this age are not becoming severely ill and overwhelming hospitals. “Even if they’re not getting boosted, young, healthy people are not getting super sick from this,” said Dr. Mangala Narasimhan, a senior vice president at Northwell Health, the largest healthcare provider in New York state. “We’re not seeing it. It’s not happening.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has proposed a framework for annual COVID vaccinations for all Americans over the age of 6 months, but at a meeting with its vaccine advisers last month, it did not come up with a concrete plan. Vaccine advisers to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are scheduled to meet on February 24 to discuss the future of the U.S. COVID-19 vaccination program.

At Montefiore Medical Center, about 300 patients under age 65 were hospitalized for COVID-19. Among those, 32% were unvaccinated, 10% were partially vaccinated, and 58% were fully vaccinated; 82% also had underlying conditions, according to Dr. Inessa Gendlina, an infectious disease expert and assistant professor at Einstein Montefiore Department of Medicine. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/10/health/bivalent-covid-vaccine-younger-people/index.html

2023-02-09 U.S. Investigating Elon Musk’s Neuralink Over Hazardous Pathogens The U.S. Department of Transportation said on Thursday it is investigating Elon Musk‘s brain-implant company Neuralink over the potentially illegal movement of hazardous pathogens. A Department of Transportation spokesperson told Reuters about the probe after the Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine (PCRM), an animal-welfare advocacy group, wrote to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg earlier on Thursday to alert it of records it obtained on the matter.

PCRM said it obtained emails and other documents that suggest unsafe packaging and movement of implants removed from the brains of monkeys. These implants may have carried infectious diseases in violation of federal law, PCRM said. “We are conducting an investigation to ensure that Neuralink is in full compliance with federal regulations and keeping their workers and the public safe from potentially dangerous pathogens,” the spokesperson said. https://www.reuters.com/technology/elon-musks-neuralink-may-have-illegally-transported-pathogens-animal-advocates-2023-02-09/

When Oprah Winfrey’s bombshell interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aired in March 2021, the British tuned in, and many were gobsmacked at the number of drug commercials they saw. “American medical adverts are some real dystopian shit how you gonna tell me I might die,” one person tweeted. “American healthcare truly is a business,” remarked another.

2023-02-09 ‘Severely Damaged’ and Abandoned: Australian Victims of COVID Vaccine Injuries Feel They Are ‘Not Being Heard’ by Australian Government Thousands of Australians suffering from COVID-19 vaccine injury feel they are “not being heard” or treated fairly by the government. Veteran Liberal MP Russell Broadbent has taken up the case of the thousands of Australians who have experienced an adverse reaction after getting the COVID-19 jab. He’s met with a number of vaccine injury victims in person, in the hopes he can encourage a better response from the government. “Every one of these vaccine injuries was in strong, healthy, well men and women before they took the vaccine,” Mr. Broadbent said.

Former AMA president Kerryn Phelps is one of many Australians speaking out about vaccine injury in an attempt to ignite a conversation about the vaccine program and response. Dr. Phelps penned a lengthy submission to a parliamentary inquiry into long COVID last year, revealing she and her wife had both been injured after receiving Pfizer jabs. Launched in December 2021 by the previous government, the COVID-19 vaccine claims system was designed to compensate Australians who had suffered a “moderate to severe impact” following inoculation. Since the compensation scheme was established there have been more than 3,200 claims with only 3% or just 109 being approved. More than 2,480 are still under review while 383 have been refused and 232 have withdrawn. https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/severely-damaged-and-abandoned-australian-victims-of-covid19-vaccine-injuries-feel-they-are-not-being-heard-by-australian-government/news-story/d8a5dd7972394c43d40426f020daa4d9

Kailani Taylor-Cribb hasn’t taken a single class in what used to be her high school since the height of the coronavirus pandemic. She is among hundreds of thousands of students around the country who disappeared from public schools during the pandemic and didn’t resume their studies elsewhere.

An analysis by The Associated Press, Stanford University’s Big Local News project and Stanford education professor Thomas Dee found an estimated 240,000 students in 21 states whose absences could not be accounted for. These students didn’t move out of state, and they didn’t sign up for private school or home-school, according to publicly available data. In short, they’re missing. The missing kids identified by AP and Stanford represent far more than a number. The analysis highlights thousands of students who may have dropped out of school or missed out on the basics of reading and school routines in kindergarten and first grade. https://apnews.com/article/us-news-ap-top-news-distance-learning-health-lifestyle-b6c9017f603c00466b9e9908c5f2183a

2023-02-09 ‘People Should Be Made Aware of Link Between COVID Jab and Heart Problems’  “I do think there is some sort of link between heart problems and the jab,” Sarah told the podcast. Sarah said in some cases mRNA vaccines are believed to have caused an issue called “molecular mimicry.” “When you get a jab, sometimes the body basically mistakes the protein,” she said. “It’s trying to fight proteins in the heart or peptides in the heart … It basically causes autoimmunity and starts battling you rather than the virus.” Sarah warns there is an “observational link that shows there’s an increase in heart problems, particularly after the mRNA jabs. People should be aware of it and they should be told about it so they can make up their own minds.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2023/02/09/planet-normal-people-should-made-aware-link-covid-jab-heart/

2023-02-08 Big Changes Are Coming to U.S. Healthcare as Pandemic Emergencies Expire Americans received unprecedented access to healthcare during the pandemic, including hassle-free public insurance and free tests, treatments and vaccines for COVID-19. Now, they need to prepare for most of that to unwind, experts say. The change most Americans will notice is an end to free COVID care, starting with testing, experts said. Depending on their insurance status, people will have to pay some or part of the cost of both at-home tests as well as the more comprehensive and accurate COVID tests conducted at doctors’ offices and hospitals. Eventually, people will also have to start forking over money for COVID vaccines and treatments like Paxlovid. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-02-08/big-changes-are-coming-to-u-s-health-care-as-pandemic-emergencies-expire

2023-02-08 Nancy Mace Reveals Health Problems After COVID Jab While Criticizing Twitter Censorship Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said she experienced health complications from a COVID vaccine during a Wednesday hearing about alleged Twitter censorship. The social media giant stifled the voices of medical experts who raised doubts about the prevailing narrative of the pandemic, Mace argued as she shared details about her own health.

In particular, 45-year-old Mace said she suffered side effects from a COVID vaccine jab, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has encouraged people to get to protect themselves from severe illness. Mace said she developed asthma, tremors in her left hand and occasional heart problems that doctors cannot explain. ​​“I find it extremely alarming Twitter’s unfettered censorship spread into medical fields and affected millions of Americans by suppressing expert opinions from doctors and censoring those who disagree with the CDC,” Mace said. https://www.dailywire.com/news/nancy-mace-reveals-health-problems-after-covid-jab-while-criticizing-twitter-censorship

The vote was 227 to 201 with seven Democrats joining Republicans. No Republicans voted against the bill. The U.S. Travel Association said “the need for this requirement has long since passed, and we appreciate the bipartisan action by the U.S. House to end this outdated policy … The U.S. is the only country that has maintained this policy.” https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-votes-end-foreign-air-traveler-covid-vaccine-requirement-2023-02-08/

2023-02-08 Australia to Expand Rollout of Fifth COVID Vaccine Shot Australia will roll out a fifth dose of COVID-19 vaccine later this month to all citizens aged 18 and above who have not contracted coronavirus or been vaccinated in the past six months, Health Minister Mark Butler said on Wednesday. The decision expands eligibility for the booster shot to include about 14 million people, more than half the country’s population, who will be offered Omicron variant-specific vaccines from Feb. 20, Butler said. Only severely immuno-compromised people had been recommended to take a fifth dose until now, the advice being to receive the booster three months after their fourth shot. But there has been a slow uptake of booster shots, with official data showing around 72% having had a third dose and only 44% their fourth one. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/australia-expand-rollout-fifth-covid-vaccine-shot-2023-02-08/

2023-02-08 House Republicans Take Their First Swat at Biden’s COVID Response Congressional Republicans took their first crack at Biden administration officials over their response to the COVID pandemic during a hearing Wednesday as part of a wider push to use their new power in Washington to probe everything from the actions of the FBI to the business dealings of the president’s son. The hearing is expected to be the first of many by House Republicans around the pandemic response as well as the origins of the COVID virus. A separate committee also plans to investigate how hundreds of billions of dollars in COVID relief funds were lost to fraud during both the Trump and Biden administrations.

The committee members questioned Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky, Food and Drug Administration commissioner Robert Califf and Lawrence A. Tabak, the senior official performing the duties of the director of the National Institutes of Health.

Members are also pursuing investigations into the origins of the virus. A letter sent to the National Institutes of Health earlier this month asked for a range of documents related to the monitoring of biosafety and research practices at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where Republicans have speculated the virus may originate. Rep. Morgan Griffith, R-Va., accused the NIH of stonewalling Congress in its efforts to uncover the origins of the virus during the hearing Wednesday. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-republicans-take-first-swat-bidens-covid-response-rcna69706

2023-02-07 Suppressing Debate on COVID Policies Leads to Mistrust in Public Health Think about what may have happened if an American scientist or official had given the same advice publicly. Hearing those recommendations, our medical influencers might have gone nuclear. A high public official in totalitarian China basically said things that conceivably could get a U.S. speaker censored or canceled by the American scientific establishment.

It is discouraging to witness the extreme tactics the medical community has used to keep its members in line during the pandemic. Public intimidation, harassment, personal attacks, retraction of scientific papers after publication and career sabotage have been carried out with an eye toward bringing any dissenters in line, making sure they self-censor and refrain from expressing their views on controversial subjects such as the origin of COVID-19. Reader beware: It’s as much what you don’t read as what you do. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bb-suppressing-debate-covid-policies-mistrust-public-health/

2023-02-07 Would a ‘Climate Emergency’ Open the Same Door to Authoritarian Governance as the ‘COVID Emergency?’ There are better ways to address climate change than insisting federal lawmakers declare a national “climate emergency” — including building a left-right coalition that can work together to build resilience to the environmental challenges of the 21st century while preserving democracy, civil liberties and human rights. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/climate-emergency-authoritarian-governance-covid/?

2023-02-06 Lawyers for U.S., Navy Seals battle over revoked Covid-19 vaccine mandate A lawyer representing Navy Seals who do not want to be vaccinated against COVID-19 told a federal appeals court Monday that their lawsuit over a now-withdrawn vaccine mandate isn’t moot even though Congress passed legislation last December ordering the policy canceled. During arguments before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, attorney Heather Hacker said the service members still face the possibility of discipline over their refusal to get vaccinated and the government has not ruled out taking vaccination status into account when doling out future assignments.

Even though the mandate has been repealed, the Navy will continue to use vaccination status as a requirement for the class members to be able to fulfill their job duties,” Hacker said during the 40-minute argument. “It’s even worse now because the Navy will not even consider the plaintiffs’ requests for religious accommodation anymore.” The appeals court issued no immediate rulings on Monday. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/06/navy-seals-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-00081437

2023-02-06 Presidents Gain Too Much Power When Emergencies Like COVID Hit President Biden’s decision on Jan. 30 to formally end the COVID-19 national emergency this spring, unilaterally relinquishing exceptional powers the executive branch has claimed for three years, is a milestone worth celebrating. The time has come — indeed, the time is overdue — to go back to the regular order of implementing sweeping new programs and policies. That requires, with what should be rare exceptions, agreement of the executive and legislative branches.

The administration has dubiously used the continuing “emergency” to engineer roughly $400 billion in student loan forgiveness by executive fiat, even four months after Mr. Biden himself said on “60 Minutes” that the pandemic was “over.” The Supreme Court previously stopped the White House from using the emergency declaration to put a moratorium on evictions and to mandate that large employers require their workers to be vaccinated.
