mRNA In Breastmilk by IGOR CHUDOV
A new scientific study published in the Lancet Discovery Science on Sep 19 analyzed breast milk and found COVID vaccine mRNA present in the milk of 10 mothers out of 13 breastfeeding women analyzed.
lab analysis showed that mRNA Covid vaccine was expressed in extracellular vesicles (exosomes) in 10 of 13 vaccinated women’s breast milk.
the scientists explain how Covid vaccine makes it from the blood into the milk. They explain that mRNA travels in the bloodstream of the mothers.
So, we have
A complete refutation of the “vaccine stays in the arm” trope
Scientific proof of the presence of mRNA nanoparticles contaminating the breast milk of vaccinated mothers
Scientific explanation of the mechanism of how the breast milk’s COVID vaccine exosomes could reach the intestines of the baby and become biologically active.
FDA & “Minimal Risk” by ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS
US Government officials have repeatedly refused to provide required full informed consent for either the experimental use authorized “vaccine” products or for those participating in the clinical research and development phase of these products. One hypothesis for why this has been the case relates to the above absolution clause buried in the “21st Century “Cures” act”. If this is indeed the case, then it would seem that the FDA, CDC, DoD etc. would have a strong interest in defending the position that the "genetic vaccines” pose minimal risk to human beings. Perhaps that is why there is a pattern of chronic denialism of what are clearly significant adverse events such as myopericarditis?
“Except where it is not feasible, it is contrary to the best interests of such human beings, or the proposed clinical testing poses no more than minimal risk to such human beings and includes appropriate safeguards as prescribed to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of such human beings”
How does the FDA define minimal risk?
Minimal risk means that the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the research are not greater in and of themselves than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests.
Vax-Related Incapacity by EUGYPPIUS
cohort study, conducted out of Würzburg to monitor the effects of Covid infection and vaccination on healthcare workers.
“…vaccine-related incapacity could overwhelm public healthcare and must be addressed as part of this important prevention strategy.”
Across all three doses and all 1,704 participants, the jabs resulted in a total of 1,550 sick days.
The authors conclude that “COVID-19 vaccination has a non-negligible impact on the staff availability in the health sector” and that it is likely the enhanced immune response to each subsequent jab that is responsible for the escalating symptoms.
New World Order Impediments by LEO HOHMANN
Globalists love to talk about national sovereignty like it’s sacrosanct whenever it furthers their overarching agenda of pushing the nations into their one-world system. Truth is, they couldn’t care less about Ukraine’s “independence.” They are using Ukraine as a flashpoint to drive a wedge between the U.S. and Russia. They need to destroy what’s left of American and Russian independence. America is an impediment to the New World Order because of its strong middle class, a mostly liberty-loving bunch whose life and work habits don’t fit in the Great Reset (they like to drive cars, fly on planes and live in homes considered much too lavish for the green economy).
But Russia is also an impediment to the New World Order. It has a strong nationalist leader and a bevy of natural resources, both of which must be brought to heel and folded into the one-world system. A strong Russia out there selling cheap natural gas to Europe does not fit the Great Reset model of nations being interdependent within a global economy of net-zero carbon emissions, biodiversity, and earth worship.
So, a World War III scenario seems all but guaranteed. It checks a lot of boxes for the global deep state that runs through Washington, New York, London, Paris and Geneva. Depopulation. Destruction of the U.S. middle-class. Destruction of Russian nationalism and the seizing of Russia’s vast natural resources
Texas Going To War With Cartels by JEFF CHILDERS
Governor Greg Abbott of Texas made history by finally doing what the state’s conservatives have long been begging for:
Governor Abbott formally declared a State of Invasion at the border.
Abbott declared the federal government had failed to protect Texas from invasion, so the state invoked Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution.
The subtext of Abbott’s letter was literally a declaration of war. Article I, § 10, Clause 3 says that states shall not “engage in war” without the consent of Congress unless actually invaded:
“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”
It’s hard to understate how big a deal this is. Texas is going to war … but against what enemy? In his letter, Abbott smartly identified the cartels
Weak Data From Unblinded Trials by JESSICA ROSE
EUA and eventual full FDA approval for these COVID-19 injectable products were granted under what most people would consider coercive and/or incentivized circumstances using absolutely anemic data
we must not lose sight of the fact that the original trials for the COVID-19 products were NOT properly executed and that all subsequent ‘trials’ are being piggy-backed off of the decisions made based on the ‘data’ from these original trials.
If the participants are unblinded and injected during the trial, then the trial is ‘safe and effectively’ over.
Breast-feeding mothers, infants and pregnant women were in the exclusion criteria list for the phase III clinical trials of both Pfizer and Moderna. Therefore, there is no way to predict the effects on individuals in these contexts.
Since it was not possible to perform a study on the effects of a full-term pregnancy in the timeframe lapsed for the clinical trials to have been deemed respectable and to subsequently issue EUAs for these products, it is not possible now to draw conclusions as to the effects on pregnant women or their infants who are breast-feeding
Niceness Founded In Selfishness by PHILIP O'REILLY @PHILIP O'REILLY
If conservatives wish to win elections and begin to address society’s problems, they must convince people that they are the party of effective ideas, the party of grownups, and that it is time that the country put away childish things.
“Likeability,” while an ever-present topic, is unlikely to be a winnable battle, at least not on the policy level.
Instead, conservatives must focus on ideas and practical solutions. They must start presenting ideas that are stronger than the ideas presented by the parties on the left. This should not be difficult given the seeming absence of any workable solutions from the left. However, better ideas are only useful if conservatives can persuade the public that being “nice” is not a solution. They must convince people that “nice” will not solve the drug problem or the violent crime problem or the homelessness problem.
The public must be convinced that “niceness” in politics is founded on selfishness, that it is a mirage that liberates us from responsibility by allowing us to appear virtuous without demanding that we accomplish anything.
Survey Says?! COMMUNISM! by NAKED EMPEROR
A recent survey by the National Centre for Social Research looked at how the public perceptions on the responsibility of the government have changed between 2016 and 2022.
The results are concerning and indicate a seismic shift that has taken place over the pandemic years.
the survey sounds like the UK wants communism.
Keep prices under control
Provide industry with the help it needs to grow
Reduce income differences between the rich and poor
Provide a decent standard of living for the unemployed
Provide a job for everyone who wants one
when you give the government full control over your life, there is no chance they will give it back. You will be powerless to make your own decisions but that is fine so long as it is for the greater good, you feel safe and it saves the climate.
Brand Vs Dinenage by KATHLEEN STOCK
In a spectacular overreach of her remit, the Conservative chair of the parliamentary select committee for culture, media and sport, Dame Caroline Dinenage, has written on the committee’s behalf to social media providers X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, and Rumble, to express consternation that Brand “may be able to profit from his content” on their platforms. Each outlet was asked whether they intend “to join YouTube in suspending Mr. Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform.”
The inquiry had all the innocence of a question casually asked by a mob boss. Rumble’s CEO pushed back robustly, saying “We regard it as deeply inappropriate that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so.”
Nobody sensible could think that, in advance of any due process, it’s a good idea for representatives of the British state to target individuals on the basis of accusations made against them, and seriously pressure others to cut off their incomes.
In fact, this might not be a good idea even after an individual has been convicted of a crime.
Commitment To Lies by JESSICA HOCKETT
The recent “admission” that various officials and operatives suppressed a Lab Leak Theory is (in my opinion) a limited hangout that changes nothing about two core [and faulty] claims:
A pathogen leaked, jumped, and/or escaped from Wuhan, China, and “spread” person to person with lightning speed from that place in/around fall 2019 to the rest of the world.
The thing lurked silently, with no impact on excess death, until exploding in Iran, select provinces in Northern Italy, and parts of Spain, just before unleashing its fury on the largest and densest city in America, right after “15 Days to Slow the Spread” was declared.
Consider how ridiculous the proposition is: Just as a moderate flu season was winding down, when many of the most vulnerable would have already died or been admitted to the hospital, a pathogen comparable to flu in lethality (if not much lower) strikes and creates a mortality event that exceeds what the city reported in 1918.
Then, the pathogen is defeated or runs out of steam or who-knows-what as COVID deaths plummet and virtually disappear for months.
The spectacular lies about a novel deadly pathogen “hitting” New York harder are also clear from the city’s massive testing efforts early on. Researchers from one large metro-area health system concluded from their spring 2020 testing data that “SARS-CoV-2 infection was widely distributed prior to virus testing availability.” The implication being it was already everywhere and not adding to mortality in any appreciable way. In other words, “deadly virus” ain’t so deadly.
Kill 4,000 To Save 300 by IGOR CHUDOV
Pfizer’s RSV vaccine would cause MORE premature births (73 thousand) than it would prevent RSV hospitalizations!
Encouraged by the COVID-given ability of pharmaceutical companies to sell untested vaccines targeting pregnant women, both GSK and Pfizer set out to create a new, prefusion-stabilized antigen RSV vaccine (not based on mRNA technology) for expectant mothers. EDIT: in her post published shortly after mine, Meryl Nass explains that the stabilized antigen was developed by the NIAID and given to both Pfizer and GSK.
GSK and Pfizer’s RSV vaccines are nearly identical in composition.
Both vaccines, when given to pregnant mothers, cause an increase in premature births and infant deaths.
4,000 infants would die from Pfizer’s vaccines to save fewer than 300 infants from RSV.
Russiaphobia Means Supporting Nazis by NAKED EMPEROR
Russophobia has become so extreme and so disconnected from reality now, that Canada is celebrating a real-life Nazi. In this upside-down world, just because the Nazis fought the Russians during the second world war, that makes them heroes now that the Russians are the baddies.
Anthony Rota, the Speaker of the House of Commons…announced the presence of a “Ukrainian-Canadian veteran from the second world war, who fought the Ukrainian independence against the Russians” in the Chamber.
To this introduction, the Chamber, including Trudeau and Zelensky gave this veteran a long standing ovation.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs have condemned the decision by saying “We are deeply troubled & disturbed that a Ukrainian veteran of the infamous 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Nazi SS - which actively participated in the genocide of Jews - was celebrated with a standing ovation in the Canadian Parliament. Canada’s Jewish community stands firmly with Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression. But we can’t stay silent when crimes committed by Ukrainians during the Holocaust are whitewashed.”
UK Covid Policies Worth Emulating by VINAY PRASAD
Testing for COVID risks prolonged absences, and already 90%+ kids have documented serology for prior COVID19. All kids will get COVID now and repeatedly in their lives. Subsequent reinfections will be milder until they reach nursing home age. This is just how life works. If you want to keep a kid home for a positive antigen test and the sniffles, you have to prove there is some benefit to others that outweighs the harm to children’s education. That has not been shown, and is unlikely.
Of course, you should not test yourself for COVID19. First, there is no specific therapy that is proven to work in 2023 against current strains. As I detailed in a prior post— EPIC SR (paxlovid) is negative in vaccinated people. No trial— for any drug— is for current strains of COVID. All need repeat RCTs. A person who has a mild illness should do what you have always done. If you feel too sick to work, stay home. If you feel up to going to work, go for it.
Does MMR Vaccine Work? by BEN
Here it says, that only the antibody response was compared against the previous M-M-R II HSA vaccine.
--> No clinical indications as endpoints, no real placebo used!
the end of the trail. It goes back to an experiment in 1967 in Honduras where 300 children were monitored for 3 weeks. No efficacy for measles cases or deaths was established. All subsequent studies rely on this original study.
no efficacy (cases/deaths) for any of these products against the clinical disease of Measles has ever been shown. Instead, these products rely only on antibody serum levels, and earlier studies, which also did not demonstrate any clinical efficacy.
Emergency Department Math by JESSICA HOCKETT
how did normal - and then way below normal - ED visits produce a sudden explosion in Emergency Department/Outpatient deaths?
Incredibly, by early May, the excess death in EDs/outpatient is gone…and doesn't return for the rest of the year! That’s a pretty absurd claim for a city of 8 million people that saw civil unrest and ongoing mitigations.
Behold, a very short 6 week event, with the majority of deaths excess blamed on a Newly-Named disease (COVID-19) — which was effectively "defeated" in these settings by the second week of May.
Most NYC resident deaths in spring 2020 were in HOSPITALS.
NOT nursing homes — HOSPITALS.
to this day, it's the HOSPITAL data that has avoided scrutiny - perhaps in part because of the focus on nursing homes.
Long Covid Research Issues by TRACY BETH HØEG, MD, PHD
The existing epidemiological research has suffered from overly broad case definitions and a striking absence of control groups. This has led to distortion of risk.
The unintended consequences of this may include, but are not limited to, increased societal anxiety and healthcare spending, a failure to diagnose other treatable conditions misdiagnosed as long COVID and diversion of funds and attention from those who truly suffer from chronic conditions secondary to COVID-19.
Future research should include properly matched control groups, sufficient follow-up time after infection and internationally-established diagnostic or inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Opting Out Of White Supremacy by REBECCA VELO
Does smashing White supremacy consist of hiring predominantly White liberals?
White people who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community are apparently exempt from the ‘racist’ label all other White people are subjected to. When a White person, no matter how wealthy declares themselves LGBTQ+ they opt out of being ‘the world’s most privileged’ and become the ‘world’s most oppressed’.
It’s evident to anybody who follows the woke movement that it's full of contradictions. But this contradiction is unbelievably obvious. How can we ‘dismantle White supremacy’, when the term itself is vague and those who are supposedly the cause of it can opt-out with a simple declaration?
According to the 2020 census, 57% of Americans identify as White only. Given this, you would expect universities to reflect the diversity of our country. Instead, almost 75% of university faculty across the country are White. And 90% of university professors are White. Most university staff and professors are liberal with some universities having as little as 1% declaring themselves conservative.
At its core, progressiveism is a wealthy far-left radical movement that opposes anyone who stands in its way. Progressivism is not about increasing diversity. It's about elite overreach.
330% Death Increase In 12-19 Year Olds by JOEL SMALLEY
In England & Wales, for all cohorts born between 1935 and 2008, excess mortality has accrued, pretty much unabated since the announcement of the COVID pandemic in Mar-20. By Mar-23, there have been around 146,000 excess deaths, with little reversion to baseline, of which only 32% occurred prior to the start of the mass vaccination campaign.
Progressively, as we move through the younger cohorts, excess mortality has increased over time, in most cases, peaking in Mar-21.
In relative terms, the cohort worst affected is those born between 2004 and 2008 (aged between 12 and 19 over the course of the pandemic), with a 330% increase in excess mortality rate after the start of the mass vaccination campaign, during which over 2 million were vaccinated, compared to the rate established between spring and Dec 2020.
Nord Stream: Keeping Germany Under America’s Thumb by SEYMOUR HERSH
The Biden administration blew up the pipelines but the action had little to do with winning or stopping the war in Ukraine. It resulted from fears in the White House that Germany would waver and turn on the flow of Russia gas—and that Germany and then NATO, for economic reasons, would fall under the sway of Russia and its extensive and inexpensive natural resources. And thus followed the ultimate fear: that America would lose its long-standing primacy in Western Europe.
the real reason why the Biden administration “brought up taking out the Nord Stream pipeline.” The official recently explained to me that at the time Russia was supplying gas and oil throughout the world via more than a dozen pipelines, but Nord Stream 1 and 2 ran directly from Russia through the Baltic Sea to Germany. “The administration put Nord Stream on the table because it was the only one we could access and it would be totally deniable,” the official said. “We solved the problem within a few weeks—by early January—and told the White House. Our assumption was that the president would use the threat against Nord Stream as a deterrent to avoid the war.”
It took months of research and practice in the churning waters of the Baltic Sea by the two expert US Navy deep sea divers recruited for the mission before it was deemed a go. Norway’s superb seamen found the right spot for planting the bombs that would blow up the pipelines. Senior officials in Sweden and Denmark, who still insist they had no idea what was going on in their shared territorial waters, turned a blind eye to the activities of the American and Norwegian operatives. The American team of divers and support staff on the mission’s mother ship—a Norwegian minesweeper—would be hard to hide while the divers were doing their work. The team would not learn until after the bombing that Nord Stream 2 had been shut down with 750 miles of natural gas in it.
After Biden’s order to trigger the explosives planted on the pipelines, it took only a short flight with a Norwegian fighter and the dropping of an altered off-the-shelf sonar device at the right spot in the Baltic Sea to get it done. By then the CIA group had long disbanded. By then, too, the official told me: “We realized that the destruction of the two Russian pipelines was not related to the Ukrainian war”—Putin was in the process of annexing the four Ukrainian oblasts he wanted—“but was part of a neocon political agenda to keep Scholz and Germany, with winter coming up and the pipelines shut down, from getting cold feet and opening up” the shuttered Nord Stream 2. “The White House fear was that Putin would get Germany under his thumb and then he was going to get Poland.”
