Despite health authorities' continued push for people to stay up to date on boosters, public interest appears to be waning. A recent study reveals why... Most Americans eligible for a COVID-19 bivalent booster chose not to get it, and researchers say they now know why. Previous research found that over 80 percent of Americans eligible for the booster decided against it. A new survey administered between February 13 and March 29 of nearly 2,200 Arizona respondents, averaging 53 years old, revealed why those who chose to forgo the booster did so in the fall of 2022. Those who shied away...

For over a year, I have been writing and commenting on California’s unconstitutional Covid gag law for physicians and other medical professionals. The law allowing the revocation of licenses for “false or misleading information” on Covid-19 was a frontal attack on free speech. Nevertheless, many lawyers supported the law and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it. Now Newsom has quietly signed the repeal of the law after it was headed for an almost certain rejection by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. All of the supporters of the law seem to be shrugging and moving on after...

We've heard repeatedly from the White House that they "encourage" Americans to get yet another COVID booster, which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved earlier this month. President Joe Biden received his own, last week, or so we've been told. While the president has received previous doses in public during press conferences, that wasn't the case this time. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre took a question during Monday's press briefing about such a decision for the president to have his COVID booster and flu vaccine out of the public eye. "Isn’t this a time when, you know, given...

Dr. Peter McCullough gave a speech at the European Parliament during a hearing hosted by five Members of the European Parliament (“MEPs”). In that speech, he said that the path forward with regard to mass vaccination for COVID-19 is clear. “No one” should “take another shot.” The hearing was scheduled to raise awareness about the World Health Organisation’s (“WHO’s”) consistent and ever-increasing power grabs. The ruling classes are continuing to push these shots on the public regardless of the evidence that they are doing more harm than good. During the hearing, McCullough was quoted as saying: “The path forward is,...

The unvaccinated were found to have a slightly lower risk.. Findings in a new study challenge the mainstream narrative that COVID-19 vaccinations prevent long COVID. The study found that while previous infections reduce the risk of long COVID by 86 percent, vaccination status prior to COVID infection is irrelevant to a person's risk of developing long COVID. “The notion had been that both previous infection as well as vaccination reduce the chances of subsequent long COVID should you become infected,” Dr. William Schaffner, professor of preventive medicine and health policy at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told The Epoch Times. These...

While announcing the launch of an executive level gun control office–the Office of Gun Violence Prevention–President Joe Biden called again for a ban on “assault weapons” and said, “If you need 80 shots in a magazine you shouldn’t own a gun.” On September 19, 2023, Breitbart News reported Biden’s plans to launch the executive gun control office and, on September 21, 2023, noted that he had tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to lead it.

SPENCER, Iowa — Vivek Ramaswamy said he regrets taking the two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine he’s received. He also said at a recent campaign stop that he and his wife, surgeon Apoorva Ramaswamy, “disagree on things sometimes,” and that’s OK. One of those things is their feelings about the Covid-19 vaccine, Apoorva Ramaswamy told NBC News in an interview. Dr. Ramaswamy, who is a laryngologist at Ohio State University, said she has no regrets about taking the jabs to protect against Covid, putting her decision in terms of her responsibility to the patients she sees. “For my young, healthy...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved newly updated COVID-19 shots on Monday in an effort to give Americans some added protection ahead of a potential winter uptick in infections. Outside advisors for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday will recommend who should get the shots, which are manufactured by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech. Once the CDC director signs off, the shots will be available to the public.

Give me liberty or give me subclinical myocarditis. Nearly a million legal immigrants became American citizens last year, the third-highest number in history. One angle missing from the news coverage: Every single one of those immigrants was required, as a precondition of citizenship, to get a Covid booster. The Immigration and Nationality Act and related federal regulations were designed from a reasonable public health perspective to require immunization against “vaccine-preventable diseases.” However, this regulation has since been expanded to require immunization with any product recommended by CDC guidance, whether or not it prevents disease at all and regardless of any...

Does anyone remember for sure how many Covid shot they are on now? There were the 2 original Covid Shots. I am cloudy of what happened after that. Have there been 3 or 4 booster shots to date? Will the new booster shot be the 6th or 7th shot for those who wish to be "fully vaccinated?"

The controversy surrounding childhood vaccines has been simmering for some time, particularly with the rapid rise in autism rates. While the so-called “scientific community” hasn’t reached a consensus on a potential link between vaccines and the neurodevelopmental disorder, public skepticism has only grown. This mistrust was made even worse when the government aggressively began promoting COVID vaccines not just for adults, but for children — who were at very low risk. The flu was likely more dangerous for these poor kids. The “experts” assured us the vaccines were safe, but public suspicion went through the roof following an uptick in...

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo harshly criticized COVID-19 mask mandates and lockdowns, and urged people to consider "refusing to participate." "What do you call re-imposing mask policies that have been proven ineffective or restarting lockdowns that are known to cause harm? You don't call it sanity," Dr. Ladapo posted last week on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "These terrible policies only work with your cooperation. How about refusing to participate…" Some schools and companies are implementing mask mandates amid a rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations, even though some peer-reviewed research has suggested that face coverings may cause...

‘Perhaps it is some combination of virtue signaling, rampant neuroticism of administrators and faculty members, and just authoritarian control,’ one professor saidNearly 100 universities across the United States continue to mandate COVID vaccinations despite persisting concerns about the side effects and overall effectiveness of the vaccines as well as the ethics of such mandates.Harvard, Johns Hopkins and Rutgers universities are among the 100 colleges that require COVID vaccine shots for their students to promote campus health, as reported by No College Mandates, a group critical of the requirements.“There are 97 colleges holding tight to student COVID vaccine mandates for fall...

The mRNA pioneer's reluctant conclusion came during a speech at the recent 2023 White Coat Summit. In a speech at the 2023 White Coat Summit, Dr. Robert Malone asked the crucial question about the so-called COVID vaccines: “Why would a government wish to advance this technology?” His reluctant conclusion is that the novel mRNA injections have been developed by the CIA to assist in a global depopulation program – which has existed in the United States since the 1970s. Following the scientist .. Dr. Malone was one of the pioneers of the technology which led to the development of the...

Peru has declared a “national health emergency” as cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome continue to soar out of control. Over the weekend the government of Peru declared a 90-day health emergency as a result of an “unusual increase” in cases of the rare Covid vaccine-induced disorder. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare disease where the body’s immune system attacks part of the nervous system. Peru is not alone, however, as cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome have been spiking around the world following the introduction of the mRNA Covid shots. Additionally, researchers advise that older individuals who received the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)...

[H/T Grey_Whiskers]Nobody disagrees at this point that there is a plethora of excess deaths and a dearth of births, a trend that should be the number-one alarming public policy issue. Yet when any of us suggest that the gene therapy ubiquitously given to the world right around the time of the jump in these numbers might be responsible, people look at us like we are from Mars. However, it turns out, based on newly released FOIA documents from the CDC, that our government knew about and even anticipated massive reports of injuries from these shots from day one.Throughout the past...

The U.S. Marine Corps all dropped charges on Monday against a lance corporal who was accused of disrespecting orders and forging documents as she sought to avoid being discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. LCpl. Catherine Arnett told the DCNF she has been targeted for retaliation by the Marine Corps and is fighting her imminent discharge. “This decision was made judiciously while balancing what was best for LCpl Arnett and the United States Marine Corps,” Maj. Rob Martins, communication strategy director for the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing in Okinaway, told the DCNF. The U.S. Marine Corps dropped all charges Monday...

Constable Michael Brisco will be forced to serve the extra hours on rest days and vacations. ... WINDSOR, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian police officer who donated $50 dollars to the Freedom Convoy last year was told by an adjudicator he must work 80 unpaid hours as punishment. Last Thursday, Constable Michael Brisco of the Windsor Police Service in a penalty hearing was given his sentence by retired Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Superintendent Morris Elbers. Elbers said the $50 donation was a “serious” violation and that the hours will be worked on vacation or rest days. “As a police officer,...

Several U.S. military personnel who received a smallpox vaccination died from heart inflammation while others had not recovered from the same inflammation years after first experiencing the condition, an in-depth review of medical records has found. Autopsies of two male military members in their 20s who suddenly died uncovered heart inflammation, or myocarditis. There were also signs that heart inflammation contributed to two additional deaths, one an 18-year-old male and the other a 23-year-old female. Researchers also found that 348 members survived myocarditis and/or a related condition, pericarditis, but that it took at least months for each to recover, with...
