A federal vaccine advisory panel voted on Friday to recommend people talk with a clinician before getting a Covid vaccine, while voting against a motion to require prescriptions for the shot.

All 12 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voted unanimously to update COVID-19 guidance so coronavirus vaccinations for all people should be based on "individual-based decision making."

For people between six months and 64 years old, the recommendation advised that vaccinations be based on individual-based decision-making along "with an emphasis that the risk-benefit of vaccination is most favorable for individuals who are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease and lowest for individuals who are not at an increased risk, according to the CDC list of COVID-19 risk factors."

Best of the Web: Why is every newborn forced to get the dangerous Hepatitis B vaccine?

The suppressed history behind the Hep B vaccine and the actual risks and benefits of it we are never told about.

In order to have a healthy and meaningful life, people need to have a unifying purpose behind everything they do. Recognizing the importance of this at a young age (as I saw many lacking one struggle greatly), I decided to devote myself to the pursuit of truth, regardless of where it took me. From this, I quickly realized how difficult this was, as on virtually every issue, there is a massive amount of ambiguity, which inevitably leads you reaching false conclusions produced from your existing biases.

Because of this, whenever I try to figure out why something "bad" is happening, I take numerous possibilities (often over a dozen) into consideration, and frequently never fully commit to any as I don't feel a definitive case was made for any of them — an approach which lies in stark contrast to those who come across one explanation and immediately commit to espousing it (as it "makes sense"). Rather, I patiently wait and have faith I will eventually uncover the thread that ties all the disparate pieces together (which when finally revealed, is an immense source of joy).
Note: this is why, while I sometimes claim things are true, I am also quite deliberate in prefacing other statements with "I suspect" or "I believe."

Promising preliminary research finds diet change could make brain cancer easier to treat

A new lab study exploited a unique aspect of metabolism in glioblastoma to boost the effectiveness of chemoradiation, turning the cancer's properties against itself.

A dietary change may make the fatal brain cancer glioblastoma more vulnerable to cancer therapies, a new study suggests.

The researchers behind the work think this dietary change exploits a key metabolic vulnerability in the cancer, and their work demonstrates that the approach extends survival in mice when used in combination with chemoradiation therapy.

Healthy cells in the brain need fuel to maintain their extensive list of functions, like electrical signaling and the release of chemical messengers. Cancer cells dispose of these normal processes as they rewire to become "professional dividing cells," said study co-author Costas Lyssiotis, a professor of oncology at the University of Michigan.

Comment: Interesting work, but it seems they missed the obvious:
"The tumor cells, by contrast, set these processes aside. Instead, the cancer cells directed glucose to produce nucleotides — the building blocks of DNA. These molecules are vital fuel sources for the tumor cells' endless replication."
Why not start by cutting excess sugar in all its forms (carbs and simple sugars) out of the patient's diet to begin with, and then monitor the results? Oh wait, it's been done:

A groundbreaking hybrid protocol using repurposed drugs and nutrients left one man cancer-free after Stage 4 prostate cancer — at a fraction of standard treatment costs.

In 2023, according to the US Centers for Disease Control, 613,349 Americans died of cancer. That number is projected to increase to over 618,000 this year. As a result, medical research has been focused on the development of cancer treatment protocols for decades for all types of cancer.

Comment: It is wonderful to witness "experts" now seeing the common sense approach to combating cancer.

The breakthrough drug reduced tumor size and growth by up to 80% in early testing.

Russia's newly developed cancer vaccine has shown high effectiveness in preclinical trials and is ready for rollout, according to Veronika Skvortsova, head of the Federal Medical-Biological Agency.

The breakthrough drug is awaiting approval from the Russian Health Ministry.

The vaccine showed excellent results in three years of preclinical trials, the official told Izvestia on Friday on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.

Skvortsova said:
"The [trials] have proven the safety of the vaccine, including its repeated use, as well as its high efficiency, which was associated with a reduction in tumor size and a slowdown in tumor growth."
She added that in some cancers, the effect reached 60-80%.

"Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery," Dr. Joseph Ladapo said. "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?"

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said Wednesday that the state will work to eliminate all vaccine mandates, a move that drew condemnation from public health experts.

"All of them. All of them," Ladapo said during a news conference as the crowd stood and erupted in applause. "Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery." He said the Florida Department of Health will work in partnership with the governor.

He said forcing vaccine mandates is "wrong" and "immoral."

Best of the Web: Houston, We Have Another Problem

This follow-up to our earlier report, Houston, We Have a Problem, identifies a new and deeply concerning signal: excess infant and child mortality in those who neither contracted Covid-19 nor received the vaccine themselves, but whose parents bore prior mRNA exposure. The evidence points to two neglected risks — teratogenic effects passed in utero and transgenerational epigenetic effects transmitted through germline biology — together forming a warning of historic consequence for generations yet unborn.
We again invoke the Apollo 13 crew's now-immortal phrase, "Houston, we have a problem," as the title-thematic of this article — offered as a direct continuation of our earlier blockbuster report, Houston, We Have a Problem. That first analysis marked the earliest significant identification of morbidity and mortality impacts associated with the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine. It stood as a "shot heard around the world," revealing excess non-Covid natural-cause mortality across multiple ICD-coded categories documented within the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). Much as thalidomide once forced medicine to reckon with teratogenic risk, these findings underscored the ethical necessity of considering systemic, population-wide harms that may only emerge through rigorous epidemiological tracking.

COVID-19 could leave behind a hidden problem that lingers in women's bodies for years, a new study has found.

The research revealed the virus can prematurely age women's blood vessels by around five years, raising their risk of heart attack and stroke later in life.

The study, published in the European Heart Journal, followed nearly 2400 adults across 16 countries.

Researchers tracked changes in artery stiffness at six and 12 months after infection, and what they found was striking.

Centenarian blood tests point to secrets of longevity

Centenarians, once considered rare, have become commonplace. Indeed, they are the fastest-growing demographic group of the world's population, with numbers roughly doubling every ten years since the 1970s.

How long humans can live, and what determines a long and healthy life, have been of interest for as long as we know. Plato and Aristotle discussed and wrote about the ageing process over 2,300 years ago.

The pursuit of understanding the secrets behind exceptional longevity isn't easy, however. It involves unravelling the complex interplay of genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors and how they interact throughout a person's life. Now our recent study, published in GeroScience, has unveiled some common biomarkers, including levels of cholesterol and glucose, in people who live past 90.

Comment: Keeping inflammation of various metabolic systems as low as possible seems to be a big part of the picture.

Evil: American Academy Of Pediatrics pushes COVID-19 vax for all infants

In stark contrast to reality, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) - which is heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies, recommended on Tuesday that young children, including infants, receive the COVID-19 vaccine despite the fact that children are minimally impacted by the virus, the fact that the vaccine doesn't prevent one from contracting it, and that it largely only helps the elderly and medically fragile from severe cases.

According to the organization, all children ages 6-23 months should receive the COVID-19 vaccine - regardless of whether they have natural immunity from prior infection, unless they have a contraindication such as a history of severe allergic reaction to a vaccine ingredient.

While the recommendation is universal, the group said in a statement that their recommendation stems from infants and other children who are "at high risk for severe COVID-19."

Comment: Think your child's health motivates the recommendations for the crazy vaccination schedule the AAP is pushing? Hardly:



The AAP's full schedule. Covid vaccination is supposed to be given on top of this mad chemistry list:
