His article reports on the results of a study recently published in the Lancet Healthy Longevity, funded by the UK Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust, which seeks to establish the extent to which drug trials underestimate side-effects by comparing trial data to real world data. The study focuses in particular on blood pressure drugs known as RAAS blockers, which Dr Rushworth explains were chosen because of the number of trials that have been done by different companies. There is no reason the results should not apply equally to other drugs, he says, including Covid vaccines (for which there have been an unprecedented number of adverse event reports despite the trials showing them to be safe).
The exchange had been triggered when Rowling replied to a critic who quoted her saying, "I've ignored porn tweeted at children." Rowling fired back, "Juan, I'll give you a moment to think hard about leaving that up. I reported every bit of porn so-called trans allies tweeted into Twitter threads where children were sending me artwork for the Ickabog. I didn't respond or retweet it because I didn't want more kids to see it."

South African ex-president Jacob Zuma’s supporters portray him as a defender of the poor.
Security forces threw a cordon around the High Court in the southeastern city of Pietermaritzburg, capital of Zuma's home region of KwaZulu-Natal, where loyalists have previously gathered in rowdy shows of support.
The measures were later eased to allow street access after the area was deserted.
People in London protesting the fact that so called "freedom day" is anything but that, were met with even harsher police responses than during lockdown Monday, with chaotic footage emerging of beatings and arrests.
The action predominantly took place in Parliament Square, with protesters chanting "arrest Boris Johnson" and "shame on police."

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
"If you look at the extraordinary historic success in eradicating smallpox and eliminating polio from most of the world, and we're on the brink of eradicating polio, if we had the pushback for vaccines the way we're seeing on certain media, I don't think it would have been possible at all to not only eradicate smallpox; we probably would still have smallpox, and we probably would still have polio in this country," Fauci, President Biden's chief medical adviser, said in response to a question from "CNN Newsroom" host Jim Acosta.
"If we had the kind of false information that's being spread now, if we had that back decades ago, I would be certain that we'd still have polio in this country," he added.
Comment: If there had been social media when the first polio vaccines were given, the public would've had the opportunity to avoid the horrific maiming of thousands of children otherwise known as the Cutter Incident:
The Cutter vaccine had been used in vaccinating 200,000 children in the western and midwestern United States.[76] Later investigations showed that the Cutter vaccine had caused 40,000 cases of polio, killing 10.[76] In response the Surgeon General pulled all polio vaccines made by Cutter Laboratories from the market, but not before 250 cases of paralytic illness had occurred. Wyeth polio vaccine was also reported to have paralyzed and killed several children. It was soon discovered that some lots of Salk polio vaccine made by Cutter and Wyeth had not been properly inactivated, allowing live poliovirus into more than 100,000 doses of vaccine.Global Research reports:
This scenario of fast tracking unsafe and poorly researched vaccines was certainly the case for one of the first polio vaccines in 1955. In fact the polio vaccine received FDA approval and licensure after two hours of review - the fastest approved drug in the FDA's history. Known as the Cutter Incident, because the vaccine was manufactured by Cutter Laboratories, within days of vaccination, 40,000 children were left with polio, 200 with severe paralysis and ten deaths. Shortly thereafter the vaccine was quickly withdrawn from circulation and abandoned.See also:
The CDC's website still promulgates a blatant untruth that the Salk vaccine was a modern medical success. To the contrary, officials at the National Institutes of Health were convinced that the vaccine was contributing to a rise in polio and paralysis cases in the 1950s. In 1957 Edward McBean documented in his book The Poisoned Needle that government officials stated the vaccine was "worthless as a preventive and dangerous to take." Some states such as Idaho where several people died after receiving the Salk vaccine, wanted to hold the vaccine makers legally liable. Dr. Salk himself testified in 1976 that his live virus vaccine, which continued to be distributed in the US until 2000, was the "principal if not sole cause" of all polio cases in the US since 1961. However, after much lobbying and political leveraging, private industry seduced the US Public Health Service to proclaim the vaccine safe.[2] Although this occurred in the 1950s, this same private industry game plan to coerce and buy off government health agencies has become epidemic with practically every vaccine brought to market during the past 50 years.

Israeli forces attack Palestinian worshipers at the Al-Aqsa compound on August 11, 2019, the first day of Eid al-Adha
Tensions rose in Jerusalem over the weekend as Israeli settlers, under the protection of armed Israeli forces, raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound just a few days before the Eid al-Adha holidays.
In the early morning hours of Sunday, Israeli forces stormed the compound, which is the third holiest site in Islam, as Palestinian worshipers were performing predawn fajjr prayers.
Comment: Even Israel's own human rights groups admit that it is committing the crime of apartheid:
- Jerusalem is ready to explode - the world can't say it wasn't warned
- Israel bombs 130 Gaza targets in retaliation for 200 Hamas rockets, after Jerusalem police attack worshipers in Al Aqsa Mosque
One-fifth of polled adults believe it is "definitely true" or "probably true" that COVID-19 vaccinations contain government-issued microchips, according to a new survey.
The survey, conducted by The Economist/YouGov and published this week, asked 1,500 Americans ages 18 and over if "the U.S. government is using the COVID-19 vaccine to microchip the population." Five percent of respondents said the statement was "definitely true," while 15 percent said the statement was "probably true."
Comment: The idea that there are actual microchips in the vaccines may be a little out there, but it seems highly likely that there is something fishy going on with the mRNA shots (magnet challenge anyone?).

Macmillan Dictionary - "An insulting term for someone who ignores health advice about Covid-19, hoards food unnecessarily, etc."
Urban Dictionary - "Someone who ignores the warnings regarding public health or safety. A person who hoards goods, denying them from their neighbors."
They could have added the Cambridge Dictionary definition: "Someone who behaves in a stupid way that risks spreading the infectious disease Covid-19."
The Health website largely agrees with these definitions. However they embellish them somewhat and add:
"Basically, a covidiot doesn't take COVID-19 and the risks of the virus seriously, despite what government officials and the global health community say. At the same time, they may also engage in selfish behavior that doesn't look out for the greater good when it comes to slowing down and stopping the spread of the coronavirus."They say that the term has been thrown around a lot. Indeed so, it has been liberally seeded online with the appropriate hashtags and memes doing the global, viral rounds. It is a new word, recently invented to describe people in disparaging terms. Beyond the offered dictionary definitions, Health explore some of the principles underpinning "covidiot."
National Public Radio admitted that Shapiro's site, the Daily Wire, doesn't "normally include falsehoods," and is even (according to its own Standards & Policies page) "committed to truthful, accurate, and ethical reporting" - but that's not the point, they sniffed.
Shapiro seemed bemused to discover that the latest excuse for seemingly trying to take him offline was not "fake news," or "climate change denial," or any of the other usual suspects - but instead being "overtly conservative."

Stuart McCarthy, whose 28-year military career included two tours of Afghanistan, announced on Monday that he would burn Australia's "badge of shame" and then present the ashes to his representative in parliament.
"The Morrison government's conscious decision to leave hundreds of our former Afghan civilian interpreters, other loyal allies, and their family members behind to be slaughtered by the Taliban - the same terrorist organisation we were sent to fight for two decades - now renders this medal a badge of shame," he wrote in a statement explaining his decision.
He later published a video on Twitter showing the ribbon covered in flames.












Comment: Given the insane profits pulled in by Big Pharma, the idea that drugs trials would be fudged makes complete sense. What good corporate entity would want to sink a pile of cash into a multi-year R&D program and then have to report to its shareholders that it was a bust?
