A veteran Florida flight attendant who says she was coerced by her employer into getting a Covid-19 vaccine called it a betrayal of her faith and the "worst decision of my life," adding that side effects continue to plague her.

United Airlines worker Lisa Williams told reporters on Monday:
"I was fearful of losing my job, which would cause me not to provide for my children. And I caved under duress and got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. That was the single-worst decision of my life."
Williams, who worked for the major airline for 31 years, said this "violated" her faith
"because my employer made me choose between my God and my life - a decision that almost cost me my life. Due to my body's adverse reaction to the jab, I was rushed to the hospital. Every day, the side effects linger, and I suffer chronic pain."

A 15-year-old boy jailed for killing his 12-year-old friend and attempting to decapitate him can now be named.

Marcel Grzeszcz was handed a minimum sentence of 16 years and 36 days at Lincoln Crown Court for murdering Roberts Buncis, who he lured into woodland and stabbed dozens of times.

The killer knifed his victim 'in excess of 70 times' on ground off Alcorn Green in Fishtoft, near Boston, on December 12, 2020 - just two days before Roberts' 13th birthday.

The teenager's trial heard the younger boy had a wound to the neck that was 'consistent with a decapitation attempt'.

'The idea that the unvaccinated are a threat to you is ridiculous,' Jimmy Dore explains

On a recent episode of "The Jimmy Dore Show," comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore condemned the popular portrayal of COVID policy critics as anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists.

"Because I've been giving a critical examination of the COVID narrative, they're calling me anti-vax, even though I'm double vaccinated," said Dore. "And I'm not anti-vaccine, I'm anti-mandate."

Dore said he's against COVID vaccine mandates because vaccinated individuals can still spread the disease to others. He took issue with the popular justification for mandate policies — the need to protect others from disease.

A transport truck has smashed into a toll booth and six other vehicles on a highway in central Mexico, leaving at least 19 people dead and three injured, authorities said.

The brakes on the truck apparently failed before it crashed into the toll booth and then the vehicles on Saturday, igniting a large fire on the highway connecting Mexico City with Puebla state.

A statement from Mexico's federal roads and bridges agency said the truck was transporting shampoo base at the time. The accident occurred in Mexico state.

Proof of vax required as strict mandate takes effect in LA

Yoga studio owner David Gross felt relieved after Los Angeles passed a vaccine mandate that is among the strictest in the country, a measure taking effect Monday that requires proof of shots for everyone entering a wide variety of businesses from restaurants to shopping malls and theaters to nail and hair salons.

For Gross, the relief came from knowing he and his co-owner don't have to unilaterally decide whether to verify their customers are vaccinated. In another part of town, the manager of a struggling nail salon feels trepidation and expects to lose customers. "This is going to be hard for us," Lucila Vazquez said.

Los Angeles is among a growing number of cities across the U.S., including San Francisco and New York City, requiring people show proof of vaccination to enter various types of businesses and venues. But rules in the nation's second-most-populous city, called SafePassLA, apply to more types of businesses and other indoor locations including museums and convention centers.

More than a thousand members of the NYPD were jabbed Thursday — as the deadline closed in for unvaccinated city workers to get the shot or be forced out on unpaid leave, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said Friday.

The latest doses brought the NYPD's vaccination rate up to 80 percent, the top cop said on FOX 5's "Good Day New York" — only hours before the 5 p.m. deadline for city workers to earn a $500 bonus for getting their first jab.
"From the police department perspective, we're going to be OK. We have contingency plans. Those plans are being actually scaled down in terms of, you know, what percentage are we at? How would we address it to keep the cops on the street rolling?" he said.

Mexico announces its biggest seizure of pure fentanyl

fentanyl
Mexico said Thursday it has made the biggest seizure of pure fentanyl in its history, after five suspected drug traffickers were arrested at a lab along with 260 pounds (118 kilograms) of the synthetic opioid.

Fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin, and only a tiny amount is needed to make counterfeit oxycodone pills.

The Mexican army said the lab busted on Oct. 28 in the northern city of Culiacan probably made about 70 million of the blue fentanyl pills every month for the Sinaloa cartel.

Spyware from Israeli hacking firm NSO Group was discovered Monday on six phones belonging to Palestinian activists.

The discovery marks the first time Palestinian activists have been targeted by the military-grade spyware known as Pegasus. A Pegasus infection gives hackers access to everything stored on a phone, including real-time communications, the Associated Press reported.

Half the phones hacked by the company belonged to activists affiliated with groups Israel deemed as terrorists last month. It is currently unclear who hired the group to hack the six phones, as NSO Group is a hacker-for-hire company, according to the outlet .

California Governor out of public sight since vaccine booster shot 11 days ago

Newsome vaccine
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has remained out of public sight since getting a CCP virus vaccine booster shot on Oct. 27.

The governor's office released a surprising announcement on Oct. 29 canceling Newsom's plans to attend the United Nations climate summit in Scotland to deal with unspecific family obligations.

The governor's spokesperson said on Oct. 29 that Newsom planned to participate in the climate conference virtually, but a delegation schedule released later did not feature any virtual events with Newsom.

Newsom spokesperson Erin Mellon said on Thursday the governor will participate virtually in "a couple" of the climate summit events next week. The office did not respond to questions on Friday about what the governor has been doing this week.

A caravan of Central American and South American migrants headed to the U.S.-Mexico border has been halted in southern Mexico, held up by sickness and violence.

Between 2,000 and 3,000 migrants departed the Guatemala-Mexico border headed north on foot nearly two weeks ago. The group was walking through the Mexican state of Chiapas on its way to Mexico City, 800 miles away, but was blocked from continuing out of Chiapas by the Mexican military, as well as a mosquito-borne illness that has led to hospitalizations of children in the group, according to the Mexican government's National Institute of Migration.
