The physician recommended rabies postexposure prophylaxis, a lifesaving treatment that can prevent the disease if it's given before symptoms develop.
An 11-year-old boy in Ontario has died of rabies after he awoke in the middle of the night to find a bat on his face, medical experts reported.

The family was staying at a cottage in northern Ontario in 2024 when their 11-year-old son awoke in the middle of the night with a bat on his nose and mouth, according to a report published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

The boy, who was not identified, immediately swatted the bat away, the report said. His father caught it in a cooking pot and took it outside.

The child had no visible bite marks or scratches, and his parents were not under the impression the bat had caused any injury, according to the report.

The family did not seek immediate medical care, even though health officials recommend that anyone who has direct contact with a bat be evaluated for possible rabies exposure because even small bites often go unnoticed, the report said.

Candace Owens recently visited Russia with her family, among other things, in order to attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Her entourage included a security team, among whom was a U.S. military veteran, a former Navy SEAL with about 12 years of service (Mr. SEAL).

As it happened, shortly after their arrival in Moscow, this man had a medical emergency: a stroke-like event, which caused him to collapse with severe seizures. Paramedics and hospital staff reacted quickly and among other things performed a CT scan that revealed a massive blood clot in his brain. An emergency surgery was arranged to remove the clot.

According to Candace Owens, Mr. SEAL had significant health issues related to this clot including frequent headaches, hearing loss, seizures and coughing up blood. Even though these issues were related to his military service, he was unable to obtain proper treatment from the US Veterans Administration where he was told his problems were all in his head (they kind of were), related to PTSD. Instead of a CT scan and proper treatment, they prescribed him Xanax and told him to go away.

In Russia, he was treated immediately and according to Owens, his symptoms, including headaches, hearing issues, and blood coughing cleared up significantly or went away overnight. After his surgery he received physical therapy, ongoing care and further diagnostic tests. Owens described the episode in the video, which is below:

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a new CDC-led pilot program in New Hampshire aimed at reducing tick populations on wildlife hosts before they spread illness to people, and lowering Lyme disease cases by 2035.

Kennedy unveiled the initiative late last month in New Hampshire, a state heavily affected by Lyme disease, during the administration's "Take Back Your Health" tour. The program is part of the Make America Healthy Again initiative and is being presented as a results-driven response to rising tick-related health threats.

The announcement comes as emergency room visits for tick bites reached their highest April levels since 2017, according to the information provided. HHS officials said the new approach is intended to move prevention beyond personal repellents and residential spraying by addressing tick populations earlier in the transmission cycle.

The centerpiece is a multi-million-dollar pilot program led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in partnership with leading researchers focused on vector-borne diseases.

Alpha-gal syndrome: A bonanza for Bill Gate's fake meat project?
In response to a question on the topic posed by ZeroHedge reporter Liam Cosgrove, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently addressed the astronomical increase in alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne infection that causes potentially life-threatening allergic reactions to red meat:
"Last week, I went to New Hampshire... to address this explosion of alpha-gal, and we take it very seriously. One of the epicenters is Martha's Vineyard where 50% of the adult population is now affected. It is really a devastating disease. You can't eat red meat for the rest of your life. We are looking at medications that can serve as both prophylactics and also potentially cures for it. We're funding those studies now and we're working with the companies that are making those. We've also launched a major effort on tick control through a number of different strategies that address deer populations... Three ticks that are causing these, most of the tick-borne diseases, all breed on deer. And we're looking at strategies for eliminating their breeding capacity."

PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) as Supplement: Gaining in Popularity, And For Good Reason

I recently received a recommendation from a lab with a simplified process for dealing with the massive numbers of patients with allergy problems nowadays: there aren't enough allergologists and pneumologists to evaluate everyone, so just go ahead and send them to the lab.

The estimate for overall allergic disease prevalence in the Western world in the 1960s was roughly 1 to 10% of the population, depending on your parameters, primarily driven by hay fever and allergic rhinitis, with asthma just beginning its epidemic rise and food allergies barely on the radar. Today, by contrast, 30% have at least one allergy, illustrating the dramatic shift over the past six decades. The statistics are skyrocketing, and it's thought one in two will be affected by 2050.

So what happened? There's very good literature from mainstream sources, and with fascinating details for those who love molecular biology. For me the upshot, if you'll excuse the pun, is that COVID-19 happened. We can't blame it all on COVID, but that's because it was only the latest, loudest, example of its kind. There was already the precedent of suspected cross-contamination in vaccine programs and chronic latent infections (i.e., Gulf War Syndrome and post-infectious Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/fibromyalgia) in the past leading to the exact same problems before the COVID-19 era.

Babies are being given and dying from a vaccine that was created for sexually active adults

For decades, the hepatitis B vaccine has been presented to parents as a routine and unquestioned part of newborn care in the United States.

But critics of the vaccine schedule are increasingly challenging the origins of the shot, arguing that the vaccine was never originally intended for healthy infants and that its expansion into universal newborn use was driven more by pharmaceutical economics than public health necessity.

The hepatitis B vaccine was first developed in the early 1980s for adults considered at high risk of infection, including intravenous drug users, individuals with multiple sexual partners, sex workers, and healthcare workers exposed to blood.

Hepatitis B is primarily spread through blood and bodily fluids, and early public-health campaigns focused heavily on adult transmission risk factors.

According to vaccine critics, healthy newborn babies were not the original target population for the vaccine. They argue that when adoption among adults failed to meet expectations, federal agencies shifted strategy toward universal childhood vaccination.

Global mental disorders have nearly doubled since 1990, now affecting 1.2 billion people worldwide
  • Mental disorders are now the leading cause of years lived with disability globally, accounting for more than 17% of all disability worldwide.
  • The highest mental disorder burden is observed among individuals aged 15-19 and women of all ages, driven largely by anxiety and depressive disorders.
  • Mental disorder burden varies widely across countries, with some of the highest levels observed in high-income regions such as Australasia and Western Europe.
SEATTLE, Wash. - May 21, 2026 - Nearly 1.2 billion people worldwide are living with a mental disorder, nearly double the number recorded in 1990. According to a new study, this stark rise has placed mental disorders as the leading cause of disability globally, surpassing cardiovascular disease, cancer, and musculoskeletal conditions.

The study, led by researchers at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in collaboration with partners at the University of Queensland and published in The Lancet, identified that mental disorders disproportionately impact people aged 15-19 and women. It examined the prevalence and burden of mental disorders across both sexes, 25 age groups, 21 regions, and 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2023, making it the most comprehensive analysis of mental disorder burden to date.

The study assessed 12 mental disorders, with anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder (MDD) ranking 11th and 15th, respectively, in burden among 304 diseases and injuries worldwide.

Tick-induced meat allergy incidence jumped 301% since 2021 alone, demanding an urgent investigation into past and present tick-related research and biowarfare programs.

alpha gal syndrome
Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) — the tick-borne allergy that turns red meat, pork, and sometimes dairy into an anaphylaxis risk — is no longer rare.

A new study presented at the American College of Gastroenterology 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting delivers the clearest picture yet: the incidence of alpha-gal syndrome has exploded among Americans.

Comment: By the time they claimed it was a moral obligation to release genetically engineering ticks to spread meat allergies, it was a done deal.

This is absolutely absurd.

A recent peer-reviewed paper titled, Beneficial Bloodsucking, argues that alpha-gal syndrome — the tick-borne condition that can make people allergic to red meat — should be treated as a form of "moral bioenhancement."

The authors (Western Michigan University professors) argue that because they believe eating meat is morally wrong, intentionally spreading a meat allergy using CRISPR-edited ticks could make people more "virtuous" by forcing them away from mammalian meat.

Comment: Bioweapons, for your own good.

Unregulated wireless 5G rollout under HR 2289 would be catastrophic for human health and the environment

The purpose of HR 2289, currently being considered in the U.S. Congress, is to remove all local control over the rollout of 5G cell towers. There are many reasons that unregulated 5G (which stands for 5th generation), will bring devastation. It will greatly increase the risk of out of control fires, and cause very adverse health impacts, for which there is extensive documentation.

Overloading Utility Poles Causes High Risk of Wildfires

Unless you have been paying very close attention to the rollout of these small cells (short for cell towers), you may not be aware that they can allow for small-refrigerator-size cabinets of heavy equipment, filled with highly flammable material (diesel or propane fuel, or lithium batteries), to be hung perilously from utility poles — or placed on the ground — closely spaced throughout our neighborhoods. In news reports of a wildfire sweeping through Santa Rosa, California, it was noted that propane generators were exploding everywhere.

Comment: Who says Americans are enamored with this tech? Only those promoting it and getting rich.
"The fact that 5G massively increases radiation exposure is also why the telecom sector has lobbied various governments — such as Brussels, Switzerland and Italy — to relax their radiation limits, because they will not be able to roll out 5G as planned otherwise."

Now years into the 5G rollout, exposure levels "exceed 1 million microwatts per square meter in peak values — which is far above what is known to cause harmful effects in terms of sleep disturbances, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, heart arrhythmia, and fatigue."

"The symptoms were already described some 50-40 years ago as the microwave syndrome or radio frequency illness. it is necessary that any risk assessment be performed by scientists that have no ties to the telecom sector or telecom-affiliated corporations.
