Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly claimed the Pfizer COVID vaccine left her with an auto-immune disorder in explosive new comments on her latest podcast episode Wednesday.

Kelly, 54, said she was left with an "autoimmune condition" after receiving a two-shot regimen of the Pfizer vaccine and then a follow-up booster in 2021 as the Omicron variant arrived in NYC.
"I wish I hadn't done it, but I did," Kelly said, clarifying that doctors were unable to determine exactly what she was suffering from, but that they told her it could well have been caused by the vaccine.

"I asked the rheumatologist if it could be linked to the Pfizer vaccine and booster, and she said, 'Yes, and you're not the only patient I have who's had this sequence of events."

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has paused a multimillion-dollar contract from the Biden administration to create a new COVID-19 vaccine, Fox News Digital has learned.

"While it is crucial that the Department [of] Health and Human Services (HHS) support pandemic preparedness, four years of the Biden administration's failed oversight have made it necessary to review agreements for vaccine production, including Vaxart's," Kennedy said in comments provided to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

"I look forward to working with Vaxart and medical experts to ensure this work produces safe, effective, and fiscal-minded vaccine technology."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday ended its "Wild to Mild" campaign that promoted flu vaccines, especially to pregnant women and children, NPR reported.

CDC officials announced the change during a staff meeting, according to NPR, which cited two anonymous CDC staff members as its source.

The decision originated with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which "took a second look" at the campaign and decided to pull it.

Covid vaccines linked to alarming new syndrome causing 'distinct biological changes': Yale scientists

covid vaccines
Experts from Yale University have discovered an alarming syndrome linked to the mRNA Covid vaccines.

The previously-unknown condition - dubbed 'post-vaccination syndrome' - appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance.

Some sufferers also show distinct biological changes, including differences in immune cells and the presence of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot.

The condition also appears to reawaken a dormant virus in the body called Epstein-Barr which can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and nerve issues.

Comment: Spoken like a true psychopath. Right from the start of the vax campaign the VAERS system was overwhelmed with reports of injuries, sometimes immediately after injection. Offit conveniently ignores that fact. Any "clinical trial" showing the dangers were buried.

Covid vaccine faces ban for all Americans in radical U-turn by Trump team

trump and rfk
Covid vaccines could be suspended for all age groups in America under radical new plans backed by key health figures in the Trump Administration.

Several experts poised for top jobs in US health agencies subscribe to the disputed idea the shots are causing widespread side effects and deaths.

Dr Jay Bhattacharya, who has been nominated to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has backed a petition calling for the mRNA vaccines to be paused and retested, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Comment: These news outlets are utterly shameless. One moment, they're highlighting the side effects of the vaccines, and the next, they're attacking anyone who seeks to protect people from those very risks or help address the lingering harm. Obviously, they don't genuinely care about people — it's all about making profit and preserving the status quo. See also:

Decoding Medical Doublespeak

Your handy pocket guide to translating the language of Corporatized Orthodox Medicine.
Medical Doublespeak
© Eclectic Healing
In 1900, 2% of U.S. GDP went to healthcare, but today it consumes nearly 19%. Meanwhile, expected longevity has started declining, and we are in the midst of an avalanche of rapidly proliferating chronic diseases, with no end in sight. People are getting sicker at a younger age. We are spending a lot more, and getting a lot less for our money.

Something is clearly wrong with the system, and has been for a long, long time. Add it all together, and it is clear that our healthcare system operates under a very flawed and failing paradigm, which fails to meet the needs of the majority of people that it serves.

The following is offered as a means of comprehending why, in 2024, U.S. healthcare costs were the highest in the world, yet in 2023 we were ranked as the 69th best healthcare system on the planet (down from 37th a little more than a decade ago).1

So far, Google Translate hasn't gotten around to translating this particular language, so I felt the need to present this the old-fashioned way, as a brief printed translation guide. If there are any Google Engineers out there who want to help Make America Healthy Again (or, the Earth for that matter), you have my permission to use any of the following in a future Medical Doublespeak Google Translate app. Ideally, artificial intelligence can be employed to translate medical doublespeak in real time, and thus render completely harmless such heinous and destructive lies, innuendos and half-truths.

Fortunately for all of us, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., over his many years of challenging corporate vested interests, has had to become completely fluent in Medical Doublespeak. He will need that vital skill as he starts work as the new head of Health and Human Services in the U.S. If he had the time and inclination, I suspect he could do a vastly better and more complete treatment of this topic, than I have with this humble attempt.

Taking a break from smartphones: Study confirms its benefits

A month-long randomized control trial confirms that reducing the time spent on smartphones to access the internet makes people happier and more focused.

On average, Americans spend almost five hours a day using their smartphones, and half of Americans who use smartphones worry they use their devices too much. Noah Castelo and colleagues sought to determine whether constant access to the Internet through smartphones harms cognitive functioning and mental health. Their results are published in PNAS Nexus.

The authors recruited 467 participants from Prolific.co, an online labor pool, to install an app on their iPhones that blocked all internet access on their phones. Half the participants had their phones blocked for the first two weeks, during which time the other half of participants functioned as a control. The groups switched treatments for the second two-week period.

Why is WHO vaccinating so many Gazans, multiple times?

Information about covid vaccination programmes in Gaza is scant. The World Health Organisation ("WHO") doesn't provide clear data and available information often combines Gaza and the West Bank as "Palestine." In short, details of the aid being sent to Gaza is shrouded in mystery.

Before 7 October 2023, covid vaccination rates in Gaza were low; initially 5% and at the last count up to 40% of the population had been vaccinated while WHO said that at least 60%-70% of the population must be vaccinated.

From the scant information available, it is clear there has been a concerted effort, particularly by WHO, to push for covid vaccinations in Gaza, despite the population being vaccine-hesitant.

Following WHO's covid vaccine drive, there was a polio vaccine drive. The vaccines used are novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2), which was developed with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to combat the polio emergency created by the previous oral polio vaccine.

Patient defies genetic fate to avoid Alzheimer's disease

Study offers clues to treatment, prevention

Doug Whitney, who lives near Seattle, Wash., inherited a mutation that has caused many family members to develop Alzheimer's disease at about age 50, yet he shows no sign of the illness at age 75. His case is the subject of a new study by WashU Medicine researchers that aims to identify potential routes to preventing or treating Alzheimer's based on Whitney's exceptional resilience to the disease.

Remarkably, Doug Whitney, 75, has escaped genetic destiny. Like many members of his family, Whitney inherited a rare genetic mutation that all but guarantees he would develop early-onset Alzheimer's disease. But Whitney, whose relatives first showed symptoms of cognitive decline in their early 50s, remains mentally sharp with no signs of the devastating disease, and a new study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis helps explain why.

Their findings, published Feb. 10, 2025, in Nature Medicine, point to potential therapeutic avenues to explore to help protect against the development of Alzheimer's.

Comment: Mr. Whitney is still actively exercising his cognitive faculties, as evidenced by his use of word puzzles games. This was noted as a positive factor in the famous 'Nun Study', begun in the early 1980s

His long-term exposure to a physically stressful environment also seems to be playing a part in his cognitive health. Wikipedia has this to say about heat shock proteins:
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of proteins produced by cells in response to exposure to stressful conditions. They were first described in relation to heat shock,[1] but are now known to also be expressed during other stresses including exposure to cold,[2] UV light[3] and during wound healing or tissue remodeling.[4] Many members of this group perform chaperone functions by stabilizing new proteins to ensure correct folding or by helping to refold proteins that were damaged by the cell stress.[5] This increase in expression is transcriptionally regulated. The dramatic upregulation of the heat shock proteins is a key part of the heat shock response and is induced primarily by heat shock factor (HSF).[6] HSPs are found in virtually all living organisms, from bacteria to humans.

As calls to ban mRNA shots intensify worldwide, a growing number of U.S. states and communities are eyeing laws to prohibit or pause their use.

A bill introduced Tuesday in the Kentucky House of Representatives would ban until July 1, 2035, the administration of "any human gene therapy product for any infectious disease indication, regardless of whether the administration is termed an immunization, vaccine, or any other term."

Lawmakers in Idaho and Montana recently introduced similar bills. Legislative initiatives are in the planning stages or have been passed at the county level in at least four other states, including Iowa, South Carolina, Texas and Washington.
