A scary new "Covid" variant? What year is this?

There's a new Covid variant "surging through" Asia, according to this headline. It has already spread to the US and Europe as well, according to this article.

I'm guessing the word "surging" was in the circulated memo, because it appears in almost every article about this.

All of which makes me ask...


This might seem like a non sequitur, but I'm going somewhere.

Did you know that Disney's cynical monetization of nostalgia has seen them so aggressively work through their back catalogue of animated classics they are now releasing a live action remake of Moana, a film that's less than ten years old, and which had an animated sequel released only last year?

Have you tried following the MCU lately? What was once a massive project of coordinated story telling, a broad church working on a shared agenda to a singular end point, has now collapsed into a shapeless, pointless exercise in repetitive re-invention, insincere self-mockery and hopelessly clumsy political messaging.

Are you seeing what I'm saying here?

  • A new study suggests that vitamin D supplementation may help preserve the lengths of the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes known as telomeres.
  • Researchers say maintaining the length of telomeres may help slow some aspects of biological aging.
  • Telomere length is an important component of healthy aging, but the role vitamin D can play isn't yet certain.
A new study reports that vitamin D supplementation may help slow some of the mechanisms of biological aging.

The research, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggests that vitamin D may help maintain the stability of telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes that tend to shorten as people get older.

That shortening is a natural part of aging, but it has been linked to certain age-related diseases. Among those diseases are cancer of the bladder, lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal systems.

"Our findings suggest that targeted vitamin D supplementation may be a promising strategy to counter a biological aging process, although further research is warranted," said Haidong Zhu, MD, PhD, the first author of the study and a molecular geneticist at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University, in a statement.

Experts agree the new research is interesting, but they note it has its limits.

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people.

Scientists have identified never-before-seen cells in the human eye that could potentially help reverse vision loss caused by common diseases, such as macular degeneration.

The researchers discovered the cells in the retina, a light-sensitive structure at the back of the eye that is vital for vision. The cells were found in donated samples of fetal tissue.

The scientists also identified the same cells in lab-grown models of the human retina — and when they tried transplanting those models into mice with a common eye disorder, it restored the rodents' vision.

"This research not only deepens our understanding of retinal biology but also holds immense potential for advancing therapeutic interventions in RD [retinal degeneration] diseases," the researchers wrote in a paper describing the findings, which was published March 26 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Best of the Web: The strange but true story of how smoking bans paved the way for Global Government

The WHO
After years of scamdemic hype and veiled threats, the World Health Organization (WHO) have finalized their pandemic treaty.

Formally referred to as the "WHO Pandemic Agreement," the document reflects years of wrangling, cajoling and horse trading among the globalist technocrats. And now that the negotiations are over, their control over the global health space can now be hardwired into international law.

There are reasons to be relieved that the document is not as bad as it could have been. As some are pointing out, the latest draft of the agreement has been significantly defanged, with the most egregious language about mandatory enforcement and WHO sovereignty having been removed. Even better, the relevance of this agreement to Americans has been lessened by the recent executive order withdrawing the US from the WHO.


Comment: For now.


But for those of us concerned about the establishment of world government, we are not out of the woods yet. There are provisions in this agreement that will allow the would-be global health tyrants to expand beyond the boundaries of the current draft text and to assume the dictatorial powers that their critics (like yours truly) have been warning the treaty would bestow on the WHO.

What's worse, what can be undone with the stroke of Trump's presidential pen (or robopen) can be redone with the stroke of a presidential pen (or robopen), and it would be the height of naïveté to assume that the next puppet to occupy the Oval Office won't immediately sign the US back on to the agreement.

So, is this the start of a global governmental system of technocratic health control? And, if it is, what does that mean for the future of humanity?

In order to answer that question, we're going to have to go back to the roots of the WHO's power grab. And that story, it turns out, starts in a most unexpected place . . .

Comment: More from the Corbett Report and James Corbett's associated Substack, can be found here and here.

As for the WHO, it has always had powerful backers for reasons not hard to discern:

FDA outlines stricter Covid vaccine booster approval standards

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday outlined new regulatory guidance for future Covid-19 vaccine boosters, setting stricter approval standards for healthy Americans.

The agency said it wants to see new clinical trials showing Covid shots are still safe and effective before approving them for healthy adults and children, a costly new requirement for pharmaceutical companies that could limit who gets new jabs each year. Previously, the FDA typically approved updated Covid shots for all Americans each year based on simple tests that show they trigger a strong enough antibody response.

"The truth is that for most of that, for many Americans, we simply do not know the answer to whether or not they should be getting the seven or eight or nine or ten, as the current policy would have us" do, said Vinay Prasad, an outspoken critic of the pharmaceutical industry who was appointed to lead the agency's division that oversees vaccines, during a town hall on Tuesday.

The Trump administration is backing away from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations to vaccinate children and pregnant women against COVID-19, according to a new report.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is planning to pull federal recommendations that these groups get the COVID vaccine as a routine measure, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

The CDC currently recommends that everyone aged 6 months and older get vaccinated, but that guidance may be scrapped in the coming days.

Flashback What can the smallpox vaccine disaster teach us about spike protein injuries?

Reviewing the critical but largely forgotten lessons from early pioneers in medicine

When you study history, it is always striking how frequently dysfunctional cycles tend to repeat themselves — which is why many of us were able to foresee much of what came to pass with the disastrous COVID-19 vaccines. Medicine has its fair share of erroneous beliefs (which frequently have little to no evidence supporting them). Sadly, my profession has held tightly onto them for centuries regardless of the problems those beliefs create and I believe the vaccination meme is one of the most harmful ones.

In this article, I will aim to show how the smallpox vaccine campaign was an unmitigated disaster which severe injured people across the world, and more importantly made smallpox worse not better — a situation with numerous uncanny parallels to what we observed throughout COVID-19, particularly since both of those vaccines had similar "inexplicable" ways of injuring the body.

Singapore's draconian vaccine mandate: Citizens face jail time for refusing FORCED medical procedures

Singapore's descent into medical tyranny

In a shocking move that tramples on fundamental human rights, Singapore has amended its Infectious Diseases Act (IDA) to force medical procedures on its citizens under threat of imprisonment. The amendments, enacted in 2023 and 2024, grant the Director-General of Health unchecked power to mandate vaccines — even in the absence of an active outbreak — while stripping citizens of legal protections against government overreach.

Under Sections 47, 65, and 67 of the IDA, Singaporeans who refuse government-ordered vaccinations can be fined up to 10,000 (SGD) or jailed for six months for a first "offense."

Repeat offenders face double the penalties, with fines up to 20,000 and a year behind bars. Worse yet, Section 67 absolves government officials of all liability, meaning citizens harmed by forced medical interventions have no legal recourse.

A direct assault on medical freedom and informed consent

The amendments represent a blatant violation of the Nuremberg Code, which established the principle of voluntary, informed consent after the atrocities of Nazi medical experiments. The Singaporean government now wields the power to force medical treatments on its people without accountability, echoing the darkest chapters of medical tyranny.

Dr. Smith, a vocal critic of forced vaccination policies, condemned the law: "Current disparate treatment runs rife across this nation, spreading like wildfire. It demands in exchange for job security and participation in society the injection of medical treatments that lack both FDA approval and legal recourse when damaging side effects occur. This is draconian at best and criminal at worst."

Singapore's People's Power Party (PPP) has also raised alarms. PPP politician Derrick Sim, a biotechnology and vaccine manufacturing expert, slammed the law in an April 14 Facebook post: "Section 47, 65, and 67 of the Infectious Disease Act were amended and in effect since 2023. If you choose not to go for vaccination during the next pandemic, you will be deemed to commit an offense. You will be criminalized. The penalty for first-time offense is 6 months imprisonment or up to $10,000 fine, or both. Do you support this ridiculous law?"

The head of Florida's Department of Health, Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, has revealed that Pfizer's Covid mRNA "vaccine" killed over 470,000 Americans.

The alarming finding was revealed in Florida's official data.

Florida's Health Department collaborated with scientists from the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to investigate surges in all-cause mortality rates in the state.

The researchers found that Pfizer's mRNA "vaccine" in particular caused dramatic increases in deaths from all causes, including COVID-19, non-Covid, and cardiovascular.

Alarmingly, the study confirmed that Covid mRNA "vaccines" triggered a global surge in all-cause mortality rates.

The study found that people who got the Pfizer vaccine had a stunning 36% increase in their all-cause mortality when compared to those who received Moderna's mRNA injection. This increased risk lasts for at least a year after the "vaccine" was administered.

UK: NHS 'will test all children who believe they are trans for autism'

Pediatrician Dr Hilary Cass tavistock gender dysphoria

The NHS will test all children who believe they are transgender for autism, it emerged last night.

Following Baroness Cass's review into gender identity for young people last year, NHS England has made revisions that could see every child referred to a gender clinic 'holistically assessed for neurodevelopmental conditions'.

The move comes after the review by Cass found mental health conditions were significantly more likely to appear in children who say they have gender dysphoria.

And now the plans, which were first reported by The Telegraph, will allegedly see medics evaluate each child's mental health, their relationship with family and their sexual development.

Comment: From The Telegraph:
The new NHS Children and Young People's Gender Service will explore eight key areas of a child's life.

To assess "development", doctors will take a "detailed history" of the child's social, cognitive and physical growth, particularly because of the "substantial" changes that take place during puberty.

They will screen children for autism and learning disabilities and look into whether further "cognitive assessments" are necessary.

The specification says: "Given the high prevalence of neurodiversity identified within this population, all those attending the NHS Children and Young People's Gender Service should receive screening for neurodevelopmental conditions."

The "multidisciplinary team" of experts, including a consultant specialising in neurodevelopmental disorders, will create a treatment plan for each individual depending on their diagnosis.

If screening "identifies the presence of neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a referral should be considered to the Paediatric Neurodevelopmental Service or Paediatric ASD Service," the guidance states.

In such cases, the team of doctors will have to determine if the child's symptoms are caused by autism or whether they also need separate treatment for gender dysphoria.

They could also be kept under review every six months while getting help for their autism or discharged from the service.
Is the UK finally making a slow return to sanity?

Baroness Hilary Cass, author of the Cass Review, deserves whatever Britain's equivalent of the Medal of Freedom is for her brave, principled work on behalf of vulnerable children
