serious adverse events
Drug regulators and public health agencies have saturated the airways with claims that serious harms following covid vaccination are "rare."

But there has been very little scrutiny of that claim by the media, and I could not find an instance where international agencies actually quantified what they meant by the term "rare" or provided a scientific source.
covid vaccine
The best evidence so far, has been a study published in one of vaccinology's most prestigious journals, where independent researchers reanalysed the original trial data for the mRNA vaccines.

The authors, Fraiman et al, found that serious adverse events (SAEs) - i.e. adverse events that require hospitalisation - were elevated in the vaccine arm by an alarming rate - 1 additional SAE for every 556 people vaccinated with Pfizer's mRNA vaccine.

RFK Q&A
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday hosted a roundtable discussion with leading critics of prevailing health policy who debated topics ranging from public health agency capture to climate change.

Approximately 11,000 viewers watched live as Dr. Pierre Kory, Maureen McDonnell, Mikki Willis, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Patrick Gentempo, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Sayer Ji and Del Bigtree asked Kennedy, founder and chairman on leave from Children's Health Defense (CHD), a series of questions about how his administration would address key issues of concern to the medical freedom movement.

"This is the moment when the collapsing center, the disintegrating center, the dysfunctional health system finally opens up and what has so long been 'alternative' might become a new mainstream that could transform the health of this country," roundtable facilitator and author Charles Eisenstein said, kicking off the discussion.

Comment: RFK Jr.'s stance against the medical-industrial complex and his insistence on spreading truth paints him as a genuine threat against the establishment. It will be very interesting to see how far he progresses towards the 2024 elections, given that his position on both domestic and foreign issues appears to be diametrically opposed to many other candidates in his party. One thing is for sure... he will need to be very careful in the coming years so that he doesn't suffer the same fate as his father and uncle.

Japan reports world's first death from Oz virus - first cases of malaria reported in US in decades follows 2018 trial of Gates Foundation GMO mosquitoes in Florida

A woman in her 70s died in Ibaraki prefecture, northeast of Tokyo, after contracting the Oz virus, making her case the world's first death by the possibly tick-borne infection, Japanese authorities said on Friday.

The virus was discovered in the country in 2018, and while there may have been cases of humans and wild animals being infected, there had been no confirmation of its onset on a person until now, the authorities said.

The woman went to a medical institution in the summer of 2022 after developing symptoms, including fever and fatigue, according to the prefectural government and the health ministry.

Comment: In related news, just a few days later Texas reported an 'extremely rare case of locally transmitted malaria, which comes just after two similar cases in recent weeks:
"A Texas resident who spent time working outdoors in Cameron County was recently diagnosed with malaria," according to a health advisory issued Friday by t​he Texas Department of State Health Services. "DSHS has been working with local health departments to follow up on the case and determine whether other people may have been exposed. So far, no other locally acquired malaria cases have been identified in Texas."

T​he Florida cases were reported May 26 and June 19 by the health departments in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.

H​ow Rare Is Locally Acquired Malaria?

M​alaria is so unusual in the U.S. that it's considered an eradicated disease. When there are cases, it's almost always related to international travel.

B​ut the health departments in Florida and Texas said the three recent cases came from local mosquito bites.

T​he last case of locally acquired malaria in Texas was in 1994, according to the health advisory.

O​f 488 cases of malaria reported in Florida over the past decade, one other case besides the two recent ones are confirmed to have been contracted locally, according to state records.

H​ow Does Malaria Spread?

M​alaria is transmitted by certain species of female anopheles mosquitoes, which are present throughout most of the continental United States. But the disease is widely influenced by weather.

"Where malaria is found depends mainly on climatic factors such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall," the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says on its website.

B​ut scientists warn that a changing climate could push mosquito-borne diseases into new areas and increase their prevalence in places where they already exist.

Globally, the most recent numbers from the World Health Organization estimate that about 247 million people in 85 countries contracted malaria and 619,000 died in 2021. Children under the age of 5 are among the groups most vulnerable.
Coincidentally, or not, Business Insider reported back in 2018:
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is partnering with mosquito engineering company Oxitec to develop a male mosquito designed to kill off future generations of malaria-transmitting bugs.[...]

Oxitec is hoping to try out some of its other lab-made mosquitoes in the Florida Keys this summer, even though residents have in the past voiced fierce opposition to the idea.

lab grown meat
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Wednesday approved the sale of lab-grown meat for the first time, giving two California-based food technology startups the green light to sell chicken grown in a lab from animal cells, The Associated Press (AP) reported.

The approval granted to Upside Foods and Good Meat — the first two companies to go through the regulatory approval process — makes the U.S. the second country in the world, behind Singapore, to allow sales of lab-grown or so-called "cultivated" meat.

Pro basketball player who previously blamed COVID vaccine for rare heart condition dies of heart attack

Cabrera Adames
Professional Dominican basketball player Óscar Cabrera Adames died this week after an apparent heart attack while he was possibly undergoing a stress test.

According to a social media post from Dominican sports commentator Héctor Gómez, the 28-year-old's stress test was being performed at a health center in Santo Domingo.

Cabrera Adames is believed to have suffered from myocarditis. The disease can weaken the heart and its electrical system, which decreases the heart's ability to pump blood, according to the American Heart Association.

Following his death, social media posts surfaced in which Cabrera Adames suggested he developed the rare heart disease after he received two doses of a COVID vaccine.

"I got a damn Myocarditis from taking a f---ing vaccine. (I got 2 doses of Pfizer) And I knew it! Many people warned me," Cabrera Adames wrote on social media.

Covid vaccines, the frail elderly, and "healthy vaccinee" bias

Covid-19 mRNA Vaccine
The prevailing narrative tells us that vaccinating the frail and elderly against Covid had a dramatic effect on mortality. How strong is the presumed effect of a Covid vaccine in that vulnerable population? Is it as strong as many believe, or perhaps much closer to zero than to the other end of the scale?

First, there is bad news to share, even before estimating any possible benefit.

Data from Denmark, Israel, and Sweden show increased risk of infection within one week or so after the first dose. Possible mechanisms include transient immunosuppression (decreased lymphocyte count), conversion of asymptomatic infection to symptomatic infection, and infection at vaccination sites. News outlets in Israel reported outbreaks of Covid infections in nursing homes shortly after the initiation of the vaccination campaign, and again after initiating the booster campaign (use Google Translate). Needless to say, when the risk of infection increases, the risk of death increases too.

Skipping the hazard period, studies of vaccine effectiveness (thereafter, VE) reported a remarkable result that should have surprised knowledgeable readers. Estimates for the elderly have been extremely high, sometimes similar to those for younger age groups. For instance, a study in Israel of elderly residents of long-term care facilities reported VE of 85% against Covid death.

That is not only contrary to basic knowledge from immunology but is also incompatible with the following observation:

Shane Warne's death precipitated by Covid mRNA vaccine say leading doctors


The Daily Sceptic

Shane Warne
Leading doctors have concluded that the death of legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne was likely precipitated by the Covid mRNA vaccine that he had taken approximately nine months prior to his sudden cardiac death. His post mortem findings revealed coronary atherosclerosis.

Cardiologists Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Dr. Chris Neil, who is President of the Australian Medical Professionals Society, have concluded that the Covid vaccine can cause a rapid acceleration of coronary disease especially in those that may already have undetected mild disease. Dr. Malhotra has further concerns that the Covid mRNA vaccines may be masking angina by damaging heart nerves, resulting in patients not experiencing the chest pain that typically precedes a diagnosis of severe blockages in the heart arteries, leading to detection not occurring until it's too late, with the first symptoms often presenting as a cardiac arrest.

Cold-weather accounts for almost all temperature-related deaths

Graveyard in Winter
With the number of extreme weather days rising around the globe in recent years due to global warming, it is no surprise that there has been an upward trend in hospital visits and admissions for injuries caused by high heat over the last several years. But cold temperatures are responsible for almost all temperature-related deaths, according to a new study published in the journal Environmental Research.

According to the new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago, patients who died because of cold temperatures were responsible for 94% of temperature-related deaths, even though hypothermia was responsible for only 27% of temperature-related hospital visits.

"With the decrease in the number of cold weather days over the last several decades, we still see more deaths due to cold weather as opposed to hot weather," said Lee Friedman, associate professor of environmental and occupational health sciences in the UIC School of Public Health and corresponding author on the paper. "This is in part due to the body's poorer ability to thermoregulate once hypothermia sets in, as well as since there are fewer cold weather days overall, people don't have time to acclimate to cold when those rarer cold days do occur."

Comment: Cold kills a lot more people than heat, yet the focus is on heat related deaths. A cooling climate would be much more devastating than a warming climate and despite the current MSM hype, a cooling could well be on the cards if not already underway.

no vaccine
In recent times, concerns have been raised about the potential impact of Covid vaccines on heart health. Dr. Thomas Levy, a renowned US cardiologist, has shed light on this issue, suggesting that a significant number of Americans may have experienced heart damage as a result of vaccination. In this article, we delve into Dr. Levy's findings and discuss the implications they raise.

The Scope of Potential Heart Damage

Dr. Levy believes that a minimum of 7 million Americans have suffered heart damage due to Covid vaccines. While it is difficult to ascertain the exact number, he suggests that over 100 million people in the United States may have some degree of heart damage that can be detected using a Troponin test. This raises concerns about the potential long-term impact on the cardiovascular health of vaccinated individuals.
