A man carries a child walk out from a crowded holding room of a children's hospital in Beijing. A surge in respiratory illnesses across China has drawn the attention of the world.
Chinese hospitals are struggling. Personnel at medical facilities across the country are stressed as they keep pace with the high number of patients, especially children, suffering from bacterial pneumonia.

And it seems that this strain of bacterial pneumonia now dubbed White Lung Syndrome is also rearing its ugly head in the United States. Doctors in parts of Massachusetts and Ohio are reporting a spike in child pneumonia cases similar to the outbreak spreading in China.

We take a closer look at the cases in the US, and examine if it has a link to China. Moreover, we also see how this strain is also being detected in other countries and if there's a larger risk.

White Lung Syndrome outbreak in US

Warren County, in Ohio, has recorded a spike in hospitalisations with children reporting to have the mysterious pneumonia, which has been dubbed as the 'white lung syndrome', since August.

According to health officials in Warren County, there have been 142 paediatric cases of the condition. The officials said on Wednesday, "Not only is this above the county average, it also meets the Ohio Department of Health definition of an outbreak."

New Zealand whistleblower data leaks data suggesting specific Covid vaccine batches caused higher mortality: Legit leak or limited hangout?

Barry Young was arrested December 3, 2023 for releasing data shedding light on the number of New Zealand deaths that may be related to the covid vaccine
By now, almost everyone has heard of the 'New Zealand whistleblower data'. Many people are discussing it, and I want to weigh in with my sceptical opinion. While I oppose Covid vaccines, I owe my subscribers a duty to report truthfully. My post should not be interpreted as 'pro-vaccine advocacy'.

Be aware that the 'leaked New Zealand data' is problematic; even the story accompanying it is less than entirely believable.

I spent an entire day analysing it.

I downloaded it as a CSV file, uploaded it to my MySQL database server, and analysed it. As I will show...
  • The 'whistleblower data' is missing huge chunks of information that should logically be present
  • Liz Gunn of NZ is misinterpreting it by trying to pass normal nursing home deaths as evidence of "super deadly batches" and "mass vaccine casualties"
  • The data has problems that are incompatible with the story of its origin. It cannot be a full snapshot from a working payment database. Therefore, the story of its origin is suspect
  • The actual vaccine casualties may reside in the missing pieces of data that the 'database' does not provide

Comment: The NZ government is sure acting twitchy about it all, eh? One wonders if there's panic over what kind of info would shake out of a complete database?

Admin who oversaw New Zealand's CoVaxx datasbase ARRESTED for leaking official numbers on high-mortality Covid 'vaccine' batches

Barry Young hauled before a judge, December 3rd
A statistician has been arrested in New Zealand for allegedly leaking health data connected to the rollout of the coronavirus vaccination. Barry Young, a former employee of New Zealand's government health agency Te Whatu Ora, is accused of "unauthorised disclosure and misuse of data."

The 56-year-old is alleged to have uploaded the leaked information online claiming to have uncovered ties between specific coronavirus vaccine batches and high mortality rates. His claims have been debunked by data experts who say Mr Young did not properly adjust the data set to account for age.

New Zealand's Health Minister Shane Ret has branded the allegations "extremely concerning". He continued: "There are many conspiracy theorists out there who unfortunately disseminate harmful disinformation, however as a Minister and as a physician, the public can and should continue to have confidence in vaccines. I am reassured by experts confirming that there is no evidence supporting the allegations that have been made."


Comment: If there's nothing to hide, why has your former employee been arrested?


Comment: The latest is that Mr Young has been granted bail.

Here's a video of him explaining what he began noticing when he set up NZ's Covid vaccine 'pay-per-dose' system:

Singapore reports 10% spike in new HIV infections

Singapore saw 10 per cent more newly diagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases among residents in the first 10 months of 2023 than it did during the same period last year, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Friday (Dec 1).

A total of 188 cases were reported between January and October, MOH said in an update on the HIV and AIDS situation in the country.

This comes after three consecutive years of declining cases, with last year's number - 202 cases - being the lowest since 1998. There were 250 new HIV infections in 2021, 261 in 2020, and 323 in 2019.


Comment: So people abstained during, and just following lockdowns, thus resulting in lower rates of infection?


Comment: Meanwhile rates of syphilis and gonorrhea are reported to be spiking in other developed nations; could these spikes be a consequence of people becoming more promiscuous and lax following lockdowns, and/or could there be an added effect of the immuno-compromising experimental covid injections?

Professor Dame Jenny Harries (pictured), who now heads up the UK Health Security Agency, said that the evidence that face coverings reduce the spread of viruses is 'uncertain' because it is difficult to separate their effect from other Covid curbs
They may have even had OPPOSITE effect on spread through 'false sense of security'

There is no solid proof masks ever slowed the spread of Covid, England's former deputy chief medical officer said today.

Professor Dame Jenny Harries, who now heads up the UK Health Security Agency, said the evidence that coverings reduced transmission is 'uncertain' because it is difficult to separate their effect from other Covid curbs. She also told the UK's Covid inquiry that government advice on how to make a mask using two pieces of cloth was 'ineffective'.

Studies showed at least three were needed for even a small effect on the spread of viruses, Dame Jenny said.

Meanwhile, she warned advice for the public to wear masks during the pandemic may even have given people a 'false sense of security' that they could reduce their risk of becoming infected if they wore one while mixing with others.

Comment: We all knew it was a bad idea, but here's some reminders of why:

Netherlands reports similar 'alarming surge in pneumonia', predates China outbreak

netherlands pneumonia

The Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research (NIVEL) said, by the week ending November 16, 103 per 100,000 children aged five to 14 had been diagnosed with pneumonia (shown in blue dotted line). At the peak last year, there were just 58 cases per 100,000
An alarming spike in pneumonia cases among children has been detected in the Netherlands, mirroring a similar surge in China.

Dutch health experts say a striking number have been sickened since rates began soaring in August, with most cases among those aged five to 14.

Surveillance data shows rates of the illness, which can prove life-threatening, are already nearly twice as high as the peak recorded last year.

Comment: With vast numbers of people suffering from naive, and compromised, immune systems; with the cost of living crisis pushing even the most basic of health foods out of reach for increasing numbers of people; in addition to what looks like an unsually cold winter up ahead, and amidst soaring energy costs due to a self-inflicted energy crisis, the situation is surely ripe for outbreaks of illness and disease:

Are COVID Jab Deaths Being Covered Up?

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the agency "is actively engaged in safety surveillance" of the COVID shots. They also claim that medical doctors and epidemiologists at the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "continuously screen and analyze" reports filed with the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) "to identify potential signals that would indicate the need for further study."1 Facts suggest otherwise.

Even officials at the FDA itself have stated that VAERS is not operating as intended, and that safety signals are not being addressed. Among them are Peter Marks, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and Narayan Nair, the FDA division director who oversees VAERS.

Both spoke to investigative reporter Jennifer Block, whose article on the failures of VAERS was published in The BMJ in November 2023.2

Health officials are investigating the first confirmed case of a new strain of swine flu in the UK.

The A(H1N2)v infection was detected in a routine flu screening test at a GP surgery in North Yorkshire.

Officials said the person had respiratory symptoms, a mild illness and had fully recovered.

They are not known to have worked with pigs and investigations will look at where the infection came from and its risk to human health.

Captain Shane Murdock: M. Aviation (Human Factors), (Swinburne University), Cert. Human Factors for Aviation Investigators, (ATSB), Cert. Air Accident Investigation, (Uni. So. California), Airline Transport Pilot Licence Holder for 42 years, Over 22,000 flying hours experience, Airline Captain 31 years, most recently for Virgin Australia for the past 20 years.
CAPTAIN Shane Murdock says the air industry is 'poised on the precipice of disaster'. A pilot for more than 40 years and a qualified air accident investigator, he has found official data that back up his claim of impending global catastrophe. He adds:
"When correlated, the data indicate there is an enormous problem that is having, and will have, a significant impact on aviation safety worldwide. There is enough evidence to be sending out red flags."
There have been many tragedies this year. Phil Thomas, a young graduate of the Cadiz, Spain, flight training academy, fell ill and died suddenly in April. There were five pilot incapacitations in March including a British Airways pilot who collapsed and died in Cairo, Egypt not long before he was due to fly.

Pilots are super-fit, so why are so many dying suddenly or collapsing? Cpt Murdock concludes they are suffering severe adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccinations, which has myocarditis (heart inflammation), brain fog, insomnia, blood clots and anaphylaxis as side effects.

He thinks some pilots are ticking timebombs and claims many are not declaring ill-health. He said:
"They are not reporting brain fog, heart flutters and dizzy spells because they don't want to lose their jobs."

Comment: Go here for sample listings of pilot incapacitations and deaths on/off duty from Jan-Sept 2023.

Scandalous: How the UK government shut down its Ethics Committee after it tried to intervene on the vaccination of children

child covid vaccination
In our new book published this week — The Accountability Deficit — we reveal that senior officials at the Department for Health and Social Care sidelined and then demobilised the Government's committee of expert ethics advisors at the height of the pandemic and following a series of unwelcome challenges to the Government's policy ambitions.

With a trail of evidence lifted from official published records, we document the brief life and premature demise of the Government's expert group of moral and ethical advisors known as MEAG. Two former members of MEAG agreed to be interviewed and quoted about what happened, provided they were not named.

UsForThem - the organisation we founded to raise awareness of the plight of children and young people in the pandemic - approached almost all of the major U.K. daily and Sunday newspapers with this story. Most of them acknowledged its significance. Three were keen to publish articles. Two got as far as writing it up, and one proposed to run it on the front page. In each case though, the story was dropped at the last minute without a cogent explanation. This is odd, because the paper trail for the entirety of this story is in public records and so is capable of full verification.
