David Bell is hanging up his cleats at the age of 24. The Browns receiver, who played parts of three seasons in the NFL, announced the decision in a social media post Tuesday, revealing a few months ago he was “blindsided by an off-field injury that was beyond my control” and that it “put my football future in jeopardy.” He did not expand on what exactly had happened, though he said that continuing with football would “literally risk life and limb.” “After consulting with medical experts and praying, I accept that continuing to play football would literally risk life and...

Evaluation included high-level imaging, done in advance of Trump's upcoming trips overseasPresident Donald Trump is in "exceptional health," his physician said after he underwent a checkup that included lab tests and preventive health assessments at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Trump spent roughly 3 hours at the Bethesda, Maryland, hospital earlier Friday for what his doctor, Navy Capt.

A bombshell whistleblower revelation has revealed that former President Joe Biden’s administration ordered healthcare employers not to report workers’ injuries caused by the mandated Covid “vaccines.”The directive was issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a division of the U.S. Department of Labor, the whistleblower has revealed.According to documents and whistleblower testimony obtained by The Defender, the Biden-era directive was issued on June 28, 2021, shortly after Covid shots were rolled out for public use. The directive instructed employers not to log Covid injection-related adverse events, even when the injuries were serious enough to force employees off the...

A county in California wine country is beefing up its vaccine recommendations and instituting a mask mandate, citing "greater risk" of contracting COVID-19 amid the start of the annual flu season. The Sonoma County Department of Public Health's Interim Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith issued an order Monday requiring anyone entering certain healthcare facilities in the county to wear a mask. Facilities subject to the order include skilled nursing facilities, portions of long-term care facilities where nursing care is provided, acute and non-acute rehabilitation facilities, infusion centers, and dialysis centers, according to the order.

healthbot @thehealthb0t Pediatricians collect $200–$600 per fully vaccinated patient, with some making more than $1 million a year. Definitely no conflict of interest there!

Hepatitis B is transmitted through infected blood and bodily fluids, often through sexual intercourse. Why does the US health system insist that newborns receive a vaccination against an STD at birth? Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine panel plans to re-evaluate the mandate. The current recommendation states that newborns should be vaccinated against hepatitis B within the first 24 hours of birth. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, has delayed voting on updated guidelines due to the controversy. The vaccine panel voted to recommend testing for hepatitis B in pregnant women as the disease...

A district court has ruled that Matthew Warman, a former student at Mount St. Joseph University, can sue campus police for violating his Fourth Amendment rights after he was detained for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds. Warman alleged that he was subjected to harassment, including derogatory comments from police officers, when he was forcibly detained for an hour at the campus security office. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals supported Warman's claim of a plausible Fourth Amendment violation despite dismissing most of his other claims, including those related to religious discrimination. [snip] Warman, who is Catholic, objected to...

Disgraced CDC vaccine researcher Poul Thorsen was arrested in Germany after a decade on the run for fraud and money laundering. His fraudulent studies, used to dismiss vaccine-autism links, helped deny more than 5,000 injury claims while he stole nearly $1 million in CDC funds. Thorsen’s research was riddled with flaws, ethical violations, and conflicts of interest, yet the CDC continued defending it even after his crimes were exposed. Critics say his arrest reveals systemic corruption in vaccine research, where pharmaceutical influence and fraudulent science silence families of injured children. If extradited and compelled to testify, Thorsen could expose deeper...

This pioneering therapy is personalized for each colorectal cancer patient, offering a custom immunotherapy tailored to an individual's tumour profile. The...

[H/T CheshireTheCat]New VAERS study finds major signals for fetal death, preterm birth, paralysis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, heart failure, thrombocytopenia, and mini-strokes.A new peer-reviewed pharmacovigilance study just published in Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics analyzed nearly 18,000 adverse event reports tied to the three FDA-approved RSV vaccines — Pfizer’s Abrysvo, GSK’s Arexvy, and Moderna’s mRESVIA.The findings are alarming: Pfizer’s vaccine generated 103 positive safety signals, including fetal death, hemorrhage in pregnancy, and preterm birth, while GSK’s vaccine generated 91 signals, including paralysis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and mini-strokes. Both carried strong signals for immune destruction (thrombocytopenia) and serious neurological damage — in some cases appearing...

A research group funded by tech billionaire Larry Ellison is set to invest £118 million ($169.6 million) in applying AI to vaccine research with the UK's Oxford University. Oxford Vaccine Group is leading the project to study the human immune system's response to serious bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance, targeting diseases including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and E. coli. Led by Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, who ran the trials for COVID-19 vaccines, the project plans to employ so-called human challenge models – which expose human volunteers to bacteria under controlled conditions – then apply modern immunology and AI tools to...

At its heart, the story follows scientists and physicians who voice concerns about potential gaps in data transparency, risk assessment, and long-term safety - not to discredit science, but to uphold its highest standards. “We turned the body into a factory, with no clear controls.” Dr. Robert Redfield - Former CDC Director Regulators and much of the scientific community maintain that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are safe and effective. Meanwhile, the technology is rapidly expanding - from new...

Professor says he had immunity after contracting the virus so ‘it made no sense to force him to get a vaccine’ Nearly five years since the COVID-19 virus took the world by storm, those claiming injury from government vaccine mandates continue to come forward with new cases for litigation. Such is the position of Professor Russell Stewart (pictured), who lost his job after his opposition to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s vaccine mandates. Now, the professor is suing the Democrat governor and leaders of Lake Superior College, a public community college in Duluth. On Tuesday, his lawyers at the New Civil...

The Department of Health and Human Services will cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines that are being developed to fight respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary and a longtime vaccine critic, announced in a statement Tuesday that $500 million worth of vaccine development projects, all using mRNA technology, will be halted. The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation's leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and H5N1 infections.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine official, Vinay Prasad, has left the agency after just three months as Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, a government spokesperson said. Prasad, an oncologist who was a fierce critic of U.S. COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates, had been appointed in May by FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. Together they had promised to speed regulatory action and pilot new review pathways. In recent days, criticism of Prasad's tenure has intensified around the agency's handling of a gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy from Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT.O), opens new tab. The...

The appeals court held that the government may require COVID-19 shots based purely on the benefits to recipients.Defending COVID-19 policies against legal challenges, government officials relied heavily on Jacobson v. Massachusetts, a 1905 case in which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a smallpox vaccine mandate imposed by the Cambridge Board of Health. But the breadth of the license granted by that decision is a matter of dispute, even as applied to superficially similar COVID-19 vaccination requirements. Critics of those mandates argued that COVID-19 shots, unlike smallpox vaccination, do not prevent transmission of the disease, which means that requiring them...
