BRUSSELS/BANGKOK, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Tens of millions of migrants may be denied COVID-19 vaccines from a global programme because some major manufacturers are worried about legal risks from harmful side effects, according to officials and internal documents from Gavi, the charity operating the programme, reviewed by Reuters.

Democrats are threatening hardball tactics as they try to break a blockade by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) that has left dozens of President Biden’s State Department nominees in limbo. Democrats and the conservative firebrand are struggling to make progress toward an agreement that would trade votes on some of Biden’s ambassador nominees for a vote on sanctions related to the construction of the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline, a longstanding goal for Cruz, who has ensnared nominations across the State Department, the Treasury Department and the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID). Absent a deal, Democrats are warning that they...

When Patch Tuesday rolls around, we can usually expect a series of Windows problems to be fixed (and perhaps to see some new ones introduced), as well as new features added. But Microsoft also uses such updates to take things away -- and this is precisely what has happened with the latest updates for Windows 10 and 11.Microsoft, quite understandably, would like everyone to use its Edge browser, and has taken endless steps to ensure that it stays the default browser on as many computers as possible. With the latest operating system updates -- specifically the KB5008212 and KB5008215 updates...

At the Los Angeles Auto Show this November, Dodge shocked the auto world when it announced the end of one of its iconic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The V8-powered, 717-horsepower beast is revered by performance enthusiasts and has vaulted Dodge to the #2 best-selling sportscar behind the mighty Ford Mustang. Dodge’s huge fan base vented their disapproval on Internet forums. But, buyer be damned, Hellcat doesn’t fit into bureaucrats’ vision of what Americans should be driving. Hellcat’s emissions footprint isn’t sustainable under federal rules. Dodge will introduce an electric muscle car early next year as the US government imposes the...

@Breaking911 BREAKING: US health advisers recommend Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines over J&J shot because of rare but serious blood clot side effect - AP

NBC’s evening news show had the gall to ignore a narrative-shattering statement on inflation by former “transitory” apologist and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell during its evening broadcast last night. Powell stated during a press briefing Dec. 15 that “[O]ne of the two big threats to getting back to maximum employment is actually high inflation.” This is a seismic shift away from the Powell Fed’s repeated false assertions over this year that skyrocketing inflation would only be temporary. The Fed is expected to institute thee rate hikes in 2022, according to Bloomberg News. In response to Powell’s statement, Raymond James...

CRT ForeverRacial tribalism doesn’t have to be part of the curriculum to dominate education.“Please keep your cameras on: we’re watching to make sure you’re paying attention.”Our racial equity training is a 16-hour-long affair. It starts with denunciations of capitalism, the United States, and various aspects of “white culture.” You are encouraged to ask questions, but if anyone is brave or foolish enough to complicate the approved narratives, he will practically be laughed to scorn. How could you be so obtuse as not to see the centuries of racism you’re responsible for?On day two, before bringing things to a close, participants...

Of all the year’s political drama, the most surprising may be the U.S. government’s actions on unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs — better known as UFOs. The opening act came in June, when the Pentagon and the director of national intelligence delivered an astonishing report to Congress addressing UAPs. Most of these phenomena turn out to have prosaic explanations — such as weather balloons, space debris and atmospheric effects in the sky — with a small percentage exhibiting unusual flight characteristics that suggest advanced technology. The June report, however, found the opposite: It could account for only one of the...

My friends at the CCCA put together a superb slide deck showing the dangers of the Pfizer COVID vaccine. The Moderna and J&J vaccines are even worse.Steve Kirsch13 hr ago 20382 Please check out this superb presentation, more harm than good, assembled by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA).Many highly qualified scientists and physicians contributed to and/or approved this. It is based on rock-solid scientific data. Most importantly, the core data set is Pfizer's own results from their recently published six-month update report on their clinical trial.As I have pointed out in my presentations as well, Pfizer tried to 'bury'...

A seventh Republican governor is asking Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to reconsider COVID-19 vaccination requirements for National Guard members. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent a letter to the Defense Department on Thursday, two days after the governors of Alaska, Mississippi, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming sent a similar letter to Austin. The secretary has said that unvaccinated Guardsmen will be barred from participating in Title 32 training, including monthly drill weekends, and any pay for those days will be withheld. “The State of Texas will not enforce this latest COVID-19 vaccine mandate against its guardsmen,” Abbott wrote. “If the federal government...

A Virginia hospital can’t stand in the way of a family’s preference to be treated for COVID-19 with the drug ivermectin, which is not approved for treating the virus, a judge ruled. Kathy and Don Davies were rushed to Fauquier Hospital Oct. 9 suffering serious COVID-19 symptoms.

At a City Council meeting, Lightfoot introduced an ordinance that would prohibit Chicago restaurants from serving or marketing pop and other sugary drinks as the “default beverage” with kids meals. Parents would still be able to request sugary drinks for their children.Why can't parents have that SAME SAY for the VAXX????

Russia has submitted draft documents outlining security arrangements it wants to negotiate with the US and its Nato allies amid spiralling tensions over Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said a senior Russian envoy stood ready to leave immediately for talks on the proposal in a neutral country. Mr Peskov told reporters that Russian President Vladimir Putin may have another call with US President Joe Biden before the year’s end to discuss the security issue, but he said it had not been agreed to yet. In a video call with Mr Putin last week, Mr Biden voiced concern about a build-up...

The censorship overlords at YouTube have apparently continued their digital war with comedian and political commentator Steven Crowder. Crowder posted a purported snapshot of a notice from the liberal streaming platform informing him that it deleted his recent Louder with Crowder episode headlined, “The LEFT Hates Elon Musk Because He's Too Based!" The purported notice from YouTube said, "Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our hate speech policy." Crowder responded on Instagram, "Well well well… Rumble and #MugClub it is!! INCOMING!!! 10AM ET. #LwC." BlazeTV, where Crowder's show is streamed, released a statement Dec....

Most Americans should be given the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines instead of the Johnson & Johnson shot that can cause rare but serious blood clots, U.S. health advisers recommended Thursday. The strange clotting problem has caused nine confirmed deaths after J&J vaccinations — while the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines don’t come with that risk and also appear to be more effective, advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. It’s an unusual move and the CDC’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, must decide whether to accept the panel’s advice. Until now the U.S. has treated all three COVID-19 vaccines...

#1 on AMAZON, and a NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NATIONAL BESTSELLER Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. He is anything but. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and...

On this date in 1943, pacifist novelist Erich Maria Remarque lost his youngest sister to the Nazi regime — beheaded because her “brother is beyond our reach.” Actually, Elfriede Scholz was convicted (upon the denunciation of her landlady a few weeks before) by the kangaroo People’s Court for undermining the war effort. (“Wehrkraftzersetzung” — German has a word for everything.) Like her brother, Elfriede was a staunch opponent of the Nazi government, and in 1943 that could certainly have sufficed to get her a one-way trip to Plotzensee Prison. But Roland Freisler‘s verdict explicitly referenced (German link) her more famous...

With a criminal trial just two months away, Vicky Bratcher is remaining hopeful her husband, LaRue Bratcher, 34, will prevail in court. “All of his three attorneys, they’ve all said this is a stand your ground,” Vicky Bratcher said of LaRue Bratcher, who has been charged with first-degree murder. Around 1 a.m., on May 26, 2020, LaRue Bratcher was at his marijuana business, Premium Smoke, LLL, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, when he noticed Daniel Hardwick, 43, trying to break into his business. Vicky Bratcher says this was not the first time Hardwick attempted to break into the business. “He was...
