Vaccine experts are skeptical of agency's reliance on Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, however. Study's time period excludes nearly all minors. ====================================================================================================== Deaths following mRNA vaccination against COVID-19 represented 13 out of every 1,000 reports (1.3%) to the federal government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), the CDC's Atlanta-based researchers said Monday. Another 66 reports out of every 1,000 (6.6%) were categorized as "serious," resulting in "inpatient hospitalisation, prolongation of hospitalisation, permanent disability, life-threatening illness, congenital anomaly or birth defect," according to their study published in The Lancet, the U.K-based medical journal. VAERS is often dubbed a passive surveillance system...

Edward Dowd on Future Recession, Shocking Findings in the CDC Covid Data, and Democide Blackrock’s Edward Dowd with Steve Bannon The millennial generation experienced 61,000 excess death in the second half of 2021. CDC data shows the Millennial generation suffered a “Vietnam War event,” with more than 61,000 excess deaths in that age group in the second half of 2021, according to an analysis by a former Wall Street executive who made a career of crunching numbers at BlackRock. Millennials, about ages 25 to 40, experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality in the fall, he said,...

On Sunday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Life, Liberty & Levin,” conservative talker Mark Levin blasted the Biden administration for its response to a situation in Ukraine that is spiraling out of control by the day while seemingly enabling Iran to achieve its nuclear ambitions. Levin said the status quo made him miss the days of former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Trump, according to Levin, looked to be a foreign policy genius based on the present situation. Transcript as follows: [cut] You know what, ladies and gentlemen, I really do miss the Reagan days and the Trump days. We never...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemJames 3Taming the Tongue 3 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are...

Bourla on Face The Nation earlier today. VIDEO AT LINK................ Pfizer CEO Dr. Albert Bourla says a fourth shot against Covid is “now necessary.” “Right now, the way that we have seen, yes it is necessary, a fourth booster right now. The protection that you are getting from the third, it is good enough, actually quite good for hospitalizations and deaths. It’s not that good against infections, and doesn’t last very long.” Pfizer CEO @AlbertBourla tells @margbrennan his company is working “very diligently” to make a covid vaccine that will protect against variants & will protect “for at least a...

Mohamed El-Erian, the chief economic adviser for Allianz, got the inflation problem correct; states a forecast in line with CTH Main Street review, but then falls short on his political outlook for the solution. Within the interview, El-Erian predicts inflation at the current CPI measure will increase from current 7.9% to over 10% this year. That aspect is in alignment with CTH review at ground level. Current real inflation is more than 15% across the board, if you use the CPI methodology we were using in the 70’s and 80’s. Both the scale and the speed of the current price...

Former President Trump is doubling down on claims the 2020 election was rigged in favor of President Joe Biden, telling a crowd in South Carolina he won the 2020 election. Mr. Trump made the assertion after telling a crowd of supporters in Florence, S.C., about a new state investigation in Wisconsin that found improprieties in the way the 2020 election was carried out in nursing homes and other residential facilities. The same report, produced by the Wisconsin Office of the Special Counsel, also accused a group funded by Mark Zuckerberg of committing election bribery when it targeted $8.8 million in...

The Alabama legislature has sent the Constitutional Carry bill (permitless carry), HB272, as amended by the Senate, to Governor Ivey at 3:05 p.m. on March 10, 2022.

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" "That," of course, refers to John Wilkes Booth's assassination of President Abraham Lincoln while he was watching the popular play, "Our American Cousin," at Ford's Theater in Washington D.C. on April 14, 1865. The joke, whose origin is uncertain, satirizes people who miss the point because they equate commonplace occurrences and transformational events. Alas, Americans who are considering putting Donald Trump back in the White House in 2024 have fallen prey to the same false equivalence. Paul Boyer, who represents a swing district north of Phoenix in the Arizona...

Democrats are willing to act to end freedom in America and can be stopped only by Americans who are willing to put constitutional principles into action. COVID-19 plandemic politicians falsely promised freedom and safety, while increasingly suffocating people with mandates and restrictions, but Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis fought back despite an endless barrage of criticism. And significantly, he proved that his policies worked. Could he be just as tough in defending the U.S. Constitution? Yes. The media attacked Governor DeSantis for his “irresponsible policies.” The Biden administration’s Fauciism tried desperately to force vaccinations on people, including threatening their livelihoods. Other...

More than two weeks into a war he expected to dominate in two days, Vladimir Putin is projecting anger, frustration at his military’s failures and a willingness to cause even more violence and destruction in Ukraine, in the assessment of U.S. intelligence officials. Officials in recent days have publicly said they’re worried the Russian president will escalate the conflict to try to break Ukraine’s resistance. Russia still holds overwhelming military advantages and can bombard the country for weeks more. And while the rest of the world reacts to horrific images of the war he started, Putin remains insulated from domestic...

There will be growth in the spring, to cite once again Chauncey Gardiner, the supposed savant in the 1979 satire Being There, who actually was Chance, the gardener. Chauncey’s dimwitted utterances somehow were taken as incredibly profound by the powerful Washington elite, and through a series of improbable events, he would become the president’s key adviser on how to cure the nation’s ailing economy. The real presidents in that era wouldn’t have done any worse by listening to Chauncey rather than to their actual advisers. Back in the fall of 1974, the Ford administration assembled an all-day conference on solutions...

How much damage and carnage could have been avoided if COVID hadn’t been politicized? History will judge this era harshly, and deservedly so. From the beginning of COVID two years ago, health authorities and the media have been preaching “follow the science,” but what they don’t say is that it’s not medical science that they are following but instead political science. How else does one explain sudden new rules and recommendations, contradicting past “settled science,” regarding everything from natural immunity and off label therapeutics to the futility of masks and social distancing. It seems that overnight the science changed with...

Pete Jenkins, 54, a contractor who’s lived in Wyoming for three decades, said he identifies personally as a Democrat — he did not vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020 — but is registered as a Republican just to have some influence in Wyoming politics. He said he intends to vote for Cheney — and has heard from lots of other Democrats planning to do the same. “I think it’s a fairly popular thing,” he said of the party-switchers-for-Cheney movement. Cheney needs as many of them as she can get. snip A progressive organizer who helped get the Democratic vote...

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., is considering a rough timeline for a potential presidential announcement. And allies of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are openly talking up her White House prospects. More than two years before the next presidential election, a shadow primary is already beginning to take shape among at least three fierce Republican critics of former President Donald Trump to determine who is best positioned to occupy the anti-Trump lane in 2024. Their apparent willingness to run — even if Trump does, as is widely expected — represents...
