Child vaccination rates dipped into dangerous territory during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools were shuttered, and most doctors were only seeing emergency patients. But instead of recovering after schools reopened in 2021, those historically low rates worsened, according to new data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts fear that the skepticism of science and distrust of government that flared up during the pandemic are contributing to the decrease. According to today’s data, the percentage of U.S. children entering kindergarten with their required immunizations fell to 93% in the 2021-22 school year, 2...

Just when we start to think the pandemic may be ending, the CDC is tracking another new potentially dangerous coronavirus variant called Orthrus CH.1.1. It got its name from a variant tracker in Australia. Orthrus in Greek mythology was a two-headed cattle dog. It looks very unique. So, does this new CH 1.1 variant. As of this week, it's at just under two percent of cases in the United States. While it comes from Omicron, the concern is that it has a mutation seen in Delta and that was a potentially deadly and dangerous strain. "Delta seemed to be a...

Florida grew in population because Gov. Ron DeSantis kept the state open during the pandemic. That also means more people in the workforce. As of December 2022, Florida has more people in the workforce than New York. The Bureau Labor of Statistics (BLS) released the number in its December 2022 Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment report. Florida has 9.669 million compared to New York’s 9.661 million. Florida also has 500,000 more people working there than before the pandemic. The data coincides with a BLS report last month that showed Florida’s economy is growing the fastest in the nation for the...

WASHINGTON — President Biden welcomed former President Bill Clinton back to “Congress” Thursday — during an event that was actually at the White House. The 80-year-old Biden gushed, “I’m so happy to be able to welcome my president back to the United States Congress — back to the United States Capitol, and he’s promised me that I’ll be able to sit at my desk tomorrow.” The cringeworthy moment occurred in the White House East Room as Clinton, 76, celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act. ...

An attack on two schools in Sydney for teaching Christian morality has some broader lessons FOUR CORNERS LOGO / ABC Four Corners, a flagship program on Australia’s ABC, broadcast a scathing attack on two private schools in Sydney on Monday evening. Their crime: encouraging students to be chaste. For MercatorNet’s international readers, this will be just a storm in a teacup, but journalist Louise Milligan’s spin on the issue may contain some interesting lessons for them, too. If there is one person to blame for the 404 days that Cardinal George Pell spent in jail, it is Louise Milligan. She...

It would appear that Zelensky has lost favour with the west and is on the way out. His government is falling to pieces, numerous high-profile resignations are now frequent. It all started with the death of his internal affairs minister when the chopper carrying him with 9 others (presumed NATO) was shot down presumably by his own. The EU looks to be scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to ammunitions, all of the old stores have been bled dry. Apparently, the EU/Germany will not be handing over planes at this time. The German chancellor was recently reminded...

Washington D.C., Jan 27, 2023 / 14:40 pm A Democrat-controlled Virginia Senate committee voted down three bills that would have put more restrictions on abortion in the commonwealth, but similar bills are still being considered in the Republican-controlled House of Delegates. The three bills would have taken very different approaches because each of them added abortion restrictions at different stages of pregnancy. Senate Bill 1284 would have banned nearly all abortions, Senate Bill 1385 would have banned abortions after the 15th gestational week, and Senate Bill 1483 would have banned abortions by the time of viability. The legislation would have...

Anyone who tunes into truth news regularly knows that the WEF (World Economic Forum) and the globalists are purposely incapacitating supply chains across the board, including for fuel, food, and animal feed. This is an attempt to get the whole world to eat lab-concocted “food stuff” instead of natural food. Now, it is suspected that several globalist-owned and controlled animal feed companies may be supplying farmers with chicken feed that is purposely tainted to prevent hens from producing eggs, thus adding to the chaotic food shortages and supply chain breakdowns. Is this all part of a larger agenda to massively...

Social media users have criticized Universal Studios Hollywood, for its new “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge” attraction due to the ride ‘vehicle’s body size limitations, which some have deemed “ridiculous.” The ride vehicle can only accommodate people who have a 40-inch waist or smaller, according to the theme park website. “Guests whose waistlines are 40” or greater may not be accommodated on the ride and are strongly encouraged to try the test seat provided at the entrance of the attraction to assist guests in determining their ability to ride,” the website stated. The theme park said that its decision to include...

MADISON, Wis. — Most students who responded to a survey about free speech on University of Wisconsin campuses said they’re afraid to express their views on controversial topics in class because they fear other students won’t agree or it could hurt their grades, according to findings released Wednesday. A third of respondents, meanwhile, said they’ve felt pressure from an instructor to agree with a certain viewpoint. Almost half said they at least somewhat agree that administrators should bar controversial speakers if some students find the message offensive. “I want the University of Wisconsin System to be looked upon as a...
