Natural immunity to disease is, or at least was, a well-known concept in medicine. By disease, I mean viral infections. One can’t develop natural immunity to diseases like diabetes or heart failure. Many of us remember “chicken pox parties” where when one kid was infectious, he or she was invited over to play with your kids, so they all got infected and then they did not have to worry about getting chicken pox again, due to natural immunity. The CDC defines it as follows: “Natural immunity is acquired from exposure to the disease organism through infection with the actual disease.”...

Billionaire lunatic George Soros is promoting a risk-filled new technology to fight “climate change.” It will block heat and light from the Sun to cool Earth’s global temperature and repair the solar system. What could go wrong? Soros touted the plan during his address at the Munich Security Conference on Thursday. According to Fox News, Soros claimed he discovered a process where white clouds are created to reflect sunlight away from the planet’s surface. His idea is to use this technology to prevent ice sheets from melting. Otherwise, melting ice sheets could doom human civilization. “Our civilization is in danger...

Actress Christina Applegate attended the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, likely the last time she will attend an award show amid her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis. Applegate, 51, who was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease in 2021, appeared on the red carpet wearing a black gown while standing next to her daughter. She also had a cane with an “FU MS” sticker attached to the side. The “Married With Children” alum said earlier this month that she was done with awards shows after the SAG Awards because she couldn’t imagine putting more energy into...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a “serious public health” alert, warning of a nationwide spike in “extensively drug-resistant” shigellosis. The highly contagious shigella bacterial infection attacks the intestines and causes inflammatory, sometimes bloody diarrhea, according to the CDC’s “emergency and preparedness response.” There are about 450,000 shigellosis infections every year in the US, resulting in an estimated $93 million in direct medical costs, according to CDC data. The agency also reported that 5% of all infections in 2022 were extensively drug-resistant (XDR) — a jump from zero drug-resistant cases in 2015. An infection is considered XDR...

[Catholic Caucus] "The clique of Saint Anselm conducts the war against ancient Mass": Luisella Scrosati(Published at "Daily Compass" of La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana on February 27; source)From secretary Viola to the undersecretaries García Macías and Marcjanowicz, including Ravelli and Midili who lead the pontifical celebrations: they all come from the same Sant'Anselmo University and all only act animated by ideological shortsightedness and blindness to reality. That's who is waging war on the ancient Mass.Any person, even those less intellectually endowed, is capable of understanding that the crusade waged against the ancient rite, from Traditionis Custodes to the recent Rescriptum, is...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)Jesus said to his disciples: “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” Matthew 25:31–32What an image to ponder! Try to imagine this scene. At one definitive moment in the future, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, now also in human form as the “Son of Man,” will return to earth in glory surrounded...

Getting good sleep can play a role in supporting your heart and overall health—and maybe even how long you live—according to new research.. The study found that young people who have more beneficial sleep habits are incrementally less likely to die early. Moreover, the data suggest that about 8% of deaths from any cause could be attributed to poor sleep patterns. Participants were followed for a median of 4.3 years. Factors included: 1) ideal sleep duration of seven to eight hours a night; 2) difficulty falling asleep no more than two times a week; 3) trouble staying asleep no more...

Tucker Carlson now has the equivalent of nearly five years of surveillance footage captured by U.S. Capitol Police security cameras on January 6, 2021. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) turned over the tapes to the Fox News host earlier this month, according to Axios. Carlson’s producers and researchers are already distilling the footage; the first round of clips is expected to air in a few weeks.While some grumble that McCarthy did not fulfill his promise to publicly release the footage—arguably a valid complaint—Carlson’s team undoubtedly will give the massive trove much-needed context and maximum impact. Carlson released a three-part documentary,...

"Strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience" (Col. 1:11). God always empowers you to do what He commands you to do. An alarming number of Christians seem to lack spiritual stability. Many are "carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming" (Eph. 4:14). Others lack moral purity. Many are driven by their emotions rather than sound thinking. Increasingly, therapists and psychologists are replacing pastors and biblical teachers as the heroes of the faith. While we still proclaim a sovereign, all- powerful...

NEW YORK — In May 2021, Claudia Mangione got a tattoo of a match on her rib cage. Ephemeral, the studio that tattooed her, had just opened in Brooklyn, and its draw was a trademarked tattoo ink that was advertised as “made to fade” nine to 15 months after application. Not so for Mangione, 25. The crisp line drawing “looks like a spatula now,” she said almost 22 months later. For some customers, the company’s tattoos have proved less ephemeral than they had hoped. Nearly two years after the startup opened its studio to a flurry of articles, including one...

Investigative reporter John Cardillo hears that Senator John Fetterman is essentially brain-dead. If so, there is a reason for Democrats to hide it. Until the next special election, he remains as senator. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if true, and it needs an immediate investigation. With HIPAA laws, they could keep it secret for a long time. As Mr. Cardillo said, “18 hours later and still no comment from PA Dems or Senate Dems on whether or not a sitting United States Senator is able to continue on in office.” While Mr. Cardillo believes a special election would have to be...

First lady Jill Biden said there isn’t a chance in her book that President Biden will decide not to run for a second term. “It’s Joe’s decision and we support whatever he wants to do. If he’s in, we’re there. If he wants to do something else, we’re there too,” Biden told CNN in an interview while in Africa over the weekend. “Not in my book,” she added when asked if there was a chance her husband would not seek reelection. “I’m all for it, of course.” Also while in Africa, Biden gave one of the strongest nods towards a...

Gun control activist David Hogg tweeted Sunday that Americans “have no right to a gun,” suggesting that the right to keep and bear arms applies only to members of the militia. Hogg tweeted:You have no right to a gun. You are not a militia. When you’re talking about your second amendment rights you’re talking about a states right to have what is today the national guard. The modern interpretation of 2A is a ridiculous fraud pushed for decades by the gun lobby. — David Hogg ☮️ (@davidhogg111) February 26, 2023 The text of the Second Amendment says, “A well regulated...

Woody Harrelson delivered a monologue about vaccines Saturday on Saturday Night Live, stunning spectators. The famous actor used his fifth-time hosting the late night show to deliver a description of a divided nation, defining himself as a “redneck hippie,” according to Daily Beast. “You know, the red in me thinks you should be allowed to own guns,” Harrelson said. “The blue in me thinks – squirt guns. So, I’m red and blue which makes purple. I’m purple.” Applause emerged as he extended his arms to receive his Five-Timers club jacket, which he did not receive during the segment. Harrelson started...
