thousands of elderly COVID patients in the United Kingdom were secretly euthanized in April 2020 ... This disturbing claim came from an investigation directed by Wilson Sy, director, Investment Analytics Research Australia, and ... The alleged euthanasia claim seems unlikely because in the U.K., it is regarded as either manslaughter or murder by the National Health Service ... Having had a career in analytics, I was skeptical. I reviewed the ResearchGate investigation documentation fully expecting to find fake news. Instead, I found that the report was exceptionally well researched and documented, and the claim appears valid. The truth was buried...

KFF Health News — The Covid-19 pandemic would be a wake-up call for America, advocates for the elderly predicted: incontrovertible proof that the nation wasn’t doing enough to care for vulnerable older adults. The death toll was shocking, as were reports of chaos in nursing homes and seniors suffering from isolation, depression, untreated illness, and neglect. Around 900,000 older adults have died of Covid-19 to date, accounting for 3 of every 4 Americans who have perished in the pandemic. But decisive actions that advocates had hoped for haven’t materialized. Today, most people — and government officials — appear to accept...

A Texas teenager tragically collapsed and died at a cross-country meet moments after breaking his personal time record.. Angel Hernandez, a 16-year-old sophomore at Chisholm Trail High School, had just completed a 5K at a district track meet in Haltom City in Tarrant County on Oct. 13 when he collapsed right after crossing the finish line,.. The teen’s concerned friends walked him over to a water fountain where he fell again. He was rushed to a local hospital where he died an hour later. Brent Brevard, who coached Hernandez at Chisholm Trail High School last year before retiring, said he...

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce is arguably the best tight end in the NFL. Recently, he appeared in a commercial sponsored by Pfizer and aired during NFL games promoting getting a COVID booster and a flu vaccine simultaneously, showing two parallel band-aids on his arm, with the pitch being it saves time (“two things at once”). You can see the commercial on his Instagram page. Given Kelce also appeared recently in a Bud Light commercial and is rumored to be dating Taylor Swift, some conservatives are calling him out for triple wokeness. But how safe is getting both vaccines...

The director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that “COVID is here to stay and that we will continue to need tools to fight it.” During a press briefing on “global health issues” on September 6, WHO chief Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus furthermore urged “at-risk people” to receive “an additional dose [of the COVID-19 shot] if it’s recommended for you.” “The increase in hospitalizations and deaths shows that COVID is here to stay and that we will continue to need tools to fight it,” he said. According to the WHO director-general, one of these “tools” is the dangerous...

The Food and Drug Administration could authorize Pfizer's updated Covid boosters by the end of August, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said during an investor call Tuesday. The drugmaker asked the FDA in June to authorize an updated version of its Covid booster that is designed to target the XBB.1.5 subvariant, a coronavirus strain that began circulating widely last winter. Moderna made a similar request that same month. The requests came days after the FDA advised the drugmakers to update the shots to target XBB.1.5 ahead of a fall Covid booster campaign.

Tucker revealed he did not take any of the COVID-19 vaccinations on Friday, during his interview with former Arkansas Governor and 2024 presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson at the Family Leadership Summit. “How many COVID shots did you take and how do you feel about it now, in retrospect?” Carlson asked. “How many COVID shots did you take?” Hutchinson replied. “Zero,” Carlson said. Hutchinson admitted he got the COVID-19 jabs.

Hospitalization risk exists as only 20% of US adults receive booster dose: ‘Uptake has been quite low’Adults who aren’t current on their COVID-19 vaccine booster doses may have "relatively little remaining protection" against hospitalization compared to those who haven’t been vaccinated at all, suggests a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). SNIP Dr. Shana Johnson, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician in Scottsdale, Arizona, was not involved in the CDC study but reviewed its findings. The good news, Johnson said, is that the bivalent mRNA vaccine protects against the most severe COVID-19 outcomes, including hospitalization...

We have another mini-freakout from a COVID test result. Yes, it’s from a medical professional still masking and getting endless doses of the coronavirus vaccine. Meet Dr. Deepti Gurdasani, a clinical epidemiologist who is also an intersectional feminist. She got infected and decided to go on a lengthy thread about her journey. She does not know where she picked up the pathogen, but it’s irrelevant. It’s an airborne virus whose prevalence peaks around the same time as cold and flu season. It’s something to behold because most don’t care anymore. There’s a reason why nations like Japan downgraded COVID. It’s...

The excess mortality is staggering, often above 15 to 20% in highly vaccinated nations. In nations with elevated vaccine rates, there are elevated infections, re-infections, hospitalisations and deaths.Data from New South Wales, Australia, shows a clear correlation between the number of doses a person is injected with, and a higher incidence of hospitalisation and death. You can explore the data for New South Wales for yourself HERE…Hospitalisations: NSW Health Surveillance Data, retrieved 13 February 2023Deaths: NSW Health Surveillance Data, retrieved 13 February 2023 As Dr. Paul Alexander noted, “wherever there have been elevated covid vaccine rates, there are elevated excess...

Lula says Brazilians can receive financial aid only if they have taken the vax. Bolsa Família will require vax certificates from participants & their children: We can't play, it's a question of science. If I have 10 covid vaccines to take, I will take all that is necessary…💉 💰

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) COVID-19 technical lead declared last week that countries need to strengthen surveillance systems and the standardization of medical care in order to “end” a supposedly ongoing COVID “emergency.”The WHO shared on Sunday a video in which Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, who also serves as head of the organization’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, offered a litany of COVID response recommendations, including the boosting of “100 percent” of people over 60 and who are immunocompromised.“We want to end this emergency in every country on the planet in 2023, and we can do this. So what we...

In addition to cardiac events, another life-threatening side effect has been associated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. When is the risk period? Does the flu shot play any role in these events? What actions should we take to better protect ourselves? Summary of Key Facts An increased risk of stroke events has been identified with the Pfizer COVID-19 bivalent vaccine, according to a joint statement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The onset time in people aged 65 years and older was 1–21 days after the booster, with a significant cluster...

A growing number of doctors say that they will not get COVID-19 vaccine boosters, citing a lack of clinical trial evidence.“I have taken my last COVID vaccine without RCT level evidence it will reduce my risk of severe disease,” Dr. Todd Lee, an infectious disease expert at McGill University, wrote on Twitter.Lee was pointing to the lack of randomized clinical trial (RCT) results for the updated boosters, which were cleared in the United States and Canada in the fall of 2022 primarily based on data from experiments with mice.Lee, who has received three vaccine doses, noted that he was infected...

The UK is following Denmark in restricting who is eligible for COVID booster shots, sparking a lot of conversation among vaccine skeptics for pretty obvious reasons.I didn’t plan for today to be heavily weighted toward writing about COVID vaccines, but it sure worked out that way. This will be my third piece on the matter in a single day. Trust me, this is not an obsession of mine. It just worked out that way.First the news:Healthy adults under the age of 50 who are yet to receive a booster jab have just two-and-a-half weeks to take up the offer before...

The expression, “If some is good, more must be better” might apply to chocolate, vacations, and American Thinker articles, but not to everything in life. I speak of COVID vaccines, a hot topic in personal discussions and on social media. The corporate media and government, including most world health authorities follow a similar quote, attributed to May West, ““If a little is great, and a lot is better, then way too much is just about right!” Is that so? Are an endless series of mRNA “vaccines” really in the best interests of virtually all Americans for whom they are recommended?...

A vaccine adviser to the Food and Drug Administration is questioning whether young, healthy people should get new COVID-19 boosters, arguing those shots should be used for older individuals.“I believe we should stop trying to prevent all symptomatic infections in healthy, young people by boosting them with vaccines containing mRNA from strains that might disappear a few months later,” wrote Dr. Paul A. Offit, an FDA vaccine panel adviser and professor of pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, in New England Journal of Medicine on Jan. 11.In his article, Offit cited two studies suggesting that bivalent boosters, which target...

Following an analysis of vaccine surveillance data, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) say they have found no evidence of increased risk of ischemic stroke among people 65 and older who receive Pfizer’s bivalent booster..... ... researchers and physicians have repeatedly stressed that the risk of stroke due to COVID-19 infection is higher than the risk caused by immunization.

In a sadistic and disorienting rhetorical flourish, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha, COVID Warlord Fauci’s diverse protégé, declared that the best way to “move on” from COVID-19 is actually to submit to an endless booster campaign for eternity. “Despite aggressive messaging, U.S. vaccination rates remain low,” reads the ABC News chyron. “People aren’t listening. What do you do?” asks the near-hysterical news actor, her voice inflecting upwards at the end of the question to indicate frustration. “It’s been obviously a long two and a half years,” Dr. Jha begins. “We understand that people want to move on....

Americans who got the updated COVID-19 booster shots are better protected against symptomatic infection than those who haven't — at least for now, U.S. health officials said Tuesday.
