When a new Yale University study identified a debilitating syndrome linked to Covid vaccines, Lindy Ayers breathed a sigh of relief. The 31-year-old Army veteran, from Arkansas, has been wheelchair-bound since she took her second Pfizer shot in 2021 as part of the government's military mandate. For years she was told her extreme fatigue, sickness and heart palpitations were anxiety. Then doctors said it was long Covid. She was branded an antivaxxer for suggesting it could have been the vaccine. Thousands of Americans have reported similar stories. After the study news dropped, DailyMail.com spoke to dozens of Americans, including those...

President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to “Make America Healthy Again” as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services — petitioned the government to stop use of all Covid-19 vaccines in the heart of the pandemic. Kennedy petitioned the Food and Drug Administration in May 2021, asking that the agency revoke authorization for Covid vaccines, The New York Times reported Friday. Kennedy has a long history of spreading vaccine conspiracy theories, and was a vocal opponent of preventative measures during the pandemic. In 2022, at a rally organized by his group Children’s Health Defense, he compared measures around Covid...

Four viruses are currently circulating in the United States, which some have referred to as a "quad-demic." Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed an increase in three respiratory viruses—COVID-19, flu and RSV—and the gastrointestinal disease norovirus. Emergency department visits are "high" and "very high" for flu and RSV, respectively, and "elevated" for COVID-19 across the U.S., according to the CDC. As of the week ending Jan. 4, 18.6% of tests for influenza are returning positive, as are 11.6% of RSV tests and 6.9% of COVID tests. Meanwhile, for norovirus, 27.91% of weekly tests have come back...

Former Washington State head football coach Nick Rolovich lost his lawsuit against the university after he was fired for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine during the 2021 season. U.S. District Judge Thomas Rice, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in June 2011, ruled Monday that Washington State could not accommodate Rolovich without undue hardship, including increased travel costs and hindered recruitment and fundraising efforts. The university also claimed damage to its reputation. The university fired Rolovich, along with four assistant coaches, in October 2021 for refusing to comply with a mandate that required all state employees to be...

I watched a 7 minute excerpt of an Epoch Times video posted by Dr Makis on his substack webpage here:https://makismd.substack.com/p/video-drsabine-hazan-exposes-covidThe full Epoc Times video, 1 hour 9 minues in duration, is here:https://rumble.com/v2f62g4-dr.-sabine-hazan-the-gut-bacteria-thats-missing-in-people-who-get-severe-co.html?mref=1bxo9j&mc=69gy3MY NOTES on 7 minute Epoch Times video excerpt:Bifidobacteria in the gut play an important role in immune response, so Dr. Sabine wondered how the 'Covid' vaccine would impact those vaccinated. She proposed to collect samples (stools) from people before and after vaccination. All requests for funding failed so she performed the study herself, with her own money. She asked to test doctors prior to their Covid vaccination, and...

he Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA, tiny molecules that help control how genes are expressed. Their findings unlocked new areas of research into the roles these molecules play in human health. Researchers are exploring microRNA treatments for cancer, hepatitis and heart disease. Ambros and Ruvkun were postdoctoral fellows in the 1980s in the laboratory of biologist Robert Horvitz, who won the Nobel Prize in 2002 for his research in gene regulation. In Horvitz’s lab, they studied the roundworm C. elegans to better understand the role genes play in...

Global research already suggests the risk of COVID-19 infection rises with each mRNA vaccine dose and a higher risk of heart inflammation in jabbed young people, especially males, who face a low risk from COVID itself. Now a three-year study of nearly 1,000 heart attack patients at a hospital in Spain, published in a peer-reviewed Elsevier journal this month, suggests vaccination makes them far more likely to have "major adverse cardiovascular events" including death within six months of their heart attacks, especially when they've also recovered from COVID infection. The Madrid-based researchers found "no significant association," however, between MACE and...

In the past 10 years breast cancer has risen 1.4 percent in white under-50s, compared to 0.7 percent in over-50s, or double the rate. Olivia Munn is among the women in their 40s to have been diagnosed with the disease, after revealing in March that she was diagnosed with the cancer last year at the age of 43 years — just two months after a mammogram said she was all clear. The report, published this week, found that about 310,700 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Of these, an estimated 13,180, about four percent, are under 40 years...

A California doctor has tragically died “suddenly” after suffering a stroke at just 32 years old. Dr. Maddie Giegold’s tragic sudden death came just five days before completing her residency. According to reports, the young doctor was “fully vaccinated” for Covid and received an mRNA “booster” shot shortly before she died. “I’ve never really met anyone else like her, she’s incredibly goofy,” said friend Hannah Trautner. Trautner said Giegold would do anything to make people laugh and inevitably become her friend. Those closest to Maddie say she loved cats, trail running, and sunflowers, and was described as being very active....

Dr. Robert Redfield, the former director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Thursday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pushed a false “safe and effective” COVID vaccine narrative by underreporting adverse events. The mRNA shots “never should have been mandated,” Redfield told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday. The Democrat-controlled Senate oversight hearing entitled “Risky Research: Oversight of U.S. Taxpayer Funded High-Risk Virus Research,” included witnesses Dr. Gerald Parker, Dr. Carrie Wolinetz, Dr. Kevin Esvelt, and Redfield. Former President Trump’s CDC director accused the Biden government of suppressing data...

Biden administration seeks 18-month stay before processing Just the News open records request, America First Legal calls delay request "shocking." The Biden administration is seeking to delay until at least 2026 the release of COVID-19 vaccine safety data that has been kept outside the government’s normal adverse events reporting system. The Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services asked U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton this week to issue an 18-month stay that keeps them from having to release the Food and Drug Administration’s data to Just the News under the Freedom of Information Act. The federal agencies alleged that...

Adolescents had a higher incidence of post-vaccine myocarditis and pericarditis than children.Myocarditis and pericarditis only occur after vaccination and not after COVID-19 infection, according to a recent preprint led by researchers at Oxford University, which compared health outcomes among COVID-vaccinated and unvaccinated children.“Whilst rare, all myocarditis and pericarditis events during the study period occurred in vaccinated individuals,” the authors wrote. There were no deaths from myocarditis or pericarditis.The study evaluated over 1 million English children aged 5 to 11 and adolescents aged 12 to 15. Vaccinated minors were compared to an equal number of unvaccinated, and children who took one...

Anyone seeing an uptick in pancreatic cancer? Formerly a rare cancer it seems to be burgeoning. I have 2 neighbors within a half mile, a good friend and two inlaws who have/ had pc in past 2 years 4 have passed. Odd to know of so many. That doesn't count my work acquaintances. I am not interested in talking about the vaxxes. Just in the incidence of pc. We are far enough flung that it might be interesting. Your experience? Anyone else?

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Thursday that many officials who tried to warn the public about potential problems with COVID-19 vaccines were pressured into silence and that it’s high time to admit that there were “significant” side effects that made people sick.Dr. Redfield made the remarks in a May 16 interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation, during which he lamented the loss of public confidence in public health agencies because of a lack of transparency around the vaccines, which he said “saved a lot of lives” but also made some...

COVID-19 vaccines have been key to controlling the pandemic, but researchers in Germany report on one man who took the vaccination message to the extreme. The subject of the research published in Lancet Infectious Diseases is a 62-year-old man from Magdeburg, Germany who claims to have received 217 COVID-19 vaccinations within about 2.5 years. (German prosecutors confirmed he received 130 shots in nine months during an investigation into fraud; ultimately, they did not file criminal charges.) It's not clear why the man wanted so many vaccinations or how he obtained them. But after reading news reports of the man's story,...

Researchers have made a discovery that could bring relief to those struggling with long COVID. In a world-first finding, they've identified a way to restore the faulty function of ion channels on immune cells using a well-known drug. The breakthrough, builds on previous research showing long COVID patients share similar issues with ion channels as those with chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis or ME/CFS). The team had previously shown success in restoring ion channel function in ME/CFS patients using a drug called Naltrexone, and now they've achieved similar results with long COVID patients. "Ion channels are integral...

After more than three billion doses, the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine is being withdrawn. However, its reputation was dented as unusual blood clots emerged as a rare side effect of the vaccine, and the UK turned to alternatives.
