Discharging untested patients from hospitals to care homes during the Covid crisis was the “least worst decision”, the former health secretary Matt Hancock has told a public inquiry. In his testimony to the UK Covid-19 inquiry on Wednesday, Hancock defended the decision – which was later ruled illegal in a high court judgment – to move hospital patients into care homes during the early weeks of the pandemic to free up space. “Nobody has yet provided me with an alternative that was available at the time that would have saved more lives,” he said. “I still can’t see a decision...

In a stunning political and medical upheaval, 12 U.S. states have ignited a firestorm by pushing legislation to ban COVID-19 vaccines — declaring them unsafe, ineffective, and a symbol of misplaced trust. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently triggered a major policy shift by removing the vaccines from CDC recommendations for children and pregnant women, citing new findings. For years, critical questions have been silenced. The promise that COVID-19 vaccines were “safe and effective” is now being called into serious doubt — and the consequences may be far worse than anyone imagined. Could the vaccines themselves...

Sen. Rand Paul is preparing to SUBPOENA Dr. Fauci to testify about his role in COVID-19... Since Fauci accepted a “pardon” from Biden, he is NOT allowed to plead the fifth in this instance. And if he lies under oath, he can be ARRESTED for perjury. Fauci is SWEATING tonight.

Dr. Jayanta “Jay” Bhattacharya appeared this week at Aspen Ideas: Health, addressing his previously controversial stance on COVID-19, as well as his plans as the new National Institutes of Health director. Bhattacharya was sworn in as the 18th director of the NIH on April 1. President Trump nominated him for the position in late November, and the U.S. Senate confirmed his position on March 25. The NIH is the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research, with Bhattacharya referring to it as “the crown jewel of American biomedical sciences.” In his conversation Tuesday evening with Stefanie Ilgenfritz, coverage chief for...

From myocarditis to turbo cancer, emerging research offers hope for the millions injured by mRNA shots. Millions of people injured by mRNA injections have been completely abandoned by our public health agencies. In the absence of meaningful support, it is critically important to identify and advance safe, evidence-based strategies to aid recovery. At the McCullough Foundation, ongoing research has highlighted the following key interventions: Vitamin D Mounting evidence supports vitamin D as a critical intervention for vaccine injury: Myocarditis Protection: 73.3% of mRNA vaccine-induced myocarditis cases were vitamin D deficient, and low levels correlated with significantly worse inflammation, higher troponin...

A healthy man was struck by a life-threatening inflammation of his brain and spinal cord after just one dose of a Covid vaccine. The unnamed 60-year-old sought help from medics in Paris, France after suddenly developing walking problems and mental confusion, four weeks after receiving a dose of AstraZeneca's Covid jab. Brain scans revealed he was suffering from meningoencephalitis—a life threatening swelling of the brain and the tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord—according to doctors who shared his tale in a medical journal.

The spouse of an active-duty member of the Air Force stands in the gap for her husband of 11 years. Together, the family is facing an uphill battle against the Department of Defense for exercising the innate rights of all U.S citizens, rights that service members do not relinquish. Maj. Brennan Schilperoort is a C-130J transport aircraft pilot who has honorably served the nation in the Air Force for over 17 years. Maj. Schilperoort applied for a flu shot medical exemption in November 2023, previously having a severe adverse reaction to it, but the Air Force refused him consideration. Another...

A new COVID-19 variant, nicknamed Nimbus, is rising around the world — including in California — and known for giving “razor blade throat” symptoms. Officially called NB.1.8.1, the variant was labeled a “variant under monitoring” by the World Health Organization on May 23, according to a recent report. That means it’s not currently a major threat; however, it’s spreading fast enough to raise flags. As of late April, it made up 10.7% of global COVID-19 samples, a jump from 2.5% just a month earlier. The variant was first spotted in January and carries several genetic changes, particularly in the spike...

FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Democrat Joe Biden. The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News. The new documents were...

Protests against the arrest of a pro-Palestine Columbia graduate student are being organized by a Marxist revolutionary group that is pro-Communism, anti-Israel, and has potential links to the Chinese Communist Party. Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in the pro-Palestine and anti-Israel encampments at Columbia University, was detained earlier this month by the Trump administration, with the Department of Homeland Security arguing that he “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.” The People’s Forum helped organize some of the campus chaos and is now organizing protests to free Khalil. Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) is the pro-Palestine and anti-Israel group...

A prominent American doctor has gone on the record to blow the whistle on a chilling practice in hospitals across the country that artificially inflated so-called “Covid deaths” during the pandemic by euthanizing patients. The “Covid protocol” was exposed by Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a board-certified Otolaryngologist and Sleep Medicine specialist. The Houston, Texas-based doctor is also the founder of BreatheMD and the author of the book “Dangerous Misinformation: The Virus, the Treatments, and the Lies.” Dr. Bowden is a senior fellow with the Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC), the founder of Americans for Health Freedom, and she serves on...

A recent study published last year in the journal Cell has identified the ancient origins of a genetic mutation that confers resistance to HIV, and how it first appeared in an individual who lived near the Black Sea between 6,700 and 9,000 years ago. Named CCR5 delta 32, the uncommon genetic variant disables a key immune protein used by a large majority of strains of the HIV virus to enter human cells and therefore "locks out" the virus in individuals who carry two copies of the mutation.HIV is a relatively new disease. It was only identified in the last century,...

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, a seismic shift caught many political analysts off guard: young voters, assumed to be a reliably progressive demographic, showed unprecedented support for conservative candidates. This was no fleeting anomaly. Rather, it reflects a cultural transformation among America's youth, in particular young men, one that is steering them toward traditionalism and a rejection of the liberal paradigms that have dominated their cultural landscape for decades. From a resurgence of traditional religious practices to a renewed appreciation for authentic, skill-driven music, the young are embracing values that align with Traditionalism. As politics is downstream from culture,...

A new, highly transmissible COVID subvariant has been detected in California — heightening the risk of a potential summer wave as recent moves by the Trump administration threaten to make vaccines harder to get, and more expensive, for many Americans, some health experts warn. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this week that he was rescinding the federal government’s recommendation that pregnant women and healthy children get immunized against COVID, effective immediately. Dr. Marty Makary, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, also said the agency will no longer routinely approve annually formulated COVID-19 vaccinations...

A new, highly infectious COVID-19 strain that has left to a spike in hospitalizations in China has now been detected in the US, including cases in New York City, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The new NB.1.81 variant was first detected in the US in late March and early April among international travelers arriving at airports in California, Washington State, Virginia and New York City, with additional cases reported in Ohio, Rhode Island and Hawaii. The CDC has said there are too few cases in the US to be properly tracked in the agency’s variant estimates,...

The Justice Department has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for allegedly lying to Congress about the nursing home deaths in the Empire State during the COVID-19 pandemic. The probe into the New York City mayoral frontrunner was launched about a month ago by the Washington, DC, US Attorney’s Office, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the matter. The office was led at the time by Ed Martin, who was replaced earlier this month by Jeanine Pirro. The Republican-led panel asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue criminal...

The EU’s top court annulled the Commission’s decision to deny the newspaper New York Times access to messages exchanged between President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, finding that the EU executive failed to plausibly explain why it does not possess the texts. After a long tug-of-war between the European Commission and The New York Times over transparency surrounding the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine contracts, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) today ruled that the Commission “has not given a plausible explanation to justify the non-possession of the requested documents.” According to the Court, the Commission cannot simply...

A USAID employee has been charged with fraudulently creating a fake company to secure COVID-19 benefits for himself, federal prosecutors said Friday. Yusuf Akoll, who was in charge of managing contracts for the agency, made false statements to obtain Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. “Yusuf Akoll worked as a Senior Procurement Contract Specialist at the U.S. Agency for International Development,” according to a previously unreported court document. “From at least in or around March 2021, and continuing through at least in or around August 2021, Akoll [made] materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements…that resulted in Akoll receiving two [Paycheck Protection...

Canadian Government Begins Testing Inhaled Covid mRNA ‘AeroVax’ Frank BergmanMay 1, 2025 - 12:55 pm The Canadian government has begun ramping up testing for a chilling new Covid mRNA “AeroVax” that seeks to overcome “vaccine hesitancy” by using aerosols to “vaccinate” the general public. Unlike traditional “vaccines” that are deployed using injections, the new AeroVax is an atomized spray that is inhaled. The new “vaccines” are sprayed in aerosol form and breathed in by recipients. The AeroVax was developed by researchers at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded McMaster University in Canada. According to researchers, the Canadian government’s Institutes of...
