World-renowned infectious-disease epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff — who was fired from Harvard Medical School last year after refusing the COVID vaccine — just got a new gig. Kulldorff has been named a member of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices. Kulldorff, who had refused the COVID vaccine because of his infection-acquired immunity, lost his appointment at a Harvard-affiliated hospital in the early days of the COVID era, and in March of 2024 was officially terminated as a med school faculty member. Since the COVID lockdowns began five years ago, Kulldorff argued that tactics such as...

A Dayton man has been federally indicted by a grand jury in Ohio on three counts related to lying on U.S. immigration and naturalization applications by concealing his alleged role as a perpetrator of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

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...

On Monday, I took a major step towards restoring public trust in vaccines by reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP). I retired the 17 current members of the committee. I’m now repopulating ACIP with the eight new members who will attend ACIP’s scheduled June 25 meeting. The slate includes highly credentialed scientists, leading public-health experts, and some of America’s most accomplished physicians. All of these individuals are committed to evidence-based medicine, gold-standard science, and common sense. They have each committed to demanding definitive safety and efficacy data before making any new vaccine recommendations. The committee will review safety...

Germany didn’t go directly from Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 to the Holocaust. Like the jihad against Jews in America today, it was done in stages. A milestone in the death march was Kristallnacht, or “Night of Broken Glass,” on Nov. 9 and 10, 1938. In an orgy of violence, the Nazis torched synagogues and looted Jewish homes and businesses. Nearly 100 Jews were killed, and 30,000 were arrested and sent to concentration camps.

Greta Thunberg and fellow passengers who were detained by the Israel Defense Forces when trying to sail a boat to Gaza will be shown the graphic footage of Hamas’ October 7 massacre.Israel’s Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, said he instructed the IDF to show the footage to Thunberg and the other 11 left-wing activists upon their arrival at the Port of Ashdod.“It is appropriate that the antisemitic Greta and her fellow Hamas supporters see exactly who the Hamas terrorist organization they came to support and for whom they work is, what atrocities they committed against women, the elderly, and children,...

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted the Madleen, a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, who were trying to land in Gaza but were detained Monday local time without incident. The Israeli foreign ministry shared video of the activists on the boat, as IDF soldiers handed out sandwiches. The foreign ministry dubbed the boat the “selfie yacht,” mocking the passengers as useful idiots for Hamas. Thunberg made a nearly seamless transition from a youthful career in radical climate change activism to radical anti-Israel activism, becoming a fellow traveler with antisemitic groups, keffiyeh and all.

Israel has issued an ominous warning to Greta Thunberg, claiming the environmental activist will not make it to the Gaza Strip on her 'freedom flotilla'. -snip- The vessel is expected to reach Gaza this weekend, having set off from Catania in Sicily last Sunday. But the Israel Defence Forces has now been ordered to stop the ship in its tracks and has accused Ms Thunberg of being an 'antisemite travelling with Hamas propogandists'. Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Israel would not allow anyone to break its naval blockade of the Palestinian territory, which he said was aimed at preventing...

Israel has warned its military will "take whatever measures are necessary" to prevent a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists and humanitarian aid reaching Gaza. ... Katz said the blockade's purpose was to "prevent the transfer of weapons to Hamas" and was essential to Israel's security as it seeks to destroy the Palestinian armed group Hamas. He warned in a post on X on Sunday: "I have instructed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to act to prevent the 'Madeleine' [sic] hate flotilla from reaching the shores of Gaza - and to take whatever measures are necessary to that end." Addressing the crew...

Wikipedia, the world’s go-to site for information that professes to take a neutral point of view, is coming under fire for alleged anti-Israel bias in the sources it favors and content it delivers to millions of readers. The criticism is coming from several quarters, including a bipartisan group of 23 members of Congress who, in an April letter, expressed “deep concern regarding antisemitism” found in the online encyclopedia. The entries routinely highlight the work of anti-Zionist scholars and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), according to a review by RealClearInvestigations, while dismissing the views of Israel’s defenders. Amnesty International, which casts Israel as...

The Trump administration on Thursday imposed sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court over allegations against Israel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions against Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza of Peru, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini Gansou of Benin, and Beti Hohler of Slovenia.

The sanctions against the Hague-based court are related to Trump Feb. 6 executive order....

Following the horrific and incredibly destructive fires in southern California earlier this year, hundreds of residents of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood are opting to sell their homes rather than rebuild. For months now, various people have predicted that this would happen because the bureaucratic red tape in California is a nightmare to deal with, not to mention the exorbitant costs. It is absolutely awful that so many of these people find themselves in a position where they’re unable to rebuild homes they have lived in for years. This is all on the Democrat leaders of the city and the state....

For decades, grieving parents have been told their infants died of “sudden infant death syndrome” (SIDS), a vague diagnosis that conveniently absolves vaccine manufacturers of blame. But groundbreaking research now reveals the chilling truth: Vaccines are killing babies — and the medical establishment has been hiding it. A new study published in the International Journal of Medical Sciences uncovers the biological mechanisms linking vaccines to SIDS, proving that toxic vaccine ingredients overwhelm infants’ underdeveloped detox pathways, leading to fatal inflammation, brainstem damage and respiratory failure. Key points: Infants lack mature liver enzymes (CYP450) needed to process toxic vaccine ingredients like...

The United States on Wednesday vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza because it was not linked to the release of hostages. All 14 other members of the council voted in favor of the resolution, which described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “catastrophic” and called on Israel to lift all restrictions on the delivery of aid to the 2.1 million Palestinians in the territory. The resolution before the U.N.'s most powerful body also did not fulfill two other U.S. demands: It did not condemn Hamas’ deadly attack in Israel on Oct. 7,...

'What these school districts are doing is flat-out discriminatory and dangerous.'A 16-year-old girl is fighting back after she was kicked out of school for not getting a vaccine doctors say could harm her.

A commencement speaker accused the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) of being part of wiping "Palestine from the face of the Earth" Thursday, leading multiple students to walk out. Megha M. Vemuri, MIT's class of 2025 president, praised her classmates for protesting against Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks and the ensuing Gaza War. "Last spring, MIT's undergraduate body and graduate student union voted overwhelmingly to cut ties with the genocidal Israeli military. You called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. And you stood in solidarity with the pro-Palestinian activists on campus. You faced...
