A comatose Florida woman on a ventilator with COVID-19 stunned her family when she suddenly woke up more than a month later — on the day she was expected to be taken off life support. Florida resident Bettina Lerman, 69, who was not vaccinated, was visiting Maine with her son Andrew Lerman to help care for his cancer-stricken father, who also contracted COVID-19 but has recovered, CNN reported. After getting infected with the deadly bug, Lerman was hospitalized at Maine Medical Center in Portland on Sept. 12 and was placed on a ventilator nine days later, according to the network....

"Here I am, willing to be a direct donor to her. It does not affect any other patient on the transplant list,"*Jaimee Fougner, Leilani Lutali’s kidney donor, told CBS4. "How can I sit here and allow them to murder my friend when I’ve got a perfectly good kidney and can save her life?" Lutali said she received a letter from Colorado health system UCHealth at the end of September explaining that she and Fougner have 30 days to begin the vaccine process. They would be removed from the kidney transplant list if they refuse the shots.*

We know that the government has issued blanket liability protection for the COVID jabs. This means if you are one of the many thousands who have an adverse reaction to a COVID vaccination you have no legal recourse (as in this nurse's story: https://bit.ly/3tIe8BF). I have a question. Has anyone asked their provider (doctor, nurse, or technician) to sign a release waiving their blanket liability protection? In other words, if they want to badger you into the jab are they willing to put a little skin in the game if something goes wrong?

FILE - In this Thursday, Aug. 26, 2021 file photo, a syringe is prepared with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at a mobile vaccine clinic in Santa Ana, Calif. HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -- A second pregnant woman in Hawaii who was hospitalized with COVID has died after giving birth, the chair of the Hawaii State Maternal Review Committee confirmed. The woman’s baby survived and is reported to be healthy. The maternal death is the second this month in the islands, https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2021/09/14/devastating-first-hawaii-doctors-confirm-covid-death-pregnant-woman/ and comes as the state grapples with an ongoing surge in COVID infections, hospitalizations and fatalities.

We are at a fraught turning point. In less than two decades we have morphed from a society that largely opposed same-sex marriage to a society that denies opposite sexes even exist. This is madness. The powers-that-be, from craven politicians to empty talking heads to anonymous internet trolls, have somehow framed the gender debate to present us with a false choice: Conform to gender activists’ demands, no matter how extreme, or you’re a “hater.” Some demands, however, are so anti-scientific, illogical and unreasonable that people of goodwill and common sense must act. Modern society is already in tatters. It won’t...

The woman behind the controversial 1619 Project has no business working as a tenured university professor, historians and political scientists told the Washington Free Beacon—and they scoffed at a lawsuit the journalist is reportedly preparing to litigate the University of North Carolina’s decision to deny her tenure. Nikole Hannah-Jones, the New York Times journalist who emerged from obscurity to become one of the most prominent voices in media, is gearing up to sue the University of North Carolina for racial discrimination after the school denied her tenure in May. While the move was met with outrage in many corners, a...

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama, March 31, 2021 (Operation Rescue) – A troubled Alabama abortion facility where a woman received a fatal abortion last year was cited for serious personnel and infection control violations during a four-visit inspection that took place four months after a patient died last year.

During that abortion, she suffered a perforated uterus that caused internal injuries and hemorrhaging, according to her autopsy report....

This is so funny, and by ‘funny’ I mean deadly, end times, super-serious and life-threatening kind of funny, if there is such a thing. Now that they have convinced half a billion people to take two rounds of the COVID jab, including people who swore last year they would never take it, today comes the ‘update’ that within a year all those jabs will be ineffective, and it will all have to be done over again. And again, and again, and again, I think you see where this is leading, don’t you? Let me break it down if you’re still...

Bandy Lee, the psychiatrist who repeatedly diagnosed Trump as mentally unfit and dangerous, without ever even having met him, has apparently been fired by Yale University. What a shame. At one point, Lee’s frequent long-distance diagnoses extended to Professor Alan Dershowitz. He wrote a strongly worded letter to Yale, which apparently played a role. This all began unfolding last spring, but we’re just finding out now. Yale Daily News reports: Former professor says Yale fired her over tweet on Trump, Dershowitz... Bandy Lee MED ’94 DIV ’95, a formerly Yale-affiliated faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry in School of...

A former psychiatry professor at Yale University is suing the Ivy League school, alleging that she was fired because of her mental health diagnosis of President Donald Trump, whom she had never met. Dr. Bandy Lee, who previously worked as an affiliated faculty member in the psychiatry department of Yale’s medical school, on Monday filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the university, reported student newspaper the Yale Daily News. She demands reinstatement and compensation for damages, including “economic losses” and “emotional distress.” Lee has been questioning the mental health of Trump since 2017, when she became the editor of “The...

Journalism today likes to provoke us, do you feel provoked? In the blueprint for modern journalism, "Public Opinion", Lippmann wrote on Page 355 the following: It is a problem of provoking feeling in the reader, of inducing him to feel a sense of personal identification with the stories he is reading. News which does not offer this opportunity to introduce oneself into the struggle which it depicts cannot appeal to a wide audience. The audience must participate in the news, much as it participates in the drama, by personal identification. Just as everyone holds his breath when the heroine is...

At least 28,100 residents and workers have died from the coronavirus at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities for older adults in the United States, according to a left-wing New York Times database. The virus so far has infected more than 153,000 at some 7,700 facilities. Deaths from these places alone have accounted for 68.6 percent of all deaths in Pennsylvania as of Tuesday, according to state data. Spotlight PA, a partnership between the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and Harrisburg’s PennLive, also found evidence the Pennsylvania Department of Health drafted a quick strike plan to protect nursing homes...

Today is a shameful, shameful day. I'm not even a credentialed historian, I'm just a citizen historian. I chose to be an outsider on purpose because these people in the historical field are dirty and it makes me proud to not be associated with them. But today, we learned just how deep in the mud they are. Even pigs are looking at historians today and shaking their heads. Nikole Hannah-Jones, chief propagandist for The New York Times' 1619 Project, has been awarded a Pulitzer for her disreputable work. You want to know just how corrupt history departments are? Nationwide, look...

Clinical trials are key to effective treatments, even if it means LONG DELAYS IN THE USE OF the MAJORITY OF PATIENTS WHO NEED THEM, said Dr. William Schaffner, medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases and an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “There are any number of drugs in the laboratory that seem to have some kind of anti-viral effect,” he said. “That’s very intriguing. But there’s a long distance between what works in the lab and what works in humans.” But some experts are pushing back against the hype, warning that none of these...

Can't copy any of article. Details medical and social problems with trying to "change sex." Says Lupron, puberty suppression drug, lowers IQ 7-9 points (at least, I assume)

Four years ago, I wrote about my decision to live as a woman in The New York Times, writing that I had wanted to live “authentically as the woman that I have always been,” and had “effectively traded my white male privilege to become one of America’s most hated minorities.” Three years ago, I decided that I was neither male nor female, but nonbinary—and made headlines after an Oregon judge agreed to let me identify as a third sex, not male or female. Now, I want to live again as the man that I am. I’m one of the lucky...

Four psychiatrists and several medical professionals in various fields say they are volunteering to advise Democrats that President Trump is not qualified to be president. The team's offer was announced by Bandy Lee, a psychiatrist from Yale. "We think that hearing about mental health aspects in the context of the impeachment hearings is critical, partly because, for the past 2.5 years we have been very deeply concerned about mental instability of the president, and pretty much all that we have said has born (sic) out to be true," said Lee, the Washington Examiner reported. The team includes four psychiatrists, a...

The 911 record has been released of a call from a friend of a woman who died in a botched legal abortion. During the call, Tia Parks’ friend says she is having shortness of breath and “feels like she’s gonna pass out.” Tia Parks died one day after her unborn baby was aborted at the Preterm Abortion facility in Cleveland. Preterm is the largest abortion facility in Ohio, performing more than one third of all abortions in the state. Tia Archeiva Parks was a 26-year-old mother of a little girl that had just turned four when she walked in to...

Windell Davis-Boutté, a DeKalb County dermatologist who caused a bride-to-be to become permanently brain damaged while dancing and singing during a tummy tuck, has been ordered to pay $190,000 in consumer restitution after a slew of malpractice suits against her. Attorney General Chris Carr said that Boutte’ and the practices she owns—Premiere Dermatology & Surgery, LLC, Aesthetic Laser & Boutique, Inc. and Boutté Contour Surgery & Dermatology, P.C.—have entered into a consent judgment with the State of Georgia in response to allegations that they violated the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act by falsely representing Boutté’s medical certifications and failing to...

The age of consent in Washington is sixteen. Was a report of suspected child sex abuse filed? Tacoma, WA — As pro-life activists peacefully prayed outside the Cedar River Clinic in Tacoma, Washington, on Monday, July 15, 2019, they noticed a woman who was taking her young daughter into the abortion facility. One of the pro-life activists reached out to offer assistance to the mother and her pregnant daughter, but those offers were unfortunately refused. What happened next may have made that mother wish she had taken the time to listen. Once inside, her 15-year old daughter was prepped for...
