Sports analyst Stephen A. Smith apologized for condemning NBA basketball player Kyrie Irving for refusing to get the covid vaccine during the pandemic, saying "like most people, I thought Dr. Fauci and President Biden were looking out for the American people. All the major media were saying that the vaccines were safe and effective and that folks who didn't get vaccinated were endangering the health of others for resisting the pressure to get vaccinated. Now I realize that we were all wrong." "When Dr. Fauci testified in Congress last month I expected him to apologize for his mistakes during the...

Dr. Stanley Plotkin is considered the godfather of vaccines. He reluctantly admitted the horrific facts about abortion and vaccine manufacturing — facts the pharmaceutical industry has spent decades hiding. He claimed only two fetuses were involved in his work. Then the lawyer handed him a study he authored — using 76 aborted babies. Plotkin was forced to admit the truth: They weren’t miscarriages. All were over three months’ gestation. All were normally developed. They were aborted for social and psychiatric reasons — so their organs could be harvested. Lungs. Kidneys. Hearts. Tongues. Pituitary glands. Chopped into pieces and cultured for...

New York’s Amish community is issuing an ultimatum to state bureaucrats: leave us alone or we’re packing up our buggies for greener pastures. The threat has been sparked by a vaccine mandate fight that the 25,000 strong religious community is taking all the way to the Supreme Court. It takes place as state Health Department officials continue to slap thousands in fines on tiny, one-room parochial Amish schools which have refused to comply with a Cuomo-era vaccine decree. “Have we gotten to a place where we aren’t going to make room for the Amish anymore?” Hiram Sasser, an attorney representing...

Moderna stock more than doubled Wednesday after the biotechnology company and Merck announced that their personalized mRNA cancer vaccine significantly delayed the return and spread of melanoma in a late-stage clinical trial. The breakthrough could give Moderna its most important commercial opportunity since COVID-19, strengthen Merck’s dominant Keytruda franchise and open the door to an entirely new class of individualized cancer treatments. However, investors should recognize that the companies have released only topline results, while detailed efficacy data, regulatory decisions, manufacturing economics and overall-survival results remain outstanding.Moderna’s long-promised second act may finally be coming into focus.Shares of Moderna jumped approximately...

They published screenshots showing a fraction of these – 11 texts sent during Fauci’s tenure as director (NIAID). exchange on January 25, 2021, Dr. Vivek Murthy, member of Biden’s Covid advisory board, asked about risk to pregnant, whether Fauci knew any “data or reason vaccinating early vs late in pregnancy would be preferred.” Fauci “no data or theoretical reason to believe that vaccinating early versus later would be preferred.” “Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, could be associated with miscarriage 1st trimester.” Walensky, -director CDC, “ good point, esp after dose two.”...

Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul on Monday released the first batch of text messages from Dr. Fauci’s Covid-era iPhone. The text messages revealed that Fauci privately knew that the Covid vaccine caused miscarriages in pregnant women. Fauci covered up the data that revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. Dr. Anthony Fauci privately discussed concerns about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for pregnant women in January 2021, including questions about fever after a second dose and a theoretical risk of miscarriage during the first trimester, according to newly released text messages. The exchange involved Fauci, then-Centers...

Health and Human Services Secretary and avowed nemesis of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has weighed in on the ongoing hearing involving the wicked doctor.. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former NIAID director and face of America’s disastrous COVID response, finally appeared under subpoena Wednesday morning before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which Paul chairs. The hearing, titled “Testimony of Anthony Fauci,” began at 8:30 a.m. ET on July 29 in Room SD-342 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building, according to the official committee notice. This hearing comes after...

From roughly the 8:20 mark onward in the Glenn Beck clip (“Fauci’s Newly Released Diary EXPOSES His Lies? Here Is What He Wrote…”): Glenn notes that Fauci is scheduled to testify before Congress (with Rand Paul present) and points out that the Biden pardon covers past actions from the prior ~10 years. As a result, Fauci cannot be federally prosecuted for those covered past offenses, so he could theoretically admit to them without new legal jeopardy for the underlying conduct. Glenn’s prediction, however, is that Fauci will still plead the Fifth. He explains why this creates a problem: because the...

We, the undersigned, call on Congress to repeal the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which grants vaccine manufacturers broad immunity from civil liability, even in cases of negligence or serious injury. No product that is truly safe should require blanket legal immunity. Shielding manufacturers from accountability removes a fundamental incentive for rigorous safety testing and denies injured individuals their basic right to seek justice through the courts. Americans deserve the same legal protections for vaccines that apply to other medical products. Restoring civil liability will strengthen public trust, improve safety standards, and reaffirm the principle that no corporation...

A former Long Island nurse who raked in $1.5 million selling fake vaccine cards during the COVID-19 pandemic was slapped with a record-breaking $544,000 fine from the state. Ex-Amityville practitioner Julie DeVuono, 53, who pleaded guilty to forgery and money laundering back in 2023 was hit with the massive penalty for a “large-scale” scheme where she hawked the phony cards to parents of 162 school-aged kids between November 2019 and January 2022, the state Department of Health announced Thursday. “This is the largest civil penalty imposed for vaccination fraud in the Department of Health’s 125-year history,” state Health Commissioner Dr....

Police in Payette, Idaho, arrested Andrea Shaw on Tuesday afternoon, more than a year after her two children — fraternal twins Dallas and Tyson Shaw — were found dead at their home on May 1, 2025, eight days after receiving their 18-month vaccines.Police charged Shaw with two counts of first-degree murder. Shaw said doctors ignored her when she warned that the twins’ father had previously experienced a bad reaction to a flu vaccine.

Less than two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the flu vaccine optional for U.S. servicemen and women, an outbreak on a Texas air base has sickened nearly 160 people, The New York Times reported on Thursday.

June 1 (Reuters) - Global health organisation CEPI will give roughly $60 million to Moderna (MRNA.O), opens new tab and two other groups to accelerate the development of shots ​against Ebola Bundibugyo, the deadly virus that has swept through eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations was one of the ‌early investors that helped to develop a vaccine at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Richard Hatchett, head of CEPI, told Reuters on Monday it was possible to get Ebola Bundibugyo (BDBV) vaccines ready for trials within a couple of months. There are currently no approved...

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is taking aim at the FDA, accusing the agency of concealing COVID vaccine injuries and calling it 'the largest government scandal in my lifetime.' He joined Fox News host Maria Bartiromo and others to discuss the issue. Thank you @MariaBartiromo for covering what the legacy media refuses to: the largest government scandal in my lifetime. FDA officials were fully aware of COVID injection injuries — including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, stroke, and Bell’s palsy — but kept them… pic.twitter.com/LrSVSa1w6Q — Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) May 26, 2026 "They were warned by their data-mining analysts, their...

Kyle Busch, a generational talent who rose to become a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and one of the sport’s greatest drivers, died Thursday. He was 41. Busch’s death, which was announced by the Busch family, NASCAR and Richard Childress Racing, marked a sudden, staggering blow to the motorsports community. His team had indicated earlier Thursday that Busch had been hospitalized with a severe illness.

s Dr. Anthony Fauci’s right-hand man, David Morens, was charged this week with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in the COVID-19 cover-up, another scandal over the vaccine was unfolding on Capitol Hill. According to a new Senate report and congressional testimony on Wednesday, Biden administration health officials deliberately ignored warning signs of possible serious reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, including heart attacks, strokes, Bell’s palsy and sudden cardiac death. Within three months of the vaccines being rolled out, in March 2021, red flags were fluttering out of the weekly data dumps from doctors and patients reporting health problems after...

Top health officials don't want you to read this, that's exactly why you shouldEarlier this month, the Washington Post broke the news that Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, the CDC's temporary top official, delayed and then blocked a COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness paper from appearing in the agency's flagship scientific journal, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). The manuscript was a typical one for the VISION (Virtual SARS-CoV-2, Influenza, and Other Respiratory Viruses) Network, a research collaborative between the CDC, Westat, and multiple U.S. health systems. Since 2019, the VISION Network has studied vaccine effectiveness using real-world data. Its investigations have routinely...

One of the most pressing issues facing the scientific and medical communities is the catastrophic loss of the public’s trust in accepting their advice and/or recommendations. And it’s overwhelmingly due to their own actions and statements. There are books' worth of examples worth of examples. Such as the early part of the pandemic when they flip-flopped on masks, from claiming that they didn’t work to stating that getting 80% of the public to wear them would end the pandemic in a matter of weeks, to their claims that the lab leak was a racist conspiracy theory, and all the way...
