In 2016, Dr. Marcus Zervos agreed to the unthinkable: test the vaccinated against the unvaccinated. Convinced it would prove vaccines safe, he vowed to publish the results no matter what. Those results never saw the light of day—until now. Here’s what the buried study revealed. Meet Dr. Marcus Zervos, head of infectious disease at Henry Ford Health in Detroit. He’s as pro-vaccine as they come. In 2016, he crossed paths with health freedom journalist Del Bigtree, who urged him to take on something public health had avoided for decades: a study comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children....

A new taxpayer-funded study shows just how far the medical establishment will go to make sure Americans fall in line with the COVID vaccine agenda. Titled “Different Vaccination Debunking Interventions,” the newly published paper isn’t about developing safer vaccines, studying side effects, or investigating long-term risks. Instead, researchers (with significant conflicts of interest with big pharma) wanted to learn how to convince skeptical Americans to get several COVID-19 shots. The University of Pennsylvania researchers earned praise from the media for uncovering the “best ways to debunk COVID vaccine misinformation,” particularly among the vaccine hesitant. There’s a clear conflict of interest...

Summary Official: the two speak regularly, don't share same passion Trump had played down likelihood Kennedy would make radical change Data shows COVID-19 vaccines saved lives WASHINGTON, Sept 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is standing by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary who is upending the U.S. healthcare system, despite congressional pressure, public health concerns and the political risks of changing vaccine policies nationwide. Since becoming the top U.S. health official, Kennedy has slashed funding for vaccine research, limited access for COVID-19 shots and ousted the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which makes U.S....

“Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate,” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a recent video.“They’re pressured to follow the money, not the science.”Doctors administer dozens of vaccines to many children in the United States. Adults are also advised to receive multiple shots.Here’s what to know about vaccines and payments.What Does the Literature Say?A review of studies confirms that some doctors profit from vaccinating.In a 2020 paper, researchers found when analyzing three years’ worth of vaccination claims for five Colorado clinics that reimbursements averaged 125 percent of costs, making administering vaccines “financially favorable across the practices.”Another...

Governors in California, Oregon and Washington said their states would work together on vaccine guidance in a time of turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.California, Oregon and Washington announced plans on Wednesday to form a “health alliance” that would coordinate vaccine recommendations for the three states at a time of unparalleled turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the federal agency responsible for issuing vaccine guidance for the country.The alliance is intended to provide residents with scientific data about vaccine safety and efficacy, and to issue guidance on vaccines for respiratory illnesses like Covid and...

President Trump on Monday demanded drug companies make their data on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines available to the public, suggesting that the “question” over whether the jab actually saved lives has “ripped apart” the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW,” Trump wrote*** “I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others,...

For many Catholics, the Covid era was regarded as an illumination of sorts. Churches were shuttered, government slipped on an iron glove, and separations began to ensue. These could be seen as contractions, if you will, prior to the more serious birth pangs foretold in Matthew 24: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom…Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me” (Matthew 24:7, 9). We also saw, in relation to the issue of Covid vaccination, a kind of secular division among friends,...

For the first time in 30 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics is substantially diverging from U.S. government vaccine recommendations. The group’s new COVID-19 recommendations — released Tuesday — come amid a tumultuous year for public health, as vaccine skeptics have come into power in the new Trump administration and government guidance has become increasingly confusing. This isn't going to help, acknowledged Dr. James Campbell, vice chair of the AAP infectious disease committee. “It is going to be somewhat confusing. But our opinion is we need to make the right choices for children to protect them,” he added. The AAP...

Professor says he had immunity after contracting the virus so ‘it made no sense to force him to get a vaccine’ Nearly five years since the COVID-19 virus took the world by storm, those claiming injury from government vaccine mandates continue to come forward with new cases for litigation. Such is the position of Professor Russell Stewart (pictured), who lost his job after his opposition to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s vaccine mandates. Now, the professor is suing the Democrat governor and leaders of Lake Superior College, a public community college in Duluth. On Tuesday, his lawyers at the New Civil...

President Trump has just ORDERED all federal agencies to DELETE employees’ COVID-19 vaccination statuses They also must delete any records of vaccine non-compliance and exemptions FINALLY! NOBODY should be discriminated against for refusing the vax! .... never forget the amount of evil that took place during Covid ... It turned neighbors and family members against each other. . ... Crimes against humanity ... Never forget. ... US Employers must do the same. And any Employer who enforced the mandate must pay all vaccine injury related medical bills of past and present employees they forced to get a jab

Agency may have been the target of shooter who blamed his illness on COVID shotsA gunman opened fire on the CDC campus in Atlanta on Friday evening, and the shooter and a police officer are dead, according to authorities. Sources inside the CDC shared images with MedPage Today showing multiple windows with bullet holes that appeared to be in different rooms, on various floors. CNN reportedopens in a new tab or window that the CDC may have been the target of the shooter. Police think the shooter believed he was sick due to the COVID vaccine, the outlet reported. During...

When it came to COVID, we were lied to. On every level imaginable. From day one of the so-called pandemic, the American people were manipulated, censored, and coerced by a corrupt group of public health goons, Big Pharma execs, media vultures, and political tyrants. They told us this virus was “unstoppable” without lockdowns, flimsy masks, mandates, and worst of all, some untested, very rushed mRNA vaccine. A vaccine, by the way, that failed to stop infection. ... It also failed to prevent transmission… And a vaccine that, according to the evidence, may have actually prolonged the pandemic, making people sicker...

Cambodia recently announced that it plans to nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. In response, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, naming other conflicts that Trump has “ended,” said that, “It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” I agree that it’s “well past time.” To be specific: Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for Operation Warp Speed (OWS), which through a classic public/private partnership during the final year of his first term helped bring the world back from one of the worst pandemics in history. This effort produced novel vaccines, therapeutics, and...

US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has scrapped over $500 million (€432 million) in federal vaccine funding, announcing a pivot towards developing a so-called “universal vaccine” designed to mimic natural immunity. In a statement on August 6, 2025, Kennedy confirmed that the US Department of Health and Human Services will cancel 22 vaccine development projects (all using mRNA technology) in favour of “safer, broader vaccine strategies.” The move, affecting major players like Pfizer and Moderna, has sparked fierce backlash from public health experts across the US. Kennedy claimed the goal is a new, all-in-one jab that could offer protection...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine official, Vinay Prasad, has left the agency after just three months as Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, a government spokesperson said. Prasad, an oncologist who was a fierce critic of U.S. COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates, had been appointed in May by FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. Together they had promised to speed regulatory action and pilot new review pathways. In recent days, criticism of Prasad's tenure has intensified around the agency's handling of a gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy from Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT.O), opens new tab. The...

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s next step toward making America Healthy again is an outright ban on thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, found in common vaccines. “I’m proud to finally deliver on a long-overdue promise: protecting our most vulnerable from unnecessary mercury exposure,” Kennedy stated on a video posted on X, noting that the chemical is a known neurotoxin that has been administered to millions of Americans. The former director of the FDA, Willian Egan, admitted in 2001 that the safety of this preservative had never been studied. The government simply allowed the pharmaceutical agencies to incorporate it in vaccines...
