This week, Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president, and Polly Tommey, CHD.TV programming manager, covered the latest headlines on COVID-19, Big Pharma and other issues, including news that the Biden administration this week purchased $290 million worth of Nplate, a radiation sickness drug — with serious side effects.

Polly and Mary also discussed that the Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo has issued new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine guidance.

Plus, judicial watch obtained 249 pages of records from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services detailing the extensive media plans for a propaganda campaign to push the COVID-19 vaccine.

Also on tap this week: In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Sandra Miarecki, Ph.D. — the only known civilian member of the Air Force who refused the experimental COVID-19 vaccine on the basis that the mandate is illegal — discussed the events leading up to her being fired.

More of this week’s highlights:

  • Two doctors on Tuesday became the first to file a federal lawsuit to stop a new California law (AB 2098) that subjects the state’s doctors to discipline, including the suspension of their medical licenses, for sharing “misinformation” or “disinformation” about COVID-19 with their patients. “It is very clear that this law violates the constitution,” said Mary.
  • Two new studies — one about thyroid eye disease and one about encephalitis — highlighted negative health outcomes associated with COVID-19 vaccination, and a third study suggested the COVID-19 vaccine provided only 15% protection against the risk of “long COVID.”
  • After analyzing the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports of injuries following COVID-19 vaccines, Jessica Rose, Ph.D., concluded “human physiology is seemingly at the mercy of whatever’s in these shots, particularly the mRNA shots, but not exclusively.”  “These shots are causing unprecedented harm,” said Mary.
  • Data collected from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s V-safe app reveal that women and also recipients of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines were disproportionately affected by adverse events following their vaccination. “This really suggests that the CDC has been hiding the data,” said Mary.
  • The CDC released new data showing some 782,900 people reported seeking medical attention, emergency room care and/or hospitalization following COVID-19 vaccination and another 2.5 million people reported needing to miss school, work or other normal activities.
  • A peer-reviewed scientific review in the Journal of Insulin Resistance, written by cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, called for the immediate suspension of all COVID-19 shots as real-world data show they cause more harm than good. “This is unraveling all of this deception,” said Polly.
  • Video games could trigger heart attacks in young people.
  • Recommendations are being made for a fifth booster vaccine, but the emergency authorizations of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s bivalent COVID-19 boosters are based on preliminary test results from only eight mice, and that data hasn’t even been made public.
  • Evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 being the result of a lab leak, and that Dr. Anthony Fauci, Harvard researchers, China, the mainstream media, the World Health Organization and tech companies all worked together to cover it up. “This is the must-read article of the week,” said Mary.
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Boostrix for immunization during the third trimester of pregnancy to prevent pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, in infants younger than two months of age. “No fetus should be exposed to any of this,” said Polly.
  • Despite reports that COVID-19 vaccines cause blood abnormalities, the American Red Cross and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration continue to brush off concerns that the massive vaccine campaign may have contaminated the country’s blood supply. “This is a really big issue,” said Mary.
  • The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario instructed doctors to prescribe medication or refer patients to psychotherapy if they are COVID-19 vaccine hesitant. “People aren’t buying it,” said Mary.
  • Bird flu spreads to Southern California, infecting chickens, wild birds, and other animals.
  • A peer-reviewed Danish study found a mother’s exposure to toxic “forever chemicals” during her first trimester could result in a lower sperm concentration, lower total sperm count, and a higher proportion of nonprogressive and immotile sperm in her adult son. “This is an amazing study,” said Mary.
  • A third of 38 brands of dental floss tested positive for PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” which are linked to reproductive problems, birth defects, testicular cancer and a host of other diseases.
  • Google tracks every single move you make online if you’re using a Google-based product. All Google products are interconnected, and Google collects the data from all its various products and services to build your personality profile. “Google is a global monopoly,” said Mary. “If you want to preserve freedom, you have to preserve privacy.”
