This week, Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president on leave, and Polly Tommey, CHD.TV programming manager, covered the latest headlines on COVID-19, Big Pharma and other issues, including that getting more COVID-19 vaccines may increase the likelihood of getting the virus.

Polly and Mary also discussed safety signals mRNA injection safety signals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered a link between rates of heart inflammation and COVID-19-vaccinated young teens. Mary spoke to the “ludicrous” conclusion that the authors of the study came to and that “only 23 people have been declared … eligible for compensation for their injuries.”

Plus, the World Health Organization (WHO) has a new initiative. This surveillance agenda seeks to fight back against dissenting voices using “social listening surveillance systems.” Mary drew attention to the collaboration between the WHO and Google and its striking similarity to recent censorship programs through social media sites.

Also on tap this week: Experts warned that the influx in artificial intelligence may end in human extinction. Advocates of the technology continue to push for approval of their products. Such is the case with Elon Musk’s Neuralink. The FDA recently cleared Neuralink to conduct clinical trials for brain implants in humans.

More of this week’s highlights:

  • Not a single 18-49-year-old without preexisting conditions died of COVID-19, according to an Israeli report. “This was an unnecessary experiment,” Mary stated.
  • A 24-year-old died from complications of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis. Subsequently, his family sued the U.S. Department of Defense over claims of “safety and efficacy” in relation to the Emergency Use Authorization immunizations.
  • Dr. Richard Eggleston faces disciplinary action for questioning the COVID-19 narrative, alleged to have “promulgated misinformation” in regard to SARS-CoV-2 and its treatment. Recently, Eggleston won an emergency injunction through a Washington state appeals court regarding this case.
  • John Campbell, Ph.D., a retired professor of nursing with clinical experience in England, examined the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) clinical trials for universal mRNA flu vaccination. These new immunizations are in Phase 1 trials and the U.K. committed to a  £1 billion deal with Moderna to buy its mRNA vaccines for 10 years. Is there a concerted effort of the powers at be to “push mRNA technology into everything?” asked Polly.
  • A Pfizer vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was approved for adults 60 and older. The press release acknowledged anticipation of increased viral rates in the upcoming fall season.
  • Financial incentives for doctors to vaccinate children have historical precedence. And the year-end bonus for these pediatricians may surprise you. “It’s going to get worse,” Polly warned.
  • The NIH spent more than $1 billion to study long COVID. However, the majority of this money was not spent on providing help to patients but rather to watch, track and record symptoms of long COVID.
  • A Seattle school went virtual after a student received a positive measles test.
  • Johnson & Johnson filed a legal challenge in an effort to delay a class action lawsuit alleging Tylenol caused autism spectrum disorder or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children.
  • Should you be concerned about the disinfectant wipes used in your home? Certain compounds found in mouthwash, detergents, eye drops and other household products are linked to reproductive dysfunction. Other health issues associated with exposure to these chemicals include metabolic disruption, asthma and skin disorders.
  • Certain data on fluoride’s impact on children’s IQ was “intentionally omitted” by researchers to undermine the forthcoming National Toxicology Program report linking neurodevelopmental damage and exposure to this chemical, which can be found in dental products and drinking water.
  • The use of genetically engineered (GE) insects is a $27 million dollar Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency program. This project, “Insect Allies,” proposes to use bugs to deliver GE viruses and edit plants’ genetic traits in the field. “This could easily be shifted over to military purposes,” Mary cautioned.
