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 the latest news that a judge struck down the vaccine mandate for New York City public employees. 

Polly and Mary also discussed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) independent vaccine advisory committee voted unanimously (15-0) to add COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months old to the new Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedules, which will be rolled out in February 2023. It’s time for people to stop consenting and stop complying, Mary said.

Also on tap this week: The CDC was forced to release its V-safe database, which revealed 770,000 people required medical care after getting a COVID-19 vaccine and 2.5 million people missed work or school or suffered a serious side effect.

More of this week’s highlights:

  • Pfizer expects to roughly quadruple the price of its COVID-19 vaccine to $110-$130 per dose after the U.S. government’s current purchase program expires. “This is one more piece of evidence that people aren’t buying it,” said Mary.
  • COVID-19 is much less deadly in the non-elderly population than previously thought, according to a major new study of antibody prevalence surveys. The study is still undergoing peer review. 
  • Six COVID-19 vaccine injury claims have now been determined to be eligible for compensation, a Health Resources and Services Administration official said. “This is an unbelievably tiny substack of those eligible for compensation,” said Mary. 
  • A new analysis of the COVID-19 virus suggests that Dr. Anthony Fauci and University of North Carolina of Chapel Hill professor Ralph Baric were involved in the creation of the pandemic bug. “This is giving us a foretaste of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book,” said Mary.
  • Doctors are afraid to speak out about COVID-19 treatment and the dangers of COVID-19 shots because they can lose their ability to practice medicine if they challenge the mainstream narrative. “You can’t have science if you can’t have speech,” said Mary.
  • Analysis of U.S. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report data suggests the CDC has been filtering and redesignating cancer deaths as COVID-19 deaths since April 2021 to eliminate the cancer signal. “This is huge,” said Polly.
  • When so many cases of infection occur in vaccinated people — and they occur immediately after the therapy — should these really be called “breakthrough” infections?
  • In England, a member of Parliament said that the National Health Service should launch specialized clinics for people who suffered long-lasting illness after getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
  • The CDC’s decision to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of recommended childhood vaccines without publicizing clinical trial data could cause “unintended harm,” Johns Hopkins School of Medicine professor Dr. Marty Makary said, warning that the move will further fuel vaccine hesitancy surrounding childhood immunizations. “Mainstream people are waking up,” said Mary.
  • The CDC now recommends Novavax COVID-19 boosters for adults in the U.S., including for people who received Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson shots as their primary series. “It is so obvious that there is no science behind this,” said Mary.
  • Scientists identified two antibodies they believe are so effective at neutralizing COVID-19 — and all of its variants — that they could serve as an “effective substitute for vaccines.”
  • Bioweapons expert Francis Boyle, J.D., Ph.D., said the Biden administration’s new $88 billion national biodefense strategy signals the U.S. is expanding its biological warfare industry “for the purpose of waging biological warfare.” “Everything goes back to Fauci,” said Mary. “It is deeply troubling.”
  • Indiana University School of Medicine researchers who found glyphosate in 99% of the pregnant women they observed in the Midwest said the toxic chemical levels were associated with lower birth weight and possibly also higher neonatal intensive care unit admission risk.
  • Texas schools are encouraging parents to store their children’s DNA and fingerprint records in case they need to provide them to law enforcement if kids go missing.
  • The authors of a peer-reviewed study warned about the risks of exposure to radiation from 5G technology and said their research shows existing exposure limits for wireless radiation are inadequate, outdated and harmful to human health and wildlife. “People don’t know what they are being exposed to,” said Mary.
  • Budget supermarket Aldi is considering selling edible insect recipe kits as the cost of living crisis hits families.
