Documents from FDA, Pfizer show that COVID “vaccine” shedding is REAL

PROOF: Documents from FDA, Pfizer show that COVID “vaccine” shedding is REAL

Dr Eddy Betterman

Up until now, most of the research exposing Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” as dangerous – and exposing those who take them as disease and death spreaders – has come from independent sources. Now, the truth is coming from the federal government and Big Tech.

It took the sleuthing public, including the diligent truth-seekers at the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) advocacy group, a while to find all this, but we now know from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) itself that mRNA gene therapy products like those manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna do, in fact, shed onto others from those who take them.

A 2015 FDA document called “Design and Analysis of Shedding Studies for Virus or Bacteria-Based Gene Therapy and Oncolytic Products” defines shedding as “the release of [viral or bacterial gene therapy products] … from the patient through one or all of the following ways: excreta (feces); secreta (urine, saliva, nasopharyngeal fluids etc.); or through the skin (pustules, sores, wounds).”

The same document goes on to explain, according to the FDA, what gene therapy products are:

“All products that mediate their effects by transcription and/or translation of transferred genetic material.”

Since both the mRNA injections for COVID and adenovirus vaccines fall into this category, this is a clear-cut admission from the FDA itself that people who are “fully vaccinated” for COVID shed these poisons onto others through contact or close proximity, vindicating independent researchers who have been warning about this threat for years.

Effects from Vaccine SHEDDING and the cure for being around the VACCINATED

Babies drinking spike protein breast milk

At a recent FLCCC conference in Phoenix, Dr. Pierre Kory delineated on the shedding phenomenon and the risks involved. Unfortunately for those who get shed on, the fully jabbed are contaminating others with spike proteins and other deadly jab components that are now being found in breast milk. And the threat can last for at least half a year after a person gets injected, meaning the risk of shedding is not just a temporary thing that lasts a few days as some claim.

“Shedding is unfortunately real,” Dr. Kory stated at the conference. “The FDA knows that.”

The FDA continues to deny all this, having issued a statement to The Epoch Times claiming that COVID jabs “are not regulated as gene therapy products,” thus making the guidance document previously cited “not applicable to the COVID-19 vaccines.” It does not stop there, though.

As Dr. Kory also explained, Pfizer’s own literature likewise explains that participants in its COVID injection trials risk spreading the poisons to others around them through inhalation or skin contact. Pfizer described this risk using the following two examples of potential “environmental exposures:”

“A male participant who is receiving or has discontinued [vaccine] intervention exposes a female partner prior to or around the time of conception.”

“A female family member or healthcare provider reports that she is pregnant after having been exposed to the [vaccine] intervention through inhalation or skin contact.”

There is also the risk of “secondary shedding,” which occurs when someone who gets shed on through environmental exposure by someone who got fully vaccinated then sheds it a second time to someone else.

“An example of environmental exposure during breastfeeding is a female family member or healthcare provider who reports that she is breastfeeding after having been exposed to the study intervention (the vaccine) by inhalation or skin contact,” Pfizer’s internal documents further admit, warning about adverse effects that could arise from these “indirect exposures.”

Expelling US troops: Iraq’s resistance efforts gain steam in Baghdad

Posted on by

Photo Credit: The Cradle

The Cradle

Surveillance devices on a local Baghdad thoroughfare captured on camera the assassination of an Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades leader, Abu Baqir al-Saadi, in a 7 February US missile attack. The images show a missile piercing the roof of his vehicle, then deviating to the right of Al-Baladiyat street, leaving a wake of flames in its incendiary path.

Against the backdrop of the widening, US-backed and armed Israeli war on Gaza, the US airstrikes against Iraq and Syria were meant to deliver a strong message of deterrence to Iran’s allies in the Axis of Resistance, who are targeting US military interests in West Asia in response to the carnage in Gaza.

But the strikes have instead served mainly to embarrass the Iraqi government and its domestic allies, prompting a reevaluation of the country’s relationship with Washington and reviving calls for an end to the US military presence in Iraq.

Despite a steady stream of US threats and intimidation tactics employed to deter the Iraqi resistance since late last year, these factions have incrementally increased and expanded their engagement in the region-wide war, driven by their commitment to the Palestinian resistance and its liberation goals. The Iraqi groups have a specific goal: pressure Washington until it forces a Gaza truce – a strategic target that reflects the unity of purpose among the resistance factions in Iraq and the region.

Speaking to The Cradle, a senior leader of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) sheds light on the significance of the Hamas-led Al-Aqsa flood operation launched on 7 October 2023. That event, he says, is viewed as a game-changer by Palestinian resistance factions, and has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power in Tel Aviv, Washington, and allied capitals.

The operation is seen as a historical process challenging the status quo of the past seven decades and redefining the social, security, and military dynamics in the region, the source explains.

‘Unity of Fronts’: putting theory into practice 

Barely two weeks after Al-Aqsa Flood and its aftermath, The Cradle’s Iraq correspondent posited “Will Yemen and Iraq join Palestine’s Al-Aqsa Flood?” At the time, it was noted that any potential involvement of Resistance Axis members other than Lebanon’s Hezbollah in the war “would likely materialize in the form of drone and missile attacks targeting specific objectives, as per the Resistance Axis’ strategic convergence in the Unity of Fronts.”

The “Red Sea crisis” that unfolded on the Ansarallah-led Yemeni front, in addition to scores of Iraqi resistance attacks against US bases in Iraq and Syria since October seem to confirm this hypothesis.

In Iraq’s case, the greatest military burden was assumed by four of the resistance factions identified by Kataib Hezbollah Secretary General Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi: his own group Kataib Hezbollah, Harakat al-Nujaba, Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, and Ansarallah al-Aufiaa. As one IRI official tells The Cradle:

“The fronts are opened at the discretion of the leaders (of these groups) themselves, based on religious, ideological, and moral commitments stemming from the nature of the Iraqi character in the first place.”

Over the past few months, the IRI has demonstrated its versatility by employing a variety of tactics and weaponry in around 188 separate military operations against US targets. These range from missile strikes on US bases in Iraq to drone attacks against US occupation forces in Syria, and even include the targeting of distant Israeli territories such as Ashdod, Haifa, and the occupied Golan Heights.

An official source in the IRI confirms to The Cradle that “We bombed with ballistic missiles American bases, even those in Iraq, and this was not limited to distant targets in the depth, or in the occupied territory.”

However, as tensions escalated, strains in the relationship between Baghdad and Washington became palpable. The Iraqi government found itself caught between the embarrassment of complicity and the challenge of maintaining control over security affairs. Even some of the resistance factions themselves felt the squeeze of external pressures, notably Kataib Hezbollah, who on 31 January announced a temporary suspension of operations against US forces and Israeli targets.

The halt came in the immediate aftermath of the killing of three US soldiers in Tower 22 along the Jordanian-Syrian border, in an Iraqi resistance operation unprecedented in its depth which was viewed as a direct challenge to Washington’s perceived invincibility. As expected, the operation caused a spike in tensions, causing some ferocious shuttle diplomacy in the following days and provoking a strong, disproportionate US military response.

Economic and strategic considerations

For factions like Kataib Hezbollah and Al-Nujaba, the decision to suspend operations was a calculated move to gauge Washington’s response. Yet, the US military’s targeted assassination of Kataib Hezbollah commander Abu Baqir al-Saadi caught them off guard, eliciting a sharp condemnation of the US attack from Baghdad. Saadi’s faction, it should be noted, is part of the Popular Mobilization Units that defeated ISIS, and is therefore under the umbrella of the Iraqi armed forces.

This time, the Iraqi government had no choice but to side with the resistance, while the IRI issued a stern warning to the US in which it signaled a return to operations.

US Vice President Kamala Harris then extended an invitation to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to visit Washington. A postponed September 2023 White House visit to meet US President Joe Biden makes Sudani, notably, the only Iraqi prime minister yet to visit the US in an official capacity.

Following the Iraqi prime minister’s return from Munich earlier in February, US Ambassador to Iraq Elena Romansky met with him to coordinate the agenda for his upcoming visit to the US and ensure alignment on the topics to be discussed.

Romansky stated that “the leaders also discussed the importance of continuing the US-Iraq Higher Military Commission, which will enable the transition to an enduring bilateral security partnership between the United States and Iraq and is the natural next step to build on the very successful collaboration of the past 10 years between Iraq and the Defeat ISIS coalition.”

What cannot be ignored, however, is that these diplomatic initiatives followed a series of coercive measures by the US Treasury to diminish the value of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar. While Iraq – both officially and among its various political factions – insists that leveraging the volume of Iraqi oil exports as a bargaining chip in the global market is an ineffective negotiating tool, there are those who anticipate seizing the opportunity of market scarcity to increase their share by two million barrels.

Sudani mission is a difficult one. He must hammer out a solution that fulfills his government’s commitment to remove foreign military forces forces from Iraqi soil without triggering negative US repercussions.

Baghdad backs the resistance  

According to leaks, the Iraqi prime minister reportedly reached an agreement with the IRI to suspend its military operations against US bases in order to facilitate his negotiations for the complete withdrawal of international coalition forces from Iraq.

Yet, any decision in this regard risks eliciting a negative response from Washington, which brandishes an ever-present arsenal of pressure tactics. This is particularly concerning given that Iraqi oil revenues are still required to pass through the US Federal Bank before being released to Baghdad.

Members of the Iraqi Council of Representatives are actively working to proceed with a law to remove foreign forces from Iraq, with majority representation from Shia-dominated central and southern Iraq. However, Sunni factions remain ambiguous in their stance toward the coordination framework blocs’ efforts to enact such legislation. In addition, Kurdish parties, notably the Kurdistan Democratic Party, vehemently oppose any consideration of US military withdrawal from Iraq.

In response to these dynamics, the Russian Foreign Ministry has expressed Moscow’s willingness to bolster Iraqi forces following the departure of unwanted foreign troops. The Russian offer has compounded the pressure on Washington, prompting a reassessment of the waning US strategic position in West Asia.

US Veterans Call for Gaza Ceasefire, Burn Uniforms at Vigil for Aaron Bushnell

Veterans Burn Their Uniforms at Vigil for US Airman Aaron Bushnell.

UPROOTED PALESTINIANS: SALAM ALQUDS ALAYKUM

US veterans and anti-war activists came together in California’s downtown San Jose and burnt their uniforms in a show of solidarity  to Aaron Bushnell, a young Air Force member who took his own life in protest against the war on Gaza.

The vigil on Wednesday, not only commemorated Bushnell’s life but also amplified a collective call for peace and an end to the violence that has ravaged Gaza.

Among the speakers was a Vietnam War veteran, whose history of anti-war organizing lent a poignant backdrop to the event.

The gathering underscored the urgency of peace talks, with mentions of a potential temporary ceasefire in Gaza.

The act of burning uniforms was not just a symbolic gesture but a deeply personal one, echoing Bushnell’s ultimate sacrifice.

Participants shared stories and reflections on the cost of war, highlighting 30,000 Palestinian casualties since the war’s onset.

Earlier on Tuesday, hundreds of people paid homage to Bushnell at a New York City vigil outside the US Army Recruiting Office in Times Square.

Under the bright lights of the digital billboards of Times Square and the unrelenting rain, protesters and observers huddled under umbrellas draped in keffiyehs and ponchos, held candles and chanted for a ceasefire and an end to the occupation of Palestine.

Protesters said they had come to show respect to Bushnell but also demand that no more lives are lost in the genocide.

Bushnell set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC on Sunday. Before his death, Bushnell posted a video where he explained why he had planned to do what he did.

“My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide,” he said. “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

French Revolution: The 1798 US War with France

Episode 35 Sister Republics: France and the US

Living the French Revolution and Age of Napoleon

Dr Suzanne M Desan

Film Review

Although they were supposedly sister republics, by 1798 France and the US were at war on the seas. This is yet another chapter in US history Americans never study in school.

In 1789, the US leadership structure was was divided into two opposing parties: the Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republican Party. The Federalists wanted to keep political control in the hands of elites and were deeply distrustful of the French drive for equality. The Democratic-Republicans, who were wary of Federalist links to money interests, loved the French revolution.

In 1792 (during Washington’s first term as president), Edmond-Charles Genet was the French envoy to the US under the Girondin-controlled National Convention. The Convention’s goal was 1) to get the US to repay their war debt to France, 2) to negotiate a trade treaty between the two countries, and 3) to foment revolution in Spanish and British controlled parts of North America.

When Genet landed in South Carolina, President Washington was determined to keep the US neutral (to improve trade relations with Britain) in the war between Britain and France.[1] In contrast, the American public were wildly enthusiastic about the French revolution and cheered Genet wildly as he traveled north to Philadelphia to meet with Washington.

The Democratic-Republican clubs were very angry with Washington for rebuffing Genet’s requests for debt repayment and a new commercial treaty. The latter was proposing to raise troops (from Native American and Kentucky supporters) to seize New Orleans from the Spanish and set up independent republic. Democratic-Republican merchants were extremely frustrated with Spanish authorities for refusing them access to the Mississippi River for shipping.

Washington, in turn, was very frustrated with Genet for organizing privateers to attack British ships.[2] When Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton threatened to fire on Genet’s ship, the latter threatened to call for a popular uprising against the Federalist government.

When former Saint Domingue (Haiti) slave owners began arriving in Philadelphia, Genet was unsuccessful in persuading the French naval fleet that transported them to head north to attack the British city of Halifax or to take part in a planned insurrection in south Florida.

In 1794, the US signed the Jay Treaty with the UK, eliminating tariffs on each other’s imports. When the UK technically violated the treaty by refusing to recognize the US right to trade with other countries and allowing British privateers to impress American sailors, angry Democratic-Republicans picketed Washington’s home.

When Washington’s successor John Adams sent three diplomats to stop French privateers from attacking US ships, Talleyrand, the French foreign minister, requested a bribe.[3] The result was a two-year quasi-war that ended US trade with France and empowered US privateers to raid French vessels. It led the US to expand the US military, build war ships and set up the Navy Department.

It also led to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Act in 1798, which directed the targeting of suspicious foreigners (and Democratic-Republican congressmen) for articles and pamphlets that attacked the US government. One Democratic-Republican congressman was thrown in prison.

By 1880 Adams had negotiated a peace agreement and reopened trade with France. As part of the truce France signed with Spain in 1800, the Spanish returned Louisiana, which the French sold to President Thomas Jefferson in 1803.

[1] The Federalists wanted to be neutral favoring the UK, and the Democratic-Republicans to be neutral favoring France.

[2] French privateers started seizing goods from US ships after Washington gave sanctuary to counterrevolutionaries from France and Haiti.

[3] It came to be known as the X,Y,Z affair, which was how Adams referred to Talleyrand’s agents.

What the Nurses Saw — It was Murder

By Ken McCarthy | December 6, 2023

An investigation into systemic medical murders that took place in hospitals during the COVID panic and the nurses who fought back to save their patients

No human activity can ever be free from error, but to be clear, this book is not about the kind of error all human beings are prone to.

As you will learn from the eye-witness accounts and technical information presented in this book, calling the failed COVID protocols “errors” is not accurate.

These protocols were explicitly ordered by those who took dictatorial control of the medical system early in the Panic (spring of 2020). Further, when they were shown to be demonstrably failing and harming many thousands of people, experienced healthcare professionals who raised informed concerns were silenced through demotion, firing, and organized campaigns of harassment promoted by the news media and enabled by companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, in some cases in collaboration with the White House and the Department of Justice’s FBI.

If this sounds very bad, it’s because it is.

What the Nurses Saw is documentation of what happens in the real world when bureaucrats, in this case bureaucrats in Washington DC, take literal dictatorial control over the practice of medicine.

On a pure dollar and cents level, one of every five dollars spent in the U.S. is spent on the products of the medical services industry, as is one of every three tax dollars. The U.S., more than any country in the world, and by a large measure, has been colonized by this industry. As part of this process, the industry and its operatives have corrupted and perverted science, academia, and the news media. Now it’s hard at work to weaken and degrade the last pillar that keeps the system even remotely functioning — the integrity of the nursing profession.

If we fail to support our good nurses, help them hold the line, and start aggressively turning things around, there is no practical limit to how far this totalitarian medical dictatorship which we in fact live under will go in its future abuse and exploitation of human beings.

Arrested “Ukrainian Agent” Allegedly Paid to Assassinate Tucker Carlson

Posted on by

Gateway Pundit

A young man has reportedly been arrested in Moscow in connection with an attempted assassination of Tucker Carlson. According to reporter Simon Ateba, the man who has been arrested was reportedly being paid by Ukrainian intelligence to plant an explosive device in a vehicle used by Tucker while he was there to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Here is the tweet by Simon Ateba, the chief White House Correspondent at Today News Africa in Washington.

A video has just been released showing a 35-yr-old man by the name of Vasiliev Pyotr Alexeieovich, who claims he was ordered by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukraine Ministry of Defense in November 2023 to take an explosive device to the parking garage of the Four Seasons Hotel in Moscow and place it under the vehicle used to transport Tucker Carlson. Mr. Alexeievich claims he was going to be paid $4,000 for completing the task of attaching the explosive device to Carlson’s vehicle, but he was detained in the planning process. Near the end of the videotaped confession, the stone-faced alleged criminal admits his target was “American journalist Tucker Carlson” and says, “I’m sorry for what I did.”

The original report was published at mvlehti.net.

The report has not been verified at this time.

The report claims he is a Russian working for Ukrainian intelligence.

The man is reading from a prepared script.

He is native Russian.

[In the video, Alexeievich states he was supposed to plant a car bomb on the vehicle Carlson was riding in at the Four Seasons Hotel, which the CIA leaked as the intended location for a secret meeting between Carlson and Edward Snowden, which apparently never took place.

US, UK accused of hindering investigation into UN chief’s plane crash in 1961

Press TV

Scholars have accused the United States and the United Kingdom of impeding a United Nations investigation into the 1961 airplane accident that resulted in the death of UN chief Dag Hammarskjöld.

Hammarskjöld, a Swedish national, was killed in a plane crash, which was allegedly taken down intentionally on September 18, 1961, while en route to mediate a ceasefire between UN peacekeepers in the Congo and separatists from the breakaway Congolese region of Katanga.

During a conference in London, attendees were briefed by Stephen Mathias, the UN assistant secretary general for legal affairs, on the latest developments in the investigation, which aims to obtain archived documentation from member states.

The attendees expressed concerns that both the US and UK were delaying the transfer of potentially crucial information.

“While Belgium, Sweden and Zimbabwe demonstrated serious efforts, the US and UK responses were wholly inadequate and showed contempt for the UN inquiry,” said the organizers of Thursday’s conference, the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the University of London and the Westminster United Nations Association.

“The most recent general assembly resolution to renew the investigation was co-sponsored by 142 UN member states out of 193 – but not by the US and the UK,” said Susan Williams, a researcher whose 2011 book “Who Killed Hammarskjöld” contributed to the reopening of the UN inquiry.

Paul Boateng, the former UK high commissioner to South Africa, said: “The work must continue because it is part of a wider struggle to support democracy, the international rule of law, and the UN, all under increasing threat.”

“There must be no stone unturned to get at the truth. The suspected murder of a UN secretary general is a crime too grave to be obliterated by time.”

The crash resulted in the death of 15 other passengers, and its first inquiry, which was carried out by Rhodesian authorities, concluded that the crash was the result of a pilot error, but the finding was controversial.

People who witnessed the crash on the ground had claimed that they saw another aircraft apart from the chief’s.

At that time, French and British intelligence officers were reported to be near Ndola, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), where the crash took place, while US intelligence officers were monitoring communications from Cyprus and reported hearing communications consistent with the UN plane coming under fire.

Hammarskjöld was killed amidst a contest for resources in Africa during the post-colonial era, during his last journey, he was en route to a clandestine gathering aimed at mediating an end to the civil conflict in the newly liberated Congo, a nation abundant in minerals and teetering on the edge of collapse.

In the year before, the eastern province of Katanga had declared independence in 1960. While being a major contributor to the country’s economy, this region is renowned for its vast ore deposits, including uranium ore used in the atomic bomb, which was dropped on Hiroshima.

US Life Expectancy Continues to Plummet

Story at-a-glance

  • Provisional estimates and finalized reports reveal a significant decline in American life expectancy with young adults bearing the brunt of excess deaths
  • The gender life expectancy gap in the U.S. has reached its widest point since 1996, primarily driven by COVID-19 and the opioid crisis, highlighting systemic issues in health care and societal structures
  • Contrary to historical trends, the burden of death now falls disproportionately on young and working-aged Americans, prompting concerns about the underlying causes and the absence of a public health response
  • Amidst censorship and controversy, there’s a growing call for a thorough investigation into pandemic management, including lockdowns, treatment protocols and vaccine deployment, to understand the root causes of excess deaths
  • The need for a new approach to global health is underscored by the current crisis, with emphasis on addressing health disparities and reconnecting with consciousness, as advocated in my forthcoming book, “The Power of Choice”

As it turns out, one of the biggest news stories of 2023 never made the headlines, which is understandable considering its implications. The world is now grappling with the aftermath of a global crisis that, thanks to the sophisticated and meticulously engineered brainwashing strategies deployed by government and mass media, are unbeknownst to the masses.

In August 2022, provisional life expectancy estimates1,2 for 2021 were released showing Americans had lost nearly three years of life expectancy during 2020 and 2021. In December 2022, the finalized mortality report3 confirmed these shocking data.

In 2019, the average life span of Americans of all ethnicities was 78.8 years.4 By the end of 2020, it had dropped to 77.0 years5 and by the end of 2021, it was 76.4.6 As noted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in its finalized mortality report for 2021,7 “From 2020 to 2021, death rates increased for each age group 1 year and over …”

At the time, Virginia Commonwealth University professor of population health Dr. Steven Woolf told USA Today,8 “That means all the medical advances over the past quarter century have been erased.”

COVID Was a Turning Point

The COVID-19 pandemic was a turning point in human history and we are just now compiling the data to document the impact of government’s irrational responses. The big news that virtually no one is talking about is that a) the life expectancy of men has dropped far more than that of women, and b) young, working-age adults make up the bulk of excess deaths.9

This should be headline news across all mainstream media stations; instead, it has been suppressed probably because pandemic measures likely play a significant role in this trend. I didn’t even find out about it until I saw Jimmy Dore’s interview with Dr. Pierre Kory (above). According to research published in JAMA Internal Medicine in November 2023:10,11,12,13

“As life expectancy at birth in the U.S. decreased for the second consecutive year, from 78.8 years (2019) to 77.0 years (2020) and 76.1 years (2021), the gap between women and men widened to 5.8 years, its largest since 1996 and an increase from a low of 4.8 years in 2010.

For more than a century, U.S. women have out-lived U.S. men, attributable to lower cardiovascular and lung cancer death rates related largely to differences in smoking behavior. This study systematically examines the contributions of COVID-19 and other underlying causes of death to the widened gender life expectancy gap from 2010 to 2021.”

The opioid crisis further compounded the trend, driving down male life expectancy through a surge in drug overdoses, accidents and suicides. Deaths of despair, a term encapsulating the rise in suicide, drug use disorders and alcoholic liver disease, are often linked to economic hardship, depression and stress.

These deaths have particularly impacted men, marking a significant shift in the life expectancy landscape. Studies now reveal a stark reality, namely that working-age men are increasingly bearing the brunt of the damage from the COVID-19 crisis.

Widening Gender Gap in Life Expectancy

The architects of this carefully orchestrated plot have produced these results with chilling precision. Their goal was not merely to unleash a virus, but to test the resilience of societal structures and the adaptability of health care systems to unprecedented stressors by manipulating variables, including health care access and public health responses.

The pandemic disproportionately affected men, not solely due to biological predispositions, but also due to social and behavioral patterns. For example, men’s reluctance to seek medical help and prevalence in high-risk behaviors likely contributed significantly to the observed life expectancy gap.

As the world emerges from the shadow of the pandemic, we are now forced to reconsider the foundational aspects of health care, employment and social support systems. As detailed in the JAMA paper, the gender gap in life expectancy in the U.S. — a difference of nearly six years — is the largest it’s been since 1996:14

“The gender life expectancy gap increased 0.23 years from 2010 to 2019 and 0.70 years from 2019 to 2021. Prior to COVID-19 in 2020, the largest contributors to worsening life expectancy for men vs women were unintentional injuries, diabetes, suicide, homicide, and heart disease …

The absolute difference in age-adjusted death rates between men and women increased from 252 to 315 per 100,000 between 2010 and 2021, with a persistent gap for heart disease and widening gaps for COVID-19, unintentional injuries, and several other causes.

This analysis finds that COVID-19 and the drug overdose epidemic were major contributors to the widening gender gap in life expectancy in recent years.”

Young Americans Are Dying at Frightening Pace

In a December 12, 2023, article for The Hill,15 Kory also reviewed the actuarial data, which reveals another shocking shift: The burden of death now falls disproportionately on the young and working-aged, a demographic that once epitomized health and vitality within American society. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s decision to archive its excess deaths webpage in September, ceasing updates, adds a layer of mystery to this already perplexing situation.

The financial implications for insurers are profound. The surge in death claims since 2020 reflects the gravest increase since the 1918 influenza pandemic, prompting calls for an early-warning system to safeguard the insured against emerging health threats. As noted by Kory:16

“Unlike in the pandemic’s early phase, these deaths are not primarily among the old. For people 65 and over, deaths in the second quarter of 2023 were 6% below the pre-pandemic norm, according to a new report from the Society of Actuaries.

Mortality was 26% higher among insured 35-to-44-year-olds, and 19% higher for 25-to-34-year-olds, continuing a death spike that peaked in the third quarter of 2021 at a staggering 101% and 79% above normal, respectively.”

Interestingly, the increase in mortality is not confined to the elderly but is significantly higher among younger, insured adults. This shift raises critical questions about the causes, which extend beyond COVID-19 to include rises in liver, kidney and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and drug overdoses, though not predominantly among the young working class.

This scenario begs a critical examination: why has the response from public health officials, who were once at the forefront of the pandemic management, been conspicuously absent in addressing these excess deaths?

The United Kingdom’s independent public inquiry into post-pandemic excess deaths offers a stark contrast, highlighting the need for a similar, rigorous investigation in the United States. This inquiry should scrutinize the pandemic’s management, including lockdowns, treatment protocols, and the rapid deployment of vaccines, amidst over a million reports of potential adverse effects and emerging studies on post-vaccination syndromes.

The unparalleled censorship of dissent and the enforcement of pandemic measures raise further concerns about the decisions made during the crisis. As actuaries warn of continued excess deaths — particularly among younger insured individuals — until 2030, the necessity for a comprehensive assessment becomes clear.

This evaluation must dissect what strategies succeeded and which failed, to better prepare for future pandemics and safeguard all segments of society, especially the most vulnerable.

We Need a New Paradigm

It couldn’t be more obvious — as we are now collecting the data that confirms everything I’ve been saying these past few years — that we have been lied to and are now reaping the results of that deception.

It is my intention to usher in a new era of global health — one that recognizes and addresses the intricate web of factors that contribute to health disparities. One of the primary factors being the disconnection between ourselves and consciousness.

I’m just finishing my new book, “The Power of Choice,” which I expect to be published in the next few months. It is designed to be a seminal work addressing the foundational issues that have led to the desperate state of affairs that we are now in. In many ways it’s a handbook for how to get out of this crisis.

NZ Deputy Prime Minister Accepts NZDSOS’s Letter About Covid Injections

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and MP Tanya Unkovich.

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and MP Tanya Unkovich.

In what to many seemed like a deja vu moment, an event to remember the second anniversary of Camp Freedom was held in front of the Parliament building on Thursday, 29 Feb, and marked a significant moment for us here at NZDSOS.

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and MP Tanya Unkovich.

We gathered to present a letter documenting our increasing concerns and ever-growing evidence of harm from the covid injections. We provided reasons why the injection rollout must be stopped.

Despite a short-notice change to the published gathering time, we were pleased to achieve an audience with Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and New Zealand First MP Tanya Unkovich. This exchange felt like a potential turning point for this country as a representative from the highest levels of government accepted our letter in person.

The flashback moment came as Winston Peters had visited Camp Freedom in 2022 when he was not a member of parliament, while not a single sitting MP came down to speak with the protestors. The Speaker of the House at that time, Trevor Mallard, designated Mr Peters a terrorist and trespassed him from parliament. Subsequently Mr Peters had this overturned in court.

Insights from Deputy Prime Minister Peters’ address

The deputy Prime Minister spoke with candour when describing his journey towards awakening to the fact of being misinformed early in 2020. He supported the vaccine until he realised that all was not as it seemed.

Mr Peters acknowledged that the previous government demonstrated contempt for ordinary people in New Zealand, particularly when its views were challenged (as NZDSOS has done throughout the official narrative). These acknowledgements were well received, with some indicating it is one step in healing the harm that has occurred as a result of the NZ government’s response to covid.

Mixed reactions to Parliamentary response

However, Mr Peters’ acknowledgements are met with mixed emotions. While there is a sense of achievement in having our concerns publicly recognised, there is also a feeling of caution.

Mr Peters’ willingness to show the letter to other MPs is a step forward, but it stops short of formally tabling these concerns in Parliament. This distinction underscores our cautious optimism when dealing with government, reminding us that the journey towards meaningful change is often long and veiled.

Our call for change is far from over

We stand at a critical juncture in our fight to halt the covid injections, rescue medicine and begin healing. We need all concerned New Zealanders to stand with us to make a powerful push to end the injections. There is much work left to do, and you can help to ensure we can get these injections stopped.

Cumulative Excess Deaths in New Zealand in the COVID-19 Era

New Zealand Excess Death Whistleblower (part 2) | Talking Really Channel

Alice Springs to Mind

Professor John Gibson is an Economist at the University of Waikato. His recent paper, Cumulative excess deaths in New Zealand in the COVID-19 era: biases from ignoring changes in population growth rates, summarises the ease with which statistical errors are made and the importance of recognising potential errors and bias in statistical claims, particularly those made by politicians and their bureaucrats. His paper abstract states:

Accurate health and economic data are needed to evaluate policy responses to COVID-19. A potentially comprehensive health indicator is excess deaths. Local commentators highlight an excess deaths series that suggests negative cumulative excess mortality for New Zealand in the first three years of COVID-19 – in other words, fewer deaths than expected. This flawed measure ignores changes in population growth. Deaths rose in New Zealand from 2015 to 2019 as population grew at two percent per annum. Population growth came almost to a standstill after the border closed in March 2020. Methods of extrapolating from the past to predict future deaths, to ascertain if actual deaths exceed projections, must account for this sharp change in population growth rates. Rather than New Zealand being unique, in having negative cumulative excess deaths in the COVID-19 era, cumulative deaths are about four percent above expected deaths (through 2022) once population growth rate changes are accounted for.

His paper conclusion states:

Accurate health data are needed to evaluate responses to COVID-19. Local media, politicians and public health commentators have coalesced around a projection-based measure of excess deaths due to Karlinsky and Kobak (Citation2021) that seemingly shows negative cumulative excess mortality for New Zealand in the first three years of COVID-19. This measure poorly suits the New Zealand context because it ignores the sharp fall in population growth rates after the border was closed in March 2020. Deaths (but not death rates) had risen sharply pre-COVID, alongside rapid population growth, and the projection-based method simply extrapolates that trend forward. Hence, a rising number of ‘expected’ deaths makes the actual rise in deaths in the post-2020 period seem less remarkable. To correct this flaw in the projections, population is included as a predictor and this shows that cumulative excess mortality for New Zealand was roughly four percent over the first three years of COVID-19; approximately 4000 excess deaths. This is similar to what is shown by measures of excess mortality based on death rates (such as in Figure 1(c)) that are readily available online and that show that cumulative excess deaths for New Zealand had already moved well into positive territory by mid-2022.

My final conclusion concerns disciplinary differences in research culture. It is offered to prompt thinking on the why question, of public health commentators coalescing around K&K projection-based excess mortality estimates rather than HMD ones that use death rates and that clearly showed positive cumulative excess mortality from mid-2022 onwards, as Figure 1(c) shows. Peer review in economics is adversarial, conditioning economists to build in responses to likely criticisms from the outset. Public health seems more collegial; reviews are faster and lighter and author teams larger (internalizing different views). For example, Baker et al. (Citation2023) has 15 authors. If economists were more prominent in the public square in the COVID-era, it may more quickly have become apparent that claimed negative cumulative excess mortality was just an artefact of an inappropriate way to predict expected deaths in a country with a fluctuating population growth rate. With our obsession for robustness tests and sensitivity analyses, the odds of data from the same source (OWID) or an upstream source (HMD) that showed different patterns of excess mortality remaining undisclosed would have been lower and flaws in the K&K approach might have been brought to light more quickly.

These disciplinary differences usually don’t matter. No one discipline has a monopoly on the best way to find truth. But it matters this time because New Zealand lacks checks and balances. A few cabinet ministers, perhaps just the Prime Minister, can change the course of the country, with no subnational variation or second chamber debates to see (at least ex post) if the changes helped. For example, in the United States, Florida’s Surgeon-General advocates against mod-RNA vaccines due to their DNA contamination and the Texas Attorney General is suing Pfizer for misleading claims about the vaccines.Footnote10 Yet officials in other states, such as California, have strong views in the other direction, and so out of this contest we eventually may learn something (just as the differing state and county approaches to lockdowns yielded counterfactuals used by Gibson (Citation2022)). In contrast, policy making and implementation in New Zealand is much more monolithic, making it especially important to promote a contest of ideas from different disciplines before the decisions made by politicians are embedded

Relevant to this is a 2008 paper, The grand impact of the Gates Foundation: Sixty billion dollars and one famous person can affect the spending and research focus of public agencies. Bill Gates has admitted himself, to an interest in lying with statistics. Dr Pierre Kory articulates the issue of corrupted science well here
