Moderna Booster Vax Linked to ‘Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Neurologic, Neuro-Inflammatory & Thrombotic Events,’ ‘Death’: New FDA Document

FDA notes lack of data regarding Moderna’s booster vaccine “[u]se in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, long term safety, use in immunocompromised subjects, interaction with other vaccines, use in frail subjects and unstable health conditions and comorbidities, and use in subjects with autoimmune or inflammatory disorders.”

QUICK FACTS:
  • The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Tuesday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “in an unusual move didn’t take a stance on Moderna Inc.’s application for a booster dose.”
  • The piece suggested the FDA’s unwillingness to endorse Moderna’s booster shot might be “indicating there may not be sufficient data to support the extra dose.”
  • Noting the rarity of the FDA not taking a stance on whether such a new drug should be “given a go-ahead,” WSJ revealed that documents made public Tuesday show the “FDA staff simply restated Moderna’s request and analyzed Moderna’s study data” without endorsing the injection.
POTENTIAL REASONS FOR THE FDA’S SILENCE REGARDING MODERNA’S VAX:
  • The FDA document reveals “[s]evere solicited adverse reactions occurred in 0% to 7.9% of booster dose recipients” in its “Executive Summary” section.
  • The FDA document also mentions “serious adverse events and other adverse events of interest” among those who took Moderna’s booster shot, noting specifically “myocarditis, pericarditis, neurologic, neuro-inflammatory and thrombotic events” and “death.”
  • The FDA document also “identified as missing information” data regarding “anaphylaxis, myocarditis, and pericarditis as important identified risks, and vaccine associated enhanced disease including vaccine-associated enhanced respiratory disease as an important potential risk” as well as “[u]se in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, long term safety, use in immunocompromised subjects, interaction with other vaccines, use in frail subjects and unstable health conditions and comorbidities, and use in subjects with autoimmune or inflammatory disorders.”
  • The document also discusses a recommendation “to conduct one or more post-authorization observational studies to evaluate the association between Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and pre-specified list of AESIs, including myocarditis and pericarditis, along with deaths, hospitalizations, and severe COVID-19.” It goes on to recommend, “The study population should include individuals administered the authorized Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine under EUA in the general U.S. population (18 years of age and older), individuals that receive a booster dose, and populations of interest such as pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, and subpopulations with specific comorbidities. The studies should be conducted in large-scale databases with an active comparator.”
  • The FDA document concludes by scheduling a meeting with the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee to take place on October 14 “to discuss whether the data presented by Moderna support the safety and effectiveness of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.”

John Kerry, wife own $1 million stake in Chinese investment group involved in human rights abuses

The company the Kerrys are invested in has been blacklisted by the U.S. government since 2019.

Special climate envoy John Kerry and his wife reportedly have at least $1 million invested with a group that is a major funder of the Chinese artificial intelligence sector.

The company with which the Kerrys are invested is called Hillhouse China Value Fund L.P., which is a top shareholder in YITU Technology, a firm that has been blacklisted by the United States for human rights abuses against the Uyghur people, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

YITU is involved with the project that helped develop a facial recognition and surveillance program for the Chinese government that identifies individuals by race and ethnicity. 

As climate envoy, he has been involved in a number of diplomatic discussions with China – the world’s foremost producer of greenhouse gases.

The Chinese government recently set a goal of becoming the global leader in artificial intelligence by the start of the next decade. U.S. military and national security experts have expressed concern that the country is using AI technology to exert control over dissidents and persecuted groups within their borders. 

Several years ago, the Commerce Department under the Trump administration placed YITU on a blacklist of trade restricted companies for being “implicated in human rights violations and abuses in the implementation of China’s campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, and high-technology surveillance against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups.”

Kerry has previously said that discussing China’s slave labor practices with the sometimes-hostile foreign government is “not my lane.” Just last month, he said that “life is full of tough choices,” when asked if the Biden administration was trading the advancement of climate change discussions with the Chinese government for a blind-eye toward flagrant human rights abuses against the Uyghurs. 

“Yes we have a issues, a number of different issues, but first and foremost, this planet must be protected,” Kerry said. 

Theologian Al Mohler Explains How Totalitarian Nations Can Be ‘Anti-Abortion’ But Not ‘Pro-Life’

Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, thinks that China’s recent attempts to limit abortion for “non-medical reasons” demonstrate that an entity “can be anti-abortion and yet not be pro-life.”

Mohler expressed his views on the recent move by China’s communist government to restrict abortion access in an edition of his podcast “The Briefing” that was uploaded on Monday.

Comparing communist China’s system to Western culture, Mohler noted that there is a “distinction between the public and the private” as well as an acknowledgment of private individuals’ rights to participate in “mediating institutions.”

This means that places of worship are neither private nor public in the sense of belonging to a person or group, as per Mohler.

“But you’re not going to find any of that in China, where the totalitarian nature of the government comes down to the meaning of the word totalitarian. The government claims total power over everything, everyone, everywhere, all the time,” he remarked.

The Chinese policy restricting couples to having just one child per family was also discussed by Mohler, in which he argued that such policy only led to a spike in abortions, forced sterilizations, and even infanticide, as well as dismal future prospects for the country.

“The Chinese Communist Party wants more babies, it wants more control, it is going to exercise its totalitarian dominion as it claims, and it is going to crack down on abortion,” he said.

“But you’ll notice, it’s not out of concern for the sanctity and dignity of human life. That’s not a part of the Marxist communist worldview. It’s simply because they want more children to be little soldiers and little industrial workers,” he added.

Consequently, Mohler came to the conclusion that “this is not rooted in an argument for the sanctity of human life. And that just shows you that you can be anti-abortion and yet not be pro-life.”

CCP policies

The Christian Post reported that Chinese authorities announced in June that couples will be allowed to have up to three children instead of being limited to two because of the country’s aging population and declining birth rates.

Changes to China’s contentious birth policy were approved by the party’s ruling politburo, which is the country’s highest decision-making body. Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly presided over the gathering.

When China implemented a two-child policy to replace its decades-old one-child policy in 2015, mothers were compelled to abort new babies after having two children.

In an effort to reduce population growth in the densely populated country, Communist China instituted a “one-child policy” in 1979 that led to millions of abortions performed against women’s will.

A societal preference for boys drove families to kill more female infants when they could only have one child, which fueled the practice of gender-specific abortion.

Following the amendment of the oppressive policy, some Chinese authorities are providing cash incentives to families who have more children, CNN reported.

“So far, their efforts have been met with a lukewarm response at best. Many women, who now enjoy greater educational and career opportunities than in the past, are reluctant to expand their families,” the report said.

NBA Star “One Thousand Percent” Sure Covid Vaccine Caused Season-Ending Blood Clots

“Up until I took the vaccine I was fine… Yes, the vaccine ended my season,” the former Atlanta Hawk said.

Former Atlanta Hawks point guard Brandon Goodwin came clean about his season-ending illness last year during a Twitch video game livestream earlier this month. 

Chatting on Twitch while gaming, the NBA star described learning he had blood clots soon after taking an experimental Covid shot.

“I got sick and I never, like, recovered from it,” Goodwin said. “I would always have back pain, I was just super tired in the games. Like when we played Philly back-to-back, bro I was so tired. I felt like I couldn’t run up and down the court.”

“That’s when my back really started hurting bad,” he continued. “Then, I’m like, ‘Alright, I need to go to the doctor.’ That’s when I found out I had blood clots. That all happened in the span of a month.”

The basketball star confirmed the vaccination was the catalyst for his ailment, saying, “I was fine up until I took the vaccine, I was fine. So, people trying to tell you, ‘No. It’s not the vaccine.’ Like, how do you know? You don’t know.”

“Yes, the vaccine ended my season,” Goodwin later declared. “One thousand percent.”

The Atlanta Hawks told Goodwin his season was over after they heard back from team doctors. 

“We don’t even know what it is,” Goodwin argued with his team.

However, he holds no hard feelings against the franchise, telling his Twitch viewers, “But it’s whatever. I’m not even going to get into all that, bruh. I still got love for the Hawks. Mad love for the Hawks.”

“It would have been way different,” Goodwin reflected.

The professional baller is unsure of his future in the NBA, saying, “I don’t know where I’m playing at this year. I’m not going to lie to y’all, I don’t know. They (The Hawks) just like, ‘Don’t say anything about it, don’t tell nobody. I’m like, ‘Bruh, what?’”

The league is likely pressuring the Atlanta Hawks to keep Goodwin silent about the adverse reaction.

The point guard explained that he couldn’t play in the playoffs because he was on blood thinners to help with his blood clots.

“I’ll be back on somebody’s team soon,” Goodwin said. “I don’t really know who yet, but this shit’s been crazy… Not Boston. I said no to Golden State earlier in the year.”

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving also spoke out about the league’s Covid vaccines recently, telling social media followers on Wednesday that he’s sticking to his choice to refuse a Covid vaccine.

“This is one body that I get here,” Irving said. “And no I’m not retiring and no I’m not leaving this game like this. There’s still so much more work to do and there’s still so many other youngins to inspire. Because I know they want to be better than me. And I can’t wait to play against all y’all on this stage.”

Maybe National File reporter Patrick Howley was right, “The unvaccinated players should all join the same team and win the championship against all the vaxxers.”

Gas prices hit $5 in Manhattan

Gas prices are on the rise and they have hit nearly $5 for regular and are now about $5.40 a gallon for supreme in Manhattan.

A Mobil station on 11th Ave. on the West Side had the eye-popping prices on Monday evening.

Gas prices have jumped across the nation as oil prices reach a 7-year high.

The average price of gas across the country is about $3.25 per gallon, according to GasBuddy, and $3.31, according to the Lundberg Survey.

Average prices are up more than $1 from a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 150,000 gas stations across the country.    

Just eight states have average prices under $3 per gallon — Oklahoma, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Alabama, and Missouri, according to GasBuddy.

According to the Lundberg Survey, the highest average price for regular-grade gas in the country is in the San Francisco Bay Area, at $4.55 per gallon. The lowest average is in Houston, at $2.77 per gallon.

According to the survey, the average price of diesel jumped 11 cents to $3.45 a gallon.

Gov. Newsom Signs Cultural Marxist Bills

The California Legislature passed 836 bills this year, of which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed 770. That’s 92 percent. He vetoed only 66, or 8 percent. That’s about average for governors in recent years.

It’s also a reason the legislature ought to return to part-time status, as it was before the 1970s. Texas still maintains a part-time legislature meeting every other year. Its success is shown by how, with the 2020 U.S. Census, it gained two congressional seats as California lost one.

Although high taxes and regulations are the major reasons businesses and citizens are leaving California, another factor is dealing with the irrationality of the government. The state often just doesn’t make sense. It’s guaranteed to make even less sense in the future.

That has been a theme of the series of articles I’ve written on the bills this year, of which this will be the fourth and last. The theme of this article is Cultural Marxism.

One could write a dozen articles a week on the bills and only get part of the way through by the end of the year. Gov. Gavin Newsom was right, although in an ironic way he didn’t intend, when he said on Oct. 9 while signing his last batch of bills, “What we’re doing here in California is unprecedented in both nature and scale.”

My previous three articles are here, here, and here.

AB 338: Fr. Juniper Serra Statue Replacement

Assembly Bill 338 is by Assembly Member James C. Ramos, D-Highland. The bill concerns what to do after vandals tore down the statue of Fr. Juniper Serra on the grounds of the state Capitol on July 4, 2020. The bill replaces it with a statue of Native Americans, so that, in the bill’s language, “the devastating impact of the mission period, and Father Serra’s role in that devastation, [will] be recognized and acknowledged.”

Critics said the action is an affront to the state’s more than 10 million Catholics. Bishop Jaime Soto of Sacramento said that, although the Native Americans suffered during that period, Serra worked “to protect the dignity of native peoples. His holiness as a missionary should not be measured by his own failures to stop the exploitation or even his own personal faults.”

Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez and San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone added in a Wall Street Journal article, “[N]o serious historian has ever made such outrageous claims about Serra or the mission system, the network of 21 communities that Franciscans established along the California coast to evangelize native people.”

The legislature easily could have both restored the Serra statue and erected a new statue on the Capitol grounds to the Native Americans, adding to the 12 memorials already there. The Serra vandalism also comes after the statue of Christopher Columbus was removed from the Capitol Rotunda in June 2020.

All this is pure, unadulterated Cultural Marxism. It is shoving history down Orwell’s “Memory Hole” and erecting a false narrative to advance a socialist agenda.

AB 1084: Gender-Neutral Toy Sections

Assembly Bill 1084 is by Assembly Member Evan Low, D-Campbell. It requires stores selling toys with more than 500 employees to add “a gender-neutral section or area, to be labeled at the discretion of the retailer, in which a reasonable selection of the items and toys for children that it sells shall be displayed, regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys.”

Low seems not to have noticed how children tend to wander around stores and find whatever toys they want to cajole their parents into buying.

The clueless legislator explained, “Part of it is to make sure if you’re a young girl that you can find a police car, fire truck, a periodic table or a dinosaur. And then similarly, if you’re a boy, if you’re more artistic and want to play with glitter, why not? Why should you feel the stigma of saying, ‘Oh, this should be shamed’ and going to a different location?”

Aside from the Cultural Marxist coercion element, the bill has other problems.

Notice the vagueness, which could lead to the prosecutions even of the most vigilant retailers: “gender neutral” … “section or area” … “discretion of the retailer” … “reasonable selection” … “regardless of whether.” This is going to be a field day for lawyers.

AB 1084 will also increase costs by an unknown amount for retailers, for lawyers to figure it out, and for employees to implement it by erecting new areas of the store with new labels. The bill will also scare off parents from such stores, sending even more business online, where such restrictions to not apply. Many jobs will be killed.

The bill has received national attention and is another reason the state is such a laughingstock.

AB 101: Cultural Marxist Ethnic Studies

Assembly Bill 101 is by Assembly-member Jose Medina (D-Riverside). It mandates “the completion of a one-semester course in ethnic studies … including for pupils enrolled in a charter school.”

In an explanation on his website oddly titled “I am Ethnic Studies!” Medina explained, “AB 101 is necessary to ensure all students develop a foundational and accurate understanding of United States history. We are poised to lead the nation in education equity for all students. And become the first state to require ethnic studies as a high school graduation requirement.”

Critics signing a joint letter opposing the bill included Parents Defending Education, the AMCHA Initiative (anti-Semitism watchdog), the California Association of Scholars, the National Association of Scholars, the San Diego Asian Americans for Equality, and the Silicon Valley Chinese Association Foundation.

The letter (pdf) said the imposed curriculum would be “firmly rooted in the highly politicized and controversial version of the discipline known as Critical Ethnic Studies. The discipline is firmly rooted in neo-Marxist ideologies that divide society into oppressed and oppressor groups based primarily on race, and, as part of its disciplinary mission, uses the classroom to indoctrinate students into narrow political beliefs and political activism. Pursuing a narrow political framework in education is divisive, discriminatory and inflammatory.”

AB 101 also dilutes the value of charter schools, which were created specifically to avoid most of the mandates of the labyrinthine state Education Code. The code already runs to 4,058 pages, according to the March 2021 edition sold on Amazon. The 2022 edition will run many pages longer.

The bill tosses another problem to local school boards, which already are grappling with critical race theory (CRT), as The Epoch Times has been covering.

I’ve talked to several young couples with kids about this mandate and CRT. They say it’s yet another impetus to get their kids out of California to a more sensible state.

Alleged Epstein Conspirator Walks Free After Police Drop Charges Out of Nowhere: Nation Shocked

These days when Americans rail against the separate standard by which “the elite” are held accountable, we’re usually talking about the lavishly wealthy who bask in the spotlight of popular culture or sit in the upper echelons of the corporate globalist world.

Yet the old world’s elite class appears to still enjoy plenty of perks, especially when they’re implicated in high-profile sex trafficking scandals involving the rich and privileged from all walks of life.

Such is the case with the United Kingdom’s Prince Andrew, son to Queen Elizabeth II, who has certainly not evaded scrutiny over allegations that he partook in notorious billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.

No, he appears to have, at least for now, totally avoided legal repercussions at the hands of Her Majesty’s law enforcement agencies.

Go figure.

London’s Metropolitan Police announced over the weekend that they have dropped their investigation into allegations that Andrew sexually assaulted high-profile Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, when she was just 17. The alleged assault took place at a mansion in London owned by accused Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, the Guardian reported.

The probe was launched in August, following a civil suit filed by Giuffre in the United States against Prince Andrew. The suit accused him of assault and intimidation.

The prince, who stepped away from his royal duties over the scandal in 2019 after Epstein was arrested and charged for sex trafficking, has categorically denied Giuffre’s accusations.

However, Prince Andrew has long been at the center of accusations against Epstein, and by the time the royal bowed out of the public light when the notorious sex offender was arrested once again, Giuffre’s claims against him had been floating around for years.

Dame Cressida Dick, the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, explained in August that she had requested a second look into the case against Andrew because “no one is above the law.”

If this is indeed the case in the U.K., it’s certainly rather interesting that just two months later, the investigation has been promptly dropped.

Don’t you think?

The Met will now be taking “no further action” and its review is “complete,” according to the Guardian, but they will “liaise with other law enforcement agencies who lead the investigation into matters related to Jeffrey Epstein.”

Authorities confirmed that they did speak with Giuffre, who now lives in Australia, although it was unclear if she provided them with a formal statement on the matter.

Well, Prince Andrew may be slipping the hook in the land over which his mother reigns sovereign, but across the pond, he is still facing Giuffre’s lawsuit.

“I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me,” Giuffre said when the suit was first filed, People reported. “The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions.”

They are most certainly not — at least, we can hope.

Before Epstein’s highly suspicious death in his jail cell in 2019 and headline-grabbing arrest the month prior, he famously evaded accountability despite the sick accusations levied against him for years.

Although he held a prior conviction for soliciting child prostitution in 2008, the mysterious financier was subject to little more than a slap on the wrist.

Meanwhile, his vastly more famous friends include figures like former President Bill Clinton and tech mogul Bill Gates, both of whom, as members of American establishment royalty, have received little scrutiny for their alleged ties to the deceased sex offender — especially considering the gravity of the accusations. (Clinton, of course, has long evaded accountability for alleged heinous crimes himself.)

Currently, only the mysterious Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s one-time girlfriend and accused longtime madame for his sick and twisted sex trafficking scheme, is still facing charges for the alleged role she played in recruiting and abusing underage girls. Her trial is set to begin on Nov. 29.

She has also been separately charged with perjury for lying on a deposition for Giuffre’s civil suit.

We can certainly hope and pray that the victims of Epstein and his wealthy, elitist friends may soon see the justice they so sorely deserve. Unfortunately, however, at the rate things are going, I’m not holding my breath.
