15 million J&J COVID Vaccines Thrown Away After Ingredient Mix-Up With AstraZeneca

The mix-up at a Baltimore manufacturing plant forced regulators to delay authorization of the plant’s production lines and prompted an FDA investigation.

Fifteen million doses of Johnson & Johnson (J&J’s) vaccine failed quality control after workers at a Baltimore manufacturing plant negligently combined ingredients from AstraZeneca and J&J’s COVID vaccine.

The mix-up forced regulators to delay authorization of the plant’s production lines and prompted an investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to The New York Times, the plant is run by Emergent BioSolutions, a manufacturing partner with J&J and AstraZeneca, whose vaccine has yet to be authorized for use in the U.S.

Emergent has been cited repeatedly by the FDA for problems such as poorly trained employees, cracked vials and mold around one of its facilities, according to records obtained by the Associated Press through the Freedom of Information Act.

AstraZeneca and J&J’s COVID vaccines employ the same technology which uses a version of a virus — known as a vector — that is transmitted into cells to make a protein that then stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies.

However, J&J’s and AstraZeneca’s vectors are biologically different and not interchangeable.

Federal officials said Emergent’s mistake was human error that went undiscovered for days until J&J’s quality control checks uncovered it, according to people familiar with the situation. By then, up to 15 million doses had been contaminated, reported The Indian Express.

Former Trump chief of staff wants to know why Dr. Fauci isn’t saying something about the COVID dangers of the border crisis

Curiously quiet

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, has been more than happy to speak his mind on a multitude of topics whenever he believes there might be even the most tangential coronavirus connection.

He has warned against going to holiday gatherings, attending sporting events, living life without face masks even if vaccinated, allowing maskless kids to play together, and anything else that tickles his fancy.

But he has been strangely silent about the current border crisis, where our Border Patrol is being overrun by thousands of illegal aliens surging into the U.S. The migrant crisis has raised COVID-19 questions in the minds of many observers.

How many of these illegals are positive for the virus? Is our government even bothering to test them? Have they released known COVID-positive migrants into the country?

It turns out that thousands of migrants have been released into the U.S. without evidence of ever having submitted to a COVID-19 test, the New York Post reported.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention even changed its COVID protocol guidelines to allow the Biden administration to house illegal immigrant children in shelters at 100% capacity — and more.

And at least one mayor of a U.S. border town has repeatedly sounded the alarm that the government was shipping illegals to his community and refusing to reveal the migrants’ COVID-19 infection rates.

‘Gun Control Is Anti-Woman’: Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) contends the Democrats’ anti-gun positions are anti-woman.

She sent out a tweet Wednesday, saying “the Left’s gun control agenda will affect America’s women more than anyone else.”

Boebert earned election to the House in 2020 running on a pro-Second Amendment platform.

On December 23, 2020, she told Breitbart News she planned to “carry a firearm each day” once sworn into office in D.C.

She had already completed the process for applying for a D.C. concealed carry permit when she spoke to Breitbart, and on February 4, 2021, she received the permit.

Boebert has a very small physical stature and weighs less than 100 pounds. She often alludes to her small size, like she did in her Wednesday tweet, noting, “I’m a five foot tall, 100 pound woman. The only way I’m safe to walk around any dangerous liberal city is with an equalizer.”

Papal Climate Alarmism

ROME — Pope Francis said this week the “climate crisis” has its roots in the Industrial Revolution but for many years “it remained imperceptible except to a very few clairvoyants.”

In the preface to a Vatican booklet titled “Pastoral Orientations on Climate Displaced People,” the pope argues that the disastrous effects of climate change are evident to everyone.

“We are engulfed by news and images of whole peoples uprooted by cataclysmic changes in our climate, forced to migrate,” he asserts.

“When people are driven out because their local environment has become uninhabitable, it might look like a process of nature, something inevitable,” Francis states. “Yet the deteriorating climate is very often the result of poor choices and destructive activity, of selfishness and neglect, that set humankind at odds with creation, our common home.”

As he has done on other occasions, the pope compares global warming to the coronavirus pandemic, insisting, however, that humanity should have seen the climate crisis brewing.

“Unlike the pandemic, which came on us suddenly, without warning, almost everywhere, and impacting everyone at once, the climate crisis has been unfolding since the Industrial Revolution,” he declares. “For a long time it developed so slowly that it remained imperceptible except to a very few clairvoyants.”

“Even now it is uneven in its impact: climate change happens everywhere, but the greatest pain is felt by those who have contributed the least to it,” he asserts.

The “huge and increasing numbers displaced by climate crises” are fast becoming “a great emergency of our age, visible almost nightly on our screens, and demanding global responses,” Francis insists.

Boldly paraphrasing God, as recounted by the prophet Isaiah, the pope warns of future disasters if humanity fails to act.

“If you are ready to listen, we can still have a great future. But if you refuse to listen and to act, you will be devoured by the heat and the pollution, by droughts here and rising waters there,” he states, referencing God’s warning in Isaiah 1:18-20.

GoFundMe Shuts Down Fundraiser For Parents Who Were Attacked For Opposing Critical Race Theory

GoFundMe has shut down a fundraiser for a group of parents in a Virginia school district who were attacked and doxxed by a mob for opposing the teaching of critical race theory.

The parents were targeted after a group of teachers, parents, and school district board members of the Loudoun County School Board, labeling themselves ‘Anti-Racist Parents’, started a campaign to “expose these people publicly.”

They compiled a list of parents who dared to disagree with the school’s “anti-racism” indoctrination drive which taught students that America is inherently racist and that social engineering was necessary to remove these biases.

“To achieve their goal, a member of the group proposed infiltrating their opponents groups and even using hackers. The sheriff’s office launched an investigation into the matter,” reports Reclaim the Net.

Scott Mineo, the head of the group called Parents Against Critical Theory (PACT), led the fightback against the indoctrination by setting up a GoFundMe to raise money for the cause.

Spain Passes Law Mandating Face Masks Even While Swimming in the Sea

Backlash from holidaymakers who say they won’t visit.

Spain has passed a new law forcing people to wear face masks everywhere outside and even while swimming in the sea.

Yes, really.

The legislation, which came into effect on Wednesday, mandates face coverings for children as young as six, with refusniks facing fines of €100 euros.

The only exemption to the rule is adults playing sports outside, but people tanning outside or swimming in a pool or the ocean are still required to cover up.

“This will apply to people who are sunbathing or even swimming in the sea,” confirms the London Evening Standard.

The utter stupidity and real danger of having to wear a face mask while swimming in the sea goes without saying.

Having to wear a face covering while placing yourself in a situation where you have a heightened risk of encountering breathing difficulties is totally insane.

Thankfully, there has been a huge backlash to the law, which has “spread dismay through Spain’s tourism industry,” according to the London Times.

Biden’s judicial nominees prove ‘liberal dark money groups’ control his administration: legal expert

A former law clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas has alleged that President Joe Biden’s newly released list of judicial nominees proves that he’s letting “liberal dark money groups” control his administration. 

Carrie Severino, president of the think-tank Judicial Crisis Network, which advocates for the appointment of originalist U.S. Supreme Court justices, expressed concern about Biden’s first list of judicial nominees. The nominees on the list, released Tuesday, would fill 11 vacancies on the federal courts. Severino wrote about Judge Katenji Brown Jackson, Biden’s pick to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, in an op-ed for National Review.

“Jackson has been on the Supreme Court shortlist of Demand Justice, to which prospects do not make the cut unless they are far to the left,” she said. Others on the liberal group’s shortlist include employees of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, as well as a visiting professor of social justice at Union Theological Seminary and a former Planned Parenthood attorney. 

Severino noted that prior to becoming a federal judge, Jackson “represented indigent criminal appellants before the D.C. Circuit” and submitted “amicus briefs on behalf of accused enemy combatants in military detention.” In a Twitter thread Tuesday, Severino explained that the context in which the judicial nominations are occurring should concern conservatives: “As Politico playbook noted this morning, President Biden has been working overtime to appease the far left, and we can expect his judges to rubber-stamp their extreme radical agenda.”

Over 100 Fully Vaccinated People in Washington State Test Positive for COVID-19

More than 100 people in Washington state have tested positive for COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, authorities said March 30.

Epidemiologists have found evidence of 102 so-called breakthrough cases since Feb. 1. That number represents 0.01 percent of people in the state who have been fully vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.

The CCP virus is also known as SARS-CoV-2.

Eight of the patients required hospitalization and two, both over 80 years old with underlying health issues, died. All contracted the virus more than two weeks after being fully vaccinated.

Fully vaccinated refers to people receiving both doses of the vaccines produced by Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech. A third option, from Johnson & Johnson, is a single dose.

According to the Washington State Department of Health, further investigation is needed to identify patterns among people who contracted the virus after vaccination.

The cases are confirmed with a positive test. Investigators then work to determine details on what happened.

“It is important to remember that every vaccine on the market right now prevents severe disease and death in most cases. People should still get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible, and encourage friends, loved ones, and co-workers to do the same,” Umair Shah, the state’s secretary of health, said in a statement.

‘HOPE’: President Trump Hints At 2024 Run, Suggests Trump Rallies Will Return ‘Relatively Soon’

“In fact, we’re thinking about doing one relatively soon just to let everybody know that there’s hope in the future.”

During President Donald Trump’s banned interview with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, he teased a potential run for a second term as President in 2024, and suggested that the infamous Trump rallies will soon return.

After discussing Joe Biden, his bans from social media, and the media’s willful refusal to report negative news about Biden or positive news about Trump, Lara Trump asked, “The other question people all want to know — and I know you’re not ready to answer it yet — but do we have hope that there’s a possibility to see Donald Trump run again in 2024?”

Nancy Pelosi Just Got Sued by a Christian Preacher

A Presbyterian minister is suing Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the U.S. Capitol Police and Vice President Kamala Harris in a last-ditch effort to hold a Good Friday vigil at the barricaded Capitol in Washington, D.C.

Fencing and restrictions were both put in place around the Capitol after the Jan. 6 incursion amid concerns that more violence could take place.

Although no incidents have taken place since then, access to the Capitol remains restricted. An outer ring of fencing was removed last week, but an inner ring remains, according to USA Today.

Rev. Patrick Mahoney of Fredericksburg, Virginia, is suing the above-mentioned parties because, despite some relaxation of security, he is not being allowed access to the Capitol grounds as he has in the past.
