Here's the article I discussed this evening. The good news is since it was published 4 days ago, hundreds of university students, parents, alumni, & donors have told me they reached out to their school administrators to talk to them about these issues.

Brilliant re-analysis of the data the CDC used justify school masking. This new elegant study, using a larger population & longer study period, found that school masking was NOT associated with pediatric case rates. @TracyBethHoeg @aChandra_TO 1/3

More studies revealing how the Covid vaccine affects the heart of children. This is why many of us called for more humility and less dogma when vax &booster mandates were pushed hard on ultra-low risk healthy children. Some European countries did not even rec the vax for children

Great summary of Thailand study by @anish_koka "there are no cardiologists who want to see their child have a cardiac troponin that is 2x normal or 40x normal after administration of some therapeutic" Honestly, this study should have been done in USA 👇

BIG new Israeli study: Natural immunity "offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine" Affirms what i've been saying for a year in 5 opeds

CDC &NIH have not prioritized studying vax complications. J Peds study just found 69% of kids pres w/ myocarditis had a heart abnorm on MRI 3-8mo later. When pressed, CDC points to the limitations of their own sloppy method of tracking complications(VAERS)

The omicron vaccine, which was authorized based on public data from 8 mice, is now mandatory for students at Fordham. If a student (with pre-existing natural imm to omicron) develops vaccine-induced myocarditis, it will be another tragic case of politically-induced avoidable harm

Why make policies that burden people and don't stop transmission? Fordham is a special place that can turn 8 mice into a mandate. An evidence based miracle!

Dear President Biden, Your @CMSGov is ordering struggling rural hospitals to fire nurses with nat immunity. Amidst a staffing crisis, some rural hosp now asking Cov+ staff to work despite active infection. This is illogical--firing unvax staff with nat imm while Cov+ staff work?

No surprise to learn that the White House is “running the CDC”. At least, he’s honest. Certainly explains why many CDC policies go against the current data and instead serve the interests of big Pharma, teachers unions, and the medical-industrial complex.

According to POTUS, Dr. Jha is “basically running the CDC” these days. If the WH advisor controls the CDC, what role does Dr. Walensky have? Does the CDC have any apolitical leadership anymore? FYI, lowering the facemask negates any effect it may have.

The rest of the world has accepted the endemic nature of Covid and moved on, but the U.S. is an int'l outlier, still pushing mass testing & chasing down every case. The admin is now hinting they will renew the Covid state of emergency later this week.

KJP says the new Covid XBB vaccine (expected to be FDA approved this week) works. But how can she know since no human outcomes studies were conducted?

KJP pushes new Covid booster shots. We know that these vaccines work, we know that when people stay up to date with their vaccines, it works.

Hospitals not allowing people to visit and hold the hand of their dying loved one was one of the greatest human rights violations of the Covid response--a groupthink policy that 'experts' instituted and rigidly stuck to for most of the pandemic. There are things worse than dying.

Swapping out experienced nurses with nat guard who are not familiar with a hospital's systems, local ways of doing things & emerg protocols has risks. Recognize natural imm, instead of demonizing our heroes who put their lives on the line and got Covid.

The NIH should be doing a long-term study of natural immunity instead of torturing thousands of beagle puppies, including cutting their voice box to avoid barking sounds (sick). All taxpayer funded. All our health agencies need fresh new leadership.

Agree Dr. Prasad. I will say it again... If anyone knows of any data showing that boosters reduce Covid hospitalizations/deaths in young healthy people, please let me know. #followthescience

Every organization mandating boosters in young healthy people knowing the data on omicron's breakthrough rate despite boosting is making a big error. It is ethically bankrupt, it is scientifically bankrupt, and it is going to cause serious damage to future vaccination efforts.

If Dr. Fauci, with his platform, would have ever mentioned this treatment once, many hospitalizations could have been prevented. 2 favorable trials reported in JAMA & Lancet in the spring & fall (one showing a 91% reduction in Covid deaths). No study to the contrary.

The FDA is now trying to get the public to accept the idea of an annual mRNA Covid vaccine, with no good data. FDA leaders are in a bubble. How much longer will the FDA (18,000-employees) continue to work remotely? Its mid-day on a weekday and the parking lot is essentially empty

Amazing to see these universities clinging to their booster requirement for young healthy students. If anyone has any data showing that boosting teenagers reduces hospitalizations, please share it. I've been on the hunt for it for over 6 months now.
