This week, Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president, and Polly Tommey, co-producer of “Vaxxed,” cover the latest COVID headlines, including news that a Virginia pharmacy was removed from the state’s vaccination program after a pharmacist mistakenly gave 112 children smaller doses of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, and a huge surge in recent COVID vaccine injuries based on the latest data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
Also on tap this week: A 12-year-old child died two days after taking the Pfizer vaccine in Germany. Plus, Shelby Allen, a 17-year-old from Dyer County, Tennessee, was hospitalized with a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks its nerves. She developed the condition after getting a COVID vaccine.
Polly and Mary also discussed the fully vaccinated Minnesota Vikings player who was rushed to hospital after experiencing shortness of breath from COVID, and that in the UK, more than 2,500 fully vaccinated people over the age of 50 died from COVID in the last few months.
Here are more of this week’s highlights:
- Two questionable studies published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) allow the agency to claim COVID vaccines are safer and more effective than they really are. “This is a great article by Dr. Mercola,” said Mary. “It’s deeply troubling.”
- Fauci acknowledged that fully vaccinated individuals are still catching COVID, getting hospitalized and even dying. He urged people to get the booster shot. “It’s not really a booster, it’s another jab,” said Polly.
- The White House said businesses should move forward with strict vaccine requirements despite a court order temporarily halting the mandates. “What is so disturbing about this article is that the Biden administration gave the go-ahead with this,” said Mary. This article by CNN also covers this pause.
- Data from Europe and the U.S. show increased all-cause mortality in everyone under age 65 after the introduction of coronavirus shots. “That is a very strong article,” said Polly.
- Biden is leading society into a deadly box canyon. We must rise up. “This is so important,” said Polly. “We are beginning to see this.”
- America has moved on from COVID. Why can’t the Biden administration? “It’s interesting that a mainstream news organization is covering this,” said Mary. “It is signifying a shift in climate.”
- In the west, people are being pushed to enroll in a biometric digital ID system to access public services. This article explains how digital vaccine passports pave the way for unprecedented surveillance capitalism. “This article made me very sad,” said Polly. “An extremely important article,” said Mary. “This is serious stuff.”
- Pfizer asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to expand booster shot eligibility to all adults. The agency is expected to grant the request before the holiday season.
- Texas schools can now set their own face mask rules after a federal judge overruled Gov. Greg Abbott’s ban on mask mandates. “It’s extremely divisive,” said Mary.
- As coronavirus vaccines and boosters proliferate in the United States, many millions of Americans are still subject to strict mask mandates in major cities and entire states — and on all public transportation, per a federal government mandate.
- Moderna and the U.S. are at odds over patent rights after Moderna claimed several employees as the sole inventors of a crucial component of its COVID vaccine. “This is breaking news,” said Polly.
- Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and senior aides holed up in a nuclear command bunker to simulate an outbreak of a vaccine-resistant COVID-19 variant to which children are vulnerable, describing such an eventuality as “the next war.” “The most disturbing article of this week,” said Polly.
- A senior bioethicist and director of the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) — who said he’s willing to risk his medical license — will argue against vaccine mandates during a Dec. 1 livestreamed roundtable. “It’s too little, too late,” said Mary. “It’s unlikely to be very satisfying.”
- Public officials around the world are imposing new restrictions on the unvaccinated as many nations struggle to raise their COVID vaccination rates. “More coercion,” said Mary.
- The Netherlands imposed a partial lockdown for both vaccinated and unvaccinated. “That’s not going well for them,” said Polly.
- Austria imposed new restrictions and a lockdown for the unvaccinated, confining those who have not been jabbed to their homes.
- Latvia’s parliament voted to ban lawmakers who refuse the COVID vaccine from voting and participating in discussions. “This is extraordinary,” said Mary. “This is so dangerous,” said Polly.
- Three German state health ministers urged parties to form a new government to prolong states’ power to implement stricter pandemic measures such as lockdowns or school closures.
- More than 1 million 12- 15-year-olds in England are now vaccinated against COVID. “Bad news,” said Polly.
- At a time of increasing legalization of marijuana, a growing number of people under 50 diagnosed with cannabis use disorder were later hospitalized for a heart attack, new research has found. “This is very questionable to me,” said Mary.
- The UK Government confirmed its first case of a pet dog becoming infected with COVID.
- The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment in Colorado is no longer pursuing the implementation of the Vaccine Verified Facility and Event Program. “This is the result of people in this county fighting back,” said Mary. “It’s a good news story.”
- The risk of measles increases as more than 22 million infants across the globe didn’t get their first measles vaccine dose last year, according to the World Health Organization and CDC.
- “The Measles Book” by CHD reveals how Big Pharma and health officials deceive parents and harm children. “I highly recommend you read this,” said Polly.
- More than 320 harmful chemicals were found in tap water in the U.S., according to a new analysis by the Environmental Working Group. “A really helpful article,” said Mary.
- CHD Chairman Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Mary Holland last week urged attendees of the Weston A. Price Foundation annual conference in Allen, Texas, to reject medical tyranny and stand up for the world’s children. “It was really wonderful,” said Mary.
- Kennedy’s book — “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,” released Nov. 16, is already #2 on Amazon. In bookstores now.
