In my role as Co-chairperson and member of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, I have been participating in a training course regarding the GRADE methodology for public health decision-making

The title is lifted from an email I received, one of many asking me to look into the paper “A calibration of nucleic acid (PCR) by antibody (IgG) tests in Germany: the course of SARS-CoV-2 infections estimated” by Michael Günther Robert Rockenfeller, and Harald Walach in Frontiers: Epidemiology

Soft light. Glowing faces. The uplifting orchestral swell of a life turned from dark to better. Those sun-dappled blades of grass? Not just stalks whistling in the wind. But a metaphor, a rebirth and rejuvenation of not only the human condition – of reality itself

In a development with profound scientific and public-health implications, the CDC has quietly updated its longstanding position on vaccines and autism—acknowledging for the first time that the long-repeated denial “vaccines do not cause autism” has never been an evidence-based statement

This really is serious. The British Medical Journal has put its reputation on the line with this report detailing the flaws in AstraZeneca’s Ticagrelor testing, reporting and the subsequent warnings ignored by the FDA

As more and more people are awakening to the dangers of vaccines, they are gradually discovering a problem vaccine safety advocates have had to deal with for decades—talking to vaccine zealots is like speaking to a brick wall and regardless of the evidence you put forward, you can’t reach them (sometimes seeming as though you are speaking to a religious fanatic who is unwilling to even consider the ‘blasphemy’ you are spewing forth)

 

The new “Autism and Vaccines” page starts telling the truth, including:

“The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

 

The headline says it all. In short, COP30 achieved nothing at all. I will do a full analysis later, but Matt McGrath’s summing up tells us all we need to know:

Adolf Hitler, the Nazi dictator, suffered from a rare genetic condition that impaired the normal development of his sexual organs, according to groundbreaking new research.

Harvard laments loss of funds while parents and sane doctors breathe sigh of relief.

A recent UK regulator’s report on the culture, governance and compliance framework of pharmaceutical company Moderna has revealed “numerous and varied issues”.

 

Chronic Scurvy = Heart Disease: Two-time Nobel laureate Linus Pauling proposed that long-term vitamin C deficiency weakens blood vessel collagen, leading to small cracks in arterial walls – essentially a mild, chronic form of scurvy[1][3].

The International Energy Agency, which does seem to have become the International Anti-Energy Agency recently, has the good grace to admit that zealotry had overwhelmed judgement. Well, they didn’t put it that way.

Independent energy consultant Kathryn Porter has posted up the transcript of her speech this week to the Institute of Power Engineers

For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. [emphasis, links added]

Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet.
