Biden Officials Knew About Potential COVID-19 Vaccine Risks, Took Steps to Downplay Them
May 22nd, 2025Via: New York Post:
Top federal health officials actively took steps to “delay warning the public” for months in 2021 about the potential risks of heart-related complications from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, a scathing interim report from Sen. Ron Johnson’s office alleges.
Starting in February 2021, federal health agencies had been alerted to “large reports of myocarditis” in young people who received the Pfizer vaccine, but waited until late June that year to adjust the vaccine labels to make that side effect known.
“Even though CDC and FDA officials were well aware of the risk of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination, the Biden administration opted to withhold issuing a formal warning to the public for months about the safety concerns, jeopardizing the health of young Americans,” the 54-page interim report said.
…
During the time it took health officials to adjust the labels, doctors who warned about the potential risks of myocarditis among those who took the vaccine were subject to censorship, suppression or accusations of peddling misinformation.

“CERN Gears Up To Ship Antimatter Across Europe”
May 21st, 2025Via: Ars Technica:
There’s a lot of matter around, which ensures that any antimatter produced experiences a very short lifespan. Studying antimatter, therefore, has been extremely difficult. But that’s changed a bit in recent years, as CERN has set up a facility that produces and traps antimatter, allowing for extensive studies of its properties, including entire anti-atoms.
Unfortunately, the hardware used to capture antiprotons also produces interference that limits the precision with which measurements can be made. So CERN decided that it might be good to determine how to move the antimatter away from where it’s produced. Since it was tackling that problem anyway, CERN decided to make a shipping container for antimatter, allowing it to be put on a truck and potentially taken to labs throughout Europe.
China’s Drone Mothership
May 21st, 2025Via: Telegraph:
China is preparing to launch a new drone-carrying mothership capable of releasing 100 kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the same time.
The Jiu Tan, which means “high sky”, is a high-altitude long-range UAV that can transport weapons and equipment.
Over the weekend, state media reported that the fourth prototype had completed its structural assembly and was undergoing installation and testing. It will set off on its maiden flight next month as China looks to boost its air force capabilities.
…
The vehicle has a 25-metre wingspan and can fly for 12 hours, with a maximum range of 7,000 kilometres (4,350 miles). It has a take-off weight of 16 tons and a transporting capacity of six tons, which could be used to carry anything from surveillance technology to ammunition.

Two Israeli embassy staffers who were about to be engaged were gunned down outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, Wednesday night — by a suspect who shouted, “Free free Palestine” as he was taken into custody, officials said.
The deadly gunfire erupted outside the museum as the couple was leaving the event shortly after 9 p.m., authorities said during a press conference.
After the suspect, identified as 30-year-old Chicago resident Elias Rodriguez, squeezed the trigger, he entered the museum where he was apprehended, police said.

Trump Announces Golden Dome Missile Shield
May 21st, 2025[???]
Via: The War Zone:
The Golden Dome missile defense system will cost about $175 billion and be operational “in less than three years” with “a success rate close to 100%,” President Donald Trump declared Tuesday afternoon as he shared new details about his ambitious, very expensive, and controversial missile defense shield for the U.S. homeland. It follows one of the president’s first official acts of his second term, ordering the U.S. military to move forward with plans for a massively enlarged architecture for defeating high-end missile threats.
“Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides of the world, and even if they are launched from space, and we will have the best system ever built,” Trump stated. His price tag stands in stark contrast to projections of more than half a trillion dollars and raises concerns about the weaponization of space and nuclear proliferation, which you can read more about later in this piece.
The system will be designed to “protect the homeland” from “cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, drones, whether they’re conventional or nuclear,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth explained during the White House briefing.
…
There were scant details during the briefing about how Golden Dome will actually work.
