CDC Votes To Add COVID-19 Vaccines To Childhood Immunization Schedule
October 20th, 2022Via: The Defender:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) independent vaccine advisory committee today voted unanimously (15-0) to recommend adding COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months old to the new Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, which will be rolled out in February 2023.
The revised recommendations accepted today by the committee include the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children as young as 6 months old and the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine for children as young as 12.
All COVID-19 vaccines being administered in the U.S. to people under 18 are Emergency Use Authorized (EUA) products. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration did grant full approval to Pfizer’s Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine for ages 12 and older, however, the Comirnaty vaccine is not available in the U.S. — which means all children who get the Pfizer vaccine are getting an EUA product.
When asked if an EUA product could be added to the schedule, Dr. A. Patricia Wodi, a member of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), said the U.S. Department of Justice Office of General Counsel confirmed for the CDC that EUA products can be added.
Commenting on Wodi’s statement, Dr. Meryl Nass said, “And that was that. No legal justification. No moral or ethical justification. And definitely no medical or scientific justification.”
Nass said she isn’t aware of any EUA product ever being added to the schedule until today.

Liz Truss Resigns as UK Prime Minister After Just 44 Days in Office
October 20th, 2022Via: New York Post:
Embattled British Prime Minister Liz Truss announced she would step down Thursday after just 44 days in office — making her the UK’s shortest-serving leader ever.
Truss’ tumultuous stint was marred by a fiscal fiasco and hostile opposition from her own Conservative Party over her proposal to cut taxes on the wealthy while raising corporate taxes, which sent financial markets into a weeks-long slide.
Forcing Children to Declare and Use Pronouns Risks Psychological Harm
October 20th, 2022Via: Epoch Times:
A “disturbing trend” in schools across the country risks psychological harm to children by forcing them to identify their gender, declare their preferred pronouns, and refer to others with confusing pronouns that don’t seem to agree with reality, a California child therapist told The Epoch Times.
Pronoun discussions can usher in a more serious form of confusion, known as delirium, warned Teva Johnstone, who practices in southern California. It’s especially risky for young children, she added.
It’s the practice of asking children to refer to a male as “she,” a female as “he,”or one individual as “they” that damages kids, she said. And forcing children to use pronouns that don’t agree with the gender they observe causes “a risk of psychological harm.”
That’s because most children learn early that pronouns are supposed to represent the observed sex of that person, said Johnstone, who specializes in counseling young patients with psychological disassociation.
She helps children suffering from a “mind-body disconnect,” mostly found in those with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Bank of Japan: “Emergency Bond-Buying Operations”
October 19th, 2022Via: Reuters:
Japan’s central bank on Thursday said it would hold emergency bond-buying operations, offering to buy some $667 million in government debt, a move designed to put a floor under bond prices.
The announcement from the Bank of Japan came as the yen currency teetered at the break of 150 to the dollar, a level that would mark a 32-year-low and has been seen as psychologically important for market players.
Former UK Military Pilots Assisting Chinese with Air Combat Training
October 19th, 2022Via: The War Zone:
Dozens of British former frontline military pilots have been hired by China to provide training and intelligence to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), according to reports corroborated by the U.K. Ministry of Defense (MOD). The situation once again highlights the efforts China is willing to go to expand its military know-how and also sheds light on the sometimes-murky world of private defense contractors.
A story published by The Times of London states that “at least 30” pilots who previously served with the U.K. Armed Forces have been recruited by China “to help Beijing develop its tactics and technological expertise.” The pilots involved are said to be mainly former fast-jet aircrew but also include helicopter pilots. All apparently began working for China from the end of 2019 onward and are said to be earning around £240,000 (roughly $270,000) a year.
Kherson Civilians Evacuated Amid Ukraine Assault As Putin Declares Martial Law For 4 Territories
October 19th, 2022Via: ZeroHedge:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has authorized martial law for the four recently annexed territories of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia. This in effect gives emergency and extraordinary powers to the heads of these regions, with the Associated Press noting that “additional emergency powers” have also been given to “the heads of all regions of Russia” – though it’s unclear precisely what this means.
The announcement comes the day after the Russian army said it is preparing to evacuate civilians from Kherson, which was the first Ukrainian city to fall to the invasion in February. “The entire administration is already moving today,” Moscow-installed regional head Vladimir Saldo confirmed on Tuesday.
This evacuation order is being widely seen as an admission that the Ukrainian counteroffensive threatening occupied Kherson is gaining rapid momentum, so the Russians could be preparing a massive “scorched earth” bombardment in response. Reports estimate that Russian front lines have been beaten back some 20 to 30 kilometers in the last few weeks alone, and Russian commanders are alarmed they could be backed up against the Dnieper River that bisects Ukraine.
And Now… Moderna CEO Admits COVID Is Like Seasonal Flu, Only Vulnerable Need Jabs
October 19th, 2022Via: Summit News:
In a rare moment, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel admitted that COVID is akin to a seasonal flu and that only older people and those who have compromised immune systems need to get vaccinated.
Speaking at a finance conference Monday, Bancel noted “I think it’s going to be like the flu. If you’re a 25-year-old, do you need an annual booster every year if you’re healthy?”
“You might want to… but I think it’s going to be similar to flu where it’s going to be people at high-risk, people above 50 years of age, people with comorbidities, people with cancer and other conditions, people with transplants,” the Moderna head added.
…
So this begs the question, why is the CDC pushing Moderna and Pfizer boosters for 5 year old kids?
It’s quite a turnaround for Bancel, who just one year ago declared that even younger people will have to get vaccine booster shots at least once every three years for ever if normality is ever to return.
