"Hospitals murdered patients” with remdesivir, a drug banned from Ebola trials because of “53% kill rate.”

Why Remdesivir Failed: Preclinical Assumptions Overestimate the Clinical Efficacy of Remdesivir for COVID-19 and Ebola - PMID: 34252308 - PMCID: PMC8448091 - DOI: 10.1128/AAC.01117-21 Why Remdesivir Failed: Preclinical Assumptions Overestimate the Clinical Efficacy of Remdesivir for COVID-19 and Ebola Remdesivir is a nucleoside monophosphoramidate prodrug that has been FDA approved for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the clinical efficacy of remdesivir for COVID-19 remains contentious, as several trials have not found statistically significant differences in either time to clinical improvement or mortality between remdesivir-treated and control groups. Similarly, the inability of remdesivir to provide a clinically significant benefit above other investigational agents in patients with Ebola contrasts with strong, curative preclinical data generated in rhesus macaque models. For both COVID-19 and Ebola, significant discordance between the robust preclinical data and remdesivir's lackluster clinical performance have left many puzzled. Here, we critically evaluate the assumptions of the models underlying remdesivir's promising preclinical data and show that such assumptions overpredict efficacy and minimize toxicity of remdesivir in humans. Had the limitations of in vitro drug efficacy testing and species differences in drug metabolism been considered, the underwhelming clinical performance of remdesivir for both COVID-19 and Ebola would have been fully anticipated.


There’s no evidence showing that remdesivir, the first treatment approved for COVID-19, killed patients taking the drug. The antiviral drug is still approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat the coronavirus that causes the disease. The FDA said it based its approval of the drug on three randomized controlled clinical trials. Remdesivir was one of four drugs used in a 2018 clinical trial against Ebola virus in Africa. It was found to be far less effective than two experimental drugs, but the trial did not show remdesivir killed patients.


In COVID-19 crisis, “only 20% of African Americans had jobs where they could work from home.”

20% of African Americans could work from home, according to labor department data, compared with 30% of whites.


In addition, a survey from the left-leaning Data for Progress found that 45% of black workers have lost jobs or had their hours cut, compared with 31% for white workers. (Samples were not large enough to break out other racial and ethnic groups.) [...] There's also evidence of disparities in who is able to work from home during this crisis: 30% of white people and 37% of Asian Americans could work from home in 2017 and 2018, according to the Labor Department. Meanwhile, only 20% of black people could. In addition, only 16% of Latinos could work from home, compared to nearly twice as many non-Latinos. The March jobs report that much of this analysis is based on only captured the start of the economic crisis created by COVID-19. The April report, which will be released May 8, will show if racial gaps have persisted.


Neither the rate nor the magnitude of the reported late twentieth century surface warming (1979–2000) lay outside normal natural variability.

Misleading : The short timeframe given makes it more difficult to say whether something is or is not outside the bounds of natural variability. However, thorough analysis in the 2013 IPCC report concluded it was “extremely likely” (a probability of at least 95%) that humans are responsible for more than half of the warming since 1950, and likely all of it.


The atmospheric residency time of carbon dioxide is five years and it is quickly sequestered into plants, marine life, oceans and sediments.

Residence Time vs. Adjustment Time of Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere - PMID: 36832750 - PMCID: PMC9955352 - DOI: 10.3390/e25020384 [...] We study the concepts of residence time vs. adjustment time time for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The system is analyzed with a two-box first-order model. Using this model, we reach three important conclusions: (1) The adjustment time is never larger than the residence time and can, thus, not be longer than about 5 years. (2) The idea of the atmosphere being stable at 280 ppm in pre-industrial times is untenable. (3) Nearly 90% of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide has already been removed from the atmosphere.

El Niño drove record highs in global temperatures suggesting rise may not be down to man-made emissions.

Stunning new data indicates El Nino drove record highs in global temperatures suggesting rise may not be down to man-made emissions - Global average temperatures over land have plummeted by more than 1C - Comes amid mounting evidence run of record temperatures about to end - The fall, revealed by Nasa satellites, has been caused by the end of El Nino [...] Others have argued that the records were caused by El Nino, a complex natural phenomenon that takes place every few years, and has nothing to do with greenhouse gas emissions by humans. [...] Big El Ninos always have an immense impact on world weather, triggering higher than normal temperatures over huge swathes of the world. The 2015-16 El Nino was probably the strongest since accurate measurements began, with the water up to 3C warmer than usual.


Harvard study finds that wind turbines create MORE global warming than the fossil fuels they eliminate

"Wind beats coal by any environmental measure, but that doesn’t mean that its impacts are negligible," said David Keith, the Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and senior author of the papers. "We must quickly transition away from fossil fuels to stop carbon emissions. In doing so, we must make choices between various low-carbon technologies, all of which have some social and environmental impacts." [...] To estimate the impacts of wind power, Keith and Miller established a baseline for the 2012‒2014 U.S. climate using a standard weather-forecasting model. Then, they covered one-third of the continental U.S. with enough wind turbines to meet present-day U.S. electricity demand. The researchers found this scenario would warm the surface temperature of the continental U.S. by 0.24 degrees Celsius, with the largest changes occurring at night when surface temperatures increased by up to 1.5 degrees. This warming is the result of wind turbines actively mixing the atmosphere near the ground and aloft while simultaneously extracting from the atmosphere’s motion. [...] The Harvard researchers found that the warming effect of wind turbines in the continental U.S. was actually larger than the effect of reduced emissions for the first century of its operation. This is because the warming effect is predominantly local to the wind farm, while greenhouse gas concentrations must be reduced globally before the benefits are realized.


A windmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.

No, a professor didn't say a windmill will 'never generate' the energy invested in building it [...] Now, we have a meme roaming social media that claims Canadian author and professor Thomas Homer-Dixon said that windmills will "never" generate as much energy as was expended to build the structures. [...] The meme does get a part of the quote right, but it strategically leaves out large swaths of information in order to give people the impression that all windmills never expend the amount of energy that was invested in it, which is not accurate. The meme’s omitted section explains that, while poorly placed windmills may never generate enough energy payback, a good wind site could generate it in three years or less.


Factually Inaccurate : Analyzing the energy used in the production of wind turbines does not show that it's greater than the electricity produced over the turbine's working lifetime.


Blood pressure tracking apps can replace a cuff

Misleading: Despite its claims, the blood pressure app promoted in the Facebook post doesn’t actually measure blood pressure, but allows users to track blood pressure measurements taken with a conventional blood pressure measuring cuff. Unlike the app, blood pressure measuring cuffs are considered medical devices that are subject to oversight by bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Commission to ensure they produce accurate results.


A new app to 'uncuff' blood pressure monitoring [...] - Researchers have developed a groundbreaking smartphone app that measures blood pressure using a smartphone's built-in sensors, eliminating the need for traditional cuffs. This technology can make blood pressure monitoring more accessible and convenient, especially for underserved populations. By allowing users to measure their blood pressure anytime and anywhere, the app could revolutionize cardiovascular care and improve early detection of hypertension. [...] "This app would be really useful in low-income settings where people may not even have existing access to blood pressure tools." Dhamotharan said. "Being able to measure blood pressure more frequently would allow an individual to track any significant changes in blood pressure, monitor for hypertension, and be able to manage their conditions with that knowledge."


Autism and vaccination decreased over the same time period among high-income white households from California, indicating a possible causal relationship

The reason for the rapid rise of autism in the United States that began in the 1990s is a mystery. Although individuals probably have a genetic predisposition to develop autism, researchers suspect that one or more environmental triggers are also needed. One of those triggers might be the battery of vaccinations that young children receive. Using regression analysis and controlling for family income and ethnicity, the relationship between the proportion of children who received the recommended vaccines by age 2 years and the prevalence of autism (AUT) or speech or language impairment (SLI) in each U.S. state from 2001 and 2007 was determined. A positive and statistically significant relationship was found: The higher the proportion of children receiving recommended vaccinations, the higher was the prevalence of AUT or SLI. A 1% increase in vaccination was associated with an additional 680 children having AUT or SLI. Neither parental behavior nor access to care affected the results, since vaccination proportions were not significantly related (statistically) to any other disability or to the number of pediatricians in a U.S. state. The results suggest that although mercury has been removed from many vaccines, other culprits may link vaccines to autism.


Rogers’ claim hinges on his statement that vaccine coverage in high-income white people from California decreased over the years since 2000, and that at the same time, ASD prevalence decreased in the same population. But as we explained above, the study by Nevison and Parker, didn’t provide data on vaccine coverage. Rogers didn’t provide such data either. We reached out to Rogers to ask for it. In his reply to our email, Rogers claimed Science Feedback was among "Stasi narrative check organizations", but provided no evidence to support his claim that vaccine coverage had declined in high-income white households in California. [...] In summary, Rogers’ claim that the level of childhood vaccination among high-income white families in California led to lower rates of ASD is unsubstantiated. Country-level data also doesn’t support the hypothesis of a nationwide decline in vaccination among high-income white families. Roger’s implication about a causal link between a decrease in vaccine coverage and a decline in ASD prevalence is unsubstantiated. The Nevison and Parker study used as supporting evidence did report that the prevalence of ASD declined among white families from richer California counties. However, the study didn’t include data on vaccine coverage and didn’t establish an association with vaccination. Rogers didn’t provide any other data on vaccine coverage either.

Peanut allergies are caused by the peanut oil in vaccines

Misleading: Peanut allergies and peanut oil allergies aren’t one in the same. Some people with peanut allergies may safely consume peanut oil, particularly if it’s the highly-refined variety used in cooking and frying. While peanut oil was used as a vaccine adjuvant ingredient in a clinical trial for an influenza vaccine in the 1960s, this vaccine wasn't approved for public use. [...] The reel claimed that people are "having peanut allergies because they’ve been jabbed with peanut oil", drawing an implicit link between the alleged addition of peanut oil to certain vaccines in 1961 and a subsequent rise in peanut allergies since that time. [...] Peanut oil was only briefly tested as an adjuvant ingredient in vaccines in the 1960s. It was never approved as an ingredient for public use in vaccines and isn’t an ingredient in vaccines today. Further, there isn’t evidence to support that peanut oil causes peanut allergies; rather, risk for peanut allergy may instead be linked to factors like age, genetics, and other allergies.


If masks were effective and necessary, non-mask wearers should be dead by now

Factually inaccurate: The claim states that people not wearing masks should be dead. However, this is not consistent with the epidemiological data to date indicating that only 0.5% to 0.7% of SARS-CoV-2 infections result in death, based on the infection fatality ratio. Flawed reasoning: The claim implies that masks are ineffective or useless against COVID-19, otherwise non-mask wearers should be dead. However, protective equipment can be recommended or necessary even against diseases that are not systematically deadly. The claim also forgets to consider that the use of masks reduces the propagation of the virus among the population and thus indirectly limits the risk of exposure of non-mask wearers.

“Vitamin D3 is radiated sheep’s wool mixed with chloroform”, “Vitamin D3 IS RAT POISON !!”, “D levels are low because of lack of light and high vitamin A diets.”

Harvesting Vitamin D3 from Sheep Wool The most fascinating source of Vitamin D3 is lanolin - a natural fat found in sheep's wool. Lanolin contains 7-dehydrocholesterol, which is a precursor of Vitamin D3. In the industrial process, this ingredient is exposed to UVB radiation, transforming it into fully-fledged Vitamin D3. This process is a perfect example of how nature works with science to provide people with valuable nutrients. [...] Although lanolin from sheep wool is a popular source of Vitamin D3 in supplements, there are also other methods of obtaining it. Vitamin D3 can also be synthetically produced or obtained from other natural sources, such as fish oil. It is important to pay attention to their origin when choosing supplements, especially if you prefer vegan or vegetarian products.


Vitamin D is important for building and maintaining strong bones, as well as regulating calcium and phosphate ion levels in the body. People can obtain vitamin D from food and sun exposure. However, vitamin D supplements may be recommended for people who have difficulty meeting their needs through natural sources. Two groups at high risk of vitamin D deficiency are breastfed infants, as human milk doesn’t contain enough vitamin D, as well as the elderly, because the body’s ability to store and make vitamin D diminishes with age.


“There is a huge boom in cancer, especially in female breast cancer in the younger ages of 45 and below.”

"Something’s going on here … ’22 and ’23, there is a huge boom in cancer, especially in female breast cancer in younger ages of 45 and down below," states TikTok user James Bishop, a self-proclaimed "numbers guy" who identifies himself as a husband, father, musician, retired firefighter, paramedic and educator. But Bishop is wrong. The supposed "boom" in breast cancer is based on a comparison between projected case numbers in women under 45 a few years ago to later projected estimates for all women or those under 50. [...] For 2019 through 2021, Bishop correctly says that ACS projected about 26,500 new cases of breast cancer each year for women under 45. But for 2022, he misleadingly gives a projection — 47,550 — for women under 50. He does not make it clear that this number reflects a wider age range, instead claiming that the cases are "double."


5G at 60 GHz “stops the human body and blood absorbing oxygen”; this is what doctors are describing in COVID-19 cases

Wireless communications transfer data from one point to another using electromagnetic waves. When traveling through the air, these waves interact with particles and substances, such as oxygen, that can absorb part of their energy. This phenomenon causes the electromagnetic signal to lose strength with distance but doesn’t change the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere nor makes it unavailable to the body. Electromagnetic waves can also interact with biological tissues, but current exposure hasn’t been associated with health problems in people.


The global spread of 5th generation (5G) wireless systems causes some concern about health effects of millimeter waves (MMW). To investigate biological effects of local exposure to 5G-MMW on human body, a novel 60 GHz band exposure setup was developed, and its performance was validated. A spatial synthetic beam-type exposure setup using two dielectric lens antennas was proposed to achieve high intensity 60 GHz irradiation to the target area of human skin. Variety distributions and intensities of electromagnetic fields at the exposed area, which is modified by incident angles of the combined beams, were simulated using finite-difference time-domain methods. The exposure performance we estimated was verified by temperature elevations of surface in a physical arm-shaped silicone phantom during the MMW exposure. The interference fringes generated in the exposed area due to the combined two-directional beam radiations were observed both in the simulation and in the phantom experiment but eliminated by applying an orthogonalizing polarized feeding structure. Under these exposure conditions, the local temperature changes, which could evoke warmth sensations, were obtained at the target area of the human forearm skin, which means the achievement of exposure performance we intended.

the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has climbed to a level last seen more than 3 million years ago — before humans even appeared on the rocky ball we call home

The ocean has absorbed about 30% of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide, resulting in ocean acidification and changes to carbonate chemistry that are unprecedented for at least the last 65 million years (high confidence). Risks have been identified for the survival, calcification, growth, development and abundance of a broad range of marine taxonomic groups, ranging from algae to fish, with substantial evidence of predictable trait-based sensitivities (high confidence). There are multiple lines of evidence that ocean warming and acidification corresponding to 1.5°C of global warming would impact a wide range of marine organisms and ecosystems, as well as sectors such as aquaculture and fisheries (high confidence). {3.3.10, 3.4.4}


In the latest bit of bad news for a planet beset by climate change, the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has climbed to a level last seen more than 3 million years ago — before humans even appeared on the rocky ball we call home. [...] The level of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen an average of 2.5 ppm per year over the past decade, reaching 400 ppm in 2013 — and the level appears likely to go higher from here. [...] The last time levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide were this high came during the Pliocene Epoch, which extended from about 5.3 million to 2.6 million years ago. During that period, average sea levels were about 50 feet higher than they are today and forests grew as far north as the Arctic, said Rob Jackson, a professor of earth system science at Stanford University. "Earth was a very different place," he said. "You would hardly recognize the land surface, and my gosh, we don’t want to go there."


Raw manuka honey kills every bacteria scientists throw at it, including antibiotic-resistant superbugs

AUSTRALIAN researchers have been astonished to discover a cure-all right under their noses - a honey sold in health food shops as a natural medicine. The health benefits of raw, unprocessed honey are well known, but in Australia, scientists recently made a startling discovery – that one particular type of honey is capable of killing just about everything scientists throw at it, including some of the worst bacteria known to man. The findings were published in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (June 2009 edition), and could hold special significance at a time when many of the...


Manuka honey contains potent naturally-occurring antibacterial agents, such as the chemical methylglyoxal, making it especially effective for wound disinfection. However, manuka honey is only effective when applied topically to an infected wound, not when eaten. In addition, the process required to produce food-grade manuka honey may inactivate some of its antimicrobial properties, rendering it less effective for wound healing than medical-grade manuka honey.


“sunscreen and then skin cancer, it's a direct correlation”; wearing sunglasses increases the risk of sunburn; sunscreen reduces vitamin D production

In mid-July 2024, a Facebook reel with almost half a million views claimed there is "a direct correlation" between the introduction of sunscreen use and skin cancer. It added that wearing sunglasses reduces natural protection against sunburn. [...] For the same reason, wearing sunglasses will also not prevent the skin from producing vitamin D. We already explained that vitamin D synthesis occurs in the skin, stimulated by solar UVB radiation. Because this process also doesn’t involve the eyes, wearing sunglasses doesn’t interfere with it. In brief, wearing sunglasses doesn’t increase the risk of sunburn and vitamin D deficiency but can help prevent other health problems instead. Overexposure to solar and artificial UV radiation can harm the eyes in the same way it harms the skin. The American Academy of Ophthalmology explains that too much exposure to UV light increases the risk of eye problems, including cataracts and eye cancers. To minimize these risks, the association recommends "wearing UV-blocking sunglasses" that provide 100% protection against both UVA and UVB rays.


Non-CO2 greenhouse gases and climate change [...] Montzka, S., Dlugokencky, E. & Butler, J. Non-CO2 greenhouse gases and climate change. [...] The influence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions on climate is widely recognized, but there are plenty of greenhouse gases besides CO2 and they receive much less attention. In this Review, Stephen Montzka and co-authors summarize the current knowledge on non-CO2 greenhouse gases, including methane, nitrous oxide and halogenic compounds such as chlorofluorocarbons. Although the total warming effect of these gases is less than that of CO2, a substantial reduction in their emissions would measurably reduce the impact of human activity on our climate. And as non-CO2 greenhouse gases tend to have a shorter atmospheric lifetime than CO2, the response of the climate system to emissions cuts in the former would be faster than the response through cuts in CO2 alone.


Global averaged concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most important greenhouse gas, in 2022 were a full 50% above the pre-industrial era for the first time. They continued to grow in 2023. [...] Non-CO₂ Greenhouse Gases: Climate change is driven by multiple greenhouse gases, not just CO2. These gases have different atmospheric lifetimes, greater Global Warming Potential (GWP) than CO2 and uncertain future emissions. [...] Carbon dioxide is the single most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, accounting for approximately 64% of the warming effect on the climate, mainly because of fossil fuel combustion and cement production.


Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are now higher than at any point in our history. In fact, recent data reveals that global CO2 emissions were 182 times higher in 2022 than they were in 1850, around the time the Industrial Revolution was underway.1 [...] Related: 4 Charts Explain Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Country and Sector [...] 1 CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas and short-term action on methane and other short-lived pollutants are essential to address climate change. CO2 represents about three-quarters of annual emissions and estimates are available starting from 1850, allowing us to explore a longer history of carbon dioxide emissions.


“New Study Links Pfizer’s COVID Vaccine to ‘Turbo Cancer’”

To date, more than 270 million people in the U.S. have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Incidental cases of illnesses, including cancer, occurred even before COVID-19 vaccines existed. Therefore, in order to determine if vaccination raises the risk of illness, it isn’t enough to simply point to cases occurring after vaccination as evidence. One must compare the incidence of the illness following vaccination with the baseline incidence. There’s no evidence indicating that COVID-19 vaccines raise the risk of developing cancer or that they worsen cancer.

Best available data show sea-level rise is not accelerating. Local and regional sea levels continue to exhibit typical natural variability—in some places rising and in others falling.

New satellite measurements show sea level rise is accelerating, as CNN accurately reports in CNN, by Brandon Miller — 15 Feb 2018 [...] Global data contradict claim of no acceleration in sea level rise [...] Sea level rise is accelerating, and with it the risk associated with coastal storm surge, contrary to claim in Forbes


For example, global average sea level has risen by about 7–8 inches since 1900, with almost half (about 3 inches) of that rise occurring since 1993. Human-caused climate change has made a substantial contribution to this rise since 1900, contributing to a rate of rise that is greater than during any preceding century in at least 2,800 years. Global sea level rise has already affected the United States; the incidence of daily tidal flooding is accelerating in more than 25 Atlantic and Gulf Coast cities. [...] Natural variability, including El Niño events and other recurring patterns of ocean–atmosphere interactions, impact temperature and precipitation, especially regionally, over timescales of months to years.

COVID-19 is caused by snake venom, not a virus; snake venom is in the COVID-19 vaccines and causes miscarriage

FULL CLAIM: "COVID-19 is not a respiratory virus of any kind, it is actually venom poison, and they’re using, I believe, synthesized peptides and proteins of venoms of snakes and they’re administering them and targeting them to certain people [...] this is the most obvious bioweapon ever"; "The mRNA inside of the Moderna and Pfizer shot is actually derived from snake venom"; L-amino-acid oxidase (LAAO), which is found in the COVID-19 vaccine and snake venom, inhibits syncytium production and increases the risk of miscarriage by interfering with placenta development [...] In May 2023, the Stew Peters Show published a sequel to "Watch The Water", with Ardis claiming that the COVID-19 vaccines increased the risk of miscarriage due to the presence of L-amino-acid oxidase, which he claimed is also found in snake venom and that would interfere with placenta formation. Ardis made the same claim a few months earlier on the podcast "Unrestricted Truths with James Grundvig", which was shared by other websites associated with health misinformation. [...] In the sequel to "Watch The Water", Ardis built on his earlier claims about snake venom and COVID-19, now asserting that L-amino-acid oxidase, which is present in snake venom, is also present in COVID-19 vaccines and increases the risk of miscarriage.


Human-produced carbon might be one of the factors [of climate change], but there’s simply no evidence that it is a significant one.

Natural factors have certainly caused climate changes in the past, but that does not mean human factors are not responsible for climate change now. Observations clearly show that incoming solar radiation and the effects of volcanic eruptions have not changed in a way that could explain global warming. Instead, research has shown that human activities are the cause.


"From the body of evidence since IPCC (1996), we conclude that there has been a discernible human influence on global climate. Studies are beginning to separate the contributions to observed climate change attributable to individual external influences, both anthropogenic and natural. This work suggests that anthropogenic greenhouse gases are a substantial contributor to the observed warming, especially over the past 30 years. However, the accuracy of these estimates continues to be limited by uncertainties in estimates of internal variability, natural and anthropogenic forcing, and the climate response to external forcing." [...] To reiterate: the best data collected from satellites validated by balloons to test the hypothesis of a human-induced global warming from the release of C02 into the atmosphere shows no meaningful trend of increasing temperatures, even as the climate models exaggerated the warmth that ought to have occurred from a build-up in C02. [...] "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."


“The unvaccinated Amish rarely get cancer, autism, or heart disease.”

The Amish are a Christian Anabaptist group of Swiss-German ancestry who arrived in the U.S. in the 18th century. Today about 335,000 Amish people live in 31 U.S. states. The Amish religion does not restrict access to modern medical care and children are vaccinated to some degree. Independently of immunization status and lifestyle, the Amish population has less genetic variability, which may be protective against certain diseases while increasing susceptibility to others.


Study shows myocarditis from COVID-19 vaccination carries serious risk of death

The present nationwide study involving more than 44 million vaccinated individuals in Korea demonstrated several clinically important findings on acute myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination. First, VRM was a very rare complication of COVID-19 vaccination (1.08 cases per 100 000 vaccinated persons) and mainly developed in association with mRNA vaccines, especially in young males. Second, the demographic characteristics of COVID-19 VRM differed from those of the previous studies. Third, notably, we demonstrated severe COVID-19 VRM including FM or death was not uncommon (19.8% of total VRM). Sudden cardiac death attributable to COVID-19 VRM demonstrated in this study warrants the careful monitoring or warning of SCD as a potentially fatal complication of COVID-19 vaccination, especially in individuals who are ages under 45 years with mRNA vaccination. Fourth, the incidence of severe cases of COVID-19 VRM significantly decreased in the third vaccination than in the first or second COVID-19 vaccination (Structured Graphical Abstract). [...] Sudden cardiac death was the most serious and worrisome adverse reaction of COVID-19 vaccination in our study. In eight SCD cases, VRM was not suspected as a clinical diagnosis or a cause of death before performing an autopsy. All SCD cases attributable to COVID-19 VRM were aged under 45 years and received mRNA vaccines. Vaccine-related myocarditis was the only possible cause of death in all SCD cases. Therefore, SCD attributable to COVID-19 VRM demonstrated in this study warrants the careful monitoring or warning of SCD as a potentially fatal complication of COVID-19 vaccination, especially in individuals who are ages under 45 years and receiving mRNA vaccination.


Before COVID vaccines were deployed and administered, it was reported that patients with COVID-19 have approximatively 16 times the risk for myocarditis relative to patients without COVID-193. Matched analyses from medical records (Dec 2020 to May 2021) from the largest health care organization in Israel21 showed that COVID-19 vaccination was associated with an elevated risk of myocarditis (risk ratio, 3.24) compared to unvaccinated and SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a substantially increased risk of myocarditis (risk ratio, 18.28) compared to uninfected. It was also noted that a significant lower mortality rate was observed among individuals with myocarditis after mRNA vaccination when compared to those with a viral infection–related myocarditis21,22. In line with these results, a more recent study showed that the relative risk of heart failure within 90 days was 0.56 and 1.48 for myocarditis associated with vaccination and COVID-19 disease, respectively23. In summary, compared with myocarditis associated with COVID-19 disease, myocarditis after vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines occurs less frequent and in addition is associated with a better clinical outcome23. [...] Le Vu, S. et al. Risk of Myocarditis after Covid-19 mRNA Vaccination: Impact of Booster Dose and Dosing Interval. https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.07.31.22278064 (2022).


Studies have shown that people vaccinated against COVID-19 are less likely to develop severe disease, require hospitalization, and die from COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated people. While COVID-19 vaccines are associated with a slightly elevated risk of myocarditis and a particular blood clotting disorder, it is COVID-19 that is associated with a greater risk of these illnesses and other complications. On balance, the evidence gathered so far by studies shows that the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the risks, not the other way around.


Vaccine killed 3.5X more Americans than COVID virus

An analysis by NPR shows a parallel result: counties that voted for Trump in 2020 had much higher COVID death rates than those that went for Biden. The explanation: low vaccination rates fueled by COVID misinformation. [...] Cases of COVID-19 remain far more common in unvaccinated people, though the difference is narrowing somewhat. The report shows that the rate of COVID-19 in unvaccinated people is 3.5 times higher than in vaccinated people, down from a four-time differnce. To date, there have been 47,687 COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases in Oregon out of a total of 399,361.. Where the vaccines really make a difference is in preventing serious COVID cases. Nearly all breakthrough cases show no symptoms, or symptoms that are relatively mild. Once again, just 4.4% of the relatively small number of vaccine breakthrough cases have been hospitalized and just 1.2% have died.


“Mask study published by NIH suggests N95 Covid masks may expose wearers to dangerous level of toxic compounds linked to seizures and cancer”

Scientific evidence shows wearing a face mask reduces the spread of COVID-19. Wearing a face mask also doesn’t significantly impede the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, as gas molecules are many times smaller than the pores of even an N95 mask. COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through infectious liquid particles spread from infected to uninfected individuals. Masks act as simple physical barriers that reduce the dissemination of these liquid particles, which are generated by people when they cough, sneeze, or speak.


But a study quietly re-shared by the National Institutes of Health in spring suggests the tight-fitting mask may expose users to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals. [...] The study found that the chemicals released by these masks had eight times the recommended safety limit of toxic volatile organic compounds (TVOCs). [...] The study was published in the journal Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety and on the NIH's website.


Pfizer documents confirm that mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations contain graphene oxide

COVID-19 vaccines were rigorously tested in clinical trials before they were permitted to be used in the general public. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine doesn’t contain graphene oxide nor is graphene listed on any credible ingredient lists of any COVID-19 vaccine provided by public health authorities and regulators. However, some have misrepresented a Pfizer document to claim otherwise. In fact, the document describes a microscopy study that was part of the structural characterization of the vaccine spike protein, in which scientists used graphene oxide as a support material for sample processing and visualization. Misrepresents source: The claim is based on a screenshot of a Pfizer document that omits important context. In fact, the FDA-released Pfizer document didn’t "confirm" that COVID-19 vaccines contain graphene oxide. The document discusses research procedures used in testing the vaccine, rather than the manufacture of the actual vaccine. [...] The document released by Pfizer doesn’t state that graphene oxide is an ingredient of its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Instead, it described a microscopy study used to assess the structure of the vaccine spike protein. The technique involved uses graphene oxide grids to stably arrange the samples for microscopy. This document doesn’t mention any use of graphene oxide during the manufacture of the vaccine, and no credible ingredient lists of the vaccine show graphene oxide as an ingredient.


"Dr. Andreas Noack is 1 of the foremost experts on graphene in the world. He has studied data from Professor Pablo Campra from the University of Almeira. Dr. Campra used micro-Raman spectroscopy to analyze the contents of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Noack reviewed Dr. Campra’s findings and found that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine contains graphene hydroxide. Dr. Noack confirmed the findings of Robert Young, M.Sc., D.Sc., Ph.D., who used phase-contrast microscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to analyze the following COVID-19 vaccines: Pfizer –BioNTech mRNA Vaccine, the Moderna-Lonza mRNA-1273 Vaccine, the Serum Institute Oxford Astrazeneca Vaccine and the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine.

“COVID Vaccines Were Never Safe for Pregnant Women, Pfizer’s own data show”

Safety monitoring and clinical data continue to show that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women and protect them from pregnancy complications due to COVID-19. No evidence from animal or clinical studies suggests that these vaccines cause or increase fertility problems or negative pregnancy outcomes.


Safety monitoring and clinical data continue to show that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women and protect them from pregnancy complications due to COVID-19. No evidence from animal or clinical studies suggests that these vaccines cause or increase fertility problems or negative pregnancy outcomes. [...] On 19 April 2023, the Brownstone Institute published an article claiming that Australian regulatory authority the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) had evidence that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was unsafe during pregnancy before approving it provisionally on 27 August 2021. [...] Pfizer’s approval applications for the COVID-19 vaccines have become a regular subject of misinformation for individuals who misuse and distort the data presented in them to support the narrative that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe. In the case of the Brownstone Institute, the article completely misrepresented the results of the experiments, which don’t support and actually contradict the article’s claim, as we will explain below.


COVID vaccines have been contentious ever since they were developed in response to the coronavirus pandemic, though the evidence is that they are safe and effective. One of the concerns has been whether the vaccines were safe for pregnant women. A recent review looked at the evidence available from North America, Israel and Europe. The Conversation Africa’s Ozayr Patel asked vaccine specialist Marta C. Nunes to sum up the findings. [...] Current COVID-19 vaccines were not tested in pregnant women in the initial clinical trials. But in many countries, pregnant women did get the vaccine. Observational studies have been done since the vaccines became available, to generate information on the vaccines’ safety and how well they work. [...] The question was whether it was safe to vaccinate pregnant women with COVID vaccines. None of the studies found any safety concerns regarding these vaccines during pregnancy. The reactions to the vaccine that were reported by pregnant women were similar to the reactions that were reported by other adult people who got the vaccine. There was no difference between pregnant women and the general population as regards safety.


Red Bull contain cocaine and buprenorphine

Home drug tests are a simple and rapid method for detecting the presence of drugs of abuse in a variety of human samples, including saliva, urine, and blood. However, these tests only provide preliminary results and need confirmation from a laboratory test. Furthermore, to be reliable, the tests should be carried out correctly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Using samples that the test wasn’t designed to analyze, such as food and beverages, is a misuse of the test and results produced from such tests are invalid.


The pandemic was planned; respiratory illness surge in New York and China isn’t airborne but due to chlorine and benzene in food and water

COVID-19 pandemic in New York (state) Disease COVID-19 Virus strain SARS-CoV-2 Location New York state, U.S.First outbreak Wuhan , Hubei , China Index case Manhattan , New York City Arrival date mid-February 2020[ 1] (1st positive March 1)[ 2] Confirmed cases 6,390,225[ 3] Hospitalized cases 100,000+ (total)[ 4] [...] Government response to the pandemic in New York began with a full lockdown from March 2020 to April 2020, followed by a four-phase reopening plan by region from April 2020 to July 2020. Additional modifications to the plan were imposed in July as the state learned more about the pandemic and due to political pressure. In October 2020, a micro-cluster strategy was announced which shuts down areas of the state to varying degrees by ZIP code when cases increase.


Respiratory viruses like the flu, RSV, the common cold, and SARS-CoV-2 tend to circulate more widely in winter, resulting in more respiratory illnesses in winter months. Chlorine-containing compounds are common antimicrobial agents used in the food industry to kill harmful bacteria and improve the safety of food products. Benzene can occur as a result of naturally-occurring compounds in soft drinks and beverages. Regulatory agencies in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, and Australia have found that benzene levels in soft drinks and beverages are generally well within safe limits.


New England Journal of Medicine “proves” 80% miscarriage rate among vaccinated women; COVID-19 vaccines harm men’s and women’s fertility

Misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines harming fertility is a widespread myth that has damaged public trust in the vaccines. While the original vaccine clinical trials didn’t evaluate the effects of COVID-19 vaccines on fertility, scientific studies and safety surveillance data later on have shown that COVID-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women and don’t cause pregnancy or fertility problems. COVID-19 itself is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications, which vaccination can help prevent.


Can COVID-19 vaccines affect fertility? Infertility has not been a problem for men or women for any of the COVID-19 vaccines. One study noted vaccines do not affect conception by either partner. Prior COVID-19 infection among women also does not affect conception. However, recent COVID-19 infection among males does affect their fertility and ability to conceive. [...] COVID-19 vaccination lowers your risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and death. The known risks of COVID-19 illness and its related, possibly severe complications, such as long-term health problems, hospitalization and even death, far outweigh the potential risks of having a rare adverse reaction to vaccination like myocarditis or blood clots. COVID-19 vaccines do not affect pregnancy or fertility.


Queensland Health Researchers find that long COVID doesn’t exist

FULL CLAIM: "No such thing as ‘long COVID,’ health agency says in shocking claim: ‘Unnecessary fear’"; "Top government health chief declares 'long COVID' doesn't really exist, study finds flu impairs more people in the long term"; "Australia: Queensland Health Researchers Claim ‘Long COVID’ Isn’t Real, Calls It ‘Unnecessary Fear’" [...] In this review, we show why claims that the study found long COVID doesn’t exist grossly misrepresent the study and the position of Queensland’s Chief Health Officer. [...] Therefore, the study demonstrated the opposite of what headlines by the New York Post and The Blaze claim: long COVID exists and that it significantly affects people’s lives. What the researchers also found was that long COVID resembled post-viral syndrome that also develops in some people after other viral infections, like flu.


The CDC found a 236% increased risk of autism in African-American boys associated with the MMR vaccine

Table 3 shows results for the entire cohort excluding African American children. As can be observed, there is no statistically significant effect for any of the subclasses in either gender or age cut-off for MMR uptake. This shows that the effect observed overall is due to the very strong "signal" seen exclusively in African American boys. In other words, the strong, statistically significant relationship between younger first MMR age and higher autism incidence in African American males may be skewing the results for larger, more general populations that include African American males (e.g., all boys and all African Americans) to show a "relationship" that is actually only in African American males.


“No discernible benefit of covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy”; “higher rate of neonatal and all-cause readmissions among babies born to vaccinated mothers”

Going against the now-extensive record on COVID-19 vaccines and pregnancy, a recent Instagram post claimed that there is "No Discernable Benefit of COVID-19 Vaccination in Pregnancy." The post was quoting a Substack newsletter from Dr. Peter McCullough, a prolific spreader of vaccine misinformation. The newsletter focused on the new JAMA Pediatrics study on vaccine safety, also claiming that it found "No Assurances on Safety." [...] McCullough misused two pieces of raw data from the JAMA Pediatrics study to incorrectly imply that COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy is unsafe and ineffective. He ignored the primary results of the paper supporting the safety of maternal COVID-19 vaccination for babies, as well as the larger body of data showing maternal COVID-19 vaccination is safe and effective. [...] DeSilva and Vazquez-Benitez added that the study did not show an increased risk for neonatal readmission with additional COVID-19 vaccine doses received during pregnancy. The study also followed babies through 6 months of age and found a similar rate of hospital readmission regardless of maternal vaccination status.


A total of 15 studies were included. We found that maternal vaccination during pregnancy was related to the reduction rates of Preterm, SGA, Low Apgar score at 5 min (<7). In addition, there was no evidence of a higher risk of adverse neonatal outcomes after maternal vaccination of COVID-19 during pregnancy, including NICU admission, preterm birth with gestation <34 weeks, low birth weight, very low birth weight, congenital anomalies, and so on. [...] Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data mainly concerning neonatal outcomes after maternal COVID-19 vaccination. In the present study, the main neonatal outcomes are preterm, SGA, NICU admission, and low 5 min Apgar score (<7). In population-based larger cohorts published from Israel, Canada, Sweden, and Norway, and the US, except for data from Canada, all three other studies reported that COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy was not significantly associated with an increased risk for adverse neonatal outcomes.27,29,31,32 After pooling all of these data, our results showed not only no increased risk from maternal vaccination but also lower rates of adverse neonatal outcomes among those born to individuals vaccinated during pregnancy. As shown in Fig. 2 and Table 2, 17%, 7%, and 8% decreases in the odds of preterm, SGA, and low 5 min Apgar score (<7) were associated with COVID-19 vaccination when compared with unvaccination during pregnancy, respectively. These results may gain confidence to improve the acceptance of vaccines among pregnant women.


“…a virus is not the cause of an illness. It’s a necessary cause […] but it is not the cause.”

Examples of common human diseases caused by viruses include the common cold, influenza, chickenpox, and cold sores. Many serious diseases such as rabies, Ebola virus disease, AIDS (HIV), avian influenza, and SARS are caused by viruses. The relative ability of viruses to cause disease is described in terms of virulence. Other diseases are under investigation to discover if they have a virus as the causative agent, such as the possible connection between human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) and neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue syndrome.[108] There is controversy over whether the bornavirus, previously thought to cause neurological diseases in horses, could be responsible for psychiatric illnesses in humans.[109]


FULL CLAIM: "Exposure to a virus is not the same as infection […] That means that a virus is not the cause of an illness. You can’t get a common cold without the virus. [...] On 6 April 2021, comedian Russel Brand posted a video on his Facebook page of him interviewing neuroscientist and psychologist Lisa Feldman Barrett, a professor at Northeastern University. In the video, Barrett argued that "a virus is not the cause of an illness". She explained that though the viruses are a necessary cause because "you can’t get the common cold without the virus," they are not the cause [Barrett’s emphasis]. The video received more than 390,000 views and more than 16,000 interactions on Facebook, including likes and comments. [...] Although people varied in their susceptibility to developing the disease, the rhinovirus was still the cause of participants’ cold symptoms in the study. Without receiving the nasal drop containing the rhinovirus, none of the patients would have developed a cold. When discussing the causes and outcomes of a disease, distinguishing between a "necessary cause" and "cause," and describing chronic stress as a cause rather than a contributing factor, as Barrett did, is imprecise and potentially misleading.


Each of these ingredients [thimerosal, ovalbumin, formaldehyde, sodium deoxycholate] is a known neurotoxin

This article incorrectly claims that the flu vaccine contains ingredients that are neurotoxic. The claim that the flu vaccine “contains 25,000 times more mercury than is legally allowed in drinking water” is based on an unreliable source.


neurotoxin, substance that alters the structure or function of the nervous system. More than 1,000 chemicals are known to have neurotoxic effects in animals. The substances include a wide range of natural and human-made chemical compounds, from snake venom and pesticides to ethyl alcohol, heroin, and cocaine. [...] Neurotoxins are absorbed through inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, or injection and can have immediate or long-lasting impacts by causing neurons to malfunction or by disrupting interneuron communication. Slurred words or poor coordination due to toxic effects on neurons from alcohol consumption, for example, are temporary, whereas cognitive damage caused by lead exposure is irreversible. Certain neurotoxins are highly potent and have been developed into chemical weapons. The nerve agent sarin, for example, is an organophosphorous compound that is classified as a weapon of mass destruction; sarin gas can kill a person within 10 minutes of exposure. [...] In the modern era, there is significant concern about the combined effects of moderate and even low-level exposure to multiple neurotoxins; more research is needed, however, to determine the physiological significance of such exposures. In addition, thousands of other chemicals are suspected of having neurotoxic effects, though many remain untested.


This article published in Health Nut News, shared more than 120,000 times, was originally published on the website Complete Health and Happiness. The article discusses the purported dangers of ingredients in the flu vaccine. It claims that the flu vaccine contains several "contaminants", specifically thimerosal, ovalbumin, formaldehyde and sodium deoxycholate, which it labels as known neurotoxins. [...] The other ingredients mentioned in this article, ovalbumin and sodium deoxycholate, are also not known neurotoxins. Ovalbumin is the main protein found in egg white, which is consumed daily by many people in much greater quantities than is found in the flu vaccine, without any ill effects. It can, in rare cases, trigger an allergic reaction, not unlike other food allergies (e.g. peanuts, shellfish). Sodium deoxycholate is a bile salt and a form of deoxycholic acid, which has been used in cosmetic surgery in an injectable form, and at higher levels than in the flu vaccine, to reduce subcutaneous fat. Neurotoxicity is not a known side effect of such treatment.


Vitamin K shots are dangerous because of toxic levels of aluminum; Hepatitis B vaccines contain toxic ingredients

Mostly because someone on the Internet told them to be worried about them, even though vitamin K shots are safe, are free of mercury and any other toxins you might really need to be concerned about, and the dose of synthetic vitamin K your baby gets in the shot will not cause an overdose. Or they might be worried that their baby might get up to 100mcg/L of aluminum with each shot. Of course, since they are only getting 0.5ml with the shot, that only equals about 0.05mcg of aluminum! Although it is an extremely tiny amount, why is it even in there? It is not working as an adjuvant as some would propose (again, vitamin K is not a vaccine), but rather is likely just a byproduct of the manufacturing process. And you can be assured that your baby can quickly, and safely eliminate the small amount from their body. [...] There are isolated case reports of anaphylaxis in newborns to other things, including antibiotics, hepatitis B immunoglobulin, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), and atracurium (used in anesthesia) – but not to vitamin K shots.


Alzheimer’s disease is a “physician-caused disease” that arises due to nutritional deficiencies

Nutritional deficiencies of vitamin B1 (thiamine), caused by chronic alcoholism, and of vitamin B12 can be reversed with treatment. People who have abused substances such as alcohol and recreational drugs sometimes display signs of dementia even after the substance abuse has stopped.


Alzheimer’s disease is a physical illness which damages a person’s brain. This eventually causes dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. [...] The term 'Alzheimer's disease' – or Alzheimer’s – can be used to describe the physical disease that damages the brain, as well as the type of dementia that the disease causes.


Incorrect: Alzheimer’s disease is not a physician-caused disease. To date, the exact cause of Alzheimer’s is unknown, but it is thought to arise from a combination of age-related, genetic, and environmental factors. [...] Furthermore, it’s also unclear whether it is actually nutritional deficiencies that contribute to Alzheimer’s or if it is Alzheimer’s itself that causes nutritional deficiencies since the disease can lead to changes in diet and lifestyle. [...] The claim that Alzheimer’s is caused by nutritional deficiencies is incorrect and overstates the scientific evidence for the role of nutrition in Alzheimer’s. Contrary to the claim made in the Facebook reel, Alzheimer’s is a complex disease that is associated with multiple factors, including genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Although some studies suggest that certain vitamin deficiencies might play a role in the risk of developing Alzheimer’s, when the evidence is taken as a whole, the findings are contradictory and insufficient to establish a definite link. Therefore, this video grossly oversimplifies the causes for Alzheimer’s disease.


COVID-19 vaccines can be sexually transmitted to unvaccinated people; vaccines cause blood discoloration and weaken immune system

Available COVID-19 vaccines only use protein fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 virus or genetic information to produce these fragments instead of a full virus. Thus, COVID-19 vaccines cannot replicate in the body nor can they pass from one person to another.


Factually inaccurate: There is no available scientific evidence supporting the claims that COVID-19 vaccines cause blood discoloration or weaken the immune system. [...] A video from naturopath Aaron Lewis circulated on social media in September 2023 claiming that COVID-19 vaccines could be sexually transmitted from a vaccinated person to an unvaccinated one. To support his claim, Lewis showed what was allegedly a micrograph of blood from an unvaccinated person soon after sexual intercourse with a COVID-19-vaccinated individual. Lewis then claimed that the blood started to look like "a vaccinated person’s blood". Among what Lewis considered to be the hallmarks of a vaccinated person’s blood were blood "discoloration" as well as a large amount of the fungus Candida. Lewis then added that "mass level of candida" "means that the white blood cells are non-responsive".


Ancient civilizations once inhabited Antarctica, as shown by the pyramids there, but the continent’s position and climate rapidly changed due to ‘tectonics and pole shift’.

Some of the most intriguing discoveries in Antarctica aren’t artifacts from ancient civilizations, but from our own, dating to a time as recently as a century ago, sometimes less. The sailors and explorers of those times were plumbing the depths of a harsh and largely unknown country, using the best knowledge and equipment of the day. [...] Did Ancient Humans Ever Live in Antarctica? [...] With such rich recent history to examine and preserve, it seems a shame that so much online energy and excitement should be devoted to the pseudoscientific ideas and fanciful notions about supposed Antarctic civilizations — for which, to be clear, there is not a shred of proof.


Pyramid-shaped peaks in Antarctica are naturally carved by glaciers, not constructed by an ancient civilization


Aluminum in vaccines causes neurological damage and autism

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are serious multisystem developmental disorders and an urgent global public health concern. Dysfunctional immunity and impaired brain function are core deficits in ASD. Aluminum (Al), the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant, is a demonstrated neurotoxin and a strong immune stimulator. Hence, adjuvant Al has the potential to induce neuroimmune disorders. When assessing adjuvant toxicity in children, two key points ought to be considered: (i) children should not be viewed as "small adults" as their unique physiology makes them much more vulnerable to toxic insults; and (ii) if exposure to Al from only few vaccines can lead to cognitive impairment and autoimmunity in adults, is it unreasonable to question whether the current pediatric schedules, often containing 18 Al adjuvanted vaccines, are safe for children? By applying Hill's criteria for establishing causality between exposure and outcome we investigated whether exposure to Al from vaccines could be contributing to the rise in ASD prevalence in the Western world.


Scientific evidence shows that vaccines are safe and not associated with autism. The amount of aluminum present in vaccines is very low, in fact much lower than the amount of aluminum in the diet of infants. Furthermore, the biologically active form of aluminum cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, hence it cannot cause damage to the brain or autism.


Impaired brain function, excessive inflammation, and autoimmune manifestations are common in autism. Aluminum (Al), the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant, is a demonstrated neurotoxin and a strong immune stimulator. Hence, adjuvant Al has the necessary properties to induce neuroimmune disorders. Because peripheral immune stimuli in the postnatal period can compromise brain development and cause permanent neurological impairments, the possibility that such outcomes could also occur with administration of Al vaccine adjuvants needs to be considered. In regard to the risk of adjuvant toxicity in children, the following should be noted: (i) children should not be viewed as "small adults" as their unique physiology makes them more vulnerable to toxic insults; (ii) in adult humans Al adjuvants can cause a variety of serious autoimmune and inflammatory conditions including those affecting the brain, yet children are routinely exposed to much higher amounts of Al from vaccines than adults; (iii) compelling evidence has underscored the tight connection between the development of the immune system and that of the brain. Thus, it appears plausible that disruptions of critical events in immune development may also play a role in the establishment of neurobehavioral disorders; (iv) the same immune system components that play key roles in brain development appear to be targeted for impairment by Al adjuvants. In summary, research data suggests that vaccines containing Al may be a contributing etiological factor in the increasing incidence of autism. [...] Banks WA, Kastin AJ.

"Global warming is driving polar bears toward extinction"

Often photographed clinging to Arctic ice floes as its habitat melts away into warming waters, the polar bear is the poster child for U.S. efforts to save wildlife on the brink of extinction using the Endangered Species Act. [...] When the George W. Bush administration listed the polar bear as threatened in 2008, it helped raise public awareness about the connection between global warming and the plight of iconic wildlife. But the Bush administration stipulated that the listing could not be used to regulate the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing the polar bear’s habitat to melt away. "The polar bear was the first species protected under the Endangered Species Act solely because of threats from global warming," said Shaye Wolf, climate science director for the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group. "The listing not only raised public awareness that climate change is already driving vulnerable species like the polar bear toward extinction, but also forced the Bush administration to adopt the consensus view of the world’s scientists on global warming."


Polar bear: A polar bear is fit to swim 100 miles for food, in search of mates or, more recently, just some ice to stand on. With five inches of blubber keeping this enormous bear prepared for subzero temperatures, the largest member of the bear family has adapted to remarkable Arctic conditions. The fat stored in a polar bear carcass becomes essential food for other Arctic species, like the Arctic fox. However, the extreme impacts that human-caused climate change has had on the Arctic is pushing the polar bear closer to extinction. [...] Listed as a "threatened" species in 2008, polar bears are rapidly losing the sea ice they use to hunt, mate and raise their young. Polar bear numbers increased following the establishment of hunting regulations in the 1970s and today stand at 20,000 to 25,000. However, the rapid decline of Arctic sea ice because of global warming has reversed this trend, and currently at least five of the 19 polar bear populations are declining. The U.S. Geological Survey predicts that under current greenhouse gas emission trends, two-thirds of the world’s polar bears, including all those in Alaska, will likely disappear by 2050.


Childhood vaccines contain “mixed up toxins” including formaldehyde, aluminum, aborted fetal DNA, fetal bovine serum, monkey kidney cells, mercury, pig circoviruses

[...] ◾DNA from porcine (pig) Circovirus type-1 ◾Human embryonic lung cell cultures (from aborted fetuses) ✳You can view all of these ingredients on the CDCs website. I encourage everyone to do their own research. Look up the MSDS on these chemicals. Read the thousands of peer reviewed studies that have evaluated the biological consequences these chemicals can have on the body, especially when being injected.


Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans

There are some products sold that claim to be safe for people and wildlife, but that kill rodents like rats and mice. One of these is corn gluten mea... [...] There are some products sold that claim to be safe for people and wildlife, but that kill rodents like rats and mice. One of these is corn gluten meal. But I am not finding any scientific evidence it kills mice; just anecdotal. In fact, I found a couple of science documents that said rats in labs are fed, in part, corn gluten!! [...] Is Corn Gluten Meal an effective (prove it) Rodenticide?


FULL CLAIM: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans; "ALL of the ingredients in this mouse poison are found in our every day food. If it’s killing mice…what is it doing to your body?" In late June 2024, dentist and wellness YouTuber Michelle Jorgensen claimed in a Facebook reel that "a lot of processed food that [people] are eating has the same exact ingredients as mice poison". She implied that salt and corn-containing processed food is hazardous to humans based on the fact that some rodenticides use the same ingredients to kill mice and rats. [...] In summary, while table salt and corn gluten meal are used in rodenticides, this doesn’t mean that they’re toxic to humans. Both ingredients are lethal to rodents because they form a thick plug that physically obstructs the airway of rodents. Since rodents are unable to vomit, this obstruction leads to suffocation and death. However, this mechanism doesn’t occur in humans. It’s safe for humans to consume salt and corn-derived products as part of a balanced diet.


"Autopsies performed by the Italian pathologists [have] shown that [COVID-19] is not pneumonia but it is disseminated intravascular coagulation"

FULL CLAIM: "It is now clear that the whole world has been attacking the so-called coronavirus pandemic wrongly due to a serious pathophysiological diagnosis error. ... Autopsies performed by the Italian pathologists [have] shown that it is not pneumonia but it is disseminated intravascular coagulation (thrombosis) which ought to be fought with antibiotics, antivirals, anti-inflammatories and anticoagulants." The claim that autopsies in Italy prove that COVID-19 is not pneumonia but disseminated intravascular coagulation began circulating from mid-April 2020 onwards on various platforms such as Whatsapp, YouTube and Facebook in several languages such as Spanish, French, German, and more recently, English. English-language Facebook posts, based on a blog post making the same claim, went viral towards the end of May 2020, receiving more than 810,000 views to date. [...] Various versions of a message are being highly circulated across social media, which says that, according to Italian physicians, the virus SARS-CoV-2 is being "treated wrongly", as the cause of death in patients is not pneumonia but a "disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (thrombosis)". There has also been a highly circulated video attributed to the Honduran physician and neuropsychologist Daniel Davila Nolasco regarding the same claim.


Blank COVID-19 vaccine safety inserts show there are no safety and effectiveness studies for these vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines went through clinical trials to determine their effectiveness and safety before they were authorized for use. The Nuremberg Code is a set of ten principles defining legitimate medical research. However, the Code doesn’t apply to medical interventions that were already tested in clinical trials and shown to be safe and effective, like the COVID-19 vaccines.


the U.S. Climate Reference Network[...] finds there has been no warming for the past 14 years at least

Using the data that were available at the time (through 2012), the last climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that there had been no statistically significant increase in global surface temperature from 1998-2012. [...] The most likely explanation for the lack of significant warming at the Earth’s surface in the past decade or so is that natural climate cycles—a series of La Niña events and a negative phase of the lesser-known Pacific Decadal Oscillation—caused shifts in ocean circulation patterns that moved some excess heat into the deep ocean. Even so, recent years have been some of the warmest on record, and scientists expect temperatures will swing back up soon. [...] Just because the global surface temperature has not risen significantly in the past decade doesn't mean the Earth's heat energy imbalance has vanished, though. Excess heat energy trapped by greenhouses gases can have more than one fate in the Earth system; among other things, it can cause water to evaporate, it can melt ice, and it can be mixed into the deep ocean by overturning currents.


Moderna was already producing COVID-19 vaccines before the beginning of the pandemic

An article published on the website News Punch on Feb. 10 said, "Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel has been caught admitting to his friends at the World Economic Forum that his company produced 100,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine doses in 2019 – before the pandemic started." [...] An article and Instagram posts claim Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said the company produced 100,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine before the pandemic. [...] Health Feedback, Moderna didn’t already produce COVID-19 mRNA vaccines before the pandemic; statement by CEO of Moderna misinterpreted, Feb. 14, 2023


Babies under six months shouldn’t drink water as it can result in health risks

Facebook reel correctly claims that babies under six months shouldn’t drink water [...] Correct: Babies under the age of six months receive adequate hydration and nutrition through breast milk or formula. They don’t need to drink water, and doing so can in fact lead to health complications such as electrolyte and nutritional imbalances. A Facebook reel posted on 13 June 2024 claimed that giving water to babies under the age of six months can result in health risks, including reduced nutrient intake and infections from contaminated water. It also noted that "too much water can cause low sodium levels, leading to brain swelling, seizures, and even death".


FULL CLAIM: Giving water to babies under six months can result in health risks including water intoxication, electrolyte imbalance, reduced nutrient intake, water contamination, and hyponatremia A Facebook reel posted on 13 June 2024 claimed that giving water to babies under the age of six months can result in health risks, including reduced nutrient intake and infections from contaminated water. It also noted that "too much water can cause low sodium levels, leading to brain swelling, seizures, and even death". [...] Infants’ delicate physiology and developing systems aren’t equipped to handle consuming water. Breast milk and formula fulfill all of a baby’s nutritional needs prior to the age of six months.


While water is necessary for adults, it's not so with infants. They get meet their fluids needs in other ways. David Berger, M.D. founder and owner of Wholistic Pediatrics & Family Care, and founder of Wholistic ReLeaf, says that drinking water even at 6 months of age, is not entirely necessary. "Babies get all of the fluid they need through breast milk or formula," he continues. So if your 6-month-old only has a sip of water at first, rest assured that breast milk and/or formula will be enough to stave off any thirst. Baby Feeding Chart: How Much Infants Eat in the First Year Why Shouldn't Babies Under 6 Months Drink Water? Giving infants water before 6 months can pose some risks. Most notably, if a baby "fills up" on water, it might impede their ability to receive adequate nutrients. "Giving water to them at this stage puts them at risk of consuming less breast milk or formula, thereby not receiving all the nutrients they provide," explains Dr. Johns. It's important to keep up with regular feedings of formula or breast milk so that babies can grow up healthily, with all the vitamins their body craves.


So that means that probably about half, maybe half of that nine-tenths of the degree [of total warming] might be caused by greenhouse gases

Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions [...] Greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. Human activities are responsible for almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years.1 The largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities in the United States is from burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation. [...] There are a wide variety of industrial activities that cause greenhouse gas emissions, and many opportunities to reduce them. The table shown below provides some examples of opportunities for industry to reduce emissions. For a more comprehensive list, see Chapter 11 of the Contribution of Working Group III to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 1


Water vapor is Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas. It’s responsible for about half of Earth’s greenhouse effect — the process that occurs when gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap the Sun’s heat. Greenhouse gases keep our planet livable. Without them, Earth’s surface temperature would be about 59 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius) colder. Water vapor is also a key part of Earth’s water cycle: the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth’s atmosphere, land, and ocean as liquid water, solid ice, and gaseous water vapor. [...] The greenhouse gases in the dry air in Earth’s atmosphere include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons. While making up around 0.05% of Earth’s total atmosphere, they play major roles in trapping Earth’s radiant heat from the Sun and keeping it from escaping into space. Each is driven directly by human activities. [...] Carbon dioxide is responsible for a third of the total warming of Earth’s climate due to human-produced greenhouse gases. Small increases in its concentration have major effects. A key reason is the length of time carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere.


Sea level rise could reach six or seven feet by the year 2100.

Continuing greenhouse gas emissions growth could result in a sea level rise of 0.5 meters (20 inches) to as much as 1 or 2 meters (3.3-6.6 feet) by the year 2100.


Global mean sea level rose rapidly following the last ice age approximately 20,000 years ago. However, the rate of sea level rise slowed and has been nearly stable over the last few thousand years. Since around 1900, global average sea level has risen by about 7-8 inches (Hayhoe et al. 2018, NCA4) and the rate of sea level rise has been accelerating in recent decades as ocean temperatures warm. Nearly half of this rise in sea levels has occurred since 1993, and the rate of global mean level rise since 1993 has been approximately 3.4 mm per year. It is virtually certain that global mean sea levels will continue to rise throughout the 21st century and beyond. [...] Projections in the relative sea level rise along the contiguous U.S. coastline range from 1.96 – 7.22 ft (0.6–2.2 m) by the year 2100 and 2.62 – 12.8 ft (0.8–3.9 m) by the year 2150, relative to sea levels in 2000. However, not all areas will experience the same amount, or rate, of sea level rise due to changes in local land and ocean heights.


Leprosy is a disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae. Most of the population is already immune to this infection due to natural immunity. It is a slowly progressing disease, with a low risk of transmission, that is curable with a six to twelve months multidrug therapies.


“Most of the victims of the Spanish flu didn’t die from the Spanish flu. They died from bacterial pneumonia. And the bacterial pneumonia was caused by [...] wearing masks”

Scientists announced Monday that they may have solved one of history's biggest biomedical mysteries—why the deadly 1918 "Spanish flu" pandemic, which killed perhaps 50 million people worldwide, largely targeted healthy young adults. (Related: "How Flu Viruses Attack.") [...] Instead, people aged 18 to 29 died in droves during the outbreak, which killed about 1 in 200 of victims. [...] The overall message of the study is a hopeful one, say the researchers, because the bacterial pneumonia secondary to the 1918 flu that killed most of its victims is treatable with modern antibiotics.


Bacterial Pneumonia Caused Most Deaths in 1918 Influenza Pandemic [...] The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs. [...] The work presents complementary lines of evidence from the fields of pathology and history of medicine to support this conclusion. "The weight of evidence we examined from both historical and modern analyses of the 1918 influenza pandemic favors a scenario in which viral damage followed by bacterial pneumonia led to the vast majority of deaths," says co-author NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. "In essence, the virus landed the first blow while bacteria delivered the knockout punch."


US: 30,000 Doctors say abortion is never medically necessary to save a mother's life Medical leaders representing more than 30,000 American doctors said intentionally killing an unborn baby in an abortion is never necessary to save a mother’s life. In a letter published at The Public Discourse, leaders of the American College of Paediatricians, American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and other medical groups explained their support of the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. [...] Abortion is never medically necessary under any circumstances. The medical leaders promoted perinatal hospice as a life-affirming, compassionate option for babies with life-limiting conditions, "Perinatal hospice provides optimal care for the mother, honours the life of her child and allows the family the opportunity to acknowledge, love, and mourn its newest member."

FULL CLAIM: Coronavirus contains 'HIV insertions', stoking fears over artificially created bioweapon The claim that the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) contains artificially-introduced insertions from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), thereby proving it is man-made, went viral on Facebook and other social media platforms like Twitter in early February 2020. One of the most viral of these articles appeared on websites known to publish misinformation in the past, such as ZeroHedge and Infowars, and was written by an anonymous person under the fictitious name of Tyler Durden. [...] Nevertheless, the paper’s findings have been used by many on social media as evidence to support the baseless assertion that 2019-nCoV is a man-made virus. The authors had reported finding "4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses". The authors further asserted that "all of [these inserts] have identity/similarity to amino acids residues in key structural proteins of HIV-1 [which] is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature".

“The clothing industry contributes up to 10% of the pollution driving the climate crisis.”

Globally, the fashion industry is estimated to contribute 3 - 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change, based on scientific studies and reports from the United Nations and charities. The clothing industry has a variety of other environmental impacts, including intensive water use, water pollution through dying and textile production, and pesticide and herbicide pollution through the agricultural production of cotton. Microplastics, which are shed primarily from synthetic textiles during washing, are also polluting the oceans, potentially negatively impacting human health and natural ecosystems.


The claim appeared in an Instagram post published by the clothing company Patagonia in late November 2020, and has received more than 502,000 views. Although the post does not indicate the source of the claim, scientific studies estimate that clothing contributes 3 to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change[1,2]. In addition, clothing production and use causes water pollution, pesticide pollution, and the release of microplastics into the ocean that can negatively impact human health and natural ecosystems[3-5]. [...] Overall the claim, "the clothing industry contributes up to 10% of the pollution driving the climate crisis" is accurate, as it falls within 1 to 10% range of estimates for GHG emissions in scientific studies and organization reports. In addition, clothing production and consumption can be an energy- and water-intensive process that causes water pollution, microplastic release, and human health impacts. [...] The claim [that the fashion contributes] up to 10% [of pollution driving the climate crisis] is not very far from the United Nations’ research estimate, which is 8%.

“Fauci frankensteined Covid bats on our soil a year before the pandemic, but then acted all shocked when the virus started spreading” ; Fauci’s goons went to the Wuhan lab, bottled up a virus and brought it to a lab in America”

Paul has posited that Fauci, among others, "could be culpable for the entire pandemic," if the SARS-CoV-2 virus leaked from a Wuhan lab that was conducting gain-of-function research. But there is no proof of a lab leak, and there is evidence that the bat coronaviruses studied under the NIH grant could not have caused the pandemic. See, "The Wuhan Lab and the Gain-of-Function Disagreement," May 21, 2021, and "Fauci and Paul, Round 2," July 22, 2021 [...] See, "Old Photo Shows Obama, Fauci at U.S. Facility — Not ‘Wuhan Lab,'"July 17, 2020


An article in the Daily Mail quotes the president and founder of WCW, Anthony Bellotti, as saying: "Our investigation has uncovered the real-life horror story of how a shady roadside zoo whose curator was an NIH animal experimenter shipped off bats to a deadly government virus lab overseen by Dr. Fauci to be infected with a coronavirus obtained directly from the Wuhan lab that experts believe caused COVID." [...] According to fact checkers at healthfeedback.org, Fox News’s Jesse Watters, who took over the primetime slot formerly occupied by Tucker Carlson, also began making claims about the work done on pathogens by NIAID at Rocky Mountain Laboratory (RML) based on inaccurate or unsubstantiated assumptions in his November 1, 2023 primetime show. Watters posted an excerpt on his Facebook page in which he claimed "Fauci frankensteined Covid bats on our soil a year before the pandemic, but then acted all shocked when the virus started spreading" and calls for "Fauci and everybody up in Montana" to be locked up and refers to the WCW Project’s "expose" which cited as supporting evidence a study from 2018 by Van Doremalen et al. [...] Watters also stated, "In 2018, Fauci’s goons went to the Wuhan lab, bottled up a virus and brought it to a lab in America" and "grabbed a dozen Egyptian fruit bats, threw them in the back of a van."


- FOX NEWS- repeating Pres. Biden’s cognitive screw ups day after day like ‘GROUND HOG DAY!’ but never getting it RIGHT until both FOX NEWS Personalities & Viewers alike are BATTY as BATS in the BELFRY!!!!!!! Actual REAL LIFE BATS are Enjoyable to observe in erratic flight, BLESSED WITH IMMUNE SYSTEMS more ABLE to BEAT BACK VIRUSES like COVID! By our reckless bull in a china tea shop self centered behavior- imagining we are MASTERS over MOTHER NATURE, modern society ENABLES ZOONOTICS- VIRUSES jumping from other LIFE FORMS to We HUMAN LIFE FORMS!!! The current outbreak theory is that the biological research lab. in Wuhan created a deadly virulent gain of function. BATTY COVID specifically designed to infect & terribly sicken we humans! Conspiracy theorists claim Pres. Obama banned GAIN of FUNCTION research in America circa 2014 so Fauci’s Associates funded research in China’s viral Lab! Other conspiracy theorists argue COVID was released circa China’s World Military Games in Oct- Nov. 2019? China acted by a HARD INTERNAL LOCK DOWN while enabling international travel & covering up the Plague’s virulence damning our World!!!!


“the COVID vaccines have killed millions of people worldwide, an estimated 1 death per 1,000 doses on average in a standard population”

FULL CLAIM: "Data from the New Zealand Ministry of Health shows that the COVID vaccines have killed over 10 million worldwide"; "the COVID vaccines have killed millions of people worldwide, an estimated 1 death per 1,000 doses on average in a standard population" On 30 November 2023, entrepreneur Steve Kirsch gave a talk at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claiming that New Zealand data showed COVID-19 vaccines have "killed over 10 million worldwide". Kirsch, who had been invited to speak by the student group MIT Students for Open Inquiry, has a record of propagating vaccine misinformation. As documented in previous reviews by Health Feedback, Kirsch’s claims frequently rely on methodologically flawed analyses. [...] He concluded that COVID-19 vaccines were responsible for millions of deaths based on the fact that his analysis showed deaths rose in the first six months after vaccination in those aged 60 and above. The same trend was also seen in an overall analysis for all ages (shown in slides 136 to 140).


Unapproved genetically modified organisms in the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines could permanently change our DNA

FULL CLAIM: "Australian GP sues Pfizer and Moderna over unapproved GMOs in mRNA Covid vaccines. Dr Julian Fidge is seeking an injunction to stop the distribution of the mRNA Covid vaccines. But the human genome could already be permanently altered."; "In tests conducted on the mRNA monovalents and bivalents, genomics expert Kevin McKernan found dangerously excessive levels of DNA contamination" In November 2023, Gentry Gevers, host of the Break Away USA podcast, posted a screenshot of a tweet by journalist Rebekah Barnett on Instagram that read "Australian GP sues Pfizer and Moderna over unapproved GMOs in mRNA Covid vaccines". It also claimed "the human genome could already be permanently altered". [...] COVID-19 mRNA vaccines don’t contain organisms. As such, the claim that they contain "unapproved GMOs" is inaccurate. One example of a COVID-19 vaccine that does contain a GMO and is regulated as such is the AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine, as it uses a modified adenovirus vector to deliver the genetic material of the spike protein into cells.


No signs of DNA mutation or COVID-19 vaccine-induced cancer have been reported to date for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. This refutes claims made on September 12, 2023 during a Pandemic Preparedness Listening Session hosted by the Senate Medical Affairs. During the session, the Committee heard remarks pertaining to the Pfizer-BioNTech messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine, incorrectly stating that the vaccine could potentially impact a person’s DNA and be a theoretical cancer risk. There is no evidence to support these claims. [...] - Does an mRNA vaccine change your DNA? No, mRNA vaccines do not alter your DNA. In fact, they don’t interact directly with your DNA at all.9 - Did the FDA unauthorize the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine?


COVID-19 mRNA vaccines aren’t vaccines, according to court ruling

Vaccines stimulate immunity to infectious diseases with the purpose of reducing the risk of disease transmission, severe illness, and death. By this measure, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are indeed vaccines. Evidence from clinical trials and real-world data show that they reduce the risk of infection, serious illness, and death from COVID-19.


Vaccines contain unhealthy levels of aluminum; Japan’s elimination of vaccines has reduced infant mortality

Research has also shown the levels of aluminum found in vaccines are so low that they can't easily be absorbed by the body, let alone the brain. There has been no evidence of vaccines being the cause of illness of developmental disorders. [...] A year-old video being reshared on Instagram claims that aluminum nanoparticles in vaccines cause a variety of illnesses and developmental disorders. The caption implies the COVID-19 vaccines also contain aluminum and contribute to health issues. Although several vaccines do contain a miniscule amount of aluminum, research has found it’s not enough to be absorbed by the body. Humans already ingest amounts of aluminum just by living their everyday lives as it can be found in food, water and the air.
