The CDC website shows that as of 10 May, 4,434 COVID vaccine-related deaths have been reported to the VAERS database. That number is higher than all vaccine-related deaths recorded in VAERS over the last 21 years. The CDC also has information including an admission of “plausible” connection regarding blood clot issues and the Johnson &...

The push for “Vaccine Passports” continues, even as many people are opting not to get the COVID vaccines. Over the weekend, the BBC reported on comments by the chief executive of Dubai International Airport (DXB), the world’s busiest hub, insisting “I don’t think there is an alternative.” Paul Griffiths, who oversees operations at DXB, told...

On 2 April, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order preventing any entity in the state from requiring proof of vaccination. He stated at that time: “It’s completely unacceptable for either the government or private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine.” This was a clear repudiation of...

Last week, the Trends Journal reported how states are offering cash, booze, and cars to motivate Americans to get vaccinated. (See our article, “GET JABBED, GET PAID.”)  Upping the incentive significantly, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced last Thursday that his state’s lottery would give away $1 million to five people who participate in the new...

The commercial begins with movie director Spike Lee sitting on the steps of a Brooklyn brownstone with the words “Vaccinate the Block” written in white in the center of the screen. It cuts to Lee, who is wearing a mask, walking past other masked residents sitting on stoops engaged in conversation. “This is our block,...

Back in January, Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines, made headlines when he announced his intention to force all employees to get vaccinated as a requirement for work.

According to the classic American West tune, “Home on the Range” is where “seldom is heard a discouraging word.” But in the small, African island country of the Republic of Seychelles, “herd immunity” is a “discouraging” phrase. The Republic of Seychelles has the distinction of having the highest vaccination rate in the world. About 85...

Concerned that not enough Americans are lining up to get jabbed, new incentives are being suggested: cash payments and the loosening of mask and social-distancing edicts. Confirming that the flood of “reassuring public service announcements about the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness” has not been working to the level anticipated, The New York Times reported on...

Frustrated that the slowing down of vaccination rates might undercut his promise to get at least 70 percent of Americans vaccinated by the Fourth of July, President Biden last Wednesday delivered a speech from the White House in which he told Americans: “This is your choice. It’s life and death.” Adding to Biden’s portrayal of...

As with mask mandates, social distancing, and the fear of touching objects “contaminated” with the virus, the health “experts” keep moving the goalposts without any empirical data to back them up.  The dream scenario now being pumped out with no clear agreement on the data is “herd immunity”: the idea that once enough people are...
