An Inconvenient Study a movie by Del Bigtree on vaccine safetey
[News With Views] "An Inconvenient Study" is a compelling documentary comparing the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children. It offers valuable insights for parents making informed decisions about their child’s health. I highly recommend watching it. [Link: https://share.google/91hX1YPMiNCkWlBLR]

As the documentary runs for 1 hour and 20 minutes, this opinion piece provides a brief summary of key points. However, the full film covers much more, so please watch it for a comprehensive understanding.

The U.S. is among the most vaccinated industrialized nations, yet it has some of the highest rates of chronic illness in children and elevated child mortality compared to other developed countries. In 1988, approximately 12.8% of U.S. children had chronic illnesses; today, that figure is estimated at 54%, marking the greatest decline in human health ever recorded.

Del Bigtree, producer of Vaxxed, commissioned Dr. Marcus Zervos, a respected researcher from the Henry Ford Medical Center, known for his work on the Flint, Michigan water crisis, to conduct a comprehensive study comparing the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children. The Henry Ford Medical Center is widely recognized for its rigorous scientific research. Dr. Zervos, a strong advocate for mandatory vaccination, agreed to the study, confident it would demonstrate better health outcomes for vaccinated children. He pledged to publish the results regardless of the findings. However, the study’s outcomes were unexpected and contrary to his expectations. Dr. Zervos ultimately declined to publish, citing fear of career repercussions, stating he lacked the courage of other doctors who faced professional consequences such as loss of licensure for challenging mainstream vaccination narratives.

Since 1986, pharmaceutical companies have been granted legal immunity from lawsuits related to vaccine injuries, reducing their incentive to invest in thorough vaccine safety research. No childhood vaccine has been subjected to a double-blind, placebo-controlled study using a saline placebo, the gold standard for independent, unbiased research. Instead, vaccine studies often involve scientists with ties to the pharmaceutical companies producing the vaccines, raising concerns about impartiality and safety. Furthermore, these studies typically compare a new vaccine to an existing vaccine rather than a saline placebo, which fails to provide a true assessment of safety.

In a nutshell, the research by Dr. Marcus revealed the truth that vaccines are making children sicker. Vaccinated children have a worse quality of life and shorter life span. Unvaccinated children are healthier.

If this documentary does not convince, Steve Kirsch posted on his Substack ten additional studies that show that unvaccinated children are healthier. He wrote:

"There are 10 studies below. The one by James Lyons-Weiler is a great study, but the journal unethically retracted it. The rest are still in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. There aren’t any other vaxxed/unvaxxed studies. 100% show you are better off not vaccinating your kids."

Europe
VDH - Cry the Beloved Europe?
[Townhall] Nothing bothers the European elite as much as American conservatives praising the European foundations of their shared, but threatened, Western civilization.

Europeans especially resent having their social-welfare state system critiqued by upstart, crass Americans.

Their pique only increases as they push back against the condescending American idea that the U.S. could offer any constructive advice, much less help a more civilized Europe follow the "American model."

Americans, in turn, are worried that Europe is not just stagnating but is on a trajectory of permanent decline -- with dire consequences for the entire Western world.

As for symptoms, the U.S. cites a steadily declining European share of world GDP. It points to Europe's unsustainable 1.39 fertility rate, which ensures a steadily smaller, older, and costlier native population.

More than 10 percent of Europe's resident population is now foreign-born -- some 45 million people. However, the European host, unlike a classless America, does not have a long tradition of melting-pot assimilation, integration, and acculturation.

Unlike America's mostly Christian-nation immigration patterns, European immigrants are predominantly from the Middle East and North Africa, Islamic, and increasingly anti-Western.

Far too many of Europe's immigrants profess too little desire to assimilate into what they consider a culturally decadent place -- one that, ironically, they have no desire to leave.

The Christian Church, the linchpin of Western civilization, was born in Europe. Yet nowhere do atheism, agnosticism, and open hostility to Christendom grow stronger.

#1  Like the split of the old Roman Empire into East and West. The west fell to the Gothic invasions. The East would linger for several hundred years longer. Our ancestors will probably look back upon our efforts in the 20th century to save old Europe as many historians looks at Justinian's exhaustion of the East trying to recover the old Western Empire.

#2  That's a good analogy, P2K. If you really want to get depressed read Eagle in the Snow, a novel by Wallace Breem.

Some Europeans seem to have formed the idea that one can have "soft power" independent of military power. Strongly worded letters and economic sanctions have their utility, but dropping a JDAM on the bad guy's head really gets the point across.

#3  Trump has shattered the European liberal illusion
This strategy is nothing less than a funeral bell for the post-Cold War fantasy world created by globalists, technocrats, and the architects of endless intervention. Trump accepts what the previous political class refused to face: We now live in a multipolar, post-liberal age. Woke ideology has failed. Nations are back. Identity matters. Borders matter. Sovereignty matters.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
PM meets with security cabinet amid fears of renewed Israeli operation in Lebanon; US warned Leb Israel will strike if Hezbollah does not hand over drones, missiles by before new year
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convenes his security cabinet in Jerusalem, as doubts emerge about the future disarmament of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Outgoing Mossad chief David Barnes and the nominee for his replacement, Military Secretary Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman both attend, as does interim Shin Bet director Gil Reich.

Netanyahu will meet later this month with US President Donald Trump, who is pushing for Israel to move to phase 2 of his plan for Gaza.

Report: US warned Lebanon that IDF will strike if Hezbollah doesn’t hand over drones, missiles by year’s end
[IsraelTimes] US envoy Morgan Ortagus told top Lebanese officials that Israel will carry out “major and decisive strikes” against Hezbollah in Beirut’s southern suburbs and in the Beqaa Valley if the terror group fails to hand over its drones and precision missiles by January 1, the Lebanese Al-Akhbar daily reports, citing European diplomatic sources.

The Donald Trump administration has been pushing the Lebanese government to disarm by the end of the year, while the Lebanese army presented a plan to Lebanon’s government that would see southern Lebanon free of Hezbollah weapons by January 1, and the rest of the country in subsequent phases.

Hezbollah has consistently said that it will not disarm.

US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa said yesterday that Israel’s decision to engage in direct talks with Lebanese officials last week does not preclude an operation against Hezbollah: “Just because the negotiations have begun does not mean that Israel will stop its operations. The Israelis see these two matters as completely separate. The talks are being held with the Lebanese government, while their war is directed against Hezbollah.”

He stressed that they are “two distinct issues.”

Sources tell the outlet the US envoy Tom Barrack has been pushing a proposal for a joint economic zone along the border, which would help separate the Shiite population of southern Lebanon from Hezbollah.

Facebook Reel: Former IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus
Only Egypt has the guts to fight Hamas in Gaza, he said. But while they defeated the Muslim Brotherhood at home, they were fine with smuggling weapons to Hamas in Gaza.
