Did Spanish scientists discover alien DNA in the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Scientists Discovered Alien DNA In mRNA Vaccines!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that the Trudeau administration planning to ban Christianity in Canada!
Scientists Discover ‘Alien DNA’ Hidden in Blood of Vaccinated People
Scientists at an elite research unit in Spain have made a series of startling discoveries regarding the Pfizer Covid mRNA vaccine, including the disturbing fact that when placed in a reptile incubator at body temperature for 48 hours, new life forms, including heads and legs, appear to hatch in the mRNA solution.
Have the elite smuggled alien reptile DNA into the mass-produced vaccines to be pumped into the willing bodies of the compliant masses?
This may sound like bad science fiction on the surface, but when you dig a little deeper and learn about the patents over the human body taken out by Bill Gates and the global elite just before the pandemic, then what sounded like bad science fiction suddenly looks like a living nightmare for the vaccinated.
Ricardo Delgado at Project La Quinta in Spain is one of the rare examples of a scientist who has not sold his soul to the almighty dollar and is not beholden to the globalist elite. He and his team had previously made important breakthroughs in researching the experimental mRNA vaccines, finding graphene and nanotechnology in the mRNA product.
But the results from their latest experiment are potentially the most disturbing finding yet. After placing two drops of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in a reptile incubator under UV light at 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit for 48 hours, something very strange began to take place.
As Delgado explains, “Formations appeared apparently as if something hatched.”
Analysing the results under the microscope at a scale of 30 microns, researchers could see “heads and legs” emerging from what appeared to be hatching eggs.
Delgado and his team have vowed to continue investigating and they are urging others to replicate the experiment because one thing is for sure. We have not been told the truth about these vaccines.
Truth : Scientists Did Not Discover Alien DNA In mRNA Vaccines!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : They Are Old Claims From 2021/2022
Let me start by pointing out that The People’s Voice did not provide any link to shocking study by Ricardo Delgado from Project La Quinta in Spain. However, we know this isn’t new, because the Project La Quinta report only has two reports on the mRNA vaccines.
an interim report that Professor Dr. Campra Madrid issued on 28 June 2021, while the final report was issued on 2 November 2021.
a report by Ricardo Delgado Martín posted on 14 January 2022.
So why is The People’s Voice promoting a story that appears to be more than 2 years old??? Why didn’t it point out that this is a really old story???
Fact #2 : Reports Said Nothing About Alien DNA / Eggs
The People’s Voice article claimed that Ricardo Delgado and his team found alien DNA hidden in the blood of vaccinated people and/or eggs hatching when the Pfizer mRNA vaccine is placed in a reptile incubator.
That’s utter nonsense, because both reports did not mention anything about alien DNA and/or eggs hatching. They only claimed to have found graphene and/or possible microtechnology in the Pfizer vaccine.
To be clear – there is no evidence the Pfizer mRNA vaccine contains alien DNA or eggs of any kind, unless they were somehow introduced as contaminants, or sabotage.
In fact, neither Ricardo Delgado Martin, not Professor Dr. Pablo Campra Madrid, found alien DNA in the blood of vaccinated people, or alien or reptilian eggs hatching in the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
They appeared to have only performed optical microscopy of what they claimed were Pfizer mRNA vaccine samples, with or without a Raman spectrometer. Such methods cannot prove the existence of graphene oxide, alien DNA, or alien eggs.
Even Campra Madrid himself acknowledged in his report that the “microscope doesn’t provide conclusive evidence” and that the analysis was based on “a single, limited sample” of unknown origin and traceability.
The People’s Voice article claimed that “scientists at an elite research unit in Spain” made the discovery. Well, it appears to be only one scientist – Pablo Campra Madrid, a professor of the University of Almería (UAL).
However, Campra Madrid stated that the report was not issued on behalf of the University of Almería (UAL) – in Page 23 of the interim report. Fortunately too, because his university disavowed his report.
On 2 July 2021 – more than 2.5 years ago! – the University of Almería issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter), describing it as an “unofficial report by a university professor about an analysis of a sample of unknown origin with a total lack of traceability“. It also said that it was a “report that this university neither subscribes to nor shares, as the report itself warns.”
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Olivia Munn get turbo breast cancer from the COVID-19 vaccine?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Olivia Munn Got Turbo Breast Cancer From COVID-19 Vaccine!
Right after news broke that Olivia Munn revealed that she underwent four surgeries including a double mastectomy, some people immediately claimed or suggested that she suffered turbo breast cancer from the COVID-19 vaccine!
Erin Elizabeth Health Nut News : Celebrity and curvy bikini model, Olivia Munn , announced she had a double mastectomy after she was diagnosed with breast cancer just months ago after all of her Covid shots.
We see this so much and it’s so prevalent. #TurboCancer. You think Benadryl and Prozac are bad? Try the jabs
Caroline : Olivia Munn just had a double mastectomy due to an aggressive form of breast cancer. She was also a big advocate for the COVID vaccine.
Doctors and researchers who were censored and silenced during the pandemic warned us this might happen.
Mama45 : Olivia Munn reveals breast cancer diagnosis, underwent double mastectomy – Cancers are up 400% since the roll out of the vaccines. Just so you know.
The All American : Actress Olivia Munn has revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year – having undergone four surgeries in the last 10 months. She is also Pfizer vaccine advocate and recipient. Are you awake yet? The vaccine kills. #VaccineGenocide #vaccineinjuries
Truth : Olivia Munn Did Not Get Turbo Breast Cancer From COVID-19 Vaccine!
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Olivia Munn Was Diagnosed With Luminal B Breast Cancer
Let me start by with a recap of what led to Olivia Munn being diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer.
On 13 March 2024, Olivia Munn posted on Instagram that she was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer, and shared what happened. Here’s a quick summary:
In February 2023, she took a genetic test to check for 90 different cancer genes, including BRCA – the most well-known breast cancer gene. She tested negative, and so did her sister, Sara.
In the winter of 2023, she had a mammogram, which did not find anything.
Her OBGYN Dr. Thais Aliabadi decided to calculate her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score, which turned out to be 37%.
She was sent to get an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, and then a biopsy.
The biopsy showed that she had Luminal B breast cancer in both breasts. This was 2 months after her mammogram came back normal.
30 days after her biopsy, she had a double mastectomy.
For those who want to read her full statement, here it is:
In February of 2023, in an effort to be proactive about my health, I took a genetic test that checks you for 90 different cancer genes. I tested negative for all, including BRCA (the most well-known breast cancer gene). My sister Sara had just tested negative as well. We called each other and high-fived over the phone. That same winter I also had a normal mammogram.
Two months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can’t even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined…
I wouldn’t have found my cancer for another year – at my next scheduled mammogram – except that my OBGYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, decided to calculate my Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score.
The fact that she did saved my life.
Dr. Aliabadi looked at factors like my age, familial breast cancer history, and the fact that I had my first child after the age of 30.
She discovered my lifetime risk was at 37%.
Because of that score I was sent to get an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, which then led to a biopsy.
The biopsy showed I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast moving cancer.
30 days after that biopsy I had a double mastectomy.
I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next.
I’m lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options.
I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day.
Ask your doctor to calculate your Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. Dr. Aliabadi says that If the number is greater than 20%, you need annual mammograms and breast MRIs starting at age 30.
That short gap of 2 months between her negative mammogram and her breast cancer diagnosis led to claims that it was turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccines. I will show you why that’s just not true.
Fact #2 : Mammograms Screening Isn’t 100% Accurate
Just because Olivia Munn had a “normal” mammogram two months before her breast cancer diagnosis, it doesn’t mean she didn’t actually have breast cancer by then. Olivia Munn’s breast cancer was likely missed by her mammogram.
According to the US Cancer Institute, mammogram screening will miss about 20% of breast cancers that are present at the time of screening, but that can be as high as 30% (source). Such false-negative results are more common in younger women (like Olivia Munn) with denser breasts, or when the tumour is small.
That is likely why her doctor decided to assess her breast cancer risk, and send her for an MRI and then, an ultrasound. In fact, Olivia Munn shared her story so that women are aware of the need to conduct their own Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. As her doctor advised, those whose scores exceed 20% will need “annual mammograms and breast MRIs starting at age 30“.
Fact #3 : Luminal B Breast Cancer Is More Aggressive
Luminal B breast cancer is estrogen receptor-positive, and HER2-negative. About 15%-20% of breast cancers are of the Luminal B type, and they tend to appear in younger women (like Olivia Munn).
As Olivia Munn shared, “Luminal B is an aggressive, fast moving cancer“. Since her Luminal B breast cancer was missed on mammogram, and it took an MRI and an ultrasound to detect it, it was likely in the early-stage.
Luminal B breast cancer can be treated with chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and if small enough, with a lumpectomy. However, Luminal B breast cancer has a high recurrence rate, so she likely underwent the double mastectomy to eliminate the risk of a future recurrence.
I should also point out that there is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and there is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cancer, or make cancer go “turbo”.
What Olivia Munn described are normal characteristics of Luminal B breast cancer. There is nothing to suggest that her breast cancer went “turbo” after she received her COVID-19 vaccination sometime in 2021. There isn’t even a plausible correlation (never causation) between her breast cancer diagnosis in early 2024, to her COVID-19 vaccination some three years ago!
Needless to say, anti-vaccine activists provide no evidence to back their claims that vaccinated people are dying from turbo cancer. Ironically, they even accused unvaccinated people (and fellow anti-vaxxers) like Kirstie Alley of dying from turbo cancer!

Is Swedish footballer Kristoffer Olsson fighting for his life in the hospital after suffering a COVID-19 vaccine injury?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2024-03-14 : Added Kristoffer Olsson’s diagnosis, and COVID-19 vaccination. Originally posted @ 2024-02-28
Claim : Kristoffer Olsson Is Fighting For His Life After Vaccine Injury!
Right after news broke that Kristoffer Olsson was placed on a ventilator in hospital, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the Swedish footballer suffered a COVID-19 vaccine injury!
The People’s Voice : Sweden’s Top Soccer Player Fighting for His Life Following COVID Shot
Sweden’s top professor [sic] soccer player Kristoffer Olsson is fighting for his life in hospital just weeks after getting a COVID vaccine.
B. Almindelig (translated) : Swedish national team player Kristoffer Olsson put on ventilator Bloody covid vaccine
Hanna Polansla : Swedens Top Soccer Player Fighting for His Life Following COVID Shot
Luzesperanzayvida ن 🇨🇴 (translated) : Kristoffer Olsson completed the “Covid vaccination” (what’s the mark?) and had a sudden illness that has him on a respirator.
No Evidence Kristoffer Olsson Is Fighting For His Life From Vaccine Injury!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on social media platforms like Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Kristoffer Olsson Has An Acute Brain Disease
Let me start by simply pointing out that FC Midtjylland posted a statement on Tuesday, 27 February 2024, stating that Kristoffer Olsson suffered an acute brain disease.
According to FC Midtjylland, the 28 year-old Swedish national team player lost consciousness at his home on Tuesday, 20 February – a week earlier. He was taken to the Aarhus University Hospital, where he was hospitalised and placed on a ventilator.
FC Midtjylland stated that Kristoffer Olsson has “an apparently acute disease related to the brain, which is not due to self-harm of any kind, nor is the cause due to external factors“.
That clearly rules out suicide, a drug overdose, or COVID-19 vaccine injury. It is possible that Kristoffer Olsson may have suffered a stroke, although the statement suggests that doctors have not made a diagnosis.
Announcement about Kristoffer Olsson
Against the background of the increasing rumors and conjectures that are pending about the reason for Kristoffer Olsson’s absence in the recent period, we feel compelled to go out with this announcement to the public.
The 28-year-old Swedish national team player lost consciousness at his home on Tuesday 20 February and was transferred to Aarhus University Hospital, where he is hospitalized and on a ventilator.
Kristoffer Olsson is affected by an apparently acute disease related to the brain, which is not due to self-harm of any kind, nor is the cause due to external factors.
A team of Denmark’s leading medical experts is currently working at high pressure to make a diagnosis and initiate the right treatment.
Since admission, Kristoffer has been surrounded by his immediate family and parts of FC Midtjylland’s staff, and is being treated by specialists in the field.
FC Midtjylland urgently requests the public to show respect and understanding, so that Kristoffer, the family and the doctors get the necessary peace of mind to ensure Kristoffer’s recovery and recovery as well as possible.
Everyone at FC Midtjylland is of course deeply affected by Kristoffer’s sudden illness and our thoughts and full support go out to Kristoffer and his family.
FC Midtjylland has no further statements at present, but we will inform the public when significant new information arises.
To be clear – there is no evidence that Kristoffer Olsson has suffered a vaccine injury of any kind. His football club made no such suggestion, and has clearly stated that his brain disease was not due to any “external factors”.
Not surprisingly, people have offered no evidence to back up their claims that Kristoffer Olsson suffered a COVID-19 vaccine injury.
If his doctors, family, and team, never said that Kristoffer Olsson was injured by the COVID-19 vaccine, why should you believe random strangers on the Internet who make such baseless claims???
Fact #2 : Kristoffer Olsson Was Diagnosed With Vasculitis
On 7 March, FC Midtjylland issued another statement, which revealed that Kristoffer Olsson had “an extremely rare inflammatory condition in the vessels of the brain“, which led to “several small blood clots on both sides of the brain“.
The status of Kristoffer Olsson, who has now been given a definitive diagnosis.
Based on the extensive examinations, scans and tests of recent weeks, the doctors can now determine that Kristoffer is affected by several small blood clots on both sides of the brain, as a result of an extremely rare inflammatory condition in the vessels of the brain. The diagnosis matches the thesis on which the medical specialists have so far worked and treated Kristoffer.
Kristoffers Olsson’s condition is now assessed as stable, and the doctors continue to see little progress. At the same time, they find that Kristoffer has an increasing degree of consciousness.
In the coming period, the doctors will slowly try to wean the Swedish midfielder off the ventilator, but he remains hospitalized in intensive care, just as it is still uncertain to say anything about the time horizon of the treatment and the final prognosis.
Although the statement does not reveal the “rare inflammatory condition” Kristoffer Olsson was diagnosed with, it likely refers to a type of central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis, which is an extremely rare disease that affects fewer than 3 in 1 million people.
If the blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) is limited to the brain and spinal cord, and in the absence of bacterial or viral infection, or systemic autoimmune diseases like SLE, then it would be classified as primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS).
There is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can trigger CNS vasculitis. In fact, if COVID-19 vaccines can cause CNS vasculitis, there would have been millions of cases of this extremely rare disease.
Fact #2 : Kristoffer Olsson Was Likely Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Kristoffer Olsson never revealed his COVID-19 vaccination status, but he was likely fully-vaccinated by September 2021. However, there is no evidence he just received another COVID-19 vaccine dose “weeks ago”
Kristoffer Olsson joined RSC Anderlecht on 21 July 2021, as part of Team A. On 16 September 2021, RSC Anderlecht announced that its entire Team A was vaccinated against COVID-19. So it is likely that Kristoffer Olsson was vaccinated by that date.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even though Kristoffer Olsson was likely fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his COVID-19 vaccine more than 2.5 years ago! He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not years later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination. Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did Japanese wrestler Yutaka Yoshie die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine, right after an All Japan Pro Wrestling match?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Yutaka Yoshie Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!
Right after news broke that Yutaka Yoshie died suddenly after a wrestling match, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the Japanese professional wrestler was somehow killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!
みらいのミライ : Professional wrestler Yutaka Yoshie has died at the age of 50. The cause of death is “arteriosclerosis”, and many people develop it due to the aftereffects of the corona vaccine. The corona vaccine contains highly toxic “graphene oxide” and “mercury”.
He is coming : **The Jab is surely not responsible, is it?** Pro wrestling star Yutaka Yoshie dead at 50 after match
Slay News : Pro Wrestler Yutaka Yoshie Drops Dead in Locker Room
Japanese pro wrestler Yutaka Yoshie has dropped dead in the locker room immediately after a match, according to reports. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead.
The cause of Yoshie’s death has not been revealed. Yoshie’s death comes amid soaring reports of people dying suddenly and mysteriously.
Growing numbers of young healthy people are now dying in mysterious circumstances or from causes that were once unheard of.
As Slay News reported earlier, a prominent doctor has died suddenly at just 43 years old. Dr. Vicky Jennings, from South Africa, was an internationally recognized trauma surgeon who used social media to pressure the public into taking Covid mRNA vaccines.
Truth : Yutaka Yoshie Did Not Die Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Yutaka Yoshie Died After AJPW Match
Let me start by giving you a summary of what led to Yutaka Yoshie’s sudden death on Sunday, 10 March 2024.
Earlier that day, Yutaka Yoshie participated in an All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) match, with Ryo Inoue against Hokuto Omori and Ryoji Sai. After the match, he went backstage for a press interview, before returning to the locker room where he suddenly collapsed.
Yutaka Yoshie was rushed to a nearby hospital in Takasaki, where he was declared dead at the age of 50. His death was announced by AJPW (translated):
Notice of the passing of Yutaka Yoshie
Yutaka Yoshie, who was participating in the Takasaki tournament held today, passed away on March 10, 2024.
After Yutaka Yoshie returned to the waiting room after the game, his condition suddenly deteriorated and he was rushed to a hospital in Takasaki City, but he never returned home.
We would like to remember Yutaka Yoshie’s achievements during his lifetime and pray for his soul to rest in peace.
Fact #2 : Yutaka Yoshie Died From Arteriosclerosis
On 11 March 2024, Tokyo Sports reported that APJW Senior Managing Executive Officer Suwama revealed in an interview that Yutaka Yoshie’s cause of death was “due to arteriosclerosis“.
All the players are in shock. Professional wrestlers are in a profession where you never know what’s going to happen, but now that the timing has come…
According to Suwama, it was Yutaka Yoshie’s family who informed him that the cause of death was “due to arteriosclerosis“, and told him that “it was not caused by a professional wrestling match, so please don’t worry about it“.
Arteriosclerosis can lead to a heart attack, or a stroke – both of which can lead to Yutaka Yoshie suddenly collapsing in the locker room.
Fact #3 : Arteriosclerosis Takes Many Years To Develop
Arteriosclerosis is a vascular disorder characterised by the abnormal thickening and hardening of the arteries, causing a loss of elasticity of arterial walls.
This is a gradual process that takes many years, and can begin as early as childhood! In fact, many people with arteriosclerosis are unaware they have it because they do not have symptoms until the hardened arteries lead to complications.
To be clear – there is no evidence any COVID-19 vaccine can cause arteriosclerosis, which takes many years to develop.
Fact #4 : COVID-19 Vaccines Reduce Risk In CVD Patients
People with cardiovascular disease tend to have poorer prognosis and more severe cardiovascular side effects when they contract COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines help these patients reduce their mortality and morbidity, as shown in a May 2023 study published in the Journal of Lipid and Atherosclerosis.
As discussed above, increased risks of CVD and non-CVD complications are observed in COVID-19 patients with a history of CVD.
Ye et al. conducted a self-controlled case-series study to compare the risk of major cardiovascular events before and after BNT and CoronaVac vaccination. They found that both mRNA and inactivated viral vaccines did not increase CVD risk and actually reduced the risks in specific periods.
The findings remained consistent in different subgroups of sex, age, and underlying CVD (including coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease).
… this implies that for CVD patients, the benefits of vaccination outweigh its side effects.
In short – COVID-19 vaccines do not increase the risk in people with cardiovascular disease, and actually reduce their risk.

Find out why Dr. Vicky Jennings – a fully-vaccinated trauma surgeon, did not die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine!
Claim : Dr. Vicky Jennings Died Suddenly From Vaccine Heart Attack!
Right after news broke that Dr. Vicky Jennings died suddenly, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the South African trauma surgeon suffered a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!
Erin Elizabeth Health Nut News : Vicki was a trauma surgeon & bikini model who mocked “anti vaxxers” liked us. She was extremely young and reportedly healthy when she #DiedSuddenly of a reported #HeartAttack
The People’s Voice : A doctor and trauma surgeon who mocked the unvaccinated on social media, attempting to frame anyone who rejected the vaccine as a conspiracy theorist, had died suddenly.
Dr. Vicky Jennings died after suffering a heart attack, her family revealed.
William Makis MD : DOCTOR DEAD, South Africa – Dr.Vicky Jennings, a trauma surgeon, died unexpectedly on Mar.3, 2024.
“VAXXED. Waiting to grow my unicorn horn now and maybe Bill Gates can start tracking my fascinating life”

TheTexasOne : A prominent doctor, who used social media to pressure the public into taking Covid mRNA vaccines, has died suddenly at just 43 years old, according to reports. Dr. Vicky Jennings, from South Africa, was an internationally recognized trauma surgeon. The mother of two passed away unexpectedly last week after reportedly suffering a fatal heart attack. Jennings’ death was announced by Netcare, the healthcare company that she worked for. “Dr. Jennings, Clinical Head of Trauma Surgery at Netcare Milpark Hospital, was the personification of selfless, caring, and dedicated service,” said Dr. Richard Friedland, the CEO of Netcare.

A prominent doctor, who used social media to pressure the public into taking Covid mRNA vaccines, has died suddenly at just 43 years old, according to reports.
According to an entry on Facebook, Jennings, the mother of two young children, had a heart attack
While there has been no official explanation of why a young doctor would drop dead suddenly, many have been pointing to her past social media posts as an indication of what led to her heart attack.
Jennings often posted pro-vaccine propaganda that urged people to take Covid mRNA injections.
According to Jennings, raising concerns about the safety of the shots is “deadly” and considered “disinformation.”
Truth : Dr. Vicky Jennings Did Not Die From Vaccine / Heart Attack!
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Dr. Vicky Jennings Died After Celebrating Her Birthday
Let me start by giving you a summary of what led to Dr. Vicky Jennings’ sudden death on Sunday, 3 March 2024.
The night earlier, Dr. Vicky Jennings and her boyfriend went out to celebrate her 45th birthday. They had dinner and stayed overnight at a hotel. At 2 AM, when her boyfriend wanted to give her his birthday present, he could not wake her up.
Dr. Vicky Jennings’ death was officially announced by Netcare Limited – the South African hospital network at where she worked.
Dr Vicky Jennings was the embodiment of selfless, caring and committed service, dedicating her life as a surgeon to her patients in the public and private sector.
Dr Jennings was the clinical lead in trauma surgery at Netcare Milpark Hospital and the Netcare Milpark Academic Trauma Centre. She also worked as the Deputy Head of Trauma Surgery at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital.
She loved her work and what she described as her privileged life, often praising her colleagues, patients, friends and loved ones for making her journey an extraordinary one. She will forever hold a place in our hearts and memories.
Dr. Vicky Jennings was 45 years old when she died. Not 43 years old, as claimed by some people.
Fact #2 : Dr. Vicky Jennings’ Cause Of Death Was Not Publicly Revealed
Netcare never revealed her cause of death as a heart attack. So it is odd that so many people are claiming that Dr. Vicky Jennings died from a heart attack, with some even attributing it to Netcare!
Dr. Jennings’ family also did not publicly reveal her cause of death. Even her mother-in-law, Geraldine Gilbert, only stated what a shock it was. She too did not reveal her cause of death, never mind blame it on the COVID-19 vaccines!
Thank you Val for those sweet words.💔 Such a shock to the system!
So why would anyone claim that she died from a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine??? Where is the evidence???
Fact #3 : Dr. Vicky Jennings Did Not Die From Vaccine / Heart Attack
Dr. Vicky Jennings was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, like most responsible doctors and healthcare workers. However, she did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine, or even a normal heart attack.
I know this because I reached out to a close family friend who revealed that an autopsy was conducted on Dr. Vicky Jennings. The autopsy and toxicology test reports have determined that Dr. Vicky Jennings did not die from a heart attack, and her death was not vaccine-related.
Her grieving family does not wish to publicly reveal her official cause of death, and I can understand why. All I can publicly confirm, with the help of this close family friend, is that Dr. Vicky Jennings died from an unrelated cause of death that had nothing to do with a heart attack, or the COVID-19 vaccine.
I should point out that none of those who claimed that Dr. Vicky Jennings died from a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine have ever offered any evidence, or even bothered to find out what really happened.
If, and when, her family decides to publicly reveal her cause of death, you will see that Dr. Vicky Jennings indeed did not die suddenly from a heart attack, or the COVID-19 vaccines. Until then, please respect their wish for privacy.

Did leaked AstraZeneca audio show that the COVID-19 pandemic was preplanned years in advance?! Let’s take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Leaked AstraZeneca Audio Show Pandemic Was Preplanned!
People are sharing a video which shows Sasha Latypova and Clayton Morris discussing how leaked audio of an AstraZeneca meeting show that the COVID-19 pandemic was preplanned years in advance!
Chief Nerd : 👀 Sasha Latypova Has New Evidence Showing the COVID Countermeasures Were ‘Preset Years Before’ the Pandemic Occurred
“The audio is from an internal meeting in AstraZeneca…VP Mark Esser says we started working with the Dept. of Defense Pandemic Preparedness Program in 2017. He also mentions that they were approached by Dept. of Defense…with a proposal that they would be working on something like this with the DoD to develop vaccines and therapeutics within 60 days of the DoD identifying a pathogenic virus that can cause global pandemics.”
Redacted : BREAKING! They PLANNED the whole thing years in advance. | Redacted w Natali and Clayton Morris
Here is an abridged transcript of the video between Clayton Morris (CM) and Sasha Latypova (SL):
CM : What really happened here?
SL : Well, the truth turns out this [COVID-19 pandemic] was all preset way… years before. From this leaked audio, but it’s not the only source, this is just the confirmatory evidence that I obtained.
Claim : Leaked AstraZeneca Audio Show Pandemic Was Preplanned!
This is yet another example of fake news about the COVID-19 pandemic, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Sasha Latypova Did Not Work For Big Pharma
In the video, Clayton Morris referred to Sasha Latypova’s years of work in the pharmaceutical industry:
Before we get to the tape, you’ve worked, obviously, in the pharmaceutical industry with a lot of clients for many, many years, so you know this intimately.
However, there is no indication that Sasha Latypova ever worked in the pharmaceutical industry, never mind Big Pharma. According to her own LinkedIn profile, she only appears to have worked in the medical device industry, and then only in the management capacity:
1997 – 1999 : Graduated with MBA from The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth
March 2006 – October 2016 : Co-Founder and Executive VP of iCardiac Technologies, Inc.
December 2014 to present : Co-Founder, Executive VP and Director of Clerio Vision, Inc.
As far as I can tell – Sasha Latypova does not have any medical training, or experience with viruses or vaccines. It also looks like she never worked for any of the Big Pharma companies. How does that translate into working in the pharmaceutical industry for “many, many years”???
Fact #2 : 2017 Pandemic Prevention Program Did Not Target COVID-19
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the US Department of Defense initiated its Pandemic Prevention Platform (P3) in 2017 (archive), aiming to develop “an integrated technology platform” to “halt the spread of any viral disease outbreak within 60 days“.
Its initial program outline specifically pointed out that the goal of the P3 platform was to cut the time to develop countermeasures to a viral outbreak from years to just “weeks”, using DNA- and RNA-based technologies.
Nowhere in its program description did it once refer to COVID-19, or the SARS-CoV-2. That’s because the novel coronavirus would not appear until the end of 2019, and the world informed on 31 December 2019.
In other words – the DARPA P3 program is not evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic was preplanned years in advance. It is called “being prepared for a future disaster”. Just because you build a bomb shelter does not mean you are planning to launch a war!
Fact #3 : AstraZeneca Audio Does Not Show Pandemic Was Preplanned
Sasha Latypova actually shared the leaked AstraZeneca audio on 7 February 2024, but it didn’t go viral… because it was a “nothingburger”.
Anyone who listens to the leaked audio, or reads the transcript below will quickly realise that it does not show that the COVID-19 pandemic was pre-planned years in advance by the US Department of Defense, or Big Pharma companies like AstraZeneca.
Here is a transcript of the audio, which is very long:
Mark (the introducer) : … [Mark] Esser who has been the architect of the long-acting antibody against Covid-19. Mark, back to you.
Mark Esser : Excellent! So, thank you for the introduction, Mark [the introducer], and it’s really a pleasure to share with all of you a little bit of the journey that the “long-acting antibody” team has taken in 2020, but actually our story begins back in 2017 in the basement of a Quality Inn in Tysons Corner VA at the Defense Department Industry Day.
There, I met Col. Matt Hepburn, who is actually the architect of the Pandemic Prevention Program or P3, and the goal of P3 was going from the discovering a novel virus to producing drugs in less than 60 days – something that would normally take 6 years at best.
To me that sounded more like science fiction than science, but we signed up in a small and committed team of virologists and molecular biologists and engineers and started working in 2018 on new technologies to discover and manufacture antibodies against viruses. The team has actually been pretty successful on the early discovery engine piece and had won a biopharma R&D award about this time last year.
So, in January we were all anxiously following the emerging news from China about the new disease. It wasn’t a surprise to me when I got a call on February 4th from the Defense Department here in the US saying that the newly discovered SARS-2 virus posed a national security threat. We needed to stop everything we were doing on our model system influenza, and put everything onto SARS-2.
Fortunately, our top 2 virologists, Patrick and ??? were already a step ahead, having cloned and expressed the virus protein soon after the virus sequence was published on January 21st. Of course, the task was formidable: we had to learn everything we could about the new virus, the immune response to the virus, and the disease called “COVID-19”.
What we and others quickly learned was that the critical protein on the virus is called the “spike protein” and this is the protein on the virus that allows the virus to infect cells by binding to the ACE-2 receptor, and what we also learned was that it could exist in active and an inactive form.
In the active form, it expressed a special domain called a Receptor Binding Domain, or the RBD, and what we quickly figured out was that RBD was going to be the “Achilles’ heel” of the virus. So, we decided that our best strategy was to come up with two antibodies against this Receptor Binding Domain, and we set out with a three-pronged approach to discover those antibodies.
First, we tried to isolate these B-cells from the blood taken from Covid-19 patients. Second, we immunized humanized mice with different constructs of spike protein to elicit those magical B-cells, and third, we ran a huge screen using our traditional Cambridge antibody technology phage display library.
All in all, we screened tens of thousands of antibodies, and then discovered about 1500 that bound the spike protein and whittled it down to our top 100 by the end of March. The team worked late into the night, weekends – their commitment was inspiring, and they surprised me with their “top 12” neutralizing antibodies on my birthday, April 10th.
The next challenge was to down-select from these 12 neutralizing antibodies to our “top 2”. The best way I can describe this is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle while blindfolded, but at the end the team selected two very distinct, two very potent antibodies that showed synergistic activity. When I say, “synergistic activity”, it was 1% + 1% actually equaled 93% neutralization.
At the same time, our protein engineers, who are in my mind are some of the best in the world, made key enhancements to the antibodies to extend their half-lives so that a single dose could afford up to 6 to 12 months of protection, ensure high yield production in 15,000 liter bioreactors, and be stable up to 1 year in a refrigerator.
So, all in all, all this was done in just 99 days – 1 day ahead of schedule. So, our last hurdle to overcome was to accelerate that normal kind of 2 to 3 year early development timeline into 2 months, and we basically did that by running everything in parallel, and making significant investments at risk. Two notable examples were manufacturing of the Cho-cell pools and starting out tech transfer to our tech transfers to our manufacturing partners before we had even selected our top clones.
Our clinical and regulatory teams worked around the clock, and we dosed our first patient on August 21st [2020], and I am happy to report that we started our two Phase 3 studies: PROVENT last week, and yesterday we dosed first patient in my favorite study, “Storm Chaser” yesterday.
It’s really been astonishing to see how everyone in the company has pulled together and risen to the challenge, and I’ve had the good fortune working with everyone in Biopharma R&D, Precision Medicine, Legal, Business Development, Procurement, Project Management, Ops [Operations], IT [Information Technology], Commercial and the all-important Government Affairs, and I’d like to take this moment to thank everyone.
So, clearly, fighting a virus like SARS-2 in a worldwide pandemic is not for the faint of heart, but clearly, we are all in this fight to the finish. Also, very grateful to Pascal [Soriot, AstraZeneca CEO], Mene (Sir Menelaus Pangalos, an AstraZeneca board member) and Nesset (sp) for their leadership, and I am very proud to be part of the company that not only follow the science but is putting patients first and doing what is right thing for the whole world.
Just like the antibody we are “better together” and I look forward to being with many of you in a healthier and happier 2021. So, thank you and over to you, Pascal.
Pascal Soriot : Thank you, Mark, and congratulations again to you and the team. This long-acting antibodies are quite unique because this is the only combination that potentially will last more than 6 months, up to potentially 12 months and protect people for a long period of time.
And for those of you who may not be totally familiar with antibodies, you know, you have to know a number of people cannot be vaccinated, like if you have an immune disease, lupus or some other immune condition… or multiple sclerosis, you cannot be vaccinated. So, there are millions of people in the world that will need the protection that cannot be coming from a vaccine, so the long-acting antibody has the enormous potential.
In short, the leaked AstraZeneca audio does not show any pre-planning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It only gives us an inside look at how pharmaceutical teams can now quickly develop products like neutralising antibodies, and vaccines, against a novel (new) virus.
Fact #4 : AstraZeneca Audio Showed How It Developed Evusheld
The truth is – the leaked audio actually detailed how AstraZeneca quickly developed Evusheld (AZD7442) – its combination of tixagevimab and cilgavimab – two long-acting antibodies (LAAB) against COVID-19.
Even so, it did not take AstraZeneca 60 days to develop and ship Evusheld, as envisioned by the P3 project. In the end, it took AstraZeneca almost two years to get Evusheld approved by the FDA. Its development started in February 2020, and Evusheld only received its FDA EUA on 8 December 2021.
To be clear – that’s still very fast, and demonstrates the effectiveness of DARPA’s Pandemic Prevention Platform (P3). Again, it does not show that DARPA or AstraZeneca planned the COVID-19 pandemic back in 2017.

Does the blood of COVID vaccinated people clot in just 3 minutes, instead of 30 minutes?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : COVID Vaccinated Blood Clots In Just 3 Minutes!
People are sharing a video, claiming or suggesting that it shows that the blood of COVID vaccinated people will clot in just 3 minutes, instead of the usual 30 minutes!
This blood was taken from a vaccinated patient. After three minutes, she became like this.
It usually takes 30 minutes for blood to clot in an SST tube, not 3 minutes.
In the video, a lady can be heard speaking while presumably shaking a test tube containing clotted blood. She appears to claim that the test tube contained blood drawn from a patient that was clotting in just 3 minutes, instead of the usual 30 minutes. She claimed it was not normal.
This patient’s blood was drawn 3 minutes ago. Already clotting in the tube. Not normal. Takes a half hour usually.
Truth : COVID Vaccinated Blood Does Not Clot In Just 3 Minutes!
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Blood Typically Clots In 2-8 Minutes
Let me start by pointing out that human blood does not take 30 minutes to clot. Our blood typically takes only 2-8 minutes to clot (coagulate) using the capillary test tube method at 37°C.
Think about it for a second – if it really takes 30 minutes for our blood to clot, even a small cut would result in considerable blood loss!
Fact #2 : Serum-Separating Tube Is Designed To Speed Up Clotting
If you look at the test tube in the video, you will notice that it has a yellow- or gold-coloured stopper. You can also see a white-coloured gel at the bottom. That’s a serum-separating tube (SST).
These SSTs have micronised silica particles that help to quickly coagulate the blood through contact activation of coagulation factor XII. After the blood sample is drawn, the bottle is inverted several times to mix the blood with the silica particles and gel.
While the blood quickly starts to coagulate (clot) and separate, full coagulation of a large sample may take several minutes, depending on the SST used. Typically, lab technicians leave the blood sample to stand for 20-30 minutes (source), but thrombin-accelerated quick clotting serum test tubes (example) only need 2 minutes.
After the blood has clotted, the sample is centrifuged to separate whole blood cells from the serum. The gel at the bottom forms a barrier between the clot and the serum after centrifugation.
While laboratories generally allow blood samples in SST tubes to clot for 20-30 minutes on a rack, the true clotting time varies considerably (source), depending on whether the patient:
is on anticoagulant therapy – a longer clotting time is required
has liver disease of multiple myeloma – a longer clotting time is also required
In fact, if the patient is no high doses of heparin – the blood does not even coagulate!
Fact #4 : No Evidence Blood Sample Was Taken From Vaccinated Patient
If you listen carefully, the lady in the video did not actually claim that the blood sample was drawn from a vaccinated patient. There is no way to ascertain if the blood sample really came from a patient who was vaccinated against COVID-19.
Unless she was the patient’s doctor who elicited a comprehensive medical history, she would not know the patient’s COVID-19 vaccination status. A nurse or lab technician assigned to take blood, for example, would not be aware of the patient’s COVID-19 vaccination status.
But more importantly, even though the lady on the video did not claim that the blood came from a vaccinated patient, people are claiming that it shows blood from a vaccinated person. How did they know? There is simply no evidence the blood came from a vaccinated person.
Fact #5 : No Evidence Blood Sample Was Taken 3 Minutes Earlier
I should also point out that there is really no evidence that the video shows blood that was taken 3 minutes ago. We only have the anonymous lady’s word for that.
Now, if the video actually showed the blood being drawn, and the blood clotting in 3 minutes, that might have been something. But the short video does not tell us how long the blood has been inside that SST tube. It could have been a full 30 minutes.

Did Joe Biden just propose to start vaccinating America in his re-election pitch?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Joe Biden Just Proposed To Start Vaccinating America!
Some people are sharing a video of US President Joe Biden on X (formerly Twitter), alleging that stated that he just proposed to start vaccinating America in his re-election pitch!
RNC Research : Biden makes his re-election pitch: “We have to start off by vaccinating America!”
Blake :New: Real Life Or Parody? Biden Stutters Then Says We Have To Start Vaccinating America:
“I know we got a lot more to do.”
“We, we, we, we, we have to start off by vaccinating America.”, says Biden.
He recently claimed that COVID vaccines were being used to cure cancer.
Unreal.
Salty Texan : Biden’s 2024 reelection pitch: “Folks… we we we we we have to start off by vaccinating America.”
Truth : Joe Biden Did Not Propose To Start Vaccinating America!
Let’s take a closer look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Fact #1 : Joe Biden Did Not Propose To Start Vaccinating America!
Let me start by pointing out that Joe Biden did not propose to start vaccinating America.
It is unknown if those people promoting that claim have hearing problems, or they are trying to gaslight other people. What is certain is that – Joe Biden never said that in the video.
If you watch the video, and listen carefully, you will hear him referring to vaccinating America in the past tense:
Folks, we’ve come through pretty tough times, and I know, I know we got a lot more to do. We had to stay off… we had to start off by vaccinating America. Trump stood flat-footed during that period of time before the pandemic.
To be clear – Joe Biden was speaking in the past tense, referring to his push to vaccinate America against COVID-19 early in his term.
Fact #2 : Donald Trump Did Promote COVID-19 Vaccines
Let me throw a bone to right-wing conservatives, who had to stoop so low as to mishear what Joe Biden actually said – former President Donald Trump did promote COVID-19 vaccines.
In fact, let me give him credit speeding up the development and approval of COVID-19 vaccines through Operation Warp Speed. He would later downplay the COVID-19 vaccines in his final months in office, and both Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in private.
But former President Donald Trump backtracked (again?) and recommended that Americans get vaccinated against COVID-19 in March 2021.
I would recommend it. And I would recommend it to a lot of people that don’t want to get it and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly.
But again, we have our freedoms and we have to live by that and I agree with that also. But it is a great vaccine. It is a safe vaccine and it is something that works.
Later in December 2021, he would tell his fans that he also took the COVID-19 booster dose, as recommended by the CDC. At the same Dallas event, he told the crowd to take credit for helping to save lives using the COVID-19 vaccines:
Look, we did something that was historic. We saved tens of millions of lives worldwide. We together, all of us — not me, we — we got a vaccine done, three vaccines done, and tremendous therapeutics.
This was going to ravage the country far beyond what it is right now. Take credit for it. Take credit for it…. Don’t let them take it away. Don’t take it away from ourselves.
Fact #3 : Joe Biden Referred To Donald Trump’s Disbanding NSC Directorate
Right after stating that he started his administration by vaccinating America against COVID-19, Joe Biden referred to the Trump Administration’s decision in 2018 to dismantle a National Security Council (NSC) directorate at the White House that was charged with preparing for when, not if, another pandemic arrives.
The NSC Directorate of Global Health Security and Biodefense was created by former President Barack Obama in 2016, in response to the 2014 Ebola outbreak; and survived the transition to the Trump Administration. However, it was disbanded in May 2018 by John Bolton, right after President Donald Trump appointed him as head of the National Security Council.
So when President Donald Trump said that the SARS-CoVo-2 coronavirus “came out of nowhere” and “blindsided the world”, public health officials and national security experts disagreed, as they had been warning about coming pandemics for years. They also criticised his Administration’s decision to disband the directorate.
It would be nice if the office was still there. I wouldn’t necessarily characterize it as a mistake (to eliminate the unit). I would say we worked very well with that office.
– Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health, March 2020
One year later I was mystified when the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like COVID-19
– Beth Cameron, the first director of the Directorate of Global Health Security and Biodefense, March 2020
It was only when President Joe Biden took power in January 2021, that the Directorate of Global Health Security and Biodefence was reinstated.
Yet again, it showed the Joe Biden was speaking in the past tense. He was contrasting his actions versus those of former President Donald Trump.

Did a British study confirm that over 1 billion people now have VAIDS from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : British Study Confirmed 1 Billion People Now Have VAIDS!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed that a British study confirmed that over 1 billion people now have VAIDS (Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine!
British Gov’t Bombshell: ‘One Billion Vaccinated People Now Have VAIDS’
An official British study has confirmed that over one billion people worldwide now have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) as a direct result of taking the mRNA Covid jab.
According to a group of scientists at Cambridge University, at least 25% of the fully vaxxed population are now suffering extreme immune responses to the toxic chemicals found in the Covid shots.
The sharp decrease in immunity following vaccination is caused by “altered cytokine responses”. Cytokines are small proteins that are produced by our immune system in response to infection. The more jabs a person receives, the more depleted the immune system becomes, resulting in VAIDS.
mRNA jabs, such as the ones created by Moderna and Pfizer, use a string of genetic material to tell the body to create a specific protein that safely imitates an infection.
Research in the field, spanning decades, had been slow work. It often stalled because RNA itself is often attacked by the body as a foreign invader.
But in 2023, the Nobel Prize for Medicine went to the pair of scientists who had spent years working to fix the problem. It was done by taking one of the RNA bases, uridine, and swapping in a very similar synthetic alternative.
This breakthrough allowed scientists to create proteins in the body without the immune system attacking the jab.
It allows for quick and precise vaccines that are highly effective and was the backbone of the Covid vaccine response.
It was thought the minor tweak to uridine caused no problems in cells, but a team of researchers at the University of Cambridge’s Medical Research Council (MRC) Toxicology Unit have now found when this partially synthetic code is read, the protein-making machine in the body sometimes struggles with the uridine analogues.
Because it is not a perfect fit for what is expected, there can be a momentary pause which causes the process to stutter and a letter in the code can get skipped, much like a bike slipping a gear.
This process, called frameshifting, throws out the way the code is interpreted as it relies on groups of three bases, known as codons, being read in the right order.
This issue, caused by the jab’s code, throws the process completely out of sync and the entire subsequent code becomes garbled.
In the case of the Covid jabs, the end result is a nonsensical and harmless protein, the team found, which the body attacks and leads to an immune system flare-up. The new study, published in Nature, found this occurred in around 25-30 per cent of people.
Truth : British Study Did Not Confirm 1 Billion People Have VAIDS!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Vaccine AIDS Does Not Exist
Let me start by pointing out that there is no medical disease called Vaccine AIDS or VAIDS – Vaccine-Induced Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It appears to be something made-up by anti-vaccination activists to scare people.
AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Nothing else causes AIDS. Certainly no vaccine, not even the COVID-19 vaccine, causes AIDS.
Robert Charles Gallo – one of the two scientists who independently discovered that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was responsible for AIDS, said in response to the 2021 claim by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro that COVID-19 vaccines cause AIDS:
[I]t’s hard to believe anyone would claim that the covid-19 vaccine causes AIDS. We know what causes AIDS.
I don’t know what your president said. So I don’t want to be too critical. But it is obvious that neither the covid-19 vaccine nor any other vaccine causes AIDS.
Fact #2 : British Study Does Not Even Mention VAIDS!
Curiously, The People’s Voice article does not link to the British study (N1-methylpseudouridylation of mRNA causes +1 ribosomal frameshifting), which you can read here.
Perhaps it’s because anyone who even skims through the study will quickly realise that it does not mention anything about VAIDS (Vaccine-Induced Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome). That’s not a surprise because VAIDS does not even exist!
So why would anyone claim that this study showed that mRNA vaccines cause Vaccine AIDS or VAIDS?!
Fact #3 : Study Did Not Say 25% Of Vaccinated Are Now Suffering
The People’s Voice article claimed that the British scientists said that “at least 25% of the fully vaxxed population are now suffering extreme immune responses to the toxic chemicals found in the Covid shots”.
That’s not true – the British researchers did not say that 25% of vaccinated people are now suffering from extreme immune responses to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
For one thing – it was ⅓, not 25% of the 21 vaccinated people in the study who developed “off-target proteins” caused by ‘slips’ along the mRNA sequence. On top of that, the researchers clearly pointed out that those “off-target proteins” did not produce any ill effects:
In collaboration with researchers at the Universities of Kent, Oxford and Liverpool, the MRC Toxicology Unit team tested for evidence of the production of ‘off-target’ proteins in people who received the mRNA Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19.
They found an unintended immune response occurred in one third of the 21 patients in the study who were vaccinated – but with no ill-effects, in keeping with the extensive safety data available on these COVID-19 vaccines.
To be clear – the British study did not conclude that any vaccinated person was harmed by the “off-target proteins” that can be produced by the current Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
Fact #4 : No Evidence mRNA Vaccines Cause Altered Cytokine Response
The People’s Voice article referred to another study which supposedly showed that a “sharp decrease in immunity following vaccination is caused by altered cytokine response“. That is not true either.
Here’s the gist – the study also did not mention anything about VAIDS, and was only conducted on blood samples. The children participating in that study did not report any side effect or disease from their COVID-19 vaccinations.
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did a new study find that Long COVID patients all received the mRNA vaccine for COVID-19?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Study Found Long COVID Patients All Received mRNA Vaccine!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that a new study found that Long COVID patients all received the mRNA vaccine for COVID-19!
Official Study Finds All Patients With Long COVID Had Received mRNA Vaccine
A new study has found that the majority of patients who experienced so-called ‘long COVID’ were actually suffering side-effects from the harmful vaccine.
“Despite the extensive distribution of vaccines and antiviral therapies, the prevalence of long COVID remains high,” the authors of the paper wrote.
Although definitions of long COVID differ, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) broadly defines long COVID as “signs, symptoms, and conditions that continue to develop after acute COVID-19 infection” that can last for “weeks, months, or years.” The term “long COVID” also includes post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, long-haul COVID, and post-acute COVID-19.
Studies Link Long COVID to Vaccination
A February report published by the CDC found that more than 8 percent of participants in seven U.S. states reported having experienced long COVID symptoms. In West Virginia, almost 11 percent of survey participants reported long COVID symptoms. However, the agency did not disclose whether survey respondents were vaccinated.
Some research suggests long COVID may be caused by an immune overreaction to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that COVID-19 vaccines use to induce antibodies and that vaccination causes some people to generate a second round of antibodies that target the first.
In a February 2023 study published in the Journal of Medical Virology, researchers analyzed the levels of spike protein and viral RNA in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 with and without long COVID. They found that spike protein and viral RNA were more likely to be present in patients with long COVID.
In an August 2023 study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, researchers found the risk of long COVID was lower in those who had previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the risk of getting long COVID did not differ by vaccination status. Researchers found that unvaccinated people infected with omicron had the lowest risk of long COVID.
In a 2023 study in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, researchers studied the serum of 81 individuals with long COVID. They found viral spike protein in one patient after the infection had cleared despite having a negative COVID-19 test, and vaccine spike protein in two patients two months after vaccination.
In a December 2022 study published in PLoS One, researchers found patients were more likely to experience long COVID if they had preexisting medical conditions, a higher number of symptoms during the acute phase of COVID-19 illness, if their infection was more severe or resulted in hospitalization, or if they had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Truth : Study Did Not Find Long COVID Patients All Received mRNA Vaccine!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : mRNA Vaccines Were Not Mentioned In Study
Let me start by pointing out that the study in question never even mentioned mRNA vaccines. In fact, the word “mRNA” does not appear in the paper at all!
So why would anyone claim that this study showed that all patients with Long COVID received the mRNA vaccine???
Fact #2 : Thailand Used A Mix Of Vaccines
On top of that, Thailand uses a mix of COVID-19 vaccines – a majority of which were the Oxford-AstraZeneca, and CoronaVac vaccines, both of which are not mRNA vaccines.
So it is more likely that not that the majority of patients in that study did not receive the mRNA vaccine.
Fact #3 : It Was An Observational Study By Telephone
I should also point out that it was an observational study. Observational studies like this cannot prove causality. Perhaps that’s why the study authors themselves pointed out that further prospective research is needed to establish any causality.
However, given the observational nature of our study, further prospective research is needed to establish causal relationships, and longitudinal studies are advised to track the evolution of long-COVID symptoms over time.
To be clear – you cannot use observational studies like this as evidence of causality. This study does not show that COVID-19 vaccines cannot prevent Long COVID. Neither does it show that COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of Long COVID.
Fact #4 : Study Did Not Look At Vaccine Effect On Long COVID
I should also point out that this Thai study was not actually designed to look at the effect of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination on Long COVID.
Not only did it not have a control group of unvaccinated people, almost all of its participants received both COVID-19 vaccinations and antiviral treatment!
In fact, the study did not mention whether anyone was unvaccinated. So it is highly likely that all its participants were at least either fully-vaccinated, or had antiviral treatment!
The cohort consisted of 390 participants… Among them, 96.7% (n = 377) were vaccinated, and 98.2% (n = 383) underwent antiviral treatment.
So how do we know if the Long COVID was caused by the COVID-19 infection itself, the COVID-19 vaccines, or the antiviral treatment? We don’t, because this observational study was never designed to elicit such information in the first place!
Fact #5 : Almost All Study Participants Were Vaccinated!
I should stress yet again, that almost all of the participants (94.8%) in this Thai study were fully vaccinated:
40.5% received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, while
54.3% received two doses, and a booster dose.
This is important because such a study would inevitably show that people who were vaccinated can suffer from Long COVID. That doesn’t mean that the vaccines cause Long COVID.
If the same study was conducted on only male patients, it would show that only men had Long COVID. Would that mean that only men get Long COVID? Of course, not. That is only the perception that you may get if the study was conducted on only men.
Fact #6 : Studies Do Not Link Long COVID To Vaccines
The People’s Voice article included a list of studies it claimed or suggested show a link between Long COVID and mRNA (or other types of COVID-19) vaccines. That’s not accurate:
The February 2024 report by the CDC did not link Long COVID to vaccination. In fact, the CDC report pointed out that “information about COVID-19 vaccination … is not included in this report“.
The February 2023 study published in the Journal of Medical Virology only looked at levels of spike proteins and viral RNA in COVID-19 patients. It did not mention anything about vaccines, or link Long COVID to vaccination.
The August 2023 study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases only showed that that the risk of Long COVID was higher with the wild-type SARS-CoV-2, compared to the Alpha, Delta and Omicron variants. It did not show a link between COVID-19 vaccines and Long COVID.
The 2023 study in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences only identified viral spike protein in one COVID-19 patient, and vaccine spike protein in two patients after COVID-19 vaccination, out of 81 Long COVID patients. It did not show a link between the Long COVID and vaccination.
The December 2022 study in PLoS One did not conclude that receiving COVID-19 vaccines was a predictor of long COVID, calling it “an observational paradox” and a “collider bias” due to their study only looking at patients who received hospital care. I wrote an extensive article on this earlier, after The Epoch Times (again?!) covered it as “a new study“.
Fact #7 : Studies Have Shown Vaccines Reduce Long COVID Risk
Many prior studies, involving millions of people – both vaccinated and unvaccinated, have concluded that COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of Long COVID.
A March 2024 study published in The Lancet, involving over 20 million people in the UK, Spain and Estonia, concluded that “vaccination against COVID-19 consistently reduced the risk of long COVID symptoms, which highlights the importance of vaccination to prevent persistent COVID-19 symptoms, particularly in adults“.
A February 2024 study published in Nature Communications, involving 1.1 million patients in Hong Kong, provided “real-world evidence supporting the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in reducing the risk of long-term health consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its persistence following infection“.
A March 2023 meta-analysis of 17 different studies on the effects of vaccines on Long COVID concluded that:
The evidence presented herein recommends SARS-CoV-2 vaccination for the prevention of long COVID in breakthrough cases. Furthermore, evidence does not support that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination exacerbates long COVID symptoms. Thus, most patients with long COVID should be vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2.
As you can see – much larger studies have already shown that COVID-19 vaccines not only do not increase the risk of Long COVID, getting vaccinated will actually reduce your risk of getting Long COVID should you get infected.
Hence, it is no surprise that the US CDC has pointed out that “Vaccination offers protection against the prolonged effects of #COVID19“.
Fact #8 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Find out why Thomas Kingston – Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband, did not die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine, and what was his real cause of death!
Claim : Thomas Kingston Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Thomas Kingston died suddenly at just 45 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, and Pippa Middleton’s ex died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine!
𝕏NEWS NANCY𝕏 : 🚨UK — Thomas Kingston, has died suddenly. He was 45. Reports: No foul play. Source: Buckingham Palace
We all know how common it is for a healthy 45-year-old man to die. Oh wait — it’s only BECOME common since the MANDATED rollout.
I’d like to say rest in peace, but NO ONE should be resting in peace until their family cares enough to INSIST on using the available vaccine technology to trace the death of origin.

Cillian : Since Prince William pushed the COVID jabs, urging the “younger generations” to take it and claiming that “social media is awash with misinformation”:
• Two Royals – including his father, King Charles – have been diagnosed with cancer.
• His paternal grandparents (Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip) have both died.
• Thomas Kingston – his cousin-in-law – has “died suddenly” at 45.
• His wife, Kate Middleton, was hospitalised and has not been seen for more than two months.
At what stage does it become more than just a coincidence? 🤔💉
Herd Immunity News : News: Where is WEF KC3 On Excess Deaths?: The Death Of Thomas Kingston: Inquest to open into death of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent’s son-in-law. All we know so far is that Mr Kingston #DiedSuddenly.
For a Monarch who increasing speaks out on ‘climate change’, support for the meat grinder of Ukraine and doing more for illegal migrants KC3 is remarkably silent on the JAB deaths, in particular, involving a member of the Royal Family. Perhaps this is due to his Royal Majesty’s hearty backing for these faulty, inadequately tested medical interventions himself?
Yet again, like so many other untimely deaths, millions of people around the world will conclude that this is yet another death related to the CV19 JAB. We know that 90% of the UK population took at least ONE of these deadly trial meds. However we don’t know if Moderna, AstraZeneca or Pfizer played a part in this poor man demise?
The sudden death of the 45-year-old financier came as a “great shock”, his wife and family said in a joint statement. #Excessdeaths are sitting around 110k since 2021, as record numbers perish well before their time.
As the elites focus their attention of endless, pointless wars and genocide, it’s no surprise that the silence is deafening on these sickening stats.
Thomas Kingston : Cause Of Death Was Not Vaccine SADS!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on social media platforms like Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Thomas Kingston Died From Gun Shot
Let me start by simply pointing out that Thomas Kingston did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine, because he died from a “traumatic head wound“, with a gun found near his body.
This was revealed at the Gloucestershire Coroner’s Court on 1 March 2024, in an inquest into his sudden death, after a post-mortem was conducted.
According to senior coroner Katy Skerrett, Thomas Kingston had lunch with his parents at their family home in the Cotswolds on Sunday, 25 February 2024. His father then took their dogs on a walk, and on his return, Thomas was not in the house.
His father later found Thomas Kingston with “a catastrophic head injury”, after forcing entry into a locked outbuilding, and a gun was found at the scene. Police and paramedics were called to the scene at about 6 PM, after an unnamed family member made a 999 call.
These brief circumstances are as follows. Mr Kingston was visiting his parents’ home in the Cotswolds. On February 25 2024 he ate lunch with his parents. His father went out to walk the dogs.
On his return Mr Kingston was not in the house and after approximately 30 minutes his mother went to look for him. His father forced entry on a locked out building when no reply could be gained.
He found Mr Kingston deceased with a catastrophic head injury. A gun was present at the scene. Emergency services were called. Police are satisfied the death is not suspicious.
post mortem has been undertaken by Dr Jones, a consultant histopathologist, and a provisional cause of death has been given as a traumatic wound to head.
Having been satisfied with identification, initial cause of death and the brief circumstances surrounding Mr Kingston’s death, I can formally open this inquest. I now adjourn it to a date to be fixed. That concludes the opening of the inquest into the death of Thomas Henry Robin Kingston.
The official cause of death for Thomas Kingston was “a traumatic wound to the head“. While the inquest did not expressly say so, it appears that Thomas Kingston committed suicide by gun.
Obviously, no vaccine – not even the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine – can pull the trigger of that gun to cause a traumatic wound to Thomas Kingston’s head!
Until and unless his family (or the authorities) reveal his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Thomas Kingston was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Thomas Kingston was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more than two years ago! He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination. Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did a new study just show that majority of Long COVID patients were vaccinated?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Majority Of Long COVID Patients Were Vaccinated!
People are sharing an Epoch Times article, which claims that a study just found that majority of Long COVID patients were vaccinated!
Here is an excerpt from the Epoch Times article, which people are using to suggest or imply that the COVID-19 vaccines are either useless, or increase the risk of developing Long COVID.
Study Finds Majority of Patients With Long COVID Were Vaccinated
Mass vaccination and available antiviral treatments have not prevented vaccinated individuals from experiencing lingering COVID-19 symptoms.
A recent study found that the majority of patients who suffered from long COVID during a time when vaccines and antiviral treatments were widely available were vaccinated.
The observational study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, researchers interviewed 390 people in Thailand who contracted COVID-19 during the “fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic” when the omicron variant was dominant. Patients were followed by phone from three months after their diagnosis for a year to monitor their physical condition, mental health, sleep disturbances, and quality of life.
Out of 390 people with COVID-19, 377 (97 percent) were vaccinated, 383 (98 percent) underwent antiviral treatment, and 330 (78 percent) developed long COVID syndrome. The most frequently reported symptoms were fatigue and cough. Other reported symptoms included depression, anxiety, and poor sleep quality. The study found that patients under age 60 with a cough as an initial symptom were more likely to develop the condition. In a subset of patients with long COVID, researchers found a notable correlation in females with headaches, dizziness, and brain fog.
Studies Link Long COVID to Vaccination
A February report published by the CDC found that more than 8 percent of participants in seven U.S. states reported having experienced long COVID symptoms. In West Virginia, almost 11 percent of survey participants reported long COVID symptoms. However, the agency did not disclose whether survey respondents were vaccinated.
In a February 2023 study published in the Journal of Medical Virology, researchers analyzed the levels of spike protein and viral RNA in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 with and without long COVID. They found that spike protein and viral RNA were more likely to be present in patients with long COVID.
In an August 2023 study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, researchers found the risk of long COVID was lower in those who had previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the risk of getting long COVID did not differ by vaccination status. Researchers found that unvaccinated people infected with omicron had the lowest risk of long COVID.
In a 2023 study in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, researchers studied the serum of 81 individuals with long COVID. They found viral spike protein in one patient after the infection had cleared despite having a negative COVID-19 test, and vaccine spike protein in two patients two months after vaccination.
In a December 2022 study published in PLoS One, researchers found patients were more likely to experience long COVID if they had preexisting medical conditions, a higher number of symptoms during the acute phase of COVID-19 illness, if their infection was more severe or resulted in hospitalization, or if they had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
This is important because it appears that the 390 patients were not clinically diagnosed with Long COVID. Rather, they were diagnosed with COVID-19, and the researchers interviewed them by “telephone every three months for a period of one year“.
In short – the reliability of the Long COVID diagnosis is highly dependent on what the patients reported, or are willing to tell the researchers. In addition, the list of physical and mental symptoms the researchers looked at are not exclusive to Long COVID, and may be manifestations of pre-existing or unrelated ailments:
Observational studies like this cannot prove causality. Perhaps that’s why the study authors themselves pointed out that further prospective research is needed to establish any causality.
However, given the observational nature of our study, further prospective research is needed to establish causal relationships, and longitudinal studies are advised to track the evolution of long-COVID symptoms over time.
To be clear – you cannot use observational studies like this as evidence of causality. This study does not show that COVID-19 vaccines cannot prevent Long COVID. Neither does it show that COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of Long COVID.
Fact #2 : Study Did Not Look At Vaccine Effect On Long COVID
I should also point out that this Thai study was not actually designed to look at the effect of COVID-19 vaccination alone on Long COVID.
Not only did it not have a control group of unvaccinated people, almost all of its participants received both COVID-19 vaccinations and antiviral treatment!
In fact, the study did not mention whether anyone was unvaccinated. So it is highly likely that all its participants were at least either fully-vaccinated, or had antiviral treatment!
The cohort consisted of 390 participants… Among them, 96.7% (n = 377) were vaccinated, and 98.2% (n = 383) underwent antiviral treatment.

Did an FDA document just prove that COVID-19 vaccine shedding is real?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : FDA Doc Proves COVID Vaccine Shedding Is Real!
People are sharing articles (archive | archive) by Natural News and Infowars, which claimed or suggested that an FDA document just proved that COVID-19 vaccine shedding is real!
Here is an excerpt from those articles. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
PROOF: Documents from FDA, Pfizer show that COVID “vaccine” shedding is REAL
Up until now, most of the research exposing Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” as dangerous – and exposing those who take them as disease and death spreaders – has come from independent sources. Now, the truth is coming from the federal government and Big Tech.
It took the sleuthing public, including the diligent truth-seekers at the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) advocacy group, a while to find all this, but we now know from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) itself that mRNA gene therapy products like those manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna do, in fact, shed onto others from those who take them.
A 2015 FDA document called “Design and Analysis of Shedding Studies for Virus or Bacteria-Based Gene Therapy and Oncolytic Products” defines shedding as “the release of [viral or bacterial gene therapy products] … from the patient through one or all of the following ways: excreta (feces); secreta (urine, saliva, nasopharyngeal fluids etc.); or through the skin (pustules, sores, wounds).”
The same document goes on to explain, according to the FDA, what gene therapy products are:
“All products that mediate their effects by transcription and/or translation of transferred genetic material.”
Since both the mRNA injections for COVID and adenovirus vaccines fall into this category, this is a clear-cut admission from the FDA itself that people who are “fully vaccinated” for COVID shed these poisons onto others through contact or close proximity, vindicating independent researchers who have been warning about this threat for years.
Truth : FDA Doc Does Not Prove COVID Vaccine Shedding Is Real!
This is yet another example of anti-vaccine fake news, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : The FDA Document Is From 2015
Let me start by pointing out that the FDA document in question is almost 9 years old, being originally published in August 2015.
In other words – it was published 4 years before the COVID-19 pandemic, and 5 years before the first COVID-19 vaccines were approved.
Fact #2 : FDA Document Does Not Apply To COVID-19 Vaccines!
The FDA document was an industry guidance paper (PDF) called Design and Analysis of Shedding Studies for Virus or Bacteria-based Gene Therapy and Oncolytic Products.
The title itself is clear – it only refers to “Virus or Bacteria-based Gene Therapy and Oncolytic Products“.
COVID-19 vaccines are not gene therapy (gene modification) products, and they are not oncolytic (cancer killing) products either. So the FDA document does not apply to them!
Fact #3 : Shedding Only Occurs With Live Attenuated Virus Vaccines
Vaccine shedding actually refers to viral shedding, which can only (potentially) occur with live attenuated virus vaccines. Such vaccines alters the virus to make it weakened or even harmless, but still “live”.
There are no COVID-19 vaccines that are based on the live attenuated SARS-CoV-2 virus. Therefore, vaccine shedding cannot possibly occur with any COVID-19 vaccine currently-approved by the WHO.
All currently-approved COVID-19 vaccines are based on other vaccine technologies like inactivated virus (killed virus), viral vector (using a different virus), mRNA (using mRNA instructions), or subunit vaccines (using isolated viral proteins).
To be clear – mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, highlighted in the Natural News and Infowars articles, do not cause vaccine shedding.
I should also point out that if the spike protein is so dangerous, then it is even more important to get vaccinated against COVID-19. After all, viruses multiply, while the vaccines won’t!
Even if we simply look at the mRNA vaccines alone, they contain a limited number of mRNA instructions that encode for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The mRNA instructions enter a limited number of cells, which then produce and display those spike proteins on their surfaces, to trigger our immune system.
If you are infected by the actual SARS-CoV-2 virus though, it quickly hijacks your cells to produce millions of copies – each covered with spike proteins, which then infect even more cells, in an ever-expanding chain reaction.
Until your immune system learns to stop and defeat the SARS-CoV-2 virus, it will keep producing millions and millions of viruses that will circulate through your body, delivering those nasty spike proteins everywhere.
So if you are really worried about the spike protein, you should really get vaccinated against COVID-19!
Fact #5 : Natural News Is Known For Fake News
Natural News is a far-right, anti-vaccination conspiracy theory and fake news website that is known for publishing / promoting pseudoscience, disinformation, and far-right extremism.
Writing in the journal Vaccine, Anna Kata identified Natural News as one of numerous websites spreading “irresponsible health information”. According to John Banks, Natural News founder Mike Adams uses “pseudoscience to sell his lies” and is “seen as generally a quack and a shill by science bloggers.”
Dr. David Gorski called Natural News “one of the most wretched hives of scum and quackery on the Internet,” and the most “blatant purveyor of the worst kind of quackery and paranoid anti-physician and anti-medicine conspiracy theories anywhere on the Internet”.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from Natural News. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Anti-vaccine activists have been excitedly sharing what they call a “peer-reviewed” paper on the lessons learned about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, while calling for the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to be removed.
The paper in question is called “COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines: Lessons Learned from the Registrational Trials and Global Vaccination Campaign” by Mead et. al. which includes anti-vaccine activists like Jessica Rose, Steve Kirsch, and Peter McCullough.
While it is being heralded as something new, the paper appears to be nothing more than a regurgitation of long-debunked claims about mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Unfortunately, it received a patina of legitimacy when it was published in the journal Cureus, with anti-vaccine activists gleefully pointing out that it was a “peer-reviewed” paper.
What many people don’t realise is that Cureus uses “an unusually fast” peer-review process of just “a few days”, and relies heavily on “post-publication peer review”, as its Editor in Chief John R. Adler explained to Retraction Watch in 2015:
Yes, Cureus has an unusually fast review process, which is an important part of the journal’s philosophy. We believe that post publication peer review, a focus of our journal through commenting and our unique SIQ process, is potentially a more powerful way to discern truth.
In other words – the pre-publication peer review appears to be superficial, and Cureus relies on the scientific community to peer-review the papers after publication. All that “post-publication” criticism appear to have resulted in its decision to (finally) retract this controversial article.
On 19 February 2024, one of the article’s co-authors – Steve Kirsch, revealed (archive) that Cureus has decided to retract the article, citing a number of concerns.
The journal was recently made aware of several concerns regarding the validity of the work and, upon conducting an internal review, the journal has decided to retract your article. Upon further review, we have identified a significant number of concerns with your article that in our view can’t be remedied with a correction. The concerns include, but are not limited to:
We find that the article is misrepresenting all-cause mortality data
We find that the article appears to be misrepresenting VAERs data
The article states that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine saved two lives and caused 27 deaths per 100,000 vaccinations, and the Moderna vaccine saved 3.9 lives and caused 10.8 deaths per 100,000 vaccinations, though there does not appear to be convincing evidence for this claim.
Incorrect claim: Vaccines are gene therapy products.
The article states that vaccines are contaminated with high levels of DNA. Upon review we found that the cited references are not sufficient to support these claims.
The article states that SV40 promoter can cause cancer because SV40 virus can cause cancer in some organisms and inconclusively in humans. However, we find that this is misrepresenting the cited study (Li, S., MacLaughlin, F., Fewell, J. et al.Muscle-specific enhancement of gene expression by incorporation of SV40 enhancer in the expression plasmid. Gene Ther 8, 494–497 (2001). https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.gt.3301419
The article states that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines did not undergo adequate safety and efficacy testing, which the journal considers to be incorrect
The article incorrectly states that spike proteins produced by COVID-19 vaccination linger in the body and cause adverse effects.
Given the concerns with your article, we find that the stated findings in this narrative review are to be considered unreliable, and are not sufficiently supported either by the cited research in the article itself or by other research. In line with the COPE retraction guidelines, the Editors have therefore decided to retract your article. The journal will publish the following retraction notice:
==
The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. The following publication concerns were raised regarding a number of claims made in this article. Upon further review, the Editors-in-Chief found that the conclusions of this narrative review are considered to be unreliable due to the validity of some of the cited references that support the conclusions and a misrepresentation of the cited references and available data.
[will be amended as appropriate:] All authors agree to this retraction/ None of the authors agree to this retraction /[author name] agrees to this retraction/[author name] does not agree to this retraction/ [author name] has not responded to any correspondence from the editor/publisher about this retraction.

Please let me know by 23 February whether you agree or disagree with this retraction, as this will be noted in the retraction notice. Retraction of the article means that we will publish the retraction notice as a separate publication which will bidirectionally link to your article. The article itself will be clearly marked as retracted.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

The list of concerns in the Cureus letter is frankly, too short. In my earlier article, I already listed a number of other concerns with the article:
unsubstantiated claims that the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials were too short
unsubstantiated claims that mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 were not proven safe or effective
misleading emphasis on absolute risk (AR) versus relative risk (RR) in understanding vaccine efficacy
misleading emphasis on unverified adverse events that were reported after vaccination.
unsubstantiated claims that 74% of deaths were “judged to have been caused by the COVID-19 mRNA products”
In any case, Cureus officially retracted this “peer-reviewed” article on 26 February 2024, with this statement:
The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. Following publication, concerns were raised regarding a number of claims made in this article. Upon further review, the Editors-in-Chief found that the conclusions of this narrative review are considered to be unreliable due to the concerns with the validity of some of the cited references that support the conclusions and a misrepresentation of the cited references and available data.
The authors disagree with this retraction.
One can’t help but wonder if this incident might persuade Cureus to spend a wee bit more time and effort on its peer-review process… or better still, don’t allow such articles to be labelled as “peer-reviewed” until they have at least passed proper, legitimate peer-review.

Did Bill Gates just vow to eradicate memes from the Internet?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Bill Gates Vows To Eradicate Memes From The Internet!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that Bill Gates just vowed to eradicate memes from the Internet!
Bill Gates Vows To Eradicate Memes From the Internet Forever
Bill Gates has hatched a new plan that will result in the complete elimination of memes from the Internet forever.
The Gates-funded GAVI Vaccine Alliance has announced that it wants to reframe memes as “health disinformation super-spreaders.”
In previous eras and authoritarian states, that would get the books with imagery and words characteristic of memes banned or burned.
So what could be the solution in the current era? And what does the big picture amount to?
Well, it’s just Bill Gates going after a free and open internet again, only by other means – cynics might say.
But here’s what a blog post on GAVI’s site says: “Our research shows that memes form part of a highly sophisticated strategy to spread and monetize health disinformation.”
When the “research” is done – (including assertions such as that memes falsely “depicted unvaccinated people as unfairly stigmatized” – well tell that to tennis superstar Novak Djokovic who almost got his career ruined by actual unfair stigmatization) – come the conclusions:
“Influencers promoting vaccine hesitancy use memes to build their online following, sow distrust of health authorities and profit from the promotion of unapproved medicines. This enables them to evade responsibility for any negative consequences of their messaging.”
There’s a “call to action” too, basically – to formally criminalize memes.
Says GAVI: “Memes may not look threatening – but that’s why they are such effective super spreaders of health disinformation.”
Truth : Bill Gates Did Not Vow To Eradicate Memes From The Internet!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Bill Gates Is Not Eradicating Memes From The Internet
Let me start by pointing out that Bill Gates never vowed to eradicate memes from the Internet. Neither did he plan to eradicate memes from the Internet.
In fact, the entire premise is so silly, I cannot believe I have to actually point out that it is impossible to eradicate memes from the Internet. It sounds like it was written by people who are not tech-savvy. It would be far more believable if they claim that Bill Gates wants to eradicate fairies!
The People’s Voice article, unsurprisingly, offered no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim that Bill Gates vowed, or has actually hatched a plan, to eradicate memes from the Internet.
The article was written by Stephanie Alice Baker, and Michael James Walsh, who published it on The Conversation. It was simply republished by GAVI, under a Creative Commons licence.
Fact #3 : Article Details How Antivaxxers Use Memes
The article details how anti-vaccine memes started centuries ago, and how some anti-vaccine influencers use men drops to profit financially! You should definitely read it. It’s a very interesting, and educational article, and I salute the authors!
But more importantly for this fact check, the article never once called for memes to be eliminated, or made criminal. This completely contradicts what was written in The People’s Voice article.
Fact #4 : Bill Gates Does Not Own / Run GAVI
Bill Gates does not own or run GAVI. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was just one of its founding partners. GAVI has many stakeholders, including the WHO, UNICEF, the World Bank, donor countries, and civil society organisations.
Its policies are therefore dictated not by a single person, but a GAVI board that is currently chaired by José Manuel Barros with 28 members, comprising of :
9 independent individuals
5 representatives from donor countries
5 representatives from implementing countries
2 representatives from GAVI – CEO, research and technical health institutes
2 representatives from the vaccine industry
1 representative from civil society organisations
1 representative from WHO
1 representative from UNICEF
1 representative from World Bank
1 representative from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Does the Red Cross test blood donations from COVID-19 vaccinated donors? Take a look at the drama, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Red Cross Does Not Test Vaccinated Blood Donations!
People are sharing video clips of other people making calls to the Red Cross, asking if any test is conducted on the blood donations they received from COVID-19 vaccinated people.
They appear to be suggesting or implying that the vaccinated blood contain spike proteins, and/or that the Red Cross wants unvaccinated people to receive vaccinated blood. Cue the (feigned?) shock, horror and outrage on social media…
DC_Draino :The Red Cross has some explaining to do
We now know they ask your C19 vax status but it’s not for reasons most expect
We dug deeper & found *Big Pharma* execs are on the Board
And they want vaxxed blood pumped into the unvaxxed
Gabrielle Cuccia : 🏥 The American Red Cross is now asking donors whether or not they’ve received the j@b💉and if so – from who. 🧐
❌ After making my own call to the Red Cross and doing a little more digging, I uncover so much more.
James Miller : Are blood donations contaminated with Spike Protein? I call to find out….the answer may surprise you.
Truth : Red Cross Tests Vaccinated Blood Donations!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Red Cross Tests Vaccinated Blood Donations!
Let me start by pointing out that the American Red Cross conducts tests on all blood donations, whether they are from donors vaccinated against COVID-19, or unvaccinated donors.
This is clearly stated in the American Red Cross website, which anyone can locate with a quick search online. For your convenience, here is what they currently test blood donations for:
Blood donations are tested for multiple disease markers.
Trypanosoma cruzi (anti-T. cruzi) : since January 2007
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) : since 1971
Hepatitis B Core Antibody (Anti-HBc) : since 1986
HBV DNA nucleic acid testing : since June 2009
Hepatitis C virus (HCV 3.0) antibody : since December 1990
HCV nucleic acid testing : since September 1999
HIV Types 1 and 2 antibody : since March 1985
HIV nucleic acid testing : since September 1999
Human T-Lymphotropic virus (HTLV-½) : since 1998
Syphilis (Treponema pallidum) : since the 1950s
West Nile virus (WNV) nucleic acid testing : since June 2003
Babesia nucleic acid testing : since June 2012
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) testing : since 1985 but limited to demand for CMV-seronegative blood products
On top of that, the American Red Cross also conducts the usual tests for red blood cell antigen genotyping, leukocyte antigen and antibody, and human platelet antigen genotyping.
To be clear – all blood donations undergo tests for multiple disease markers, regardless of whether they were donated by people vaccinated against COVID-19, or otherwise.
Fact #2 : Red Cross Used To Test For COVID-19 Antibodies
Even before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented, the American Red Cross did not test its blood products for the spike protein. Instead, it tested all blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies from June 2020 until June 2021 (source).
However, that was not because COVID-19 can spread through blood, because not a single case of such an infection has been reported to date. Rather, the American Red Cross tested for COVID-19 antibodies in those blood donations for two reasons:
to provide blood donors insight into whether they may have been exposed to COVID-19
to identify potential convalescent plasma donors
This COVID-19 antibody testing program ceased after a majority of Americans received their COVID-19 vaccinations, and the American Red Cross stopped its own convalescent plasma collection program.
Fact #3 : Blood Of Vaccinated People Are Safe For Transfusions
On 27 January 2023, Red Cross, the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies and America’s Blood Centers issued a joint statement to combat misinformation about blood donated by vaccinated people. They stated, unequivocally, that blood of vaccinated people are safe for transfusions:
The following statement has been issued by AABB, America’s Blood Centers and the American Red Cross regarding misinformation concerning COVID-19 vaccines and blood donations:
Amid ongoing misinformation about COVID-19 vaccinations and blood donation, America’s Blood Centers, the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB), and the American Red Cross reiterate the safety of America’s blood supply and assure the public that vaccines do not pose a risk to patients receiving blood transfusions.
Blood donations from individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine approved or authorized for use in the U.S. are safe for transfusion. Similar to other vaccines such as those for measles, mumps or influenza, COVID-19 vaccines are designed to generate an immune response to help protect an individual from illness, but vaccine components themselves do not replicate through blood transfusions or alter a blood recipients’ DNA.
In summary, there is no scientific evidence that demonstrates adverse outcomes from the transfusions of blood products collected from vaccinated donors and, therefore, no medical reason to distinguish or separate blood donations from individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccination.
All blood collection organizations in the U.S. are required to follow Food and Drug Administration guidelines and regulations to collect, process and distribute blood products for patients in need. The FDA explicitly allows donors who have recently received approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines to give blood as long as they are healthy on the day of donation and meet all other eligibility criteria. On multiple occasions, the Food and Drug Administration has confirmed that there is no evidence to support concerns related to the safety of blood donated by vaccinated individuals.
All Americans, including both blood donors and blood recipients, should feel confident that receiving a blood transfusion is safe. COVID-19 vaccines do not replicate, and all blood donations offer the same life-saving therapeutic benefits, regardless of the vaccination status of the donor.
Fact #4 : Vaccinated People Would Have Antibodies In Blood
There is no reason to be worried about spike proteins in the blood of people who were vaccinated against COVID-19, because they would have antibodies that would attach to any circulating spike proteins.
COVID-19 vaccines work by triggering our own immune system to recognise, and create antibodies against, the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Those antibodies circulate in the blood, and attach to the spike protein of any invading SARS-CoV-2 virions. Once attached to the spike proteins, these antibodies physically block the SARS-CoV-2 virus from attaching to our cells, thereby blocking any infection.
Hence, it is extremely unlikely that the blood of people who were vaccinated against COVID-19 would contain free-floating spike proteins. Even if they happen to be infected with COVID-19 at the time they made their blood donations, their circulating antibodies would be attaching themselves to the virus particles.
Fact #5 : Some Unvaccinated People Would Have Antibodies In Blood Too!
Some unvaccinated people who had a prior COVID-19 infection would have similar antibodies against the COVID-19 virus spike protein as well.
With most of the American population either vaccinated, or having survived a prior COVID-19 infection, the vast majority of blood donations would likely contain such anti-spike protein antibodies.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that any blood donation, whether from a vaccinated person or otherwise, will contain COVID-19 spike proteins in significant amounts, if at all.

Some people are now making a fuss about the Red Cross not separating COVID-19 vaccinated blood, from unvaccinated blood.
Find out why the Red Cross is not separating donated blood based on the donor’s COVID-19 vaccination status!
Red Cross Does Not Separate COVID Vaccinated Blood!
People are sharing an audio clip of a Red Cross official telling an “undercover journalist” that they do not separate donated blood based on the donor’s COVID-19 vaccination status.
Cue the (feigned?) shock, horror and outrage on social media…
Steven Crowder : BREAKING: @RedCross official tells undercover journalist they DO NOT SEPARATE donated blood based on COVID-19 vaccination status; ADMITS unvaccinated recipients can UNWITTINGLY RECEIVE blood from vaccinated donors
THIS. IS. INSANE.
Liz Churchill : The Red Cross states the ‘Covid Vaccine’ does not contaminate your bloodstream…yet they ask if you’ve had the ‘vaccine’.
This Red Cross official tells an undercover journalist they do NOT separate donated blood. These are Crimes Against Humanity.
MJTruthUltra : Confirmed: The American Red Cross Lied and Unvaccinated Individuals are Unknowingly Receiving Vaccinated Blood, Along with the Spike Proteins it Carries
NOW— They want you to call in if you are vaccinated and want to donate..
Truthseeker : Red Cross Confirms to Undercover Journalist that Unvaccinated People Could Unknowingly Get Blood from Vaccinated Donors — Vaccination Status Inquiry Aims to Screen Out Donors with Vaccine Side Effects
Why Red Cross Don’t Separate COVID Vaccinated Blood!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : This Is Old News
Let me start by pointing out that the fact that the Red Cross does not separate donated blood based on the donor’s COVID-19 vaccination status is not “breaking news”. It’s actually old news.
The Red Cross has stated that it does not label or separate blood products according to the donor’s COVID-19 vaccination status since September 2022, if not earlier.
14 September 2022 : We don’t label blood products as containing vaccinated or unvaccinated blood as the COVID-19 vaccine does not enter the bloodstream & poses no safety risks to the recipient. If you have safety concerns about potential blood transfusions, please speak with your medical care team
4 January 2023 : Blood products aren’t labeled with the donor’s vaccination status & there’s no scientific evidence that the vaccine enters the bloodstream.
You don’t need to be an “undercover journalist”, or even attempt to “trick” any Red Cross official into revealing what has already been openly stated for more than 1.5 years now.
Just because someone is ignorant about old news does not make this breaking news. What next will these Johnnys-come-lately reveal next? That vaccines must evolve to adapt to new COVID-19 variants???
Fact #2 : Red Cross Says Vaccinated Blood Safe For Transfusion
After recent claims that blood donors were being rejected or deferred because they were COVID-vaccinated, the American Red Cross responded that it follows FDA regulations and protocols, and that vaccinated blood are safe for transfusions.
The safety of blood donors and the recipients who receive donated blood is our top priority. The Red Cross, like all blood collectors in the U.S., follows FDA regulations and protocols. This includes guidance related to those who receive vaccinations such as the COVID-19 vaccine.
Individuals can donate blood after getting an FDA approved COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are feeling well and symptom free at the time of donation. Those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine are asked to provide the name of the manufacturer to ensure it is an FDA approved vaccine. If the donor can not remember the name of the manufacturer, they are asked to wait two weeks from their vaccination to give blood.
Donations from those who have been vaccinated for COVID-19 are safe for transfusion. Similar to other vaccines such as measles, mumps or influenza, the COVID-19 vaccine is designed to generate an immune response to help protect an individual from illness. The vaccine components themselves are not found within the blood stream.
Let me just repeat this – blood products from COVID-vaccinated donors are safe for transfusion. Hence, there is no need to separate them based on the donor’s COVID-vaccination status, just like how blood products are not separated based on whether their donors received the measles, mumps, or influenza vaccines.
Fact #3 : Red Cross Is Not Obligated To Cater To Your Preferences
Donated blood products are meant to save lives. Organisations that receive and process blood products have to comply with regulations, and best practices. These are not trivial products that for-profit companies can cater to the whims and fancies of the consumer.
Hence, Red Cross and other similar blood organisations are not obligated to cater to anyone’s preferences of “unvaccinated” blood. If you wish to receive only “unvaccinated blood”, then you will have to donate and store your own blood, or have an unvaccinated friend or relative donate their blood for you to use.
Go ahead, and knock yourself out. Just don’t insist that organisations like the American Red Cross must cater to your whims and fancies.
Fact #4 : Blood Of Vaccinated People Are Safe For Transfusions
It isn’t just the Red Cross that claims that the blood of COVID-19 vaccinated people are safe for transfusions. Other organisations like the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies and America’s Blood Centers issued a joint statement with the American Red Cross on this very issue:
The following statement has been issued by AABB, America’s Blood Centers and the American Red Cross regarding misinformation concerning COVID-19 vaccines and blood donations:
Amid ongoing misinformation about COVID-19 vaccinations and blood donation, America’s Blood Centers, the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB), and the American Red Cross reiterate the safety of America’s blood supply and assure the public that vaccines do not pose a risk to patients receiving blood transfusions.
Blood donations from individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine approved or authorized for use in the U.S. are safe for transfusion. Similar to other vaccines such as those for measles, mumps or influenza, COVID-19 vaccines are designed to generate an immune response to help protect an individual from illness, but vaccine components themselves do not replicate through blood transfusions or alter a blood recipients’ DNA.
In summary, there is no scientific evidence that demonstrates adverse outcomes from the transfusions of blood products collected from vaccinated donors and, therefore, no medical reason to distinguish or separate blood donations from individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccination.
All blood collection organizations in the U.S. are required to follow Food and Drug Administration guidelines and regulations to collect, process and distribute blood products for patients in need. The FDA explicitly allows donors who have recently received approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines to give blood as long as they are healthy on the day of donation and meet all other eligibility criteria. On multiple occasions, the Food and Drug Administration has confirmed that there is no evidence to support concerns related to the safety of blood donated by vaccinated individuals.
All Americans, including both blood donors and blood recipients, should feel confident that receiving a blood transfusion is safe. COVID-19 vaccines do not replicate, and all blood donations offer the same life-saving therapeutic benefits, regardless of the vaccination status of the donor.
You will also note that this statement was issued on 27 January 2023, which makes it old news too… Will this statement now become “breaking news” too? I certainly hope not…

Did the American Red Cross just begin to defer blood donors who had the COVID-19 vaccine?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Red Cross Begins Deferring COVID-Vaccinated Blood Donors!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that the WHO Director-General just order governments to eliminate independent media, before the arrival of Disease X!
American Red Cross Begins Deferring Blood Donors Who Had Covid Vaccine
The American Red Cross is now asking blood donors if they ever received the Covid mRNA vaccine as the fallout from the disastrous vaccine roll out continues spreading through society.
Blood donors who answer yes to the question are told to call ahead and see if they are still eligible to donate blood.
Rogan O’Handley (DC Draino), a former Hollywood entertainment lawyer turned conservative commentator, wrote on X: “The American Red Cross is now asking blood donors if they ever received the Covid vaccine. If you answer Yes, they want you to call ahead to see if you’re still eligible I thought the vax was “safe and effective”? What info are they hiding from us?”
The American Red Cross website clarifies its position, stating it follows FDA guidance for blood donation eligibility post-COVID-19 vaccination. Deferral times may vary depending on the vaccine type administered. Donors who have been inoculated with an inactivated or RNA-based vaccine from AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer are typically not deferred, provided they are symptom-free and feeling well at the time of donation.
Truth : Red Cross Did Not Begin Deferring COVID-Vaccinated Blood Donors!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Red Cross Deferment Isn’t New
Let me start by pointing out that this deferment by the American Red Cross isn’t new. It actually dates back to at least 28 July 2021 (archive), which is more than 2.5 years ago!
Q: Are individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine eligible to give blood, platelets and plasma?
A: Yes, you can donate blood after getting a COVID-19 vaccine, as long as you are symptom-free and feeling well at the time of the donation. Please come prepared to share the manufacturer name of the vaccine you received. If you do not know the name of the vaccine manufacturer, we request you wait two weeks to donate after vaccination, out of precaution.
The fact that some people are only realising this now isn’t shocking. What’s shocking is that some people would actually claim that the Red Cross is only “now” asking blood donors if they ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.
Fact #2 : Red Cross Has No Problem With mRNA Vaccines
The People’s Voice article claimed or suggested that the American Red Cross if asking blood donors if “they ever received the Covid mRNA vaccine“. That’s not true.
The American Red Cross only asks that if you received the COVID-19 vaccine to share “the manufacturer name” to determine if you need to “wait two weeks… after vaccination” to donate your blood.
In fact, the American Red Cross specifically pointed out that donors who received mRNA-based vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna do not need to wait to donate their blood.
There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with an inactivated or RNA based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer.
To be clear – the American Red Cross has never said that mRNA vaccines were dangerous, and donors who received it would need to defer giving blood.
Fact #3 : Red Cross Only Wants To Defer Live Attenuated Vaccine
The truth is Red Cross is only asking blood donors who received a “live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine” to wait two weeks before giving blood.
But guess what – no live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine has ever been approved anywhere in the world, as of 21 February 2024!
It appears that the Red Cross initiated this decision as far back as July 2021, out of an abundance of caution – because some donors may be a participant in a clinical trial involving a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine, and kept it as a forward-looking requirement, when such COVID-19 vaccine is ever approved.
Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood.
Even that deferral isn’t set in stone, as it appears that the Red Cross will still accept blood donations from donors who are “symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation”:
In most cases, there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation.
Fact #5 : Red Cross Is Helping To Vaccinated People
Interestingly, the American Red Cross points out that while they are not a healthcare provider that administers COVID-19 vaccinations in the United States, its teams are helping to vaccinated US service members overseas!
The Red Cross, as an organization, is not a healthcare provider and is not administering COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. However, Red Cross volunteers who are medical professionals may work with local authorities to help give vaccinations if their state licenses permit them to do so. In addition, Red Cross teams are currently helping to vaccinate U.S. service members on bases around the world.
Yet again, it shows that the Red Cross does not have an issue with COVID-19 vaccinations. So why would anyone suggest otherwise???
Fact #6 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Alex Jones : COVID Vaxxed May Be Ineligible To Give Blood, Says Red Cross
Truth : Red Cross Is Not Rejecting COVID Vaccinated Blood!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : This Eligibility Requirement Isn’t New
Let me start by pointing out that this eligibility requirement isn’t new. The American Red Cross posted about this in a Q&A (archive) on 28 July 2021. That’s 2.5 years ago!
The fact that some people are only realising this now isn’t shocking. What’s shocking is that they are actually making a fuss about it.
Fact #2 : Red Cross Isn’t Rejecting Any COVID Vaccinated Blood
I should also point out that the American Red Cross has not, and is not, rejecting any blood from people who were vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine.
Q: Are individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine eligible to give blood, platelets and plasma?
A: Yes, you can donate blood after getting a COVID-19 vaccine, as long as you are symptom-free and feeling well at the time of the donation. Please come prepared to share the manufacturer name of the vaccine you received. If you do not know the name of the vaccine manufacturer, we request you wait two weeks to donate after vaccination, out of precaution.
Fact #3 : Red Cross Only Defers Some Blood Donations
The truth is Red Cross is only asking blood donors who received a “live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine” to wait two weeks before giving blood.
But guess what – no live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine has ever been approved anywhere in the world, as of 21 February 2024!
It appears that the Red Cross initiated this decision as far back as July 2021, out of an abundance of caution – because some donors may be a participant in a clinical trial involving a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine, and kept it as a forward-looking requirement, when such COVID-19 vaccine is ever approved.
Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood.
Even that deferral isn’t set in stone, as it appears that the Red Cross will still accept blood donations from donors who are “symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation”:
In most cases, there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation.
Fact #4 : There’s No Deferral For Inactivated / RNA / mRNA Vaccines
In any case, all of the approved COVID-19 vaccines in the United States, and the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines, do not require any deferral, because they are based on the inactivated or RNA and mRNA vaccine technologies:
There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with an inactivated or RNA based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer.
So why would anyone throw a (pretend?) hissy fit about something that has zero effect on blood donors in the United States?
Fact #6 : Red Cross Is Helping To Vaccinated People
Interestingly, the American Red Cross points out that while they are not a healthcare provider that administers COVID-19 vaccinations in the United States, its teams are helping to vaccinated US service members overseas!
The Red Cross, as an organization, is not a healthcare provider and is not administering COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. However, Red Cross volunteers who are medical professionals may work with local authorities to help give vaccinations if their state licenses permit them to do so. In addition, Red Cross teams are currently helping to vaccinate U.S. service members on bases around the world.
Yet again, it shows that the Red Cross does not have an issue with COVID-19 vaccinations. So why would anyone suggest otherwise???

Did the WEF just pass a new law to criminalise criticism of mRNA technology?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : WEF Passed Law To Criminalise Criticism Of mRNA!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that France just passed a new law to jail people for opposing mRNA vaccines!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
WEF Passes New Law To Criminalize Criticism of mRNA
Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum have pulled the levers to criminalize criticism of mRNA as world governments continue to clamp down on basic freedoms we once took for granted.
According to the global elite, anyone who dares to raise questions about the efficacy or safety of the elite’s experimental mRNA gene therapy vaccines must be sent to prison for three years and fined tens of thousands of dollars.
World Economic Forum Young Global Leader President Emannual Macron has passed a new law in France which will send you to jail for 3 years if you dare to criticize mRNA “vaccines” or “gene therapy.”
According to the new law, which was passed quietly, without debate, through the French parliament last week, criticism of mRNA or other treatments which have been deemed “suitable” based on current “medical knowledge” can lead to a 3 year prison sentence and up to a $48,400 fine.
Article 4 of the tyrannical new law, or Article Pfizer as it is being referred to by freedom fighters in the legislature, is the most aggressive move by the global elite to criminalize dissent since the dark days of the Covid pandemic and the draconian response by governments operating in lockstep around the world.
Ominously, during the discussion of this fascist law that eliminates informed consent, warnings were parroted that “the next pandemic is coming” and mRNA technology is the only solution.
Truth : WEF Did Not Pass Law To Criminalise Criticism Of mRNA!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : WEF Cannot Pass Any Law
Let me just start by pointing out that the World Economic Forum (WEF) cannot pass any law in any country. It is merely an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) that focuses on public-private sector collaboration.
The WEF has no power over world leaders, beyond its lobbying and influencing efforts. The WEF may be an influential lobbying organisation, but it cannot pass laws in any country.
Fact #2 : Only French National Assembly Passed Article 4
The controversial bill that has gotten anti-vaccine activists so riled up is called The Bill To Strengthen The Fight Against Sectarian Excesses And Improve The Support Of Victims. You can read the bill as it was presented to the Senate on 15 November 2023.
What particularly incensed them was Article 4 of that bill, which many are calling “Article Pfizer“. It failed the first vote on Tuesday, 13 February, but passed in the National Assembly with a vote of 116 to 108 on Wednesday, 14 February 2024.
To be clear – Article 4 was not passed by the French government, but by the National Assembly of the French Parliament. The full bill, which is not yet the law, was also passed by the National Assembly, and not the WEF, or the French government.
Fact #3 : WEF Screenshot Is Fake
The cover image used by The People’s Voice article has a screenshot which purportedly shows the World Economic Forum (WEF) posting on X (formerly Twitter) that:
mRNA deniers are dangerous – and must be imprisoned!
That is most definitely a fake screenshot, because there is no such post on X by the World Economic Forum. Yet again, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence that such a post ever existed, or that the WEF just passed a law to criminalise criticism of mRNA technology.
Fact #4 : French Bill Does Not Involve mRNA Vaccines
Regardless of what one may think of the new French bill or its Article 4, it does not have anything to do with the criticism of mRNA vaccines in France.
To the best of my knowledge – mRNA vaccines were not even mentioned once in the entire bill, or Article 4 itself! In fact, none of those who claimed that mRNA vaccines are involved ever provided any evidence they were mentioned in the bill!
If that’s true, you have to wonder – why do some people claim that the French bill, or its Article 4, would imprison anyone who criticises or refuses to accept mRNA vaccines???
Fact #5 : Article 4 Targets Health Disinformation
As the La Chaîne parlementaire (LCP)explained, Article 4 of the bill made it a crime to incite the “abandonment of care” in France.
Specifically dedicated to therapeutic-type excesses, this Article 4 creates a new crime aimed at punishing “the provocation to abandon or refrain from following medical-therapeutic or prophylactic treatment“, as well as “the provocation to adopt practices presented as having a therapeutic or prophylactic purpose“, when these incentives may be “particularly serious” for physical or mental health.
In other words – Article 4 of this French bill makes it a crime to convince or encourage people not to accept reasonable medical treatment or prophylactic treatments (like vaccines), or to undertake treatments that can cause serious physical or mental harm.
Why would anyone want to continue letting unscrupulous people promote fake cures, or mislead people about proven medical treatments and prophylactics???
Fact #6 : French Bill Targets Self-Declared “Gurus”
As LCP explained in a separate article, the overall bill targets “sectarian excesses in the digital space and the new gurus 2.0“, pointing out that the COVID-19 pandemic enabled many of these “gurus” to take advantage of social networks to promote sectarian excesses:
The text also stresses that “the health crisis has been an ideal ground for these new sectarian excesses. New forms of “gurus” or self-proclaimed master thinkers act online, taking advantage of the vitality of social networks to federate real communities around them.”
In other words – if the bill passes and becomes law, it only endangers self-proclaimed “gurus” and cults that use social media and the Internet to snare their victims.
There does not seem to be any provision in the law to fine or imprison people in France who criticise mRNA vaccines, or pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer.
Fact #7 : Article 4 Was Amended Before Passage
According to LCP, Article 4 was amended after it first failed to pass, to include these amendments:
a crime would not be committed “when proof of the free and informed consent of the person is provided”
whistleblowers of such crimes would be protected as “the information reported or disclosed by the whistleblower under the conditions provided for in Article 6” of the aforementioned law “does not constitute a provocation“
In other words, these gurus would not be guilty of any crime if the people they convince to go against proven medical treatments acknowledge that they provided their free and informed consent.
While many people claim that the bill or its Article 4 were passed into law, that is simply not true. As of 20 February 2024, this bill, and its Article 4, has not become law in France.
After the amended Article 4 passed on 13 February, the entire bill passed in the National Assembly the next day – on 14 February 2024, with an overwhelming 151 to 73 vote. Even so, that does not make the bill a law yet.
For one thing – that was only the first reading in the National Assembly. The bill now goes to the Senate for its approval or amendments, before returning to the National Assembly for its second reading if there are any amendments.
Only after the final bill is approved by both houses, can it then be sent to the President of France for his signature. Assuming there is no request for a constitutional review, the bill only becomes law once the French President signs it, and the Prime Minister countersigns it, and it is sent to the Journal Officiel for publication.
Fact #9 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

France: Opposition To mRNA Injections Carries Penalty Of Up To 3 Years In Jail
The French government has passed a law that considers oppostion to treatments, that they deem “therapeutic, to be a “sectarian aberration”. This of course includes mRNA-LNP (lipid nanoparticles) injections.
In a tweet, Dr. Kat Lindley pointed out: “It will not tolerate any criticism of the therapeutic treatments which will be recommended or made obligatory by the state….Any person who dares to openly criticize these therapies will be liable to fines and imprisonment.”
Violators face a 45,000 euro fine and up to three years in prison for daring to question “the science.”
InfoWars reports: Known as Article 4, the highly illiberal law prohibits residents and citizens from saying anything bad about “therapeutic” treatments like mRNA shots that are either mandatory or just recommended by the French government.

Did Alexei Navalny die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Alexei Navalny Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Alexei Navalny died suddenly in a remote Russian penal colony, some people immediately claimed or suggested that Vladimir Putin’s most feared opposition leader was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!
Richard : So according to the most recent autopsy results of Alexei Navalny, the 47-year-old’s cause of death is a blood clot in the heart.
Doctors suspect it was caused by vaccination against the coronavirus with the Pfizer vaccine. Apparently Navalny was vaccinated four times…. #Navalny #AlexeiNavalny #Nawalny
According to Rossiya 1 television, there are the results of Alexei Navalny’s autopsy. The cause of death of the 47-year-old was a blood clot in the heart. Doctors suspect that it was caused by vaccination against coronavirus with the Phizera vaccine.
No Evidence Alexei Navalny Died From Vaccine SADS!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccine activists to blame all sudden deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists…
Fact #1 : Alexei Navalny Died Suddenly In Arctic Prison
Alexei Navalny (born Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny / Алексей Анатольевич Навальный on 4 June 1976) died suddenly at the FKU IK-3 Arctic Circle penal colony in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug on Friday, 16 February 2024.
His death was announced by the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) the same day, which stated that Navalny lost consciousness after a walk. Medical workers at the penal colony attended to him, and an emergency medical team was called.
On 02/16/2024, in correctional colony No. 3, convicted Navalny A.A. felt ill after a walk, almost immediately losing consciousness. The medical staff of the institution immediately arrived, and an ambulance team was called. All necessary resuscitation measures were carried out, which did not give positive results. The doctors of the emergency medical service pronounced the convict dead.
Several Russian state-owned news agencies reported that an ambulance arrived at the scene in less than 7 minutes, and performed resuscitation measures for more than half an hour. However, they failed to revive Alexeï Navalny, who was then pronounced dead at 2:17 PM local time.
His mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, 69, received an official note the next day, on Saturday, 17 February. Alexei Navalny was 47 years old when he died.
Fact #2 : An Autopsy Is Being Conducted On Alexei Navalny
The Investigative Committee of Russia announced that “a set of investigative and operative measures” will be undertaken to determine Navalny’s cause of death, and his body would only be released to his family after the investigation was complete. The Russian authorities can legally hold his body for up to 30 days.
According to Novaya Gazeta, Alexei Navalny’s body was taken to Labytnangi, before being taken to a clinical morgue in Salekhard in the evening. His body allegedly had bruises consistent with chest compressions, which indicated that attempts were made to resuscitate Navalny.
Fact #3 : Alexei Navalny’s Cause Of Death Has Not Been Revealed!
It seems absurd for anyone to claim that Alexeï Navalny died from the COVID-19 vaccine, when his official cause of death has not been announced.
His mother was told by the prison that Alexei Navalny died from “sudden death syndrome”. However, there is no such diagnosis of death according to the ICD-10, which Russian doctors must follow.
In any case, “sudden death syndrome” has nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines, and is a general term for any sudden, unexpected death from natural causes”.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), sudden death syndrome (SDS) is defined as the sudden, unexpected death from natural causes witnessed within one hour of symptom onset, or if there are no witnesses – death occurring within 24 hours of someone being seen alive and symptom-free.
Russian propaganda outlet RT, citing an anonymous source, reported that Alexei Navalny died from a blood clot. While that is possible, it is not possible for anyone to know that without first conducting an autopsy.
Until Alexei Navalny’s official cause of death is revealed after his autopsy is complete, take these claims with a pinch of salt. More so if the sources are Russian state-owned media outlets.
Fact #4 : Unknown If Alexei Navalny Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Despite claims or suggestions that Alexei Navalny was fully-vaccinated, receiving four doses of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.
Until and unless his family (or the Russian authorities) reveal his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Alexei Navalny was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.
Even if Alexei Navalny was vaccinated against COVID-19 in Russia, it is almost a certainty he never received any mRNA vaccine. That’s because Russia has never approved any mRNA vaccine to date.
Alexei Navalny was hospitalised in Germany in December 2020, and flew back to Russia on 17 January 2021, where he was immediately detained and imprisoned. This was before COVID-19 vaccination was available to his age group in Germany on 17 May 2021, so he couldn’t have gotten his mRNA vaccine then either.
Fact #6 : Russian Vaccines Do Not Have Four Doses
It also seems quite impossible for Alexei Navalny to have received four vaccine doses. as many have claimed.
After all, Russia only approved four COVID-19 vaccines, two of which were approved for a third (booster) dose. There is no fourth dose for any COVID-19 vaccine in Russia.
Even Alexei Navalny was vaccinated against COVID-19 in Russia, he would have received at most – three doses of the Sputnik V or Sputnik Light vaccines.
Fact #7 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Alexei Navalny was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more than two years ago! He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination. Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did France just pass a new “Article Pfizer” law to ban and criminalise any criticism of mRNA vaccines?!
Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : France Passed “Article Pfizer” Law To Ban mRNA Criticism!
People are sharing articles and/or a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter), which appears to show that France just passed a new “Article Pfizer” law to ban and criminalise any criticism of mRNA vaccines!
Dr. Kat Lindley :France: any criticism of mRNA platform punishable with up to 3 years imprisonment and 45,000 euros.
“Article 4 is central to the new law, which was first deleted but then reinstated. This creates a new criminal offense and criminalizes the “ request to stop or refrain from therapeutic or prophylactic medical treatment” as well as “the request to use practices that are presented as therapeutic or prophylactic ”. This means that any resistance to mRNA treatment (and other corporate medical methods) can be criminalized in the future.”
Died Suddenly :DEVELOPING: France has passed a new law which will send you to jail for 3 years if you criticize mRNA ‘vaccines’ or ‘gene therapy’
According to the law, which was passed quietly and secretly through the French parliament on Wednesday, advisement against mRNA or other treatments which are deemed ‘suitable’ based on current ‘medical knowledge’ can lead to a 3 year prison sentence and up to a $48,400 fine.
Article 4 of the new law, or Article Pfizer as it’s being referred to by freedom fighters in the legislature, is a prejudgment of “alternative medicine” and a threat to whistleblowers.
Ominously, during what little debate was fielded before the passage of this fascist law that eliminates informed consent, warnings were parroted that “the next pandemic is coming” and mRNA technology is the only solution.
What are they planning for the world?
Wall Street Silver : It is now illegal to criticize or refuse mRNA drugs in France.
BNN : In an unprecedented move that has sparked widespread debate across France and beyond, the French parliament has recently passed a law that introduces severe penalties for those opposing mRNA LNP injections or other treatments recommended by the state based on current medical knowledge
tkp (translated) : France: Criticism of mRNA will be punishable in the future
A new criminal offense in France could in future land people in prison who encourage people to withhold appropriate medical treatment (according to “science”). The law was pushed through the National Assembly on Wednesday. Critics call the law “Article Pfizer.”
Bret Weinstein :France has now criminalized objections to the mRNA platform, exposing those targeted to ruinous fines and imprisonment. It’s obvious lunacy, and that it’s happening in a Western nation should alarm us all
This madness must be defeated, in France, at the WHO, everywhere it arises
Yesterday the French Government adopted article 4 into law.
This law means person/s can be fined up to €45,000 or in-prisoned up to 3 years for any criticising or opposing mRNA Lipid Nanotechnology injections or treatment.
This will also apply in future to mandatory vaccinations. We keep warning you – it’s coming….
Truth : France Did Not Pass “Article Pfizer” Law To Ban mRNA Criticism!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : French National Assembly Passed Article 4 On 14 February 2024
Let me start by pointing out that the controversial bill that has gotten anti-vaccine activists so riled up is called The Bill To Strengthen The Fight Against Sectarian Excesses And Improve The Support Of Victims. You can read the bill as it was presented to the Senate on 15 November 2023.
What particularly incensed them was Article 4 of that bill, which many are calling “Article Pfizer“. It failed the first vote on Tuesday, 13 February, but passed in the National Assembly with a vote of 116 to 108 on Wednesday, 14 February 2024.
Fact #2 : French Bill Does Not Involve Pfizer / mRNA
Regardless of what one may think of the new French bill or its Article 4, it does not have anything to do with Pfizer or the criticism of mRNA vaccines in France.
To the best of my knowledge – neither Pfizer nor mRNA vaccines were mentioned even once in the entire bill, or Article 4 itself! In fact, none of those who claimed that Pfizer and mRNA vaccines are involved ever provided any evidence they were mentioned in the bill!
If that’s true, you have to wonder – why do some people claim that the French bill, or its Article 4, would fine or imprison anyone who criticises or refuses to accept mRNA vaccines???

Why would anyone want to continue letting unscrupulous people promote fake cures, or mislead people about proven medical treatments and prophylactics???
Fact #4 : French Bill Targets Self-Declared “Gurus”
As LCP explained in a separate article, the overall bill targets “sectarian excesses in the digital space and the new gurus 2.0“, pointing out that the COVID-19 pandemic enabled many of these “gurus” to take advantage of social networks to promote sectarian excesses:
The text also stresses that “the health crisis has been an ideal ground for these new sectarian excesses. New forms of “gurus” or self-proclaimed master thinkers act online, taking advantage of the vitality of social networks to federate real communities around them.”
In other words – if the bill passes and becomes law, it only endangers self-proclaimed “gurus” and cults that use social media and the Internet to snare their victims.
There does not seem to be any provision in the law to fine or imprison people in France who criticise mRNA vaccines, or pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer.
Fact #5 : Article 4 Was Amended Before Passage
According to LCP, Article 4 was amended after it first failed to pass, to include these amendments:
a crime would not be committed “when proof of the free and informed consent of the person is provided”
whistleblowers of such crimes would be protected as “the information reported or disclosed by the whistleblower under the conditions provided for in Article 6” of the aforementioned law “does not constitute a provocation“
In other words, these gurus would not be guilty of any crime if the people they convince to go against proven medical treatments acknowledge that they provided their free and informed consent.
While many people claim that the bill or its Article 4 were passed into law, that is simply not true. As of 16 February 2024, this bill, and its Article 4, has not become law in France.
After the amended Article 4 passed on 13 February, the entire bill passed in the National Assembly the next day – on 14 February 2024, with an overwhelming 151 to 73 vote. Even so, that does not make the bill a law yet.
For one thing – that was only the first reading in the National Assembly. The bill now goes to the Senate for its approval or amendments, before returning to the National Assembly for its second reading if there are any amendments.
Only after the final bill is approved by both houses, can it then be sent to the President of France for his signature. Assuming there is no request for a constitutional review, the bill only becomes law once the French President signs it, and the Prime Minister countersigns it, and it is sent to the Journal Officiel for publication.

Did an insider reveal that Pfizer plans to make trillions off turbo cancer caused by its mRNA vaccine for COVID-19?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Pfizer Plans To Make Trillions Off mRNA Turbo Cancer!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that an insider just revealed that Pfizer plans to make trillions off turbo cancer caused by its mRNA vaccine for COVID-19!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Pfizer To Rake In Trillions From Turbo Cancer Deaths, Insider Claims
Turbo cancer is set to claim the lives of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people in the next few years, according to a Pfizer insider who warns that everybody vaccinated with mRNA is a walking, talking time bomb waiting to explode.
According to the insider, the Covid pandemic and the mRNA roll out was an operation with decades of planning, with the express purpose of injuring people, maiming, and killing vast numbers of people deliberately.
But it gets even worse. The mRNA roll out is only in its infancy. The sick and twisted ghouls responsible for the massive spike in turbo cancers are now set to reap massive financial benefits by forcing the entire world to get vaccinated against the problem they caused in the first place.
First, it must be understood that Pfizer and Moderna Covid mRNA vaccines are causing turbo cancers at rates previously unseen in the history of the world.
And second, it must be understood that Pfizer are investing in stocks and companies in health care on specific issues that they KNOW will happen because they caused it with their agenda in order to profit off the global elite’s depopulation agenda.
With that in mind, take a look at Pfizer’s latest attempt to lull the ignorant masses into a state of complacent bliss. This Super Bowl commercial will go down in history as one of the darkest pieces of propaganda in history.
Dr. Mike Yeadon, who served as Pfizer’s vice president and chief scientist, explained that the COVID pandemic and the subsequent mRNA vaccination campaign was a “supranational operation” years in the making and designed “to injure people, to maim and kill deliberately.”
Dr. Yeadon said he came to the conclusion that the COVID pandemic was a depoulation plot by the globalists when he started seeing his Pfizer colleagues appearing on TV and telling blatant lies to the masses. He spoke to a reporter from Children’s Health Defense while attending a Truth be Told Rally in London.
Truth : Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Does Not Cause Turbo Cancer!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Turbo Cancer Does Not Exist!
Let me start by pointing out that there is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and there is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cancer, or make cancer go “turbo”.
Many cases of cancer go undetected until they become symptomatic. And sometimes, patients ignore those symptoms until they worsen.
Some cancers are also known “silent killers”, because they show no symptoms until they are already in an advanced stage, and have spread to other parts of the body. Such patients often die soon after diagnosis.
Hence, many people that were claimed to have died of turbo cancers were suffering from such “silent killer” cancers, or their cancers were actually diagnosed long before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
Needless to say, anti-vaccine activists provide no evidence to back their claims that vaccinated people are dying from turbo cancer. Ironically, they even accused unvaccinated people (and fellow anti vaxxers) like Kirstie Alley of dying from turbo cancer!
Fact #2 : Mike Yeadon Lost Pfizer Job In 2011
Anti-vaccine activists and articles often label Mike Yeadon (born Michael Yeadon) as a Pfizer insider, or Pfizer’s Vice President and chief scientist. That’s not really true.
For one thing – Mike Yeadon lost his job as a vice-president of Pfizer’s allergy and respiratory research unit in Kent when it was shut down in 2011. So Yeadon is hardly a Pfizer insider, having left the company more than 12 years ago!
On top of that, Mike Yeadon never worked on vaccines. His former Pfizer research unit only developed drugs for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If he had any insight into Pfizer’s “evil plans”, it would have been limited to its asthma and COPD drugs, not COVID-19 vaccines.
Fact #3 : Truth Be Told Rally Was Held In January 2023
It is odd that The People’s Voice article should only quote what Mike Yeadon said at the Truth Be Told Rally in London, because that event occurred more than a year earlier – on 21 January 2023!
Why would anyone dig up an old claim to resurrect in February 2024? They must be running out of new material to scare people…
Needless to say – there is still no evidence to back up any of those old claims. Even after more than a year, where is the evidence?
Fact #4 : No Evidence COVID-19 Pandemic Was Planned
According to The People’s Voice article, Mike Yeadon claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic was planned years ago. Neither The People’s Voice, nor Mike Yeadon, have ever provided any evidence to back up those claims.
If Mike Yeadon knew of such a plan as a former Pfizer Vice-President and chief scientist, why did he not reveal this before the COVID-19 pandemic? Why did he only mention this after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared?
He had a good 12 years to announce such a dastardly plan, from the time he lost his job at Pfizer, to the COVID-19 pandemic. If he exposed Pfizer before the COVID-19 pandemic, imagine how many lives he could have saved! So why did he not expose Pfizer earlier?
Fact #5 : Mike Yeadon Never Said Pfizer Plans To Make Trillions Off Turbo Cancer
The People’s Voice article claimed or suggested that Mike Yeadon was the insider who said that Pfizer plans to make trillions of dollars off turbo cancer caused by the mRNA vaccines.
Not only do mRNA vaccines not cause turbo cancer, it does not appear that Mike Yeadon ever made such claims at the Truth Be Told rally in London last year!
In fact, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence that Mike Yeadon ever said anything about turbo cancer, or plans by Pfizer to make trillions of dollars from turbo cancer caused by mRNA vaccines.
According to The People’s Voice article, Mike Yeadon claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic was a depopulation plot by the globalists. If that is the case, the COVID-19 vaccines have ruined that evil plot, because they have proven to be safe and effective at preventing hospitalisation and death from COVID-19.
In fact, the world’s population has continued to increase throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, breaching the 8 billion point in November 2022. It is expected to exceed 8.1 billion people in July – a 0.91% increase from 2023.
In short – there is zero evidence of any depopulation efforts, with the world population increasing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the off-chance that you are worried that COVID-19 or the vaccines are causing a drop in population growth, that has been dropping since its peak in 1963.
Fact #6 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did former Dallas Cowboys lineman Tony Hutson die suddenly from vaccine SADS?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Tony Hutson Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Tony Hutson died earlier this month, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the former Dallas Cowboys guard died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine!
The People’s Voice : Fully Jabbed Coyotes Lineman Tony Hutson Dies at 49 – Doctors Baffled
Fully vaccinated former Dallas Cowboys lineman Tony Hutson has died at the age of 49, leaving doctors and family baffled.
Wayne Root – Wayne Allyn Root – TV & Radio Host : Deaths keep mounting of young Americans in their 40s & 50s. Stunning numbers of “excess deaths.” U know what I think. Not all, but large percentage are from 1 thing. We need to ask “Was he vaxxed?” You will see a pattern. Why is everyone so afraid to ask?
Steven Lachance : L’ancien joueur de ligne des Cowboys de Dallas, Tony Hutson, entièrement vacciné, est décédé à l’âge de 49 ans, laissant les médecins et la famille perplexes.
Former Dallas Cowboys lineman Tony Hutson, fully vaccinated, has died at the age of 49, leaving doctors and family perplexed.
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists…
Fact #1 : Tony Hutson Died On 3 February 2024
Tony Hutson (born Antonio Hutson on 13 March 1974), who played as an offensive lineman in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins (now Washington Commanders), passed away on 3 February 2024.
His death was only revealed in the middle of February, when his obituary and funeral details were released:
Visitation
3 to 6 PM, Friday, February 16, 2024 Serenity Gardens Funeral Services
Funeral Service 2:30 to 4:30 PM, Saturday, February 17, 2024 Dumas Community Center
Fact #2 : Tony Hutson’s Cause Of Death Was Not Revealed!
While many people are claiming that Tony Hutson died suddenly from a COVID-19 vaccine side effect, they have offered no evidence to back up their claims.
In fact, it is impossible for us, Joe Public, to know that, because Tony Hutson’s cause of death has not been revealed!
Tony Hutson could have died from any number of common causes of death in the United States – cancer, car accident, stroke, suicide, heart attack, cardiac arrest, and yes, COVID-19.
Until and unless his family, or the coroner’s office, announces his official cause of death, anyone who tells you that Tony Hutson die from this or that cause is likely lying to you.
Fact #3 : Unknown If Tony Hutson Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Despite claims or suggestions that Tony Hutson was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.
It is possible that Tony Hutson was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States.
After all, Tony Hutson retired from professional football in 2001 – more than 23 years ago! Even if he was still playing professional football, he would not have been required to get vaccinated – there was no vaccine mandate for players or coaches in the NFL!
Until and unless his family (or the authorities) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Tony Hutson was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Tony Hutson was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more than two years ago! He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination. Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did the British government secretly euthanise elderly hospital patients to boost COVID-19 deaths?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Britain Secretly Euthanised Elderly To Boost COVID Deaths!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that a new study showed that the British government secretly euthanised elderly hospital patients to boost COVID-19 deaths!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
New Study: British Gov’t Secretly Euthanized Elderly Hospital Patients To Boost ‘Covid Deaths’
A new study has revealed that tens of thousands of elderly British people were secretly euthanized by the state to boost the nation’s number of official Covid-19 deaths during the early days of the pandemic.
According to the preprint research study, elderly hospital patients were euthanized with a fatal injection of Midazolam, however the cause of death was listed as “COVID,” allowing the government to artificially inflate the number of Covid deaths and convince the public that the disease was far more dangerous than was actually the case.
Described as the “crime of the century,” the bombshell data from the report was released to the public by Australian politician Craig Kelly, the national director of the United Australia Party and former member of parliament.
The information suggests that a significant number of elderly individuals were allegedly killed through the administration of the end-of-life medication Midazolam.
According to Kelly, these deaths were inaccurately attributed to Covid, forming the basis for fear-inducing campaigns that justified lockdowns and the widespread administration of mRNA vaccines, an experimental medical intervention lacking long-term safety data, even in the case of children. Kelly made these statements in a post on X, accompanying receipts of the data.
Truth : Britain Did Not Euthanised Elderly To Boost COVID Deaths!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Paper Was Preprint Article
Let me start by pointing out that the paper that are being quoted is an article called Excess Deaths in the United Kingdom: Midazolam and Euthanasia in the COVID-19 Pandemic by Wilson Sy – an investment analyst.
This article does not appear to have undergone peer review. It’s listed as a preprint on ResearchGate, and was accepted for publication in Medical & Clinical Research (which charges $3,916 for each paper) in less than a week:
Submitted : 20 Jan 2024
Accepted : 25 Jan 2024
While that does not mean its findings are necessarily wrong, such preprint papers should not be relied upon as “established information”. It very much needs to be investigated, analysed, and verified.
Even the peer-review process is merely the first step in the scientific review process, which would be followed by replication, verification, and criticism by other researchers.
Fact #2 : Paper Does Not Show Deaths Caused By Midazolam
You might expect that the paper would at least show evidence for tens of thousands of deaths that were caused by Midazolam. Unfortunately, it shows nothing of the sort.
Did it look at death certificates or medical records to determine that those deaths were caused by Midazolam, and not COVID-19? No, that would be far too much work…
All it appears to do is try and prove some kind of correlation between excess deaths and the number of Midazolam injections in the United Kingdom. And when it could not show a correlation, it adjusted the chart temporally by one month, and voilà! that looks like correlation!
The only problem is – Midazolam is a short-acting drug, with a half-life of just 1.5 to 2.5 hours. It cannot possibly kill someone one month after injection!
Not only does this paper not show that any of the deaths were actually caused by Midazolam, it does not even show any correlation between Midazolam usage and excess deaths in the UK!
Midazolam is infamous for being used to execute people sentenced to death, as well as an end-of-life medication. However, it has far more common and less morbid uses.
Midazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine that is frequently used to sedate patients before they undergo surgeries, as well as medical /dental procedures. It is also used to treat prolonged seizures, or sedate agitated patients.
It is not surprising that Midazolam usage should spike during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it is one of the two most commonly-used drugs used to sedate patients in the ICU. It is also used to sedate patients before they are intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation.
Many of us may forget, but many ICUs were overwhelmed with patients who had to be intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, many hospital wards (and even parking lots!) were converted into temporary ICUs to accommodate the surge of patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
In fact, if you think about it – it makes sense for excess deaths to spike days, weeks, or months, after a spike in Midazolam usage. It would suggest that people were dying after receiving Midazolam while critically ill in the ICU, or being intubated for mechanical ventilation.
Fact #4 : Many Deaths From COVID-19 Were Confirmed
Just over 73,000 people died from COVID-19 in the United Kingdom in 2020, with the vast majority – 94.6% confirmed as “deaths due to COVID-19”.
Deaths listed as “Confirmed COVID-19” were confirmed through tests, while deaths that were clinically determined to be caused by COVID-19 were listed as “Suspected COVID-19” if no test was available at that time, or the test result was not conclusive (source).
Regardless of whether you believe that Midazolam had any hand in these deaths, one thing is for sure – the vast majority of these deaths were confirmed to have been caused by COVID-19.
Fact #5 : Many Critially-Ill COVID-19 Patients Died
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many critically-ill patients had to be intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation as they could no longer breathe on their own. Midazolam is used to sedate such critically-ill patients, so its use would go up with the number of critically-ill patients being treated in the ICU, or placed on mechanical ventilation.
Unfortunately, a large percentage of patients on ventilator died, with some hospitals reporting mortality rates of 50% to 97%. An early report on the mortality of patients on ventilator at three hospitals in Georgia showed that approximately 30% of patients dying after being ventilated, and another 8.5% remaining on ventilation.
Just because many of those patients died while in the ICU or on mechanical ventilation does not mean that those machines, or the oxygen they provided, caused their deaths. It certainly does not mean that the Midazolam they received for sedation killed them.
Fact #6 : Euthanasia Is Illegal In United Kingdom
Finally, I should point out that both euthanasia and assisted suicide are illegal throughout the United Kingdom, and can be prosecuted as murder or manslaughter.
Doctors in the UK can only assist their patients in hastening their deaths by withholding treatment and reducing pain, and even then, only when they feel that “death is only a few days away”.
Fact #7 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

أبو عمّار (Maajid Nawaz) :The CRIME OF THE CENTURY: Midazolam Murders – Euthanizing The Elderly
“If the data is correct, the only conclusion is that tens of thousands of elderly ENGLISH were MURDERED with an INJECTION of the end-of-life drug MIDAZOLAM.”
Andrew Bridgen MP :This report supports evidence I have been provided with over the last 12 months by relatives of those who were ‘treated’ under NG163And along the way, a small group pushing the need for mass mandated injections made billions.
Craig Kelly :THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY : THE MIDAZOLAM MURDERS
If the data is correct, the only conclusion is that tens of thousands of elderly English were murdered with an injection of the end of life drug Midazolam.
These deaths were then falsely blamed on Covid, which was the basis of the public fear campaigns used to justify the lockdowns and mass mandated injections of the public (including children) with an experimental medical intervention that had zero long term safety data.
And along the way, a small group pushing the need for mass mandated injections made billions.
Robin Monotti : ‘The Crime Of The Century: Midazolam Murders – Euthanizing The Elderly’
“You may recall the fact that during COVID, the elderly were forced to remain in hospitals, and, according to more reports, the doctors were using Midazolam to “treat” them, resulting in their deaths. This has also happened in nursing homes as well, and it’s definitely a scandal of enormous proportions that no one seems to address anymore.

Did US Navy JAG just hang WHO Assistant Director General Ihekweazu for promoting COVID-19 vaccines?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : JAG Hanged WHO Assistant DG Ihekweazu!
On 10 February 2024, Real Raw News posted an article (archive) claiming that US Navy JAG just hanged WHO Assistant Director General Ihekweazu for promoting COVID-19 vaccine mandates!
As usual, the article is (intentionally?) rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
JAG Hangs WHO Despot
Last week, the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps executed the WHO official who had surreptitiously entered the United States to discuss enacting fresh shelter-in-place and vaccine mandates with the CDC’s nefarious Rapid Response Team, GITMO sources told Real Raw News.
Dr. Chickwe Ihekweazu’s hanging took place on February 3, a day late, before a cadre of military brass and two unnamed conservative politicians who had arrived at Guantanamo Bay the previous day. As is typical for GITMO proceedings, Vice Adm. Darse E. Crandall oversaw Dr. Ihekweazu’s demise and had seemed stoically unemotional when two MPs in a hummer stopped at the foot of the gallows and dragged an impenitent Chickwe kicking and screaming from the vehicle. Ihekweazu’s cacophony of deceptive protestations echoed the sentiments of dozens of other despotic Deep Staters.
Atop the platform, the hangman slipped the noose around Ihekweazu’s neck and checked the tautness. Satisfied, he stepped backward, his hand hovering an inch from the button that, when pushed, would end Ihekweazu’s life.
“You are entitled to a final statement,” the admiral told the condemned.
“Let me live,” Ihekweazu shouted. “I promise you, killing me won’t stop mandates. Mandates are necessary. Destroy me, and another will fill my shoes. There is nothing you can do, any of you can do, to stop the inevitable,” he continued, sounding suddenly confident.
Our source said that JAG sent a video of Ihekweazu’s execution to the WHO’s headquarters in Geneva.
“Our message is clear: Any WHO in the U.S. will be arrested and tried. If they want to preach mandates and lethal so-called vaccines with snake venom, let them do it elsewhere. The United States is closed to the WHO, as far as we’re concerned.”
Truth : JAG Did Not Hang WHO Assistant DG Ihekweazu!
The truth is – this is just another fake story created by Real Raw News, just to generate page views and money.
Fact #1 : His Name Is Chikwe, Not Chickwe
The Real Raw News story wrongly identifies the WHO official in its story as Dr. Chickwe Ihekweazu. His real name is Chikwe Ihekweazu, not Chickwe Ihekweazu.
If it cannot even get his name right…
Fact #2 : Promoting Vaccines Is Not A Crime
Real Raw News claimed that Dr. Ihekweazu was hanged for apparently pushing vaccine mandates, and/or promoting COVID-19 vaccines. That’s just daft.
After all – neither promoting vaccine mandates, or COVID-19 vaccination, are crimes in the US military, or even in the United States.
Even if promoting vaccines and vaccine mandates are crimes in a hypothetical dystopian United States, they would not necessarily be capital crimes resulting in the death penalty.
Fact #3 : JAG Has No Powers Over Civilians
The Judge Advocate General’s Corps is the military justice branch of the American military. It has no powers or jurisdiction over civilians like Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu. The civilian justice system is separate from the military justice system. JAG officers can only prosecute US military service members.
Only in rare exceptions are JAG officers allowed to prosecute civilians. For example, if the civilian committed a crime on a military base, or while working in a foreign country and the local laws allow it. They can also prosecute civilians with special authority from the President, or Congress.
JAG officers are not law enforcement officers. They are really military lawyers, and have no powers to arrest anyone – not even military personnel.
They can investigate crimes, defend or prosecute service members accused of those crimes. But JAG officers cannot actually arrest anyone.
Fact #5 : Death Sentences Take Years To Execute
It is also hilarious that Real Raw News readers actually believe the bullshit that someone sentenced to death would be executed just days later.
That may be possible in a country like North Korea, but certainly not in the United States, where death row inmates wait an average of 178 months – about 15 years after their sentencing, before they are executed.
In fact, none of the six Gitmo inmates charged with capital crime in the 9/11 attacks in 2001, and the attack on USS Cole in 2000, have actually been trialled to date, never mind convicted and sentenced to death.
Fact #6 : US Military Has Not Executed Anyone Since 1961
Even though the US military has killed many combatants intentionally, and civilians as collateral damage, they have not executed prisoners since 1961.
There are four US military inmates on death row, but none of them have been executed so far.

Fact #7 : Real Raw News Is A Fake News Website
Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.
To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.
That disclaimer, which is not clearly mentioned in his articles, lets him keep creating fake news to go viral, and generate money.
His articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from his website. Here are some of his fake stories that I debunked earlier:

Did the WEF announce that racism is causing a massive rise in heart failure among African-Americans?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Racism Is Causing Heart Failure Among African Americans!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that the WEF just announced that racism is causing a massive rise in heart failure among African Americans.
Here is the long, and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
WEF: ‘Racism’ Is Causing Massive Rise In Heart Failure Among African Americans
The spike in heart attacks in the African-American community since 2021 is caused by “racism” according to so-called experts at the World Economic Forum-funded Mayo Clinic.
Heart attacks have soared around the world since 2021, with experts creatively blaming the spike on all manner of unlikely causes including being too happy, waking late on weekends, climate change, not wearing masks, gas stoves, video games and memes, and tiny particles in the air, among countless other bizarre excuses published by mainstream media in recent years.
Experts also tried to blame the rise in the number of professional footballers’ suffering cardiac arrests on referee’s whistles.
However, acording to Dr. LaPrincess Brewer of the Mayo Clinic, soaring hypertension rates in the African-American community are not due not to lifestyle decisions made by black people, or the Covid vaccine roll-out, but can be attributed to “systemic racism.”
Dr. Brewer is a medical doctor whose research “seeks to better elucidate the social determinants of cardiovascular health and how they contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in cardiovascular disease,” according to her Mayo Clinic bio.
The Mayo Clinic News Network reported that their so-called “experts” all concur with Dr. Brewer that “racism” is the reason that heart failure has skyrocketed in the past three years.
According to Brewer, racism in the US causes “food insecurity, housing insecurity, redlining, which really limits certain individuals from receiving opportunities and resources to better their health.”
The establishment is experiencing major problems explaining the massive increase in cardiovascular disease since the mRNA vaccines were unleashed on the world. Corporation-controlled media outlets, including some “conservatives,” blame everything from fluctuating weather patterns and daylight saving time to watching too much television and even too much sex.
Suddenly, all the normal things humans have been doing for eternity magically cause otherwise healthy people to have a heart attack or stroke, something that never happened before Operation Warp Speed.
The stakes are high, and those who caused the pandemic know their days are numbered. The more that is revealed, the harder they try to cover up the truth, even if their cover-ups are painful and patently false.
Truth : Racism Is Not Causing Heart Failure Among African Americans!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Heart Failure Is Not Heart Attack / Cardiac Arrest
It appears that The People’s Voice does not know the difference between a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, and hypertension. The article makes references to “the spike in heart attacks”, and appears to believe it’s the same thing as “heart failure”. It also appears to throw in cardiac arrest as if it’s related to heart failure.
All three conditions affect the heart, but are separate and different heart conditions:
a heart attack occurs when the heart does not receive enough blood supply
heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood properly, while
a cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating.
Anyone who does not understand the difference should not be writing about any one of those heart conditions…
Fact #2 : Mayo Clinic Was Talking About Hypertension, Not Heart Failure
The Mayo Clinic never attributed the “massive rise in heart failure among African Americans” to “racism, as alleged in the The People’s Voice article.
The quote by Dr. LaPrincess Brewer came from a Mayo Clinic article by Sonya Goins, which referred to the high hypertension rates in the Black American community.
She says elevated hypertension rates in the Black community can be attributed to various factors, including chronic stress, systemic racism and socioeconomic issues.
“That includes food insecurity, housing insecurity, redlining, which really limits certain individuals from receiving opportunities and resources to better their health,” explains Dr. Brewer.
Dr. Brewer says simple lifestyle changes can reduce high blood pressure and heart disease, like eating healthier, getting regular physical activity and adequate sleep to reduce stress.
As you can see, Dr. Brewer never mentioned heart failure, which is the inability of the heart to pump enough blood. She was talking about hypertension, which is high blood pressure.
Fact #3 : Racial Differences In Hypertension Were Studied For Decades
While The People’s Voice article appears to suggest that the rise in cardiovascular disease might be due to COVID-19 vaccines, the truth is – racial differences in hypertension have been studied for decades.
In fact, hypertension is known to be more common in the black community than other races. This has been reported in numerous studies and articles, long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented:
As you can clearly see – it has long been known and acknowledged that hypertension is particularly common among Black individuals.
Fact #4 : No Evidence WEF Funds Mayo Clinic
The People’s Voice article claimed that the Mayo Clinic is funded by the World Economic Forum (WEF), but provided no evidence to back that up.
I can find no evidence that the WEF funds the Mayo Clinic, which is a non-profit organisation which accepts funding from a wide variety of sources, but is also largely self-funded through its hospital system, and medical schools.
Even if the WEF somehow funds the Mayo Clinic, it is unlikely to amount to any significant amount – the Mayo Clinic’s 2022 research funding along exceeded $1 billion!
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did a study just show that COVID-19 vaccines killed 14x more people than they saved?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : COVID Vaccines Kill 14X More People Than They Saved!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that a study just showed that COVID-19 vaccines killed 14x more people than they saved!
Here is an excerpt from the long, and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Peer-Reviewed Study Finds Covid Vaccines Killed 14x More People Than They Saved
A new peer-reviewed study has confirmed what the eye-test suggested all along, proving that experimental Covid-19 mRNA vaccines killed far more people than they saved.
The study published in the prestigious Cureus journal analyzed reports from the initial phase 3 trials of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines that led to the shots being approved under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the United States.
However, the study found that efficacy rates for the vaccines were “dramatically lower” than the pharmaceutical companies claimed.
The research scientists behind the study have urged world governments to immediately cease and desist using Covid-19 mRNA vaccinations in their territories.
Based on “conservative assumptions, the estimated harms of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines greatly outweigh the rewards: for every life saved, there were nearly 14 times more deaths caused by the modified mRNA injections.”
“Given the well-documented SAEs (serious adverse events) and unacceptable harm-to-reward ratio, we urge governments to endorse and enforce a global moratorium on these modified mRNA products until all relevant questions pertaining to causality, residual DNA, and aberrant protein production are answered.”
Truth : COVID Vaccines Did Not Kill 14X More People Than They Saved!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Study Did Not Show 14X More People Died From Vaccines
Let me just start by pointing out that the study, which is called “COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines: Lessons Learned from the Registrational Trials and Global Vaccination Campaign” by Mead et. al. (archive), did not show that the COVID vaccines killed 14X more people than they saved.
Fact #2 : Cureus Relies On Post-Publication Peer Review
The People’s Voice article took great pains to point out that the paper was “peer-reviewed”, probably to suggest that it should be taken seriously. That’s not exactly accurate.
Even though this paper was marked as “peer-reviewed”, the peer review process at Cureus is “unusually fast” at just a few days. That’s because the journal Cureus relies on “post-publication peer review“, as its Editor in Chief John R. Adler explained to Retraction Watch in 2015:
Yes, Cureus has an unusually fast review process, which is an important part of the journal’s philosophy. We believe that post publication peer review, a focus of our journal through commenting and our unique SIQ process, is potentially a more powerful way to discern truth.
In other words – the pre-publication peer review appears to be superficial, and Cureus relies on the scientific community to peer-review the papers after publication.
Even if the paper was properly peer-reviewed by a prestigious journal, that would only be the first step in the scientific review process, which would include replication and verification, as well as criticism by other members of the scientific community.
The paper in question is a literature review, and was penned by notable anti-vaccine activists like Jessica Rose, Steve Kirsch, and Peter McCullough. You may note that some of the authors are not even scientists or were trained in medicine.
While it is being heralded as something new, the paper appears to be nothing more than a regurgitation of long-debunked claims about mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. It certainly offers no evidence to back up their claim for a vaccine moratorium. Let’s just take a look at a few:
COVID-19 Vaccine Clinical Trials Were Too Short?!
The paper claimed that no vaccine was permitted for market release without a testing period of at least four years, using the mumps vaccine by Merck as example. That’s not true.
The Mumpsvax (Jeryl Lynn strain) vaccine was developed and approved in a record four years, but its testing did not last four years. The mumps vaccine clinical trial in 1966 (abstract) only lasted 6 months.
This paper gives the results of a large field trial of the vaccine conducted among schoolchildren in North Carolina.
Vaccination was carried out in November 1966, every tenth child receiving a placebo preparation. Serum specimens were obtained at the time of vaccination and 4 weeks later from 556 children representing a cross-section of the total group of participants.
During the 180 days of post-vaccination surveillance, 56 cases of mumps were reported among the study population and 69 cases among non-participants.
There is no requirement by health authorities that testing or assessing any vaccine should last 10 years. The typical vaccine development time of 10-15 years is not a reflection of how much time a clinical trial needs to run, but rather the time it “generally” takes to create a vaccine, gather resources, get approvals, run clinical trials, process the data, file for approval, etc.
COVID-19 vaccines were so quickly developed because scientists all over the world collaborated on the effort, while governments funded their development, and fast-tracked their clinical trials and manufacturing preparations.
The speedy development of COVID-19 vaccines was also enabled by new vaccine platforms using mRNA or DNA technologies, in which genetic information from the new virus only needed to be “plugged in” to produce a new vaccine.
More importantly – the paper provided no evidence that the accelerated development of COVID-19 vaccines has actually resulted in unsafe vaccines.
mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Were Not Proven Safe / Effective?
The Mead et. al. paper claimed or suggested that the clinical trials did not show that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were safe or effective because too few people in the unvaccinated (placebo) group died from COVID-19.
Well, not only is that a “misunderstanding” of the clinical trial results (see the next section), many studies have been conducted into the safety and efficacy of the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 since they were deployed.
Those real world studies (example, example, example) consistently showed that the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 are safe and effective.
Low Absolute Risk Shows No Need To Vaccinate?!
The Mead et. al. paper repeats the old trope that the low absolute risk (AR) seen in the mRNA vaccine clinical trials mean there is no need for anyone to get vaccinated. That’s simply not true, and is a (deliberate?) misunderstanding of statistical calculations.
The Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) will “always appear low” because it depends very much on the “event rate”. As the Meedan Health Desk explained:
Let’s say a study enrolled 20,000 patients into the control group and 20,000 in the vaccine group. In that study, 200 people in the control group got sick and 0 people in the vaccine group got sick.
Even though the vaccine efficacy would be a whopping 100%, the ARR would show that vaccines reduce the absolute risk by just 1% (200/20,000= 1%).
For the ARR to increase to 20% in our example study with a vaccine with 100% efficacy, 4,000 of the 20,000 people in the control group would have to get sick (4,000/20,000= 20%).
Hence, the Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) is used instead to determine a vaccine’s efficacy, because it tells us how much risk is reduced in the vaccinated group, compared to the unvaccinated control group.
To be clear – the clinical trials and post-vaccination monitoring and studies have clearly shown that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are effective in preventing severe disease and deaths from COVID-19.
The Mead et. al. paper claimed that the CDC said that “COVID-19 products would stop transmission”, but in the end “COVID-19 mRNA products do not prevent transmission or infection”. Well, that’s not really true.
For one thing – the CDC never said that COVID-19 vaccines would stop transmission. In fact, the CDC article the paper linked to only said that the vaccines appear to reduce (not stop) transmission:
… a growing body of evidence suggests that COVID-19 vaccines also reduce asymptomatic infection and transmission.
To be clear – the COVID-19 vaccines were primarily designed to reduce or prevent severe disease and death, which is why transmission for not an endpoint for their clinical trials. It would have been a nice bonus to block transmission completely, but partially reducing transmission is not too bad.
mRNA Vaccines Have A Lot Of AESIs?!
The Mead et. al. paper warns us about the many Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) reported after COVID-19 vaccinations. The problem is – those AESI are not actual vaccine side effects!
The AESI list for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for example has 9 pages of 1,291 adverse events, but that is not a list of the mRNA vaccine side effects. It is a list of “adverse events” that Pfizer must look for during the post-vaccination monitoring period. Not only are these “adverse events” not specific to the Pfizer mRNA vaccine, they include:
diseases like Herpes, MERS, Varicella, and other “communicable disease”,
exposure to SARS-CoV-2,
manufacturing and lab test issues, and even…
product availability and supply issues!
Needless to say – those adverse events are not vaccine side effects, or are any indication of vaccine performance or safety in any way.
The Mead et. al. paper also claimed that two large drug safety reporting systems in the US and Europe have over 7.8 million reports of adverse events, with “death, hospitalisations, and life-threatening reactions”. It is probably referring to VAERS and EudraVigilance.
The thing is – VAERS / Yellow Card / EudraVigilance data are all unverified, and may contain duplicated information. That’s why they are all prefaced with warnings like:
they may contain duplicated information and/or reports
the reported event may be caused by an illness, like a COVID-19 infection for example,
the reported event may be caused by a different drug taken by the patient at the same time
they have not been assessed by health authorities to ascertain if it’s even “biologically plausible”
In addition, open systems like VAERS, or the UK Yellow Card system, are very susceptible to abuse because they allow anyone from anywhere to post anything they want, without evidence or verification.
Anti-vaccination activists can, for example, key in unlimited numbers of adverse reaction reports, even if they never received a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine!
Autopsy Reports Show Deaths Caused By Vaccines?!
The Mead et. al. paper claimed that “autopsy studies” showed that 74% of deaths were “judged to have been caused by the COVID-19 mRNA products”.
The problem is – the study it referred to was a preprint by one of its own authors – Peter McCullough, that was removed by The Lancet for violating its “screening criteria”.
This preprint has been removed by Preprints with The Lancet because the study’s conclusions are not supported by the study methodology. Preprints with The Lancet reserves the right to remove a paper that has been posted if we determine that it has violated our screening criteria.
Not only was that study just a “review” of autopsy reports, many of the cases had other far more likely causes of death.
The paper suggested that the mRNA vaccines are contaminated with DNA “orders of magnitude higher than the EMA’s limit”.
The truth is – residual DNA is found in all biological products manufactured using cells, and has not shown any health risk after being studied for many decades.
Pfizer Vaccine Has DNA From SV40 Virus That Causes Cancer?!
The paper also warned about the Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter found in samples of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. Why? Because it warns – the SV40 virus “induces lymphomas, brain tumors, and other malignancies in laboratory animals”.
First of all – after decades of studies, there is still no conclusive evidence that the SV40 virus can cause cancers in humans. However, out of an abundance of caution, the SV40 virus is considered to potentially cause cancer in humans.
In any case, the SV40 promoter is a DNA sequence that is often used to manufacture mRNA, and is not dangerous. It certainly poses no cancer risk, because the part of the SV40 that can potentially cause cancer – the T-antigen, is not present in the SV40 promoter, or the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
