SOLAS---MY PEDIATRICIAN DISCHARGED MY KIDS BECAUSE I OBJECTED TO GENDER IDEOLOGY

Story by Nicole Solas --didn’t know that asking for an exam room free from sexualization and gender ideology would cause my pediatrician to discharge my kids from her care....My now-former pediatrician installed on the wall of every exam room a “Safe Zone” rainbow triangle sticker with the words “sexual orientation,” “gender expression,” and “gender identity.”  MORE AT SOLAS: My Pediatrician Discharged My Kids Because I Objected To Gender Ideology (msn.com)

THE REAL DATA BEHIND THE NEW COVID VACCINES THE WHITE HOUSE IS PUSHING

The real data behind the new COVID vaccines the White House is pushing

Published Sep. 14, 2023, 9:02 p.m. ET----What if I told you one in 50 people who took a new medication had a “medically attended adverse event” and the manufacturer refused to disclose what exactly the complication was — would you take it?

And what if the theoretical benefit was only transient, lasting about three months, after which your susceptibility goes back to baseline?

And what if we told you the Food and Drug Administration cleared it without any human-outcomes data and European regulators are not universally recommending it as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is?

That’s what we know about the new COVID vaccine the Biden administration is firmly recommending for every American 6 months old and up.

The push is so hard that former White House COVID coordinator Ashish Jha and CDC head Mandy Cohen are making unsupported claims the new vaccine reduces hospitalizations. long COVID and the likelihood you will spread COVID.

None of those claims has a shred of scientific support. READ THE REST OF THE VERY DETAILED ARTICLE AT The real data behind the new COVID vaccines the White House is pushing (nypost.com)
