ANOTHER MAJOR STUDY SHOWS THAT THE MRNAs RAISE THE RISK OF CORONAVIRUS INFECTION

Another major study shows the mRNAs raise the risk of coronavirus infection---The study, from Italian researchers, also contained very disturbing news for people who have taken three or more Moderna jabs.

ALEX BERENSON

People who received at least one Covid jab were about 30 percent more likely to be infected with Sars-Cov-2 than the unvaccinated, Italian researchers report.

The Italian study is the most comprehensive yet to show Covid shots raise the risk of infection. After the Omicron variant appeared, the shots performed even worse, with the jabbed at about 50 percent higher risk.

The peer-reviewed study also contained a surprising and frightening finding for people who have taken three or more Moderna mRNA jabs.   MORE HERE 

PHOTOS & MORE, THE 2023 CROTON YACHT CLUB VETERANS DAY LUNCHEON

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short EVERYTHING CROTON Croton.

(Click on the photos.)

On Friday, November 10 th, the Croton Yacht Club held its annual Veterans Day Luncheon. Over one hundred guests were treated to a delicious Thanksgiving themed lunch prepared by Yacht Club members. The event was initiated by the Croton Harmon High School band who flawlessly performed numerous patriotic songs. Boy Scouts greeted the Veterans as they arrived and catered to their every need during the day.

Special thanks are extended to BJ’s Wholesale Club of Yorktown for their generous donation and North Westchester Restorative Therapy who donated a beautiful cake.

Hundreds of cards decorated the room, each beautifully hand colored and filled with both moving and comical sentiments from Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School students. Special thanks are extended to the Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School teachers who coordinate this effort annually.

The love and appreciation expressed in these cards along with that exhibited by the Scouts who were present was uplifting and gives us hope that future generations will never forget the sacrifices made by our Veterans to secure the freedoms we all enjoy. Special thanks to the parents and teachers who have instilled this sense of patriotism in our children and grandchildren.

Many thanks to everyone who made the day so special for our local heroes.

Two groups plan rallies this week

Tuesday opponents of expanded fracked gas gather at Indian Point; Wednesday activists meet at Gazebo to protest Rep. Lawler’s recent votes

November 13, 2023

On Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. activists will rally outside the shuttered Indian Point nuclear plant in Buchanan in protest of the latest proposed Algonquin Pipeline Expansion in the area.

The protest will occur blocks from where, in 2016, three activists were arrested for blocking the last Algonquin Pipeline expansion of an added 42-inch high-pressure pipeline. In addition, two older 30-inch and 26-inch pipelines run underneath the plant. Decommissioning at Indian Point houses over 2,000 tons of irradiated fuel rods in addition to other radioactive waste.

Protestors will call on Governor Hochul to stop pipeline owner Enbridge’s latest “Project Maple” proposal. READ MORE AT Two groups plan rallies this week – Peekskill Herald

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short EVERYTHING CROTON Croton.

Update: New owners of Finkelstein property refuse to tell Croton about their long-term plans.

One thing seems sure: These major New York companies did not buy this strategic property to keep on leasing it to a tire company, even if that is the plan for now.

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — Service on Amtrak between New York City and Croton-Harmon has been temporarily suspended.

The reason for the suspension, officials said, is because of a hole in a deteriorating parking deck.

“Due to safety concerns stemming from structure issues of a non-Amtrak, privately owned building above the Empire Line tracks in New York City, Amtrak service is suspended between Croton-Harmon (CRT) and New York City (NYP),”---read more at Amtrak Service Suspended Between NYC and Croton-Harmon | Ossining, NY Patch

IN THE NEWS---COVID-19 VACCINE RECKONING IS COMING FOR THE DOJ OVER FEDERAL GOV MANDATES

The unaccountable, understaffed government tribunal that presides over the so-called Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), for vaccines administered under emergency measures, is a “kangaroo court,” says the lawsuit filed by attorney Aaron Siri, partner at New York firm Siri & Glimstad.

“The CICP is akin to a Potemkin village . . . an elaborate façade designed to hide an undesirable reality.

“Claims are consistently lost, ignored, denied, or caught up in the years-long purgatory of government bureaucracy. The compensation, if any, is neither timely nor adequate.”

Just six people had been compensated by October this year, of more than 12,775 COVID injury claims submitted to the CICP since Jan. 31, 2020, when the Trump administration declared a public health emergency.

Those lucky people reportedly received an average of $2,148 each.

Of the 1,800 decisions made by the CICP, just 72 have been found eligible for compensation. Another 1,728 have been denied.

That means 96 percent of claims are unsuccessful, and just 14 percent of total claims have even been adjudicated. READ MORE AT https://nypost.com/2023/11/12/opinion/a-covid-19-vaccine-reckoning-is-coming-for-the-doj-over-federal-gov-mandates/
