THE FDA AND VACCINE MANUFACTURERS REFUSE TO SHOW US THEIR WORK---DAVID GORTLER

When it comes to mRNA injections for Covid, Americans are 100% dependent on the FDA and vaccine manufacturers to assess and confirm purity and consistency. That might be okay if the testing methodologies that manufacturers and the FDA were still fully transparent, but they’re not anymore.

Not only are the test results confidential, even the methodology used hasn’t been made public. The world just has to take manufacturers’ word that there’s no contamination or variability with the mRNA sequence or its lipid nanoparticle components – even though published epidemiology data indicate otherwise.

Secrecy abounds despite the vaccine manufacturers receiving billions of US taxpayer dollars to conduct their R&D efforts. Transparency should be nonpartisan, especially when it comes to the quality of America’s pharmaceuticals.  MORE AT The FDA and Vaccine Manufacturers Refuse to Show Us Their Work ⋆ Brownstone Institute

IN THE NEWS---MIDDLE SCHOOLER'S CASE ABOUT "ONLY TWO GENDERS" SHIRT GOES IN FRONT OF FEDERAL APPEALS COURT

BOSTON — The lawyer for a local student who was not allowed to wear an “only two genders” shirt to school argued for the middle schooler’s First Amendment rights on Thursday, telling a federal appeals court that the school district censored and “silenced” the youngster.

Middleboro student Liam Morrison, now in 8th grade, last year was banned by school officials from wearing a shirt to school that read, “There are only two genders.” The 7th grader then wore a shirt that stated, “There are censored genders,” and again, he was ordered to take off the shirt.

His lawyer from Alliance Defending Freedom brought his federal free speech lawsuit in front of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit in Boston on Thursday.  The Middleboro school district each year celebrates Pride month, hanging Pride flags and sending the message that there are “an unlimited number of genders,” noted ADF Senior Counsel and VP of U.S. Litigation David Cortman in front of the appeals court.

In response to the school’s view, Liam wore the controversial shirt to Nichols Middle School last year. MORE AT Massachusetts middle schooler’s case about ‘only two genders’ shirt goes in front of federal appeals court (msn.com)

STUDY CLAIMS HARMS OF COVID-19 VACCINES "PROFOUNDLY OUTWEIGHED" BENEFITS, CALLS FOR MORATORIUM

Study claims harms of COVID-19 vaccines 'profoundly outweighed' benefits; calls for moratorium on mRNA shots

JOSEPH MACKINNON

FEBRUARY 07, 2024===A new peer-reviewed study in a Springer Nature Group journal has painted a damning picture of the global COVID-19 vaccination campaign along with the novel mRNA products at its core — vaccines millions of Americans were compelled to take if they wanted to keep their jobs, eat in public, stay in school, remain in uniform, or visit their loved ones.

According to the study, published on Jan. 24 in the PubMed-listed open access journal Cureus, standards were dropped, corners were cut, and red flags were missed in the testing, authorization, and ultimate deployment of the COVID-19 vaccines. The result: a product with an "unacceptable harm-to-reward ratio."
