February 2 – A study is published in Vaccine titled, “COVID-19 vaccination during or just prior to pregnancy and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.” Using data from the CDC’s COVID-19 Vaccine Pregnancy Registry (C19VPR) and the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, researchers compared 8,000 vaccinated pregnant women to 8,000 unvaccinated pregnant women and found “a 24% higher risk of reporting HDP [hypertensive disorders of pregnancy], defined as high blood pressure that started during this pregnancy or pre-eclampsia [a complication occurring after 20 weeks], in the registry cohort… Among the matched pairs with COVID-19 illness during pregnancy data available, we also observed a 28% increase in the risk of HDP among participants reporting COVID-19 illness in pregnancy compared with those reporting no COVID-19 illness in pregnancy. Most previous studies have not reported statistically significant risks of HDP among women who received the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy compared to pregnant women who did not receive the COVID-19 vaccine; however, point estimates in several studies were elevated… Therefore, our study is not the first to identify a higher risk of HDP among COVID-19-vaccinated pregnant women. However, specific types of COVID-19 vaccines received, the time interval between receipt of vaccination and pregnancy, and the ability to account for potential confounding differed by study…
“Several methodological differences between our study and previous studies may contribute to the modestly different findings… C19VPR included participants vaccinated prior to pregnancy and in the first trimester, whereas the majority of previous studies included mostly women vaccinated in the second and third trimesters. Although we found no statistically significant difference in risk by timing of vaccination, earlier vaccination allowed more time for hypertension to develop and opportunities to be diagnosed with vaccination occurring earlier in pregnancy… [T]he three prior U.S.-based studies relied on electronic medical records to ascertain HDP diagnosis, whereas we used self-reported data, which may be subject to higher rates of misclassification… [T]he question asked of participants in this study (whether they had high blood pressure that started during pregnancy or pre-eclampsia) did not allow us to differentiate participants’ HDP diagnoses by severity. In contrast, other studies have examined clinical subcategories of HDP to assess associations based on diagnostic severity… If COVID-19 vaccination is associated with HDP, it is possible that exclusion of participants vaccinated early in pregnancy with subsequent hypertension onset prior to 20 weeks in these other studies could have underestimated the risk of HDP.”
The researchers go on to explain how the components of various COVID vaccines may cause HDP in different ways based on how they interact with the body, as well as several study limitations. Setting the limitations aside, these findings are significant, especially because they pertain to a vulnerable segment of the population. As Nic Hulscher points out in his breakdown of the study, “[t]hese disorders – which include gestational hypertension and preeclampsia – are a leading cause of maternal and fetal death worldwide. The association was statistically significant, persisted in sensitivity analyses, and remained after adjustment for multiple confounders. The absolute difference observed was 3 percentage points. That means roughly 1 additional case of hypertensive pregnancy complications for every 33 vaccinated pregnancies. If even 40-60 million pregnant women worldwide received COVID-19 vaccination during the global rollout period, a 3% absolute increase would translate into an estimated 1.2 to 1.8 million additional cases of hypertensive pregnancy complications globally…
“Hypertensive disorders are not benign. They increase the risk of preterm birth, NICU admission, emergency induction, C-section, long-term maternal cardiovascular disease, and in severe cases, maternal and fetal death. Even in well-resourced settings, these conditions significantly alter pregnancy outcomes. The study also found that COVID-19 illness during pregnancy carried a similar magnitude of risk (adjusted RR 1.28). It is not known what the risk would be if a mother were both infected and vaccinated – but it is likely higher than either exposure alone. Pregnant women were told these genetic products were safe. And now, the CDC itself has identified a statistically significant elevation in one of the most serious obstetric complications.”

February 2 (entry 2) – A study is published in Zenodo titled, “Unprecedented Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination.” Researchers from the McCullough Foundation, Neo7Bioscience, a German municipal hospital, and several independent laboratories worked to produce what Nic Hulscher, one of the study’s authors, is calling “the most comprehensive COVID-19 vaccine injury case report to date involving >40 emergency department visits, >200 specialist encounters across 18 medical disciplines, >100 laboratory investigations, >100 imaging studies, and serial blood and tissue sampling performed at multiple timepoints over more than 3.5 years… The findings reveal longitudinal molecular evidence that vaccine-derived mRNA, plasmid DNA fragments, and spike protein can persist in human blood and tissue more than 3.5 years after vaccination – independently confirmed across multiple laboratories using diverse analytical methods.”
In the study, researchers present evidence of “the longest reported in vivo persistence of vaccine-derived mRNA, plasmid DNA fragments, and spike protein following mRNA vaccination, with reproducible detection across multiple independent laboratories, distinct biological compartments, and complementary molecular detection systems extending beyond 3.5 years after the final dose. Spike protein, spike mRNA sequences, and plasmid backbone elements were identified in both immune cells and somatic tissue, with continued absence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein or antibodies, effectively excluding prior infection as the source. The convergence of these observations across longitudinal blood and tissue sampling provides direct evidence that mRNA vaccine-derived genetic material and its translated protein products can persist in vivo for years following administration… These data challenge prevailing assumptions regarding rapid degradation and short-lived biological activity of mRNA vaccine components and underscore the need for controlled longitudinal studies to determine prevalence, mechanisms, and clinical consequences of persistent vaccine-derived material.” Check out the full study for details regarding diagnostic evaluation and methodology.
February 2 (entry 3) – Natalie Winters publishes an article at her Substack titled, “WHO Just Ran A Simulation For The ‘Next Pandemic.’ 31 Governments Took Part.” Winters wrote in part, “In December 2025, the World Health Organization quietly coordinated a large-scale pandemic simulation across the Western Pacific region. The exercise, known as IHR Exercise CRYSTAL, involved 31 countries and areas and was framed by WHO itself as ‘getting ready for the next pandemic.’ …According to WHO’s regional release, CRYSTAL ran over several weeks in December and simulated the emergence of a novel respiratory illness with the potential for international spread. Participating governments were not asked to discuss theory. They were asked to respond in real time to alerts, verify information, conduct risk assessments, and coordinate actions across agencies… WHO did not describe the drill as preparation for a hypothetical scenario. It repeatedly referred to readiness for ‘the next pandemic.’ …CRYSTAL is not the first time global institutions have run pandemic simulations using realistic respiratory virus scenarios…
“In October 2019, just weeks before COVID-19 was publicly identified, Event 201 was held in New York. That exercise was organized by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Event 201 simulated a novel coronavirus pandemic, focusing on government coordination, public messaging, economic disruption, and supply-chain breakdowns. Like CRYSTAL, it was presented as fictional. Like CRYSTAL, it treated a global respiratory pandemic as an expected future event. The difference is scale and authority. Event 201 was a one-time tabletop exercise involving experts and institutions. CRYSTAL was run directly through WHO, involved dozens of governments, and was conducted as part of a recurring regional simulation program tied to international legal obligations under the IHR.” I’m not sure how this slipped through the cracks… Until now, I really haven’t seen any reporting on it. Nevertheless, it is quite concerning, especially when considering how closely Event 201 aligned with real world events back in 2019. Could the Trump 2.0 administration end up being hit with yet another plannedemic?
Why are half of these people wearing face diapers? It’s almost like they can’t wait for a new pandemic to begin…
- Investigative journalist and senior advisor for MAHA Action Sayer Ji publishes a lengthy article at his Substack titled, “The Epstein Files Illuminate a 20-Year Architecture Behind Pandemics as a Business Model – With Bill Gates at the Center of the Network.” According to Ji, the Epstein files contain “internal emails, financial agreements, text messages, and planning documents – particularly from the 2011-2019 period, when many of these systems moved from conceptual to operational – [showing] that pandemics and vaccines were already being treated as standing financial and strategic categories. Investment vehicles, donor-advised fund structures, simulation programs, and reinsurance products were not improvised in response to crisis; they were refined and expanded within an architecture whose foundations predate the COVID-19 era by more than a decade.” The detailed piece analyzes communications between Epstein and a host of powerful players representing various financial interests throughout the world, and is much too long to summarize in this entry. Update (2/22/26): Elliot Overton publishes a 12-minute video summarizing some of Ji’s findings. While the presentation doesn’t cover everything in the linked article, it’s a decent breakdown. Ji has also written at least a dozen other articles about the revelations coming out of the Epstein files, which can be found here.
One of the emails Ji analyzed showing profit was the goal of “charitable” work.
February 5 – During an appearance on National Panhandler Radio’s Wild Card podcast, Melinda French Gates throws her ex-husband and fellow depopulation enthusiast Bill Gates under the bus for appearing in newly-released documents related to the supposedly-dead and disgraced sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. Gates told host Rachel Martin, “I think we’re having a reckoning as a society, right? No girl… should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with all of the various people around him… It’s beyond heartbreaking. I remember being those ages… I remember my daughters being those ages… So, for me, it’s personally hard whenever those details come up… because it brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage… I purposely pushed it away, and I moved on. I’m in a really unexpected, beautiful place in my life. So whatever questions remain there of what, I don’t- can’t even begin to know all of it, those questions are for those people and even my ex-husband. They need to answer to those things, not me.”
When pressed further to respond specifically to the possibility of Bill wanting to acquire drugs to treat her unknowingly for an STD she may or may not have had, and how the revelations made her feel, Gates said, “Sad. Just unbelievable sadness… I left my marriage. I had to leave my marriage. I wanted to leave my marriage. I felt I eventually needed to leave the foundation, so it’s just sad.” Setting aside the fact that I have undoubtedly become quite cynical over the years, something seems off about the way Gates responds to these questions whenever asked, almost as if she knew more than she is letting on. Maybe not in regard to Epstein’s (and possibly Bill’s) involvement with underage girls, but definitely in regard to Bill’s repeated impropriety. In other words, she knew what he was into and turned a blind eye to it. Her repeated use of the word “right” also raises red flags with me because it comes off as a way to manipulate the person asking the questions (and the viewers) into siding with her, and fully buying into the idea she was just an innocent victim in all of this… Also see this.
Update (2/25/26): According to the British Brainwashing Corporation, “Bill Gates ‘took responsibility for his actions’ and addressed his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a meeting with staff from his charitable foundation, the organisation said… Gates has come under renewed scrutiny over his relationship with Epstein following the release of files by the US Department of Justice in January. The Microsoft co-founder, 70, has not been accused of wrongdoing by any of Epstein’s victims… ‘I apologise to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made,’ he told staff, according to [the Wall Street Jingo], which said it had reviewed a recording of Gates’s remarks… Gates told the foundation’s staff he met Epstein in 2011 – years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution – adding that he said he was aware of some ‘18-month thing’ that had limited Epstein’s travel, but that he didn’t properly check his background… He continued to meet Epstein through 2014, and spent time with him abroad, he reportedly said, adding that he ‘never stayed overnight’ or visited Epstein’s island. The relationship continued even after his ex-wife expressed doubts, he is reported to have said, adding: ‘To give her credit, she was always kind of skeptical about the Epstein thing.’”
- The White House announces the launch of TrumpRx, a website where “patients will be able to access large discounts on many of the most popular and highest-priced medicines in the country, paying prices in line with the lowest paid by other developed nations (known as the most-favored-nation, or MFN, price)… As of today, patients purchasing directly through TrumpRx.gov will be able to see massive price reductions on 40 of the most popular and expensive branded medicines in the nation… President Trump is delivering on promises to ensure American patients no longer pay high prices to subsidize low prices in the rest of the world, something the political establishment did not believe was possible.”
February 6 – Following the changes made by the CDC to the childhood vaccine schedule early last month, the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) releases the findings of a poll claiming, “the public’s trust in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) remains at its lowest point… Fewer than half (47%) now say that they trust the agency at least ‘a fair amount’ to provide reliable vaccine information, similar to the share who said the same in September, but down more than 10 percentage points since the beginning of the second Trump administration, and continuing a downward trend first measured during the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent decline reflects falling confidence among Democrats. Slightly more than half (55%) of Democrats now say they trust the CDC on vaccines, down from 64% September. About 4 in 10 Republicans say they trust the CDC for vaccine information, similar to the share who said the same a few months ago and in 2023, but fewer than half as many as said [sic]they trusted the CDC on the coronavirus back in 2020… Democrats and independents largely expect the changes to hurt children’s health, while Republicans and supporters of the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ (MAHA) movement largely expect it to improve children’s health.”
The article also includes a quote from the KFF President and CEO, Drew Altman, who said, “[s]ix years ago, 85% of Americans, and 90% of Republicans, trusted the CDC. Now less than half trust the CDC on vaccines. The wars over COVID, science, and vaccines have left the country without a trusted national voice on vaccines, and that trust will take time to restore.” What’s going on here is quite simple… The corrupt American medical establishment, along with pharma lackey non-profits like KFF, are trying to pin the lack of trust they caused during the COVID saga on RFK and the MAHA movement. They pushed for the lockdown of society, they pushed to close the schools, they pushed people to wear filthy bacteria traps on their faces, and they forced the unproven and deadly COVID clot shots on a fearful and unwitting public (they were also the ones who caused the public’s undue COVID fear and lack of awareness to begin with)… Now that people have become wise to their games and understand how our agents of public health are motivated more by profit than actually helping people, they are trying to scapegoat MAHA and act as if they have been the sane ones all along. They have not. Moreover, the incessant, pharma-aligned media propaganda has caused many people to wrongly believe the changes happening within agencies like HHS and the CDC are bad things, when, in fact, the opposite is true.
In the end, polls like this are nothing more than a self-fulfilling prophecy… 1) Former public health miscreants and their minions like the people at KFF spread lies in an attempt to make people fearful about the changes occurring at our public health agencies, 2) After the lies are spread far and wide, they turn around and ask the people who bought into their bullshit how they are feeling, and 3) The public provides them with the “lack of trust” they were creating all along… If we take a closer look at Altman’s quote, he is essentially admitting how “six years ago” – when COVID first hit the US – public trust was much higher, and it was the handling of COVID by our public health agencies that caused the trust to erode. KFF can spin up whatever nonsense they want to whip people even further into a frenzy, but informed people know who is responsible, and it isn’t RFK or Jay Bhattacharya or Marty Makary… It’s them.

- The Small Business Administration announces they have “suspended 111,620 [Commiefornia] borrowers amid suspected fraudulent activity across SBA [Small Business Administration] pandemic-era loan programs. In total, these borrowers received 118,489 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) loans totaling over $8.6 billion… Since Day One, the Trump SBA has worked to crack down on an estimated $200 billion in pandemic era-fraud that went unaddressed during the Biden Administration. The agency recently partnered with Palantir to expand the nationwide investigation into PPP and EIDL abuse, and continues to coordinate with federal law enforcement partners to pursue recoveries, civil penalties, and criminal sentences where appropriate. The agency will also continue to partner with the SBA Office of Inspector General (OIG) to pursue additional potential fraud in California and in states across the nation.”
- New York State Governor Kathy Hochul signs the Medical Aid in Dying Act, making NYS the 14th jurisdiction (13 states plus D.C.) to allow “eligible terminally ill adults to seek a prescription for medication they may choose to self-ingest to bring about a peaceful death if their suffering becomes too great.” The law is set to go into effect August 5th, 2026… and just like that, the slippery slope gets another grease bath.
February 7 – Bill Rice Jr. publishes an article at his Substack titled, “Smoking-gun evidence of a conspiracy to conceal evidence of Early Spread.” The article includes the testimonial of a South Carolina man named John Perry who caught COVID in early January of 2020 while working in Millers Creek, North Carolina (his case was subsequently confirmed in March when he tested positive for antibodies). At the time, and unbeknownst to him, his case was entered into “some kind of COVID Date Base” by the internist who treated him. Months later, after he recovered, the man received phone calls from both the SC and NC departments of health asking for details about when and where he got sick. When he asked the woman calling from NC what the inquiries were about, he was told “they were tracing-back the NC outbreak possibly to Boone, NC and she even went as far as to tell me a couple of the female U.S. ski team members had been training in China but had returned in time for Christmas (of 2019) and had gone to various places… two of them to Boone, just a few miles away from Millers Creek.”
This is significant, because as Rice points out in his article, “if Mr. Perry’s case was ‘confirmed’ as Covid, Mr. Perry could have been considered the first confirmed case in America. So this was not just a run-of-the-mill case of Covid. It was a case that, if confirmed, should have made headlines around the world. The Covid data base [sic] was clearly created or monitored by officials with at least two state health agencies – the South Carolina Department of Public Health and the North Carolina Department of Health. Simple deduction says these agencies were investigating or very interested in details about likely or possible early Covid cases in America… Regarding a possible conspiracy to conceal evidence of early spread, I’ve repeatedly highlighted excerpts from a CDC press conference [in May of 2020]where CDC director Robert Redfield and other CDC officials dismissed the possibility of community spread in America before mid-January 2020… As this story reveals, there was extensive evidence, or ‘indications,’ of early cases in America as Mr. Perry’s testimonial (and my early-spread research) reveals. Also, the phone calls Mr. Perry received from public health officials investigating early spread in America occurred before this press conference.”
Now might also be a good time to mention that I too got hit with a respiratory illness back in January of 2020. From what I remember, the main symptom I experienced was shortness of breath, which I thought might have been related to daily exposure to a pool I wasn’t normally around, and which reeked of chlorine. When I eventually went to see a doctor (probably about a week after becoming short of breath), I was told there was “something going around,” but they weren’t sure what it was. I also remember being given prescriptions for antibiotics and steroids before being sent on my way (I ended up not taking either). Fast forward to December of 2020… Days before Christmas, I was “confirmed” to have COVID via a rapid test I took at a drive-thru testing location. When I was later notified via phone about my positive test result, I was specifically told to not seek medical attention unless my symptoms became unmanageable as there was no known treatment for COVID. Not only were there plenty of treatments available at the time, I find it ridiculous how unwilling doctors were to prescribe medications which might work, and instead allowed countless patients to go untreated. It’s almost as if they wanted COVID to spread… The current system of top-down medicine is not a good one, so do what you need to in order to be prepared to treat yourself should the need arise.
February 9 – Big Pharma minion Scott Gottlieb appears on the CNBC “Squawk Box” to “talk all things public health.” At the 7:59 mark of the linked video, Gottlieb gives the game away as he spins his Big Pharma narrative, saying in part, “Epstein-Barr virus can be a causative factor in multiple sclerosis, and may be the single causative factor. It’s probably a causative factor in autoimmune diseases like lupus. We now know that. So there’s a lot of long term consequences of these viruses. We know HPV causes cancer. We know HSV-1 [oral herpes] probably is a causative factor in Alzheimer’s Disease. Enteroviruses cause type 1 diabetes. And so some portion of the population that become infected with these viruses do have long term consequences, and so that’s why we think about vaccinating children for them. I mean, if in the future – people were working on EBV [Epstein-Barr virus] vaccines… A lot of that has pulled back now because of the anti-vax movement in this country. But if we could, in the future, potentially vaccinate children for that, to prevent the B-cell cancers like what I have, and maybe prevent multiple sclerosis and lupus, that might be a good thing. We might want that option. I think that option is being foreclosed right now because research money is coming out of these endeavors because of what’s happening in this broader environment. And that’s a shame…
“I think it’s very clear now, and I think it’s going to become more clear that it’s very hard to get a new vaccine through the FDA because of the change in policies, you know, directed by [RFK]. And then once you do [get a new vaccine approved], is the advisory committee to the CDC going to recommend use of that vaccine? They’ve shown that they’re not willing to do that for a lot of the existing vaccines, and so I think a lot of the venture – certainly the venture capital – I work in the venture capital space. I’m a partner at a venture capital firm. It’s very hard to get a new vaccine program funded in a venture capital syndicate. The big companies are still in this, I think they’re still gonna make investments, but even there I think people are going to be much more cautious because the environment is just too difficult.”
Setting aside the fact Mr. Gottlieb seems to “know” a lot of things are true which he himself says “can be,” “may be,” or are “probably” true, what he is talking about here is the MAHA crew making the regulatory environment difficult for investors. Those investors, including Gottlieb, don’t give a flying fig about whether the drugs and vaccines they invest in will actually help people or generally improve public health. They want assurances that regulatory agencies like the FDA will approve the drugs and vaccines – regardless of whether they are thoroughly tested – and once-captured advisory committees like the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will then recommend them to the public. The real issue people like Gottlieb have with RFK and the MAHA crew is they are making it much more difficult for big investors to make big money selling dangerous and ineffective drugs to the general public based on corrupt, rubber stamp “recommendations.” Moreover, I’m willing to bet dollars to donuts if an adequately-tested vaccine came along which was proven to be effective, the MAHA crew would be more than willing to sign off on it. The real problem for people like Gottlieb, is they want to have their cake and eat it too, which is just not possible when it comes to vaccines, the thorough testing they require, and regulatory capture.
I mean, seriously. Who would trust anything coming out of this guy’s mouth?
February 10 – The Associated Presstitutes report the FDA “is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with Nobel Prize-winning mRNA technology… Moderna received what’s called a ‘refusal-to-file’ letter from the FDA that objected to how it conducted a 40,000-person clinical trial comparing its new vaccine to one of the standard flu shots used today. That trial concluded the new vaccine was somewhat more effective in adults 50 and older than that standard shot. The letter from FDA vaccine director Dr. Vinay Prasad said the agency doesn’t consider the application to contain an ‘adequate and well-controlled trial’ because it didn’t compare the new shot to ‘the best-available standard of care in the United States at the time of the study.’ Prasad’s letter pointed to some advice FDA officials gave Moderna in 2024, under the Biden administration, which Moderna didn’t follow… It’s rare that FDA refuses to file an application, particularly for a new vaccine, which requires companies and FDA staff to engage in months or years of discussions… In the last year, FDA officials working under Kennedy have rolled back recommendations around COVID-19 shots, added extra warnings to the two leading COVID vaccines – which are made with mRNA technology – and removed critics of the administration’s approach from an FDA advisory panel.”
Update (2/18/26): The Hill reports the FDA “has backtracked its initial decision last week of refusing to review Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine candidate after holding a high-priority meeting with the company… With this development, Moderna noted its flu mRNA candidate has now been accepted for review in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe… Under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tenure, federal regulators have taken a somewhat hostile stance towards mRNA vaccines, cancelling millions in grant funding last year under the claim that these types of vaccines have been shown to be ineffective. A federal vaccine advisory committee remade by Kennedy last year also voted to revise guidance for COVID-19 vaccines, the only mRNA shots on the market, to no longer give a blanket recommendation but limit immunization to individual decision-making. Senior administration officials said last week that Kennedy had no part in Moderna’s request for review being refused, claiming he likely had no idea it was happening until news outlets reported on it.”
As Nic Hulscher points out, there are already 10 approved (and ineffective) flu vaccines on the market, so the FDA considering the approval of another is entirely unnecessary… “Insiders who supported the original rejection note that Moderna’s trial did not test its shot against a placebo, which means its safety and efficacy comparisons are questionable. The broader context exposes an increasingly politicized battle over vaccines. [RFK] has pushed regulators to apply higher scrutiny to mRNA technologies, while major pharmaceutical firms and investors have argued that such caution ‘chills innovation.’ Yet, despite these warnings, Moderna’s persistent lobbying appears to have paid off. Its stock immediately jumped over 6% following the FDA’s reversal – a reaction that underscores the financial stakes tied to regulatory leniency. Many scientists, including career FDA staff, quietly question whether this decision represents genuine scientific reconsideration or industry muscle flexing. The agency’s reversal conveniently clears the way for Moderna’s future combination Covid-flu shot, a potential multi‑billion‑dollar product… This episode highlights a familiar pattern in U.S. drug regulation: corporate influence reshaping scientific judgment. As one FDA veteran privately put it, ‘If a smaller company had tried to submit that same data, they wouldn’t even get a meeting.’ The agency’s final decision on Moderna’s flu vaccine is now expected by August 5, 2026 – but the question remains whether the review will reflect rigorous evaluation or capitulation to pharmaceutical power.”
According to Politico, the decision “to reverse course and review Moderna’s seasonal flu vaccine application followed a meeting in which President Donald Trump expressed frustration to Commissioner Marty Makary over the agency’s handling of vaccine issues, according to two people familiar with details of the meeting. Makary was called to the White House Thursday, two days after the company disclosed the agency’s letter refusing to accept the application, said the people, who were granted anonymity to discuss the matter. The so-called Type A meeting that followed between Moderna and FDA officials – which companies can request after regulators refuse to accept an application as-is – was scheduled more quickly than is typical and ‘gave them a public way to save face,’ one of the people said of the agency. A White House official denied that Trump has raised any issues with the FDA’s posture on vaccines or influenced its reversal on the Moderna application. ‘Nothing the FDA has done recently on this has been choreographed,’ said the official, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly.”

reports onassists in the American Medical Association’s (AMA) effort to further erode trust in America’s public health agencies with an article titled, “AMA Joins Vaccine Review Effort as CDC Trust Plummets.” The piece reads in part, “The [AMA] and the Vaccine Integrity Project announced that they will independently assess vaccine safety and effectiveness for the 2026-2027 respiratory virus season. This initiative comes as the CDC continues to make a bevy of changes to U.S. vaccine recommendations, including slashing the number of universally recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, contrary to the advice of public health experts. Trust in the CDC has fallen to an all-time low, according to a KFF poll. In March 2020, 85% of Americans indicated a great deal or fair amount of trust in the public health agency. As of last month, that number has plummeted to 47%. Though the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has ‘served as the engine of evidence-based vaccine policy’ in the U.S. for decades, the system has ‘now effectively collapsed,’ the organizations said.” As I indicated a few entries ago, this type of propaganda is meant to scapegoat those current leading our health agencies, despite the fact it was the “advice of public health experts” – the very same ones who push every vaccine ever created – who contributed to greatly to the “plummeting” trust in our health agencies since the spring of 2020. These scumbags think if they repeat the same lies over and over in 90% of the mainstream media people will start to believe it… and to some degree, they’re right. Don’t let them get away with all the lies they told us about COVID by believing their new set of lies. Also see this. - A study is published in the Future Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences titled, “The persistence of COVID-19 vaccine artifacts in bodily fluids and tissues: a systematic review.” The authors wrote in part, “[v]accine artifacts were detected in blood components up to 709 days post-vaccination (spike protein), and breast milk for up to 7 days (mRNA) after vaccination. However, it should be noted that sequence-confirmed vaccinal spike protein fragments have been detected in the blood over time longer than 187 days after immunization… Persistent spike protein and its genetic code may be of concern, as in vitro and in vivo studies support several pathological mechanisms linking it to myocarditis and other adverse events… One novel condition, termed Post-Acute Vaccination Syndrome (PACVS), manifests similarly to Post-Acute Covid-19 Syndrome (PACS; ‘long COVID,’ characterized by a cluster of new symptoms experienced months after SARS-CoV-2 infection) or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/or Chronic fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). PACVS is characterized by exercise intolerance, fatigue, and brain fog as major symptoms, though individual presentation differs significantly. In the case of PACS, persisting viral fragments, including spike protein, may be a driver of the condition. Spike protein may induce PACVS via multiple mechanisms. Should the spike protein be a major driver of disease in PACS and/or PACVS, it is important to investigate mechanisms for its inactivation and removal, along with addressing any lingering damage… The persistence and systemic distribution of vaccine components, namely spike protein, modified mRNA, and lipid nanoparticles have defied early expectations that such materials would degrade within days… This unexpected longevity raises critical questions about degradation pathways, tissue-specific retention, and immune system interactions with these synthetic biomolecules… The foundational assumptions of rapid decay and localized distribution have not consistently held, suggesting that we still lack a complete understanding of how nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines behave in human systems.” Also see this.
February 11 – A study is published in Hormone and Metabolic Research titled, “Lactate, Capnia, and Fat Oxidation as Therapeutic Axes for SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein-Induced Sequelae.” The study is behind a paywall, but according to a breakdown from the Independent Medical Alliance (IMA),whose researchers conducted the review, “there are three distinct ways that metabolism goes wrong in these patients, and they reinforce each other. When mitochondria are damaged by spike protein exposure, fat burning drops, lactate builds up too early, and CO₂ levels fall, creating a vicious cycle of chronic energy failure. The review frames these as three ‘therapeutic axes,’ each offering measurable targets for intervention… During physical activity, the body normally shifts from burning fat to burning carbohydrates as intensity increases. In long COVID patients, this transition happens at much lower exertion levels. They are unable to use fat as fuel even under moderate effort, forcing their cells to rely on glucose, which produces less energy and more metabolic waste. The spike protein appears to drive this shift by disrupting mitochondrial function and diverting fatty acids toward storage rather than energy production…
“Long COVID patients show chronically low end-tidal CO₂ levels, even when breathing at a normal rate. This matters because low CO₂ shifts the oxygen-hemoglobin curve in the wrong direction: hemoglobin holds onto oxygen more tightly, delivering less to tissues that desperately need it… In healthy individuals, lactate (a byproduct of anaerobic energy production) only builds up at higher exercise intensities. In long COVID patients, this threshold arrives far too early. Even low-level activities like walking can trigger the ‘burning’ sensation and fatigue most people associate with intense exercise, despite normal heart and lung function on standard tests… These three axes don’t operate in isolation. Poor fat oxidation forces more reliance on glucose, which produces more lactate. Low CO₂ means less oxygen reaching tissues, which pushes the body further into anaerobic metabolism. Each disruption amplifies the others.” The linked IMA article also includes treatment strategies that “draw on established evidence from exercise science and nutritional medicine.”
- The UK Daily Mail reports Democrat party propaganda machine XiNN “has lost nearly two-thirds of its primetime viewers over the past decade. The decrease, from roughly 1.3 million in 2016 to 553,000 now, is fueling rumors of a possible network sale – something CNN’s up-for-grabs parent company has vehemently denied… When compared to the same part of the year in 2021, the drops were even more pronounced – 71 percent for primetime and 73 percent during the day.” If I’m being honest, these ratings still seem too high… I look forward to the day the Criminal News Network, and its army of filthbag propagandists, is finally done away with for good.
- Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduces legislation to amend the Public Health Service Act and finally end the liability protection vaccine manufacturers have enjoyed for far too long. The bill takes specific aim at the COVID “vaccines” by seeking to have them excluded from the list of “covered countermeasures.”
February 12 – Robert Kennedy makes an appearance on Theo Von’s podcast This Past Weekend. At the start of the interview, Kennedy asked Von for his permission to share with the audience how they first met… in recovery. For those who don’t already know, Kennedy began using heroin and other drugs as a teenager after his father was assassinated, and struggled with addiction for well over a decade. The two recounted how they first met at 7am sobriety meetings occurring “above the bank over there,” and lamented how they were shut down when the plannedemic started. Kennedy went on to say (1:15 mark), “[w]e still did live meetings every day during COVID. We moved from the bank. There was about 15 of us who moved from the bank… and we got into the Palisades Playhouse which now is burned down… but it was kind of a pirate group. And, you know, I mean for me… I said this when we came in [to the meetings during COVID], and I said, ‘I don’t care what happens. I’m going to a meeting every day.’ … I’m not scared of a germ. You know, I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats, and I know this disease will kill me, right? … If I don’t treat it – which means going, for me, going to meetings every day – it’s just bad for my life. So for me it was survival. And then, you know, the opportunity to help another alcoholic, that’s the secret sauce of the meetings, and that’s what keeps us all sober, and keeps us, you know, from self-will.”
Some of the reactions I saw on social media to Kennedy’s candid comments were ones of faux outrage and other holier than thou bullshit, but the fact the guy has been keeping his addiction in check for over 40 years is commendable to say the least. Honesty is not unbecoming, it’s refreshing. And it’s sad more people don’t see it that way… I’m reminded of a conversation I once had with a coworker who said of Kennedy, “that guy’s got a problem.” He sure does… Not enough people realize how much he’s trying to do for them. The wide-ranging discussion is only about 70 minutes and well worth the time.
February 13 – Desperate to block the sensible changes made to the childhood vaccine schedule last month, major medical groups have now turned to lawfare. According to Pfizer-controlled Reuters, “[l]awyers for the American Academy of Pediatrics and other groups told U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston that health officials acted unlawfully to fulfill Kennedy’s goals by upending national immunization policies in ways that would harm public health and reduce vaccination rates… Instead of a recommendation, the CDC said parents should consult healthcare providers under what it calls shared clinical-decision-making, and said insurance providers would continue to cover the costs of the shots… U.S. Department of Justice lawyer Isaac Belfer told him HHS was not pursuing an anti-vaccine agenda and welcomed ‘spirited debate about vaccine policy.’ But he said it had broad authority to change policy to address a decline in public trust in vaccines following the COVID-19 pandemic.”
February 14 – A study is published in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine titled, “The causes of Australian excess deaths in 2021, and beyond: An ecological study considering COVID-19, the lockdowns, and the vaccines.” According to a breakdown by Nic Hulscher (the study is behind a paywall), “Australia provided something rare: a real-world natural experiment. Several regions – Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory – had very low COVID circulation in 2021, avoided prolonged lockdowns, yet injected nearly their entire adult populations with experimental shots. By the end of 2021, vaccination coverage (≥1 dose, age 16+) was: Queensland – 90.8%, Western Australia – 92.1%, South Australia – 92.5%, [and] Northern Territory – 89.3%. These regions vaccinated rapidly and thoroughly – despite having little COVID spread. Then excess deaths surged.
“Across these four regions in 2021, [t]otal excess deaths [were] 645 [and] total deaths classified as ‘from or with COVID’ [were] 10. That means 635 of 645 excess deaths – 98.4% – were not attributed to COVID. In these four regions in 2021: COVID-19 mortality declined. Lockdowns were brief and limited. Vaccination rates exceeded 89% in every region. Excess mortality rose sharply. When high COVID burden and prolonged lockdown confounders are removed, what remains is mass vaccination. In these four regions, the sequence is unmistakable: rapid, near-universal vaccine rollout followed by a measurable spike in excess deaths.” The study’s author, Raphael Lataster concluded, “[c]ombined with increasing evidence that the efficacy/effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccines have been greatly exaggerated, including acknowledgements from the Australian and American governments that several deaths have been caused by the vaccines, these findings make it a near-certainty that COVID-19 vaccines have been – and continue to be – contributing to excess mortality.” Also see this.

February 16 – U.S. Right to Know publishes an updated archive of documents related to the origin of COVID obtained through “224 state, federal, and international public records requests, and 39 FOI [freedom of information] lawsuits seeking information about the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and the risks of biosafety labs and gain-of-function research.” The group began their work all the way back in July of 2020. The amount of information accessible at their website is somewhat staggering, but they have it sorted into different categories to make it slightly easier to navigate. As important new details emerge, I will be sure to add them into this timeline, though the time I have available to dig through these materials myself is quite limited. Also see this.
- Mary Talley Bowden reports Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has intervened in the case brought against her in 2021 by the Texas Medical Board for her use of ivermectin to treat COVID patients during the plannedemic. Instead of representing the board against Bowden, Paxton asked the court to void the public reprimand they issued. Check out the linked article for the back story, as well as the full intervention petition submitted by Paxton.
February 17 – In this month’s edition of Death Cult Runs Wild in Canada, we have the story of Kiano Vafaeian, a 26-year-old blind man whose family is irate after he was euthanized because of what they describe as “seasonal depression.” The UK Daily Mail reports, “[e]ligibility was expanded in 2021 to include people with chronic illnesses, disabilities and, pending parliamentary review, potentially individuals with certain mental health conditions. Vafaeian faced mental health struggles stemming from a car accident at 17, and according to his mother, his depression often flared during the winter months. For years, the family had successfully prevented their son from using the program. Last year, however, Dr Ellen Wiebe, a MAID provider in British Columbia, approved Vafaeian’s death – news the family only learned about days later. Vafaeian’s mother, Margaret Marsilla of Ontario, alleged that Wiebe was ‘coaching’ her son on how to qualify as a Track 2 patient – those whose natural deaths aren’t deemed ‘reasonably imminent’ … ‘We believe that she was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for,’ Marsilla told the outlet.
“Marsilla has since been battling fiercely to undo the Track 2 modification and to support Bill C-218, a legislative effort intended to restrict MAID for those whose only condition is a mental illness… ‘We never thought there would be a chance that any doctor would approve a 22- or 23-year-old at that time for MAID because of diabetes or blindness.’ That year, Vafaeian attempted to die under the program for the first time after being approved, even going so far as to schedule a time, date and location for the procedure in Toronto. But the plan unraveled when his mother accidentally discovered the appointment email and called the doctor, posing as a woman inquiring about MAID. She also took to social media to publicly voice her opposition. She taped the conversation with the doctor and sent it to a reporter. The doctor then postponed the procedure over the outcry and decided not to go through with it. Marsilla said her son was initially angry, insisting she had ‘violated’ his right to choose death, but she told Fox that he began improving quickly the next year and even moved back in with the family in 2024.” Check out the article for the rest of the details.
February 18 – ABC reports NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya will take over as acting director of the CDC as Jim O’Neill, who had been overseeing CDC after Susan Monarez was fired back in August, will be tapped to lead the National Science Foundation. The ABC “news” article is tantamount to a hit piece, and does a better job rehashing all of the past talking points deployed against Bhattacharya than it does reporting factual info about the change, and what it might mean for the CDC. ABC = Always Biased Coverage.
- The Financial Times reports University College London has agreed to a £21M settlement with ~6,500 former students over their education being disrupted during COVID. According to the Times, “[t]he cohort of former UCL students is part of a much larger group of claimants across the UK taking legal action over claims that their university education was diminished by the pandemic. Lawyers acting for 194,000 claimants said they were pursuing 36 other universities on behalf of students demanding compensation for cancelled lectures, substandard digital tuition and restricted access to libraries, laboratories and other facilities. The closely watched UCL claim was the first case to proceed to the High Court and a trial had been due to begin this month. The amount each student is set to receive in the settlement will vary and is due to be determined by a committee of claimants.”
February 19 – Paul Thacker reports the British government hired the public relations firm APCO to spy on him according to a “private and confidential” 2023 memo prepared for Labour Together, a supposedly right wing British think tank. The memo describes Thacker as the “publisher of The Disinformation Chronicle on Substack where he complains about the Democrats, the pharmaceutical industry, and other articles about CCDH [the Center for Countering Digital Hate]. Regularly Tweets about the ‘Twitter Files.’” Oh, the horror… Make sure to check out the article for all of the absurd details.
February 20 – A study is published in the International Journal of Cardiovascular Research & Innovation titled, “Cardiovascular safety signals in Israeli adolescents following COVID-19 Vaccination: Evidence from an unprocessed FOIA dataset.” According to previously unseen data acquired through Freedom of Information Act, there was a major surge in heart-related injuries among adolescents immediately following the Israeli Ministry of Health’s decision to expand COVID vaccine access to teenagers. The study reads in part, “[t]he total number of [‘COVID-specific follow-up events’] reports… was 725, the vast majority of which involved adverse cardiovascular events. The most frequently reported event was Acute Cardiovascular Injury (646 cases), followed by Myocarditis/Pericarditis (23 cases), Myocarditis (13 cases), and Pericarditis (9 cases). It should be noted that the most frequently used code, ‘Acute Cardiovascular Injury,’ appears in the dataset in ‘אוטם חריף בשריר הלב’ as Hebrew, which translates literally to Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). We did not identify an explanation in the official documentation for the discrepancy between the Hebrew term denoting AMI and the broader, less diagnostically specific English label ‘Acute Cardiovascular Injury’ used in the Nachlieli reporting system…
“The findings of the present research report provide a retrospective window into previously undisclosed cardiovascular safety signals that emerged during the critical early phase of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. Using newly disclosed surveillance data from Israel – often described as the ‘world’s laboratory’ – this analysis documents a marked concentration of cardiovascular adverse events among adolescents in mid-2021, coinciding with the expansion of vaccination eligibility to younger age groups. Within the designated COVID-specific follow-up category (Table 2), cardiovascular events constituted the overwhelming majority of reports, representing a pronounced disproportionate safety signal. Furthermore, the clustering of 271 cardiovascular events among adolescents aged 12-16 within a narrow six-week interval – shortly after the IMOH expanded vaccination eligibility to adolescents under 16 (on June 21, 2021) – represents an order-of-magnitude excess compared with background expectations…
“Without minimizing the limitations discussed above, the present study identifies an exceptionally serious cardiovascular safety signal that emerged during mid-2021 and had the potential to materially alter contemporaneous vaccination policy. The FOIA-released dataset, made public only in 2025, documents at least 277 unique cardiovascular events following vaccination among underage adolescents, 271 of which occurred among youths aged 12–16 within a concentrated six-week period. Even under highly conservative assumptions, the findings correspond to a minimum estimated risk of approximately one cardiovascular event per 939 vaccinated adolescents – a magnitude that stands in stark contrast to expected background rates as well as the common risk profile later emphasized in the literature (which largely portrayed vaccine associated cardiac events as rare, male-predominant, and confined to a narrow post–second-dose window). The scale, timing, and demographic breadth of these events, together with the prolonged failure to process and disclose the underlying reports, raise serious concerns regarding whether cardiovascular risks in adolescents were adequately recognized and communicated during a critical decision-making period. Earlier analysis and transparent reporting of these data could have enabled age-sensitive risk-benefit assessments and more adaptive vaccination strategies, better aligned with emerging real-world safety signals.”
As Steve Kirsch points out, what might be even more outrageous than the data itself is how no one in the Israeli government is calling for an investigation. In fact, no media anywhere is covering the story… So where are all the fact checkers now? Also see this.

February 22 – An armed, bloodthirsty leftist is shot and killed at President Trump’s Florida home after breaching the security perimeter. According to the New York Post, the “crazed gunman who was shot dead after trying to enter Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a gas can has been identified as a North Carolina artist who was reported missing by his mom… The golf course artist was ‘ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with them,’ Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told reporters during a press conference Sunday. ‘At which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position.’ That’s when law enforcement ‘neutralized the threat.’ Two Secret Service agents and a sheriff’s deputy had confronted the suspect during the scare at Mar-a-Lago… It comes just five days after a Georgia man armed with a shotgun was arrested outside the US Capitol as he sprinted towards the west side of the building.” If someone ever tries to sell you on the idea that right wingers are the violent ones, they’re either dumb or lying (or both).
February 23 – Medpage Today reports hepatitis B vaccination has fallen by 10% since hitting a peak in 2023, and while they report the reason for this in their article, the geniuses over there still don’t seem to get it… According to the linked piece, “[a]mong more than 12 million infants, birth-dose hepatitis B vaccination rates rose from 67.5% in January 2017 to a peak of 83.5% in February 2023 before declining to 73.2% by August 2025, reported Joshua M. Rothman, MD, MS, of the University of California San Diego, and colleagues in a research letter published in JAMA… Using an autoregressive integrated moving average model, the researchers found that vaccination rates beginning in July 2023 fell significantly below forecasted levels, marking a sustained divergence from prior trends. ‘While no single explanation can be identified, the decline coincides with a period of heightened public discourse in the U.S. regarding childhood vaccination following the COVID-19 pandemic, including high-visibility media coverage and policy discussions that may have influenced perceptions of vaccine safety, clinician recommendations, and parent decisions,’ the authors wrote…
“Investigators selected July 2023 as a reference point, which corresponded to increased public discussion of childhood vaccination, including a widely circulated podcast episode in which HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussed hepatitis B immunization. ‘Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, where previously there was concern about messaging around the COVID-19 vaccine, we started to observe that shift into other childhood vaccines,’ Rothman said. ‘In addition to all the other public discourse going on at that time, this podcast in particular mentioned the hepatitis vaccine specifically, and so we wanted to know, is this just highlighting this whole conversation that was going on around the country, in the media, social media, and really captured in this podcast?’” Yes, jackass… But just to make it even clearer for the vaccine zealots: The increasing hesitancy towards vaccines is due to you people needlessly shoving dangerous and ineffective COVID vaccines down everyone’s throat relentlessly for three years… What the hell is wrong with these people?
- The Military Times reports the Supreme Court “has declined to hear two cases filed on behalf of Air Force personnel who sought back pay and affirmation of their religious First Amendment rights after they were kicked out of the service for refusing to comply with the Defense Department’s 2021 vaccine mandate. The justices denied petitions Monday for Poffenbarger v. Meink and Doster v. Meink – cases that had challenged the vaccine mandate but were dismissed by lower courts as moot, given that the DoD allowed service members who refused the vaccine to begin returning in 2023, and in 2025, announced incentives such as back pay to bring them back in… Roughly 17,000 service members refused the vaccine, and more than 8,400 were discharged for their decision, including 3,717 Marines, 2,041 Navy sailors, 1,841 Army soldiers and 834 Air Force and Space Force members. From early 2023 through June 2025, 126 service members who had refused to receive the shot had returned to service.”
February 24 – 15 states file a lawsuit against the Trump Administration over the recent changes made to the childhood vaccine schedule (see January 6th). According to the linked press release put out by the office of Commiefornia Governor Gavin Nuisance, “California is co-leading a multi-state lawsuit against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the CDC, and the CDC’s Director for their unprecedented attack on the country’s evidence-based childhood vaccine schedule. The lawsuit includes 15 states suing the federal government for the HHS and CDC’s decision in January to strip seven childhood vaccines of universally recommended status. This decision was made circumventing federal laws and without solid scientific supporting evidence, and will certainly result in more kids contracting preventable diseases… The federal government’s move to advance a childhood vaccine schedule unsupported by science, without deliberation or public input, and circumventing established processes and procedures, is unlawful… The Trump administration’s bucking of an evidence-based childhood vaccine schedule is especially dire as the United States experiences the highest numbers of measles cases, outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in more than 30 years, driven by populations with low vaccination rates.” Despite the bombastic language, measles “outbreaks” led to about 2,200 cases and just three deaths in 2025… Also see this.
- Bill Rice Jr. publishes an article at his Substack titled, “Someone needs to sink The Atlantic.” The piece gets into how the leftist rag is “a ‘go-to’ source for disseminating bogus or dubious Covid and ‘vaccine’ propaganda (aka sanctioned disinformation)” whose business has picked up quite a bit since the plannedemic started in 2019/2020. To make his point, Rice focuses on a fake story the rag printed about a fictitious measles death which was intended to do two things: 1) demonize supposed “anti-vaxxers,” and 2) boost Big Pharma’s profits… As I documented in my 2020-2022 timelines, The Atlantic was one of the most notorious purveyors of the bogus COVID narrative and everything else intended to divide the American people – like this article which was originally titled, “Unvaccinated People Belong on the No-fly List.” What a bunch of scumbags…
February 25 – The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) holds a confirmation hearing for Surgeon General nominee Casey Means – the sister of often-hotheaded MAHA advisor Calley Means. Out of the gate, ranking member of the HELP committee, Comrade Bernie Sanders (C-VT), began his opening statement by bitching about how much America spends on healthcare per capita, while simultaneously achieving poor health outcomes. When he was done with that, he turned his focus to HHS Secretary Kennedy and the Trump administration, lying about cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA – aka Obamacare) by claiming “15 million people will be losing their health care.” In reality, those no longer being permitted to suck money out of American tax payers did not belong in these programs to begin with, namely non-citizens (Democrat voters), lazy people in their teens and 20s who refuse to work the minimum hours required to be eligible (Democrat voters), and people who failed to get the proper paperwork in order (also Democrat voters). Making Sanders’ claims even more obnoxious is the fact he supported the ACA, which caused the cost of medical care in America to completely skyrocket…
This point was not lost on Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), who threw this fact back in Sanders’ face and called him out as a hypocrite (his time starts at the 29:45 mark)… At one point, when Sanders chimed in with an arrogant comment during Mullin’s time, Mullin snapped back by saying, “I’m sorry, I didn’t ask your opinion on that. And if I cared about your opinion, I would ask you, but I don’t care about your opinion. You’re part of the system. You’re part of the problem. You’ve been sitting here longer than I’ve even been alive. This is your problem, You should have fixed this a long time ago.” Exactly! During his five minutes, Mullin also commended Means for her willingness to ask meaningful questions about the safety of vaccines and other controversial topics considered off-limits by pharma lackeys like Comrade Bernie, and gave her the opportunity to explain why she wants to be America’s top doc… “To get more healthy, whole food on Americans’ plates, and to work to systematically encourage our healthcare system to focus on the root causes of why we are sick and not just reactive sick care.” Sounds good to me.
Immediately after Mullin’s five minutes was up, Committee Chair Cassidy threw it over to Patty Murray (D-WA), who might be one of the dumbest people in all of congress – which is no small feat nowadays (her time begins at the 35:50 mark). Hilariously, she posted her exchange with Means to her YouTube channel with the title, “I Grilled Casey Means – Trump’s Unqualified Pick for Surgeon General.” Despite her description, however, it took Means less than 10 seconds to show the world what an unqualified twit Murray is… During her five minutes, Murray sat there repeating leftist talking points and buzzwords like “contrary to established science,” “decades of evidence,” and, of course, “safe and effective.” In regard to female contraception, Murray claimed the FDA approved 18 different types of hormonal and non-hormonal birth control methods “after a very rigorous look at the evidence,” and asked Means why we should believe her claim that there are “horrifying health risks to birth control.” Before giving her response, Means asked Murray if she even knew what the side effects of hormonal contraception were, but the ignorant script reader sidestepped giving an answer by just restating the question she had asked seconds earlier…
Means went on to confidently explain what she meant by the quote Murray read, including the lack of awareness regarding the risks women face because informed consent conversations rarely take place between patients and their doctors. She also specified which groups are most at risk for the “horrifying” side effects, and clarified this was not a blanket statement applying to all women. How did Murray respond? By looking back down at her script and fumbling over her words… It always makes me shake my head when congressional reps – who are not doctors – try to give the business to actual doctors by reading questions someone else prepared for them. Sad!
Overall, Means did very well for herself and came across as an intelligent, passionate woman who would take her job as surgeon general very seriously. Unfortunately, as with every other hearing I’ve covered at this website, listening to Democrat politicians drone on with their bogus talking points and ad hominem attacks make important public sessions meant to inform Americans who are willing to listen very difficult to sit through… Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), for example, was particularly shameless (58:15 mark), and did nothing to help inform people about whether or not Means is qualified.
Update (2/26/26): According to Politico, Means lacks the votes to be confirmed due to usual RINO holdouts like Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Big Pharma lackey Bill Cassidy (R-LA).
- Paul Thacker publishes an article at his Substack titled, “Congress Forces NIH to Reverse Policy, Continue Funding Fauci’s ‘Unsafe’ Infectious Disease Centers.” Thacker wrote in part, “[t]he lobbyists always win. Last summer, the National Institutes of Health sent out notices to shut down a Tony Fauci initiative launched in 2020 called the Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases or ‘CREID’ after deeming them unsafe for Americans and not a good use of taxpayer funding… Well, university lobbyists have struck back – managing to slip language into the congressional appropriations bill that forces NIH to spend $18.2 million to fund CREID centers once again… A senior official with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who did not wish to be named said they are unsure how university lobbyists managed to insert this demand into the funding bill, and expressed anger that Congress and universities were, as they saw it, playing politics with Americans’ safety… Two researchers who were awarded the Fauci CREID grants were Kristian Andersen of Scripps Research and Peter Daszak of the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance… As previously reported, the White House is finalizing Trump’s plan to deal with dangerous gain-of-function virus research as laid out in a May 2025 executive order. The new policy will take a risk-based approach to determine whether a pathogen study will be funded. Scientists who fail to disclose dangerous research could be barred from federal programs as could their universities.” The Trump 2.0 administration is being undermined at every turn…
February 26 – France 24 reports Borge Brende, the president and CEO of the World Economic Forum, has resigned “a few weeks after the forum launched an independent investigation into his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Brende, who became president of the WEF in 2017, announced his decision in a statement following disclosures from the US Justice Department that showed the Norwegian had three business dinners with Epstein and had also communicated with the disgraced financier via email and text message… Brende has said he was unaware of Epstein’s past and criminal activities before first meeting him in 2018, and that he regretted not having investigated him more thoroughly.” Hmmm… Where have I hear that excuse before?
February 27 – CNBC publishes a piece of partisan drivel titled, “Trump angering MAHA with glyphosate order gives Democrats an opening.” The article reads in part, “President Donald Trump is careening toward the Make America Healthy Again iceberg after issuing an executive order to boost the domestic production of a key herbicide called glyphosate. Democrats see an opportunity to steer the health-conscious movement back to their side… Kennedy’s MAHA movement, which disavows chemicals in food and pushes natural alternatives, played a key part in Trump’s victory – and Trump rewarded Kennedy by making him Health and Human Services secretary. But Trump’s recent moves that benefit the very chemicals MAHA hates are creating fissures in the base that helped deliver him to the White House, with less than nine months to go until the pivotal midterm elections and primary elections starting next week. Democrats who hope to strip Trump’s near-total control of Washington now see an opportunity to claw MAHA back into their fold…” If Trump is as unpopular as the leftist news media tells us, why would Democrats be trying to convince people this executive order represents some sort of “opportunity” with disenchanted Democrats and Independents who backed the GOP in 2024? Well, that’s because the idea of Trump being unpopular is just as fake as the premise of this pathetic article…
Let me state with 100% certainty the Democrats plan to do nothing about glyphosate being used in the production of food and animal feed should they make gains in the 2026 and 2028 elections. Nothing. At. All. This is just another example of empty talk and Democrats trying to exploit a perceived political “opening” they themselves create through fake news articles such as this one. The truth, however, is more complex, as RFK indicated in a lengthy Tweet he sent out in response to the supposed MAHA “betrayal.” Kennedy wrote in part, “[p]esticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms. When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk… Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals. The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, yet we use roughly 25% of its pesticides. If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous. I support President Trump’s Executive Order to bring agricultural chemical production back to the United States and end our near-total reliance on adversarial nations. His EO protects two pillars of national strength: our defense readiness and our food supply…
“President Trump did not build our current system – he inherited it. For decades, Washington designed modern agriculture. Policymakers wrote farm policy, directed research dollars, structured subsidies and crop insurance, and shaped commodity markets to reward monocultures and maximum yield. Those deliberate choices locked farmers into chemical dependence and prioritized short-term output over long-term soil vitality and human health. We are now changing course – without destabilizing the food supply. Alongside @USDA @SecRollins, we are accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture by expanding farming systems that rebuild soil, increase biodiversity, improve water retention, and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, including pre-harvest desiccation. We are also driving the rapid adoption of next-generation technologies, including laser-guided weed control, electrothermal and electrical systems, robotics, precision mechanical cultivation, and biological controls that replace blanket spraying with precision intervention. These solutions are not theoretical. Farmers are already putting them to work. Markets are scaling them. Now the federal government will act with urgency to expand their reach and accelerate adoption nationwide.” RFK also spoke about this issue during an interview with Joe Rogan which was released today (discussion begins around the 1:51:00 mark). As you would expect, he’s not happy about it, but explains why Trump needed to sign the order…
Perhaps even more frustrating than incessant leftist propaganda is the way some on the right react to developments like this by claiming there has been an actual betrayal of the people who voted for President Trump. The same reactions occurred when the MAHA crew approved the use of the new COVID jabs in 2025. For them to have just come into office and begin banning certain drugs would have been like getting on the express train to impeachment. Yes, a thorough lack of actual science is what allowed those products to come to market in the first place, but when the MAHA crew first came into HHS, CDC, and FDA they lacked the government-directed studies needed to begin making serious changes to COVID vaccine policy. They are doing what they can and moving things back in the right direction, but this will take time. The last thing people on the right want to do is become like the left and react with ill-informed emotion every time the administration fails to act the way we would like them to. I like that the right in America does not require everyone to sing from the same sheet music like the left does, so let’s keep it that way and put the work in so we can all be on the same page.

February 28 – About a week ago, a friend and I began watching the television series “The Pitt” on MAX. If you don’t already know, it’s an emergency room-based medical drama starring Noah Wyle, Katherine LaNasa, and a host of others. We had heard good things about the show, and so we decided to give it a try. Well, it started out okay… until the leftist messaging started, of course. At first, it started with some passing Marxist talk of “unhoused” people (in lieu of “homeless”), but by episode 11 had moved on to doctors falsifying the results of a pregnancy test in order to give a 17-year-old girl abortion drugs… Since episode 5, in fact, the show has become a bit of a propaganda-fest…
In episode 9, for example, a crazed mask cult member gets punched in the face by a right winger in the waiting area after making repeated requests for the right winger to put a mask on their coughing child (the right winger claimed the child had allergies). To be fair, the show made the mask cult member look pretty stupid as well, but my real problem lies in the fact the show did nothing to actually inform the viewers. There was no calm explanation by an actor playing a doctor about how masks do nothing to prevent aerosolized viruses like the flu or COVID, but instead a charged confrontation between a doctor and the right winger – who ended up needing surgery to repair her hand – where she folded up like a cheap tent when asked if she wants the doctors who will be doing the surgery to mask up… Would I want a surgeon to wear a surgical mask while performing surgery on me? Sure. Would I want a surgeon to walk around wearing a mask if they had the sniffles? Heck no… To me, bringing up the issue of masks was meant to keep everyone in their camps, while making anti-mask people come off like ignorant knuckle-draggers. No one was helped by this stupid side story…
As the show rolled on, so did the propaganda – which seemed to become more pronounced with each passing episode. Among other things, there were anti-science parents who refused to let the doctors perform the proper tests on their dying child, AR-15 demonization after a mass shooting at a concert in which a character’s girlfriend dies, and repeated bitching about the financial cuts being made by RFK and the Trump administration (though they don’t name names). In the end, the show is fairly entertaining and I plan to continue watching it, but they’re losing me a bit with all the needless messaging. I guess leftists just can’t help themselves and feel obligated to make everything political every chance they get…
The death cult uses the word “care” the same way the mafia does… “Want me to take care of it, boss?”
