The Hill reported<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a new requirement for\u00a0placebo testing<\/a>\u00a0on all new vaccines last week, the agency suggested the move would help protect consumers. But medical experts and vaccine makers say wide application of the rule would be an unnecessary drain on time and money, while raising ethical questions by depriving some patients of safe vaccines that could protect them from disease.<\/p>\n

Akiko Iwasaki, former president of the American Association of Immunologists and director of the Yale School of Medicine Center for Infection and Immunity, told The Hill \u201cit\u2019s unethical to put people on a placebo arm when there is an existing vaccine for a trial like this.\u201d\u00a0 According to an HHS spokesperson, the rule announced last week means \u201call new vaccines will undergo safety testing in placebo-controlled trials prior to licensure \u2014 a radical departure from past practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExcept for the COVID vaccine, none of the vaccines on the CDC\u2019s [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] childhood recommended schedule was tested against an inert placebo, meaning we know very little about the actual risk profiles of these products,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n

Japan Issues Alert as Deadly Kidney Failure Surges in Covid-Vaxxed<\/h2>\n

State of the Nation reported<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Japan has just issued a warning after some of the country\u2019s top scientists uncovered direct links between COVID-19 mRNA \u201cvaccines\u201d and surges in deadly kidney failure. Dr. Yukako Umezawa, a professor at Japan\u2019s\u00a0Juntendo University Urayasu Hospital<\/a>, led a team of researchers to investigate alarming spikes in the onset or relapse of\u00a0glomerular diseases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glomerular disease is a condition that causes serious damage to the kidneys.<\/p>\n

The disease attacks tiny filters in your kidneys, called glomeruli, where your blood is cleaned. Glomerular disease can often go undetected for many years as it causes no symptoms until the damage begins to emerge.<\/p>\n

The disease causes serious health problems such as high blood pressure (hypertension), nephrotic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, and ultimately death. Dr. Umezawa and his colleagues are raising the alarm over their findings as they warn of a \u201cticking time bomb\u201d scenario among the vaccinated population, as many are unaware that they have contracted glomerular disease after receiving an\u00a0mRNA injection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What a Shocker: New Study Confirms That Huge Number of \u2018COVID Deaths\u2019 Weren\u2019t Even COVID Related<\/h2>\n

OutKick reported<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of the extreme, overbearing policies and mandates enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic were based on the underlying assumption that COVID-19 was a uniquely dangerous threat. COVID-19 would lead to the deaths of young, healthy people, necessitating the complete shutdown of society, endless\u00a0mask mandates<\/a>, school closures, and closing down small businesses while allowing Wal-Mart to remain open.<\/p>\n

Oh, and forcing businesses to close early on the theory that COVID-19 was smart and devious enough to know how to spread more quickly and efficiently late at night.<\/p>\n

As the \u201cexpert\u201d and medical communities, led by\u00a0Dr. Anthony Fauci<\/a>, reorganized themselves around ignoring all other illnesses, risk factors and side effects, their efforts to make COVID-19 the all-consuming focus resulted in labeling anyone who died with a positive test a \u201cCOVID death.\u201d<\/p>\n

Car crashes, shootings, cancer, heart attacks\u2026all these causes were labeled as \u201cCOVID deaths\u201d by the medical community, which then called anyone who noticed and pointed out the absurdity of this practice a \u201cconspiracy theorist\u201d and \u201cCOVID denier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, now we have more research confirming, yet again, that the actual reality denial came from the experts who created that absurdist policy. And their media partners and defenders who played along.<\/p>\n

US Government Secures Production, Supply of Freeze-Dried Jynneos Mpox Vaccine<\/h2>\n

CIDRAP reported<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Danish drugmaker Bavarian Nordic announced today that the U.S. government has placed a $144 million order for a freeze-dried version of its\u00a0mpox vaccine<\/a>, which can also be used to prevent smallpox. The freeze-dried formulation of the Jynneos vaccine was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March. It will be easier to store and transport, and has a longer shelf life, than the liquid-frozen formulation that Bavarian Nordic has been supplying to the US government since 2010.<\/p>\n

The company ramped up production of Jynneos in response to the mpox outbreak that began in 2022. Jynneos was first approved by the FDA in 2019 and is one of two FDA-approved vaccines for the prevention of smallpox and mpox. The options exercised under Bavarian Nordic\u2019s existing contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, which was awarded in 2017, are valued at $143.6 million and will support manufacturing and supply of freeze-dried Jynneos starting in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe applaud the U.S. government\u2019s steadfast commitment to improving national health security through the exercise of these options,\u201d\u00a0Bavarian Nordic<\/a>\u00a0President and CEO Paul Chaplin, Ph.D., said in a company press release. \u201cThe freeze-dried vaccine, with its improved shelf life, provides a significant contribution to securing the long-term availability of countermeasures to protect U.S citizens against life-threatening diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moderna\u2019s Combo Covid and Flu mRNA Shot Outperforms Current Vaccines in Large Trial<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NBC News reported<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moderna\u2019s combined COVID-19 and\u00a0flu shot<\/a>\u00a0outperformed the existing standalone vaccines for both viruses, according to the results of a phase 3 clinical trial published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The vaccine uses the same messenger RNA technology as Moderna\u2019s approved COVID-19 vaccine. (There are no approved mRNA-based flu shots.)<\/p>\n

The trial, funded by\u00a0Moderna<\/a>, included more than 8,000 adults ages 50 and older who were enrolled in October and November 2023. For people ages 50 to 64, the new vaccine was compared to Moderna\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine and the flu shot Fluarix. For people 65 and older, it was compared to the COVID-19 vaccine and a different\u00a0flu shot<\/a>, called Fluzone, which is a stronger dose typically given to older adults.<\/p>\n

The trial participants either got the existing shots, or the new combination vaccine plus a placebo shot. (This way, both groups got two injections.)<\/p>\n
