Fraud Task Force, DOJ Prosecute Half-a-Billion Dollars in Health Care, COVID Schemes

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced three separate criminal and civil actions on April 7 seeking to hold two individuals and two companies accountable for schemes to steal more than $500 million from taxpayer-funded programs.

The defendants are two companies implicated in an Affordable Care Act (ACA) fraud scheme, a California man pleading guilty to medication reimbursement fraud, and a Nevada woman sentenced to prison for COVID-19 tax credit fraud, the department said in an April 7 statement.

The DOJ said its efforts support President Donald Trump’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, chaired by Vice President JD Vance, which aims to clean up federal benefit programs.

“Thanks to the leadership of President Donald Trump, the Department, working closely with the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, is supercharging efforts to take down every fraudster and bring them to justice,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said.

“In one day, the Department prosecuted the theft of a half-billion in taxpayer dollars. All those ripping off the American people are on notice.”

Obamacare Scheme

One case involves insurance brokerage company AP of South Florida LLC (APSF), which is accused of fraudulently enrolling thousands of vulnerable people into fully federally subsidized ACA plans, also known as Obamacare. The scheme resulted in the federal government paying $141.5 million in unwarranted subsidies.

APSF targeted vulnerable, low-income people who were unemployed, homeless, or experiencing mental health and substance abuse disorders. Most of them did not meet the minimum eligibility requirements for ACA subsidies.

Norwegian study links mRNA COVID vaccines to heightened heart risks in teens

According to BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, while pericarditis is inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart—both can be serious, particularly in physically active individuals and have been linked to sudden cardiac events.

Dr. Clayton J. Baker, an internal medicine physician, told the Epoch Times that the findings confirm mRNA vaccines “cause myocarditis in adolescents” and that the second dose “dramatically increases toxicity.”

Experts challenge study’s limitations

While the researchers concluded that the vaccines demonstrated overall safety, independent scientists criticized the study’s narrow risk windows—ranging from 14 to 56 days—arguing they likely undercounted long-term complications.

Brian Hooker, Chief Scientific Officer of Children’s Health Defense, warned that myocarditis cases “significantly increase long-term mortality,” with 25%-30% of patients suffering lasting damage. A separate Lancet study funded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that 60% of young myocarditis patients still showed heart abnormalities six months post-vaccination.

Steve Kirsch, founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, accused the researchers of “deliberate narrative control,” noting that critical findings—such as post-window myocarditis cases—were buried in the data. “They know most readers never look past the first page,” he said.

Conflicts of interest and calls for accountability

Several study authors disclosed financial ties to pharmaceutical giants, including AstraZeneca and GSK, prompting concerns about bias. Critics argue that the study’s framing downplayed risks while emphasizing rare adverse events as statistically insignificant.

“The evidence is indisputable—these shots cause myocarditis in young people at unacceptable rates,” said Baker. “Given the minimal risk of severe COVID-19 in adolescents, these products should not remain on the market.”

The Norwegian study adds to growing evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines carry disproportionate risks for teenagers, particularly after multiple doses. As governments and health agencies weigh booster recommendations, experts demand rigorous, long-term safety reviews—and honesty about potential harms. For families navigating vaccination decisions, the findings reinforce the importance of informed consent, natural immunity and alternative health strategies in an era of escalating medical skepticism.

Social Media Users Respond with Facts When Writer at The Atlantic Asks Why Trust in Public Health Institutions Decreased Significantly After Covid Scam

Conor Friedersdorf, a staff writer for the far-left outlet The Atlantic, took to X to ask why there has been a precipitous drop in the people’s trust in public health institutions following the endless gaslighting and lies during the Covid era, and we was on the receiving end of a litany of truth bombs.

Friedersdorf asked, “A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly.”

“If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I’m hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.”

One person cited the ‘massive and inexplicable” CDC failures.

The Gateway Pundit reported that a peer-reviewed study exposed that the CDC inflated Covid deaths by 1600% throughout the 2020 election cycle.

Others noted the politically motivated rules surrounding public gatherings.

“When public health officials who were insisting on extraordinary measures of isolation to include the forbidding of outdoor church services and funerals unanimously announced in May 2020 that mass BLM protests were an acceptable COVID risk because racism was worse than COVID, I learned that public health was pseudoscientific activism.”

Massachusetts Agrees to Delete Data From App It ‘Secretly Installed’ During Pandemic

Massachusetts officials have agreed to delete data from a contact tracing application that people said was installed on their phones without their permission during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under a settlement agreement approved by a federal judge on March 31, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health “shall (a) destroy any Primary Data in the Department’s possession, custody, and control, which the Department, exercising all due diligence, has located and … that was made available to the Department from the COVID Exposure Notification Setting on Android Devices; and (b) certify in writing to Class Counsel that such data has been destroyed and will not be provided to any third party.”

The state’s health commissioner also promised not to have data collecting applications installed on people’s phones without their permission for five years.

The settlement came in a case brought by plaintiffs who said the app in question, known as MassNotify v.3 or Exposure Notification Settings Feature-MA, was “secretly installed” on their phones without their permission.

American Institute of Economic Research senior fellow Robert Wright, who lives in Massachusetts, said the app was downloaded onto his Android phone around July 1, 2021, without his knowledge. Johnny Kula, a New Hampshire resident who travels to Massachusetts on a daily basis for work, also said he discovered the app on his phone around the same time, and that it was back on the phone later in 2021 after he uninstalled it.

The plaintiffs’ claims echoed reviews from app store users complaining they had not downloaded the app, but it appeared on their phones. The app, which allowed people to say they had tested positive for COVID-19, and alerted others who had recently been close in location to those people, was downloaded more than one million times, according to court filings. Similar applications were developed by at least 24 other states.

Big Pharma Giants Pfizer and BioNTech Forced to Shut Down COVID-19 Booster Shot Trials After Americans Refuse to Be Guinea Pigs

Major Big Pharma companies have abruptly halted their latest COVID-19 mRNA “booster” trial because they literally couldn’t find enough willing participants.

After years of gaslighting the American public, raking in hundreds of billions in profits from experimental shots that were shoved down our throats under the guise of “public health,” the same corporations that partnered with the Biden regime, Anthony Fauci, and the lying mainstream media are now facing the cold, hard reality: Americans are done being lab rats.

According to internal letters sent to trial investigators and obtained by Reuters, Pfizer is ending its study of “updated” shots in healthy adults aged 50 to 64.

The company admitted it was “unable to generate relevant data” because recruitment had effectively hit a brick wall.

Reports indicate that more than 80% of potential recruits didn’t even make it past pre-screening, or simply refused to participate.

The trial, which aimed to enroll a massive 25,000 to 30,000 participants, folded after failing to meet even the most basic enrollment targets.

This comes at a time when the “science” is being scrutinized like never before. Under the current administration, the FDA has been pressured to actually require randomized placebo-controlled trials, the very thing skeptics have been demanding for years.

UK’s New Pandemic Plan Would Turn Big Tech Into a Mass Location Tracking Network

Britain’s new £1 billion ($1.3m) pandemic strategy treats a future outbreak as a “certainty” and proposes building a contact tracing system that would feed on real-time location data harvested with the help of Silicon Valley’s biggest companies.

The plan, published by the Department of Health and Social Care, also calls for PPE stockpiles, new emergency legislation, and a biosecurity research hub in Essex.

But the centerpiece that deserves the most scrutiny is the contact tracing proposal, which would create a surveillance architecture designed to track the movements of millions of people, ready to switch on at a moment’s notice.

The UKHSA will run the new system, which the strategy document says will use “live location data” and artificial intelligence to provide “a more rapid, large-scale detection and alert system during pandemics.”

The agency plans to “explore options to work with ‘big tech’” to build it, with deployment targeted for 2030. The government is pre-building a location surveillance system in partnership with companies whose entire business model depends on harvesting as much personal data as possible.

The strategy doesn’t name which companies, what data-sharing agreements would look like, or what happens to your location history once the pandemic ends.

The UK government has already tracked its own citizens through their phones without telling them. A 2021 report by the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviors (SPI-B) revealed that government-funded researchers tracked one in ten people in Britain via their mobile phones in February of that year, without the users’ knowledge or permission.

Researchers used cell phone mobility data to select over 4,200 vaccinated individuals, then monitored them through 40 call data records with corresponding location observations. The data was used for behavioral analysis, tracking radius of movement on vaccination day, whether people visited businesses during opening hours, and whether they went straight home afterwards. None of this was made public at the time.

When the tracking came to light, a spokesperson for Big Brother Watch said citizens would be “disturbed to discover they were unwittingly tracked and subjected to behavioral analysis via their phones.”

“No one expects that by going to get a vaccine they will be tracked and monitored by their own Government,” the spokesperson said. “This is deeply chilling and could be extremely damaging to public trust in medical confidentiality. Between looming Covid passports and vaccine phone surveillance, this Government is turning Britain into a Big Brother state under the cover of Covid. This should be a wake up call to us all.”

The government’s defense was that the data was collected at cell tower level, not the individual level, and that it was “GDPR-compliant” data provided by a company that “collected, cleaned, and anonymized” it.

The Lives Ruined by Covid Jabs

The Daily Telegraph has run a feature on the “lives ruined by Covid jabs”, including the more than 2,500 deaths reported to the MHRA. Does this mean it’s finally acceptable for the mainstream media to talk about this? Here’s an excerpt.

Having been a dental nurse for more than a decade, Nikola Brindley was familiar with vaccination requirements for healthcare workers. So when she was asked to have AstraZeneca’s Covid jab in July 2021, she agreed without hesitation.

But within hours, Brindley was in A&E fighting for her life as an allergic reaction began to shut down multiple organ systems. “I collapsed on the doorway, and pretty much lost the ability to walk,” she recalls. “My husband rushed me to hospital, my heart rate had soared and I couldn’t speak. We were told that if I’d been 10 minutes later, there would have been nothing they could have done.”

Nearly five years later, the 36 year-old, who lives on the Isle of Man, remains profoundly affected. She lives with ongoing brain fog, chronic pain, headaches and gastrointestinal problems, and requires monitoring from a variety of specialists. Her worsening fatigue has left her requiring a wheelchair, while some days, she struggles to keep down food. Previously active and sporty, she is so disabled that her two children, aged eight and 11, have been certified as young carers.

“I genuinely thought that it was just going to be another vaccine,” she says. “Take it, get on with things. Instead, my life has been reduced to trying to manage symptoms every single day.”

Horrendous side effects represent the darker legacy of the Covid vaccine rollout, which, years on, remains a deeply thorny topic in public health. …

Yet while the vast majority of the 50 million people in the UK (and in other nations) who received Covid vaccines experienced few or no ill effects, there are those like Brindley, who either suffered serious harm or, most tragically of all, lost their lives.

There are no official statistics on how many people were impacted in this way. However, data from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) indicates that the numbers are not insignificant. While these reports are not proof of the Covid vaccines causing serious harm and death, in the UK, as of February 24th, there had been:

For all the data collected, the plight of people who suffered Covid vaccine injuries has been handled markedly differently around the world. Authorities in Japan and South Korea have officially recognised a wide range of cases of vaccine-induced harm, from heart inflammation to sudden hearing loss, and have compensated tens of thousands of people accordingly.

Former Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta talks about her COVID jab injury and mother’s death

Former Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta has claimed she was gravely injured by a Covid-19 vaccine and that her mother died after receiving a dose from what she described as a “deadly lot”, in an interview published online this week.

Speaking to Apollo the Original, Sutta said she felt a responsibility to speak out, saying her experience had led to professional fallout in Hollywood and warning that “there are too many people dying”.

In the interview, posted to YouTube on March 23, 2026, Sutta said she received a vaccine in 2021 shortly after having a baby, and later described her mother becoming seriously ill months after vaccination, losing weight and suffering breathing issues before her death. She also criticised what she called the “mainstream narrative” and said people were being discouraged from questioning vaccine safety.

Sutta said COVID vaccine-related injuries were being misdiagnosed and underreported, and said she would continue speaking publicly about her experience.

BLM Activist Ordered to Pay Back $224,000 in COVID Relief Funds, Donations

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston was ordered on March 23 to pay back more than $224,000 in pandemic relief funds and donations to her nonprofit.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty last fall to multiple fraud charges and filing false tax returns. She was sentenced to serve six months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service, and four years of probation.

Federal District Court Judge Angel Kelly in Boston set the monetary judgment equal to the amount of money Cannon-Grant admitted taking from nonprofit Violence in Boston, which Cannon-Grant founded and where she formerly served as CEO.

In March 2023, a grand jury handed down a 27-count indictment against Cannon-Grant and her husband Clark Grant, charging them with fraud in connection to Violence in Boston, which they founded in 2017. Grant died in a motorcycle crash three weeks after the indictment was served while driving about 30 minutes east of Boston.

Federal prosecutors said Cannon-Grant paid herself about $25,100 in 2020 and more than $170,000 in 2021 from the nonprofit’s account, according to the charging documents.

About $181,037 of the total funds in question were donated to the organization and diverted for her personal use, $33,426 was obtained from pandemic unemployment assistance benefits, and $12,600 were from rental assistance funds, according to the judge.

Biden officials pushed COVID booster harder after surveillance found stroke increase: Sen. Johnson

The Biden administration pushed COVID-19 boosters for elderly people even harder after its vaccine safety surveillance systems discovered, as early as November 2022, “statistically significant safety signals for ischemic stroke” in that age group following uptake of the Pfizer bivalent, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy in a letter Monday, disclosed Wednesday.

The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations chair released nearly 2,000 pages of “relevant HHS records” in conjunction with the letter, in 10 batches, documenting the stroke signal and internal communications between officials “acknowledging significant statistical limitations in their ability to detect safety signals through their data analyses.”

The Biden White House next made edits to a draft Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration “communications plan” to increase booster uptake, in January 2023, that “downplayed the significance of the safety signal, changing a sentence that stated that the ‘signal is moderately elevated’ to the ‘signal is slightly elevated,'” Johnson told Kennedy.

“Biden health officials posted on FDA’s website that ‘no change is recommended in COVID-19 vaccination practice,'” the same month, even as they “initiated multiple studies and statistical analyses — including a so-called ‘Stroke Project” — to investigate the validity of their assertion” through at least September 2025, Johnson’s office said.

He asked Kennedy for more information about detection of ischemic stroke following the booster because “the full extent of HHS’s awareness of the ischemic stroke safety signal remains incomplete and key records are still missing.”

Biden officials downplayed the risk of ischemic stroke they found in coadministered COVID and flu vaccines in fall 2023.

Several months earlier they approved “additional investigation” of the booster stroke signal even while emphasizing they weren’t changing vaccine recommendations, but quickly dismissed the signal after using a “different methodology.“
