‘Let’s not jump to conclusions’: Joe Biden’s acting White House budget director REFUSES to rule out sending more US money to Wuhan lab until science proves if it leaked coronavirus

The acting head of the White House budget office has refused to rule out sending more US money to the Wuhan lab COVID-19 is feared to have leaked from. 

Acting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Shalanda Young said she would ‘never make that commitment’ to cut all future funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

Young faced questions from lawmakers about Joe Biden‘s budget proposal during a Budget Committee hearing Wednesday, including pointed questions over the sending of federal funds to the Chinese lab.

There is a growing theory that COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan lab during research into bat coronaviruses. Some experts who support the lab leak theory believe the virus, which has so far killed 3.75 million people, is a natural one, while others claim it may have been genetically modified.  

US government officials previously donated $826,000 to the lab over a five year period to help it research viruses like COVID, which is believed to have originally come from bats.

Heart inflammation cases in young men higher than expected after mRNA vaccines -U.S. CDC

Preliminary findings from two vaccine safety monitoring systems suggest a higher-than-expected number of cases of heart inflammation after the second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in young men, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday.

More than half of the myocarditis or pericarditis cases reported to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System after patients had received either the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines were in people between the ages of 12 and 24, the CDC said. Those age groups accounted for less that 9% of the doses administered.

“We clearly have an imbalance there,” Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, said in a presentation here to an advisory committee to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that is meeting on Thursday.

He said that the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) – another safety monitoring system – showed an increased incidence of the heart inflammation in 16 to 39 year olds after their second dose of the shots when compared to the rate observed after their first dose.

Creator of CDC coronavirus vaccine app dies after jab, company blames “covid”

Joel Robert Kallman, an Oracle employee who created a breakthrough app for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to track Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccination progress, has died, ironically, from getting his second jab.

According to reports, Kallman, of Delaware, Ohio, died on May 25, just days after receiving his second dose of mRNA vaccine for the Chinese Virus. Kallman received his first dose of the shot several months prior.

“I got my first vaccination today,” Kallman tweeted back on March 26. “I am incredibly proud of @Oracle and the team that worked tirelessly to create and run v-safe for the USA.”

After waiting the allotted amount of time after his first dose, Kallman went in for his second, only to die not long afterward. The mainstream media, of course, is attempting to shroud the link between Kallman’s second dose and his subsequent death.
