Who decides what’s misinformation? U.N. pandemic declaration takes aim at vaccine hesitancy

The United Nations General Assembly appointed itself the global referee on what you can believe about vaccines and pandemics, adopting a sweeping political declaration on October 12 by a 153-3 vote that calls on nations to counter “misinformation” and vaccine hesitancy. However, the United States joined Israel and Argentina in voting no, signaling deep divides over who should call the shots on public health: voters at home or bureaucrats abroad.

The 64-clause, nonbinding document emerged after objections from the Trump administration and a few other governments blocked consensus and forced a vote. The U.S. delegation objected to reproductive health language it said failed to exclude “harmful gender ideology,” which it said undermines parental authority.

The U.S. also balked at the text’s repeated references to equity and its nods to the Pandemic Agreement and International Health Regulations, which the U.S. said would commit countries to agreements they never joined. Italy also challenged wording on disinformation during earlier talks but ultimately voted yes, while New Zealand and Paraguay abstained. Critics warn the declaration sets the stage for expanded surveillance, censorship, and fast-tracked vaccines — all under the guise of global health security.

Critics call the declaration toothless but troubling

The declaration, which David Bell, a public health physician and senior scholar at the Brownstone Institute, dismissed as an empty bureaucratic gesture, still backs the WHO’s controversial Pandemic Agreement and flags a $15 billion annual gap in pandemic preparedness funding. Bell warned that the broader push diverts resources toward “saleable commodities for rare but very profitable international outbreaks.”

Valerie Ferrell, policy director of Stand for Health Freedom, likened the document to an unholy political vow renewal that reaffirms the U.N.’s fondness for “begging for funds, and hunting and killing ‘misinformation’ so people are kept in the dark.”

The U.S. withdrawal from the WHO, ordered by President Trump in January 2025 and effective this year, further underscores the administration’s refusal to hand over public health decisions to international bodies.

Paragraph 57 targets vaccine hesitancy as ‘misinformation’

The most contentious line, paragraph 57, asks member states to counter “health-related misinformation, disinformation, including countering vaccine hesitancy” and to build trust in public health systems. Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher of the McCullough Foundation said the provision should alarm anyone who values “scientific freedom, informed consent, and the right to question public-health authorities.”

Opponents also bristle at the text’s embrace of “infodemic management” and a whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach to pandemics, warning it could bring back the lockdowns, mandates, and censorship seen during COVID.

Pathogen-sharing talks could produce a binding deal

Beyond the nonbinding declaration, an annex on pathogen access and benefit-sharing (PABS) remains the true prize. Under the proposed system, participating nations would hand over pathogen samples and genetic sequences and receive a cut of whatever vaccines, treatments, and diagnostics result. Talks have stalled over intellectual property fights between wealthy and developing nations.

Researcher James Roguski told The Defender that PABS is the “main event.” The Pandemic Agreement can’t open for signature until the annex is complete, and Roguski said talks resume next month. If negotiators strike a deal and the World Health Assembly approves the agreement in May 2027, he said, the next U.S. administration could sign on or rejoin the WHO.

Trust in public health isn’t manufactured by drowning out doubters. It’s earned by telling people the whole truth, side effects and all. And with drugmakers lining up to turn shared pathogen samples into profitable vaccines, everyone at the table seems to have something to sell except the skeptics.

They Got the COVID Vaccine. When They Were Injured, Doctors, Military and Health Agencies Blew Them Off

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a recognized expert in cardiac health, is known for his public advocacy around medical and pharmaceutical ethics. He began questioning the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines after his father died of a vaccine-induced heart attack in 2022, and later went public with his concerns.

But what most people don’t know is that before his father died, Malhotra himself was injured after receiving two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in 2020 and 2021.

“Within a few weeks of being vaccinated, I suffered inexplicable, significant clinical depression that was diagnosed by a psychiatrist and that lasted several months,” Malhotra told The Defender. “I needed psychotherapy to help me get better — and was 80% there when my father suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.”

Malhotra isn’t alone. Studies and V-safe data link COVID-19 vaccines to a host of mental health issues.

In some cases, victims and their family members attributed mental health issues directly to COVID-19 vaccines.

In others, people report that physical vaccine injuries led to mental health issues — in chronic pain with no access to treatment, they report struggling with daily life, professional obligations and strained relationships with loved ones.

Some people — including the family of a person who committed suicide — told The Defender their mental health suffered when federal health agencies refused to acknowledge the injuries they reported to V-safe and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

An analysis by The Defender of data reported to V-safe during the COVID-19 pandemic identified over 300 reports of severe psychiatric disorders, including reports of suicide and attempted suicide, triggered by the COVID-19 vaccine.

Those interviewed said the V-safe data reflect their own experiences or those of their injured family members. Some described being gaslit by their doctors.

Psychotherapist Joseph Sansone, Ph.D., author of “Psychopathic Authoritarianism: A Disease of the Soul,” said it’s not uncommon for physicians to dismiss the vaccine-injured and their struggles.

“Medical doctors, in many cases, told them to get the injections,” Sansone said. “Now, when the victims are suffering from chronic disease and illness, these same doctors gaslight the victims and not admitting the injuries and diseases are from the shots.” This often leads to feelings of “betrayal and violation” among the injured.

Following last week’s announcement that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is launching a new clinic to study and treat vaccine injuries, people interviewed by The Defender called for more — and better — treatment of vaccine injuries and a stronger focus on the mental health struggles that often accompany these injuries.

COVID Vaccines Triggered Psychiatric Disorders, Including Suicides

Thousands of people reported mental health challenges — including at least two suicides and three attempted suicides — to V-safe after receiving COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the V-safe app in December 2020 to allow the public to report adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines.

Data analyzed by The Defender include V-safe reports from people with a history of mental health issues before the vaccine, who reported those issues became significantly worse after the vaccine.

Other reports came from people who experienced thoughts of suicide or self-harm for the first time after being vaccinated.

The data also include reports from people who said physical injuries related to COVID-19 vaccines took a toll on their mental health.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) last week launched a clinic to study and treat vaccine injuries — less than a month after React19, an advocacy group for the vaccine-injured, released an analysis of V-safe’s entries that included widespread pleas for help.

React19’s analysis found a similar number of people expressing suicidal statements or a death wish (344 participants) — and 8,193 “cries for help” from 1,468 people.

Psychotherapist Joseph Sansone, Ph.D., told The Defender there is evidence that COVID and mRNA injections are “associated with anxiety, depression, insomnia, brain fog, dizziness, psychosis, mania and other mental health issues.”

Sansone, author of “Psychopathic Authoritarianism: A Disease of the Soul,” said the mental health challenges can also result from the ongoing physical pain caused by vaccine injuries. Those injuries can lead to “subsequent grief and loss,” he said.

“Many victims struggling with physical health issues struggle with grief and loss related to their physical illnesses. This is only outweighed by the sense of betrayal and violation,” Sansone said.

COVID Pandemic’s Corruption of Science Threatens Patient Care, Immunologist Warns

The future of patient care is at stake when scientists are discouraged from challenging prevailing views, immunologist Robert Clancy, Ph.D., told medical commentator John Campbell, Ph.D.

“Who would want to go into medicine today?” Clancy asked during an interview last week. “It’s been so controlled, and the bureaucracy is suffocating.”

Clancy, an Australian medical researcher, author of more than 300 peer-reviewed papers, and University of Newcastle emeritus professor, said the pressure extends beyond COVID-19 studies. Medical journals sometimes reject work unrelated to COVID-19 if the researchers have a history of challenging the mainstream pandemic narrative.

“It’s not just that they’re blacklisting articles related to COVID. They’re blacklisting people who [were] foolish enough to write on these topics,” he said.

Clancy’s new book, “COVID and the Corruption of Medical Science: A Quadrant Chronicle,” examines what he sees as the pandemic response’s lasting damage to scientific independence.

The book collects 14 essays he previously published in Quadrant, an Australian literary, cultural and political journal. Clancy said he turned to the publication during COVID-19 because “it tells things as it is.” Other journals and media outlets “would not publish the data and the evidence and the truth,” he said.

Campbell agreed, saying some mainstream medical journals “have been infiltrated by … this dominant narrative that only one way of thinking is allowed. It’s quite an alarming situation,” he said.

Clancy added, “It’s happening … in a not-so-subtle way right across the medical profession.”

In Shadow of Pending Lawsuit, CDC Again Recommends COVID Vaccines for Infants and Young Kids

The CDC quietly reinstated its July 2025 COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, including recommending the vaccine for “off-label” use for infants and children, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., reported. The changes bring the CDC recommendations in line with a court order issued in March by U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy. “CHD’s position is that these vaccines should be off the market,” Children’s Health Defense CEO Mary Holland said today.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly reinstated its July 2025 COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, including recommending the vaccine for “off-label” use among infants and children, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., reported.

According to the CDC’s updated webpage, the agency now recommends the COVID-19 shot for all adults ages 18 and older and for children ages 6 months to 17 years who are moderately to severely immunocompromised.

Psychological Operation

In January of 2020, if you were duped by the claims made about a novel deadly virus, you are not alone and you are not stupid. Your brain was functioning just as designed. The propagation of fear, that your safety was under threat, started a chain of events that put you into the ‘fight, freeze or flight’ mode. That is perfectly normal, humanity would not have survived as long as it has without this basic instinct.

You should feel embarrassed. I don’t mean that in a facetious way, let me explain why. The feelings you experience when you realize you’ve been conned can be uncomfortable, they are meant to be, they are there to send you a message. You can do one of two things with that message, sit with the uncomfortable feeling, ask yourself what you missed, and try to learn something from the experience. The alternative is to let your ego take control, shut out any thoughts of self-reflection, bury the experience in the deepest recesses of your mind, learn nothing and set yourself up to be fooled again.

This essay was written to help explain the events, give you the knowledge, courage and support so that you can be better prepared for the next time. Terms used throughout the essay, like virus, gene, contagion and immunity are those used by the medical profession and do not necessarily reflect the view of the author that these things exist or function the way they are normally presented.

So where are we now, over 6 years since the start of the Covid1984 scamdemic?

There are still people who trust in the system and put their faith in it to act as their saviour.

Trust the government. Really? Even after all the hypocrisy, thousands of lies and scandals?

Trust the banks. Really? Even after all the corruption, fraud and money-laundering from the likes of HSBC, FTX and Deutsche Bank?

Trust the doctors. Really? Even after the Remdesivir and Midazolam atrocities?

Trust the experts. Really? Even after Climategate and Faucigate?

Trust the corporations. Really? Even after the Twitter files, Trusted News Initiative and Pfizergate?

Anyone who didn’t realize the fraud by the end of January 2020 had ample opportunity to see all the documents produced by the authorities over the past 6 years.

The 1.5 million Euro prize for anyone who can provide proof of a novel bat coronavirus isolated from a human, remains unclaimed. The hundreds of FOIA requests made to government departments and scientific organizations asking for proof of the SARS CoV-2 virus have been answered, they have none. In March of 2021 the Chinese CDC admitted that they never isolated a virus.

The WhatsApp messages of former UK health secretary Matt Hancock reveal he was laughing behind everyone’s back saying the government was scaring the pants off the British public (with their BIT psy-op) and asking when they were going to launch the Omicron variant (obviously not literally release something, just release the next psy-op).

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, “We will continue to be your single source of truth, unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth.” Classic Orwellian newspeak straight from the pages of the novel 1984. In other words, we will tell you what we want you to know, what to think and what to do, and we will create laws (online security bill) to prevent anyone else from giving you information that might expose our lies.

These parasites have no problem standing in front of a camera and lying to your face on a daily basis because they know the public will do nothing about it, they know the public will line up at the polling station to put them or their colleagues from the same or different political party back into office, they know the public are weak, subservient and indoctrinated to believe they need to rely on the nanny state to save them from everything, tell them what to do, when to do it and how to do it.

This article explains the psychology as to why so much of the world’s population remains uninformed, ignorant or asleep, not because the people are stupid but because the mind-control and indoctrination by educators and corporate media over many decades has been so intense that they didn’t stand a chance. We’ve all been there but some of us have broken free of the trap.

A famous English researcher and author calls this the ‘Perception Deception’.

From Baric’s Blueprint to SV40 and Back Again

Ralph Baric’s 2007 paper stands as a foundational reference in synthetic viral genomics, demonstrating how a SARS-like coronavirus could be de novo assembled from published sequence data alone. Framed as a risk assessment for synthetic biology in the context of biodefense, the paper provides a detailed technical roadmap for constructing infectious chimeric coronaviruses using seamless reverse-genetics techniques. This work exemplifies dual-use (civilian and military) research of concern: the very same tools developed for pandemic preparedness and biodefense can be readily applied to engineer viruses with enhanced pathogenicity, transmissibility, or immune evasion. 

With the unexpected discovery of SV40 promoter-enhancer-origin sequences in the Pfizer Covid-19 mRNA injectable products, it becomes apparent how biodefense can become bioterrorism very quickly. These powerful mammalian regulatory elements, retained from a standard pcDNA3.1-type production plasmid, were never intended for human administration. Their detection in commercial vials links a synthetic biology framework directly to the manufacturing process of the “countermeasures” themselves – turning a theoretical dual-use discussion into a concrete, real-world example of how synthetic tools and legacy genetic elements entered hundreds of millions of people under the banner of biodefense.

Short Summary of Paper

Ralph S. Baric’s 2006 paper entitled: “Synthetic Viral Genomics: Risks and Benefits for Science and Society” reviews how synthetic genomics and reverse genetics has transformed virology, both for good and ill. It details the Baltimore classification of viruses and explains established reverse-genetics techniques → from infectious cDNA clones and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vectors for large DNA viruses, to seamless assembly methods (ie: “No See’m” sites using type IIS restriction enzymes) for RNA viruses like coronaviruses.

Florida Man Convicted of Billing Medicare $15 Million for Blood Tests Patients Never Wanted

A federal jury in the Southern District of Florida has convicted a Florida man who was the vice president of a testing laboratory and owned and operated a separate marketing company for his role in a fraud scheme that took advantage of patients who wanted COVID-19 tests during the pandemic and were instead given additional blood tests they did not want or need, for which Medicare was billed over $15 million.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Joseph Rodriguez, 58, of Coral Springs, perpetrated a scheme that exploited elderly patients at residential country clubs in the West Palm Beach area who were desperate for COVID-19 nasal swab and blood antibody tests. 

“The defendant took advantage of patients desperate for COVID-19 tests at the height of the pandemic to bill Medicare for unnecessary blood tests,” said Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald of the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division. “Such egregious conduct in the face of a global pandemic cannot stand and will be prosecuted. The Fraud Division remains committed to holding the perpetrators of such schemes accountable.”

When those patients signed up to receive just swab and antibody tests at drive-through testing events at their residence clubs organized by Rodriguez through his marketing company, Phoenix Health, they were, in addition to the COVID-19 tests they wanted, subjected to tens or even hundreds of unnecessary blood tests that they did not want or need, and that no doctor ordered as required. These tests, which ranged from hormone tests to heavy metal tests for arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, were then billed to Medicare as if they were medically necessary and ordered by a treating physician.

“This case highlights a troubling scheme that took advantage of vulnerable patients who sought COVID‑19 testing during a national public health crisis, only to be subjected to additional and unnecessary blood tests intended to increase profits,” said Acting Deputy Inspector General for Investigations Miranda L. Bennett of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). “By placing personal gain above the well‑being of elderly individuals, the defendant violated their trust and threatened the integrity of our health care system. HHS‑OIG remains steadfast in its mission to protect public health and ensure that individuals who abuse federal health care programs and the people they serve are held fully accountable.”

New Clarity on the Creation of the Virus/Vaccine

Edward Snowden exposed government surveillance of its citizens. Daniel Ellsberg exposed government lies. US Marine Major Joseph Murphy exposed something larger: the biodefense blueprint behind a pandemic that killed millions. Snowden’s leak sparked a worldwide debate about privacy. Murphy’s leak — the DARPA DEFUSE proposal — should have sparked a global reckoning about the real origins of SARS-CoV-2.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) serves as a venture capital arm of the world’s largest bureaucracy: the Department of Defense. It funds high-risk academic research to protect US troops from future threats. 

One team proposed modifying bat coronaviruses to spread more effectively—not among humans, but mammalian bats. Testing would occur in Wuhan, where the right bat colonies existed. This was not a fringe idea. It was a biodefense concept encouraged by DARPA under the first Trump administration.

Taken together, the 2018 DEFUSE proposal, plus FOIA documents, emails, and peer-reviewed papers, support Murphy’s hypothesis: SARS-CoV-2 was created in US labs but tested in Wuhan, where it accidentally leaked. This theory has since been debated in the scientific literature, including Nature.

The U.S. intelligence community did not miss this. It moved the unclassified 2018 DARPA project, advertised on Twitter, into a classified 2021 folder.

The 2018 Blueprint

The very agencies that claimed to be searching for answers had the facts all along, stored in a top-secret folder. They knew that Peter Daszak (EcoHealth), Zhengli Shi (WIV), Linfa Wang (Duke), and Ralph Baric (UNC) had proposed inserting furin cleavage sites into SARS-like viruses and testing them on Chinese bats in Wuhan.

Florida AG Sues Pfizer, Bourla Over Deceptive Marketing of COVID Vaccines

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Thursday sued Pfizer and its CEO, Albert Bourla, alleging that the drugmaker misled the public by marketing its COVID-19 vaccine as safe and effective while not disclosing the vaccine’s potential risks to pregnant women, children and teenagers.

The 49-page lawsuit alleges Pfizer violated Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act by deceptively marketing its vaccine to the public in turn for making billions of dollars in profit.

According to the complaint, Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine marketing campaign focused on two principal themes: that the shot “posed no material safety risks” and that “mass vaccination was necessary to stop the transmission of COVID-19” — even though Pfizer never tested the vaccine’s ability to stop the virus from spreading.

Pfizer possessed extensive evidence that its vaccine caused serious adverse events — including 1,223 reported deaths following vaccination as of February 2021 and 52 miscarriages among vaccinated pregnant women. However, the company assured the public the vaccine was safe.

“Today we sued Pfizer for deceptively marketing the products as safe — making billions — while pregnant women were miscarrying their babies and teenagers were having heart attacks,” Uthmeier said in a statement.
