Two boxers are CLEARED to compete in the Olympics as women, despite being disqualified from the World Championships last year… as former athletes claim that ‘gender ideology will get women KILLED’

Two boxers – banned from the world championships for being deemed biologically male – have been cleared to compete at the Olympics as women.

A row has erupted in Paris after it emerged that Imane Khelif, of Algeria, and Lin Yu-Ting, of Taiwan, were thrown out of the tournament last year amid questions over their biological sex.

Now, one former Olympian has claimed that gender ideology ‘will get women KILLED’ while Northern Ireland great Barry McGuigan described the situation as ‘shocking’.

IOC bosses say both meet eligibility criteria and will box over the coming days.

The pair were disqualified from the Women’s World Boxing Championships in March of 2023 in New Delhi after a series of DNA tests were ordered amid concerns over the sex of some of those taking part.

At the time Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association (IBA) claimed the tests had proven the athletes – including Khelif and Yu-Ting, who will both fight later this week – had ‘XY chromosomes’. He added that they ‘uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretend to be women’.

But the IBA has been stripped of the right to run Olympic boxing competitions amid concerns over governance and the IOC say all athletes involved are eligible to compete, wih current rules viewed as more relaxed than those of the IBA.

Following last year’s ban, the Algerian Olympic Committee hit back, claiming the disqualification was part of a ‘conspiracy’ to stop them from winning a gold meal and said ‘medical reasons’ were behind high testosterone levels.

After the disqualification, Mexico’s Brianda Tamara came forward with her own experience of fighting Khelif earlier in the tournament.

‘When I fought with her I felt very out of my depth,’ she wrote on X. ‘Her blows hurt me a lot, I don’t think I had ever felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer, nor in my sparring with men. Thank God that day I got out of the ring safely, and it’s good that they finally realized.’

But Khelif, a welterweight, is due to fight Italy’s Angela Carini on Thursday, with Yu-Ting, a featherweight, in action on Friday.

Clinical Trials of Childhood Vaccines: No Placebo-Controlled Long-Term Trials

Not a single routine childhood vaccine was licensed based on a long-term placebo-controlled trial. Not one. See the carefully created and fully referenced chart at https://icandecide.org/no-placebo which was compiled by our firm with funding from the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN).

I will also be holding a Spaces event on Twitter this Tuesday at noon Eastern time to discuss this chart: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1ynJODQVbDXxR. See you there!

Pesticides Designed to ‘Edit’ the Genes of Plants, Animals, Insects — and Humans?

We’re used to gene editing being something that’s done in controlled and contained conditions in the lab, with just the final product being unleashed in the environment.

But coming down the pipeline are pesticides designed to “edit” the genes of organisms out of doors, in the uncontrolled conditions of the open environment.

Applied by spraying, irrigation, or soil pellets, these outdoor-use genetic pesticides are claimed to be more environmentally friendly than chemical pesticides.

The problem is that these genetic pesticides could also “edit” the genes of what scientists call non-target organisms — i.e., people, animals and insects in the environment could become collateral damage.

“Editing” these organisms’ genes means silencing or disrupting their normal functioning.

And the deregulation of gene editing that is occurring and being aggressively promoted around the globe means that these products could be used in open fields with no prior risk assessment, traceability, or monitoring.

Sounding the alarm about this “Wild West” scenario is a new study by an international team of scientists.

The study, based on computer predictive modeling, found that exposure to a CRISPR/Cas gene-editing pesticide could unintentionally alter the genes of a wide assortment of non-target organisms, with potentially serious or even fatal consequences.

And leading the list of potential victims of unintended gene editing are humans.

Congress Must Reject Monsanto-Bayer Plan to Avoid Liability for Poisoning Humans, Environment

Millions of American users of glyphosate-based Roundup have likely assumed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would never have approved the pesticide unless it was safe.

But the science-based truth has never been as cut and dried as the EPA and Bayer, which bought Roundup maker Monsanto in 2018, have made it sound.

In a series of trials across the country, juries — and the public –— have learned that despite the safety claims by Bayer and the EPA, hundreds of studies by independent scientists link glyphosate herbicides to serious health harms, including cancer.

Even though Bayer maintains that its glyphosate products are safe and not carcinogenic, the company has thus far agreed to pay out more than $10 billion in settlement costs to tens of thousands of glyphosate users suffering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma and thousands of lawsuits remain.

In an effort to block further litigation, the chemical giant has turned its focus to getting federal and state legislation passed to block Roundup users from suing the company for damages.

According to a recent Washington Post article, Bayer helped draft language for a legislative measure that would limit the types of lawsuits brought by Roundup users.

That measure is included in the U.S. House of Representatives version of the 2024 Farm Bill, which is slated to be finalized later this year. The company has also been pushing lawmakers in several states to pass similar measures.

Key to Bayer’s messaging to legislators is that, because glyphosate is EPA-approved, research showing its harms should be rejected. But the process by which the EPA approved glyphosate decades ago has never been reassuring to independent scientists such as myself.

EPA scientists conducting initial assessments of glyphosate in the 1980s discovered several mice dosed with the pesticide developed rare kidney tumors, prompting the scientists to confirm the pesticide’s link to cancer.

Then the EPA’s pesticides office did what it often does: It ignored the troubling research and the recommendation of its own scientists and approved the pesticide without acknowledging its documented link to cancer.

Even the EPA’s subsequent assessments and reapprovals of the pesticide, required every 15 years, have been plagued by questionable science. In 2022 a federal appeals court ruled that the agency’s finding that glyphosate has no link to cancer violated its own cancer guidelines and “was not supported by substantial evidence.”

Now it’s these problematic EPA endorsements that Bayer insists should be the basis for putting limits on the lawsuits glyphosate users can file.

Longtime pro-jab apologist finally comes clean about lack of science proving vaccine safety

After decades of aggressively promoting vaccines of all kinds, Dr. Stanley Plotkin, the world’s leading vaccinologist, is finally coming clean about the fact that vaccine safety has never been robustly studied as he has long claimed.

A paper he co-authored that was published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on July 6, 2024, reveals that no vaccine has ever been properly studied either before or after their release.

Aaron Siri tweeted a lengthy post about Plotkin’s new paper in the NEJM, which admits that “prelicensure clinical trials have limited sample sizes [and] follow-up durations,” as well as that “there are not resources earmarked for postauthorization safety studies.”

“That is an incredible reversal,” Siri said before unpacking the rest of the study’s damning revelations basically indicting the vaccine industry and Big Pharma for science fraud.

“For decades, the medical community insisted vaccines are the most thoroughly studied product ever; for example, Dr. Paul Offit said, ‘I think we should be proud of vaccines as arguably the safest, best tested things we put in our body,'” Siri further explained.

“For decades, parents of vaccine injured children, vaccine injured adults, and other stakeholders contested these claims only to be shunned and attacked by the medical community and health agencies.”

(Related: At the 2020 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [ACIP] meeting, Plotkin, often referred to as ‘the godfather of vaccines,’ promoted Donald Trump’s COVID injections before they were even released under Operation Warp Speed.)

After decades of gaslighting the public, a new study admits that vaccine safety studies are not conducted before or after use on the public

Wow. After decades of Dr. Stanley Plotkin and his vaccinologist disciples insisting vaccines are the most well-studied products on the planet, they just penned an article admitting precisely the opposite.

They just admitted vaccines are not properly studied – neither pre-licensure nor post-licensure. They admitted, for example, “prelicensure clinical trials have limited sample sizes [and] follow-up durations” and that “there are not resources earmarked for post-authorisation safety studies.”

That is an incredible reversal. But let me provide context so nobody is fooled by what they are clearly up to.

For decades, the medical community insisted vaccines are the most thoroughly studied product ever; for example, Dr. Paul Offit said, “I think we should be proud of vaccines as arguably the safest, best-tested things we put in our body.”

For decades, parents of vaccine-injured children, vaccine-injured adults, and other stakeholders contested these claims only to be shunned and attacked by the medical community and health agencies.

In 2018, I had the unprecedented opportunity to depose the architect of our vaccination programme and the Godfather of Vaccinology, Dr. Plotkin, and lay bare the evidence that showed what these authors are now finally admitting about the utter lack of vaccine safety trials and studies. See ‘The Deposition Of Stanley Plotkin’.

After this deposition is made public, Dr. Plotkin goes on a tirade, making demands that FDA add “missing information on safety and efficacy” in vaccine package inserts and that CDC excludes harms from its vaccine information sheets, “lobbying the Gates Foundation to support pro-vaccine organisations,” working to have WHO list vaccine hesitancy as a global threat, lobbying AAP, IDSA and PIDS to “support training of witnesses” to support vaccine safety, etc. See ‘Dr. Stanley Plotkin, The “Godfather Of Vaccines,” Reaction To Being Questioned’.

The problem is, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work because, at the bottom, there are no proper safety studies. So, there is no safety data to add to the FDA package inserts, and hiding harms by removing them from CDC inserts doesn’t make them go away. Parents and other adults don’t simply stop believing what they have seen with their own eyes because the CDC, WHO, the Gates Foundation, etc., won’t acknowledge them, or worse, they attack them.

Scary new study reveals PFAS “forever chemicals” can seep through human skin

Forget what you’ve been told in the past about your skin acting as a barrier to protect you from exposure to toxins as a new study shows that the dangerous “forever chemicals” per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are absorbed through the skin at much higher levels than once believed.

This is according to a study carried out by researchers from the University of Birmingham, who conducted research with lab-grown tissue designed to mimic human skin to get a clearer picture of how much of these chemicals are absorbed.

They determined that “uptake through the skin could be a significant source of exposure to these harmful chemicals.” After applying samples of 17 PFAS compounds to their tissue model, they measured the proportions that were absorbed. They found that “substantial” amounts were absorbed by the skin and reach our bloodstream, which goes against previous claims that the skin serves as a barrier to protect us from these compounds.

For example, when it comes to one of the most common – and most toxic – varieties, PFOA, they found that the skin took in 13.5%, with an additional 38% being absorbed with a longer application. When you consider the fact that regulators in the U.S. say there is no level of safe exposure to the chemical in drinking water and the International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated it as “carcinogenic to humans,” it’s clear we should all be concerned.

Godfather of Vaccines, Stanley Plotkin, Admits They Have Never Been Properly Tested

Stanley Plotkin et al wrote an article for The New England Journal of Medicine recently. The purpose of his words was to attract even more funding for Big Pharma but in doing so he admitted that all vaccines are not tested properly.

…the widespread vaccine hesitancy observed during the Covid-19 pandemic suggests that the public is no longer satisfied with the traditional safety goal of simply detecting and quantifying the associated risks after a vaccine has been authorized for use.

Great gaslighting! Plotkin suggests that, up until now, the public have been happy that vaccines haven’t been properly tested before use. In reality, Plotkin and his colleagues have been telling everybody that vaccines are properly tested and the public believed them. It looks like the pandemic has caused this dam to burst and even characters like Plotkin are trying to wriggle away from the fact that they have been busted.

The public also wants public health authorities to mitigate and prevent rare but serious adverse reactions.

Whatever gave you that idea, Plotkin? Why would we want you to test the vaccines before you inject them into our and our children’s bodies? Just cover up the adverse reactions once we’ve all been injected, it’ll be fine [sarcasm].

Postauthorization studies are needed to fully characterize the safety profile of a new vaccine, since prelicensure clinical trials have limited sample sizes, followup durations, and population heterogeneity.

Translation: vaccine trials before rollouts are inadequate. No vaccine is tested properly.

It is critical to examine adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) that have not been detected in clinical trials, to ascertain whether they are causally or coincidentally related to vaccination.

Erm yeah, that seems like quite a major thing that you haven’t been doing.

…there are currently no resources earmarked for postauthorization safety studies beyond annual appropriations, which must be approved by Congress each year.

But my doctor told me that vaccines were the safest drug available. How can he know that if no safety studies have been done?

To show how little we actually know about vaccine adverse reactions, Plotkin produces a table of some of the major historical ones.

2,400 Patients May Have Been Exposed to HIV and Hepatitis at Oregon Hospitals: Officials

Health care providers in the Portland, Oregon, area said Thursday that 2,400 patients should get blood tests because an anesthesiologist may have exposed them to HIV as well as hepatitis B and C in recent months.

In a statement, Providence Health said that it “recently learned that Providence’s comprehensive infection control practices may not have been followed by a physician during some procedures” at several hospitals, including Providence Portland Medical Center, Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center, and “other non-Providence hospitals.”

The individual who was allegedly responsible is a physician previously employed by the Oregon Anesthesiology Group, said Legacy in the statement. The unnamed person is no longer employed by Oregon Anesthesiology Group and the company is no longer contracted by Providence, it said.

Providence said in its statement that the physician “might have put patients at a low risk of exposure” to hepatitis B and C as well as HIV for 2,200 patients who were seen at Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center. Two patients seen at Providence Portland Medical Center were also exposed, it said.

As a result, the medical group said that the potentially affected patients will receive a letter with more information, but it encouraged those patients to get a blood test to determine whether they were infected with hepatitis or HIV “out of an abundance of caution,” and “at no cost,” according to the statement.

“If a patient tests positive,” the statement said, “Providence will reach out to discuss their test results and next steps.

Blind! This is what happens when you inject yourself with reptile venom peptides marketed as FDA-approved weight loss drugs

As weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy become popularized by pill-pushing allopathic doctors, new evidence suggests there are serious, life-altering risks with these new drugs. According to a new study, Ozempic an Wegovy users are at an elevated risk of developing a “potentially blinding eye condition.” This is what happens when you inject reptile venom peptides.

Venomous Ozempic and Wegovy increase risk of blindness

The study, published in JAMA Ophthalmology, has raised concerns about an association between semaglutide, a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes and obesity, and an increased risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) This serious condition (NAION) can lead to sudden vision loss and is characterized by damage to the optic nerve.

The study, led by Jimena Tatiana Hathaway, MD, MPH and colleagues, investigates a link between semaglutide use and the incidence of NAION. The researchers conducted a retrospective matched cohort study using data from a centralized registry covering patients who were evaluated by neuro-ophthalmologists at an academic institution between December 2017 and November 2023.

The study included 16,827 patients who had no prior history of NAION. Among these, 710 patients had type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 979 were overweight or obese. Within these groups, patients were either prescribed semaglutide or non–glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications for managing their conditions.

“The study found people with diabetes who had been prescribed semaglutide by their physician and then filled the prescription were more than four times more likely to be diagnosed with NAION,” the authors wrote in a press release, adding, “Those who were overweight or obese and were prescribed this drug were more than seven times more likely to get the diagnosis.”
