Troops Discharged Over Biden’s Vaccine Mandate to Receive Honorable Status.

The Trump administration is directing the Pentagon to proactively review and upgrade the records of service members discharged from the U.S. military for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine under the former Biden government. Administration officials say the effort aims to restore honor to individuals who received “general discharge” as a result of the mandate.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, in a December memorandum, emphasized the progress made since the initial directive to reinstate veterans who were involuntarily discharged or voluntarily left military service due to the “unfair, overbroad, and unnecessary” COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The new directive expands these efforts by ordering a review of personnel records to identify those discharged solely for vaccine refusal and facilitate appropriate upgrades.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell explained the impetus for the new directive, “Under the previous administration, the Department involuntarily separated approximately 8,700 Service members for failing to comply with the Department’s since-rescinded COVID-19 vaccination mandate. Of those, more than 3,000 received less-than-honorable discharge characterizations.” Parnell added that military departments have been instructed to complete their reviews within one calendar year, with no action required from former service members.

Military service members impacted by the former Biden government vaccine mandate may also access the military board review website to address any perceived errors or injustices in their records. “The Department is committed to ensuring that everyone who should have received a fully honorable discharge receives one and continues to right wrongs and restore confidence in, and honor to our fighting force,” Parnell noted.

Additionally, an Executive Order signed by President Donald J. Trump in November reinstated GI benefits for veterans discharged due to the vaccine mandate.

FDA Leadership Refuses to Add Black Box Warning to mRNA Injections—Despite FDA Scientists Recommending It

A few days ago, CNN reported that the FDA intended to place a black box warning on COVID-19 mRNA injections for serious adverse events, including death.

However, in a striking reversal first reported by Maryanne Demasi, FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary appeared on Bloomberg and claimed the agency now has “no plans” to implement a black box warning—despite the FDA’s own Center for Safety and Epidemiology formally recommending one. He claimed that Dr. Vinay Prasad and “leadership” thought it would be a bad idea.

Dr. Makary stated:

Now, when it comes to the black box warning, we have no plans to put that on the COVID vaccine. The Safety and Epidemiology center within the FDA did recommend that it was a recommendation formally put out. But some of our scientists and leadership, like Dr. Vinay Prasad, have said it may be different today than it was in the first year of COVID when the shot came out.

Because when you have those two doses three months apart, that’s when you see the side effects go way up, like myocarditis in young people. Now that it’s annual, you may not see that same prevalence.

So we don’t want to extrapolate findings to today if it’s not transferable.

This rationale is deeply flawed—and gravely worrisome. It assumes that cardiotoxic injury from mRNA injections is acute, transient, and dose-interval dependent, rather than structural, cumulative, and capable of causing delayed fatal outcomes. That assumption is directly contradicted by the peer-reviewed literature.

Head of FDA Says Biden Administration Hid Data On Heart Risks From COVID Vaccines

The head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Commissioner Marty Makary, claimed that the Biden administration withheld data from the public on the risks of myocarditis from the COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine was created and pushed by the first Trump Administration under Operation Warp Speed. 

Trump has taken full responsibility for implementing the mass vaccine policy rolled out to the public at “warp speed.” However, the FDA appears to be placing the blame for hiding safety and efficacy data on the Biden administration.

“We have done more to study myocarditis and to go back and look at deaths of people, of children from the Covid vaccine,” Makary told NBC News in an interview. “Internal data submitted on myocarditis, we found that the Biden administration was sitting on data on myocarditis in young people, and it was not made public.”

Makary’s claim comes less than a week after Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, told agency staff in a memo that an internal review found that at least 10 children died “after and because of receiving” the Covid shot. Prasad suggested — without evidence to support his claim — that the child deaths were tied to myocarditis. –NBC News

Pfizer Scientist Says The Company Is Looking Into Myocarditis From The Shots

Myocarditis has been one of the sticking points for “anti-vaxxers”. When it comes to health and safety, the heart should not be on line.

But even those who have taken the shots are now noticing that they may not have been as safe as originally indicated. In May 2021, around the same time Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot was authorized for young teenagers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) vaccine safety group said it was reviewing reports of heart inflammation in young people.

Others claim that the ruling class did not pressure the FDA to approve the COVID injections and that there was no wrongdoing.

Half of U.S. has hepatitis B? Media’s go-to vaccine expert gets fact-checked for puzzling interview

One of the most media-savvy vaccine advocates in the U.S., perhaps second only to record-breaking federal pensioner Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, has allegedly been caught falsely claiming he was not invited to address a federal vaccine advisory panel’s recent meeting and spreading wildly inflated numbers on hepatitis B infections, a subject of the meeting.

The perceived gotcha on Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia but also a skeptic of COVID-19 boosters for healthy young people, prompted critics to flag other instances in which Offit allegedly refused to engage and to pick apart his media appearances and choice of venues, such as entertainment-focused TMZ.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials “repeatedly” contacted Offit to present at its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ meeting last week, “via emails, phone calls and a speaker-request form,” physician-turned-investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi wrote this week, contradicting Offit’s claim to CNN on Dec. 5 on day two of ACIP’s meeting.

“I actually wasn’t invited to present at today’s meeting” but rather invited in October “to speak about vaccines to this group,” Offit told the host in the 9-minute interview when she asked why he declined to speak. (He has appeared on CNN several times this year.)

Offit then tried to redirect the conversation toward how ACIP had become an “anti-vaccine advisory committee” that threatens children’s health by no longer recommending COVID vaccines by default. He didn’t elaborate on how young children “clearly … benefit” from COVID vaccination, given their near-nil risk of serious harm from the virus. 

When the host pressed Offit to clarify what he thought the October invitation meant, he said he received a “vague recommendation to come speak to us” but not to speak “about this subject” – hepatitis B vaccination, whose recommendations ACIP changed later that day to wait two months to vaccinate newborns whose mothers test negative for the virus.

FDA Set to Give COVID Vaccines Serious ‘Black Box’ Designation: Report

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reportedly preparing to place a serious “black box” warning on COVID-19 vaccines, according to a CNN report citing people familiar with the agency’s plans.

A black box warning is the most serious safety designation the FDA can require — appearing in bold at the top of a drug or vaccine’s prescribing information to alert doctors and patients to potentially serious risks.

According to CNN, the FDA’s proposed action would highlight major risks such as serious side effects and usage restrictions that should be weighed against benefits before administering the shots.

The report says two people familiar with the agency’s internal planning confirmed the intention to add the warning, though the plan has not yet been finalized and could change before it is publicly announced.

Dr. Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s chief medical and scientific officer and head of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, is said to be leading the review of the COVID vaccine warning label.

CNN’s account indicates that officials are still determining whether the black box warning would apply to all COVID vaccines, only mRNA-based shots from manufacturers like Pfizer and Moderna, or specific age groups.

The warning is expected to be unveiled before the end of 2025, though agency officials have not publicly confirmed plans.

Black box warnings are typically reserved for medicines with evidence of serious or potentially life-threatening adverse reactions that must be clearly communicated to providers and patients.

Health Canada says drag performances promote science and vaccination

What began as a routine Access to Information request quickly spiralled into something stranger and more wasteful than expected.

When Health Canada was asked for all invoices tied to Public Service Pride Week 2025, their response seemed straightforward on the surface. A hundred dollars for rainbow lanyards, another hundred for intersex-inclusive progress flag sticks, a $560 charge to raise and lower a flag, and over $800 for another flag-raising ceremony.

But buried in the paperwork was something far more revealing.

Invoices show that Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions, a Carney-adjacent facilities management giant, billed taxpayers $1,550 plus HST just to raise a Pride flag on August 14. Then take it down for a Truth & Reconciliation flag on September 27. Then take it down again on October 16 — complete with new anchors and eyebolts for next year.

The revolving door of symbolic flag choreography, all at the taxpayers’ expense, was becoming clear.

Even more striking was Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada’s choice of “science outreach.” During federal service Pride Week, the agencies quietly hired a group called Science is a Drag™ — yes, that is a real trademark. According to invoices, the troupe cost taxpayers over $2,500. Their pitch? To use drag performances to promote ‘science literacy and public health.’

Health Canada’s justification reads like a government committee’s fever dream: drag “aligns with the mandates of Health Canada and PHAC by using performance as an innovative, culturally relevant way to promote science literacy.” In practice, this meant federal employees were invited to a glitter-powered show discussing mental health, STI prevention, and vaccination — delivered by cross-dressing performers in sequins and six-inch heels.

RFK Jr. announces that the total elimination of mercury in all US vaccines is official and calls on all global health authorities to follow suit

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has confirmed the definitive elimination of thimerosal –a neurotoxic mercury-based preservative– from all vaccines distributed in the country.

This measure, signed on July 23 but now fully implemented, marks the end of an era of negligence driven by leftist lobbies that prioritized profits over the bodily sovereignty of Americans.

The decision adopts the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the CDC, which Kennedy reformed to include independent experts instead of bureaucrats aligned with Big Pharma.

Since 2001, thimerosal had already been removed from the majority of childhood vaccines, but it persisted in 5% of multidose flu vaccines, unnecessarily exposing children, pregnant women, and adults to ethylmercury, a compound that crosses the blood-brain barrier and accumulates in the brain for years.

«Injecting any amount of mercury into children when safe and mercury-free alternatives exist defies common sense and public health responsibility,» Kennedy declared in his official statement.

Kennedy, a staunch defender of medical freedom and critic of progressive policies that silenced debates on vaccines, celebrated the advance in an exclusive video: «After more than two decades of delay, this action fulfills a long-awaited promise to protect our most vulnerable populations from unnecessary exposure to mercury.»

Previously, we had reported it in Gateway Hispanic in our coverage of RFK’s reforms at the CDC.

Kennedy’s announcement restores confidence in the health system –eroded by scandals like those of the CDC under Democratic administrations–, and also exposes the globalist agenda that ignored studies like Burbacher’s, which proves the cerebral toxicity of ethylmercury.

Vaccine manufacturers, including giants like Sanofi Pasteur and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), have publicly confirmed their ability to immediately transition to thimerosal-free formulas, using single-dose vials or multidose vials with alternative preservatives like 2-phenoxyethanol, without generating shortages in supply.

This guarantee, backed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), ensures that the Vaccines for Children program –which provides free injections to low-income families– and adult doses remain uninterrupted during the 2025-2026 flu season.

Infant dies after routine shots; mom warns ‘Don’t blindly follow the CDC schedule’

Four-month-old Josette “Josie” Petrone received six vaccines during a standard 4-month well visit on Aug. 19. Two days later, she was found unresponsive after an afternoon nap and later died at Nemours Children’s Hospital, where she remained on life support for three days. The official cause of death is still listed as pending, with state officials awaiting autopsy results. Her pediatrician filed a VAERS report.

Following the shots, her parents reported unusual irritability and refusal to nurse — symptoms not typical for her. On Aug. 21, a family nanny discovered the infant not breathing. Emergency responders restored a pulse, but she never regained consciousness.

The vaccines administered included the RSV monoclonal antibody shot along with DTaP, Hib, pneumococcal, rotavirus and polio vaccines.

In the days that followed, the family said they were surprised by how quickly officials pointed to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Josie’s father, a paramedic, questioned that conclusion and said the explanation was inconsistent with the physical findings.

“It doesn’t matter if Josie was found on her belly, her head was found to the side where her airway was unobstructed. There were no pillows nearby. There were no blankets.”
— Ryan Petrone

Petrone also said he was told the state rarely performs the specialized testing needed to determine whether vaccines contributed to a child’s death. According to him, officials indicated that the additional analysis is cost-prohibitive.

“It’s a funding thing. They should be trying to find out everything they can as the cause of death of a child. And the fact that they’re refusing to do that is just unreal to me.”
— Ryan Petrone

The parents are preserving tissue samples for an independent autopsy, which they plan to use in a National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program claim. They also noted research on PubMed showing a high percentage of SIDS cases occurring shortly after infant vaccinations — 58% within three days and 78.3% within seven days —and said the timeline surrounding Josie’s death raised serious questions for them.

The full CHD report includes additional details and the family’s on-camera interview.

Exposing the vaccine industry: How corruption, fraud and coercion endanger public health

In a damning exposé, lawyer Aaron Siri’s book “Vaccines, Amen: The Religion of Vaccines” reveals how the American public has been systematically deceived by institutions they were taught to trust—namely, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and pharmaceutical giants. Through meticulous legal battles, Siri uncovers a web of corruption, scientific misconduct and outright fraud that has allowed unsafe vaccines to flood the market while silencing dissenters.

The dogma of vaccines: Faith over science

Vaccines have been elevated to near-religious status, with proponents demanding blind faith rather than critical scrutiny. As Siri explains, people say they “believe in vaccines” without examining the data—because the data, when scrutinized, often doesn’t support the industry’s claims. Instead, vaccine advocates rely on flawed studies, industry-funded research and outright deception to push their agenda.

One of the most shocking revelations is the lack of placebo-controlled trials for childhood vaccines. Despite claims from figures like Dr. Paul Offit—who insists all vaccines undergo rigorous placebo testing—Siri proves that not a single vaccine on the CDC’s childhood schedule was approved based on such trials. Instead, new vaccines are compared to older ones, masking their true risks. This is akin to declaring cigarettes safe because they’re no worse than cigars.

The Five Big Lies of Vaccinology

People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will sooner or later believe it. 

― Walter Langer

On November 19, 2025, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article entitled “Efficacy, Immunogenicity, and Safety of Modified mRNA Influenza Vaccine.” This article purportedly reviewed the results of Pfizer’s Phase 3 clinical trials testing its experimental, mRNA-based, gene therapy injections for Influenza, which Pfizer presents as an alternative to traditional Influenza vaccines.

Two weeks later, on December 5, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted 8-3 to end the recommendation in the CDC’s pediatric vaccine schedule that all American children receive the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) vaccine at birth. This recommendation would bring the CDC’s HBV vaccine recommendations closer to those in numerous other developed nations, countries that have both better overall pediatric health than the United States and no surplus pediatric HBV deaths.
