Massachusetts Couple Accused of ‘Kidnapping’ Their Own Five Children from State Custody

A Massachusetts couple is facing serious charges after allegedly kidnapping their five children, who had been placed in the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF).

Isael Rivera, 31, and Ruth Encarnacion, 30, were located by Fitchburg Police in early March, after a multi-state manhunt.

The couple is accused of taking the children across state lines in an attempt to evade DCF intervention.

Authorities believe the family fled Massachusetts shortly before the state attempted to enforce child protective measures, according to WCVB 5.
Rivera, the biological father of four of the five children, was arraigned last week in Fitchburg District Court. A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf, and he is currently being held without bail, WHDH reported.

Encarnacion, the mother of all five children, is scheduled to be arraigned this week and faces five counts of kidnapping a minor by a relative. A not-guilty plea has also been entered on her behalf.

According to law enforcement, the family went missing just as DCF prepared to remove the children from Encarnacion’s care on February 27.

Encarnacion’s sister reported her missing days later on March 3, citing a lack of contact since February 26. DCF officially reported the five children missing on March 5, triggering a state and federal search.

Court documents indicate that DCF had opened a case against the couple in February after a pediatrician flagged signs of neglect involving the youngest child, a 9-month-old.

DCF intervened shortly thereafter, but by then, the family had reportedly left Massachusetts.

According to unconfirmed reports, they told their pediatrician they were skipping vaccines for their baby.

CDC Advisers Lean Toward Recommending Narrower Use of COVID-19 Vaccines

Advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are considering advising the agency to narrow common use of COVID-19 vaccines, according to a document made public on April 14.

A majority of experts in a subgroup of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which advises the CDC on vaccines, have determined that the COVID-19 vaccines should not be universally recommended, the document says.

Seventy-six percent of the advisers in the subgroup studying the matter said they support a non-universal recommendation as of April 3.

That’s up from 67 percent in February.

Advisers said they would be comfortable with any non-universal recommendation, such as only recommending the vaccines for certain age groups.

The polling was disclosed in a presentation that is set to be presented by Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, a CDC employee who helps lead the advisory committee’s COVID-19 work group, to a CDC meeting on April 14.

Get jabbed, get infected: New flu vaccine study appears to validate RFK Jr. skepticism

Less than 100 days into the second Trump administration, the Department of Health and Human Services’ newfound skepticism of vaccine claims under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to be prescient, notwithstanding media hand-wringing.

The current flu vaccine, whose effectiveness is a tossup every year, in fact makes infection substantially more likely than not getting jabbed, according to the latest Cleveland Clinic study of its own employees. The study has yet to be peer-reviewed, which means it’s new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.

Nearly 44,000 of its 53,000 employees for whom age and sex data were recorded received the flu vaccine during the 25-week study, a research feat made possible by the Cleveland Clinic’s free, mandatory vaccination for employees without a medical or religious exemption.

About 2% got infected, according to the Cleveland Clinic research team led by infectious diseases physician Nabin Shrestha, also a professor in its medical college.

“The cumulative incidence of influenza was similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated states early” but “increased more rapidly” for the former as the study went on through March 26, eventually reaching negative effectiveness of 27%, the researchers found. 

“Notably, this was a relatively young population, with a mean age of 42 years, and 75% were female,” the paper says. “About 20% had a clinical nursing job.”

“Case 17”: Perfectly healthy 83-year-old woman dies 10 days after Pfizer vaccine with massive histological damage across multiple organs

I’m going to share with you the ChatGPT autopsy report on “Case 17” which is one of over 75 deaths of people investigated by German pathologist Arne Burkhardt at the request of family members who thought the death was suspicious.

In 77% of the referred cases, Burkhardt could confirm the association between the vaccine and death. What that implies is that the family members are correctly assessing causality about 80% of the time. This is about 80% better than medical doctors who are right about 0% of the time.

I want you to see for yourself just how incredibly damaging the COVID vaccines are.

They can kill you in just a matter of days (sometimes years) and the damage can be so widespread it’s hard to tell exactly what you died from. It’s like dying from multiple stab wounds; it’s hard to tell which one killed you.

Even ChatGPT who normally tries to gaslight people into believing the shots are safe was horrified.

Here’s how ChatGPT described the cause of death:

It’s a bit like seeing a ship sink—not because one hole blew it open, but because 10 small-to-medium breaches overwhelmed the hull at once.

The Media Playbook for Measles Looks a Lot Like Its COVID Playbook — This Time, Kids Are the Pawns

There are moments in the history of a movement that test its resolve. For the medical freedom movement, this is one of those moments.

We are in the midst of another full-on attack by the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, aided and abetted by a beholden mainstream media united around its allegiance to a $69 billion vaccine industry.

Five years ago, we fought back as our government, Big Media and Big Pharma orchestrated and executed a COVID-19 fear campaign — a campaign built on lies, deception and censorship — and then parlayed the public’s fear into dangerous and deadly medical mandates and hospital protocols that continue to cause profound harm.

The upside to COVID-19 global disaster?

It opened the eyes of millions more people to the dangers of shoddily tested vaccines, regulatory agency hubris and one-size-fits-all “medicine.”

As our movement has grown exponentially, so has our threat to Big Pharma.

In response, we’re seeing the same tactics rolled out again. This time, it’s measles. This time, children are the pawns in pharma’s playbook.

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) stood strong and stayed true to our mission during COVID. We’re standing just as strong now. We remain just as committed now to the truth, informed consent and medical freedom as we were during the pandemic.

As pharma ramps up its measles playbook, our No. 1 job is to dismantle the vaccine industry’s lies — broadcast far and wide through the industry’s most reliable and faithful megaphone: mainstream media.

The media would have you believe that measles is a “deadly” disease. But any suggestion that MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccines are safer than measles infection isn’t supported by facts.

In fact, between 2000 and 2024, nine measles-related deaths were reported to the CDC. During the same period, 141 deaths following MMR or MMRV vaccination were reported in the U.S. to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) — suggesting the MMR vaccine can be deadlier than measles.

The media echo the same familiar refrain: The MMR vaccine is “overwhelmingly safe.”

In fact, the MMR vaccine is associated with serious health risks. The package insert for Merck’s MMRII says, “M-M-R II vaccine has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or impairment of fertility.”

Research also shows the MMR vaccine causes febrile seizures, anaphylaxis, meningitis, encephalitis, thrombocytopenia, arthralgia and vasculitis. In 2004, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that boys vaccinated with their first MMR vaccine on time were 67% more likely to be diagnosed with autism compared to boys who got their first vaccine after their 3rd birthday.

The media insist there’s no viable treatment for measles — hence prevention, with the MMR vaccine, is the sole solution.

In fact, as CHD reported, doctors in West Texas are successfully treating measles with budesonide and vitamin A. Even the World Health Organization recommends vitamin A.

Yet some hospitals and doctors are refusing to treat measles patients with budesonide. Texas health officials rejected pleas by a treating physician to endorse the treatment and get the word out to hospitals about its effectiveness.

85-Million-Person Study Finds Increased Risks of Stroke, Heart Attack, Coronary Artery Disease, and Arrhythmia Following COVID-19 Vaccination

This comprehensive Bayesian multivariate meta-analysis included 15 studies, with 11 controlled observational studies forming the basis of the primary analysis. In total, the analysis evaluated over 85 million individuals, including nearly 46 million vaccinated individuals (with first, second, or third doses) and nearly 40 million unvaccinated or control participants. Vaccines studied included BNT162b2 (Pfizer), mRNA-1273 (Moderna), and ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca), spanning multiple countries across Asia, Europe, and North America. Moderna (mRNA‑1273) was not prominently featured in the primary risk estimates due to limited availability of controlled studies specifically isolating its cardiovascular effects. As a result, the main metrics focus on outcomes associated with Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and dose-specific pooled data.

Here’s what they found:

Increased Risks Following COVID-19 Vaccination

(Compared to unvaccinated/control group)

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

  • Overall: OR 1.70 (95% CrI: 1.11–2.57) → 70% increased risk
  • BNT162b2 (Pfizer): OR 1.64 (95% CrI: 1.06–2.55) → 64% increased risk
  • Second dose (all vaccines): OR 3.44 (95% CrI: 1.99–5.98) → 244% increased risk

Myocardial Infarction (MI)

  • Second dose (all vaccines): OR 3.86 (95% CrI: 2.28–6.60) → 286% increased risk
  • BNT162b2 (Pfizer): OR 1.87 (95% CrI: 1.22–2.89) → 87% increased risk
  • Second dose of BNT162b2: OR 3.84 (95% CrI: 2.21–6.66) → 284% increased risk

Stroke

  • BNT162b2 (Pfizer): OR 2.09 (95% CrI: 1.36–3.21) → 109% increased risk
  • First dose of BNT162b2: OR 3.69 (95% CrI: 2.13–6.37) → 269% increased risk
  • First dose (any vaccine): OR 3.40 (95% CrI: 1.98–5.86) → 240% increased risk

Arrhythmia

  • First dose (any vaccine): OR 2.99 (95% CrI: 1.20–7.44) → 199% increased risk
  • ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca): OR 8.11 95% CrI: 3.67–17.99) → 711% increased risk
  • First dose of ChAdOx1: OR 4.89 (95% CrI: 1.21–19.38) → 389% increased risk

This large-scale analysis of over 85 million individuals shows that COVID-19 vaccines are associated with significantly increased risks of stroke, heart attack, coronary artery disease, and arrhythmia. Pfizer’s mRNA injections (BNT162b2) were specifically linked to substantial increases in stroke, myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease—particularly following the first and second doses. Arrhythmia risk was elevated following the first dose of any vaccine, with the strongest signal observed after AstraZeneca’s ChAdOx1.

As each day passes, a new study is published that reveals the serious harms of the COVID-19 genetic countermeasures. They must be removed from global markets immediately.

NEW STUDY – Flu Vaccination Linked to 27% Increased Risk of Flu

The Cleveland Clinic study titled, Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During the 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season, was just uploaded to the MedRxiv preprint server:

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season.

Methods Employees of Cleveland Clinic in employment in Ohio on October 1, 2024, were included. The cumulative incidence of influenza among those in the vaccinated and unvaccinated states was compared over the following 25 weeks. Protection provided by vaccination (analyzed as a time-dependent covariate) was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression.

Results Among 53402 employees, 43857 (82.1%) had received the influenza vaccine by the end of the study. Influenza occurred in 1079 (2.02%) during the study. The cumulative incidence of influenza was similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated states early, but over the course of the study the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. In an analysis adjusted for age, sex, clinical nursing job, and employment location, the risk of influenza was significantly higher for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated state (HR, 1.27; 95% C.I., 1.07 – 1.51; P = 0.007), yielding a calculated vaccine effectiveness of −26.9% (95% C.I., −55.0 to −6.6%).

Conclusions This study found that influenza vaccination of working-aged adults was associated with a higher risk of influenza during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season, suggesting that the vaccine has not been effective in preventing influenza this season.

Why Did The FDA Hide Vaccine Injuries?

A frequent criticism of corporations (which I believe also applies to governmental bureaucracies) is that their organizational structure encourages sociopathic behavior. This is because members of these entities are shielded from legal or personal accountability for their actions, with any wrongdoings being attributed to the corporation as a whole. In contrast, the main form of accountability most members face is the pressure to advance the institution’s mission (e.g., make more money), leading to the proliferation of increasingly unethical methods to achieve that goal.

To illustrate, consider this quote from Peter Rost, a former executive at Pfizer and one of the few pharmaceutical leaders to speak out against the industry:

It is scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry … The difference is, all these people in the drug industry look upon themselves – well, I’d say 99 percent, anyway – look upon themselves as law-abiding citizens, not as citizens who would ever rob a bank … However, when they get together as a group and manage these corporations, something seems to happen … to otherwise good citizens when they are part of a corporation. It’s almost like when you have war atrocities; people do things they don’t think they’re capable of. When you’re in a group, people can do things they otherwise wouldn’t, because the group can validate what you’re doing as okay.

In looking through what went awry with the COVID-19 response, while Fauci was commonly blamed for all that went amiss, I kept running into another less-known individual who, while hidden within the FDA bureaucracy, I believe was directly responsible for many of the mishaps that happened

Who Needs Vaccine Data When You Have Vaccine Mandates?

FDA Gene-Editing mRNA Vaccine Chief – Peter Marks – has always been a strong proponent of vaccine mandates. Marks also has as a history of overruling large expert panels for FDA approval of gene therapies at the agency.

STAT News reported that “Marks was one of the architects of Operation Warp Speed, the $18 billion U.S. effort to speed development of Covid-19 vaccines. He regularly embraced regulatory flexibility. And he spoke not infrequently about the importance of accelerated approval for next-generation treatments, including with those whose potential benefits weren’t always crystal-clear in clinical trial data.”

“Vaccine Mandates Are Not Going to Get Us THERE. It’s Got to Be Compelling Evidence.” – Vaccine Chief Peter Marks

During a 4-hour Public Health Workshop hosted by Duke University on March 20, 2025, Marks alluded to having contentious disputes with the higher-ups of the new Health & Human Services (HHS) administration (aka – Secretary Kennedy) over ‘the need for vaccine efficacy and vaccine safety data’ when FDA-approved vaccines can just be mandated.

“How We Generate Evidence Going Forward”

Throughout the 4-hour workshop, Marks and his colleagues strategically avoided discussing retrospective data analyses (i.e. analyzing the adverse events of vaccines in the US government databases) and the specifics on how to measure safety data going forward.

“By Definition, Vaccines Are Very Safe Medical Products”

“By definition, when we are developing vaccines for broad use, one of their direct benefits has to be that they are very safe medical products. That just goes without saying, because that goes to getting acceptance for the individual’s direct benefit.”
