Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC) is launched!
On January 1, 2024 the (interim) Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC) officially launched, within the Department of Health and Aged Care, with the objective “to improve Australia’s response and preparedness for public health emergencies” by “protecting the health of all Australians”. The CDC would aim to prevent health threats posed by non-communicable chronic disease, as well as infectious diseases.
In an October 5, 2020 media release it was proposed that an “Albanese Labor Government will strengthen Australia’s response to future pandemics by establishing an Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC)” according to the statement Australia was the only Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country without a CDC equivalent. The CDC became a 2022 election commitment for Labor. [1]
On November 10, 2022 selected stakeholders were invited to engage and provide comment either generally or in response to 28 guiding consultation questions in the Department publicly released a CDC Discussion Paper . [2, 3]
The justification for Aus CDC is the COVID-19 pandemic, Japanese endepahalitis virus outbreak [really?], the emergence of moneypox and the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires! In 2024, the interim Australian CDC started to build their “One Health and health security capabilities”. [4]
The interim Australian CDC has taken over the responsibilities of the Chief Medical Officer Group functions of:
- disease outbreak health alerts
- emergency health management, including management of the National Medical Stockpile
- communicable diseases
- national and international disease surveillance
- environmental health – climate change etc
The AUS CDC will be Australia’s WHO International Health Regulations (IHR) “authority“, in preparation for “the next pandemic”.
Judge orders CDC to release 7.8 million V-SAFE “free text” COVID-19 vaccine adverse event entries
On January 5, 2024, following the legal effort of ICAN and Aaron Siri‘s lawfirm, the District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ordered the CDC to release all 7.8 million V-SAFE “free text” entries to the public under Freedom of Information, the release to begin February 15, 2024 and occur over a year. [1, 2, 3]
V-safe, is the the vaccine safety monitoring system App rolled out by the CDC for COVID-19 vaccines to capture any adverse events (AE). Common and expected AE were listed with check boxes, this data was released October 2, 2022, but the serious and cencerning AE were not, the 10 million App users, who rolled up their sleeves first in early 2021, had to type in their AE in words i.e. as “free text”.
It is expected that thousands of volunteers will wade throught the data, as was done following the release of the Pfizer FOIA documents.
German Farmer protests move nationwide
On January 8, 2024 German farmers protest has moved nationwide, following 2 weeks of protests. With tractor convoys which blocked roads to protest against subsidy cuts, started in Dec 2024 in Berlin but has now moved nationwide. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Estimated 30,000 protesters in addition to farmers, blocked streets in Berlin on Jan 16, 2024 to support farmer protests as the world wakes up to the Global “war on farmers” i.e. the food supply. [5]
“Green regulations throughout the EU have aimed to stifle farmers and eventually eliminate much of their traditional farming methods and business, in the name of ‘net zero’ sustainability. With no plan but to have much of traditional farming disappear only to be replaced by a rapidly expanding synthetic food industry promoting fake meats and insect meal.” [7]
- Feb 1, 2024 the protests moved to EU Parliament [6, 8]
- Mar 25, 2024 – Farmer protests outside UK parliament
Fauci admits pandemic social distancing rules were NOT base on science they “sort of just appeared”
On January 11, 2024 it was revealed that when Dr Anthony Fauci was under oath in a 2 day closed-door interview with the House Select Committee on Coronavirus Pandemic, he admitted that pandemic guidence such as the “6-feet apart” social distancing recommendations that were forced on Americans, “it just sort of appeared” and were likely not based on scientific data. [1, 2, 3]
Yet during the pandemic he claimed that measures imposed were based on “following the science”
During the interview he said “over 100 times that he “did not recall” important information and conversations relevant to the origins of Covid-19 and the U.S. pandemic response he presided over.”
In November 2022 deposition he also didn’t recall much about his hand in the COVID-19 response, even though he forgets, he thinks people “don’t have the ability” to decide what’s best for themselves. [2]
On June 20, 2021 Fauci claimed to be “the science” that an attack on him was an attack on science. If you questioned him on the justification for face mask mandates, you were attacking “the science”!
“If you are trying to …get at me … you’re really attacking not only Dr Anthony Fauci, you’re attacking science“
SA: Landmark COVID-19 vaccine injury compensation win
Judge Calligeros for the South Australian Employment Tribunal (SAET) on January 15, 2024 determined that an employer (the Department for Child Protection) was liable for costs to a youth worker (Mr Shepherd) who developed pericarditis after his third COVID-19 vaccination, a medical intervention that was mandated in order to be employed. The employer is liable for weekly compensation and medical expenses. [1, 2, 3, 4]
This case sets a precedent for future work place vaccine injury claims.
WEF Davos 2024: “Rebuilding Trust”
On January 15-19, 2024 the 54th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) took place in Davos, Switzerland, with the theme “Rebuilding Trust” and an emphasis on mis/dis- information [9, 13, 14] and “extreme weather” [not climate!] as the strongest threat for the coming year. [1, 2] “Building Trust through an Equitable and Inclusive Energy Transition” [3] Attended by private industry and many global government delegates, but only “a handful” of Western leaders. The USA is well represented.
Prior to the meeting the WEF launched several “reports”: The Global Risks Report [11], Transforming Energy Demand, and Global Cooperation Barometer 2024 [4]
Davos 2024:
- 15th Day 1 – AI driven Opening Concert, Zelensky, EC President Ursula von der Leyen
- 16th Day 2 – Drive for more global collaboration, resilience, security, AI impact, “China to build the energy systems of the future” [8]
- 17th Day 3 – AI, equitable jobs and climate change, Trump’s return [10], “ecocide” against food producing farmers, Preparing for Disease X, [15, 16, 17, 18]
- 18th Day 4 – Kevin Roberts, Albert Bourla Pfizer,
- 19th Day 5
“For too long, hypocritical self-avowed Marxists, private-jet environmentalists, and genocide-adjacent humanitarians who descend on Davos for their annual globalist sleepaway camp have wielded their power and influence to fuel their lives of luxury while ordinary people suffer…”
States Dr Kevin Roberts [5, 6, 7], speaking Day 4 on “What to Expect from a Possible Republican Administration?”
Governments urged to stop endorsing and enforcing mRNA “vaccines”
On January 24, 2024 governments around the world were urged to Stop using the mRNA products labelled “vaccines”, as published in the peer review journal Cureus. [1]
Given the well-documented SAEs and unacceptable harm-to-reward ratio, we urge governments to endorse and enforce a global moratorium on these modified mRNA products until all relevant questions pertaining to causality, residual DNA, and aberrant protein production are answered.
Australian COVID-19 Royal Commission ToR Inquiry begins
On February 1, 2024 Australia began a Senate inquiry to draft the terms of reference (ToR) for a future Royal Commission to investigate the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. [1]
On October 19, 2023, Senator Malcolm Roberts of One Nation put a motion before the Senate to set up a committee to produce the Terms of Reference for a COVID-19 Royal Commission, something the party suggested in February 7, 2022 because of the failed pandemic response. If we don’t formally “understand the mistakes we are doomed to repeat them.” This was accepted, the public made submissions, some jointly, and the Inquiry report is due March 31, 2024. [2, 3, 4, 5]
The people deserved to see what justified the decisions that destroyed so many lives
states Senator Pauline Hanson, Feb 7, 2022
Australia’s PM Anthony Albanese promised in his election campaign to hold a Royal Commission, but reneged, instead on September 21, 2023 announced a 12 month “Commonwealth Government COVID-19 Response Inquiry” [6, 7], which shockingly only looks at the federal response and exclude unilateral actions of states or territories – the very entities that forced the draconian mandates and edicts upon their citizens under repeated State Emergency powers.
Large Study finds COVID-19 vaccines are linked to neurological, blood and heart disorders
On February 12, 2024 the journal Vaccine published a study looking at the increased risk of adverse conditions following COVID-19 vaccination for a cohort of 99 million people, the largest study ever. It found the vaccines were linked to increased risk of neurological, blood and heart disorders, though claimed to be “rare”. The assessment was only for 0-42 days following vaccination, and didn’t look at long term issues such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. [1]
UK ONS hide excess deaths with “methodology change”
On February 20, 2024 the UK’s Office of National Statistics (ONS) changed their methodology for estimating excess deaths which gave a convenient “massive apparent reduction in excess deaths in 2023″. [1, 2]
Australian senate finally vote yes to an enquiry into excess deaths
On February 26, 2024, after three previously failed attempts, the Australian Senate finally acknowledges (by one vote) the need for an inquiry into excess deaths in Australia, thanks to the fourth motion from Senator Raplph Babet of the UAP. [1, 2]
“Excess deaths began to rise in Australia in 2021, peaking in 2022, and sustaining into 2023 at 9.9% above the expected baseline”
COVID Cartel Coverup Roundtable
On February 26, 2024 US Senator Ron Johnson held a 4 hour roundtable panel discussion with advocates, whistleblowers, medical experts, and doctors calling out the COVID Cartel coverup. [1, 2]
Covering the topics: COVID-19 vaccine issues, general history of vaccine injury coverup, corruption of medical research and the federal health and regulatory agencies, censorship and propaganda and the pandemic response in other countires along with the threat of the World Harm Organisation (WHO) treaty and amemdments to the 2005 International Health Regulations.
QLD Supreme Court rules vaccine mandates “unlawful”
On February 27, 2024 the Australian Supreme Court of Law of Queensland ruled that mandated COVID-19 vaccinations that were issued under emergency direction in December of 2021 were “unlawful” under the Human Rights Act. [1]
It is reported that Justice Martin held that the Queensland’s Police Commissioner “did not consider the human rights ramifications” before issuing the COVID-19 workplace vaccination directive within the Queensland Police Service (QPS)”
Australian businessman and founder of the United Australia Party (UAP), Clive Palmer, had reportedly contributed between $2.5 to $3 million towards funding the lawsuits involving 74 police officers, civilian staff and paramedics.
“This decision will force future employers and Government officials to properly consider human rights when implementing vaccine directions in future, at least in Queensland where there is a Human Rights Act which obligates them to do so.”
said lawyer Peter Fam
Vaccine mandates are still enforced in February 2024 as a condition of employment even though the legacy media reportedly state they are nolonger.
CDC downgrades COVID-19 to the common flu, or less
On March 1, 2024 the US CDC released new guidance for “pandemic virus” that causes COVID-19 with recommendations now aligned with other respiratory viral illness effectively downgrading the disease to the common flu, the same low IFR as antibody test suggested in April 2020. Infected persons no longer requiring isolation for 5 days, as it is now less severe than previously claimed. [2, 3]
“COVID-19 remains an important public health threat, but it is no longer the emergency that it once was, and its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other respiratory viral illnesses… far fewer people are getting seriously ill from COVID-19, [and] clinically COVID-19 has become similar to, or even less severe in hospitalized people, than influenza and RSV.” [1]
The CDC still claim: “Due to the effectiveness of protective tools and high degree of population immunity, there are now fewer hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19.” They state “98% of the U.S. population now has some degree of protective immunity against COVID-19 from vaccination, prior infection or both”, protection is from symptoms not the pathogen, they do not stop infection or transmission.
At this time only 13.1% for children and 22.2% over 18 years have taken the “updated 2023-24 COVID-19 vaccine” booster, and of the over 65 high risk group, only 41.5% of those. [4]
On April 23, 2020 Del Bigtree on The Highwire, through looking at the early antibody testing revealed that more people had already been infected with virus and mounted an immune response, much higher than expected. The data suggested the fatality rate of COVID-19 was in line with common seasonal flu, now 4 years later the CDC come to the same conclusion, with the same SARS-CoV-2 virus.
FOIA Scandal: Germany’s RKI’s 2020 lockdown and masks not based on science, but politically motivated
On March 18, 2024 Paul Schreyer from German Multipolar news, following a freedom of information request, revealed that Germany’s Robert Koch Institute’s (RKI) COVID-19 risk assessment change in March 2020 from “moderate” to “high” was the result of a political instruction of an external actor – whose name is blacked out in the protocols, and not based on science. This change of classification, by an authority public health body, was the basis for all unprecedented lockdown measures in Germany. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
“Following a long legal battle, Germany’s public health agency, the RKI released the confidential protocols showing that it was aware “lockdowns cause more harm than good” and evidence for “making masks mandatory was lacking.”[2]
Stefan Homburg: What do the RKI-Files really show? – WATCH [7]
So if Germany’s health protection agency DID NOT follow “The Science”, but were motivated by an outside voice (redacted in the FOIA-equivalent documents), could this explain the lockstep behaviour of “health” agencies in other countries, such as Australia.?
Doherty Clinical Trials officially launched: First-of-its-kind program to infect human test subjects
On March 25, 2024 the official launch of the new not-for-profit registered charity, the Doherty Clinical Trials Ltd. (DCT) was held. DCT is a subsidiary of the University of Melbourne, established by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (PDIII, or the Doherty Institute) in connection with Burnet Institute. The board members have to be “approved” by PDIII council.
DCT’s purpose is to accelerate the “development pipeline for novel therapeutics and vaccines for key partners and industry clients…with a specific focus on clinical trials for infectious diseases, including human infection challenge studies“, particularly for “early-phase clinical development of antimicrobials and vaccines.” [1, 2, 3]
The “purpose-built facility is the first of its kind in the southern Hemisphere” (suggesting there is intent for more), and ran in partnership with a global team! The Wellcome Trust (2022) with representation from BMGF, The Lancet (2018) and WHO’s 2017 report on “Human challenge trials for vaccine development” were referenced by DCT to help justify this ethically challenging, novel (“bespoke”) research move!
Victoria, Australia is positioning itself as a “world-leader in health sciences”, with Moderna’s mRNA platform factory in it’s back yard and with DCT’s affiliation with the Australian Institute for Infectious Disease(AIID) it appears human voluntary “guinea pigs” will likely be experimental subjects of any new “infectious disease” mRNA genetic codes!
- Doherty Clinical Trials is a BIO partner, and attended the BIO International Convention in Boston June 5 – 8, 2023, which was attended by tens of thousands of biotech focused individuals and organisations. [5]
- DCT website launched June 6, 2023, starting to recruit volunteers which receive tax-free reimbursement.
- The DCT project was brewing since at least November 2021, when pandemic vaccine products such as Moderna mRNA were still only under provisional use in Australia.
- The Human Challenge Trials, in which healthy volunteers are experimentally infected, is justified as needed because of what the “COVID-19 pandemic has taught us“! as they “give critical real-time information which allows for rapid development of effective vaccines and treatments.” [4]
- “The proposal to prepare WHO guidance on human challenge trials (HCT) was developed during a WHO Consultation on clinical evaluation of vaccines held in Geneva, Switzerland, 17–18 July 2014” [6]
- WHO, “public health” and Pharma/NGO partners see HCT as a way to cut down cost and time for introducing new vaccines.
DCT’s first infectious disease human challenge trials “include influenza, Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep A), gonorrhoea and malaria,” the consequences of intentionally infecting healthy people has drawn the attention of ethically focused, concerned scientists.
Is Obama (secretly) running the Whitehouse for a 3rd term?
On March 26, 2024 the New York Times publishes an article confirming that former President Barak Obama is calling the Whitehouse and President Joe Biden to strategize to take out the competition – Donald Trump. [1, 2] What else could he be “strategizing” on, considering in December 2020 Obama laid out the ideal scenario for him having a 3rd term in office and remain on the “political battlefield“? [3]
In light of Joe Biden being “unfit” to stand trial for prosecution for possession of “unauthorized removal, retention, and disclosure of classified documents”, but is allegedly fit to remain as President of the United States of America, is Biden actually running the Whitehouse?
The 2024 US Presidential election is a little over 7 months away.
WHO establish global coronavirus genome surveillance network – CoViNet – for new vaccines etc
On March 27, 2024 the WHO launched the WHO Coronavirus Network (CoViNet), a global network for coronavirus genome survailance. [4]
The CoViNet network replaces the “WHO SARS-CoV-2 Reference Laboratory Network”, which was established by the WHO in January 2020 which had the initial objective to provide confirmatory testing to countries with no or little testing capacity” but extended to genome sequencing!
“In order to be able to monitor not only SARS-CoV-2 but also other coronaviruses in the future, the WHO has now expanded the scope and objectives of the reference laboratories. …Further, they are to enhance capacities for the identification of novel coronaviruses. Worldwide, 33 laboratories have been selected by the WHO as founding members of the CoViNet network.” [1]
On the same day Prof. Christian Drosten’s lab in Germany becomes one of the first labs worldwide to sequence coronavirus genomes to assist in determining the next (no doubt seasonal) COVID-19 spike protein antigen strain for the COVID-19 mRNA “vaccines” spike protein gene sequence. [1, 2]
“Monitoring will no longer be limited to viruses circulating in humans, but will increasingly be extended to animals and the environment.”
“The objective of an update to COVID-19 vaccine antigen composition is to enhance vaccine-induced immune responses to circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants”. [3]
Representatives of each of the 33 chosen laboratories, “together global experts in human, animal, and environmental health, embracing a comprehensive One Health approach”, met in Geneva on March 26-27, 2024 “to finalize an action plan for 2024-2025 so that WHO Member States are better equipped for early detection, risk assessment, and response to coronavirus-related health challenges.”…The collaboration underscores the importance of enhanced surveillance, laboratory capacity, sequencing, and data integration to inform WHO policies and support decision-making.”
“Data generated through CoViNet’s efforts will guide the work of WHO’s Technical Advisory Groups on Viral Evolution (TAG-VE) and Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) and others, ensuring global health policies and tools are based on the latest scientific information.” Australia’s Professor Raina MacIntyre has been on the vaccine composition committee since Jan 2022.
Japan breaks out in protest against WHO and excess deaths
On April 13, 2024 approximately 20,000 citizens across Japan came together in protest against the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty/IHR power grab. The rally called for Japan’s withdrawal from the WHO. Protest organisers are demanding answers for excess deaths and lack of transparency on the adverse effects following COVID-19 vaccinations. [1]
Speakers included Professor Masayasu Inoue who “highlighted the concerning trend of our health being weaponized in what he termed as “a third world war fought with information.” He urged the public to resist introducing genetic vaccines into their bodies, implicating a significant portion of WHO’s funding comes from pharmaceutical giants and private interests like the Bill Gates Foundation. A few days earlier he delivered a powerful warning message to the world about humna rights abuse with the genetic injectable products. [1]
VPD Global Immunization goals now include eradicate, eliminate or control
May 15, 2024, under the Global Immunization Strategic Framework (GISF) (2021-2030) and part of WHO IA2030 the CDC launch a Global Immunization page for Vaccine-Preventable Diseases (VPD) which now has 3 distinct goals for “immunization systems and vaccination activities worldwide”: eradicate, eliminate or control!
- Eradication is defined as the worldwide absence of a specific disease-causing agent in nature.
- Elimination of VPD transmission in a defined geographic area but vaccination must continue to prevent reemergence or Eliminating VPD because its a ” public health problem” requiring vaccination (tetanus which is not infectious is on the list in the context of pregnancy!)
- Control of VPD to reduce “disease and death to low levels locally”!
- Advance Development for diseases that don’t currently have a vaccine! [2]
The moment a vaccine is registered for a new disease we suddenly have a new vaccine-preventable disease – which takes potential lives could be saved numbers even higher!
WIPO adopt a legally binding international treaty on IP and Genetic Resources
May 24, 2024 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Member States adopted a “Historic New Treaty on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge”, an international legal instrument. [1, 2]
Christian Drosten’s virology lab joins WHO coronavirus genome surveillance network -CoViNet
It was announced on March 27, 2024 that the World Health Organization (WHO) has selected Germany’s Institute of Virology at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin as a member of the newly established WHO Coronavirus Network (CoViNet). [1, 2]
The Institute of Virology, headed by Prof. Christian Drosten, is one of eleven laboratories in Europe, and 33 laboratories worldwide that analyse SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging coronavirus genomes – the Global network of reference laboratories aim to detect and monitor coronaviruses, in the same way influenza genomes have been monitored for decades for selecting vaccine strains.
FDA approves mRNA RSV vaccine – 2nd disease for “mRNA Platform”
On May 31, 2024 the FDA, under a breakthrough therapy designation, approved Moderna’s mRESVIA (mRNA-1345), an mRNA respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, marking the second disease targeted by the mRNA platform, plug and play technology, but the third RSV vaccine approved. The single dose vaccine is indicated “to protect adults aged 60 years and older from lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV infection”. [1, 2]. There was no press release by FDA, just a summary announcement. [3]
FDA approval of mRESVIA is based on a Phase 3 clinical trial ConquerRSV, a global study conducted in 35,541 adults ages 60 years or older in 22 countries”. Vaccine efficacy was determined to be 83.7% “against RSV lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD)” after “3.7 months of median follow-up”. Enrolments in the Phase 3 clinical trail (NCT05127434) started began November 17, 2021, where the placebo group were assigned a saline injection.
On May 03, 2023 FDA, under priority review designation, granted approval the very first RSV vaccine by GlaxoSmithKline. “Arexvy is approved for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV in individuals 60 years of age and older.” The apporval comes even though they are concerned about “serious risks for Guillain-Barré syndrome and ADEM” Pfizer’s Abrysvo is the second RSV vaccine approved by FDA.
Is “Bird Flu” the next disease X? The narrative is ramping up
It’s June 2024 and “bird flu” is looking to be positioned as the next Disease X. Millions of chickens are being “culled” (no eggs, no chickens means food shortage). Deborah Birx (Scarf Lady) is pushing to PCR test all cows. A push for farmers to get vaccinated against (not sure what!). Sorry team…I’m a little over it – its a bird flu, not a human flu…but they are pushing “yet”. [2]
Scientists are developing an mRNA vaccine – ‘cos they now have an apporved ‘platform’ for any protein they code. [1]
Significant court victory – COVID-19 vaccine mandates overturned – no community benefit
On June 7, 2024 co-plaintifs the Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF), California Educators for Medical Freedom, plus individuals won their appeal in the Ninth Circuit court aganst Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) policy for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of employees – on the grounds they have no community benefit. [1]
The case held up that the 1905 Supreme Court Jacobson v. Massachusetts decision for mandating vaccination (at the time was only smallpox) because the intervention was deemed to prevent the spread of the disease in the community. The court recognized that mitigating personal symptoms deemed the product a medical treatment and not a traditional vaccine that (allegedly) prevents the spread of the pathogen.
Report: Biden Adminstration found to pressure FDA into licensing mRNA vaccine
On June 24, 2024 the US House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust, led by Chairman Thomas Massie released a report detailing “how the Biden Administration pressured the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to go beyond its regulatory authority to change its procedures, cut corners, and lower agency standards to approve the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and authorize boosters” [1, 2]
“During the pandemic, politics overruled science at the government institutions entrusted with protecting public health. The FDA abandoned its congressional directive to protect citizens from false claims and undisclosed side effects, and instead ignored its own rules to pursue a policy of promoting the vaccine while downplaying potential harms.” [1]
The FDA “cut corners in its usually rigorous BLA process to brand the Pfizer EUA vaccine as the only fully licensed “safe and effective” COVID-19 vaccine on the market at the time”
US Surgeon General declares gun violence a public health crisis in America
On June 26, 2024 the US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, released a 32-page advisory titled “Firearm Violence: A Public Health Crisis in America”, “arguing the issue needed to be put in the realm of “public health” and out of politics.” He recommends “an array of preventive measures that he compared to past campaigns against smoking and traffic safety” including a call “for an increase in funding for firearm violence prevention research.” [1, 2, 3]
- “While mass shooting deaths (definition varies, generally 4 or more) represent only about 1% of all firearm‑related deaths in the U.S., the number of mass shooting incidents is increasing”
- “Unlike…prescription drugs that are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there are no federal standards or regulations regarding the safety of firearms produced in the U.S.”
- “In 2020, gunshot wounds surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for children and adolescents in the United States.” – when many drivers were locked down in their homes!
Johns Hopkins (JH) University established a Center for Gun Violence Solutions (CGVS) to research a “public health approach to prevent gun violence”. Where they states “Public health is the science of reducing and preventing injury, disease, and death and promoting the health and well-being of populations through the use of data, research, and effective policies and practices”. [5, 6]
- JH refrenced “Washington Post” to claim “Unarmed Black people are over three times more likely to be shot and killed by police compared to white people”, neglected to state “in the last 12 months”
- March 2023 – CGVS: “The Deadly Intersection of White Supremacy and Gun Violence” – WATCH
- November 2020 – The Public Health Approach to Gun Violence Prevention, report was published by The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence an NGO founded in 1978 – PDF
According the CDC of the 48,000 firearm-related deaths in the United States in 2022, more than half (>24,000) were suicides, this means of the average 132 people dying from a firearm-related injury each day, atleast 66 are from suicide.
Do you think they’ll ever investigate the pharmaceutical, antidepressant drug link to mass shootings, suicides and gunshot death? [4]
