We Were Told to Disinfect Everything. The Chlorine Gas Calls Never Came Back Down.
US poison centers logged a 39.8 percent jump in chlorine gas exposures the year disinfection messaging peaked. Through 2022 here and 2025 in France, the numbers never came back down.
InvestigationsThe Mucosal Immunologist His Own University Declared No COVID Expert
Robert Clancy spent his career on the airway immunity a shot in the arm was never built to raise. When the transmission promise collapsed, Newcastle had already ruled him no COVID expert.
InvestigationsThe 33 Infections the CDC's 90 Percent Vaccine Number Left Out
In March 2021 the CDC announced that mRNA vaccines cut infection risk by 90 percent. Its own report set aside 33 infections that struck in the days after the shot, and a peer-reviewed critique shows how that counting rule can make a useless vaccine look 48 percent effective.
InvestigationsIn Pfizer's Pivotal Trial, a Volunteer's Pericarditis Became a 'Suspected COVID' Case That Counted Against No One
The only Argentine site in Pfizer's pivotal trial was run by the same doctor who authored the results, and when a 35-year-old developed pericarditis after his second dose, the records moved the episode off the vaccine's ledger.
Infectious DiseaseCzech Trust in Government Fell to 19 Percent. Eight to Ten Weeks Later, the Death Rate Pulled Away from Austria's.
A populist government overstated its testing, cycled through health ministers, and governed by press conference. Czechs stopped believing it, and a new analysis ties that collapse of faith to a death rate that ran roughly twice the European average.
InvestigationsFifty Sworn Witnesses, 1,400 Who Applied, and Not One Official From Health Canada
A sitting MP put Canadians who say the COVID shots injured them under oath on Parliament Hill. Health Canada, which authorized the products and tracks their harms, sent no one.
CancerA Top Cancer Researcher Logged 333 Tumor Reports After COVID Shots and Infection. Now He Wants the Study the Agencies Won't Fund.
Wafik El-Deiry helped map how the p53 gene guards against cancer. Now he has co-authored a review of 333 tumor reports that surfaced or came roaring back after COVID vaccination or infection, plus a blunt admission that no one has produced the population study to rule the vaccine link out.
Infectious DiseaseA 2014 Trial Warned That Correcting Vaccine Fears Backfires on the Hesitant. Public Health Corrected Harder.
A randomized trial found that correcting MMR-autism fears left the most hesitant parents less likely to vaccinate. A decade later, a panel of credentialed doctors in Sydney shows the trust cost of correcting harder anyway.
Infectious DiseaseIn 1999, Fifteen Reports Suspended a Vaccine Within Weeks. The Spike Signal Has Waited Years for a Study.
Spike protein has turned up in the vessel-lining cells of vasculitic skin lesions 18 months after the shot, and adverse-event reports keep stacking up. The agencies that suspended a vaccine over fifteen reports in 1999 now call thousands a coincidence.
Infectious DiseaseArizona State's AI Flags Healthy People as 'Weak' Vaccine Responders Without Reporting How Often It's Right
Arizona State's AI sorts roughly one in twenty healthy people into the 'weak responder' column. The clinical payoff, in the lead author's own words, is more doses. Nobody reported how often the model is right.
InvestigationsMonths Before Officials Told Pregnant Women the COVID Shot Was Safe, Fauci Privately Flagged a Theoretical First-Trimester Miscarriage Risk
Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul pulled the first messages off Fauci's government iPhone: a January 2021 chain in which he privately flagged a theoretical first-trimester miscarriage risk, months before official guidance told pregnant women the shot carried no such concern.
Autoimmune & InflammationRare but Real: The Autoimmune Hepatitis After mRNA That VAERS Was Built to Miss
Twenty-seven biopsy-confirmed cases of autoimmune hepatitis after an mRNA dose, jaundice and an ALT of 1,092 that resolved on steroids. The disproportionality math found 'no safety signal.' It was measuring a reporting system, not the liver.
Infectious DiseaseFive Years After COVID, Japan Is Still Dying at Pandemic Rates, and Confirmed COVID Explains Only a Tenth
Japan's excess deaths peaked at 7.55 percent in 2022 and still ran at 5.76 percent through 2023, after Tokyo downgraded COVID to a routine infectious disease, in one of the most heavily mRNA-dosed countries on earth.
Infectious DiseaseAgainst Omicron, a Second COVID Dose Added Almost Nothing for Kids Who Were Already Infected
In Austria's own registry, one dose protected previously infected people slightly better than two; in children against the omicron they actually faced, the second dose's benefit could not be told apart from zero. The guidance never moved.
InvestigationsKennedy Ended the COVID Emergency Authorizations. The Document That Blocks Injury Lawsuits Wasn't the One He Signed.
The emergency use authorizations wind down within a year. The liability shield that routes injured people to a program denying more than 98% of claims runs untouched through 2029.
InvestigationsThe Crisis Was Unexpected. The Org Chart Wasn't.
Internal NIH correspondence and the public record both point to a pandemic-response architecture, and the people to run it, assembled years before Covid arrived.
Infectious DiseaseXocova clears the FDA. What it actually prevents is the smaller story.
The FDA approved Shionogi's ensitrelvir for post-exposure COVID prevention, citing a 67% relative risk reduction. Look at what the trial actually measured and a different story comes into focus.
