Moderna Buried Child’s Death in COVID Booster Trial in EU Report, FDA ResponseCalled ‘Misleading’
President Joe Biden bestowed the National Medal of Technology and Innovation on a vaccine maker that allegedly hid a child’s death in a COVID-19 clinical trial from Americans, and the Food and Drug Administration may have known about the purported subterfuge.
Moderna apparently only disclosed the death from “cardio-respiratory arrest,” which it asserted without evidence was not related to the child’s jab, in the European Union Clinical Trials Register Sept. 30, six months after its trial on “healthy children” 6 months-12 years ended, but not in publicly accessible U.S. system ClinicalTrials.gov as legally required.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who next month will begin overseeing the Senate’s most powerful investigative body, says the government’s vaccine safety system is no longer protecting Americans adequately because of conflicts of interest and lack of transparency, and he is vowing to work with the incoming Trump administration to press for sweeping reforms.

The CDC conducted a genetic analysis of an H5N1 bird flu sample from a person in Louisiana that shows the disease could be more transmittable to humans.

Read MoreOperation Warp Speed Official Questions COVID Vaccine Purity, Worries ‘They May Ingrate’ into DNA
COVID-19 vaccine supporters are fond of sneering at public figures who have called for the Food and Drug Administration to pull or at least re-evaluate the safety of the increasingly unpopular therapeutics, such as Health and Human Services secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., cardiologist Peter McCullough and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo.
They might have a harder time caricaturing a former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director who ran the agency when COVID vaccines were being developed, promoted vaccination and repeat boosting as recently as 2022 and promoted cloth face masks as “one of the most powerful weapons we have” against COVID, before vaccines were available.

Over 40 sheriffs condemned the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the border crisis in a letter sent Tuesday, and further warned that more migrants would devastate small-town America.
The letter, signed by sheriffs in Pennsylvania, Washington and Illinois among other states, accuses the Biden-Harris administration of letting in 10 to 15 million illegal immigrants over the last four years, saying that the U.S. deserves a president that “prioritizes the safety and security of the American people” by securing the border from illegals and drugs. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered over 7 million migrants at the southern border since president Joe Biden took office in January 2021, according to CBP statistics.
Read MoreAcclaimed Medical Center Appears to Bury Data Undermining COVID-Heart Risk Study
With federal authorities recognizing the plunge in COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness as early as four months after each jab, which may actually increase the risk of subsequent infection, the public health establishment is trying to rekindle Americans’ interest in a so-called layered mitigation strategy to keep COVID infections at bay.
While it leans into one-size-fits-all vaccination as the best way to avoid severe outcomes from an increasingly mild virus with near-total natural immunity nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends wearing any kind of mask and social distancing as an “additional prevention strategy.”
