Reports of ‘Incapacitated’ Airline Pilots Stoke Concerns, Calls for Investigations
Based on private conversations with other pilots, Yoder and Makis believe many more medical emergencies are likely escaping public notice.
“I’ve been doing speaking events about COVID-19 vaccine injuries, and I’ve had pilots meet with me directly after the events, and they relayed to me stories about close calls and cardiac incidents that never make it into the news,” Makis told The Epoch Times.
Although the COVID-19 vaccination status of the seven pilots in the March incidents was unknown, Makis and Yoder are both concerned about the implications for aviation safety.

US Expert Panel to Meet to Determine Which Adverse Events COVID-19 Vaccines Cause
A group of U.S. experts is set to meet soon as part of a project to determine which adverse events the COVID-19 vaccines cause.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) has appointed a committee to review evidence on the relationship between the vaccines and specific adverse events that have occurred after vaccination, including infertility and sudden death.
The committee’s process includes establishing methods, reviewing literature, drawing conclusions, and preparing a report.
“The committee will make conclusions about the causal association between vaccines and specific adverse events,” the NASEM website states.

My Testimony on Texas State Senate HHS Bills.
Earlier in the week, I was asked by Rebecca Hardy of Texans for Vaccine Choice if I could fly to Austin at the last minute to give invited testimony on a number of COVID-related bills up for consideration by the Senate Health & Human Services Committee at the Texas Senate. I had previously testified to the same Texas Senate committee during June of 2022, predicting among other things that the “boosters” as then planned would cause more harm than good (highlighting “immune imprinting”), and apparently made a positive impression for forthrightness, comprehension and integrity. I was advised that the situation was urgent. So, how could I say no to volunteering my time and resources for such an important cause? Unfortunately, for government testimony, there is no re-reimbursement for airfare or hotel, just a whole lot of gratitude. Jill booked me on a early morning flight for Wednesday and off I went.Earlier in the week, I was asked by Rebecca Hardy of Texans for Vaccine Choice if I could fly to Austin at the last minute to give invited testimony on a number of COVID-related bills up for consideration by the Senate Health & Human Services Committee at the Texas Senate.

Are Pandemic-Related Excess Deaths Due to COVID or Vaccines? Depends on Who’s Counting (Part 2)
Summary of Key Facts
COVID-19 deaths may have varying definitions set by hospitals and states.
Vaccine-attributable deaths require more study to understand the mechanism of injury.
Estimates of excess mortality vary worldwide, causing them to be challenged as unreliable.
Excess deaths among young people may have more to do with public health mitigations than the virus itself.
Australian officials have formally linked a young woman’s death due to cardiac arrest with the mRNA-1273 booster.

LEGAL UPDATE: Missouri v. Biden - Court Denies Government's Motion for Dismissal
Good news in our lawsuit challenging the federal Censorship-Industrial Complex: the court rules that the case will proceed to trial.
In our Missouri v. Biden case, the judge recently denied the government defendants' motion to dismiss the case (except for claims against President, which are generally disfavored by the court). The upshot of this ruling is that the case will now move to trial.

Contract Confirms US Government Received $400 Million From Major COVID-19 Vaccine Manufacturer
The U.S. government received hundreds of millions of dollars from vaccine manufacturer Moderna, according to a newly disclosed contract.
Moderna agreed to pay the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) to license spike protein technology that the company used in its COVID-19 vaccine, according to the contract.
For years, Moderna resisted acknowledging the work by government researchers on the spike protein but relented in late 2021. Moderna announced the contract during an earnings call on Feb. 23.
Moderna stated that it provided a “catch-up payment” of $400 million to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is part of the NIH, under the agreement.
The newly disclosed contract states that Moderna would pay the NIH a “noncreditable, nonrefundable royalty in the amount of Four Hundred Million dollars.”

WHO revises COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for Omicron-era
March 28 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization has tailored its COVID-19 vaccination recommendations for a new phase of the pandemic, suggesting that healthy children and adolescents may not necessarily need a shot but older, high-risk groups should get a booster between 6 to 12 months after their last vaccine.
The U.N. agency said the aim was to focus efforts on vaccinating those facing the greatest threat of severe disease and death from COVID-19, considering the high-level population immunity worldwide due to widespread infection and vaccination.

Physician Assistant Fired for Reporting COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Events to VAERS
For her efforts to report injuries to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and to educate others in her hospital system on doing the same, Physician Assistant Deborah Conrad said she was labeled an anti-vaxxer and fired from her job.
Today, the New York-based Conrad tells her story at medical freedom conferences throughout the country, the most recent being one in Mississippi where physicians, scientists, and the vaccine injured warned state lawmakers to pull the COVID-19 vaccines from the market.
Conrad told The Epoch Times she began to see early danger signals in 2021 upon the vaccine rollout, and with that, resistance among her colleagues to report on them.
“After the vaccines came out, there was this uptick in unusual symptoms, some of which I had never seen in my 20-year career,” Conrad said. “In every case, it was in somebody who had received the COVID-19 vaccine.”

The Harms of Masking - Part 1
Despite the cries that anti-maskers are ableist, mask zealots have completely ignored the harmful impact that mask mandates have had on those with hearing loss.
Ever since the Cochrane review was published on January 30, 2023, there has been much written about the ineffectiveness of masking. Or mask mandates. Or both.
We seem to be caught in a tug of war: See they don’t work! vs Yes they do! Except it’s not that nice.
Still the conversation hasn’t moved past this and on to: Are there downsides from masking that should be weighed against questionable effectiveness? This is what I’d like to spend a few posts talking about by sharing some personal stories from folks who truly struggled and were discriminated agains with mandatory masking policies. They have not been heard for the past three years. It’s well past time.
