A new report says the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA BNT162b2 booster vaccine causes an increase in adverse events in people who had prior CoViD infection!
The study was done in the United Kingdom and involved healthcare workers at three Northeast England hospitals. The researchers used the adverse reaction guidelines of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
For those healthcare workers who had prior CoViD infection, adverse reactions increased with each booster shot, and females reported more adverse reactions than males, and younger workers reported more adverse reactions than older workers! No increase in adverse reactions were reported by healthcare works who got the flu vaccine.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about Pfizer’s RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccine; risk of neurological Gullain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and its variant Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS)!
During the trials for Pfizer’s RSV vaccine at least two people developed GBA, and one other person developed MFS within eight days after vaccination.
Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg, seriously this isn’t the half-of-it!) list of links to United States (U.S.) drug related crimes and oddities for the month of January 2023:

On 16JAN2023, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) transferred approximately 250 kilograms of cocaine, and three smugglers, to Dominican Republic. They were captured in the Mona Passage on 10JAN2023.

On 30JAN2023, USCG Cutter Emlen Tunnell (WPC 1145) captured 4-thousand kilograms of hashish and 512 kilograms of methamphetamine, in the Gulf of Oman. This was the first drug seizure in 2023 for Combined Task Force (CTF)-150: “This is just the beginning of our work in delivering maritime security operations in the region to stop illicit activities and drug smuggling. This comes as a result of a valued partnership between CTF 150 and all partner nations in Combined Maritime Forces.”-Captain James Byron, United Kingdom Royal Navy, current leader of CMF-150 (so, even the U.S. led anti-smuggling operations in the Gulf of Oman are commanded by Red Coats!)
Also on 30JAN2023, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence gave a short history of the U.S. Tactical Analysis Teams (TATs) deployed to Central and South America, in the name of taking the Reagan era War on Drugs international. The first TAT was formed and deployed in 1989. Obviously, to me, it has been a resounding failure, but don’t tell that to the taxpayer funded U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, or U.S. Southern Command (SouthCom).

“It is the first time imports would be financed from China in yuan, as Iraqi imports from China have been financed in dollars only.”-Mudhir Salih, Iraqi government economic advisor
On 22FEB2023, Iraq announced it made a deal with China, to accept Chinese Yuan instead of the mandated U.S. petrodollar! The last time Iraq decided to take cash other than the U.S. petrodollar resulted in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 (the false flag Operation Iraqi Freedom).
Then ruler of Iraq, Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti, announced he would take Euros for Iraqi petroleum. However, this time the Iraqi government says the U.S. government actually blessed the oil for Yuan deal!
The deal also involves the British empire (Commonwealth of Nations) member Development Bank of Singapore, as well as the U.S. based JP Morgan, both of which would convert their U.S. dollar reserves to Yuan! But wait, there is more, at the end of last year oil giant Kingdom of Saudi Arabia said it might use the Yuan as well!

In August 2022, China took second place in the Tank Biathlon and Masters of Armored Vehicles, during Russia’s International Army Games, using their Type 96B. The International Army Games were held on the territories of 12 countries, including China, Russia and Iran, with more than 270 teams from 37 countries competing.

The Type 96B has a remote controlled 12.7mm heavy machine gun on top of the turret, which is not always mounted. The Type 96A is up-armored with armor blocks, and upgraded gun sights. The Type 96 series uses a 125mm main gun. The ‘skirt’ gets shorter with each new generation of Type 96, the Type 96B being the shortest (sometimes they go ‘naked’).

CGTN video, first round of Tank Biathlon, 15AUG2022, revealing that the remote controlled 12.7mm can also be fired manually:
The Type 96A/B has a turret very similar to the VT4, VT5, and Type 99 tanks. The hull evolved from the Soviet/Russian T-54/55. The roadwheels are uniquely Chinese, and unlike the T-54/55 the track is supported. The Type 96B has more streamlined looking fenders, than the Type 96A, the two exhaust ports are closer together as well and not as obvious as on the Type 96A.

From a distance the Type 96A/B looks much like the old Cold War era NATO-West German Leopard 1A4.

The Chinese started with the T-54/55 hull, then got radical by replacing the unsupported track system with a supported track (the track-links themselves are the same), and replacing the manually loaded main gun with the auto-loading 125mm from a T-72.

It has been confused with the export only tanks VT1 and VT4, and the lightweight high altitude tank VT5. Sometimes it is called ZTZ-99A. The Type 99A is an radical evolution of the Type 99. The Type 99 is based on the Soviet/Russian T-72, it began service in 2001.
T-72 style roadwheels and small exhaust ports on both sides of the Type 99A.
The Type 99A has the driver’s position slightly offset from center of the front of the hull, and has two periscopes, the Type 99 has only one T-72 style periscope for the driver and the position is centered. Other Chinese tanks with similar looking turrets (like the Type 96B) have driver’s positions that are offset from center, on the driver’s left side, revealing they were originally based on the T-54/55.

In 2011, China began slowly replacing the Type 99 with the Type 99A, however, it wasn’t publicly revealed until 2015.

The exhaust ports on the Type 99A are set further back than the Type 99, due to a new powerpack (motor/transmission). The powerpack for the older Type 99 was reportedly developed by NATO-Germany. The headlights on the Type 99 sit higher up on the front slope than the Type 99A. The front tow hooks on the Type 99 sit on the upper front slope, below the headlights, while the tow hooks of the Type 99A are mounted on the lower front slope, inline with the headlights.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (which is pro-mRNA vaccination for all children), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) revealed that only 57% of children have been forced to take their first dose of mRNA vaccine! The CDC also admits that enforcing such mandates is logistically and politically difficult.
Despite three years of Mandate propaganda, school districts across the United States are caving to the will of angry parents. Education Week listed four of what they consider to be the top reasons mandate mRNA vaccines for grade school children failed: 1; courts have actually backed parents, ruling that only four of the 50 states have legal authority to impose such mandates! 2; school districts admitted, in a round-a-bout way, that the gap between parents who love vaccines for their kids, and parents who were opposed to the experimental mRNA vaccines, was too big to effectively deal with. Another factor is that schools were already facing an exodus problem, and the mRNA mandate would have pushed even more parents to take their kids out of public schools! 3; the realization that mRNA did not last very long and would require an who-knows how many boosters, plus the fact that this reality created an unknown regarding just what would be considered ‘full vaccination’, made establishing rules for mRNA vaccinations confusing! 4; the fact that coronavirus is forever evolving, rendering current mRNA vaccines useless, has resulted in the general public finally waking up to the Pandemic Perfidy propagated by pharmaceutical funded news media and politicians!
It should be noted that California and New York have, for many decades now, the most strict anti-Second Amendment laws in the United States, yet they still have the most gun violence/crime, some of which is by their own law enforcers!
The VT4A1 has an onboard drone that extends the battlefield observation of the tank crew to 10 kilometers. It is vertically mounted, next to the wind sensor on top of the turret.
Image taken from CGTN video, 07NOV2022.
It also has anti-tank missile detectors on the sides of the turret. The 125mm gun is enhanced by the use of new types of rounds fired from the gun.
Hour long CGTN report, from 06NOV2022, which starts off explaining the new VT4A1:
I have not found any People’s Liberation Army videos or photos of any Chinese units actually using the VT4, it appears to be an export only tank, so far with Pakistan the only customer.
Pakistan received its first VT4s in 2020, then placed an order for more VT4s in 2022, and is considering license building them.
