The hospital compared flu infection rates of vaccinated patients against unvaccinated patients and found no difference with infection rates.
This is not surprising as it’s been known for some time that if your immune system is already fighting an illness the vaccines don’t work! Yet, the obviously pro-vaccine hospital now wants everybody in connection with the cancer victim to be vaccinated, from the caregivers to every relative that might come into contact with the victim. It’s called vaccination ‘cocooning’.

At least 70 people in Ireland are suing the taxpayer funded Health Products Regulatory Authority (Irish Medicines Board), claiming the Pandemrix vaccine gave them sleeping sickness!
That specific swine flu shot, made by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), was administered in 2009-10. The lawsuit is the result of the discovery of a vaccine safety report issued by GlaxoSmithKline to the then called Irish Medicines Board.
The safety study compared German made Pandemrix to Canadian made Arepanrix and found that the adverse effects of Pandemrix is as much as ten times worse than Arepanrix, yet the Irish health czars still used Pandemrix. The lawsuit also claims the Health Products Regulatory Authority (Irish Medicines Board) intentionally hid the vaccine safety problem from government regulators.
The U.S. CDC and Food & Drug Administration run a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). It’s not a way of testing a vaccine before approval for use, it’s only for reporting health problems after vaccination and most people don’t even know about VAERS.

A 50 years old former security guard is accused of setting a kindergarten on fire, killing four children and their teacher, 40 others are wounded (25 hospitalized, 15 treated and released), most of the children are four or five years old. The attacker also set himself on fire and is dead.
Locals believe the attack was vengeance by the security guard for being fired, after eight years on-the-job. Other reports say the security guard was suffering from health problems and asked for time off, but was told to get a doctor’s excuse. Police haven’t confirmed either report. It happened in Janaúba, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The local hospital is asking for donations of supplies that are specific for treating burns.
Maybe it’s not the gun that drives people to kill?
“In Brazil, all firearms are required to be registered with the minimum age for gun ownership being 25. It is generally illegal to carry a gun outside a residence, and a special permit granting the right to do so is granted to certain groups, such as law enforcement officers. To legally own a gun, an owner must hold a gun license, which costs BRL R$1000, and pay a fee every three years to register the gun, currently at BRL R$85. Registration can be done online or in person with the Federal Police.”-Wikipedia

“The influenza vaccine doesn’t seem to be as effective this year as previous years, especially for elderly members of the community. Some years there are late seasonal changes, appearances of new strains or mutations. Depending on the type of strain and change, or lack thereof, there can be any number of end results in terms of vaccine effectiveness.”– Tony Bartone, Australian Medical Association
This year the British empire country of Australia is experiencing a 156% increase in flu infections, compared to last year. Some people are calling it the Horror Flu. So far 370 people have died, a little less than half being old people, H3N2 is the most common influenza.
However, despite admitting there might be a problem with vaccines, the leftist control-freak health ‘experts’ still blame everything on Australia’s typically low vaccination rate. In fact they’re now blaming it on children who’re not vaccinated, calling them “super spreaders”! Apparently, even with offering free flu shots, only 10% of Aussies get vaccinated, far fewer than number of people who get vaccinated in United States.
But here’s the real reason why I think the health czars’ scapegoating of unvaccinated children in the Commonwealth of Nations member is hyperbole; just last week the United Nations’ World Health Organization (WHO) warned the Australian health system that its flu shots were not up-to-snuff, declaring this year’s vaccine to be “suboptimal”.
While blaming it on people who don’t get vaccinated Tony Bartone, vice president of the Australian Medical Association, admitted to a truth about viruses: “Basically, all creatures evolve and viruses are no different. They become prevalent because of their ability to rapidly evolve.”
Remember, this year’s vaccines are based on the previous year’s microbes. In a complicated way the UN admitted they got it wrong when trying to guess what kind of influenza to prepare for with this year’s vaccine: “We essentially made a decision about changing the vaccine’s A(H3) strain for the 2018 season. About 60 to 65% of influenza in Australia was caused by the influenza A(H3) strain and the majority of the recent viruses didn’t react as well with the vaccine strain.”-Kanta Subbarao, WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza at the Doherty Institute in Melbourne, Australia

U.S. FEDERAL/STATE/LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAYOFFS JUNE 2016 : “WE’RE NOT TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN PEOPLE, THAT’S BULLSHIT!” as it’s been revealed that a taxpayer funded scholarship program known as DACA funds college education for ILLEGAL immigrants! Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proudly and openly supports it! DACA is in addition to any other financial aid: “I was able to get scholarships and grants through DACA.”-Clara Kim, Korean student at elitist Azusa Pacific University in California who admitted to Hillary Clinton that she was in the U.S. illegally, Hillary Clinton then ‘applauded’ Kim’s efforts, it was caught on video by CBSLos Angeles.
M16 in action during Operation Cook, Viet Nam, September 1968. U.S. Army photo.
The AR-15 is now known as the silly-vilian semi-auto version of the Viet Nam era M16. The original AR-15 was the weaker version of the military’s experimental AR-10, which was a true high-power/high-velocity weapon. Once the military accepted the AR-15 for mass production its nomenclature was changed to M16.
A U.S. Air Force security Airman using a CAR-15. What is notable is that this is the ancient version which can be identified by its lack of a Forward Assist. This photo was produced in June 2000, yes, the U.S. military was still using the ancient version of the CAR-15 in 2000. USAF photo by Scott Spitzer.
The CAR-15 is probably the most photographed version of the AR-15. It is the Commando Assault Rifle, a shortened version of the AR-15.
I’m getting tired of the main stream news media and their puppet master politicians and anti-2nd Amendment activists claiming the AR-15 (M16/M4), and even the AK-47, are “high-powered, high-velocity” weapons. I can blame the police who constantly refer to these relatively low velocity guns as “high-power” weapons. But I can’t just blame them, I have to blame the gun industry itself. The AR-15 is marketed as a high power weapon, there’s even an internet business called High Velocity Arms that specializes in the AR-15.
To make it worse the gun industry intentionally makes their many versions of the AR-15 look ‘mean’. Looks have nothing to do with the performance of the ammo used in the gun!
Arkansas National Guard video from 2018, by Specialist Stephen M. Wright, showing they were using a combination of M16A2s, CAR-15s and M4s:

This old-skool bolt action single shot rifle is the U.S. military’s M24 sniper rifle based on the Remington Model 700. It uses the NATO 7.62mm x 51mm (aka Wincester .308 caliber), which has much more velocity and power than the rounds used by the AR-15/M16/M4, and AK-47s.
Does this gun look ‘mean? This hunting rifle uses a true high-power/high-velocity 7mm Remington Magnum round.
Does this gun scare you? It’s the Ruger Mini-14 and it uses the same ammo as the AR-15/M16/M4.
High-power and high-velocity are relative. Compared to a .22 caliber ‘Long Rifle’ the .223 caliber round used by the AR-15 is high-velocity, but compared to many more guns available the AR-15 is what gun owners call a “plinker”. In fact that’s the true reason why the AR-15 is a popular gun, it’s more powerful than a .22 LR, but is far cheaper to shoot than the true high-power/high-velocity weapons.
The AK-47 and AR-15 ammo are much smaller than ammo used in hunting rifles and even ‘cowboy’ lever action guns. Photo by AAron B. Hutchins, June 2016.
The AR-15 uses a .223 caliber (5.56mm bullet diameter, 45mm long casing) round. The AR-15 can be fitted with ‘sub-caliber’ kits that allow it to fire the smaller .22 LR ammo, or the 9mm pistol ammo.

The AK-47 uses a larger .30 caliber (7.62mm) bullet, but the casing (39mm long) is shorter than the .223, which means it’s actually lower velocity than the AR-15’s ammo, yet main stream news and anti-gunners call it a high power/high-velocity weapon as well.
A boring U.S. Army video (with bad audio), from November 2008, by Specialist Amber Stephens, showing the Iraq army being trained by U.S. instructors on how to use the Soviet designed AK-47. Towards the end of the video you can see their shot groups on the targets, proving the AK-47 can be accurate, at close range anyway:
I have a Winchester lever action rifle, some people call it a cowboy gun because it’s the rifle made famous by the old TV ‘western’ show The Rifleman. It uses .30-30 caliber (7.62mm bullet, 51mm’R’ casing) round, a much larger round than the AR-15.

Then there’s .308 Winchester (7.62mm bullet, 51mm casing, aka NATO 7-6-2). While it’s similar in size to the .30-30 it is considered by some military analysts to be more powerful than the .30-30, hence it’s why military and police use it for sniping and light machine guns (LMG). Then there’s a round made famous during World War 1 and 2; .30-06 Springfield (7.62mm bullet, 63mm long casing).
The U.S. military switched from .30-06 to .308 because the smaller casing .308 could perform just as good or better than the .30-06, depending on the weight of the bullet and type of gun powder used. This brings up another point; the power and velocity (ballistics) of a bullet can also be affected by its weight and type of charge used in the casing. But hands down the AR-15 round can’t come close to the power and velocity of the .308, .30-06 or 7mm magnum.
I’ve read several U.S. main streamer media sources lauding Brazil’s anti-gun law, claiming it reduced the murder rate!
Brazil’s Institute of Applied Economic Research says the homicide rate did drop, by 2 (two)! In 2010 the homicide rate was 20 out of 100000 people, that’s two people less than the rate for 2003 when the Disarmament Statute was passed. A two person drop in seven years of the gun ban, and they call that proof anti-gun laws work?
Another problem, the reports I saw did not specify homicide by gun, they simply said homicides. As far as I know that could include homicides not involving guns. Also, it did not mention overall violent crime, which has been on the increase.
In January 2013, the BBC reported a shooting at a samba school in Brazil, then went on to blatantly lie saying Brazil did not have any tough anti-gun laws.
It was the BBC that reported a more recent shooting of three unarmed teenagers, right in front of cops who did nothing. See the video report here. Interestingly the BBC report admits that violent crime has actually gone up since the Brazilian anti-gun law was passed!
In 2011 there was a mass shooting at a school in Brazil. You can watch CCTV video which includes news video. The CCTV shows kids running for their lives, and in the news video one guy says It was just like in the United States, except for one thing, Brazil has stricter anti-gun laws!
A few international news sites have reported that CBS News conducted a poll that showed 85% of people in the United States are against war with Iran. Blog sites have been picking up that ball and running with it. The problem is that it’s not true.
I looked at the CBS News Poll, and it’s not quite what’s being reported by other internet sites. The results were 55% who thought diplomacy was enough, 17% who said Iran was no threat, and 15% who wanted to go to war NOW! I didn’t see any “85% against war with Iran”.
The CBS News Poll has a lot of other interesting responses about U.S. policy in the Middle East, North Africa, China and North Korea, but, like many polls, the number of respondents are just to small to accurately represent the whole of the U.S. population.

A San Diego based company once touted as ‘the saviour of retail’ is now part of the Zombie Jesus Apocalypse! Appliance retailer Pirch suddenly began shutting down most of its stores across the U.S. as part of a new plan to refocus on California ops only, hundreds of jobs lost by Thanksgiving! In August, Pirch boasted sales that rivaled Apple Inc stores. Schizophrenic San Francisco based clothier GAP shutting down 2-hundred more namesake and Banana Republic stores, however, claims it plans to open 270 new Old Navy and Athleta stores. Total Woman Gym + Spa shutdown its Enchinitas location, 59 jobs gone. Event venue Eventbrite suddenly laid off 47 people in Oakland and San Francisco.
