In a Thanksgiving tweet, The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention declared what everyone already knew—that it is the bank for George Soros on immigration. The Thanksgiving Day tweet from the ERLC promoted a video from a group connected with the National Immigration Forum. The National Immigration Forum is a well-known Soros-funded open borders group [Editor’s Note: This was originally posted by the Capstone Report, link included below].
Here is the tweet.

The website of the group promoting the video is Christiandreamers.US. The “About” information on the site declares, “Voices of Christian Dreamers is a grassroots, Dreamers-led movement committed to changing the conversation about undocumented immigrants in the Church and beyond, through highlighting biblical teaching, personal stories and other helpful resources.”
It isn’t grassroots. The website WHOIS information shows the site was registered by the National Immigration Forum. The National Immigration Forum is backed by globalists including George Soros and Jeb Bush.
Here is the whois information.

At least 10 percent of the NIF’s funding comes from Soros, according to the organization. The Christian Post reported, “The Soros money, which has ‘plummeted’ in the last few years, is only about 10 percent of NIF’s budget and is only used for internal operations.”
Sure. Whatever the use, Soros is funding an organization trying to change the minds of folks sitting in the pews of conservative, evangelical churches.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, “NIF receives millions of dollars from Soros groups, including support for its infiltration campaigns directed at evangelicals, police, and business.”
Infiltration is exactly what Soros and his fellow leftists are doing to evangelical Christian institutions. It is clear the Soros-funded campaign to muddle evangelical convictions on immigration is working. Now the ERLC tweets out open borders commercials from Soros’ think tank globalists.
Southern Baptists, your ERLC tweeted out political propaganda. Are you comfortable with that? Do you want your tithes and offerings intended to further missions work used to lobby against your political beliefs and interests? The ERLC is funded by the Cooperative Program and a portion of your undesignated tithes and offerings help fund Southern Baptist entities including the ERLC.
Are you comfortable with the elitist communitarians running things in the Southern Baptist Convention?

NEW WILLOW CREEK PASTOR JOINS THE POPE, PITS GRACE AGAINST REPENTANCE

 

 

NEW WILLOW CREEK PASTOR JOINS THE POPE, PITS GRACE AGAINST REPENTANCE

Willow Creek was Saddleback Church before Saddleback. For more than 30 years, Willow Creek Community Church in the Chicago area has been the flagship of the Church Growth Movement. By watering down doctrine and adopting (in some ways, inventing) the “seeker-sensitive” approach to ministry, Willow Creek herded goats into their doors, fed them sugar blocks, and slapped the word “church” on it. In 2015, the church announced that after a year of research into its membership, it recognized that their seeker-friendly approach was a near-total failure at creating serious disciples and pledged to change their ways and focus more on teaching the Bible (novel approach, we know). Since then, Willow Creek has changed leadership and seems to be struggling to change from their doctrineless, watered-down, evanjellyfish ways. Its new upcoming lead pastor, Steve Carter, recently joined the Bishop of Rome for warm fellowship and ostensible partnership.

According to this Protestant (lol) evangelical pastor, the Bishop of Rome (aka the Holy Father, Vicar of Christ and Head of the Church – three names reserved for God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ) is the type of listener, pastor and encourager that he wants to be.
Gross.
Maybe Willow Creek’s new pastor hasn’t heard of the Protestant Reformation. Maybe he didn’t know that the Pope is the type and shadow of the antichrist who has raised himself up to be God. Maybe he hasn’t heard about things like the Council of Trent or Vatican I or Vatican II. Maybe he’s unaware of the Pope’s doctrines of papal infallibility, the immaculate conception and bodily assumption of Mary, purgatory, or denying Sola Fide. Maybe Steve Carter doesn’t know what he’s supposed to be doing or teaching. Maybe he’s just vaguely unfamiliar with Christian doctrine in general. It’s either that, or Carter himself is a wolf in sheep’s clothing who’s as wicked as the Pope himself.
Some social media followers questioned Carter about becoming an odd bed fellow with the Scarlet Harlot. His response in unsurprising, yet nauseating.

Firstly, writing as a Protestant here, heck yes the photo triggers us. Are you new to Protestantism, Steve. Why wouldn’t it trigger us, especially when it is laced with a compliment?
Secondly, what’s the thought here, Steve? Do you think you’re going to spend some time making selfies with the Antichrist and then become his text-buddy? Are you two going to exchange pen-pal letters now and you hope to sneak a rebuke for idolatry in there somewhere? Will there be tin cans with string tied betwixt them strung up somewhere between Chicago and Vatican City so that you and the Pope can have some long, heart-felt late-night talks? Is the presumption that the Pope just hasn’t heard of Christianity yet, and by his relationship with Steve he’ll come to Jesus? I mean, he’s the Pope. He’s heard of the Gospel. It’s anathematized in his church councils and he stands against all that is good and pure.
If you only had a few seconds with the Pope, what would you say? Here’s how Ian Paisley handled that opportunity.

IAN PAISLEY HECKLES THE POPE 1988:

Thirdly and most importantly, Steve Carter equates “grace” with “not telling someone they’re in sin.” This is a perverse understanding of grace for a pastor. As John Newton wrote, “Twas grace that taught my heart to fear…” To call someone to repentance is an act of God’s grace toward that individual. To meet with the Pope and not frantically tell him that he is Satan’s gimp is not gracious, it is treason against God and hatred toward whatever fleshly body currently sits in the Antichrist’s seat. Grace calls to repentance; not calling to repentance is hate.
One can expect the tenure of Steve Carter at Willow Creek to be graceless, because its pastor has tragically confused niceness with grace.

DR. DUKE PESTA: CAMPUS GENDER POLITICS HITS NEW LOW

 Dr. Duke takes on the latest campus insanity, this time at prestigious Brown University. The graduate college has decided to allow candidates to identify with the race of their choice, ostensibly to expand campus diversity. What better way to become the most diverse campus in the world than to let everybody decide what they believe they are at that moment, regardless of reality? Given this reasoning, why not just admit one graduate student, and let him pretend to be somebody of a different race, gender, and sexuality every day? Problem solved. If you are wondering what any of this has to do with education, just pretend you’re a progressive for the day, and it will suddenly make sense.

Good. If she refuses to accept reality, leave her to her fantasies. Pretty soon the multiculti roof will cave in on her anyway, and she will realize Trump was calling attention to a real problem.

“She’s Blown It! POTUS Cancels UK Visit After PM May Grovels to EU, Whines Over Trump Tweets,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, December 1, 2017:

A planned “working visit” to the United Kingdom by U.S. President Donald Trump has been cancelled following Prime Minister Theresa May’s decision to publicly upbraid him over Twitter retweets.
The prime minister said the president was “wrong” to share videos purporting to show Muslims committing acts of violence while on a visit to the Middle East, where she is attempting to curry favour with local dictators.
President Trump did not hesitate to rebuke the British politician, telling her: “Don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!”
News that the president has cancelled a planned “working visit” to open the new U.S. embassy in London came in the early hours of the following morning.
“The idea of a visit has obviously been floated, but not December and not January. I would not expect a Trump visit in January,” a senior U.S. diplomat told The Telegraph….

KATE STEINLE'S KILLER ACQUITTED, SPARKING SHOCK, OUTRAGE

 

KATE STEINLE'S KILLER ACQUITTED, 

SPARKING SHOCK, OUTRAGE 

BY BOB ADELMANN

Immediately following the announcement late Wednesday that Kate Steinle’s killer, an illegal immigrant going by the name of Garcia Zarate (he had many aliases), shown, was only going to be charged with felony possession of a handgun and not first-degree murder or even manslaughter, social media lit up. Cyrus Firth twittered: “Let’s get this straight … in San Francisco, can you: - come here illegally? YES; – Unlawfully obtain a gun? YES; - Kill an innocent girl? YES; - be found “not guilty” for all? YES. THIS IS WHAT A SANCTUARY CITY LOOKS LIKE.”
Others were more temperate. President Donald Trump, who used outrage over the killing of Steinle back in July 2015 as part of his campaign for the presidency, called the verdict “disgraceful,” adding, “No wonder the people of our Country are so angry with illegal immigration.” Attorney General Jeff Sessions blamed San Francisco’s politicians for Steinle’s death:

When jurisdictions choose to return criminal aliens to the streets rather than turning them over to federal immigration authorities, they put the public’s safety at risk. San Francisco’s decision to protect criminal aliens led to the preventable and heartbreaking death of Kate Steinle.

Jim Steinle, Kate’s father who was with her when she was shot, expressed shock at the jury’s verdict: “We’re just shocked — saddened and shocked — that’s about it. There’s no other way you can coin it. Justice was rendered but it was not served.”
The narrative surrounding the charge of murder or manslaughter in the case is familiar: an illegal alien, who had been deported five times but returned to the United States a sixth time, with a record of seven felony arrests, is allowed to go free by San Francisco authorities even when they knew ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents asked to be notified so they could pick him up for deportation. Within a few months, said illegal immigrant finds a gun, mishandles it, sending a round off the pavement and into the back of a young girl who dies within hours.
After weeks of hearing testimony the six-man, six-woman jury — three of whom were legal immigrants — deliberated for six days before reaching a verdict. They had to decide whether the shooting was intentional, or an accident. The lawyer for the alien immigrant, Matt Gonzalez said the verdict was legitimate and should be respected:

The jury’s verdict should be respected. They heard the evidence. They deliberated as a group. They heard … testimony. They looked at the physical evidence and they rendered a verdict to the best of their abilities in accordance with the law.

The challenge facing the prosecution was somewhat sizable: There was only circumstantial evidence upon which it could build a case. It had to prove that Zarate’s killing of Steinle either was both willful and premeditated, or was the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought. For first-degree murder charges to stick, the prosecution had to prove to the jury “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Zarate intended to kill Steinle. The Legal Dictionary defines that term as such “that no other logical explanation can be derived from the facts except that the defendant committed the crime, thereby overcoming the presumption that a person is innocent until proven guilty.” The only way Zarate could have been convicted was for the prosecution to be so persuasive that the jurors “have no doubt as to the defendant's guilt, or if their only doubts are unreasonable doubts.” The prosecution had to prove to the jurors, at the very least, that Zarate pulled the trigger of the gun. His pulling of the trigger in a public place, resulting in death, would have led to a negligent homicide conviction. The jury evidently believed that the gun went off accidentally, without Zarate pulling the trigger. In gun-familiar Montana or some other state where gun owners would recognize how unusual an accidental misfire would be with that type of gun, a jury might have convicted. In San Francisco, not.
After six days of deliberation, they acquitted Zarate. All that is left is their ruling that he was a felon in possession of a gun, which demands a jail term of between 16 months and three years. ICE officials have said they will immediately deport Zarate for the sixth time once he has served that sentence.
Some good is likely to come out of this unhappy and painful incident. Attorney General Sessions said, “I urge the leaders of the nation’s communities to reflect on the outcome of this case and consider carefully the harm they are doing to their citizens by refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement officers.”
It’s helpful to remember that if immigration laws had been respected and enforced, Kate Steinle would most likely still be alive, and Zarate would never have been in the country, much less mishandling that firearm on San Francisco’s Pier 4 on July 1, 2015. Kate may be deceased but her cause lives on.

INFLUENZA VACCINE UPDATE 2017

 

 “Is getting an annual flu shot really “the best way” to protect yourself against influenza? Research frequently suggests otherwise.

INFLUENZA VACCINE UPDATE 2017 

BY JOSEPH MERCOLA

SEE: http://www.thevaccinereaction.org/2017/11/influenza-vaccine-update-2017/; 

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

It’s that time again. Flu season. And with it, a constant barrage of reminders to get your annual flu shot. Interestingly enough, what you’re being told about the influenza vaccine’s effectiveness and the reality are two very different stories. In January 2015, U.S. government officials admitted that, in most years, flu shots are—at best—50 to 60 percent effective at preventing lab confirmed type A or B influenza requiring medical care.¹
At the end of that same year, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analysis² of flu vaccine effectiveness revealed that, between 2005 and 2015, the influenza vaccine was actually less than 50 percent effective more than half of the time. I wonder if the reality might be even worse than that.
Research from 2011 shows just how easy it is to inflate efficacy rates simply by using different end points.³ At that time, they found that by using serologic measures, i.e., the increase in influenza antibodies identified in the blood, results in an overestimation of vaccine efficacy.
During the 2015/2016 flu season, FluMist, the live virus nasal spray that typically has been recommended for children in recent years, had a failure rate of 97 percent.⁴ Its failure was so epic, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended FluMist be taken off the list of recommended flu vaccines for the 2016 to 2017 season, a recommendation CDC officials ended up heeding. There are many other examples of the influenza vaccine not protecting people as promised. So, what might we expect from the vaccine this year?

2017 Flu Vaccine Lineup

Flu vaccines are by their nature a tricky business because influenza viruses are constantly evolving and public health officials have to guess at least six months before the flu season starts which type A and B influenza virus strains will be predominantly in circulation so drug companies can manufacture the vaccines. When the strains chosen do not match the strains actually causing most of the disease in any given flu season, the vaccine’s failure rate significantly increases.
Even when there’s a good match, the flu vaccine’s effectiveness is estimated to be between 40 and 60 percent,⁵ meaning that, at best, public health officials believe you have a 60 percent lower chance of not getting sick with influenza if you get a flu shot. But it could be as low as 40 percent. Put another way, it is still a coin toss no matter which way you look at it.
Before reviewing influenza vaccines, it is important to remember that the majority of respiratory influenza-like illness that people experience during any given flu season is NOT type A or B influenza.⁶ When you get a sore throat, runny nose, headache, fatigue, low-grade fever, body aches and cough, most of the time it is another type of viral or bacterial respiratory infection unrelated to influenza viruses.⁷ There are several different types of influenza vaccines. This year, the available vaccine lineup includes:^{8 9}

• Trivalent flu vaccines, which target two influenza A strains and one influenza B strain:

◦ A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus

◦ A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2)-like virus

◦ B/Brisbane/60/2008-like (B/Victoria lineage) virus

• Quadrivalent flu vaccines, which contain the same three strains as the trivalent, plus a second influenza B strain: B/Phuket/3073/2013-like (B/Yamagata lineage) virus. Two different types of quadrivalent vaccines are licensed:

◦ An inactivated version (Afluria quadrivalent)

◦ A recombinant version (Flublok quadrivalent)

There are also a range of delivery methods and formulations:

• A high-dose version for seniors over the age of 65, containing four times the amount of antigen as the regular dose of the standard vaccine
• An adjuvanted vaccine (Fluad) for seniors over 65, first available during the 2016 to 2017 season. It contains an adjuvant called MF59, described as an oil-in-water emulsion of squalene oil, added to hyper-stimulate a strong inflammatory response to try to strengthen artificial vaccine acquired immunity
• An intradermal flu vaccine for adults between 18 and 64
• An egg-free recombinant version approved for people over the age of 4 with an egg allergy
• A jet injector (needle-free) vaccine approved for adults between 18 and 64

Since it was licensed in 2003, a live attenuated flu vaccine in the form of a nasal spray has been available but, for the second year in a row, the CDC is recommending the nasal spray version not be used by anyone because of its history of ineffectiveness.
New for the 2017 to 2018 season is a quadrivalent influenza vaccine (Flucelvax) for individuals over 4 years old that uses dog kidney cells (MDCK) for production.¹⁰ Traditionally, candidate vaccine strain influenza viruses, i.e., the viruses selected for inclusion in the vaccine, have been produced using fertilized chicken eggs.
The cell-based influenza vaccine viruses are grown in cultured animal cells instead of chicken eggs.¹¹ Another relatively new technology uses insect cells to produce a recombinant quadrivalent influenza vaccine, Flublok, for individuals over 18 years old.^{12 13}

Shoulder Damage Following Flu Vaccination

In October 2015, journalist Marlene Cimons wrote about her experience following a routine pneumonia vaccination.¹⁴ While she said the injection itself hurt more than most other vaccinations, that was nothing compared to the pain she developed in the days and months following. “Initially, I dismissed it as typical post-shot soreness,” she writes. “But it didn’t go away.” Months later, her left shoulder was still in pain. Her orthopedist diagnosed her with subacromial bursitis—chronic inflammation and fluid buildup in the bursa sac. Cimons writes:

I’m convinced this occurred because the nurse injected the vaccine too high on my arm. I had no symptoms before the shot, and pain has persisted since. The needle probably entered the top third of the deltoid muscle—which forms the rounded contours of the shoulder—and probably went into the bursa or the rotator cuff, instead of lower down, into the middle part of the muscle, missing the bursa and rotator cuff entirely.

In a recent Facebook post, ABC Action News journalist Ashley Glass also complained of shoulder pain, saying she could “barely move my arm now,” following her flu shot.¹⁵ As it turns out, shoulder damage following vaccination¹⁶ is a known side effect of improper injection.
In a 2011 report, “Adverse Effects of Vaccines: Evidence and Causality,”¹⁷ the Institute of Medicine acknowledged that shoulder injuries are one of the possible adverse effects of vaccine injections, stating it found “convincing evidence of a causal relationship between injection of vaccine … and deltoid bursitis, or frozen shoulder, characterized by shoulder pain and loss of motion.”

Injection Site Injuries Becoming More Common

According to Dr. G. Russell Huffman, associate professor of orthopedic surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (cited by Cimons), shoulder injury related to vaccine administration, also known as SIRVA, includes chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tears, and are typically the result of the injection being administered too high on the arm.
Rather than being injected into the muscle, the vaccine is injected into the bursa or joint space and, since vaccines are designed to provoke an immune response, the immune system ends up attacking the bursa sac, leading to the effects just mentioned.
Part of the problem appears to be related to more people receiving their vaccinations outside of a clinical setting, such as in pharmacies and grocery stores. Many will simply pull down the top of their shirt, exposing only the upper part of their deltoid, thereby increasing their risk of getting the injection in the wrong area.
Whatever the cause, reports of SIRVA have definitely increased in recent years,¹⁸ as has SIRVA cases settled in the federal vaccine injury court. Between 2011 and 2015, 112 patients were compensated for SIRVA and over 50 percent of those cases were brought in 2015.^{19 20} In 2016, 202 SIRVA cases were awarded damages by the national Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) created by Congress under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.²¹
In July 2015, the Department of Health and Human Services proposed adding SIRVA to the NVICP Vaccine Injury Table (VIT), noting that, “The scientific evidence convincingly supports a causal relationship between an injection-related event and deltoid bursitis.” By adding it to the table, SIRVA cases brought before the government’s vaccine court will be easier and faster, allowing injured patients to receive compensation quicker.
SIRVA, as well as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), were two vaccine reactions officially added to the VIT earlier this year, and applies to petitions for compensation filed under NVICP on or after March 21, 2017.^{22 23} One of the first case studies²⁴ to recognize SIRVA was published in 2006. Clusters of GBS cases were noted among U.S. military personnel receiving the H1N1 influenza vaccine as early as 1976.²⁵
It took a decade to get SIRVA added to the NVICP’s injury table. If it takes that long for the government to acknowledge that vaccine injection site injuries are real, imagine what it takes to prove other vaccine injuries.
For GBS, it took more than four decades. Is it any wonder then that many very serious vaccine-related neurological problems still have not made it onto that list—and some have even been taken OFF the list by government officials reluctant to award compensation—considering the far-ranging ramifications it might have for the childhood vaccination program?²⁶

The More Flu Vaccines You Get, the More Likely You’ll Get Sick

It seems no matter how poor influenza vaccine effectiveness is, the national call for everyone to get a flu shot every single year remains. But is getting an annual flu shot really “the best way” to protect yourself against influenza? Research frequently suggests otherwise. A recent article in Science Magazine²⁷ delves into some of the finer points about individuality and how people’s immune responses vary depending on a number of different factors, including the age at which you’re exposed to the flu for the very first time.
That exposure will actually influence how your immune system responds for the rest of your life. Knowing this, what kind of effects might one expect when the first exposure to influenza viruses are vaccine viruses? It’s a gamble that no one has the answer to as of yet. Other studies have shown that:

With each successive annual flu vaccination, the theoretical protection from the vaccine appears to diminish.^28 29 Research published in 2014 concluded that resistance to influenza-related illness in persons over 9 years old in the U.S. was greatest among those who had NOT received a flu shot in the previous five years.³⁰

The flu vaccine may also increase your risk of contracting other, more serious influenza infections.

• Canadian researchers found that people who had received the seasonal flu vaccine in 2008 had twice the risk of getting sick with the pandemic H1N1 “swine flu” in 2009 compared to those who did not receive a flu shot the previous year.³¹

• A 2009 U.S. study compared health outcomes for children between 6 months and age 18 who do and do not get annual flu shots and found that children who receive influenza vaccinations have a three times higher risk of influenza-related hospitalization, with asthmatic children at greatest risk.³²

Statin drugs—taken by 1 in 4 Americans over the age of 45—may undermine your immune system’s ability to respond to the influenza vaccine.^33 34 After vaccination, antibody concentrations were 38 percent to 67 percent lower in statin users over the age of 65, compared to non-statin users of the same age.³⁵ Antibody concentrations were also reduced in younger people who took statins.

Independent science reviews have also concluded that flu shots do not appear to prevent influenza or complications of influenza.^36 37 Influenza vaccine does not appear to prevent influenza-like illness associated with other types of viruses responsible for about 80 percent of all respiratory or gastrointestinal infections during any given flu season.^{38 39 40 41}

Research⁴² published in 2006, which analyzed influenza-related mortality among the elderly population in Italy associated with increased vaccination coverage between 1970 and 2001, found that after the 1980s, there was no corresponding decline in excess deaths, despite rising vaccine uptake.According to the authors, “These findings suggest that either the vaccine failed to protect the elderly against mortality (possibly due to immune senescence), and/or the vaccination efforts did not adequately target the frailest elderly. As in the U.S., our study challenges current strategies to best protect the elderly against mortality, warranting the need for better controlled trials with alternative vaccination strategies.”

Another 2006 study⁴³ showed that, even though seniors vaccinated against influenza had a 44 percent reduced risk of dying during flu season than unvaccinated seniors, those who were vaccinated were also 61 percent less like to die BEFORE the flu season ever started.This finding has since been attributed to a “healthy user effect,” the idea of which is that older people who get vaccinated against influenza are already healthier and therefore less likely to die anyway, whereas those who do not get the shot have suffered a decline in health in recent months.

Study Suggests Flu Vaccination During Pregnancy Can Cause Miscarriage

In 2009, reports of miscarriage following administration of the pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) swine flu vaccine started emerging.⁴⁴ Dozens of women claimed they lost their babies hours or days after getting the pH1N1 vaccine, which had not been tested on pregnant women (if it was, the evidence was never published). Not surprisingly, these instances were passed off by health officials as coincidental. After all, miscarriages do happen, and for any number of different reasons.Study Suggests Flu Vaccination During Pregnancy Can Cause Miscarriage
Alas, scientific findings published September 25, 2017, in the medical journal Vaccine^{45 46 47} suggest this spike in miscarriage reports may not have been a fluke after all. Researchers found that women who had received a pH1N1-containing flu shot two years in a row were, in fact, more likely to suffer miscarriage within the following 28 days. While most of the miscarriages occurred during the first trimester, several also took place in the second trimester.
The median fetal term at the time of miscarriage was seven weeks. In all, 485 pregnant women aged 18 to 44 who had a miscarriage during the flu seasons of 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 were compared to 485 pregnant women who carried their babies to term. Of the 485 women who miscarried, 17 had been vaccinated twice in a row—once in the 28 days prior to vaccination and once in the previous year. For comparison, of the 485 women who had normal pregnancies, only four had been vaccinated two years in a row.
While study authors stated that direct causation could not be established, they called for more research to assess the link. Commenting on the study, which was funded by the CDC, Amanda Cohn, CDC adviser for vaccines stated:

I think it’s really important for women to understand that this is a possible link, and it is a possible link that needs to be studied and needs to be looked at over more [flu] seasons. We need to understand if it’s the flu vaccine, or is this a group of women [who received flu vaccines] who were also more likely to have miscarriages.

At present, the CDC is not making any changes to its recommendation for pregnant women, which states they can and should get a flu shot at any point during their pregnancy, no matter which trimester they’re in.⁴⁸ This is irresponsible public health policy at its worst, placing the health of women and their unborn children in danger so corporations can profit.
Remember, the former head of the CDC, Julie Gerberding, left the CDC in 2009 to later become president of Merck Vaccines, a position she held until December 2014, when she became Merck’s executive vice president of strategic communications, global public policy and population health.⁴⁹ She’s a poster child for the revolving door between government and industry, and a clear example of how that door is working against protecting the public health and safety.

Fraudulent Advertising Is the Norm for Flu Vaccines

Now we find out that the 2016 to 2017 influenza vaccine, which public health officials acknowledged was very well-matched to circulating viral strains and was hailed in February 2017 as “one of the most effective in years,”⁵⁰ actually turned out to be another rather useless dud.
According to the CDC, 100 percent of circulating H1N1, 95 percent of the H3N2, 90.6 percent of the Victoria B lineage viruses and 100 percent of the Yamagata B lineage viruses were similar to the vaccine virus components for the 2016 to 2017 season.⁵¹
In other words, the match-up between the vaccine strains and the circulating strains causing type A or B influenza illness was about as good as you could ever hope for and, based on interim estimates in February, the CDC reported vaccinated individuals were 59 percent less likely to get sick than unvaccinated individuals.⁵²
Dr. Joseph Bresee, CDC’s influenza division’s associate director of global health affairs, told NBC News this was “good news and underscores the importance and the benefit of both annual and ongoing vaccination efforts this season.”⁵³ Fast-forward four months, and the good news turned into a report of last year’s seasonal flu shot being yet another dismal failure.
It turns out the 2016 to 2017 influenza vaccine had “no clear effect” in those between the ages of 18 and 49. Ditto for the elderly. In fact, influenza-related hospitalizations among seniors were the highest they’ve been since the 2014 to 2015 season, which was rated as “severe.”
Among young children, the effectiveness was about 60 percent.⁵⁴ In older children and adults between the ages of 50 and 64, the overall effectiveness topped out at about 42 percent, in terms of preventing illness severe enough to send you to the hospital or doctor’s office.
As reported by U.S. News & World Report,⁵⁵ “In four of the last seven flu seasons, influenza vaccine was essentially ineffective in seniors, past studies suggest. The worst performances tend to be in H3N2-dominant seasons.”
Last year, H3N2 type A influenza, which is associated with more severe illness and increased mortality among seniors and very young children, was the most prevalent influenza strain circulating in the U.S.⁵⁶ So far, CDC influenza surveillance data indicates that H3N2 is the most prevalent strain circulating in the U.S. this year, as well.⁵⁷
You can find a listing of adjusted vaccine effectiveness estimates for each influenza season going back to 2005 until 2016 on the CDC’s Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness, 2005 to 2017 webpage.⁵⁸ told U.S. News & World Report, “While it is clear we need better flu vaccines, it’s important that we not lose sight of the important benefits of vaccination with currently available vaccines.”
What exactly those “important benefits” are was left unsaid. Personally, I cannot think of a single one. I can, however, point to a number of well-documented risks of harm and failure associated with influenza vaccine, which people take year after year, while apparently getting virtually no benefit at all.

FDA Approves Four-Strain Flu Vaccine for Children

 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
 recently expanded the age indication for Seqirus’ Afluria Quadrivalent 
influenza vaccine to include patients aged five years or older.

The FDA first approved Afluria in August 2016 for patients aged 18 years or older. The vaccine is intended to protect against two strains of influenza A virus, as well as two strains of influenza B virus.  The traditional seasonal flu vaccine covered two lineages of influenza A virus and one of influenza B virus. However, since 1985, two subtypes of influenza B have been circulating.¹

Approval was based on a randomized trial including 2,278 children aged five to 17 years in which Afluria Quadrivalent demonstrated non-inferiority to a comparator vaccine containing the same virus strain targets.¹
Like the  trivalent version of Afluria, the  quadrivalent version is available in pre-filled syringes, as well as multi-dose vials.¹
The Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) had previously recommended against the use of Afluria for anyone younger than nine years, but changed its recommendation to be in line with the new FDA indication.²

Holding the Line on Vaccine Exemptions 

in America

 When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I really didn’t know a lot about this issue, But I started reading and asking questions and my mom sent me my baby book, and in it there was a vaccine reaction recorded for me, and that wasn’t something we had talked about, and it was pretty serious. So I started looking more into it and looked at what options did I have in Texas, and there weren’t many at all. We had a very restrictive medical exemption and an even more restrictive religious exemption. Didn’t make sense, and when I finally went and looked at the different places where I could possibly birth my baby and asked about avoiding the hepatitis B vaccine, I was told that I was single-handedly going to stop the worldwide eradication of hepatitis B if I didn’t vaccinate.

Vax Court Sees 400% Increase 

in Vaccine Injury Payouts

 Flu Shot Wins Top Honors for Biggest Payout

BY LORI MARTIN GREGORY

 Vaccine injury cases are on the rise people, so if you’ve got your 
head in the sand and you haven’t been paying attention, it’s time to 
wake up.

Here’s a little background for those of you just getting started.

 

Ronnie Reagan… almost 30 years ago to the day, the 40th president of the United States signed away the rights of Americans to sue vaccine makers, replacing them with a law that forces families who have suffered vaccine injury or death to sue the U.S. government instead of a pharmaceutical company.
As a result, special masters from the United States Special Claims Court, also known for our purposes as the vaccine court, are given full authority as judge with no jury to decide the fate of Americans who have had the unfortunate ‘luck’ to be stricken by a vaccine injury — which can range from chronic, mild symptoms to death.
Once a year, this non-traditional court provides the public with a glimpse into its inner workings, by issuing an annual report on its website — a ritual that happens every January.  The report is sent to the President of Congress, otherwise known as the Vice President of the United States, where it is intended to serve as a bell weather monitoring reactions the American public may be having to vaccinations that are increasingly becoming forced by government mandates around the country.
Great, right?  Accountability in action?
Wrong.
The report, which is consistently ignored by mainstream media/politicians/health officials and the CDC, lies dormant on the reports page of the U.S. Special Claims Court website.
No headlines, no press release, no analysis, no alert the media, no nothing.
No surprise, given that most people in America don’t even know that vaccines were ruled to be unavoidably unsafe by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011.  Also no surprise, that mainstream, co-opted, globalist elite media constantly ignore this report, along with sane arguments made by health freedom advocates about the dangers and risks of vaccine injury (‘look! a unicorn!’), instead using terms like ‘the science is in,’ and vaccine risk has been ‘debunked,’ to deter rational discussion pertaining to evidence that is hiding in plain sight.
Also no surprise that the U.S. Special Claims Court offers up an ineffective, low tech, archaic version of the report every year.  Instead of a nice, sort-able spread sheet, the court posts a scanned PDF document — a format which requires labor-intensive activities to conduct any sort of concrete analysis.  One must either re-data-entry all 220+ pages which would take weeks, or conduct an extensive, hand-written breakdown by vaccine of each case, combined with extensive tallying and organization efforts in order to identify statistical relevance and trends emerging from the vaccine court.
Is this by design?  Perhaps.  Most definitely it is at the very least a deterrent from having anybody actually sit down and try to analyze the damn thing.
Which is exactly why we do it, every year since 2014.  Not to be deterred, it took us 10 months to finally finish our analysis of this year’s report.  But once we did, the trends we found were shocking — not just because of what they revealed about the continual increase in vaccine injury, but also because of the deafening silence present among the halls of mainstream media, as vaccine injury continues to be a subject that journalists and media outlets ignore — chalking it up to yet another conspiracy theory from yet another fake news site.
Well pull up a chair and hold on to your hats, because guess what we discovered:

1. Vaccine court settlement payouts increased in total $91.2 million in 2015, up from $22.8 million in 2014 to $114 million in 2015 — a 400% increase.
2. Vaccine court settlement payments for flu shots increased the most, from $4.9 million in 2014 to $61 million in 2015 —  an increase of more than 1000%, despite autumnal onslaughts every year of media/pr/advertising campaigns urging Americans to ‘get your flu shot,’ with total abandon for the statistical facts coming out of the vaccine court.
3. Varicella (chicken pox) had the third biggest increase — from $0 in 2014 to $5.8 million in 2015.  (No surprise shingles is on the rise among the elderly population, as recently vaccinated grandchildren continuously shed live virus to their unsuspecting elders.)
4. Hepatitis B was the fourth largest increase in vaccine court settlements, increasing 321% in 2015 to more than $8 million in 2015 from $1.9 million in 2014.
5. TDap/DTP/DPT and D/T shots were the fifth largest increase, leaping 75% in 2014 from $5.5 million to $9.8.

 

The rest of the settlements not pictured here are: Tetanus, $4 million; HPV $3.4 million, up from almost nothing in 2014 (one to watch in January when the 2016 report is issued); MMR, which actually decreased from the number one position last year to under $1 m — an 88%+ decrease in payouts; pertussis, $1.7 million; thimerisol $1.5 million; HIB, $345k, menginococal $500k, HEP A $408k, DPT & Polio, $210k & rotovirus $76k. 
You may have noticed we omitted the second place winner, ‘other.’  Here’s why.
‘Other’ illustrates perfectly the dodgy nature of the vaccine court report, and its lack of transparency in the vaccine court process.  Instead of identifying which combination of vaccines are being charged with injury or death and labeling the case accordingly, a special master can decide to label a vaccine case ‘other,’ thereby diluting its affect on the overall numbers in the final analysis.
In 2015, the ‘other’ category was the second largest increase in vaccine settlement payments, totaling $21.5 million in payouts, up 388% from $4.4 million in payouts the year before.
We’re not accusing anybody of anything.  But, 388% increase is a lot.  What combination of vaccines is causing such an increase?  Doesn’t the public have a right to know?  If the court decided, for example, that there were too many flu shot settlements mounting for the year, couldn’t it simply skew the data by categorizing certain cases as ‘other,’ which would artificially deflate the flu category?
Did we mention that these results are ONLY for the judgements — cases that are found in favor of the plaintiff.  It does NOT include the EXTENSIVE legal fees for both sides, which are paid for by the U.S. government whether the lawyer wins or loses the case?  Those are categorized as costs.  And instead of submitting them in the report along with any judgments that are awarded, often they are entered as separate entries, making the exercise of linking them with their judgement payouts that much harder, requiring yet another step in the arduous, analysis of data.

The total dollar payout of legal fees for the vaccine court in 2015 is $42 million.
Also, a hand full of settlements in the payout are based on annuities — that means that the payouts (many of which total more than $1 million) reoccur annually.  That’s because life as they knew it for some plaintiffs disappeared after their vaccine injury occurred, and the costs to care for them in perpetuity for the life of the plaintiff requires an annual sum that is often extensive.
Share far and wide people, it’s time to turn the tide.
