Ten new studies detail health risks of 5G

  • Several studies published between 2022 and 2024 underscore the health risks posed by 5G technology
  • Research contradicts the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection guidelines, demonstrating various harmful biological effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on humans and the environment, including potential cancer risk
  • Studies reveal 5G’s potential to induce neurological damage and psychiatric problems, highlighting its effects on brain development, including the increased risk of conditions like dementia through mechanisms such as the impairment of neurosin
  • A December 2023 study illustrates the detrimental effects of 5G RFR on rat sperm, showing decreased sperm count and quality, with melatonin offering a protective effect
  • February 2024 research indicates significant changes in the fecal microbiome and metabolome profiles in mice exposed to 5G RFR, hinting at broader implications for health, including mental well-being and immune function

On the awful Catch-22 the media and public health face over Covid jabs

Everyone now knows mRNA shots are neither safe nor effective. But the people who pushed them fear telling the truth will wreck their credibility. So they keep lying – and wrecking their credibility.
Everyone hates mRNA.

That’s no exaggeration.

The new Covid “vaccine” season started last month. It’s shaping up even worse (for Moderna and Pfizer and the Centers for Disease Control) than last year’s.

In deep blue New York State, under 5 percent of people have received an mRNA jab this fall, including not even 1 percent of children and teenagers.¹ The figures are similar elsewhere. At this rate, maybe 10 percent of Americans will get a Covid shot before next spring – and the figure will likely be even lower in red states.

Investors have noticed too. Shares in Moderna are down 44 percent in the last year and have fallen almost 90 percent since their 2021 peak – which was, of course, fueled by the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandates.

Yet public health bureaucrats and journalists are still pretending it’s 2021.

Last month, CBS News tut-tutted its worry that Americans might “skip COVID and flu shots.” (The network claimed that up to half of adults might get this year’s vaccine, an estimate so far off as to be laughable. The figure represents either deep-blue-Manhattan-media fantasy or a deliberate effort to make the shots seem more popular than they are, or more likely both.)

Meanwhile, the CDC is sticking with its bizarre recommendation that everyone —including infants older than six months, teenagers, and healthy adults — receive a new mRNA booster jab.

Over at the Atlantic (always! always the Atlantic!), failed Substacker Charlie Warzel threw this line into his anti-free-speech rant yesterday about growing distrust of the media and government:

The pandemic saw Americans, distrustful of authority, trying to discredit effective vaccines, spreading conspiracy theories, and attacking public-health officials… reality-fracturing is the result of an information ecosystem that is dominated by platforms that offer financial and attentional incentives to lie and enrage.

Let me try to explain this as clearly as I can to Warzel: You have cause-and-effect EXACTLY backwards.

People know the mRNAs didn’t work.

They know in the most fundamental, personal way: because they (not me, lucky me, I danced through the raindrops and I am glad I did) took or were forced to take the shots. Then they had side effects, sometimes serious ones, including autoimmune conditions and cardiac disorders. Then they got Covid. Then they got Covid again. And they may also know older people who took the jabs and later died of Covid – putting the lie to the theory the shots work against serious illness even after they fail against infection.

The mRNA shots are not effective. They are not particularly safe either. More evidence about their risks is emerging every month, usually from studies conducted outside the United States, since American researchers won’t touch the issue.

Americans have figured this out for themselves, which is why 90 percent of people won’t get them anymore. Even most Americans who get flu shots², people who are by definition not anti-vaccine, won’t get them.

Public health officials and journalists lied – or, at best, badly misled and overpromised – about the Covid vaccine. They must know they did, since everyone else does.

Yet instead of being honest about their mistakes, they are doubling down. Of course trust in public health and journalism is falling to all-time lows. (The Biden dementia fiasco did not help.)

I understand the crisis they face. I understand the impulse to keep lying.

Admitting the truth now will be incredibly painful for both reporters and public health experts. Acknowledging they failed to note the obvious risks of shoving a hastily tested biotechnology into the arms of more than a billion people will provoke anger from readers and viewers and patients. Figuring out how they became handmaidens for Pfizer and Moderna will be awful.

But they have to stop digging. They are hurting confidence not just in the mRNAs, not just in all vaccines (I know many of you want that, you know I am not convinced), not just in public health and the media – but in all our government and scientific institutions.

The failure of the mRNAs, and the failure to admit or discuss that failure, is corroding every part of our civic life.

It has to end. The people responsible must admit the truth.

Or we will never trust our institutions again.

A Chance Plane Ride

Years ago, a friend of mine was seated on a plane next to a chief executive of a major American chemical company that was notorious for polluting the environment and sickening large numbers of Americans with its products. After building a friendly rapport, my friend asked the executive what he considered the most important piece of advice he had to share. The executive immediately responded:

Always wash new clothes before you put them on.

I’ve never forgotten that story, and over time, my patients have helped me appreciate how many dangerous chemicals end up on our clothing.

How Your Clothes and Their Materials Shape Your Health

•Many dangerous chemicals end up in clothing and cosmetic products because there is almost no regulation of these products. Unless we take precautions, their toxins can enter us through our skin.

•Tight and constrictive clothing (e.g., ties or pants) can be particularly detrimental to health. This is best demonstrated with bras, a recent cultural invention that cause a significant number of issues. Worse still, their usage has been strongly linked to breast cancer.

•This article will also share the strategies for cultivating a healthy wardrobe.

‘Trust the Science’? Drug Development, Medical Research Tainted by Scientific Fraud as 10,000 Research Papers Retracted in 2023 Alone (Journal ‘Nature’)

Medical Research Station

“Corruption is creeping into the system,” admits Oxford University professor.

Skyrocketing peer-review fraud has caused a record-breaking 10,000+ sham research papers to be retracted in 2023 alone.

Experts are calling the startling revelation “only the tip of the iceberg.”

Last year’s deluge of fraudulent papers means that the total number of retractions issued so far has passed 50,000, according to a recent Nature analysis.

Big Pharma Paid Over $1 Billion to Influence Medical Research from 2020-2022 in BMJ, JAMA, The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine

58.9% of journal reviewers received pharmaceutical industry payments, revealing massive industry conflict of interest.

A new research letter published October 10, 2024 in the peer-reviewed publisher JAMA reveals that reviewers for major medical journals have received $1.06 billion in pharmaceutical industry payments, highlighting significant conflicts of interest within medical research.

The letter begins by emphasizing the existence of “conflicts of interest of journal editors and authors” and that “the traditionally opaque nature of peer review has hindered their evaluation among peer reviewers, despite their crucial role in academic publishing.”

The authors point out that while most journals have established conflict of interest policies for authors, “fewer extend these policies to peer reviewers.”

They write that “reviewer conflict of interest disclosures are rare” and “leading medical journals may have industry ties due to their academic expertise.”

The U.S., Canadian, and Japanese researchers sought to characterize payments by drug and medical device manufacturers to U.S. peer reviewers of major medical journals.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, these journals experienced an unprecedented surge in citations, particularly for their COVID-related publications.

The new letter raises questions about these journals being relied upon for accurate and unbiased information, especially during a pandemic.

The authors conclude by calling for “additional research and transparency regarding industry payments in the peer review process.”

Top Medical Journals
The letter identified peer reviewers for The British Medical Journal (BMJ), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), The Lancet, and The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) using each journal’s 2022 reviewer list.

“These journals were selected for their high impact factor and reputation as leading publications of original general medical research,” the letter reads.

After extracting general and research payments to the identified peer reviewers between 2020 and 2022 from the Open Payments database, the researchers captured payments from drug and medical device manufacturers to US-licensed physicians.

Nearly 60% of Reviewers Took $1.06 Billion from Pharma Industry Over 3 Years
A total of 1,962 unique reviewers were identified, with 145 (7.4%) reviewing for more than one journal.

Between 2020 and 2022, 1,155 reviewers (58.9%) received pharmaceutical industry payments: 54.0% accepted general payments, and 31.8% received payments for research.

Between 2020 and 2022, reviewers received an astounding $1.06 billion in industry payments, with 94.0% ($1 billion) going to individuals or institutions and a median research payment of $153,173.

“Reviewers received $1.06 billion in industry payments between 2020 and 2022, including $1.00 billion (94.0%) to individuals or their institutions and $64.18 million (6.0%) in general payments,” the letter reads.

“Consulting fees and speaking compensation unrelated to continuing medical education programs accounted for $34.31 million and $11.80 million, respectively. Over the 3 years, the median general payment was $7614 (IQR, $495-$43 069) and the median research payment was $153 173 (IQR, $29 307-$835 637) among reviewers receiving such payments.”
