A man was stabbed in an anti-vaccine rally in downtown Los Angeles this past week. Organizers gathered to protest against vaccine requirements implemented in Los Angeles and San Francisco. People are required to be vaccinated to enter bars, restaurants, movie theatres, and gyms.
Organizers held the demonstration to decry coronavirus mask mandates like the one implemented in Los Angeles County last month, and vaccine requirements like the stipulations for entering many establishments in San Francisco instituted this week.
A counter-protest with a pro-vaccine took place in front of City Hall. After high tensions, fistfights, mace, and death threats someone was stabbed.
It was estimated that several hundred anti-vax protesters were in attendance with several dozen pro-vaccine protestors.
Previously anti-vax protestors shut down the Dodgers Stadium vaccination site protesting while carrying signs.
CDC Changes Covid-19 Recommendations for Pregnant Women
In updated guidelines, the CDC is urging all pregnant women to become vaccinated against Covid-19 stating that the “benefits out way any known or potential risks”.
The CDC now recommends anyone above the age of 12, including those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or who may become pregnant, get the vaccine.
COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all people aged 12 years and older, including people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or might become pregnant in the future. Pregnant and recently pregnant people are more likely to get severely ill with COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can protect you from severe illness from COVID-19.
Previously the CDC stated pregnant women “could” get vaccinated. Now the CDC says new research has found no increased risk between the vaccine and miscarriage.
The study found the miscarriage rate to be around 13% which is said to be within the “normal” range. While miscarriages may be common or normal for some women, they are not healthy and are a sign of a greater problem.
Pregnant women were not included in the original trials of the vaccines that led to emergency FDA authorization.
This update in guidance comes after a surge in cases caused by the new Delta variant.
Period Side Effects After the Covid-19 Vaccine
Many women have reported period side effects after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. Women who usually have light or mile periods have reported heavy painful cycles and women have reported their periods coming early, days following vaccination. Women on birth control who usually don’t have periods have reported their periods returning. Transgender people who are on testosterone have reported their periods returning, and women who have gone through menopause have reported the same thing.
Headache, fever, and chills are all common side effects people were warned about when receiving the vaccine but the potential consequences to women’s menstrual cycles were not talked about.
It is commonplace for women to experience significantly worse, or different side effects from medicine than men do. Despite this women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, are often left out of clinical trials.
In 1977 the FDA banned “women of childbearing potential” from participating in clinical trials, for almost 20 years. Many medications were linked to birth defects, and so women were removed from clinical trials.
Vaccinated People Are Spreading the Covid-19 Delta Variant
Kim Iverson, one of our favorite reporters, is reporting on Joe Rogan’s recent statements regarding Coronavirus. Joe Rogan made some statements that garnered some negative publicity, but Kim Iverson goes through the issues Joe brought up in his podcast and Kim shows that Joe Rogan’s comments were based on facts.
The bombshell is that new research shows that people immunized against covid-19 are carrying the same viral load in their nose as those who are unvaccinated.
Vaccinated people can still spread the virus, still, catch the virus, and still become hospitalized by the virus. Data shows you are just as likely to spread the virus if you are vaccinated, as you are if you are unvaccinated.
CDC says fully vaccinated people spread the Delta variant and should wear masks: ‘This new science is worrisome’
Kim makes the point that vaccinated individuals may be more more likely to dine out and ignore social distancing and mask guidelines, which indicates that the real super-spreaders could be the vaccinated.
The video also states that Israel is almost entirely vaccinated and yet, their numbers show that they have a higher rate of Covid-19 now than they did a year ago, as well as a higher ICU hospitalization rate. As many as 90% of their ICU patients are vaccinated. According to Worldo Meters, this checks out.
Israel is now suggesting that the Covid-19 vaccine wears off in six to eight months, and is recommending a booster shot to the population over 60.
Preliminary findings from an outbreak of Covid-19 in Provincetown, MA after the 4th of July shows that as many as 75% of infected people were vaccinated. The majority of Massachusetts is vaccinated.
Vaccine research from prior to the Coronavirus pandemic has shown that “imperfect vaccination” can result in the transmission of variant pathogens.
New data also shows that one of the most vaccine-hesitant groups is highly educated people.
After a few weeks of what seemed to be some semblance of normal, mask mandates are being reinstated while other states are now requiring people to get vaccinated in order to eat indoors, go to the gym, or do their jobs.
In the video below Kim Iverson breaks down some new data that shows how effective the Covid-19 vaccines are in reducing transmission and preventing illness.
Facebook Censors the Left and the Right
Last week Facebook attempted to censor NYU’s “Cybersecurity for Democracy” program.
The Cybersecurity for Democracy program is a team that focuses on how Facebook and other social media’s political ad programming works.
On August 3, 2021, Facebook, showed off its full 800-pound gorilla physique by attempting to crush the work of two New York University (NYU) researchers, Laura Edelson and Damon McCoy and their tool Ad Observer.
Facebook has been cracking down on censorship, with vaccine misinformation and Covid-19 misinformation. The assumption is that censorship mostly affects the right, however, the left is experiencing censorship as well. The Cybersecurity for Democracy project is a liberal project.
New York City and California Announce Vaccine mandates For State Workers
Both California and New York City will require state workers to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
In New York, by mid-September, all city workers must be vaccinated or face weekly testing for Covid-19. Around 340,000 municipal workers are expected to be affected by this bill, including firefighters, NYPD, and teachers.
For high-risk workers in health care, the mandate goes into effect on August 16th.
New York City’s mayor, when announcing the new mandate, encouraged private businesses to require employees to get vaccinated.
For New Yorkers who are vaccinated or tested negative, de Blasio announced plans for a new “NYC COVID Safe” app that would allow users to show their status. The app is set to debut on August 2 as an additional tool to paper vaccination cards and the state’s Excelsior Pass.
California is expected to enforce its new mandate next month. Los Angeles has already reinstated its indoor mask mandate for everyone regardless of vaccination status.
San Francisco has announced that its 35,000 employees will have to get vaccinated, show proof of exception, or lose their job.
California’s mandate states that 246,000 state employees and two million health care workers both in the private and public sectors will have to be vaccinated.

Health Care workers Push for Vaccine Mandates
Groups of doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals are calling for the COVID-19 vaccine to be mandated for all health care workers.
Amidst the spread of the “Delta variant” and lagging vaccination rates, health care professionals have been urging everyone to get vaccinated.
ProPublica reported only 59% of health care workers were vaccinated.
Due to the recent COVID-19 surge and the availability of safe and effective vaccines, our health care organizations and societies advocate that all health care and long-term care employers require their workers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine,
None of the COVID-19 vaccines are FDA approved. They have only been approved for emergency use. Many of the long-term side effects are not known, and the short-term side effects, so far, have not been great.
