The Food and Drug Administration approved biotechnology company AquaBounty’s application to make and sell genetically engineered salmon in 2015, and now a federal judge is on the verge of ordering the government agency to take another look. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria is presiding over a case filed by the Center for Food Safety against the salmon’s approval, and he expressed concerns on Tuesday that the FDA’s approval of the salmon could inspire AquaBounty to expand their AquaAdvantage salmon program without fully considering the ecological impacts of it.

I’m not saying it opens the floodgates or sets the standards, but perhaps it pushes us in a direction and future agency action will likely be informed by this agency action…Shouldn’t the FDA in this case have considered the fact that this was the first such facility and future decisions would be building on this facility?”

Judge Vince Chhabria

The AquaAdvantage salmon is the first genetically engineered food animal that the FDA has approved for raising and selling. The fish is a genetic mix of an ocean pout and Pacific Chinook salmon, a combination that leads to higher growth hormone in the blood. The company plans to breed the salmon at a hatchery on Prince Edward Island in Canada before moving the eggs to their facility in Indiana.

When the agency completed their assessment of the salmon, they listed the salmon as having “no significant impact,” and Department of Justice attorney Marissa Piropato said that…

AquaBounty has no guarantee that the FDA is going to accept whatever comes down the pike…”

Environmental groups have a different take on the approval and current impact status of the modified salmon that echoed Judge Chhabria sentiments. The treatment and regulation of the AquaBounty salmon sets the precedent for the future of gentically engineered food animals.

Whatever they do here is going to inform the approval for those other applications and is going to inform what the FDA does for all GE animals going forward…If the analysis they are doing here is inadequate that means it’s never going to be enough. It’s not going to get better.”

The CDC has reported that 94% of deaths marked COVID-19 have other causes. On average, in the cases where COVID-19 was not the sole cause of death, 2.6 additional causes for death were reported.

It is very likely that in many of these cases COVID-19 was not the primary cause of death. In many cases, COVID-19 can exacerbate or worsen pre-existing health conditions. The total death count for COVID-19 is not the number of people who died because of COVID-19, but rather the number of people who tested positive for COVID-19 at the time of death.

Dr. Brown added that CDC and WHO documents show that the case fatality rate for influenza was similar to the coronavirus, implying that the lockdowns were pointless. His paper questions why the 2017-2018 influenza season in the United States did not “receive the same intensive media coverage as COVID-19.”

Many have accused both the WHO and the CDC of inflating numbers to make the pandemic appear worse than it actually is, with some saying the practice is for the sake of gaining control over the population. Public health and government officials have also come out and stated that the mortality rate for COVID-19 is actually much lower than numbers suggest.

On August 22nd the National Football League (NFL) announced that COVID-19 testing indicated 77 positive results from 11 teams. While this was big news in the mainstream media there were clues that the testing may have shown some false positives.

The league asked the New Jersey lab BioReference to investigate the results. They were re-examined and all of the test results came back negative. In other words, all 77 were false positives.

Jon R. Cohen, M.D., the Executive Chairman of BioReference Laboratories, testing partner of the NFL, released a statement explaining that these false-positives were due to an isolated contamination in the New Jersey lab.

“On August 22, BioReference Laboratories reported an elevated number of positive COVID-19 PCR test results for NFL players and personnel at multiple clubs. The NFL immediately took necessary actions to ensure the safety of the players and personnel. Our investigation indicated that these were most likely false positive results, caused by an isolated contamination during test preparation in the New Jersey laboratory. Reagents, analyzers and staff were all ruled out as possible causes and subsequent testing has indicated that the issue has been resolved. All individuals impacted have been confirmed negative and informed.”

The Minnesota Vikings reported twelve positives, the New York Jets reported ten, and the Chicago Bears reported nine.

The CDC has promoted the importance of the flu vaccine for years as the most effective way to prevent influenza. Through the 2019-2020 flu season, the CDC estimated there would be 24,000-59,000 flu deaths while estimating that 29,000-59,000 people had already died of the flu by mid-march.

By May, 65,000 people had died of COVID-19 in the U.S. These numbers are seemingly in line with flu deaths for the 2019-2020 flu season. However, this is not an accurate comparison because flu deaths are supposed to be estimated while coronavirus deaths are supposed to be counted. In reality, the counted flu deaths for the 2018-2019 flu season were between 3,448 and 15,620. Research shows the CDC’s flu death count is six times higher than the actual death count.

If official documents are only ‘allowed’ to count one cause of death, that means the yearly total of deaths in the United States needs to add up to 2.5 million. In that regime, medical examiners would have to choose between causes of death … For those dying of flu after a three-year battle with cancer? I’d give cancer the credit.

Flu Deaths Walked Back From Tens of Thousands to Hundreds

More than 80% of respiratory infections during flu season are actually caused by flu-like illnesses, not type A or B influenza. The flu vaccine does nothing to prevent these infections. Of course, the flu vaccine doesn’t do much to prevent the flu either. Data from the CDC showed that in the 2018-2019 flu season the flu vaccine was only 36% effective. It has also been shown that the flu vaccine is not effective for those over the age of 65 who are most likely to die of the flu.

Death rates for both the flu and coronavirus have been on the decline for the last 12 weeks in a row.

With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, major pharmaceutical companies have been working tirelessly to create a vaccine in record time. With the media narrative being that a vaccine is our only hope for life returning to normal, it seems most people are pinning their hopes on a vaccine. Regardless of where you stand on the vaccine issue (pro vs anti), the reality is that vaccines do pose risk. While the obvious task is to develop a shot that immunizes against a disease the bigger challenge is to ensure that such a shot doesn’t injure people.

Researchers from Oxford and the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca released information from their phase 1/2 trial that shows their vaccine may produce immunity without causing “serious harm”.

While the people in the study may not have suffered “serious harm” from the coronavirus vaccine experiments, the side effects they did suffer were substantial and indicative of a vaccine that could cause massive injury and death on a larger scale.

If journalists don’t start asking tougher questions, this will become the perfect setup for anti-vaccine messaging: Here’s what they forgot to tell you about the risks …

Covid-19 Vaccines With ‘Minor Side Effects’ Could Still Be Pretty Bad

In one “advanced, phase III trial,” people were given acetaminophen every 6 hours for 24 hours after receiving the vaccine to help curb side effects.

Within a group of people that did not receive acetaminophen, one-third of people reported moderate or severe chills, headache, fatigue, feverishness, or general malaise. Around 25% of people experienced moderate or severe muscle aches. Nearly 10% of people had a fever higher than 100 degrees.

In another trial, by the time both doses of the vaccine were administered, every person had signs of headaches, chills or fatigue, with 80% of people reporting symptoms bad enough to keep them from normal everyday activities.

The people who participate in these vaccine trials have to be healthy adults between the ages of 18-55, and not have allergies made worse by acetaminophen. It is likely that someone with unknown and/or underlying health problems could have a much more adverse reaction to a coronavirus vaccine.

Mexico has joined the growing list of 21 countries that have banned or restricted glyphosate. Mexico’s Environment Ministry is known as the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). They announced that glyphosate-based herbicides must be phased out by 2024 for the protection of human health and the environment.

In the United States, Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide. EWG says more than 250 million tons are used on American farmland each year.

Given the scientific evidence of glyphosate toxicity, demonstrating the impacts on human health and the environment, the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) has taken important steps to gradually reduce the use of this chemical until it achieves a total ban in 2024.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, there have been inconsistencies in the reporting of COVID-19 cases. Hospitals have been incentivized to mark deaths as COVID deaths, even in cases where it may not be the primary cause of death. Hospitals were paid $13,000 per person who was admitted as a COVID case, and another $39,000 for every patient put on a ventilator.

Minnesota state senator and family physician, Scott Jenson, has critiqued the CDC’s prevention guidelines on how doctors are certifying COVID-19 deaths on death certificates. He pointed out that the current system could easily cause the disease to appear deadlier than it actually is.

“In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID cannot be made but is suspected or likely (e.g. the circumstances are compelling with a reasonable degree of certainty) it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as ‘probable’ or ‘presumed.'”

CDC Admits Hospital Incentives Drove Up COVID-19 Deaths

Under the current CDC guidelines, a patient who is hit by a bus, and then tests positive for COVID-19, would be marked as a COVID death, despite injuries from the bus accident.

In Florida, a man died in a motorcycle accident, tested positive for COVID-19, and was then marked down as a COVID death. The same thing was seen in the case of a man who died of a gunshot wound, and a man who died of Parkinson’s disease.

The media consistently reports the number of positive test results instead of actual case numbers, making the virus seem much more deadly than it actually is. A positive coronavirus test does not mean that you have the disease of COVID-19, it generally means you are infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. To have a case of COVID-19, one needs to show symptoms of the virus. A case of COVID-19 and a positive coronavirus test result are not the same thing.

CDC director, Robert Redfield has admitted that the financial policies put in place could have resulted in elevated hospitalization rates and death toll statistics. Brett Grior with the U.S Health and Human Services Department has also said he believes that financial incentivization could have resulted in higher COVID-19 death rates.

This is not to say that COVID-19 is all a big hoax. COVID-19 is very much real and can be dangerous to some people. If you’re worried about COVID-19, your primary focus should be living a healthy lifestyle that promotes a healthy gut. A healthy gut is the best way to prevent all diseases.
