Good morning, dear readers, it’s Wednesday! Your excellent roundup today includes: pharma ‘limited hangout’ study inadvertently confirms ocean of jab injuries; Texas’s terrific Attorney General takes aim at shady NGO’s; Ukraine news keeps getting worse and worse; and Alabama’s Supreme Court drops a giant life bomb on confused liberals.

🗞💬 WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY 💬🗞

💉 Remarkably, a large covid vaccine safety study dropped last week finding some problems with the jabs, and got my immediate attention by breaking through into corporate media. Why cover this one? The study, stuffed with 35 authors, was titled, “COVID-19 vaccines and adverse events of special interest: A multinational Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) cohort study of 99 million vaccinated individuals.” The Hill’s article covering the study published two days ago under the headline, “Largest multicountry COVID study links vaccines to potential adverse effects.”

Linking vaccines to potential adverse effects used to get people canceled. So what on Earth is going on?

Our first clue lies in the Hill article’s revealing final paragraph (which should have been the first):

Several of the researchers also reported having relationships or having previously received payments from biopharmaceutical companies Pfizer, Gilead Sciences, AbbVie, and GlaxoSmithKline.

Pharma researchers! It got even more interesting when the study itself disclosed it was funded by the CDC, the New Zealand Ministry of Health, and the Canadian Institutes of Health. It was a “public/private” joint effort between big pharma and the most jab-invested big government agencies in the world. But it still found problems. Could this be honest science, at long last? Or was it something else?

It was high-level gaslighting combined with a limited hangout.

First of all, a point missed by most corporate media, probably intentionally, was the researchers cherry-picked only thirteen categories of adverse events, allowing lying corporate media outlets to mislead readers by generically claiming “the researchers looked for adverse events” as if they looked for any and all safety signals. They didn’t. They only looked for their carefully-curated list of injury types. Next, the researchers muted their findings with hand-waving about covid causing the same adverse events equally or more often than the jabs, so the risk/benefit analysis still favors the shots. (It doesn’t.)

The researchers admitted finding much higher risks of neurological, cardiovascular, and blood disorder complications than they expected. True, they found serious adverse events to be ‘rare’ and — hallelujah for profits — they found them mostly occurring in the already-withdrawn vaccine types like J&J and AstraZeneca and, fortunately, not so much in the fat cash cows, Pfizer and Moderna (whew).

But despite all that, in spite of all the hand-waving about risks and benefits, and despite minimizing the injuries as ‘rare’, the study ultimately disclosed broad increases in jabbed risk between +20% to +70% across 40 or more causes of death. The risks and benefits comparing covid infection versus the shots might have evened out when comparing two 85-year-olds with diabetes and hypertension. But there is no rational risk comparison for healthy or working-age people, who were never at any enhanced risk of serious complications from covid, and as for the young, they should have been nowhere near the shots.

In other words, for healthy, working-age, and young people, the shots are all risk and no benefit.

Given the study’s “reassuring but informing” narrative framing and the wide coverage by corporate media, this looks like a limited hangout. They are — just barely — admitting to a wide variety of disabling, not-mild, permanent side effects, far beyond simple allergic reactions, injection site pain, and temporary flu-like symptoms.

It’s kind of like when finding two chocolate chips between your eight-year-old’s bedsheets, and under intense questioning the child blurts out that, okay, he did break the rules — only a little! — and stole a teeny-tiny part off an already-broken cookie when nobody was looking, but he definitely wasn’t the one who cleaned out the jar. No way.

It’s just a teeny-tiny enhanced risk of death or permanent disability, but not the whole excess deaths jar. That wasn’t us.

In other words, the injuries are getting impossible to deny, and they quickly needed to gaslight everybody. So they bought themselves a nice little study, to put some stuffing in their argument that their jab program maybe wasn’t perfect, but it also wasn’t a catastrophic disaster either. So.

🔥 Just give me ten more Attorneys General like Ken Paxton, and I’ll turn this whole thing around. Fox News ran an exciting and encouraging story yesterday headlined, “Texas AG Paxton sues NGO aiding migrants, accuses it of encouraging illegal immigration.” Finally.

The so-called “Annunciation House” is a shady migrant-assistance NGO claiming to follow a poorly-defined ideology called “Catholic social justice.” I’ll go out on a limb and guess that “Catholic social justice” looks exactly the same as regular social justice.  You can search the group’s shake-and-bake website all you want, but you won’t find the name of a single real person anywhere, which is the very first red flag that a “charity” is actually a front for something illegal, unethical, or at least shameful.

Legit charities are proudly run by people, and they don’t hide. Instead, they proudly name their directors, boards, volunteers, and major donors. Whereas shady front groups usually have polished-up websites with zero personally-identifying information on them. They are ashamed, or they should be.

Yesterday, Attorney General Paxton sued the so-called charity for human trafficking conspiracy. He promptly demanded documents, asked the court to revoke Annunciation’s state charter, and asked for a receiver to liquidate its assets. And what do you know, a bunch of lawyers and PR people suddenly popped up defending the ‘volunteer’ group.

One wonders how the hardworking, religious-minded Annunciation volunteers knew all these legal and marketing professionals ready to jump in at a moment’s notice. But I digress.

In a statement about Paxton’s suit on its website, Annunciation House gamely vowed it would resist turning over documents! Never! And it promised a press conference on Friday. And, in yet another red flag, it bragged it "does its work of accompaniment out of the Gospel mandate to welcome the stranger."  

Haha, “mandate.” Marxists sure love that word, don’t they?

That phrase, the Gospel mandate to welcome the stranger, is all over Annunciation’s website. But you know what isn’t all over the “Catholic” charity’s website? Any Bible verses or even any Bible citations. It’s almost like the person who created the website knows nothing at all about the Bible except the word “Gospel.”

They were hardly even trying. Chalk up another red flag this NGO is really a shady front group and not a legitimate Christian enterprise.

Paxton issued his own statement, deploying the catchy phrase ‘astonishing horrors’ to describe the so-called charity group’s unethical and illegal activities:

"The chaos at the southern border has created an environment where NGOs, funded with taxpayer money from the Biden Administration, facilitate astonishing horrors including human smuggling," Paxton said in a statement. "While the federal government perpetuates the lawlessness destroying this country, my office works day in and day out to hold these organizations responsible for worsening illegal immigration."

Music to my ears. This has been a long time coming. The Biden Administration is dumping cash on all these NGO’s to do things that would be illegal for Biden to do. It’s a similar tactic to how the feds bribed and cajoled the social media companies to censor Americans, because it was illegal and unconstitutional to do it directly.

Hopefully Paxton’s lawsuit will set an example for other states to follow. Let’s drag more of these cockroaches out into the harsh daylight and find out what — and who — we are really dealing with.

🔥  The news out of Avdiivka continued worsening yesterday, and corporate media is circling the wagons, as illustrated by this shocking CNN headline:

New information emerging from relatives of dead and injured Ukrainian soldiers, plus reports from Russia’s ministry of defense, painted an even worse picture of the fall of Avdiivka than originally thought. For one thing, it looks like Ukraine waited to order its dying soldiers to withdraw until after most units lost cohesion and began to flee anyway. The withdrawal order was just political cover.

And when the withdrawal order did come through, the remaining soldiers were ordered to abandon their injured fellows, creating a chance for the media to attempt to frame a narrative around Russian maltreatment of captured Ukrainians rather than the catastrophic failure of Ukrainian command.

Zelensky, for his part, blamed the loss of the key fortress city on Republicans, for delaying his sweet, sweet American payola.  In more bad news for Ukraine, its champion of democracy also issued a new declaration of martial law, which canceled next month’s presidential elections, and keeps the former comedian in undemocratic power through executive fiat until he says different.

Apparently, just now is an inconvenient time for Zelensky to run for re-election. But he’s not a dictator like Putin. No, never. Criticizing Zelensky is like criticizing Democracy™ itself.

🔥 Yesterday the Washington Post ran a surprising and uplifting story headlined, “Shock, anger, confusion grip Alabama after court ruling on embryos.” Well, WaPo obviously wasn’t uplifted by the story, but many other folks were.

The lawsuit involved an accident at an IVF clinic where workers were admittedly negligent and several frozen embryos were accidentally killed by being dropped on the floor. The parents of the frozen embryos wished to sue the clinic under the state’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act, which expressly included “all children, born and unborn, without limitation.”

Reversing the state’s court of appeals, Alabama’s Supreme Court found that the Act’s broad definition did allow the lawsuit — since an embryo is an unborn child, calling them “extrauterine children.” Chief Justice Tom Parker wrote in his concurring opinion, “The People of Alabama have declared the public policy of this State to be that unborn human life is sacred. We believe that each human being, from the moment of conception, is made in the image of God, created by Him to reflect His likeness.”

My goodness. You don’t expect to see that kind of religious talk in State Supreme Court decisions lately. One hopes it may be a trend.

Groups opposing the parents’ right to sue argued that, if embryos are legally designated unborn children, it would dramatically increase IVF’s cost and legal risk, and would cause great inconvenience and extra expense to parents who got divorced leaving their embryos unwanted. But utilitarian arguments over cost and convenience are completely irrelevant to the philosophical and spiritual question of whether or not an embryo is an unborn child.

In other words, the expense, or lack of expense, has nothing at all to do with whether or not a frozen embryo is a baby with its own unique DNA. You can argue that an embryo isn’t human as much as you like, but you can’t use cost as the reason. Human beings are human regardless of whether they are cheap or expensive, convenient or inconvenient.

In my ceaseless study of daily news, I sometimes catch glimpses of real revival in this country. I can also sometimes see it in the pews and in the bursting budgets where I attend church. This decision — unappealable now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned — and the Chief Judge’s bold, courageous language, is another peek.

What about you? Do you see any signs of revival?

Have a wonderful Wednesday! I’ll catch you tomorrow for another reviving Coffee & Covid roundup, where there are lots of life signs.
