  • COVID And Kids

    • About 1 in 5 children hospitalized with COVID were admitted to the intensive care unit. • Significantly, >90 percent of these children who were hospitalized or died from COVID weren’t vaccinated.

  • Are mRNA Vaccines Gene Therapy?

    It is biologically impossible for an mRNA vaccine to affect your cell DNA in any way. Think about it—it if could, then all of your cellular mRNA from normal genes being expressed, and the mRNA you eat, breath get from other vaccines, wounds, etc. could do the same. But it does not.

  • Is Intentional COVID Vax Disinformation Criminal?

    The Kaiser Family Foundation found that between June 2021 and March 2022, 234,000 deaths could have been prevented with COVID vaccinations. Vaccine disinformation that convinces people to avoid being immunized against the virus that causes COVID, undoubtedly caused many of these deaths.
