  • Vaccines are 'safe and effective' became a mantra long before covid hit. So much so, that many people trust that vaccines protect them and keep their children safe. Now, a new paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, with authors including one of the giants in vaccine development, Dr Stanley Plotkin, reveals that the supposed science backing up such statements is extremely limited, supporting the warnings of many that such studies aren’t being done or are fatally flawed. Dr James Lyons-Weiler critiques the paper and Aaron Siri questions the motives behind the publication of the study, suggesting that by admitting the truth it can then be twisted in such a way as to suit their ongoing agenda
  • SpaceX has been given the green light to continue its launch of 10’s of thousands of satellites into the night sky by a panel of judges in the US after the International Dark Sky Association appealed the decision by the Federal Communications Commission to grant SpaceX a license to launch up to 30,000 satellites without undertaking an environmental review. The court ruled throwing thousands of satellites into space has no significant effect on the human environment. Arthur Firstenberg has the full story
  • Peter Doshi, senior editor of the BMJ, shares evidence, of what is widely known, that employees leaving the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for industry jobs are still allowed to influence agency policy. When questioned, the ethics team said that former employees can ‘work behind the scenes’ but they’re not allowed to lobby directly, which is tantamount to owning up to the revolving door between industry and regulators
  • The impact of artificial sweeteners on the environment is rarely considered. However, new research published in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment investigates how the commonly used sugar alternative, sucralose, could negatively impact freshwater ecosystems by effectively starving cyanobacteria and microscopic algae, which help to produce oxygen, when they mistakenly consume sucralose in place of their normal nutrients
  • Reducing consumption of processed meat in the US could reduce the level of chronic disease in the US. A new modelling study published in The Lancet Planetary Health looked at the impact on health of both unprocessed red meat and processed meat concluding there was little evidence to support reduced consumption of unprocessed red meat. The authors recommend the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, due to be updated in 2025, should specifically recommend limiting consumption of processed meats due its negative impacts on health
  • Making small changes to teenagers’ lifestyle such as better sleep, increased vegetable and fruit intake and moving more, significantly improves their mental health. However, increased consumption of junk food, screen time, alcohol and tobacco use (vaping wasn’t considered) worsened their mental health according to new research following Australian teenagers published in the International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction.

  • Lab grown meat is coming to your supermarket. Meatly has become the first European company to receive approval to sell lab-grown meat in pet food, after UK regulatory agencies gave it formal approval. The process to desensitise us to its existence and get it into the human food chain has begun as the UK Food Standards Agency said it is trying to find a way to fast track the approval of lab-grown meat for human consumption. Beware the label that states 'Real Meat, Made Better' on the same face as the words 'Cultivated Chicken'.

  • Across the world, Big Biotech is pushing regulators to remove regulations that protect both the environment and humans from untested genetically modified organisms. In many cases the might and money of the big biotech companies is winning out, however some countries are resisting to stand firm. GM Watch has a round up of world news showing the level of pushback against GM tech and synbio, techno foods
  • The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is supporting moves to deregulate gene edited organisms (new genomic techniques - NGTs or precision bred organisms - PBOs) with publication of the EFSA GMO Panel’s conclusion that gene edited plants are the same as plants that spontaneously mutate
  • Researchers are developing a system that doses honey bees and bumblebees with bio-control powders using dispensers placed at the entrance to their hives as part of, what's being labelled, precision agriculture. As the bees visit flowers the powder is deposited in the flowers where it targets the 'pests', such as fungus. It's said it will reduce the amount of pesticides used to protect insect numbers, which have declined rapidly in recent decades. However, there’s a risk that toxic products labelled as biocontrols could also make their way onto the market as part of the new systems
  • Ninety four percent of 55 water samples, from 11 EU countries, tested by PAN Europe, have been found to contain forever chemicals. The organisation is calling for an immediate ban on PFAS containing pesticides and F-gases (fluorinated gases).

  • The importance of healthy soil to the environment is highlighted in a new article in Advances in Agronomy, from Australian researchers. The authors hope to increase awareness of the importance of good soil biology in farming systems to improve the health of both the crops being grown and the surrounding environment.

ANH-USA Update

  • Are you ready for the coming of a new form of authoritarian rule? One that doesn’t rely on a single leader, brute force, over oppression or violence. Rather it uses powerful psychological techniques to control populations in far more subtle and insidious ways. Covid provided a fast track to suppressing populations and testing out just how far authorities can go. Now’s the time for those who value their freedom and health sovereignty to unite against the global elites and reject their ‘New Normal'. Read more…
  • The FDA’s new Dietary Ingredient (NDI) guidance could put probiotics on the chopping block if fully implemented. Under the new guidance many probiotic products could end up being eliminated from the market due to new requirements requiring NDI notifications.

  • As pandemic accord negotiations spark back into life this week, a date in December has been pencilled in for a special session of the World Health Assembly to further consider adopting an agreement
  • A new paper explores the work of Charles Maclean in the 1800s, who found that quarantines (aka lockdowns) never work and rather than reducing disease risk they increase disease spread and death. Maclean concluded that the use of quarantine measures should be abolished and that public heath authorities should stick to the truth, rather than lying to panic the public into following destructive remedies to counter disease spread
  • Steve Kirsch has analysed record level Czech data, obtained by a Freedom of Information request, which shows people who received Moderna covid shots were twice as likely to die following vaccination than those that were given a Pfizer jab. Jessica Rose discusses the data and what it means
  • Senator Ron Johnson has shared a clip of Dr Robert Redfield on X (Twitter), speaking in front of a congressional hearing, admitting the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was aware that mRNA in covid shots spreads through the body and doesn’t stay in the arm as was originally stated, in 2021. He also said that the ‘greatest mistake’ the authorities made was to mandate covid shots, rather than allowing people to make a personal choice
  • Data obtained via freedom of information requests, reveals a significant increase in ambulance call outs in Scotland for heart related incidents, particularly in those under the age of 40
  • A three-year battle has come to end for a mother who stood up against the authorities, to protect the health of her severely disabled son after they decided he should be covid vaccinated even though he’d had covid. Because ‘Tom’ is over the age of 18 his mother is no longer able to advocate for him. When she objected to him being vaccinated due him having a rare heart condition she had to take to the courts to prevent Tom from being forcibly removed from their home to be jabbed. The court has now ruled vaccination is no longer required due to the reduced risks of covid
  • In Spring 2021, 26 year old Jack Hurn was covid vaccinated with the Astrazeneca covid jab. Shortly after he died due to blood clots in his brain. Three years later a medical practice has accepted Jack wasn’t given the correct information about the risks of the vaccine to allow him to make a properly informed decision, even though the Astrazeneca jabs were no longer recommended for anyone under the age of 30
  • An Australian Senate Commission is cherry picking which submissions made to the Inquiry into excess mortality to publish, resulting in many people’s submissions only being accepted as correspondence and not being published for all to access
  • Covid jabs are 200 times more likely to cause blood clots in the brain than all other previous vaccines according a recent preprint study. The Defender has more
  • The EU general court has said the European Commission should give full access to information about covid vaccine purchase agreements with pharmaceutical companies.
