RFK shuts down government-sponsored mRNA
vaccine research
Posted By: DVC, 8/8/2025 10:59:19 AM
In a reversal of one of the most prominent biomedical investment trends of the past five years, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on August 5 a coordinated wind-down of its mRNA vaccine development efforts under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). To be clear, it is not a ban on mRNA, but the changes carry significant repercussions for mRNA vaccine research. The decision affects 22 federal vaccine projects and nearly $500 million in research and development contracts. It follows what HHS described as a “comprehensive review” of data from mRNA-related initiatives launched during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

One of the places I visited during a trip to the Balkans in June was a large nuclear bunker complex on the outskirts of Tiranë, the capital of Albania. It’s a massive underground structure—five stories, 106 rooms, and a two-story-high assembly hall, all covering 32,000 square feet—and was built in the 1970s during the height of the Cold War to shelter Albania’s Stalinist leader Enver Hoxha and his inner circle. Dug by hand, the bunker claimed the lives of many laborers.
One could see it as the culmination of the many smaller domed concrete bunkers scattered across Albania’s landscape, cities, and beaches.
A computer is only as good as the data you put into it. That warning from the early days of computing -- garbage in, garbage out -- has never been more relevant than in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).
AI now drives everything from search engines to image generators, yet instead of providing objective, data-backed insights, it too often parrots progressive narratives, twisting facts to match feelings.
Case in point: despite U.S. Census Bureau data indicating that over 75% of Americans identify as white, AI-generated images of “typical Americans” often show mostly non-white groups. This isn’t intelligence. It’s indoctrination, built into algorithms by ideologues in Silicon Valley.
The strange ATF case of Patrick Adamiak
15 replies
Three years ago Patrick Adamiak was an E-6 in the Navy, on his way to finishing a military career. At 28, he had a private business selling popular gun parts and replica, non-firing weapons. Today, he’s nearing his third year in a federal prison, serving a 20-year sentence.
His life fell apart when the ATF decided to take an interest in him. They raided his home and found nothing illegal, just gun parts and entirely legal, semiautomatic guns. But these were the Biden/Garland years and guns of any kind, and gun owners, were in their crosshairs.
Our South Carolina neighborhood has green cans for garbage and blue cans for recycling. All our neighbors dutifully separate their garbage. We don’t, and we don’t for a very specific reason. What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill. It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves.
When I lived in Marin County, California, we also had to separate our garbage. That wasn’t surprising, though
A Massachusetts jury found Karen Read not guilty of murder by reason of O.J. Simpson on Wednesday. If the broken taillight did not hit, you must acquit.
O.J. Simpson vowed to find the “real killers” after his acquittal. Read said outside the courtroom Wednesday, “No one has fought harder for justice for John O’Keefe than I have.”
As Simpson tormenter Norm Macdonald might joke if cancer did not murder him: What terrible luck that the person who fights the hardest for justice for you winds up murdering you.
Read stood accused of killing her Boston policeman boyfriend with her car in a 2022 snowstorm after a night of hard drinking.
End the EPA’s Endangerment Finding
2 replies
In December 2009, the Endangerment Finding was born when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under then-president Obama ruled that carbon dioxide (CO2) endangered human health and thus could be regulated as a pollutant.
The EPA’s action flowed from an expansive and unjustified decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that CO2 was a pollutant simply because it was emitted into the air, and if the agency found it endangered human health or welfare, it could regulate it.
VOX has referred to the court’s decision as the Roe v. Wade of climate policy, and VOX is right.[snip] CO2 is not listed as a pollutant or hazardous chemical under the 1970 Clean Air Act
A London academic has appealed to policymakers and military leaders to consider taking remedial action to minimise the impact of civil wars, which he warns have become a distinct possibility in Western nations.
Professor of War in the Modern World, David Betz of King’s College London, has claimed that many European countries now exhibit signs of being in a pre-civil war state. According to his research, there is a statistically significant chance of a war breaking out in the next five years in a Western state, and given Europe’s interconnected nature, it could spark similar conflicts in neighbouring nations.
After Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. booted the 17-member CDC vaccine advisory panel, the naysayers in the press clutched their pearls and howled their horrors.
Here's a typical reaction from -- where else? -- MSNBC:
Dr. Sean O’Leary, an infectious disease expert with the American Academy of Pediatrics, told NBC News that Kennedy’s evidence-free accusations are “deeply insulting to the many scientists who contribute countless hours to the process.” The doctor noted that the ACIP panel is “a model for the rest of the world,” adding that Kennedy is now responsible for “manufactured chaos.”
The left’s love of violence as strategy
7 replies
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. --Isaac Asimov
There can no longer be a shred of doubt that the Democrats, or, the left, loves and uses violence as a tactic in its war against America.
They hate Trump and his supporters precisely because they love their country and the traditional values on which this nation was founded.
Is there a person on the planet who does not realize that all the protests against ICE deportations are organized, and the participants recruited and paid?
Soros’s billions pay for all manner of these violent leftist actions, dating from Ferguson, where Michael Brown was killed
D-Day from an eyewitness
6 replies
During the first week of June every year, I remember my father, Gilbert C. Frye, and what he experienced as part of the landing on Utah Beach on D-Day. I would like to share an excerpt of his written memories, which we pressed him to create. (He never talked about his experiences.)
Going for D-Day: The weather that evening was marginal at best, foggy and drizzly, typical English soup. After a restless night spent aboard the landing craft — wherever we could find room to “bed down” with blanket, at dawn next morning
If you were to ask any Democrat about germ warfare in the Americas, you’d almost surely hear from them about the time that “Americans” tried to kill Indians with smallpox-infected blankets. After all, it’s right there in Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, the most read (and most Marxist) history book in American education. The fact that it was an officer in the British military, not the colonists, who did this once in 1763 is irrelevant. Our nation is tarred.
Given the Democrat obsession with this particular “germ warfare” (conducted at a time when germ theory didn’t exist and, moreover, it was an exercise that almost certainly failed)

territory,>br says Kyiv must be part of any negotiations 26 replies
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Saturday the planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning that any peace deal excluding Kyiv would lead to “dead solutions.”
The Trump-Putin meeting, scheduled for Friday in Alaska, is seen as a potential breakthrough.
Trump had previously agreed to meet with Putin even if the Russian leader would not meet with Zelenskyy, stoking fears Ukraine could be sidelined in efforts to stop the continent’s biggest conflict since World War II.
In a statement posted to Telegram, Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s territorial integrity, enshrined in the constitution, must be non-negotiable and emphasized that lasting peace must include Ukraine’s voice at the table.

Three people were injured when a 17-year-old gunman opened fire in a crowded Times Square early Saturday morning.
The violent gunfire erupted during a dispute between two people near the intersection of 44th Street and 7th Avenue at around 1:20 a.m., the NYPD told The Post.
An 18-year-old female and two men, 19 and 65, were injured in the shooting.
The female was grazed in the neck, while the two men suffered gunshot wounds to the legs.
All three victims were transported to Bellevue Hospital and are listed in stable condition, police said [snip}
The teen was not identified because of his age and charges had not been filed.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is once again rejecting any consideration for President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss terms for a ceasefire without his involvement. [Snip] Zelenskyy reacted, carrying the message from the global intelligence community who support the ongoing conflict,... Zelenskyy has banned opposition parties in Ukraine, taken control of media, targeted religious groups who he claims are subversive to his interests and cancelled elections in order to remain in power. Now Zelenskyy hides behind the claim of a constitution his regime modified in order to ensure he alone controls the pathways to peace.
The Week In Pictures: Green D*ldo Edition
18 replies
Some important things happened this week. President Trump brought peace to a continent or two. The long-simmering Russia Collusion Hoax unraveled further. Controversy erupted over the Democrats’ disgraceful history of gerrymandering. Israel announced its intention to complete the pacification of Gaza. The Trump administration revoked the ridiculous CO2 endangerment finding. And more.
But the nation’s meme-creators mostly focused their attention elsewhere. President Trump took a walk on a sloped roof. South Park viciously parodied Trump, JD Vance and Kristi Noem. The now indisputably-Republican Sydney Sweeney remained a popular meme subject. And, above all, persons mostly unknown debuted a new sports tradition: throwing green d*ldos on to the court at WNBA games.
The cost for Texas Democrats abandoning their seats just went up exponentially. State House Speaker Dustin Burrows has ordered that all direct deposits be stopped for any member absent for the express purpose of denying a quorum. That stops the money flow to those who fled to Illinois and other blue states to prevent the Republican super majority from redistricting the state. As RedState reported, this battle has been ongoing since early August. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) called for a special session to add up to five GOP-leaning seats to the congressional map, a move to combat gerrymandering in left-wing states
The Experts Bet Against Trump and Lost
13 replies
For years, the self-anointed experts in economics have been catastrophically, almost comically wrong about Donald Trump’s tariff strategy. They were wrong during his first term, and he is proving them wrong again in his second.
They didn’t just miss the mark; they weren’t even aiming at the right target. Now, with new data and landmark trade agreements in hand, the world has every reason to demand accountability from the academic class that branded Trump’s trade policies as reckless economic self-sabotage.
Remember the parade of Nobel laureates and Ivy League economists lining up to denounce Trump’s tariffs as a singular threat to American prosperity?

for Malibu real estate charred by January’s wildfires 12 replies
In the charred aftermath of Malibu’s January wildfires, one buyer has been moving in silence. While much of La Costa Beach remains a barren stretch of sand, a foreign investor has quietly acquired nine oceanfront lots — spending more than $65 million to secure some of the most coveted parcels along the Pacific Coast Highway, according to Realtor.com. Working through luxury agents Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of the Weston James Group, the buyer is targeting properties with at least 40 feet of frontage, betting that once the coastline is rebuilt, demand from wealthy buyers will return in force.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate alleged mortgage fraud by Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James, several outlets reported Friday.
According to the New York Post, Bondi has tapped former acting U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Ed Martin to spearhead “the prosecution of James and Schiff for potential mortgage fraud, bank fraud and wire fraud, which carry jail terms of up to 30 years.” (sonp)Martin told the outlet. “For months DOJ and the FBI have been working on these two cases, it is my job to stick the landing.”
Irony is a term whose meaning is elusive and which escapes precise definition. A lot of people think they know what it means when they actually don’t. About the best that can be said is that irony is the quality of a situation in which not only are prospects ruined and even reversed, but done so resoundingly – irony not only wrecks your plans, but does so while turning you into an object lesson.
Irony occurs when the postman rings twice for the drifter Frank Chambers, who is arrested, tried, and executed not for the murder he unquestionably committed, but for the accidental death over which he had no responsibility.
"You don’t need a group that wraps itself in verses while stabbing your future.” What a line that truly defines the nature of what the Muslim Brotherhood is all about. This eloquent spokesman does not defend the norms of many Islamic countries. He is proud to say that the UAE is the exception to the rule, the country with a bright present and future due to their rejection of the Muslim Brotherhood But it is more than just the UAE (or Bahrain). There are many millions of people in the Middle East who are not interested in a radical Islamic lifestyle. They are not necessarily very Western either.
In 2013, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife took a seemingly routine trip to Turkey and Azerbaijan, funded by an obscure Houston-based nonprofit.
What followed, federal prosecutors now allege, was a years-long scheme involving foreign influence, money laundering, and one of the most serious indictments ever brought against a sitting member of Congress.
According to a federal indictment unsealed last week, Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and Mexico’s Banco Azteca.
Prosecutors allege that Cuellar, a Democrat from Laredo, Texas,
When I showed up for Army Basic Training at Ft Dix, New Jersey, on a spring morning in the early '80s, I had a couple of advantages over a lot of the other recruits, and I knew it. I was a big, tough kid from a rural background, had self-confidence to spare, and wasn't afraid of anything. Then I encountered Army drill sergeants, and a tactic that we later learned was called the "shark attack." (Snip) Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is now bringing that and other classic practices back - he's going to let drill sergeants be drill sergeants again,

This is a big deal. The drug mafia had decided that mRNA tech would be THE method for all future "vaccines". The problem is that mRNA only shows the immune system a tiny, single piece of the exterior proteins of a virus. If that single protein is slightly changed, the immune system is blind to the virus. Very shoddy, short lived "immunity" as the virus mutates continuously.
