29,031 Deaths, 240,022 Serious Injuries Reported to VAERS, as CDC Admits Not Monitoring System for Safety Signals

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released new data showing a total of 1,307,928 reports of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccines were submitted between Dec. 14, 2020, and June 17, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). That’s an increase of 6,572 adverse events over the previous week.

VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.

The data included a total of 29,031 reports of deaths — an increase of 172 over the previous week — and 240,022 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 1,610 compared with the previous week.

Of the 29,031 reported deaths, 18,814 cases are attributed to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, 7,627 cases to Moderna and 2,525 cases to Johnson & Johnson (J&J).

Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 835,063 adverse events, including 13,388 deaths and 84,542 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and June 17, 2022.

Foreign reports are reports foreign subsidiaries send to U.S. vaccine manufacturers. Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, if a manufacturer is notified of a foreign case report that describes an event that is both serious and does not appear on the product’s labeling, the manufacturer is required to submit the report to VAERS.

Of the 13,388 U.S. deaths reported as of June 17, 16% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 20% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 59% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

In the U.S., 592 million COVID-19 vaccine doses had been administered as of June 16, including 349 million doses of Pfizer, 223 million doses of Moderna and 19 million doses of Johnson & Johnson (J&J).

Every Friday, VAERS publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.

Historically, VAERS has been shown to report only 1% of actual vaccine adverse events.

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to June 17, 2022, for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds show:

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to June 17, 2022, for 5- to 11-year-olds show:

  • 11,534 adverse events, including 298 rated as serious and 6 reported deaths.

The most recent reported death (VAERS I.D. 2315376) occurred in a 9-year-old female from Florida who died 172 days after receiving Pfizer’s vaccine. She was diagnosed with COVID-19 on May 28, 2022, and treated with various drugs, including Remdesivir. She was found unresponsive at home on June 3, and was declared brain dead.

The Defender has noticed over previous weeks that reports of myocarditis and pericarditis have been removed by the CDC from the VAERS system in this age group. No explanation was provided.

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to June 17, 2022, for 12- to 17-year-olds show:

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to June 17, 2022, for all age groups combined, show:

CDC advisors recommend Moderna shot for children ages 6 through 17 

The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel unanimously voted 15 to 0 to recommend two doses of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6 through 17 years old.

Members of the panel acknowledged there is a risk of heart inflammation associated with both mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, but they said a follow-up survey suggests most fully recover.

Not everyone agrees, including University of British Columbia professor Dr. Steven Pelech, who last year criticized health agencies’ relaxed attitude about myocarditis as misleading.

“Contrary to what a number of people have said, there is no such thing as ‘mild myocarditis,’” Pelech said.

Pelech explained that once the heart muscle cells are killed, “they can never be replaced by new muscle cells, but only by scar tissue.” This can lead to “a greater chance of heart attack and other problems later in life.”

The FDA last week authorized Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in the child and adolescent age group.

Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the H1N1 Vaccine Task Force at the CDC, said the risk of myocarditis “may be higher” with the Moderna vaccine compared to Pfizer, but there are limitations to what scientists know about the condition in this age group.

Shimabukuro said most adverse events reported following vaccination are “mild and transient events like injection site or systemic reactions,” and the CDC would continue to monitor the safety of COVID-9 vaccines.

CDC admits it never monitored VAERS for COVID vaccine safety signals

In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by Children’s Health Defense (CHD), the CDC last week admitted it never analyzed VAERS for safety signals for COVID-19 vaccines.

The CDC is supposed to mine VAERS data for safety signals by calculating what are known as proportional reporting ratios (PRRs).

This is a method of comparing the proportion of different types of adverse events reported for a new vaccine to the proportion of those events reported for an older, established vaccine.

If the new vaccine shows a significantly higher reporting rate of a particular adverse event relative to the old one, it counts as a safety signal that should then trigger a more thorough investigation.

According to a briefing document, the CDC “will perform PRR data mining on a weekly basis or as needed.”

Yet in its response to CHD’s FOIA request, the agency wrote, “no PRRs were conducted by CDC” and data mining is “outside of the agency’s purview.” The agency suggested contacting the FDA, which was supposed to perform a different type of data mining, according to the briefing document.

Reports of chickenpox, shingles following COVID-19 vaccines on the rise

Doctors and scientists are seeing an increase in the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, following COVID-19 vaccines, The Epoch Times reported.

After a person gets chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in the nervous system for life and can be reactivated, showing up as shingles, or herpes zoster, later in life.

Federal health officials said there’s no correlation between COVID-19 vaccines and shingles, but numerous studies show a higher incidence of shingles in people who received the vaccine.

The FDA claims it has not detected any safety signals regarding shingles following approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines. The CDC alleges “there is no current connection” between COVID-19 vaccines and the reactivation of the chickenpox virus.

Scott Pauley, CDC spokesperson, said any adverse reactions experienced after receiving the shot are “temporary and a positive sign that the vaccine is working.”

Pfizer, Moderna COVID vaccines may increase risk of infection

A new peer-reviewed study shows two doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine yield negative protection against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, while previous infection without vaccination offers about 50% immunity.

The findings, published June 15 in the New England Journal of Medicine, analyzed information from more than 100,000 Omicron-infected and non-infected residents in Qatar from Dec. 23, 2021, through Feb. 21, 2022.

Researchers found those who had a prior infection but had not been vaccinated had 46.1% and 50% immunity against the BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron subvariants more than 300 days after the previous infection.

However, individuals who received two doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, but were not previously infected, had negative immunity against the subvariants — indicating an increased risk of infection compared to someone without prior infection and vaccination.

Six months after the second dose of Pfizer, immunity against any Omicron infection dropped to -3.4% below an average person without infection and vaccination, which as a control, was set at 0.

For two doses of Moderna, immunity against any Omicron infection dropped to -10.3% about six months after the last dose.

Pfizer COVD-19 vaccine reduces sperm count, study shows

A peer-reviewed study published June 17 in the journal Andrology shows Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine reduced sperm concentration after the second dose.

In a retrospective longitudinal multicenter comparison study, researchers analyzed 220 semen samples of 37 donors from sperm banks in Israel.

The study participants received two doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, were negative for SARS-CoV-2 and did not have COVID-19 symptoms.

The changes in sperm concentration, semen volume, sperm motility and total motility count after the second dose were assessed at various study phases.

The authors concluded the negative effect of the Pfizer vaccine on sperm quality was temporary. Yet, the actual data calculating the average of values showed sperm counts had not returned to normal after five months, the end of the monitoring period.

Children’s Health Defense asks anyone who has experienced an adverse reaction, to any vaccine, to file a report following these three steps.

45-Year-Old Canadian Paralyzed After Pfizer Shot Waiting for Government to Respond

More than 11 months after becoming paralyzed from the waist down 12 days after getting his second dose of a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Julian Scholefield is waiting for the Canadian government’s decision on his request for compensation.

“I’m paralyzed now, not because of a reckless accident, but because I followed the guidelines of our government, and so that validation and recognition is definitely something that would mean a lot to me,” Scholefield told CBC News.

Scholefield, a 45-year-old in British Columbia, was diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), a rare neurological disorder that causes inflammation of the brain and spinal cord that damages myelin — the protective covering of nerve fibers.

“My life has become a daily struggle and my wife and children must provide care and assistance for me,” Scholefield said.

According to the Canadian government, there have been 46,149 reports of adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines. Only a handful of Canadians who reported being injured have received compensation.

‘Within a two-hour period, I ended up paralyzed’

Scholefield first noticed a tingling sensation in his leg on July 25, 2021, while he and his family were boating on Okanagan Lake.

“Rather than getting better, it actually progressed worse and went from being just in the left leg to the right leg as well,” Scholefield told CBC News on June 22.

“Within a two-hour period, I ended up paralyzed from really the mid-section down.”

A neurologist later diagnosed him with a myelitic form of ADEM, which can lead to paralysis, vision loss and difficulty coordinating voluntary muscle movements, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The condition is known to sometimes occur upon COVID-19 vaccination, according to this 2021 case report on an unidentified 56-year-old female patient who developed the condition two weeks after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.

In April 2021, a healthy 33-year-old woman in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, who asked to remain anonymous, experienced paralysis 12 hours after getting her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, and a 54-year-old Kansas man in May 2021 reported temporary paralysis after receiving a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

Ignored and ‘swept under the rug’

Scholefield told CBC News provincial and federal government officials have not responded to his emails and letters explaining his case.

“To be ignored and feel like you are swept under the rug is really hard, especially after going through something like this,” he said.

“That’s why I think it is [important] to get recognized by the Vaccine Injury Support Program [VISP] that this happened, and this happened to me because of the vaccine,” he said.

In October 2021, Scholefield submitted a claim to the VISP, the Canadian government’s vaccine injury compensation program.

He said he is on medical leave from work to concentrate on his recovery, which currently involves chemotherapy treatments aimed at resetting his immune system, and acupuncture and treatments from a naturopath and osteopath.

He said his family has incurred significant expenses since the injury, including the cost of his wheelchair and the installation of an elevator in his home so he can get from his ground floor entrance to his living space and bedroom.

1 of 774 in Canada waiting to receive compensation for COVID-19 vaccine injury

Scholefield is one of 774 people who have filed a claim to the VISP.

So far, the VISP medical review board has approved eight claims as having a probable link between a serious and permanent injury and a vaccine, including the case of a 40-year-old man diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome who was awarded financial compensation last month for suffering and loss of employment income.

The Public Health Agency of Canada established VISP in July 2021 to provide financial support to people found to have experienced a serious and permanent injury as a result of receiving a Health Canada-authorized vaccine.

Prior to July 2021, the Canadian government was the only G7 country that did not have a vaccine injury compensation program.

More than 11.9 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in British Columbia as of June 21, according to the Canadian government’s COVID-19 Tracker.

Neurological side effects of COVID vaccinations a ‘safety concern’

The author of a January 2022 study investigating neurological side effects of COVID-19 vaccinations concluded concerns about the safety of the vaccines are “backed by an increasing number of studies reporting neurological side effects.”

The researcher, Dr. Joself Finsterer, M.D. Ph.D., professor of clinical neurosciences and preventative medicine at Danube University Krems in Austria, performed an online search using PubMed and Google Scholar databases for scientific studies using the terms “vaccination”, “SARS-CoV-2,” “anti-covid vaccination” and “immunization” in combination with the terms “side effects,” “adverse reactions,” “neurological,” “brain” and “nerves” used between December 2020 and September 2021.

From the initial search results of the period December 2020–September 2021, the author collected 28 “original articles which convincingly reported a neurological adverse reaction.”

Included in the 28 studies was a September 2021 study documenting a patient who developed ADEM two weeks after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty) COVID-19 vaccine, and another study, published July 2021, that reported three patients were diagnosed with encephalitis after receiving AstraZeneca vaccine.

“Healthcare professionals, particularly neurologists involved in the management of patients having undergone SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations, should be aware of these side effects and should stay vigilant to recognize them early and treat them adequately,” Finsterer wrote.

ADEM ‘a serious but very rare complication of pretty well all vaccines’

While ADEM cases are extremely rare, they do happen, said Dr. Brian Conway, medical director with the Vancouver Infectious Diseases Clinic.

“Unfortunately they occur — very rarely — [from] one in 100,000 [cases] to one in one million,” Conway told CBC News.

“They are not at all specific to the COVID vaccine. This is something that we’ve identified as a serious but very rare complication of pretty well all vaccines.”

According to the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), the onset of ADEM can occur up to six weeks following COVID-19 vaccination.

CBC News reached out to BCCDC for data on how many people have been diagnosed with ADEM following a COVID-19 vaccine, but the agency did not respond, CBC News said on Wednesday.

According to the U.S. government-run Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, there have been 213 reports of ADEM following COVID-19 vaccines, with 155 of those reported after the Pfizer vaccine, 45 after Moderna’s vaccine and 12 after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Mystery Babylon churches taking government bribes to push covid “vaccines” on congregants Wednesday, June 22, 2022 by: Ethan Huff

(Natural News) So-called “public health” officials in Canada have resorted to pushing Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” in churches, which are now accepting cash in exchange for preaching about the “safety and effectiveness” of the jabs.

No longer is Jesus Christ the source of one’s salvation in Mystery Babylon, but rather the Operation Warp Speed injections from Donald Trump and Tony Fauci, in other words.

According to reports, the Canadian government is offering either $100,000 to each non-profit religious grifting operation that agrees to promote “vaccine confidence” from the pulpit.

One pastor from Saskatchewan told his congregation that he received a letter about all this, which he apparently shredded. He claims the government is “joining forces with non-profit(s)” to twist the arms of all remaining vaccine holdouts to get them to comply with the agenda.

“We have a Christian school in our church, and I got this from public health, and it is quite an amazing thing,” said Paul Dubois of Northeast Christian Fellowship in Melfort before his tithers.

“I’m not throwing my mail out anymore because we got asked to support vaccine confidence as a church with a non-profit, and the government was going to give us $50,000 for it.”

Apparently, $50,000 is given as a baseline, followed by another $50,000 if the jabs are promoted “out of a non-profit,” which churches technically are.

“They want us to promote vaccine confidence in schools,” Dubois added, stating that the rhetoric used was to “help reduce vaccine anxiety in school.”

“It’s on the downtake right now,” he added. “Kids aren’t getting as much as they were.”

Canada is spending untold millions promoting covid jabs – is this really about “saving lives?”

Calling the whole thing “propaganda,” Dubois made headlines back in January after he posted lettering on his church’s sign that read, “All welcome, vaxed or unvaxed. No segregation.”

Canada, as you may recall, imposed some of the strictest Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccine” measures, making it exceptionally difficult for the unvaccinated to live normal lives.

All institutions, including churches and schools, were told they must comply with the government’s demands or else face the consequences (Related: Pastor Artur Pawlowski is a perfect example of this).

In Dubois’ case, he compared Canada’s forced vaccination requirements and religious institution segregation demands to 1960s discrimination against black people, which he claims to have witnessed firsthand.

Canadian taxpayers are funding all the tyranny, by the way, including through a multi-million-dollar program called the Immunization Partnership Fund (IPF), which is actively promoting the injections all around the country.

According to the IPF, its agenda includes deploying a “community-based COVID-19 education, promotion, and outreach” agenda throughout Canada.

Back in April, it was reported that the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) is doing similar work, having handed out $2.2 million in grants to some 48 different organizations to “encourage” more Canadians to get injected.

“Some of the programs that received funding were geared toward promoting the COVID jabs to kids and pregnant / breastfeeding mothers,” LifeSiteNews reported.

Canada also pushed COVID jab propaganda through a program called “This Is Our Shot,” which was funded by hundreds of businesses, the corporate-controlled media, big banks, Big Pharma, and of course the government.

Not only are Canadians expected to get the first two jabs, but as of this week, they will now need three injections to be considered “fully vaccinated,” according to Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos.

“Clowns like Joel Osteen probably got a bundle,” added a commenter from LifeSite to the conversation. “Plus, they didn’t have to preach before a brain-dead audience for a while – they just raked in the big bucks the entire time.”

Biden Admin Proposes Title IX Protections for Trans Students, Likely for Bathrooms and Sports

On the 50th anniversary of Title IX, President Joe Biden proposed extending the civil rights law’s protections to transgender students, a move which could force facilities that receive federal funding to allow biological men to use women’s facilities and compete on their sports teams.

Title IX, which was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in 1972, is meant to protect women and girls from discrimination on the basis of sex, but more recent presidential administrations, namely that of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, have contended with the issue of whether this ought to apply to protections for individuals on the basis of gender identity as well.

The Biden administrations proposed rule change would reverse the Trump administration’s interpretation that Title IX only applied to discrimination against individuals on the basis of sex, rather than sexual and gender identity.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement that the change is meant to “protect LGBTQI+ students from discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.”

“Over the last 50 years, Title IX has paved the way for millions of girls and women to access equal opportunity in our nation’s schools and has been instrumental in combating sexual assault and sexual violence in educational settings,” Cardona said on June 23, the anniversary of Title IX, as The Daily Wire reported.

“As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of this landmark law, our proposed changes will allow us to continue that progress and ensure all our nation’s students – no matter where they live, who they are, or whom they love – can learn, grow, and thrive in school,” the statement continued.

Title IX currently reads that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

The “basis of sex” is what has been interpreted differently by the three most recent presidential administrations, with Biden and Obama seeking to define this as sexual and gender identity.

In 2016, Obama’s administration issued guidance that the protections ought to apply to transgender students who sought to use bathroom facilities that corresponded with their gender identity, but the Trump administration reversed this decision, leaving it up to state and local entities.

Just one day earlier, former Secretary of Education under President Donald Trump, Betsy DeVos, warned that the Biden administration was likely to take such a step as it did on Thursday, which she characterized as “a bridge too far.”

“That they would attempt to expand the definition of biological sex through a rulemaking process, it really is a bridge too far,” she said, as Fox News reported.

Here’s the List of Business Leaders Urging the Senate to Enact Gun Control by S.H. BLANNELBERRY

Last week, a group of more than 220 business leaders signed on to a letter urging the U.S. Senate to “take bold urgent action” on gun control. 

The full list is below but here are some of the more prominent businesses to take a pro-gun control stance: Levi Strauss & Co., The Permanente Medical Group, Inc., Bloomberg LP, Lyft, SF Giants, Unilever United States, Bumble, Yelp, Bain Capital, Northwell Health, Eventbrite, and the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Our nation’s gun violence epidemic is a public health crisis threatening the rituals of our daily lives. Schools, places of worship, and grocery stores should be safe havens from violence, but inaction on federal legislation has made gun violence a uniquely American problem,” said Chip Bergh, Chief Executive Officer and President of Levi Strauss & Co, in a press release obtained by GunsAmerica.

“By passing common-sense gun safety legislation, our lawmakers can save lives and restore safety in our communities. It’s time to act,” he added. 

The business leaders don’t spell out which gun control measures they want the Senate to enact in the letter.  However, they do claim that gun violence costs American taxpayers, employers, and communities “$280 billion per year.”

“These business leaders are proving that supporting gun safety isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s also good for business,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. 

“There’s a groundswell of Americans rising up and demanding the Senate not look away from the gun violence tearing apart our communities and finally take action to save lives,” she continued. “Inaction is not an option.”

While the Senate has agreed to a framework for a deal that includes enhanced background checks for adults under 21, improved school safety programs, and funding for mental health, the upper chamber has not come to terms on two other items, expanding “red flag” laws and closing the putative “boyfriend loophole.” 

Lawmakers are running against the clock, as they are scheduled to recess before the Fourth of July. 

President Biden on Monday was optimistic that a deal will get done.

“I’m confident that … there’s a serious, serious negotiation that’s getting close to becoming fruition,” Biden told reporters.

Italy’s Stance Towards Russia Dramatically Shifts BY RHODA WILSON

On 16 June, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi travelled to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.  The message was a promise to supply Ukraine with more heavy weapons and to raise the prospect of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union (“EU”).   On 21 June, Draghi secured the Italian Senate backing to continue supporting Ukraine against Russia.

Below is a compilation of clips made from two of his speeches.  The first speech made in Kiev and the second made five days later in Rome.

In Kiev: “EU sanctions against Russia impoverish the EU itself and enrich Russia”

Five days later in Rome: “EU sanctions against Russia are very effective”.

Source: Wittgenstein on Twitter

Draghi’s “mixed messages” about EU sanctions against Russia could be taken several ways.  Both speeches would need to be heard in their entirety to give the statements context. However, what’s more interesting is how Italy’s stance towards Russia has dramatically changed since the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict earlier this year.

Background

The link between Italy and Russia was increasingly close, wrote Reset Dialogues in March 2019.  Since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the trust between Russia and the West was not restored. This period proved to be particularly unfavourable for economic relations between Italy and Russia. The total value of trade exchanged between the two countries fell by some 3 billion euros in the four years after 2013, ostensibly because trade relations between the two countries are particularly sensitive to Western sanctions on Russia and Russia’s counter-sanctions.

The economic synergy between Italy and Russia is based on the strong complementarity of their respective economies: while Italy is a leader in the manufacturing sector, Russia is a prominent exporter of hydrocarbons.

Consistent with the approach it has adopted since the end of WWII, Italy tried to mediate between Russia and the West, preferring to address these factors of crisis cooperatively, rather than through confrontation.

Early in the Covid “pandemic” Russia supplied aid to Italy in the form of military doctors, PPE, ventilators and mobile disinfection machines. The mission was set in motion after a phone call between Conte and Vladimir Putin on 21 March 2020 as Italy struggled to get help from EU partners, wrote The Guardian.

So, how did Italy’s stance change from one of long-standing cooperation to confrontation?  A review of media reports since February 2022 may provide some clues. But before we list some of them, it’s worth recalling the change in Italy’s leadership in early 2021 as it is significant.

In January 2021, after winning a confidence vote the week before, Italy’s prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, resigned.  On 3 February, Mario Draghi, an economist who served from 2011 to 2019 as president of the European Central Bank, accepted a mandate from Italian President Sergio Mattarella to form a new Italian government. On 13 February, Draghi was officially sworn in as prime minister of Italy.

In June 2021, France 24 reported that Draghi had clearly aligned his country with the EU and the Atlantic alliance, with strongly worded messages at the recent G7 and NATO summits that end his predecessors’ ambiguous position towards Russia and China.

A Timeline of Draghi’s Russia-Ukraine War

1 February 2022: Putin, Draghi stress necessity for Kiev’s moves to implement Minsk agreements

Draghi and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a phone call to discuss the crisis over Ukraine and bilateral relations. The two leaders agreed on the need to find a “sustainable and durable” solution to the Ukrainian crisis and to rebuild a “climate of mutual confidence”

The leaders also shared commitment that was made to find a long-term solution to the situation and to rebuild a climate of trust. In the meanwhile, Kremlin also stated that Putin underlined Russia’s resolve to maintain natural gas supplies to Italy.

In Europe, Italy is seen as one of the most dovish countries toward Russia, partly due to strong business ties between the two countries. 

In December, Draghi said the EU had few tools of “deterrence” against Russia, noting its military weakness and added that hitting Moscow with tougher economic sanctions, extended to the gas sector, was unthinkable.

“Are we really capable of doing it? Do we have the strength? Is it the right moment? Clearly the answer is ‘no,’” he said, alluding to the energy crisis which has made Europe more dependent on Russian gas imports.  Draghi concluded that the only option was to maintain “a state of engagement” with Putin.

17 February 2022: Russia to increase gas supplies to Italy, Draghi to visit Moscow

Putin told Italy that Russia is ready to increase its gas supplies to the country if needed, the Russian ambassador to Italy Sergey Razov said.

Putin had also invited Draghi to visit Moscow, Razov said, adding that Russia appreciated what he called Italy’s “moderate position” regarding the crisis over Ukraine.  Speaking during a visit to Moscow, Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said Italy welcomed the invitation.

Draghi will travel “as soon as possible” to Moscow after an invitation by Putin, Rome’s foreign minister said.  “We are coordinating… on a date, as soon as possible,” Di Maio said after talks in Moscow with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.

31 May 2022: EU countries’ energy dependence on Russia ‘embarrassing’, Italy’s Draghi

EU countries know that buying gas and oil from Russia means bankrolling the war in Ukraine, but they cannot do much about it, Draghi admitted.

“There is an awareness” that Russia uses proceeds from energy exports to support its war effort, Draghi said after a two-day summit in Brussels in which EU leaders agreed on a partial embargo on Russian oil.

“There is also, especially in some countries, an awareness of the impossibility of [not buying Russian energy]. So, it is a very frustrating situation, but it will have to be resolved … it is a very embarrassing situation,” he added.

Italy is one of the EU countries that depends the most on gas supplies from Russia, but Draghi’s government is trying to change that by securing new gas deals in Africa and elsewhere.

Draghi said that sanctions that were imposed by the EU against Russia for its military operations in Ukraine would last many years. Oil trade restrictions will have an effect on international trade routes, according to Draghi. “For many years, if not forever,” Draghi believes.

13 June 2022: Macron, Scholz, Draghi shouldn’t put pressure on Zelensky, calling for concessions to Russia

The Polish Foreign Ministry was aware of plans for a joint visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Draghi to Kyiv, and is convinced that the three leaders should not put pressure on Zelensky to make any concessions to Russia.

13 June 2022: EU chief, Italian PM in Israel, with Russia-sparked energy crisis topping agenda

Von der Leyen and Draghi landed in Israel, as the EU sought to wean itself off Russian fossil fuel imports.  Both leaders were due to hold energy talks in Israel, which has turned from a natural gas importer into an exporter in recent years, cashing in major offshore finds.

16 June 2022: Scholz, Macron and Draghi in Kiev, European imperialism backs escalation of war against Russia

Macron, Scholz and Draghi travelled together on a special train to Kiev to meet Zelensky. In Kiev, Romanian President Klaus Johannis joined the party.

The message that the four of them conveyed was unequivocal. While the war with Russia is increasingly becoming a war of attrition without a foreseeable end, claiming hundreds of lives every day, they are doing everything they can to escalate and prolong it. They promised to supply Ukraine with more heavy weapons and to raise the prospect of accession to the EU. In doing so, they consciously accept the danger of a nuclear, third world war.

With the European Commission’s backing, Ukraine could now be added to the list of countries vying for EU membership as early as next week, when member state leaders meet at their Brussels summit.

16 June 2022: Draghi, Russia lying over gas supply problems

Russia was lying when it blamed a recent fall in gas exports on technical problems, Draghi said, accusing Moscow of using its gas supplies for political reasons.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier those reductions in supply over the past two days were not premeditated but were related to maintenance issues.

But during a visit to Kyiv, Draghi dismissed this explanation. “Both Germany and us, and others, believe these are lies. In reality they are making a political use of gas like they are using grain for political use,” he said.

21 June 2022: Italy’s Draghi gets backing for government line on Ukraine

Draghi secured the Italian Senate backing to continue supporting Ukraine against Russia, following calls from the 5-Star Movement leadership for Italy to stop sending weapons and focus more on diplomacy.

Draghi outlined Italy’s Ukraine policy, and briefed senators on his recent visit to Kyiv alongside the French and German leaders, ahead of the European Council later this week. While providing no new information on the weaponry Italy had sent, Draghi thanked senators for their “united” support for the government line.

AP News used the words “following calls … to stop sending weapons.”  However, Radio Genova tweeted a video with a caption that paints a different picture: 

“Deputies rise up against Mario Draghi: ‘Stop sending weapons to Zelensky!’ Over 70% of Italians do not want to send weapons to Zelensky. Mario Draghi does not represent the will of the Italian people. This happens in the worst dictatorships.”

23 June 2022: European Union makes Ukraine a candidate for EU membership

The EU agreed to put Ukraine on a path toward EU membership, acting with uncharacteristic speed and unity to pull the embattled country further away from Russia’s influence and bind it more closely to the West.

Covid Pandemic Truths: Covid “Vaccines” Are A Disaster in The Making BY RHODA WILSON

The mRNA “vaccines” are essentially artificial exosomes. A recent study demonstrated just how dangerous it is when infected exosomes enter the brain. The vaccine, in essence, releases massive doses of the spike protein within the body, including in the brain and spinal cord. This is a disaster in the making.  These vaccines should be stopped now before many more are seriously hurt or even killed.

Cross Reaction with Other Human Tissues: Autoimmunity

Studies by Dr. James Lyons-Weiler and others have confirmed that components of the Covid vaccines cross-react with more than 11 human tissues, meaning autoimmune diseases can develop involving one or all those tissues. The biodistribution study demonstrated that the mRNA-containing nanolipid carrier entered the brain and spinal cord.

Using Other Virus Carriers in The Body to Reach the Cells: Exosomes

New studies have demonstrated a very frightening possibility. We are all being told that the virus enters cells using principally the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor. But in truth, there is another mechanism: exosomes. Exosomes are much like the nanolipid carrier used in the vaccines. They are microscopic sacs that contain various components — such as RNA and DNA fragments — that can leave the cell, travel to other cells, enter them, and pass along genetic information. Exosomes are a cell-communication mechanism.

Unfortunately, many viruses can hijack these exosomes, insert their genetic information, and then exit the infected cells and travel to surrounding cells or even distant cells and enter them, thus spreading the infection. Infections by viruses cause the infected cell to produce a tremendous number of exosomes — all containing the viruses’ genetic information. The scary part is that the mRNA “vaccines” are essentially artificial exosomes, each carrying the very part of the virus (the spike protein) that does harm to the body. We have, in essence, traded a natural infection for an artificial one that could be far worse.

Overreaction Of the Immune System Stimulated by The Virus; Cytokine Storm (Immunoexcitotoxicity in The Brain and Spinal Cord)

A recent study demonstrated just how dangerous it is when infected exosomes enter the brain. These exosomes entered microglia, the brain’s special immune cells and the main source of excitotoxins. The exosomes caused the microglia to start generating very high levels of inflammatory cytokines and other immune mediators. These inflammatory substances are then released and do considerable harm to surrounding brain structures. This all occurs with the first injection.

We say that these microglia are “primed,” meaning they are in a state of hyperreactivity but have not fully released their destructive cytokines and excitotoxins yet. The second injection of the mRNA Covid vaccine activates this primed microglia, putting them into an extremely destructive state in which they release high concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and excitotoxins. This explains why people have worse reactions to the second vaccine dose.

The fear is that these vaccines could very well trigger neurodegeneration within specific brain areas, each causing a particular neurological disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, or even a totally new neurological disorder never seen before.

These vaccines can also trigger seizures, strokes, and even neuropsychiatric disorders. Keep in mind that in some cases these disorders do not appear for years or even decades. Dr. Peter McCullough, a professor of internal medicine and cardiology, cited a case in which a woman lost all memory after receiving the first vaccine dose. He also told of a fully vaccinated woman who lost her baby after breastfeeding. The child died of a thrombotic/haemorrhagic episode.

It has been shown that the nanolipid carrier does pass into the mother’s breast milk and can be transmitted through the placenta. Studies have now shown that the Covid-19 spike protein can induce Parkinson’s disease in humans. The vaccine, in essence, releases massive doses of the spike protein within the body, including in the brain and spinal cord. Importantly, the release, because of the widespread distribution of the nanolipid carriers, is directly within each involved tissue, thus maximising the damage. This is a disaster in the making. In my opinion, these vaccines should be stopped now before many more are seriously hurt or even killed.
