FDA Approves COVID Election Booster to Begin Immediately


Posted originally on the CTH on September 11, 2023 | Sundance 

As expected, the FDA has approved a new series of COVID-19 “booster” vaccines which are immediately available for anyone who trusts the institutions of government to be focused on your health and wellbeing.   For everyone else, hard pass.

“The FDA is confident in the safety and effectiveness of these updated vaccines and the agency’s benefit-risk assessment demonstrates that the benefits of these vaccines for individuals 6 months of age and older outweigh their risks.”

FDA – Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration took action approving and authorizing for emergency use updated COVID-19 vaccines formulated to more closely target currently circulating variants and to provide better protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death. Today’s actions relate to updated mRNA vaccines for 2023-2024 manufactured by ModernaTX Inc. and Pfizer Inc. Consistent with the totality of the evidence and input from the FDA’s expert advisors, these vaccines have been updated to include a monovalent (single) component that corresponds to the Omicron variant XBB.1.5.

What You Need to Know

• Individuals 5 years of age and older regardless of previous vaccination are eligible to receive a single dose of an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least 2 months since the last dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.

• Individuals 6 months through 4 years of age who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19 are eligible to receive one or two doses of an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (timing and number of doses to administer depends on the previous COVID-19 vaccine received).

• Unvaccinated individuals 6 months through 4 years of age are eligible to receive three doses of the updated authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or two doses of the updated authorized Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.

• The FDA is confident in the safety and effectiveness of these updated vaccines and the agency’s benefit-risk assessment demonstrates that the benefits of these vaccines for individuals 6 months of age and older outweigh their risks.

• Individuals who receive an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may experience similar side effects as those reported by individuals who previously received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines as described in the respective prescribing information or fact sheets.

• The updated vaccines are expected to provide good protection against COVID-19 from the currently circulating variants. Barring the emergence of a markedly more virulent variant, the FDA anticipates that the composition of COVID-19 vaccines may need to be updated annually, as is done for the seasonal influenza vaccine.

• The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet tomorrow (Sept. 12), to discuss clinical recommendations on who should receive an updated vaccine, as well as further considerations for specific populations such as immunocompromised and older individuals.

• Manufacturers have publicly announced that the updated vaccines would be ready this fall, and the FDA anticipates that the updated vaccines will be available in the near future. (read more)

Could Pfizer Collapse to $6-7.00 a share?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Sep 8, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: When will the people stay a boycott of Pfsir as they did with Bud Light?

HB

ANSWER: The court in South Africa ordered the government to release the contract with Pfizer that they were preventing the public from having access. Quite honestly, ANY politicians who voted for the vaccines by Pfizer should be voted out of office. This contract states, “Accordingly, Pfizer and its Affiliates shall have no liability for any failure by Pfizer or its Affiliates…” id/2.1(d), Page 8. This is completely outrageous that ANY politicians would waive all liability for a vaccine. Suppose a car manufacturer produces a car that blows up when you start it, but only one in 500. If they have no liability, then why fix it?

Under capitalism, every company is liable for its product that is manufactured. Where does Pfizer get off with this with the appearance of paying bribes and gifts to politicians? People questioned our forecast made back on August 26th, 2021, that that should have been the high and that: “Something is very strange when it comes to Pfizer. The rally should not extend beyond 2022…”

This is why Socrates is so important. The criticism I got for that forecast was that their profits would continue to rise, so why should the stock collapse? The computer forecasts are better than any human. Why? Because humans get all caught up in the fundamental news when the computer is analyzing it dispassionately.

When will the people rise up and boycott Pfizer? Personally, I refuse to accept anything from Pfizer for myself or my dogs. I would never advise Pfizer, nor would I advise any company in bed with Pfizer. I wouldn’t say I like their way of doing business. I believe the company has rigged the game, and the politicians sold our rights, which I believe was unconstitutional. But find a judge who will honestly address this question. Good luck!

A year-end closing below the $33.20 level, and we may see crash mode for 2024. Anyone who has family working at this firm should look for employment elsewhere. I would not rule out that some people may seek revenge against those who worked there during the coming civil unrest. You never know anymore. They have pushed the envelope way too far on all of this. A break of that level points to a test of the $28 range, and a break of that area will warn that Pfizer could be looking at the $6-7.00 level by 2032.

New Covid Booster Shot Will Be Available Next Week, Just Before Expected Primary Election Season Surge


Posted originally on the CTH September 7, 2023 | Sundance 

According to media reports, the primary election variant of COVID-19 is rapidly approaching.  The COVID-19 booster shot is arriving in time to support the narrative.

I’ve lost track but I think this is COVID booster #7 for most sheeple.

(NewsNation) — A new COVID-19 booster could be coming next week, just in time for an expected surge in cases heading into the fall.

The Federal Drug Administration is expected to approve the updated shots as early as Friday, according to NBC News. That would pave the way for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to give final approval next week. The CDC’s panel of independent advisers is set to meet Tuesday, WABC-TV reported.

COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are rising by double-digit percentages, according to CDC data, though rates remain far below pandemic-era levels.

When will it be available? Potentially, as soon as Sept. 13.

First, the FDA will meet — possibly this week — to approve the shot. After it does, a panel of independent advisers to the CDC will meet and recommend who should be eligible for the shots. The panel is set to meet on Tuesday.

What’s new about this booster? The latest shot will target the XBB.1.5 omicron subvariant. While CDC data shows it’s no longer the dominant strain, the updated booster should protect against other current subvariants, NBC News reported, citing drugmakers and experts. EG.5 is the current dominant strain.

Moderna claims its new vaccine is effective against the newly emerged B.2.86 variant, unofficially dubbed “Pirola,” which the CDC has warned may be more infectious than other strains among those who have had COVID before. (read more)

London’s DAILY Driving Tax


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Sep 7, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has a firm grip on London. The WEF has warned us that they plan to ban private car ownership to save the world. All it takes is the stroke of a pen for these asinine ideas to become law. London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) law is not going as planned as the people are fighting back.

The new law charges drivers in high-traffic areas a £15 tax PER DAY to use their vehicle. It does not matter if you drive a Hummer or a Tesla; the government needs your money to save the environment. If you drive outside of a congested area, you will be subject to a £12.50 daily fine. People are already grappling with the cost of living crisis, but the government simply does not care. Londoners could pay up to £300 simply to drive to work or school and even those who live in the designated ULEZ zone cannot bypass the tax.

The government has installed CCTV cameras around the city to enforce the tax. A group called the Blade Runners has emerged and they are working to protect the public by removing these dystopian cameras. “There are 24 hours in a day. We either fight it or accept it. We do whatever we can,” said the activist when speaking to the Daily Mail. “What we will achieve by our actions is the removal of the infrastructure and waking up the sleeping masses to what is really going on.”

People are celebrating this group that has effectively dismantled over a quarter of CCTV cameras. The police are launching Operation Eremon as a counterattack but have not stated the exact penalties. Tory MP Iain Duncan Smith celebrates those who “cement up the cameras or put plastic bags over them.” Nigel Farage posted on X, “When laws become enemies of men, men become enemies of laws. I have been firmly told that in our area no ULEZ camera will stay up for very long.” The people are powerful when they come together – resistance is not futile.

The Freedom to Breathe Act  


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Sep 7, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The White House has announced that the President will be wearing a mask indoors again after the First Lady contracted COVID. “As far as the steps he is taking since the President was with the First Lady yesterday he will be masking while indoors and around people in alignment with CDC guidance,” Jean-Pierre stated. Yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has admitted that cloth masks have never been effective. Senator JD Vance of Ohio is now introducing legislation to ban politicians from implementing mask mandates.

The Freedom to Breathe Act would prevent the elites from forcing the public to wear masks for any reason. The proposed bill would:

  • Prohibit any federal official, including the President, from issuing an order requiring individuals to wear a mask or other face covering on any passenger flight in the U.S. national airspace system, on public transit, or in school (primary, secondary, and colleges);
  • Block Commercial Air Carriers, public transit authorities, and all educational institutions from refusing service to anyone who declines to wear a mask or other face covering;
  • Prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services from requiring plane or train passengers and students to wear a mask or face covering in response to a public health emergency;
  • Restrict federal spending to propose, establish, implement, or enforce a mask requirement on airline and public transit passengers and students;
  • Require all agencies issue new and revised guidance within 90 days of enactment to implement the law and preempt all other laws or guidance contrary to the Act.

It will be hard to pass these bans in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Senator Ted Cruz attempted to introduce a similar bill in January called the No Mask Mandates Act of 2023. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the last mask mandate in April 2022 that would have required people to wear some form of fabric on half their faces on public transportation. But they were able to do so since Biden had recently declared an end to the COVID emergency, which he could and likely will bring back.

Each piece of media regarding a COVID resurgence is intended to test the waters. How will the public respond? Will they willingly submit? Fauci himself said he worries people will not obey the next round of mandates. They begin with mask mandates and make the jump to vaccines. We know they are producing a new vaccine for the fall, and if it is anything like the last go-around, they will be pushing propaganda to demonize the anti-vaxxers who they deem responsible for the entire pandemic.

Fauci Worried People Won’t Obey Mask Mandates


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Sep 6, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Masks were ineffective. They forced us to cover half our face to appear in public for years. It had nothing to do with health and everything to do with being a mass social experiment to see how blindly the people would obey their laws. Anthony Fauci realizes that a second round of COVID restrictions will be much more difficult to manage as many have woken up to the fearmongering.

“I am concerned that people will not abide by [masking] recommendations,” Fauci said. “We’re not talking about mandates or forcing anybody, but when you have a situation where the volume of cases in society gets to a reasonably high level, the vulnerable, the elderly, those with underlying conditions, are going to be more susceptible, if they do get infected, of getting severe disease leading to hospitalization. We know that. That’s a fact,” Fauci told reporters at CNN.

Let us recall that Fauci was spotted at a super-spreader event, a baseball game, without a mask. All of those pushing for mandates were spotted breaking those very laws. He knows this is all a show. CNN was not even willing to comply as the reporter read Fauci a study published by the New York Times that discusses how useless masks and mask mandates have been. They even asked Fauci about the inconsistent studies regarding masks and how they should have never been mandated in the first place.

Typical Fauci babbled on about the science. He said that although masks may not protect individuals, they can still protect the public at large. Nothing he says makes sense. They are attempting to prepare us for another mass COVID outbreak. Interestingly, COVID seems to become a problem when we near elections, and some are calling it an “election virus.” Jill Biden has now come down with COVID after receiving every vaccination under the sun. They want the people to begin talking about how it must be spreading. The cat is already out of the bag, and we know the truth — masks do not work. We will not comply.

The Media Wants Us to Know That Jill Biden Has COVID – The Primary Election Variant


Posted originally on the September 5, 2023 | Sundance | 229 Comments

Does anyone really care?  I mean, HIPAA laws prohibit the public display of health information. So, when the people behind the wife of Joe Biden want to proclaim that she has the newest and fashionable variant of COVID, there’s generally a narrative engineering reason for it.

I’m sure Jill Biden will not be the last to promote their infected status, there’s certain to be a line of Hollywood and pop culture figures enlisted in the useful narrative.  However, it will be interesting to see just how many people play along this time.

WASHINGTON DC – First lady Jill Biden tested positive for Covid-19 Monday evening and is “currently experiencing only mild symptoms,” according to the White House.

The first lady, 72, will remain at her home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., her communications director Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement. She has been vaccinated and received boosters. (read more)

CNN steps in with the narrative enhancement, “Jill Biden’s diagnosis comes amid renewed attention to Covid-19 as the world approaches the fourth virus season since the coronavirus arrived on the scene.  US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data from earlier in the summer showed a slight increase in hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and positive Covid-19 tests – although not nearly as high as in past summers.”

Bill Gates: You Don’t Have a Choice


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Sep 5, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

https://youtube.com/watch?v=BE518ans5dM%3Ffeature%3Doembed

“But you don’t have a choice. People act like you have a choice, you don’t have a choice,” Bill Gates proclaimed three years ago in regards to the mRNA vaccine. Gates, with no medical training, has not abandoned his lofty goal of altering the population through medical tyranny. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation websites discusses the Immunization Agenda 2030, a key piece to the overall agenda.

The Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) discusses the need for continued COVID-19 vaccines, despite numerous governments claiming the virus is no longer a cause for concern. “Moving forward, strong immunization systems will be needed to ensure that people everywhere are protected against COVID-19 and other diseases,” the website states. “Ensuring everyone receives the vaccines they need will provide exceptional return on investment and help keep the world safe from future pandemics.” They say the people have a “fundamental right” to vaccinations, but no right to medical independence.

What can vaccinations do, according to IA2030? They have the ability to completely eliminate poverty while contributing to a strong workforce. Vaccine manufacturing will also contribute to “national industrial infrastructure” in low to middle income economies. The vaccines can even combat climate change! “Immunization protects urban public health and interrupts disease transmission, ensuring sustainable cities and communities,” page 14 of the IA2030 document reads. The magical medicine can also solve gender equality! “Removal of gender-related barriers to vaccination contributes to gender equality, as it supports women’s full participation and equal opportunities for accessing health services.” Climate, gender, sustainability, equality – is there anything these vaccinations cannot do? I guess the biggest downfall of the COVID vaccine, in particular, is that it DOES NOT PREVENT TRANSMISSION OR INFECTION.

Gates stresses the importance of global cooperation by all governments. There will be more vaccines as this program is designed to “accelerate the development of new vaccines,” meaning more experimental jabs will appear on the market without proper testing. There will also be global stakeholders behind these vaccines who will ensure that their investments are secured by pushing the larger Agenda 2030. “You act like you have a choice!” Yes, I do, and I will not risk my life for Gates and his globalist stakeholders who want us to abandon medical autonomy for profit.

New York City Recommending Masks Again, New COVID Variant


Posted originally on the CTHSeptember 1, 2023 | Sundance 

There has been increasingly visible media promotion of various municipalities reinstituting mask recommendations to battle a new BA.2.86 covid variant.

Today, the New York City Dept of Health became the latest large metropolitan area to recommend the return to face masks; however, no government mandates yet.

[…] Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, along with other proven prevention tools – like masking, testing, and staying home when sick – continue to be our best defense against COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. (link)

COVID Vaccine Required for LEGAL US Immigrants


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Aug 30, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

There is an uptick in previously dormant viruses. Then again, countless people have entered America at the southern border illegally. Those who wish to come here on goodwill, legally abiding by US law, are forced to undergo a physical examination and receive the following vaccinations:

  • Diphtheria
  • Tetanus
  • Pertussis
  • Polio
  • Measles
  • Mumps
  • Rubella
  • Rotavirus
  • Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B
  • Meningococcal disease
  • Varicella
  • Pneumococcal disease
  • Influenza
  • COVID-19

So those who want to abide by the book must receive the COVID vaccination. Before May, legal immigrants were required to show proof that they received the full series. Now, they only need to show proof of one vaccine as they want to pile in as many people as possible. Therefore, anyone entering the US must be willing to abide by the leftist playbook of A) receiving the experimental vaccine, or B) breaking the law and therefore voting blue to maintain residency. The only legal migrants not required to take the jab are those under SIX MONTHS OLD. So if you want to become an American, you must subject your infants to a vaccine with known side effects and unknown benefits.

Again, the left is playing dirty before the November presidential election. Title 42 was put in place under Trump at the beginning of 2020 when COVID was thought to be akin to the Black Plague. Title 42 prevented people from seeking asylum in the US and allowed border patrol agents to deport anyone who crossed over illegally. Biden let this protection pass, sold off the materials to finish building the wall, allowed portions of Arizona’s border to be welded open, and removed the border patrol’s ability to expel migrants. It was never about health or COVID, rather, it was all about adhering to authority.
