Susan Monarez was confirmed to lead the US public health agency by the Senate in July

The director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is still in her position despite an announcement by the White House that she had been fired, one of her lawyers has said.

According to them, Susan Monarez – who has only been in the job for a month – had refused “to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives” and has accused Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr of “weaponising public health”.

The reason for her removal was that she was “not aligned with the president’s agenda”, the White House said in a statement.

But her lawyer said only President Donald Trump could remove her.

At least three senior CDC leaders resigned from the agency, some citing frustration over vaccine policy and the leadership of Kennedy, also known as RFK.  (See link for article)

Trump Admin Names New Acting CDC Director After Monarez Firing

The White House has tapped Jim O’Neill, a top deputy to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to serve as acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) following the ouster of Susan Monarez, who lasted mere weeks in her position.

Newsweek reached out to the White House by email outside of normal business hours on Thursday evening for comment.

Why It Matters

The White House removed CDC Director Susan Monarez from her post for not being “aligned with the President’s agenda of Making America Healthy Again,” according to White House spokesperson Kush Desai, but she’s now saying the decision must come directly from Trump, who has not said anything publicly about her ouster.

The move has prompted severe backlash from health officials and lawmakers, including former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden, who led the agency from 2009 to 2017, and Dr. Mandy Cohen, who served during the Biden administration.

Three other senior CDC officials resigned on Wednesday in reaction to her ouster: Dr. Debra Houry, the deputy director, Dr. Daniel Jernigan, head of the CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, head of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.

Daskalakis specifically wrote a letter to Houry, which was posted on X, in which he said that he cannot “serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”  (See link for article)

Best Quote:

“The CDC is in trouble, needs to be fixed.” ~ Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr

If ever there was a vast understatement, this would be it.  

According to the Independent Medical Alliance, the “rogue agency is long-overdue for a housecleaning.”

“This rogue agency has long since lost its focus on the core mission, instead becoming a hub for promoting government control and politically charged activism. It’s past time for the CDC to get a top-to-bottom house cleaning.” – Dr. Joseph Varonn August 15,

  • A crowdfunded lawsuit was filed (Thomas v. Monarez) against the CDC for recommending approximately 72 doses of vaccines to children without any studies ever having been done to examine the health effects of its vaccination schedule.  According to attorney Richard Jaffe, who filed the suit against the CDC on behalf of the plaintiffs,

This case puts the CDC’s entire childhood program on trial. For decades, the agency has demanded proof of harm while refusing to do the studies that could provide it, and physicians who attempt to fill that research gap or challenge the schedule or ACIP’s narrow contraindications and precautions framework are ridiculed and delicensed. Meanwhile, American children have become the sickest in the developed world under the most aggressive vaccine schedule on earth.

Instead of battling at the state level, attorney Rick Jaffe went straight for the source—demanding the CDC downgrade its 72-dose childhood schedule from “mandatory” to “shared decision-making.”

If the court agrees, state mandates collapse and the CDC’s grip on parents shatters overnight.

“They want to claim the program is safe? Fine, prove it.” ~ Richard Jaffe, Attorney

  • And pediatricians have filed a lawsuit against the CDC, challenging ‘unjust’ childhood ‘vaccine’ exemption criteria, the results of which force pediatricians and parents into ‘vaccinating’ children against either their better judgement and or parental wishes.
  • ICAN is calling on RFK to rein in flagrant industry influence on the CDC ‘vaccine’ committee.  Although hr prohibited ‘liaison organizations’ such as healthcare professions, insurance companies, and Big Pharma from participating in ACIP work groups, these organizations remain on the committee and retain far too much influence on the vaccine issue. One liaison member, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), happens to be one of Washington’s top lobbying spenders, representing companies like Pfizer and Merck. Another liaison member is the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which recently took the legally and  morally indefensible position of calling for the removal all non-medical vaccine exemptions in all 50 states and a crackdown on medical exemptions.

I could literally go onto infinity with this.

The CDC is completely utterly corrupt and not to be trusted.

U.S. regulators approved updated shots but limited their use for many Americans — and removed one of the two vaccines available for young children.

By  MATTHEW PERRONE
Updated August 27, 2025
 

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. regulators approved updated COVID-19 shots Wednesday but limited their use for many Americans — and removed one of the two vaccines available for young children.

The new shots from Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax are approved for all seniors. But the Food and Drug Administration narrowed their use for younger adults and children to those with at least one high-risk health condition, such as asthma or obesity. That presents new barriers to access for millions of Americans who would have to prove their risk — and millions more who may want to get vaccinated and suddenly no longer qualify.

Additionally, Pfizer’s vaccine will no longer be available for any child under 5, because the FDA said it was revoking the shot’s emergency authorization for that age group.

Parents will still be able to seek out shots from rival drugmaker Moderna, the other maker of mRNA vaccines, which has full FDA approval for children as young as 6 months. But the company’s Spikevax vaccine is only approved for children with at least one serious health problem. (See link for article)

Important quote:

“The American people demanded science, safety, and common sense. This framework delivers all three,” Kennedy wrote on social media.

_____________

The following quote sums it all up:

Revoking the Emergency Use Authorization for COVID shots is a long-overdue step. But authorizing new mRNA injections for babies and vulnerable populations is reckless and dangerous. We are now uncovering direct evidence of genomic integration and severe transgenerational harms from mRNA technology. Continuous approval for any human being is a grave mistake. ~ Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

Further, a top cancer geneticist states the mRNA shots ‘permanently’ damage the human genome, a new analysis of the Czech COVID shot data reveals the shots are deadly for ALL ages and should be whole scale pulled from market, and a preprint hypothesizes that when infections follow vaccination—especially repeated ones—the result isn’t less severe illness but more. Sometimes much more. 

But truth be damned.

On top of all the bad news is the very real possibility that even if you avoided spike protein damage from the clot shots you are still at risk due to shedding from others and from the food chain.

BREAKING: Three Peer-Reviewed Studies Provide Irrefutable Grounds for Immediate Market Withdrawal of COVID-19 mRNA Injections

International evidence converges: mRNA shots are unsafe, ineffective, contaminated, and in violation of international law.

 
Aug 28, 2025
 

by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

Two major peer-reviewed papers were published in the last 48 hours — one from Japan and another from an international team of physicians and researchers, including those from the McCullough Foundation.

These build directly on our foundational peer-reviewed paper published earlier this year, which comprehensively established the case for terminating mRNA injection programs.

Together, these three studies converge on the same conclusion:

The modified COVID-19 mRNA injections are unsafe, ineffective, contaminated, and in violation of international law.

This is now the strongest scientific and ethical case yet for immediate global withdrawal of mRNA-LNP products.  (See link for article and studies)

_______________

The studies call for:

  • All genetic COVID-19 products must be immediately removed from the market.

  • Self-amplifying mRNA platforms must be stopped before repeating this disaster.

  • International investigation under the Bioweapons Convention is indicated.

RMSF Case Documented in Quebec

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/article/tick-borne-rocky-mountain-spotted-fever-detected-in-quebec-and-ontario/

Potentially deadly tick-borne illness recorded in Quebec and Ontario

By Daniel Otis

Published: 

Canada’s first known human case of a potentially deadly tick-borne illness has been documented in Quebec.

The Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever case was recently recorded in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. It follows reports from Ontario of infected animals that visited Long Point on Lake Erie.

“Many people with this infection can be on the more severe end of the spectrum,” infectious disease specialist Dr. Isaac Bogoch told CTV’s Your Morning on Monday. “This can cause a very significant illness and can result in hospitalization and death.”

The bacterial illness is carried by several tick species, including dermacentor variabilis, which is also known as the American dog tick. Despite its name, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is most common in the eastern United States, where thousands of cases are recorded every year. (See link for article)

**Comment**

Unfortunately, the article regurgitates the climate change myth.

Ticks are marvelous ecoadapters and will be the last species on planet earth. They have the equivalent of antifreeze in their bodies and will simply find snow or leaf litter to crawl under when conditions become harsh.  In fact, warm winters are lethal to ticks, with overwinter survival dropping to 33% when the snow melted.  This has been substantiated by other researchers as well.  Scott & Scott, 2018, ticks and climate change, JVSM

They need snow cover to survive.

So ‘climate change’ would actually kill ticks.  

If only.

Important excerpt:

If left untreated, the fatality rate can be as high as between 20 to 30 per cent, according to the U.S.-based Cleveland Clinic. When treated with the antibiotic doxycycline, which is also used for Lyme disease, the fatality rate drops to between five and 10 per cent. Early intervention is key to avoid more serious outcomes, which can also include amputation, hearing loss and brain damage.

Sadly, very little real journalism is occurring in the U.S.  Reporters simply take regurgitated information and regurgitate it back yet again perpetuating the cycle of an accepted narrative.  Where are the investigative journalists digging for truth?  Where are the journalists who present all sides of an issue so the reader can form their own opinion?

They are an extinct species.

Mom Takes Selfie in Woods With Child—Later Sees There Were 3 in the Photo

A family day of berry-picking in the Swedish countryside turned into a medical ordeal when a mother discovered a tick clinging to her daughter’s eyelashes.

Alessandra Paiusco (@la.tuttologa) from Uppsala, Sweden, shared the find in a post on TikTok, with a close-up image showing the insect lodged in her 1-year-old’s lash line.

The 33-year-old told Newsweek the family had been on holiday at a farm about an hour outside Uppsala with her parents, Marco, 63, and Lea, 57, along with her children Leonidas, nearly 3, and Olympia.  (See link for article)

Debunking ‘Virology is Fraud’ Arguments &

As you know, this website has posted on both sides of the viral debate.  Do they exist or don’t they?  Deniers say it has to do with ‘purification’ and that they have not managed to truly isolate a singular entity, among other issues.  Below is an article that is pro-virus.

One thing is for certain: our own government is tweaking bacteria and ‘viruses’ in labs to make them more virulent and transmissible to humans.  Our own government has been involved in utilizing ‘viruses’ to take away our freedoms and mandating untested and experimental products which have caused untold harm – all for profit.  Their profit, not ours.

But, per usual, illness is often far more complicated than one thing.

There are so many toxic variables now, it’s nearly impossible to sleuth out what is causing or exacerbating what.  Between pesticides, herbicides, poor food quality, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), bioweapons, geoengineering (weather modification), ‘vaccines,’ EMF in 5G, smart meters, WiFi, unhealthy LED lighting, and blue light, fluoride in the drinking water, bottled/canned drinks, and most toothpaste, good luck figuring out what’s making you sick.  

It’s truly a marvel we are still sucking air!

Top 80 ways to know viruses are real

Debunking “virology is fraud” arguments
James Hill, MD
Aug 16, 2025

Many today on social media claim viruses don’t exist.

Surprisingly, a few physicians and PhD scientists have joined this chorus.

Some are now even saying DNA is fake.

Are these people correct?

It makes sense to be skeptical of virus claims, especially since the public was lied to extensively about Covid origins, treatments, vaccines, lockdowns, social distancing, masks, and numbers of Covid infections, cases, and deaths, based on misuse of PCR tests among other things.

But a vast amount of data indicates viruses do exist.

Undeniable evidence

Viruses are a fundamental part of our planet’s biology, yet their nature is strange.

A virus is an infectious agent composed of genetic material — either DNA or RNA — enclosed within a protective protein coat called a capsid.

Some viruses are further enveloped in a lipid membrane stolen from the host cell.

They are considered noncellular and are obligate intracellular parasites, meaning they cannot replicate on their own.

Instead, they must hijack the energy and molecular machinery of a living cell to create more copies of themselves.

This unique mode of existence, on the border between living and nonliving, has been demonstrated through more than a century of scientific investigation across numerous fields.

Viruses infect all domains of life — bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes — and display diverse shapes, sizes, and genome types.

Virus-encoded proteins follow a limited set of genome expression “routes” (the Baltimore classes) and are formally classified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). (PMC)

Operational definition
ICTV defines viruses operationally as mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that encode at least one major virion protein forming the particle that packages the genome, or clear descendants of such entities. (ICTV)

Virions and genome types
Virions are nanoscale particles composed of virus-encoded proteins that package genomes made of RNA or DNA, single- or double-stranded. ICTV hosts the official taxonomy browser and Master Species List (MSL) that catalogue this diversity. (ICTV)

Virus taxonomy is hierarchical and genome informed
ICTV now uses a 15-rank hierarchy (from realm to species), aligning with comparative genomics across the virosphere. (Nature)

Key properties of viruses:

  • Submicroscopic size (typically 20–300 nm)
  • Simplified structure (genome + capsid, sometimes an envelope)
  • Obligate dependence on host cells
  • Genetic variation and evolution
  • Production of progeny virions that can infect new cells.
  • Transmission between hosts with high specificity and through various routes (respiratory, fecal-oral, vector borne, etc.).

Below are 80 key lines of evidence, gathered from microscopy, molecular and evolutionary biology, genetics, immunology, and clinical medicine, that build an ironclad case for the existence and nature of viruses.

If just about any one of the 80 peer-reviewed studies or review papers below is true, spanning from Rivers’ 1937 modification of Koch’s postulates to today, it debunks the claim “there are no viruses.”  (See link for article and video)

Covid virus challenges

Researchers also performed two human SARS-CoV-2 virus challenge studies, where volunteers snorted the virus up their nose (self-inoculation) to see if they became infected.

It turns out they did get infected:

1. Safety, tolerability, and viral kinetics (2022)

Summary: This was the first SARS-CoV-2 human challenge study. Healthy, young, seronegative adults were intranasally inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 under controlled quarantine. The study established viral kinetics, safety, and infectivity. It did not include exposing uninfected volunteers to inoculated ones.

Publisher link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01780-9

2. Local and systemic immune responses (2024)

Summary: This follow-up study profiled immune and epithelial cell responses after controlled intranasal inoculation of healthy, seronegative young adults. It provided detailed cellular and molecular insights, again without person-to-person exposure.

Publisher link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07575-x

Why are there no volunteer-to-volunteer Covid transmission studies?

It’s mainly an ethics issue:

  1. Ethical barriers: Unlike influenza or rhinovirus studies at the Common Cold Unit, SARS-CoV-2 presents risks of severe or long-term illness, making intentional volunteer-to-volunteer transmission unethical.
  2. Controlled approach: All SARS-CoV-2 human challenge studies to date use direct intranasal inoculation under quarantine to control risks.
  3. Evidence base: To study transmission, researchers rely instead on animal models (ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs) and observational human data (household studies, outbreak clusters) rather than deliberate person-to-person exposure in healthy volunteers.

Note: Just because viruses exist and can transmit between hosts does not mean government and media are telling you the truth about everything or that Covid is not a bioweapon operation.
