Utah mom sues AstraZeneca, claiming she was left 'permanently disabled' in COVID vaccine trial

A Utah mother who says she was "permanently disabled" after taking part in the US clinical trial of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine is suing the drug manufacturer because it failed to cough up enough cash to cover her medical expenses.

Brianne Dressen, 42, was "the picture of good health" when she started the British-made vaccine's clinical trial in 2020 — but ended up developing a severe neurological condition, the lawsuit filed Monday alleges.

"I walked into the clinic fine, and walked out the beginning of a nightmare I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy," Dressen said, per the court papers.

The former teacher developed side effects just hours after being injected with the vaccine, including arm tingles, blurred vision, a headache, ringing ears and vomiting, according to the court filing.

Some of the symptoms worsened and spread to her legs before she discovered she had developed paresthesia — a neurological condition in which nerves are irritated, the suit charges.

Israel forces Palestinians to evacuate from more areas of Gaza's previous "safe zone" Rafah

Israel called on Saturday for Palestinians in more areas of Gaza's southern city of Rafah to evacuate and head to what it calls an expanded humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi, in a further indication that the military is pressing ahead with its plans for a ground attack on Rafah.

The Israeli military also called on residents and displaced people in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza to clear out, saying it was returning to operate there after it noticed Hamas trying to re-establish its control of the area.

The Palestinian health ministry said at least 37 Palestinians, 24 of them from central Gaza areas, were killed in overnight airstrikes across the enclave, including in Rafah, the Strip's southernmost city bordering Egypt. It does not distinguish how many were civilians or militants.

Comment: More from Politico:
The Israeli army plans to "work with great force" against the Hamas militant group, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Avichai Adraee said in a post on X, calling the areas to be evacuated a "dangerous combat zone."


The evacuation order covers the southeastern part of Rafah along the Israeli border and the Egyptian border — including the Rafah crossing, which the Israeli military blocked on Tuesday.

According to the IDF statement, Hamas has been "trying to rebuild its capabilities in the region."

People were told to go to a humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi in the western part of the Gaza Strip, where more than 400,000 people have sought refuge, according to the latest situation report from the U.N.'s Palestinian humanitarian agency UNRWA.

But the humanitarian camp cannot house any more people, the agency said, as about 80,000 people have already fled Rafah and moved to the area since the Israeli army issued its first evacuation order on Monday.

The evacuation orders come as a much-anticipated U.S. State Department report on the Israel-Hamas conflict stopped short of declaring that Israel has violated international law in its war with the militant group.

"It is reasonable to assess" that Israel used U.S.-provided weapons in ways that are "inconsistent" with international law, the report states. But Israel didn't give Washington enough evidence to adjudicate whether those arms were used to violate human rights in Gaza, the West Bank or East Jerusalem, according to the document.
It appears more and more that Zionist fanaticism will be the downfall of Israel as the majority of the world turns away in disgust:

Ashley Biden's journal confirmed to be factual yet again

The mainstream media continues to sweep this information under the rug, but if it were not (D)ifferent), this would be one of the biggest presidential scandals in modern history. Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, left a diary a rehabilitation facility for sex-related trauma. The diary was shrouded in mystery and Biden's PR team vehemently denied that the diary ever belonged to Ashley Biden. Snopes, a fact-checking website used by the left to promote propaganda, quietly revealed that the diary does indeed belong to Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley.

"I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online," Ashley Biden wrote in a letter on April 8, 2024, to a New York judge who sentenced the woman who attempted to sell the diary to time behind bars. In the letter, Ashley claims she was a private citizen whose father just so happened to be running for president. Ashley also demanded that the judge sentence the woman who found the diary to the fullest extent of the law. "I worry that a non-incarceratory sentence will send a message- -to her and to others like her that it is okay to violate and exploit others for your own personal gain, regardless of the humiliation and pain it causes," Biden's daughter asked the judge.

Thieves loot copper cables from Tesla charging stations in California

A Tesla Supercharger station in California's Bay Area was recently hit by vandals who cut each and every charging cable, rendering the entire site useless.

Vandalism of Tesla vehicles is not uncommon, and we have reported on it many times in the past. Tesla Superchargers are also prone to various forms of vandalism and abuse, with damage to charging stalls or the act of "ICEing," which entails gas-powered cars blocking Supercharger piles, all being popular forms of disruption.

However, we are now seeing vandalism continue in a strange and extremely disruptive way. A Bay Area Supercharger with several stalls was completely rendered useless after people sliced each of the cables from the individual piles.

Comment: As perhaps a sign of the direction parts of the US are headed, copper cable theft is a serious problem over in South Africa:

Best of the Web: FBI file on Jeff Bezos' grandfather, a DARPA co-founder, has been destroyed

What's not widely known is that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' grandfather, Lawrence Preston Gise, helped form the Pentagon's supersecret Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA — renamed DARPA) in 1958. Years later, DARPA developed the internet and spurred breakthroughs in high-speed networking, voice recognition, and internet search.

One year before Gise died in 1995, Bezos founded Amazon in the garage of his Bellevue, Washington home.

AI is rapidly taking over Humanity

"It's everywhere" now.

We are sliding rapidly into dystopia even before the global holocaust predicted in the Apocalypse (Book of Revelation) has hit. Usually movies present dystopia as arriving after the world is wiped out in a nuclear holocaust, an asteroid impact, a global pandemic of something far worse than China Syndrome (my current name for Covid). But here are two stories in the news below that tell of how we're sliding into techno-dystopia and one story that gives some hope that the non-elite people who populate the bulk of this world are resisting some of the techno takeover.

In the first story, we read how AI has already broadly invaded major media and kicked humans out. It is practically a sweep across numerous major publications already. AdVon is an AI content monster that became infamous when it replaced many of the human writers at Sports Illustrated. The article listed below says the writers who are left are mostly tasked with just polishing the AI's boots so they don't leave such a machine footprint all over the place. You know: make the story sound like it was written by a human being because, while AI can write insta-stories about any subjects you throw at it, they tend to sound repetitive and not quite human.

Riot police shut down 'mostly peaceful' anti-genocide protesters after 'masked group' join at university in the Netherlands

amsterdam gaza protest
© REUTERS/Piroschka van de Wouw/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights[3/3] Students and employees of the University of Amsterdam take part in a march against the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in Gaza and the University leadership after police broke up a student protest camp overnight, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, May 7, 2024.
The University of Amsterdam on Monday said it would remain closed for two days after police moved in to end a pro-Palestinian protest at one of its campuses earlier on the day.


Comment: It's probably incorrect to say that this is a 'pro-Palestine protest', because these protests are clearly a response to Israel's genocide in Gaza, and the demands are for divestment from Israeli businesses as a means to halt the slaughter.


The university's board said it had cancelled all classes on Tuesday and Wednesday and would close all buildings as it said it could not guarantee safety for those on campus.

The university has been the scene of violent clashes between protesters and riot police three times in the past week, as activists who demand that the university cuts all ties with Israeli institutions blocked and occupied campuses.

Comment: For insight into the agent provocateurs at the US protests:


Meanwhile 'protesters' at a border crossing in Israel, who have been blocking, vandalising, and destroying the aid deliveries, for months now, have been mostly free to do as they please:

Hundreds of cops flee California to Texas blaming Golden State's 'soft-on-crime' policies that made their jobs feel 'pointless'

Ray Bottenfield, a former Santa Monica College Police Captain who retired to Hewitt, Texas, says it has become increasingly difficult to retain or recruit officers in California due to lack of support from the state. Pictured here receiving the Medal of Valor from Barack Obama in 2016
Hundreds of California cops are fleeing to Texas to escape 'soft-on-crime' policies they say have made their jobs 'pointless', DailyMail.com can reveal.

Rank-and-file officers up to department chiefs have hit out at state legislators, claiming a succession of 'anti-law enforcement' policies have made their work impossible.

Overworked and unsupported, they have instead taken up jobs in Texas and other states that are seen as tough on crime.

Evan Leona, 38, who ditched his job as a detective in a multi-agency gang unit in Fresno, California, to work for Denton Police in Texas, in 2022, said he had met 'more than a hundred officers' in the Dallas / Fort Worth area who had fled California.

'There are five officers who have come from various agencies in California on my shift alone in Denton,' he told DailyMail.com. 'The justice system just works a lot better here.'

UK: Mother loses High Court battle with ex over whether 16-year-old daughter should be allowed 'gender-changing' drugs

A mother has lost a High Court battle with her ex-husband over whether their daughter should be allowed to receive medication from private clinics to change gender under the age of 18.

The woman disagreed with her former partner that their 16-year-old, who identifies as male, should be allowed to be prescribed cross-sex hormones by private doctors. She rejected the idea that 16-year-olds had the mental capacity to decide to take hormones that could leave them infertile.

But this week, after a two-year legal fight, Mrs Justice Judd ruled she could not 'override' the 16-year-old's consent to be given gender treatment by regulated doctors in the UK.
