The potentially deadly streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is spreading at a record pace this year, NHK has reported
Cases of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS), a condition caused by a potentially deadly "flesh-eating" disease, are spreading at a record pace in Japan, public broadcaster NHK reported on Wednesday.

Japan's National Institute of Infectious Diseases has recorded about 801 cases of STSS this year, as of May 5. The figure is nearly three times higher than the infections recorded in the same period last year. In the first three months of this year alone Japan reported over 500 cases of STSS, data showed.

The syndrome, which has a fatality rate of up to 30%, happens when the infection spreads throughout the body. The bacterium has been dubbed 'flesh-eating' for causing necrosis of limbs and multiple organ failures, experts say. The symptoms caused by STSS include sore throat, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargy. Clinicians warn that infections can occur via open wounds.

Comment: They've risen since the lockdowns were eased, which was around the same time the Covid injections were rolled out...

Notably, Japan is one of the countries that has also reported a surge in cancer diagnoses in recent years. And one of Japan's most senior oncologists has tied this, and a variety of other illnesses, to the roll out of the experimental covid injections.

Could it be that this is yet another harm associated with them? It certainly seems to correspond with the damage the injections have been causing:

It's now official: the highly pathogenic bird flu A(H5N1) that's been spreading across the globe since 2020 has now been passed from a cow to a dairy farmer in the US, the first confirmed cow-to-human transmission of this virus on record.

The good news is the case was caught quickly - and the virus manifested as inflammation in the eye, rather than any type of upper respiratory infection. So the chances of it having been passed on to anyone else, if human-to-human transmission is even yet possible, are lower.

What's more, after nervously watching it spread through poultry and wild animals, we've now got some solid data on how the bird flu presents in humans, which should help experts in assessing the threat to public health - and in identifying more cases if and when they appear.

Comment: It seems that this current 'outbreak' and transmission could have been avoided through basic animal welfare and hygiene practices. Moreover, with the US (and UK) knowingly polluting their water table, ill health and outbreaks seems to be a rather predictable consequence: Tyson Foods dumps 87 BILLION gallons of toxic waste, including cyanide, blood and feces into US rivers and lakes in just 4 years

That said, one must also bear in mind that the US has also been involved in a legion of sinister biowarfare experiments, that includes everything from smallpox to birdflu, for decades now. And, as the WEF and its partners have announced, they're expecting a 'disease-X' scenario any day now:

When COVID-19 took the world by storm in early 2020, I mostly relied on reading Nature Medicine, The Lancet, and a few other medical journals to learn the latest on this new disease.

In March 2020, I read an article published in Nature Medicine titled "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2" with great interest. Written by California-based Scripps Institute's Kristian Andersen and four other well-known professors, it said SARS-CoV-2 binds to human cells much better than any computer programs predicted, and concluded that "SARS-CoV-2 is not the product of purposeful manipulation."

Having been a scientist with the world's largest vaccine company for more than 10 years, I took issue with this claim.

In a May 2022 commentary titled "Pandemic Lessons Learned Scientific Debate Silenced, With Deadly Consequences:" I wrote:
"If SARS-CoV-2 infects people better than your computer predicts, then the only conclusion you can draw is that your computer sucks. How did these world-renowned scientists get the basic logic so wrong? And how did the prestigious publication Nature Medicine not catch that? Did anyone even read the paper before publishing it, not to mention peer review it?"

Researchers of a 73-page paper followed data from recent decades, mainly focusing on 2010 to 2018.

Banning cellphones in schools improved academics, reduced bullying, and reduced students' need for counseling, a 73-page Norwegian paper found.

Girls benefited the most from the policies.

"Banning smartphones significantly decreases the health care take-up for psychological symptoms and diseases among girls," Sara Sofie Abrahamsson, a postdoctoral researcher and the paper's sole author, wrote in the abstract. "Post-ban bullying among both genders decreases."

Comment: There seems little doubt that smart phones have a net negative effect on children, not the least of which is their potential for distraction. It's perfectly reasonable to ban them during school hours. And the idea that children need to be able to be in touch with their parents 24 hours per day should really be questioned. In the old days (i.e. not even 20 years ago), kids would tell their parents what happened in school when they got home.

As we age, muscle mass gradually declines, and with it, sometimes cognitive function. But recent research suggests drinking coffee may help.

Enjoying a cup of joe can offer more than just a pick-me-up: It has been shown to have numerous health benefits, especially for older people. Research has found that the natural molecule in coffee, trigonelline, can help improve sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and maintain muscle function during aging.

Muscle mass and function gradually decline as we age, potentially leading to sarcopenia. This can hinder mobility and even result in dependence and disability. The hallmarks of sarcopenia include a decline in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels and mitochondrial dysfunction.

I'm an Herbalist, and This Is My Secret Herb for Pain-Free Aging

As we age — and I'm talking from experience — we have to take special care of ourselves. We often need to change our diet. Exercise is oh so important. We also need to avoid accidents. As one of my friends said when he turned 60, "No more using chainsaws and no more climbing in trees, and especially, no more climbing in trees with chainsaws."

Even small injuries can be devastating because we don't recover as quickly, but also because — and I have seen this too many times — loss of mobility leads to inability to exercise, and that can rapidly age a person. We also don't want to be in pain. Worst of all, we don't want to rely on the chronic use of painkillers.

As we age, we tend to "dry up, burn up, or melt," as a friend said. Our connective tissues — bones, tendons, ligaments, joints, skin, and hair — are especially prone to drying up, so we have to keep them moistened and nourished (since food is broken down and travels as fluid through the body).

Systematic Review Reveals Many COVID-19 Vaccine Recipients Experienced New-Onset Psychosis

Only half of the patients analyzed in the review fully recovered, with the remaining half suffering from 'residual symptoms.'

Individuals who took COVID-19 vaccines were found to have later suffered from psychosis, with Pfizer and AstraZeneca shots linked to most of the cases.

The peer-reviewed systemic review, published in the Frontiers in Psychiatry journal on April 12, examined cases of new-onset psychosis among people who took the vaccines. Psychosis refers to symptoms that occur when an individual has difficulty differentiating between reality and fantasy, with hallucinations and delusions being two key types. The review looked at 21 articles describing 24 cases of psychosis symptoms following vaccination. The researchers concluded that "data suggest a potential link between young age, mRNA, and viral vector vaccines with new-onset psychosis within 7 days post-vaccination."

Comment: See also: RNA Vaccines, Obedience and Eugenics by the late SOTT editor, Pierre Lescaudron
There one finds possible explanations for the above observations. Without quoting the whole article, but still including enough to give an idea:
Similarities Between Syncytin Genes and RNA Vaccines

Coincidentally or not, the genetic sequence found in Covid RNA vaccines is quite similar to the genetic sequence coding for syncytin:
Now you've got PEG, PEGylated and polyethylene glycol, and a lipid nanoparticle that will allow it to enter every cell of the body and change the regulation of our own genes with this synthetic RNA, part of which actually is the message for the gene syncytin.15
This point is confirmed by a comparison between the genetic sequences of HERV-W (the endoretrovirus coding for syncytin) and the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 that codes for the spike protein since the RNA contained in the Pfizer "vaccine" is a very close replica of this sequence:
[...] alignment of the endogenous elements Syn1 [syncytin-1] found on human chromosome 7, or Syn2 [syncytin-2] found on chromosome 6, or HERV-K expressed from chromosome 6, all show a number of sequence motifs with significant similarity to nCoV2019 spike protein.16
In fact, the stereochemistry19 of some regions of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 (and the RNA "vaccine") and syncytin-2 protein (coded by the viral sequence of HERV-K) are nearly identical, as shown in the illustration below:
[ ...]
The Role of Syncytin in The Brain

It has been observed in animal studies that SARS-CoV-2 crosses the blood-brain barrier24, and therefore it's probable that the homologous protein coded by the "vaccine" does too.

Maybe that's the reason for the high prevalence of neurological conditions in vaccinated people. As of August 2021, in the UK alone, there were more than 220,000 reported adverse effects affecting the nervous system (Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Bell's palsy, dementia, multiple sclerosis, etc). Keep in mind that only 1 to 10% of adverse effects are reported. These adverse effects represented 70% of all the reported symptoms:
[...]
Interestingly, the syncytin protein (coded by ERVW-1), plays an important role in brain activity:
"mRNA and protein expression of the ERVW-1 locus in neural tissue is implicated in neurodegeneration"25
Not only are ERVW-1 and its protein syncytin correlated with neurodegeneration, it is also suspected that defects in ERVW-1 lead specifically to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia:
"Preliminary evidence implicates aberrant expression of ERVW-1 in neuron and glial cells and HERV-W LTR mediated aberrant cellular protein expression in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia"26
If that's the case, we have every reason to be concerned about the unknown long-term effects of the RNA "vaccines". There are already alarming numbers of serious short-term adverse effects in vaccinated people. What will be the long-term adverse reactions, particularly neurological, for these people and their progeny?

Since schizophrenia is a known effect of defective syncytin protein27, and since the RNA vaccine codes for an altered syncytin, it is not surprising to learn about the first documented case of RNA vaccine-induced schizophrenia.28 It was reported in a 31-year-old male with no prior medical or psychiatric history, who suffered from "hallucinations", "talking to dead people", "hearing the constant voice of a co-worker". These symptoms appeared after receiving the first dose of an RNA COVID-19 vaccine and worsened three weeks later after receiving the second dose.29

This case is corroborated by numerous VAERS reports filled out by US doctors and vaccine manufacturers mentioning schizophrenia or the symptoms most commonly associated with this condition:
- Schizophrenia: 13 cases31
- Auditory hallucinations: 91 cases32
- Hallucinations: 792 cases33
- Psychotic disorder: 100 cases34
Schizophrenia or Possession?

For centuries, if not millennia, and right up until the 19th century, schizophrenia was considered a result of 'demon possession' or 'evil spirits'.35 The only remedy was exorcism. With the advent of modern psychiatry, schizophrenia has been attributed to more material causes such as genetics, biology and experience.

However, during the past few decades, a growing body of scientific literature36,37,38 has been re-exploring the explanation that prevailed for centuries, and serious consideration is being given to the idea that schizophrenia, at least in some cases, is just another word for actual demonic possession:

Covid Vaccines
Having more vaccine doses leads to more Covid infections, a major study has found.

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, USA, monitored over 47,500 employees for Covid infections during the first four months of 2024, when the JN.1 virus lineage was dominant. They found that being vaccinated increased infection risk by 46% with two doses, 95% with three doses and 151% with more than three doses, when compared to having zero or one dose

Sure they can - if they are forced to, but the more important question is - Should they?!

In the current state of affairs in our society there is ever increasing trend to blatantly ignore basic facts of nature in order to fit different forms of misguided agendas. This trend is often justified by so called scientific research. However a deeper look into scientific methods employed to justify these agendas inevitably reveals some fundamental flaws.

Basic Facts

Dr. Connor Brady succinctly puts it:
Most canine nutritionists agree the dog is, to a very large extent, a meat, organ and bone eater. An adaptabe, opportunistic, scavenging predator. A whole-animal eater. A carcass-finding machine. A long-distance-hunting machine. Our article on why dogs need meat goes through all the evidence that supports this stance:

From tooth to tail, the dog has the anatomy of a meat eater, with jagged teeth, short, fast, acidic guts, bacterial flora ill-equipped to break down plant fibre breakdown

Studies of their closest relatives (Dingo's, which were domestic dogs only 3,000 years ago) reveals a diet comprising of 97% animal matter

Stuides show dogs will eat literally anything with a face, from small mammals to birds to frogs to insects to carcass and faeces, though they are no longer able to bring down large quarry

There is confusion in the diet studies as village dogs are fed plant material as pups and these dogs will go on to select plant material when older, however feral dogs do not. We have know for years that dogs can be targetted on to various proteins from a young age, it says nothing of it's suitabilty to long term health.

AstraZeneca just pulled their Covid jab....why?

AstraZeneca Jabs Withdrawn

British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is halting production and supply of their Covid19 "vaccine". The news was announced yesterday, following the European Medicines Agency declaration that the shot would no longer be cleared for use.

The official story right now is that it has been superseded by "updated" vaccines.

In its statement, AZ said:
"As multiple, variant Covid-19 vaccines have since been developed there is a surplus of available updated vaccines [...] According to independent estimates, over 6.5 million lives were saved in the first year of use alone and over 3bn doses were supplied globally."
The "lives saved" estimate is an interesting one, repeated all over the place despite making almost no sense (but that's a fact-check for another time).

More interesting is that neither AZ's official statement nor the write up in the Guardian mentions the ongoing civil action seeking damages in excess of £100 million for those who suffered the "rare side effects" of the vaccine.

In fact, just last week the Telegraph reported that, in court documents, AstraZeneca admitted their vaccine caused thrombotic thrombocytopenia in some people (allegedly 2-3 out of 100,000).
