@newscomauHQ 1. Condolences to teacher’s family and students.
2. In this new world these pranks should be now outlawed.
3. News services should be forced to preface story with location/country. No more cortisol producing sensationalism. Swap it out for solemnity it deserves. Tragedy.

I'm not a fan of endless viral infections, funnily enough.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Then came the moment that brought the house down.

Kennedy recalled a behind-the-scenes meeting with food industry executives. What he told his team beforehand? It became the soundbite heard around the country.

“When I went in a few months or about a month ago to meet with food companies, I was talking with my staff about these petroleum-based dyes.”

Then came the line that ignited the entire HHS auditorium:

“I said if they want to add petroleum, if they want to eat petroleum, they ought to add it themselves at home. But they shouldn’t be feeding it to the rest of us.”

🔥 The crowd lit up.

He didn’t stop there.

“Without our knowledge or consent.”

Then, like a general declaring war, he laid out the next phase of the mission:

“We are going to get rid of the dyes and then one by one we’re going to get rid of every ingredient and additive in food that we can legally address.”

This wasn’t just a policy update. It was a declaration of war on the toxic garbage filling America’s grocery shelves. And judging by the reaction, it hit its target.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

It started with an announcement that would change everything.

From the podium at HHS headquarters in Washington D.C., FDA Commissioner Marty Makary made it official: the United States will fully phase out petroleum-based food dyes by the end of next year.

A policy many thought was impossible—now etched in to history.

And for the MAHA movement, it’s a defining victory.

Makary stepped forward with a dose of honesty that’s been missing in public health for decades.

“There is no one ingredient that accounts for the child chronic disease epidemic,” he began.

“And let’s be honest. Taking petroleum-based food dyes out of the food supply is not a silver bullet that will instantly make America’s children healthy. But it is one important step.”

He didn’t sugarcoat the crisis.

“This administration is not interested in continuing down the path of doing the same old things as we watch our nation’s children get sicker. We need fresh new approaches.”

Makary called out the alarming spike in cancer and diabetes in kids—conditions that used to be unheard of.

“Cancer and diabetes in young people is going up at an alarming rate and nobody seems to know why. We have to turn our attention to underlying causes such as chemicals and toxins that children are exposed to. Not just more insulin and chemotherapy.”

Then came the truth bomb that drew murmurs across the room:

“And let’s not forget that the best way to lower drug prices is to stop taking drugs we don’t need.”

He said the quiet part out loud—and then he laid out the FDA’s plan:

“Number 1: Establishing a national standard and timeline for the food industry to transition from petroleum-based food dyes to natural alternatives.”

“Number 2: Initiating a process to revoke authorization of synthetic food colorings—including those not in production, namely Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B—within the coming weeks.”

“And number 3: Taking steps to eliminate the remaining six synthetic dyes from the U.S. food supply—specifically Red Dye No. 40, Yellow Dye No. 5, Yellow Dye No. 6, Blue Dye No. 1, Blue Dye No. 2, and Green Dye No. 3—by the end of next year.”

The crowd knew what they were witnessing: a system finally cracking open—and exposing the truth.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Kennedy closed with something rare in government: momentum—and a plan to win.

The tide is officially turning for MAHA.

He didn’t just announce the end of petroleum dyes. He declared the beginning of something much bigger.

“It’s not the time to stop, it’s the time to redouble your efforts because we have them on the run now, and we are going to win this battle,” he said.

“Four years from now we’re going to have most of these products off the market, or you will know about them when you go in the grocery store.”

[Audience ignites]

Then came the moment that connected it all—from toxic ingredients to national strength to the American dream.

“Finally and most importantly I want to thank President Trump. President Trump often says that he is going to make America great again. He knows he cannot make our country great again, if our country is weak, if we’re not healthy. If we don’t have vigor. If we’re not a robust people.”

“He says he will restore the American dream and a healthy person has a thousand dreams. The sick person only has one. And right now there is 60% of people in this country who have only one dream.”

“If they can make it through a day without pain, with energy, without having to take medications. And we are going to change that for our country.”

Kennedy wrapped it all with a promise—one that signals a new era for the FDA and the people it serves:

“I want to thank the moms and thank President Trump for his confidence in my leadership, and for allowing me to surround myself with such an extraordinary team of scientists who are going to restore transparency to this agency.”

“We’re going to restore gold-standard science, so we know what’s in our food and we can eliminate it.”

And just like that, the war on toxic food had its shot heard ‘round the world.

I dont care what turns out the truth….. I just want to know (also)….

[Seán Ono Lennon @seanonolennon]

I am completely dispassionate about covid and vaccines. I am quadruple vaxxed myself. That may turn out to have some complications, and it may not. I made my choice for personal reasons (my mother is 92). It is an interesting topic. That's all. But calling anyone an 'anti vaxxer' or 'extreme right' because of questioning this stuff to me is a red flag. Being anti vax was THE default view point of EVERY single left wing hippie who raised me in the 70s. It has nothing to do with right or left. Some people think amethyst crystals will heal you. That's their opinion, I don't care.

There is interesting data indicating a possible link between Covid and long term immune responses to other viruses, and there is ALSO interesting data suggesting it could be the vax doing it. Could be neither or both or just one.

I have zero emotional investment either way. People who make this a political issue, or even an emotional issue, are annoying af. We're talking about science and research here, and we should be able to ask questions and cite studies on all sides of all arguments without being shamed or insulted.

Again, I don't care what turns out to be the truth. I just want to know. Covid may have been made by interacting with bats, or by a 14 year old hacker living in the Hollow Earth in a spaceship. The vax may be worse or better than initially claimed. Lord Xenu may or may not be circumcised.

I just want to know, but have no investment in what the answer should be. The fact that people are unable to discuss this without getting upset is basically just goofy on all sides.

There are reasonable and unreasonable people on both the left and the right. My feed is very good evidence of this fact. If you are of the unreasonable persuasion please leave me the fuck alone.

Thank you.

Great persistence. Thank you. My ex was one of the 6007 and also one of the 5% who died from Covid in 2023 in hospital.

My long journey to get the NSW hospital-acquired COVID figures!

I filed a GIPA (Government Information Public Access application) asking the NSW Ministry of Health how many people caught COVID in hospital, and how many had died, on 6th Feb 2023 (GIPA-23/35).

Answer: It would take 140 hours to produce a report showing number of hospital acquired COVID cases. I did not believe this. Surely they had this critical information on hand? I requested an internal review. On 6th July 2023 MoH confirmed “the Ministry does not hold complete and accurate records regarding nosocomial infections acquired in hospitals”.

16th March 2023 the CEC responded to my request for “any correspondence between the NSW Ministry of Health and hospital administrators, health care workers hospital patients or their representatives concerning nosocomial COVID-19”. They answered “Extensive searches by the Infection Prevention and Control team and the Chief Executive’s Office were conducted. However, despite an initial belief that the CEC might have held correspondence that related to your application, after an extensive search it has been established that the CEC does not have any such documents.” I was shocked. The CEC is the body who sets infection control policies for NSW. How could they not know how well their policy is working?

In mid 2023 Greens MLC Amanda Cohn wrote to Health Minister Ryan Park expressing concern about hospital acquire infections. The minister stated in his reply that that “healthcare acquired infections are recorded in the incident management system”. On Oct 2023 I asked for NSW MoH for numbers of hospital acquired COVID-19 (GIPA23/276) as recorded in the system referred to by the Minister. The MoH transferred this request to the CEC. The CEC said it would not be feasible to extract the information from the IMS. I requested a conference and on 24 Jan 2024 I had a Teams meeting with CEC’s Associate Director of Patient Safety Steve Bowden who explained the IMS is largely a free-text database and it would be necessary to manually review 11,000 records to identify those of interest. He said the information I was seeking is available in the MoH’s coded medical records. I explained that I had been directed to the CEC by the MoH and asked Mr Bowden to speak to the Ministry and sort this out. He was not willing to do so. I also expressed my disbelief that the CEC, who is the body responsible for setting infection control guidelines, would not have any correspondence from hospitals about hospital acquired infections and would not know how many HAIs were occurring.

Armed with the exact description of what I needed to ask MoH to provide, on 13 May 2024 I made another GIPA request to MoH, seeking:

"(1) All coded medical records which indicate hospital acquired COVID-19, including at least the date, week or month onset was recorded and whether the record indicates the patient died.
(2) Aggregate numbers of the above by day, week, month or year.
Note: If there is any doubt what information is being sought or you cannot find it, please consult Steve Bowden of the CEC who advised on 10/5/2024 that CEC cannot provide the information we seek because MOH owns it."

Now backed into a corner by CEC having said MoH has the information they previously denied having, the MoH invited me to another conference where I confirmed what I wanted. On 13th June 2024 I was advised they could provide the information but it would take 31 hours to produce it and would cost $930. Another barrier which is contrary to “freedom of information”.

Finally, on 17th September 2024 (18 months after my initial request) I received the decision with the data I had asked for. The summary is that in 2023 there were 6007 hospital acquired cases of COVID-19 and 5% of these people died in hospital (cause of death not shown).

This suggests that about 1 in 7 people who died from COVID in the last year in NSW caught it in hospital.

Bookmark to practice any time you need to self regulate.

The vagus nerve is a bundle of nerves that goes from the brain stem to every major organ.

It regulates our autonomic nervous system.

We can access vagus nerve stimulation through our ears. Using your finger pull down with medium pressure. Then do some gentle circular motions. Repeat on both sides.

Notice how calm your entire body feels afterwards. How your thoughts are less racing. If you get the urge to yawn, or cry, or release your jaw— do it. This is your nervous system releasing sympathetic energy.

And yes, this is why q-tips feel so good.
