Can someone PLEASE tell me why vaccine companies get to test new jabs for new indications not against placebo, or even adjuvanted saline, but against older shots for different diseases to generate safety data?
Where is the placebo control in this design? How is this ethical?
People stopped vaccinating for many reasons:
Some stopped because they had a vaccine injury.
Some stopped because vaccine risk outweighs benefit.
And some stopped because they don’t trust the system anymore.
All valid reasons.
Many patients susceptible to chronic illness and vaccine injuries share one common trait: joint hypermobility (EDS).
In my practice, I see this link constantly. Here I explain why it happens and how to treat it.

Swiss farmers planted flowers between their crops and watched pest damage drop by over half. The UK is now running the same trial across 15 farms. The reason this works is embarrassingly simple.
A Swiss study on winter wheat found that fields with wildflower strips had 40 to 53% fewer leaf beetle pests than fields without. Crop damage dropped 61%.
The mechanism is simple. Wildflowers feed hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, ladybugs, and ground beetles. Those insects eat the aphids, beetle larvae, and caterpillars that farmers would otherwise spray for. A few meters of wildflowers hosts an unpaid pest control crew that would jump at the chance to whoop some aphid ass.
In apple orchards where no insecticides had been used for five years, plots with wildflower alleyways had 9.2% damaged fruit. Control plots without flowers had 32.5%.
The UK is now running a five-year trial across 15 farms placing 6-meter flower strips through the middle of fields, not just at the edges, because the beneficial insects can't reach the center of a large field otherwise.
This works the same way in a backyard vegetable garden as it does on a commercial farm. Plant native flowering species near your tomatoes, beans, and squash. The pests still show up, but the predators show up too.

The mosquitoes chewing you up in your yard this summer are looking for a place to lay their eggs. You should give them one. And make it lethal.
Female mosquitoes hunt for dark, stagnant water with a little organic matter in it to lay their eggs. A dark bucket half-filled with water and a handful of grass clippings is exactly what they're looking for.
The trick is what you add next: a Bti dunk, a donut-shaped tablet of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, which is a naturally occurring bacteria that kills mosquito larvae.
Here's how it works. When larvae hatch and start feeding, they ingest the proteins the Bti produces along with the organic matter. Those proteins activate in the larval gut, rupture it, and the larva dies before it can develop into an adult.
No fish, birds, dragonflies, or beneficial insects are impacted. The dunk keeps producing those proteins for about 30 days before it needs replacing. Just top off the water as needed.
One study in Puerto Rico found that homes deploying two to three or more traps saw the strongest reduction in mosquito populations, enough that researchers recommended sharing the approach with neighbors, since a single treated yard surrounded by untreated ones limits how much the trap can accomplish.
The setup: dark bucket, half full of water, handful of grass clippings or dried leaves, one Bti dunk. Shaded corner near shrubs or a fence. Refresh the dunk monthly. Cover with hardware cloth to prevent animals from falling in and drowning.
Set up two or three if you can, and talk your neighbors into doing the same. Total cost: around $5 per bucket. Total chemicals released into your yard: zero.

A Muslim man has been arrested on hate crime charges for attacking a Christian woman in Portland, Oregon.
Mahamat Noh, 32, allegedly assaulted the woman after taking issue with her cross necklace. His roommates told police Noh becomes irate whenever he sees a Christian. Read: https://t.co/Hi6g6iOqe1
My patience for people's endless conspiracy theorizing without presenting any evidence is gone. The "who killed Charlie Kirk" insanity, the Epstein maniacs, the Israel obsessives. So many people are injecting sewage into our discourse and I'm exhausted.
I’ve lost count of the messages I’ve had from detransitioners, mostly girls, detailing outcomes just as bad and sometimes worse. A high proportion are abuse survivors and/or have a history of poor mental health. Now they struggle with physical issues impossible to resolve.

Carlos Whittaker did a 7.5-week no-screen experiment and the results are wild.
No phone. No TV. No laptop. No watch. Nothing. He even got his brain scanned before and after by a neuroscientist.
The outcome? His cerebellum healed years worth of damage in just seven weeks. His cognitive memory score jumped from the 50th percentile to the 99th percentile of adult men in America. He said he felt like a completely different human, sharper, clearer, more alive.
This one stopped me in my tracks. I’ve been feeling the scroll fatigue hard lately, and hearing someone actually measure the difference with real brain scans is next-level motivating.
Our constant screen exposure might be doing more quiet damage to our brains than we realize. Sometimes the simplest reset (doing less) creates the biggest upgrade.
Have you ever done a serious digital detox? Would you try one this extreme?
That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.
Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.
The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.
Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.
Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.
The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.
A sergeant yelled at one of his soldiers, "Why did you blow your cover, and run out of the bushes?"
"Sorry, sir. I didn't move when the dog peed on me. I didn't move when a snake crawled over me."
Sergeant: "Then what happened?"
"Well sir, two squirrels ran up my pants, and one said, 'Lets eat one now, and save the other for winter! That's when I lost it!"
I am ten years off of all psychiatric drugs this week, after being polydrugged by psychiatry for 25 years.
Here’s what I want to say:
To my ex treating psychiatrist, who diagnosed me with “bipolar” disorder when I was in the middle of acute benzo withdrawal, then a few months later, threw up his hands in exasperation at me and said “I don’t know what to do with you Ali. These drugs work for everybody else,” and then scheduled me for ECT….
You lied. The year that you said that to me I found out later you had two of your patients take their own lives. You are ignorant and dangerous and I proved you wrong.
To my ex treating therapist, Dr. P., who saw me for years, knew the physical abuse I endured, the chaos, the family history of wife and child abuse and all of the infidelities, and yet, somehow disguised me with “genetic mental illness,” and made me repeat after her: “My name is Ali. I have a genetic mental illness that will require medication for the rest of my life,” even though I told you the drugs made me feel weird. When I told her I was trying to come off of the drugs and treat it more holistically she laughed me and said that was just silly.
You were wrong, you are ignorant, and you are also harmful.
You both pulled me into an underworld of disconnection, soul crushing pain for decades.
May karma find you both in a dark alley.
Scientists mapped a piece of brain the size of half a grain of rice.
One-millionth the size of the human brain.
It took them a year and over 1.4 million gigabytes to scan it.
They found over 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, and even some new structures they didn't know existed.
Mapping the entire human brain in this level of detail would require all the data storage generated on Earth in a year + a 140-acre data center.
But the human brain itself can hold up to ~2.5 million gigabytes of information - enough for ~3 million hours of HD video or 342 years of continuous viewing.
It can process roughly 10 quadrillion calculations per second - enough processing power to run over 4,000 high-end gaming PCs all operating at peak ability.
And it only runs on the amount of power needed for a single dim light bulb.
No technology even comes close to doing what the brain can do.
The more we learn about biology, the more complex it becomes.
This is God's Glory on display.
There is decades of evidence antidepressants cause mass shootings. From the start, clinical trials showed SSRIs caused psychotic violence and suicides but industry hid it until lawsuits revealed it.
This article shows just how far the FDA went to bury it
