(LifeSiteNews - [slightly adapted - not all hyperlinks included from original]) — A Florida archbishop said that Catholic schools should not allow for religious exemptions to vaccination in defiance of the state attorney general’s warning that Catholic schools may be barred from state-funded scholarships.

Earlier this month, Republican state Attorney General, James Uthmeier, a Catholic, wrote a letter to the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops advising them that schools must provide under Florida law religious exemptions from vaccination requirements if a parent has a religious objection to a vaccine. He warned them that Catholic schools may be disqualified from state-funded scholarships and vouchers due to their denial of vaccine religious exemptions.

On Monday, Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami published an op-ed in the Miami Herald in which he ironically insisted that Uthmeier’s challenge to their policy “intrudes upon our religious freedom.”

“The state cannot disqualify Catholic schools from the scholarship program merely because a state official’s understanding of Church teachings differ from that of the bishops,” Wenski wrote. He maintained, however, that a Catholic school may disqualify a student from admission because their understanding of Church teachings differs from that of the bishops.

Wenski claimed that Catholic schools do not grant religious exemptions for student vaccinations “because the vaccines as presently developed and administered do not violate Church teachings.”

Some Catholics oppose the use of certain vaccines on moral grounds because they were developed using cell lines derived from the tissue of aborted babies. The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) teaches that Catholics have a “general moral duty to refuse the use of medical products, including certain vaccines, that are produced using human cells lines derived from direct abortions” as part of its Vaccine Exemption Template Letter.

Uthmeier has pointed out that, because abortion violates the right to life of the unborn, “the Catholic Church has historically encouraged the faithful to abstain from the use of vaccines produced from aborted fetal tissue, while at the same time recognizing the moral permissibility of using such vaccines in certain circumstances.”

Several vaccines required for school entry are developed using aborted babies’ tissue. Rubella-containing vaccines were developed using the WI-38 cell line; chickenpox vaccines were developed using cell lines derived from aborted babies, including WI-38 and MRC-5; and the viruses of Hepatitis A vaccines can be grown in these baby cell lines. The Florida Department of Health currently lists two doses of MMR and two doses of chickenpox vaccines among the routine school immunization requirements.

According to Wenski, parents who desire vaccine religious exemptions due to the use of aborted babies’ tissue in their development should simply not be permitted to attend Catholic schools.

“The Church does not force or coerce parents to vaccinate their child. No one must go to a Catholic school,” the archbishop wrote. “At the same time, we do try to accommodate those children whose physician indicates that a medical exemption is necessary.”

As Uthmeier noted, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has stated that “practical reason makes evident that vaccination is not, as a general rule, a moral obligation.”

“But even if abortion-derived vaccines may be permissible to take, Church teaching also recognizes that no one should be forced to take a vaccine ‘if it would violate the sanctity of his or her conscience,’” Uthmeier added in his letter.

Wenski was the first U.S. bishop to publicly receive a COVID-19 shot. After the COVID-19 outbreak, he posted to his Instagram account two pictures of himself receiving the abortion-tainted Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot. The Pfizer shot was tested on the cells of aborted babies.

There are compelling moral arguments being presented by bishops and priests as to why it is morally illicit to receive a vaccine connected to the use of aborted children’s tissue.

Fr. Michael Copenhagen, in his article “Restore Ye to its Owners: On the Immorality of Receiving Vaccines Derived from Abortion,” begins by highlighting the issue, in these vaccines, of the theft and desecration of human remains.

He brings up Scripture’s story of Tobit, who “insisted on honoring God and neighbor by burying the dead at a time when the desecration of their remains was the state mandate. For this great deed, he was forced to flee and placed under a sentence of death.”

Dr. Copenhagen points out that the human remains involved in vaccines have likewise been desecrated through exploitation and trafficking, that “labeling human remains obtained through violence as ‘illicit biological material’ is not only insufficient but dehumanizing and offensive.”

Also, because the cells belong to the child, who has been “silenced,” and “the parents have forfeited by abortion any right of consent to respectful scientific use of the body, the scientists and patent holders have no right to possess or use the cells: these human remains belong to God, must be respectfully reposed.” Therefore, the remains of the child have been stolen, and our “distance” from this act does not negate moral complicity in taking a vaccine involving their exploitation.]]> Florida archbishop tells state that Catholic schools will continue to mandate vaccines

Assistant professor Brian Hie, pictured on the left with a colleague, said of the work "this was new territory for us"

BBC | August 6, 2026


Artificial Intelligence has been used to design brand new viruses that are fully functional and can replicate in the laboratory, say US researchers.

It is the first time whole genomes have been successfully designed by AI.

The resulting 16 novel viruses were created to infect bacteria and pose no threat to people.

The breakthrough has been labelled a "very significant turning point" in science that could unlock a new era for treating disease. But experts have also warned AI-designed viruses raise "urgent" safety and security concerns.

AI tools are rapidly advancing and have already been used to design new antibiotics.

But that is relatively simple compared with designing a new viable virus from scratch.

"This is a next step in the complexity that's designable by generative AI, this is the first time generative AI has been used to design a complete genome, it's something that can replicate and have other functions inside cells… this was new territory for us," Brian Hie, assistant professor at Stanford University, told the BBC.

The technology works similarly to large language models, like ChatGPT, which predict sequences of text.

In this instance the AI models, known as Evo1 and Evo2, predict the language of life rather than words.

The AI models were trained on genetic codes from viruses, bacteria, plants and people.

They were then refined to produce a type of virus, known as a bacteriophage, which infect only specific species of bacteria.

The AI models were trained on genetic codes from viruses, bacteria, plants and people

The Stanford researchers picked the most promising 302 AI designs and synthesised them in the lab. Of these, 16 proved effective at killing E. coli bacteria.

Samuel King, a PhD student in the lab, said they realised the phage were working in the early hours of the morning.

The phage were placed on petri dishes growing a layer of bacteria on them and the scientists waited for signs their new viruses were enjoying the feast.

"We were starting to see these clear spots and it was just extremely exciting," says King. When the results were shared with the wider team "the room spontaneously burst into applause", Hie recalls.

Developing new phage could lead to new ways of treating infections that have become resistant to antibiotics.

Phage therapy is seen as a potential solution to the rising tide of bacterial infections that cannot be treated with antibiotics
But the breakthrough also points to the ability of AI to design new biology that goes beyond the natural world – what is known as synthetic biology.

Hie argues this has the potential to "massively improve human health" by developing new drugs and therapies.

But concerns have already been raised that the same technology could be used maliciously to create new diseases.

In a commentary accompanying the publication in the journal Science, Dr Thomas Inglesby and Dr Moritz Hanke from the Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins University wrote that the findings raise "urgent biosafety and biosecurity questions".

They said it was no longer a question of "whether generative viral genome design will exist" but whether it can be used without "enabling serious harm".

For example, they said new viruses with the potential to cause disease "should not be pursued".

The researchers themselves took steps to maximise safety. They excluded viruses that could infect complex organisms from the training database, performed the research on phage rather than viruses that infect people and it all took place in a secure laboratory.

Hie argues even existing safeguards go a long way towards "ensuring that the technology is used for good".


From computers bits to atoms

Viruses are not alive and it would take another significant leap for AI to generate living organisms.

The genetic code of the phage is around 5,400 base pairs (letters) long. The smallest genome of a living cell is around 500,000 base pairs. The human genome is three billion base pairs.

Hie says "it would probably be a lot of work, but not impossible" to attempt some simple organisms and they were "definitely interested in working towards" that.

Prof Marc Güell, from the synthetic biology lab at Pompeu Fabra University in Spain, said the study was a "very significant turning point" because for the "first time in history, we are beginning to design biology on a computer".

He said it "allows us to dream of exciting possibilities for tackling humanity's greatest challenges" such as developing phages to tackle disease, enzymes to treat genetic disorders and antibodies that could be used in immunotherapy.

Prof Patrick Cai, chair of synthetic genomics at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, said the study was an "important milestone".

"The significance extends far beyond phages – it suggests that genome language models are beginning to learn the design principles encoded by evolution, opening the door to AI-assisted genome writing."]]> Artificial Intelligence used to design brand new viruses

Unconscious Patients Who Were Almost Killed for "Parts"

Dr. Paul Byrne is a pediatrician and neonatologist from Toledo, Ohio who early in his career pioneered the development of ventilators and other medical devices tailored to children born pre-term.
He is also a world renowned expert on, and opponent of, “brain death” for determining actual death, and has spoken and testified in numerous venues including several courts of law and the Vatican. So, Dr Paul is the perfect mix of pediatrician and brain death expert to help us understand two recent situations, including his personal intervention for the parents of Jahi–the 13 year-old California girl who had cardiac arrest during a tonsillectomy and was declared brain dead by hospital staff. But her parents challenged their diagnosis, and with assistance from Dr Byrne, were able to have Jahi transferred to a medical facility that would insert a feeding tube to prevent starvation.

Larry Black was a 22-year-old patient in SSM Health St. Louis University Hospital, admitted after being shot in the head on March 24, 2019. A week later he was taken to surgery to have his organs removed for donation. The problem was that his heart was still beating, and he had not been declared brain dead. Just as the team was getting ready to operate, Dr. Zhony Zohny - Black’s doctor – came running into the room and demanded that the team stop. They did.

Today Black is 28, a musician and the father of three children. He requires physical therapy because he has lingering issues from the gunshot wound. But he is very much alive, and remembers clearly the events leading to his almost-murder.

(Focal Points) — The Bio‑Pharmaceutical Complex is in panic mode.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued a new policy statement calling for the complete elimination of all nonmedical vaccine exemptions for child care and school attendance. That means no religious exemptions, no philosophical exemptions — only medical exemptions granted under tightly controlled conditions.

Why now? Because the vaccine cabal has realized that the public is now aware of the serious and irreversible neurological, developmental, and immune-related health risks associated with childhood hyper-vaccination of inadequately tested products.

A new CDC‑funded national survey by Vasudevan et al has exposed a collapse in parental confidence in the childhood vaccine schedule:

  • Only ~40% of pregnant participants and parents of young children said they would accept all recommended vaccines on schedule.
  • About 60% planned to delay, refuse, or were undecided about one or more routine childhood vaccines.
  • One‑third (33%) of parents of young children already refuse some or all vaccines outright.
  • Nearly half (48%) of first‑time pregnant women are undecided about vaccinating their baby at all.
This is why the vaccine cabal is scrambling to slam the door shut on choice — they know if freedom remains, vaccine uptake will continue to crater. Instead of asking why so many parents are rejecting their products, they are doubling down on coercion and mandates.

The public is awake now. The more they push, the more families will resist.

The dangers of mRNA shots are so well documented that 11 states have thus far pursued bans on them.

Apr 30, 2025
(LifeSiteNews) — A Nobel Prize-winning researcher who contributed to mRNA technology has said the gene therapy platform is being explored for “every imaginable infectious disease,” raising health concerns due to the dangers of mRNA shots.

Attorney Tom Renz recently warned that “all the childhood vaccines are going to be gene therapies” and that mRNA is now being integrated “into every vaccine out there,” although LifeSiteNews has not heard back from Renz after inquiring into his claim.

However, PennMedicine’s Dr. Drew Weissmann, who was jointly awarded with Dr. Katalin Karikó the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine for contributing to the modified mRNA technology of Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID “vaccines,” has said regarding this technology, “We’re working on every imaginable infectious disease.”

In addition, when presented with this prediction by Renz, Dr. Peter McCullough pointed LifeSiteNews to a pipeline of many mRNA so-called “vaccines” in development by Moderna. McCullough responded, “Yes, Moderna is one of many mRNA companies with an extensive portfolio of vaccines in development.”

The pharmaceutical company, which produced one of the most widely used mRNA COVID injections – and according to Open VAERS, the deadliest – is now working on a variety of mRNA “vaccines” for the flu, RSV, new variants of COVID, HIV, EBV, Lyme disease, Monkeypox, and many other viruses and diseases, including cancer.

PennMedicine has also listed a wide range of diseases for which mRNA injections are being studied or developed, including “all coronaviruses,” avian bird flu, malaria, genetic diseases, heart attacks, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

This is alarming considering the dangerous track record of mRNA injections. The U.S. federal government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which historically has recorded only a small fraction of vaccine injuries, has as of March 28 reported 38,541 deaths from the COVID shots, higher by far than those reported for any other vaccines since 1990. A total of 1,662,426 adverse events from the COVID shots have also been reported to VAERS.

The Pfizer and Moderna COVID shots, which accounted for most injections, are distinguished from traditional vaccines by their mRNA technology, which did not come to market before the COVID outbreak largely due to safety concerns. In fact, as of May 2020, only one of Moderna’s mRNA candidates had passed Phase 1 trials, and StatNews had noted in 2016 that mRNA-based treatments are “highly risky,” and that “(b)ig pharma companies had tried similar work and abandoned it because it’s exceedingly hard to get RNA into cells without triggering nasty side effects.”

“Novartis abandoned the related realm of RNA interference over concerns about toxicity, as did Merck and Roche,” StatNews continued.

The dangers of mRNA shots are so well documented that 11 states have thus far pursued bans on them.

The mRNA COVID shots are theoretically supposed to work by injecting genetic mRNA material in the body that instructs cells to produce an antigen that in turn triggers an immune response. In the case of the COVID shots, this antigen is a spike protein, to which many doctors and researchers are attributing toxic effects of the mRNA shots.

(LifeSiteNews) — A Nobel Prize-winning researcher who contributed to mRNA technology has said the gene therapy platform is being explored for “every imaginable infectious disease,” raising health concerns due to the dangers of mRNA shots.

Attorney Tom Renz recently warned that “all the childhood vaccines are going to be gene therapies” and that mRNA is now being integrated “into every vaccine out there,” although LifeSiteNews has not heard back from Renz after inquiring into his claim.

However, PennMedicine’s Dr. Drew Weissmann, who was jointly awarded with Dr. Katalin Karikó the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine for contributing to the modified mRNA technology of Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID “vaccines,” has said regarding this technology, “We’re working on every imaginable infectious disease.”

In addition, when presented with this prediction by Renz, Dr. Peter McCullough pointed LifeSiteNews to a pipeline of many mRNA so-called “vaccines” in development by Moderna. McCullough responded, “Yes, Moderna is one of many mRNA companies with an extensive portfolio of vaccines in development.”

The pharmaceutical company, which produced one of the most widely used mRNA COVID injections – and according to Open VAERS, the deadliest – is now working on a variety of mRNA “vaccines” for the flu, RSV, new variants of COVID, HIV, EBV, Lyme disease, Monkeypox, and many other viruses and diseases, including cancer.

PennMedicine has also listed a wide range of diseases for which mRNA injections are being studied or developed, including “all coronaviruses,” avian bird flu, malaria, genetic diseases, heart attacks, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

This is alarming considering the dangerous track record of mRNA injections. The U.S. federal government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which historically has recorded only a small fraction of vaccine injuries, has as of March 28 reported 38,541 deaths from the COVID shots, higher by far than those reported for any other vaccines since 1990. A total of 1,662,426 adverse events from the COVID shots have also been reported to VAERS.

The Pfizer and Moderna COVID shots, which accounted for most injections, are distinguished from traditional vaccines by their mRNA technology, which did not come to market before the COVID outbreak largely due to safety concerns. In fact, as of May 2020, only one of Moderna’s mRNA candidates had passed Phase 1 trials, and StatNews had noted in 2016 that mRNA-based treatments are “highly risky,” and that “(b)ig pharma companies had tried similar work and abandoned it because it’s exceedingly hard to get RNA into cells without triggering nasty side effects.”

“Novartis abandoned the related realm of RNA interference over concerns about toxicity, as did Merck and Roche,” StatNews continued.

The dangers of mRNA shots are so well documented that 11 states have thus far pursued bans on them.

The mRNA COVID shots are theoretically supposed to work by injecting genetic mRNA material in the body that instructs cells to produce an antigen that in turn triggers an immune response. In the case of the COVID shots, this antigen is a spike protein, to which many doctors and researchers are attributing toxic effects of the mRNA shots.

Doctors, including surgeon and cancer drug inventor Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, have explained that these spike proteins are inflammatory and attach to blood vessels with ACE-2 receptors found all throughout the body.

The toxic effects of spike proteins appear to be confirmed by Yale University scientists, who in February published a study linking post-COVID shot illness (“post-vaccination syndrome”) to distinct biomarkers, including elevated levels of circulating spike protein.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been scheming to finalize the Pandemic Treaty to ensure global cohesion during the next pandemic. Over 190 member nations have agreed to surrender sovereignty in the name of public health, permitting an unelected organization of individuals to detail how they will respond to the next round of government imposed biological warfare.

WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who is not a medical doctor but a Klaus Schwab appointee, declared this as a global victory. Interestingly, Schwab resigned as soon as the treaty was finalized. “The nations of the world made history in Geneva today,” Tedros declared. “In reaching consensus on the Pandemic Agreement, not only did they put in place a generational accord to make the world safer, they have also demonstrated that multilateralism is alive and well, and that in our divided world, nations can still work together to find common ground, and a shared response to shared threats.

Schwab and Tedros WHO

The One Health approach defines this treaty, which vaguely recognizes that all life on this planet is connected and therefore, under their rationale, requires a unified approach to problems. The WHO cooperates with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) to form the “Quadripartite” partnership that aims to promote the One Health agenda. The One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP), controlled by the WHO, provides “the science” to guide all mandates.

This treaty provides a group of unelected officials with immense power. There are new financial terms outlined under the new treaty. Manufacturers producing pandemic-related products now must allocate 10% of production to the WHO at no cost, and they must deduce costs by 10% for the WHO as well. Members already pay annual fees to the WHO, but they will now be required to pool funding into a centralized financial mechanism (CFM).

Governments and international organizations will be expected to pay into the CFM. Developed nations will be forced to pay for others as each member has “common but differentiated responsibilities” based on GDP. However, there are discussions that private entities may also be forced to pay to ensure financial preparedness. The funds will be allocated at the direction of the unelected officials at the Quadripartite.

The WHO ensured that there was no transparency during COVID-19. The organization continually protected China at the direction of the Chinese Communist Party, despite the United States being the top donor to the organization. The White House has finally dispelled the COVID narrative perpetuated by “the science” and unelected organizations. They can and will do this again.

As noted by the White House:

Social Distancing: The “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation — which shut down schools and small business across the country — was arbitrary and not based on science. During closed door testimony, Dr. Fauci testified that the guidance “sort of just appeared.”

Mask Mandates: There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19. Public health officials flipped-flopped on the efficacy of masks without providing Americans scientific data — causing a massive uptick in public distrust.

Lockdowns: Prolonged lockdowns caused immeasurable harm to not only the American economy, but also to the mental and physical health of Americans, with a particularly negative effect on younger citizens. Rather than prioritizing the protection of the most vulnerable populations, federal and state government policies forced millions of Americans to forgo crucial elements of a healthy and financially sound life.

The World Health Organization: The WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was an abject failure because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China’s political interests ahead of its international duties. Further, the WHO’s newest effort to solve the problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic — via a “Pandemic Treaty” — may harm the United States.

COVID-19 Misinformation: Public health officials often mislead the American people through conflicting messaging, knee-jerk reactions, and a lack of transparency.  Most egregiously,  the federal government demonized alternative treatments and disfavored narratives, such as the lab leak theory,  in a shameful effort to coerce and control the American people’s health decisions.

When those efforts failed, the Biden Administration resorted to “outright censorship—coercing and colluding with the world’s largest social media companies to censor all COVID-19-related dissent.”

Not a single person has been held responsible for one of the worst humanitarian crises in history. The now former chair of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, repeatedly stated that the pandemic would provide an opportunity for a Great Reset where one global entity will reign supreme. The WEF partnered with Bill Gates to co-host EVENT 201—a mock trial for the COVID-19 pandemic, one year before it began. The world is a stage, and we are the puppets that they control.

Starts and Stripes/Associated Press | January 27, 2025

NEW YORK — U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately.

A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official, John Nkengasong, sent a memo to senior leaders at the agency on Sunday night telling them that all staff who work with the WHO must immediately stop their collaborations and “await further guidance.”

Experts said the sudden stoppage was a surprise and would set back work on investigating and trying to stop outbreaks of Marburg virus and mpox in Africa, as well as brewing global threats. It also comes as health authorities around the world are monitoring bird flu outbreaks among U.S. livestock.

The Associated Press viewed a copy of Nkengasong’s memo, which said the stop-work policy applied to “all CDC staff engaging with WHO through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means — in person or virtual.” It also says CDC staff are not allowed to visit WHO offices.

President Donald Trump last week issued an executive order to begin the process of withdrawing the U.S. from WHO, but that did not take immediate effect. Leaving WHO requires the approval of Congress and that the U.S. meets its financial obligations for the current fiscal year. The U.S. also must provide a one-year notice.

His administration also told federal health agencies to stop most communications with the public through at least the end of the month.

“Stopping communications and meetings with WHO is a big problem,” said Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, a University of Southern California public health expert who collaborates with WHO on work against sexually transmitted infections.

“People thought there would be a slow withdrawal. This has really caught everyone with their pants down,” said Klausner, who said he learned of it from someone at CDC.

“Talking to WHO is a two-way street,” he added, noting that the two agencies benefit from each other’s expertise. The collaboration allows the U.S. to learn about new tests, new treatments and emerging outbreaks — information “which can help us protect Americans abroad and at home,” Klausner said.

The CDC details nearly 30 people to WHO and sends many millions of dollars to it through cooperative agreements. The U.S. agency also has some of the world’s leading experts in infectious diseases and public health threats, and the two agencies’ staffers are in daily contact about health dangers and how to stop them.

The collaboration halt isn’t the only global health effect of Trump’s executive orders. Last week, the president froze spending on another critical program, PEPFAR or the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

The anti-HIV program is credited with saving 25 million lives, including those of 5.5 million children, since it was started by Republican President George W. Bush. It was included in a Trump administration freeze on foreign aid spending slated to last at least three months.

PEPFAR provides HIV medication to more than 20 million people “and stopping its funding essential stops their HIV treatment,” International AIDS Society President Beatriz Grinsztejn said in a statement. “If that happens, people are going to die and HIV will resurge.”

A U.S. health official confirmed that the CDC was stopping its work with WHO. The person was not authorized to talk about the memo and spoke on condition of anonymity.

A WHO spokesperson referred questions about the withdrawal to U.S. officials.

Officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services didn’t immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

CNN | January 17, 2025

The US Department of Health and Human Services will award $590 million to Moderna to continue developing a vaccine to protect against bird flu, the pharmaceutical company announced Friday.

In 2023, Moderna initiated a study on a “pandemic influenza vaccine” to protect against H5 and H7 avian influenza viruses. In July, the company received $176 million from HHS toward its vaccine efforts. Moderna plans to advance research on the mRNA vaccine into a phase 3 trial after receiving positive results in earlier phases, which it plans to present at a scientific conference in the near future.

“Avian flu variants have proven to be particularly unpredictable and dangerous to humans in the past. That is why this response has been a top priority for the Biden-Harris Administration and HHS,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement Friday. “Accelerating the development of new vaccines will allow us to stay ahead and ensure that Americans have the tools they need to stay safe.”

Avian influenza, or bird flu, is a broad term that refers to several types of influenza that normally infect birds. The H5N1 virus has raised concern among health officials because it has sickened dozens of people in the United States over the past several months; the first human death from a severe case of the virus was reported in Louisiana this month.

“The project will provide additional support for late-stage development and licensure of pre-pandemic mRNA-based vaccines. The agreement will also support the expansion of clinical studies for up to five additional subtypes of pandemic influenza,” Moderna said in a statement Friday.

The US does have vaccines against H5 viruses in its Strategic National Stockpile, but they are made with older technology.

Separately, the Biden administration announced this month that it would invest more than $300 million to help monitor bird flu and prepare for potential spread. That money would be put toward programs focused on hospital preparedness, increased testing and surveillance, and awareness around emerging pathogens.

Most of the recent H5N1 transmission has been among animals, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still considers the risk from bird flu to the general public to be low, with no evidence of human-to-human spread. But the Biden administration has emphasized the importance of continued collaboration among stakeholders to “protect human health, animal health, and food safety.”]]> HHS invests nearly $600 million in Moderna’s bird flu vaccine development

Dailymail.Com [adapted] | 14 August 2024


The Canadian government has issued advice warning citizens to prepare for a hypothetical new virus that could lead to food and fuel disruptions.

The Centre for Occupational Health and Safety rolled out a second edition of their Flu and Infectious Disease Outbreaks Business Continuity Plan Handbook.

The guide provides information for employers on what to prepare for in the face of another pandemic.

In the new edition, released in June, they focus on a 'hypothetical virus', that they warn could trigger further disruption that Covid-19.

It states that 'based on trends from past pandemic flu, there may be a higher average number of illness and deaths in age groups different than what we typically see during annual flu seasons.'

The guide also warns employers must be ready for a scenario like an disease outbreak or a pandemic which forces people to stay home.

It says: 'If there is a pandemic, how many people will be off work? It is impossible to determine with certainty.

'Estimates vary because no one will know for sure how ill the new virus will make people, how fast it will spread, or how many people will not go to work, until it happens.'

A future pandemic 'will come in two or three waves about three to nine months separating each outbreak', it adds.

The hypothetical virus could also last in these cycles for as much as two years, the report warns.

It adds that people should brace for disruptions like reduced labor, supply chain issues and shifts in consumer demand. 

Among those disruptions include telecommunications, banking, water, gasoline, medicine and food.

It comes after American Dr Anthony Fauci recommended that people start wearing masks again due to a rise in Covid cases.

The number of infections is increasing as part of another summer surge - even though hospitalizations and deaths from the virus remain at historic lows.

The 83-year-old told people with comorbidities and seniors 'you should be wearing a mask' in crowded places.

He also revealed he had contracted Covid about two weeks ago. It was his third Covid infection and he has been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times.

World Health Organization officials warn that if the virus continues to spread, it could lead to new mutations and severe infections that evade vaccine protection and therapeutics.

Deaths have been generally on the rise since May, but began declining the week ending July 20. They currently hover at around 500 per week, compared to more than 25,000 in the fall of 2020.

Dr Fauci's face mask guidelines have long been criticized as people claimed they did not work to prevent the spread of Covid.]]> Canadian government warns country to prepare for new virus far worse than COVID

It adds that people should brace for disruptions like reduced labor, supply chain issues and shifts in consumer demand. 

Among those disruptions include telecommunications, banking, water, gasoline, medicine and food.

It comes after American Dr Anthony Fauci recommended that people start wearing masks again due to a rise in Covid cases.

The number of infections is increasing as part of another summer surge - even though hospitalizations and deaths from the virus remain at historic lows.

The 83-year-old told people with comorbidities and seniors 'you should be wearing a mask' in crowded places.

He also revealed he had contracted Covid about two weeks ago. It was his third Covid infection and he has been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times.

World Health Organization officials warn that if the virus continues to spread, it could lead to new mutations and severe infections that evade vaccine protection and therapeutics.

Deaths have been generally on the rise since May, but began declining the week ending July 20. They currently hover at around 500 per week, compared to more than 25,000 in the fall of 2020.

Dr Fauci's face mask guidelines have long been criticized as people claimed they did not work to prevent the spread of Covid.]]> <![CDATA[Insect farm for livestock feed creation to open in Canadian city later this month]]> https://staging.thecatacombs.org/showthread.php?tid=6290 Thu, 11 Jul 2024 10:22:47 +0000 Stone]]> https://staging.thecatacombs.org/showthread.php?tid=6290 Insect farm for livestock feed creation to open in Canadian city later this month

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan (LifeSiteNews [slightly adapted - not all hyperlinks included from original]) — An insect farm seeking to create “sustainable” livestock feed is set to open in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan this month. 

On July 18, NRGene Canada, an agricultural technology firm, announced the June 30 opening of its North American Insect Centre which will focus on using insect protein to create livestock feed out of black soldier flies.

“NRGene Canada, NRGene’s Canadian subsidiary, proudly announces the opening of the North American Insect Center (NAIC),” the company stated in a June 18th press release. 

“This research center for collaborative innovation was established together with the Swiss technology group Bühler marking a significant milestone in the advancement of insect protein production in North America,” it continued. 

According to a later press release, the insects are ideal for livestock feed since the flies can “convert food and agricultural waste into high-quality protein, oil, and fertilizer at a record speed.”

NRGene further asserts that the “larvae are a rich source of essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.” 

Dr. Masood Rizvi, General Manager of NRGene Canada, celebrated the move saying, “The establishment of the NAIC in Saskatchewan is a testament to our commitment to driving innovation in the insect protein industry.” 

“This facility will position Saskatchewan as a global center for insect protein production,” he continued. “By leveraging our advanced research capabilities, we aim to support local and regional economies while setting a new standard for sustainable protein production.”

The company projects the market will reach USD 3.96 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 31% from now until 2033.

The Saskatoon farm is only the latest insect farm to begin production.

Both crickets and mealworms in recent years have been promoted by global elites as a source of protein that they say could replace beef or pork, and which can also be used in a variety of foods.

While the forthcoming farm in Saskatoon is focused on livestock feed, globalist groups like Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum and its Great Reset plan have long promoted eating bugs to replace beef, pork, and other meats that they say have high “carbon” footprints.

The Trudeau government has implemented many policies that align with the WEF’s so-called “climate change” agenda, including a punishing carbon tax and restrictions on the nation’s oil and gas industries.

As LifeSiteNews previously reported, since 2018, a total of $420,023 has been spent on helping multiple food companies that make human bug food.

Some of the cricket food-making companies include NAAK Inc., a Montreal-based business that has gotten a staggering $171,695 from the government in the last five years.

Another company, Casa Bonita Foods, is planning on making “high protein snacks made with cricket flour.”

The promotion of eating bug protein has the support of Canada’s federal government under Trudeau.

His government has contributed $8.5 million to a London, Ontario cricket farm run by the Aspire Food Group.

The cricket farm can make 13 million kilograms of crickets for “human and pet consumption.”

At the same time, the Trudeau government has begun to attack Canadian farmers by pushing forth an agenda that would force them to reduce the amount of nitrogen-based fertilizer. This could have a large negative impact on the growing of feed for cattle as well as food for human consumption.]]> Insect farm for livestock feed creation to open in Canadian city later this month
