‘Full House’ Star’s Vaccine Mandate Post Sparks Social Media Controversy

/1 Comment/in , /by

Candace Cameron Bure sparked a debate on social media over a post she made that seemingly expressed her skepticism over vaccines.

On Thursday, the “Full House” actress took to Instagram to share a series of images that began with the statement “I’m not anti-v” meaning anti-vaccination. Each picture contained a subhead explaining what the star was for, instead. It then seemed to prompt users to either select “Same.” or “Exactly!”

“This. This is not about what I am against. This is what I am FOR. Read and understand the distinction,” she wrote. “This mama is holding the line and standing up for freedom.”

The images noted that the star is “pro-medical freedom,” “pro-informed consent,” “pro-immune system,” “pro-early intervention” and “pro-sunlight, exercise, real food, & vitamins.” . . .

Yahoo Entertainment reports that Bure’s post sparked a tense debate on her Instagram about vaccine mandates, with many agreeing with her stance while others questioned if her desire to promote medical freedom extends to her thoughts on abortion. Her “Full House” co-star Bob Saget and Hallmark co-stars Lacey Chabert, Danica McKellar, Katharine McPhee and Alexa PenaVega chimed in with messages of support amid the criticism.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 48-year-old performer took the stage at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Thursday night for a screening of his documentary. The sold-out crowd also watched performances by Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Jon Hamm, Nas, Lizzo, poet Amir Sulaiman, Jeff Rose, Talib Kweli and more.

Speaking to the roughly 18,000 people in the crowd while wearing sneakers and a suit, Chappelle touched on the fact that a number of individuals and groups are calling for “The Closer” to be pulled from the streamer because of alleged transphobic comments he made in it, Deadline reports.

“If this is what being cancelled is about, I love it,” Chappelle said to hoots and hollering from fans in attendance, per the outlet.

He added: “I don’t know what to tell you, except I’m a bad motherf—er.” (Read more from “Dave Chappelle Mocks Efforts To Get Him and His New Netflix Special Canceled” HERE)

Two Countries Just Halted Use of the Moderna Vaccine for Certain Groups

/1 Comment/in , /by

An unpublished Nordic study prompted Sweden and Denmark on Wednesday to announce a pause on the use of the Moderna vaccine in younger age groups.

The study, which hasn’t been reviewed yet by the European Medicines Agency, raised concern over the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in this demographic.

While the risk is small, “the connection is especially clear when it comes to Moderna’s vaccine Spikevax, especially after the second dose,” the Swedish health agency said in a statement, Reuters reports.

According to the agency, the risk was also more prevalent among young men and boys.

Denmark made the same “precautionary” call, though the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was already the primary option for those aged 12-17 in the country. (Read more from “Two Countries Just Halted Use of the Moderna Vaccine for Certain Groups” HERE)

Federal Judge Blocks Texas Abortion Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked a controversial Texas law banning abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy.

U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman’s ruling said, “A person’s right under the Constitution to choose to obtain an abortion prior to fetal viability is well established.” It added that “depriving citizens of this right” would be “flagrantly unconstitutional.”

The order follows the Biden administration’s challenge to the ban and will temporarily cease the most restrictive abortion law in the country, which the Supreme Court narrowly allowed to take effect about a month ago.

Biden Administration Lifts Trump-Era Abortion Policy

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Biden administration reversed a Trump-era policy prohibiting federally-funded family planning clinics from making abortion referrals, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said Monday.

“Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a final rule to strengthen the Title X family planning program, fulfilling the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to restore access to equitable, affordable, client-centered, quality family planning services,” the statement reads.

In the final rule, it describes the change as a way to “readopt” regulations and “revoke the requirements of the 2019 regulations, including removing restrictions on nondirective options counseling and referrals for abortion services and eliminating requirements for strict physical and financial separation between abortion-related activities and Title X project activities.”

Prior to 2019, federally-funded family planning clinics did not utilize tax dollars for abortions. The Trump administration’s policy took this a step further, not allowing these clinics to refer patients to abortions. (Read more from “Biden Administration Lifts Trump-Era Abortion Policy” HERE)

Disturbing Report: 330,000 Children Victims of Church Sex Abuse

/1 Comment/in , /by

An estimated 330,000 children were victims of sex abuse within France’s Catholic Church over the past 70 years, according to a report released Tuesday that represents the country’s first major accounting of the worldwide phenomenon.

The figure includes abuses committed by some 3,000 priests and other people involved in the church — wrongdoing that Catholic authorities covered up over decades in a “systemic manner,” according to the president of the commission that issued the report, Jean-Marc Sauvé.

The head of the French bishops’ conference asked for forgiveness from the victims, about 80% of whom were boys, according to the report. The bishops are meeting Tuesday to discuss next steps.

The independent commission urged the church to take strong action, denouncing “faults” and “silence.” It also called on the Catholic Church to help compensate the victims, notably in cases that are too old to prosecute via the courts.

“The consequences are very serious,” Sauvé said. “About 60% of men and women who were sexually abused encounter major problems in their emotional or sexual life.” (Read more from “Disturbing Report: 330,000 Children Victims of Church Sex Abuse” HERE)

What Are They Hiding? Government Condemned for Not Releasing Details of Key Email Conversations on COVID Origins

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Government has been condemned after refusing to release details of key email conversations involving leading scientists over the origins of Covid-19.

This newspaper used Freedom of Information rules to obtain a cache of 32 emails about a secretive teleconference between British and American health officials held early in the pandemic.

But officials blacked out almost every word before releasing the crucial documents.

Before this discussion, several of the world’s most influential experts believed the new virus most likely came from a laboratory – but days later, the scientists began dismissing such scenarios as ‘implausible’ and branding them conspiracy theories.

The critical call is at the centre of concerns that the scientific establishment tried to stifle debate on the pandemic’s origins, as damning new evidence emerges of US ties to high-risk research on bat viruses in Wuhan, where the first cases emerged in late 2019.

Public Officials Silent About Allegations of Nazi-Level Experiments at a U.S. University

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Nearly 100 members of Congress asked the Biden administration for details on the University of Pittsburgh’s federally funded research on aborted babies in a recent letter. Pitt officials should be working with law enforcement to conduct a full investigation of the grotesque, immoral, and potentially illegal actions the university has taken in its treatment of preborn human beings. Pitt should provide complete transparency regarding how the university obtains and experiments on these aborted babies.

Even Dr. Ronna Jurow, an ob-gyn who supports abortion, has raised significant concern over unethical treatment of aborted babies at Pitt. As an alumnus of Pitt, it troubles me to see my alma mater become a national hub for training students for controversial fetal experimentation, allegedly using staff employed by Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business.

Just last year, it was revealed that Pitt has been engaging in experiments like scalping aborted babies and grafting their scalps to lab rats. Pitt researchers even proudly published pictures of babies’ scalps grafted onto the backs of rodents.

Some of these inhumane experiments at Pitt are being federally funded through grants from the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, run by Dr. Anthony Fauci. Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request made by the Center for Medical Progress, we see in Pitt’s application for federal funding (i.e., your tax dollars) that Pitt is obtaining babies who have been killed and harvested through elective abortions. Harvesting organs and performing experiments on innocent human beings whose death was elective — aborted for convenience and without medical necessity — is wrong.

If that’s not alarming enough, Pitt has set racial quotas on their tissue orders. In their application, Pitt indicates their desire for half of the babies being experimented on to be minorities. Allegheny County, the major metropolitan area from which Pitt-based abortion experiments draw patients for fetal tissue procurement, is 80 percent white and only 13 percent black. David Seldin, assistant vice chancellor for news at the University of Pittsburgh, claims this is explained by the experiments aiming to study kidney disease, which more greatly impacts people who aren’t white.

This Public School Plans To Eliminate the “F” Grade, Here’s the Ridiculous Reason Why

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sunrise Park Middle School in White Bear lake, Minnesota, is the latest school to change its grading system in the name of combating “systemic racism.”

In a YouTube video, the middle school announced that it would eliminate the “F” grade.

“Our whole intent is to ensure that grades focus on the process of learning,” Principal Christina Pierre said in the video, according to Fox News. “Therefore, grades will not include behaviors, attitude, tardiness to class, whether the assignment was turned in late or on time. There’s other ways that we can communicate those things to parents.”

Associate Principal Norman Bell added that students would be encouraged to retake tests and quizzes, and revise papers and projects within 10 days of grade getting posted.

As noted by Fox, the school website mentions that an “equity audit” had been conducted and found “grading disparities among students of color,” according to Fox. (Read more from “This Public School Plans To Eliminate the “F” Grade, Here’s the Ridiculous Reason Why” HERE)
