Pfizer Failed To Disclose Risks Of Preterm Birth And Neonatal Death To Pregnant Women In RSV Vaccine Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pfizer failed to inform pregnant women participating in its clinical trial for the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine that the clinical trial of a similar vaccine by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) was halted after a safety signal revealed a potential risk of preterm births leading to neonatal deaths.

Even though Pfizer knew about the potential safety signal and was studying preterm births as an “adverse event of special interest,” it continued to enroll women in its clinical trial and did not fully inform participants of the risks the vaccine may pose to their babies—and in some cases, provided misleading and contradictory statements, according to an investigation by The BMJ.

“The BMJ article demonstrates Pfizer’s continued disregard for the law and patient choice,” attorney Thomas Renz told The Epoch Times in an email. “The entire point of informed consent is to ensure a patient can make a decision based on all available information. Rather than embracing the Nuremberg Code and American laws and regulations, Pfizer seems to view informed consent as a barrier to sales—something that causes vaccine hesitancy or drug hesitancy.”

“There should have never been a clinical trial in pregnant women studying any injections aimed at RSV in pregnant women,” Sasha Latypova told The Epoch Times in an email. “Pregnancy and potential to become pregnant is historically the most protected class of human subjects from clinical research because the risks and potential to cause inadvertent harm are too devastating to justify scientific interest in made-up subjects like RSV.” (Read more from “Pfizer Failed To Disclose Risks Of Preterm Birth And Neonatal Death To Pregnant Women In RSV Vaccine Trial” HERE)

Pope Francis Dines With Transgender Women for Vatican Luncheon

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pope Francis hosted a group of transgender “women” — many of whom are sex workers or migrants from Latin America — to a Vatican luncheon for the Catholic Church’s “World Day of the Poor” last week.

The pontiff and the transgender “women” have formed a close relationship since the pope came to their aid during the COVID-19 pandemic, when they were unable to work. Now, they meet monthly for VIP visits with the pope and receive medicine, money and shampoo any day, according to The Associated Press.

“Before, the church was closed to us. They didn’t see us as normal people, they saw us as the devil,” one member of the transgender group, Andrea Paola Torres Lopez, told the AP.

Some 1,200 people who are impoverished or homeless also attended the luncheon inside the papal audience hall for a full meal and dessert.

The invitation to the transgender “women” comes as the Vatican released a controversial document earlier this month affirming that individuals suffering from gender-identity disorders are allowed to be baptized or be named as godparents under specific circumstances.

Catholic Women’s School Saint Mary’s College to Admit Transgender Applicants

/0 Comments/in , /by

Saint Mary’s College has approved a policy to consider male applicants who “identify as women,” which would effectively strip the school of its ability to accurately call itself a women’s college.

The college’s “non-discrimination” policy now says that Saint Mary’s can consider admission for undergraduate applicants “whose sex is female or who consistently live and identify as women,” according to a report by the Observer.

“The mission of Saint Mary’s College is to empower women, through education, at all stages in life,” the policy reads. “Essential to this mission is fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive campus experience. This mission is inherently tied to the vision and values of our founders and sponsors, the Sisters of the Holy Cross.”

President Katie Conboy said in a Tuesday email to to faculty, staff, and students that the Board of Trustees “fully supports” the new policy.

“This confidence from our Board underscores their commitment that as an employer, Saint Mary’s must stand firm in its position as an inclusive community leader, and that as educators, we should continue to create an environment where all women belong and thrive,” Conboy wrote.

Palacios, 23, is the first Nicaraguan to win the crown, the Associated Press (AP) reported Sunday.

Video footage shows the tense moments as the crowd waited for the crowning. “Okay, the new Miss Universe is…” the announcer said as the two contestants waited and held hands on the stage.

“Nicaragua!” the announcer shouted as Palacios reacted in shock. Moments later, the glittering crown was placed on her head:

It is important to note the company that owns the Miss Universe pageant recently filed for bankruptcy, Breitbart News reported November 10.

“The company is led by transgender rights advocate Anne Jakrajutatip, who took over the pageant’s brand in 2022,” the article said, also highlighting the fact that the pageant in El Salvador was slated to feature, for the first time, two transgender women contestants.

Trans Athlete Who Seriously Injured Female Player Quits Team After Opponents Refuse to Play Against Him

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A male-born transgender athlete has quit a British soccer team when faced with opposing teams refusing to play against his team after he broke an opponent’s knee during a match. But even after quitting, the trans player is threatening to sue.

Opponents had refused to play against Francesca Needham, 30, after he broke a female player’s knee as she tried to block his shot. Many claimed they were “terrified” to face Needham on the field, according to the Daily Mail.

Needham ultimately resigned from the Rossington Main Ladies team in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, saying he did so for the good of the team after many opponents refused to play them. But he was not happy to fade off into the sunset.

In a statement to the team’s Facebook page, Needham decried the fact that he “faced challenges from teams unwilling to play against us while I am on the field.” . . .

“This unfortunate circumstance has prompted me to investigate pursuing a case of discrimination, as I believe it represents a breach of a code of conduct regarding diversity and inclusion, as well as safeguarding of adults in football established by both the Football Association and the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women and Girls League,” he wrote.

Director Teases Controversial Direction for Upcoming Star Wars Film, Promising to ‘Piss People Off’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Director Taika Waititi promises his upcoming Star Wars movie is “gonna piss people off” after he emasculated Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder.

According to Variety:

When asked if his addition to the popular franchise would still show fans the same “Star Wars” they know and love, the “Thor: love and thunder” director animatedly told Variety on the red carpet of his “Next Goal Wins” premiere, “It will be … dramatic pause… a Taika Waititi film.”

“It’s gonna piss people off,” he added with a laugh.

Now, do you understand just how much Disney hates you, how much contempt and scorn it holds for you?

In the Golden Age, Hollywood wanted to please everyone by producing universal movies for everyone. The goal was to create a unifying and tolerant melting pot: one culture out of many. But Hollywood also made movies aimed at different cultures: teens, Southerners, racial minorities, urbanites, Westerners, women, etc. (Read more from “Director Teases Controversial Direction for Upcoming Star Wars Film, Promising to ‘Piss People Off'” HERE)

Female Boxer Refuses to Fight Trans Opponent Championship Match

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A female boxer in Quebec withdrew from a provincial boxing championship last month after being told without notice that she would have to fight a male-born transgender opponent.

Boxer Dr. Katia Bissonnette of Saguenay refused to step into the ring with transgender opponent Mya Walmsley during the 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship, which took place October 27 to 29, according to Reduxx.

The event hosted in Victoriaville, Quebec, by the Quebec Boxing Federation and the KO-96 boxing club was held to give novice fighters a shot at qualifying for the Canadian Championship in December.

But when Bissonnette was told of her match, she says she was unaware that she was to face a male fighter until an hour before fight time.

“I came down from my hotel room to head towards the room where all the boxers were warming up. My coach suddenly took me aside and told me he received information by text message, which he had then validated, that my opponent was not a woman by birth. We did not have any other additional information,” Bissonnette told Reduxx. (Read more from “Female Boxer Refuses to Fight Trans Opponent Championship Match” HERE)

Disturbing: Transgender Pop Star Sparks Controversy by Encouraging Gay Sex at Concerts Where Children Are Present

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender German pop star Kim Petras has become the center of controversy following recent statements where he expressed a desire for his gay fans to engage in sexual activities during performances of his current concert tour. The controversial remarks were made during an interview with Interview magazine, where Petras acknowledged the occurrence of lewd and pornographic acts taking place in the crowd. The singer stated, “There’s definitely gay sex happening, which is lit. In the crowd, and that’s the goal.”

What intensifies the controversy is that Ticketmaster indicates that children as young as eight are allowed to attend Petras’ tour, with those under 14 required to be accompanied by an adult at all times. This has raised concerns among parents and advocacy groups about the appropriateness of such explicit content in an environment where minors are present. The singer’s tour, inspired by Dante’s Inferno and various other influences like Greek mythology and German fairytales, is known for its “demonic” elements, but Petras’ recent comments have shifted the focus to the explicit nature of the performances.

These developments come amid broader debates on the influence and responsibility of artists in shaping the behavior of their audience, especially when children are part of the demographic. Petras has previously spoken out on transgender medical procedures for minors, opposing the bans on hormone therapy implemented by some U.S. states and European nations.

Former ESPN Host Accuses Megan Rapinoe of Narcissism Following Anti-Religion Remarks

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Days after Rapinoe claimed a potential Achilles injury in the final match of her professional career was “proof that there isn’t” a God, the former “SportsCenter” host tore into the controversial U.S. Women’s National Team star on X.

“Narcissism at its finest,” Steele posted Monday.

Rapinoe and Steele have long been vocal about their beliefs — often on opposite sides of the debate — and it appears the 38-year-old athlete’s comments hit a sore spot with the ex-ESPN personality.

Steele’s X profile says she’s a “Believer” with a cross emoji, indicating that religion is an important part of her life.

Rapinoe’s now-viral remark came Saturday after Gotham FC defeated her OL Reign in the National Women’s Soccer League Championship, 2-1. (Read more from “Former ESPN Host Accuses Megan Rapinoe of Narcissism Following Anti-Religion Remarks” HERE)
