Biden Admin Launches $5 Billion Effort to Develop New COVID-19 Vaccines, Therapies
The Biden administration is launching an initiative in excess of $5 billion to speed up the development of new vaccines and treatments for COVID-19 and other coronaviruses that could pose a future threat.
The news comes the same day that President Joe Biden signed a measure to end the COVID-19 national emergency.
“Building on the work the Administration has accomplished over the last few years and to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving virus that causes COVID-19, Project NextGen will accelerate and streamline the rapid development of next generation of vaccines and treatments through public-private collaborations,” a senior administration official told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.

NIH guide warns against describing pronouns as ‘chosen,’ pushes slew of 40 different options
According to the NIH document, intentionally using an incorrect pronoun could be 'a violation of one’s civil rights'

Fox News Digital reviewed the NIH Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office’s "Gender Pronouns & Their Use in Workplace Communications" guide, which provides more than 40 different pronoun examples, while also providing examples on how to avoid making pronoun "mistakes" in the workplace.

Authors Conclude ‘Relatively Safe’ as Dozens of Children Die After COVID-19 Vaccination
Authors Conclude ‘Relatively Safe’ as Dozens of Children Die After COVID-19 Vaccination
As an author and editor, I have always lived by a principle of medical publication that the conclusions must be supported by the data presented. Many have asked me why do doctors still support COVID-19 vaccination with all safety data systems reporting record mortality after injection—many cases occurring on the same day or in the next few days after administration? The reason may be what doctors are concluding from the data in peer-reviewed manuscripts does not match the information disclosed.
Villa-Zapata and coworkers published a report from VAERS on the “safety” of COVID-19 vaccination in children age 5 to 17 and in the data table, there are 28 deaths! Also listed are other potentially fatal complications such as anaphylaxis and myocarditis. The authors concluded that COVID-19 vaccination in children is “relatively safe.”

California considers separating children from their un-'woke' parents
Legislators in California are considering a bill that would allow state officials to separate children from their families without letting the parents know until after the fact.
Government authorities could do this for children who struggle with gender identity problems but whose parents are not being “ affirming ” of their new identification as the opposite sex, or as nonbinary, gender fluid, pansexual, or one of the other made-up genders or sexual orientations.

Survivors of the Trans Panic: Detransitioner Reveals Horrors of Gender ‘Cyber-Sect’
Transgenderism is being portrayed as a progressive form of self-expression by the political, media, and business complex, but it is also damaging and marring — in many cases irreparably — the girls who come into contact with it. This series is exploring some of the cruelty experienced by people who have interacted with the “cyber-sect” of radical gender ideology, through testimony in their own words.
About 20 percent of Generation Z is likely to identify on the “LGBTQQIP2SAA” spectrum, and “LGBTQIA+” identification overall has become much more common in the United States in the past decade, according to 2022 polling by Gallup. Over five percent of Americans from 18 to 30-years-old identify as “transgender” or “nonbinary,” according a Pew Research Center survey published in June.
The number of diagnoses of “gender dysphoria” of children between the ages of 6–17 in the United States has surged over recent years, from 15,172 in 2017 to 24,847 in 2020, to 42,167 in 2021, according to data published by Reuters. In 2017, there were 1,905 children in the same age range, 6–17, undergoing hormone therapy, spiking to 4,231 in 2021.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe promotes child sex changes, says we should ‘trust kids to tell us who they are’
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe recently hosted a Trevor Project roundtable with six youth who believe themselves to be transgender during which he said people who question whether children should be allowed to transition are “condescending” and said he believes we should just “trust kids to tell us who they are.”
At least half of the young people Radcliffe sat down with were homosexual, and each described experiencing difficulties as children for being extremely gender-nonconforming. This they said was what led them to discover their transgender identities. Radcliffe has been publicly opposed to Harry Potter creator JK Rowling's efforts to fight for women's rights.

Masks Cause Headaches, Itching, and Lower Oxygen Intake: Study
A systematic review of 2,168 studies that looked into the adverse effects of wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic has found that the practice led to negative health consequences, including itching, headaches, and restriction of oxygen.
“We found significant effects in both medical surgical and N95 masks, with a greater impact of the second,” states the review, published in the “Frontiers in Public Health” on April 5. A meta-analysis of multiple studies found that headache was the “most frequent symptom” among mask wearers, with a prevalence of 62 percent for general mask use and up to 70 percent when using N95 masks. Shortness of breath was observed at 33 percent for general mask use and 37 percent among N95 users.

Surprise! The COVID Vaccines Were Never Tested for Safety
Examining properly stained tissue samples under a microscope is the dispositive way to assess whether someone died from the vaccine. It is the gold standard.
Executive summary
There were 31.2% higher deaths in the “gold standard” Pfizer Phase 3 clinical trials.
There is only one way to know whether or not the vaccine caused any of the deaths in the 21 vaccinated patients who died: proper histopathology.
Pfizer never did it and the FDA never asked for it.
This was the biggest mistake in the pandemic and nobody has acknowledged that or lifted a finger to correct it (as I point out below). Had they done the proper testing on the 21 deaths, the vaccine would never have been approved.

EXCLUSIVE: Doctors Expose Just How Experimental ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ Truly Is in Florida Medicaid Case
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Psychiatrists, endocrinologists, neurologists, and other doctors testified in support of a Florida health agency’s rule preventing Medicaid from funding various forms of “gender-affirming care,” such as “puberty-blockers,” cross-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries.
“Patients suffering from gender dysphoria or related issues have a right to be protected from experimental, potentially harmful treatments lacking reliable, valid, peer-reviewed, published, long-term scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness,” Dr. Paul Hruz, an endocrinology researcher and clinician at Washington University School of Medicine, wrote in a sworn affidavit provided exclusively to The Daily Signal. (Endocrinologists treat the endocrine system, which uses hormones to control metabolism, reproduction, growth, and more.)

California mom confronts school district after 11-year-old changed genders without her knowledge
A California mom is outraged after her daughter's school district upheld a "parental secrecy policy" allowing school officials to offer gender counseling without informing parents.
Aurora Regino said her 11-year-old daughter's elementary school in the Chico Unified School District helped her transition from female to male during the last school year, but a guidance counselor kept her in the dark during the entire process.
"During one of the meetings, my daughter told the counselor she wanted to tell me about her new identity. They ignored her request and did nothing to support her in letting me know what was going on at school," she told board members at a meeting last Wednesday.

California Suspends Meal Funding at Christian Preschool Over Stance on Gender, Sexuality
A San Diego County Christian preschool is suing the state of California for pulling the plug on the school’s state meal funding, saying its traditional stance on gender and sexuality violated a new state law.
The Church of Compassion’s Dayspring Christian Learning Center—a preschool and day care facility in El Cajon, Calif., that serves nearly 90 students—filed a lawsuit against the state on March 15 for “deprivation of the free exercise of religion” and “deprivation of free speech,” as well as alleged “hostility against religion.”
