CDC’s ACIP Votes to Add mRNA COVID-19 Jabs to Immunization Schedules for Children, Setting Standard For School Mandates

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted on Thursday to approve the CDC’s revised recommended immunization schedules for adults and children for 2023, which added mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations.

The committee of doctors voted with 15 members unanimously in favor of the recommendation after a brief comment period.

The revised schedule now calls for children to begin getting jabbed with the COVID shots when they are 6 months old, Fox News reported. ACIP voted to add COVID-19 vaccines to the Vaccines For Children program (VFC) in a separate vote, Wednesday afternoon.

A CDC spokesperson insisted in a statement to Fox News on Wednesday that their decision does not alter official policy.

“It’s important to note that there are no changes in COVID-19 vaccine policy, and this action would simply help streamline clinical guidance for healthcare providers by including all currently licensed, authorized and routinely recommended vaccines in one document,” the spokesperson said.

While the immunization schedule doesn’t technically force the experimental shots on children, it can however influence states to mandate mRNA COVID injections for children to attend school.

“CDC knows this will precipitate mandatory COVID shots for many schools and sports leagues,” Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., explained in a tweet ahead of the vote. Massie included a screenshot of a slide from Wednesday’s meeting that said inclusion in the immunization schedule and the federal Vaccines for Children (VFC) program “is an important step toward inclusion of COVID-19 vaccines in routine vaccination program.”

In an earlier tweet, he posted a chart showing the number of the pediatric cases of vaccine-induced myocarditis (that the CDC will admit).

After the vote, Massie tweeted, “this will precipitate c-19 vax mandates to attend schools and play sports in many states. Has an EUA shot with so many serious recorded side effects ever been added to this list before?”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson also pointed out on his show Wednesday that more than 12 states follow the CDC vaccination guidelines to set requirements for children to attend public schools. “The point is, the CDC sets the standard, and then it becomes required across the country—and of course they know that! Of course they know that. If they know anything, they know...

Konnech, the Michigan-based election software management company whose CEO was recently arrested for allegedly storing the personal data of poll workers on servers located in China, contracted with the Department of Defense to manage election logistics for service members Breitbart News has confirmed.

Eugene Yu was arrested by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on October 4th in connection with the purported theft of personally identifiable information of county poll workers whose data was allegedly discovered on servers in the People’s Republic of China. Konnech’s software, the PollChief Election Worker Management System, was used by LA County and many other counties in the United States to manage, pay and communicate with election poll workers. LA County asserts Konnech “was supposed to securely maintain the data and that only United States citizens and permanent residents have access to it,” but said that information has been discovered on Chinese servers.

In response to a Breitbart News request, DoD provided documents revealing Konnech was contracted to provide online voting services for the states of Montana, New Jersey, and Nevada between July 8, 2010 and January 31, 2011. The now-defunct DoD Business Transformation Agency (BTA) awarded the contracts. Open source documents reveal the existence of a BTA email to Konnech on April 21, 2010 advising that “BTA would like to offer Konnech a [Blanket Purchase Agreement] for the FVAP Wizard Support Services Requirement.” The correspondence is titled “FVAP BTA Offer” and is further evidence of a relationship between Konnech and the Pentagon.

Old Facebook posts from an account appearing to belong to Konnech, Inc. also provide further corroboration:

Konnech concluded the 2010 General Election having assisted uniformed and overseas voters in three States to cast their ballots. The very first voter to use our system emailed ‘this is the first time I’ve been able to vote since being posted to Iraq.’ – November 3, 2010

The Federal Voter Assistance Program, an agency of the DoD, awarded (2) grants to the City of Detroit for systems to be developed by Konnech. The first is to establish an online system that will allow military and overseas voters to confirm their registration, apply for an absentee ballot, as well as receive and track their ballot. Detroit’s second grant is to test the security and usability of mobile applications. In a mock election environment, overseas testers will use the mobile applications to receive, vote, and cast their ballots. Analysis of risks associated with use of a mobile application for the electronic transmission of a voted ballot will be conducted during this mock election. – March 2012

The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) that provides voting assistance to members of the military, their families, and citizens overseas. Service members receive guidance on how to vote absentee along with other information regarding frequently asked questions. The FVAP website advises interested individuals on how to become Voting Assistance Officers to ensure that military and overseas voters have the support necessary to cast their ballots. “The Director of FVAP administers the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) on behalf of the Secretary of Defense.”

According to a Felony Complaint issued by the LA County District Attorney’s Office on October 13th, Yu was charged with conspiracy to embezzle public funds and grand theft by embezzlement of public funds valued at $2.6M. The complaint notes that Konnech utilized 3rd party contractors in China to perform services under its agreement with LA County. In particular, a Konnech employee responsible for managing the LA County contract “confirmed via the messaging app DingTalk that any employee working for Chinese contractors on PollChief software had super administration privileges for all PollChief clients.” The employee described this as a “huge security issue.”

Konnech was founded approximately 20 years ago and is a Microsoft gold partner, which it proudly displays on its website. It also advertises that “election logistic software is all we do”, it has 32 clients in North America and that PollChief software is used by “thousands of elections offices”.

Hungry For Organs, Transplant Surgeons Exploit Different ‘Standards’ For Determining Death

When exactly are you allowed to deliberately block blood flow to the brain?

Are you familiar with something called the “partial resurrection” procedure? That’s how MedPage Today referred to it in a recent article. You might suppose it is some kind of transhumanist scheme to bring the dead back to life, but it is an emerging technique used by transplantation surgeons upon organ donors.

Before knowing anything about this procedure, the first thing one notices is the hubris of the terminology – as if it were within the purview of scientists, even surgeons, to deliver some sort of “resurrection”.

Since that is not possible, we may conclude, through elementary logic, that this transplantation procedure is carried out on a person who has not yet died and is therefore still living.

That is indeed the case: in this procedure, physicians declare a patient dead prematurely (shortly after heart failure), then deploy interventions to resume circulation in the patient in order to optimize organ viability. But – get this – they deliberately block the circulation of oxygenated blood from reaching the brain.

Ensuring that the brain is deprived of oxygenated blood while other organs are being perfused with it does two things: it preserves organs for transplantation, and it ensures that the patient dies — at the hands of the surgeons, in a manner other than the patient had already been naturally dying.

What happened to the dead donor rule?

This is complicated stuff with all sorts of physiological and philosophical underpinnings and I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself. (I discuss these matters in depth in my recent book, Determining Death by Neurological Criteria). But one can intuitively grasp that this is a troubling development, since the entire organ transplantation enterprise is predicated upon the “dead donor rule” — the stipulation that vital organ donors must in fact be dead.

A silver lining of this kind of news might be that prospective organ donors and the general public will become more aware of the fact that some organ transplantation procedures commence before a donor has actually died. For now, however, this has only seemed to cause a stir among transplant specialists and bioethicists.

Most people are totally unaware that there are two different means by which death is determined. Roughly speaking, one is based on brain function, the other on cardiac function. These methods are neither identical nor interchangeable, which therefore suggests that one of them may be deficient in particular circumstances.

Problems with using cardiac failure to determine death

So what does this procedure entail? First of all, it takes place in protocols that use the circulatory criteria for determining death. These patients are not brain dead, but have run out of treatment options. They will be removed from life support, with the expectation that cardiac arrest will...
