I’m eternally grateful that my sons were smarter than me and refused the jabs for themselves and their children.

It occurs to me to wonder whether, on the whole, the benefit of the jabs might have exceeded the risks for some segments of the population; in other words, perhaps all unknowns considered, your family got it right: get the jabs if you are older, and/or more at risk. Young people, skip it.

I'm glad to see major progress that mRNA vaccine is only volunarily available after a doctor consult, but NOT RECOMMENDED. The mRNA penetration of the Brain Blood Barrier is a major threat. Vital organs (Brain, heart, liver, testicles) with traces of mRNA even 2 years after mRNA vaccine are quite concerning. More birth defects in babies born to mRNA vaccinated moms is another serious warning. mRNA vaccines should be totally removed from the market given the severity of these injuries, but the uninformed will be able to still get a mRNA vaccine after a doctor's consult.

I say the uninformed with intention. In today's world, even with emails going back and forth between doctor and patient, it is rare to see serious information being shared with the average patient by the average MD in terms of what fully informed medical consent would actually require. It rarely occurs. Fully informed medical consent should include the complete published copy of the manufacturer's insert identifying all of the pages of scientific details reported to the FDA, and nothing less will do. However, why is it that the medical doctors who prescribe pharmaceuticals never seem to be in the loop to be given that all important manufacturer's print-out in order to provide that tiny print publication to their patient(s). Some medical offices seem to be able to obtain the details off the internet, but they are full size print and do not usually seem complete in terms of listing the chemical formula and all the side effects found during the study. Good MDs will also warn the patient about potential interactions or complications that may occur with other drugs or supplements the patient is taking, given the patient's drug and supplement list and given the patient's diagnoses. A good MD will also warn the patient if the drug has not been on the market long enough for any problems it may have to surface sufficiently.

The real problem emerges at the pharmacy when the patient is given a generic or even a brand drug which has been prescribed, but then the pharmacy states they cannot provide the manufacturer's insert. Instead one major US pharmacy usually gives the patient a one or two page printout that does not begin to inform the patient as to potential side-effects to actually watch-out for symptoms. Instead, it tells the patient if s/he suspects that the drug might be causing a side effect that they should contact their doctor, but they are unlikely to make the connection when they have not been informed of every side effect found during that drug's human trials. The pharmacist should have a limit not to exceed 24-hours to provide requested manufactuer's drug insert publication data when requested by a prescribed patient, and failure to be able to show that timely effort should result in a criminal felony for the pharmacist, and failure of the drug manufacturer to properly respond within 24-hours to the pharmacist or to the patient should result in a criminal felony and $100,000 fine per incident for the drug manufacturer, with 40% of that fine reverting back to the patient who was improperly treated.

In a RiteAid location closing nearby, a 40-something employee told us RiteAid would not fill his any of his elderly mother's prescriptions, or anyone else's, unless they were up-to-date on their "covid" boosters. They deserve to go bankrupt!

Wrong-Aide:

Through mid-2025, over 1,000 Rite Aid stores have closed since 2019. This figure includes closures from a slow wind-down of operations leading up to the 2023 bankruptcy, stores shuttered during the first bankruptcy in late 2023 and 2024, and hundreds more closures announced during the second bankruptcy filing in May 2025.

First bankruptcy (2023–2024): After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2023, the company closed approximately 800 stores as part of its restructuring.

Second bankruptcy (2025): The company filed for bankruptcy again in May 2025, announcing plans to either sell or close all of its remaining 1,277 stores. This process designated hundreds of additional locations for closure.

Holy cow!! Laura. I was not aware of pharmacies denying ALL meds based on the pharmacies definition of health. That's basically what that is. Is that even legal? And based on what we know now,meds are prscribed because of side effects of the covid shot. It literally makes zero sense. I can actually see my small town pharmacy doing that. Eyes wide open! Like your term WRONG-AID.

I have not heard of pharmacy chains other than Rite-Aid having required covid shots to fill prescriptions 2021-2022. You would think the FTC would want to know about this. I do not know if any lawsuit was filed with a settlement amount which could force the bankruptcy, overbuilding, or free market forces are causative factors. Maybe all the above.

In an earlier substack, I described somebody waking up paralyzed up to 30 minutes in the morning, but this manfested on and off--not every time the patient took their prescribed sleeping pill for which they were not given a list of potential adverse effects from the doctor nor from the pharmacy. Patient was magically expected to connect the dots when s/he had been left out of the loop about the full list of symptoms that manifested unreliably. The patient was unable to connect taking the sleeping pill and experiencing temporarily random episodes of paralyzation on and off. This failure originates with patients not receiving fully informed medical consent and not being informed about every possible symptom known to the manufacturer. It should be legally required not only of physicians, but of pharmacists also, especially when only the pharmacist can possibly know who the generic manufacturer will be. If the MD writes a generic script, the MD has no way of predicting what generic the pharmacist will use to fill that script. Both the script writer and the pharmacist must be made legally responsible to provide the manufacturer's published data sheets including the full and complete legal information. Instead the pharmacist informs the patient that the manufacturer does not provide pharmacists with manufacturer's published data sheets "to provide to the patients." This feels like manufacturer-pharmacy coordination to prevent the patient from knowing the dangers of the drugs they are prescribed.

When eventually the pharmacist provides a patient with the contact of the script's drug manufacturer, a lot of time has been wasted as the pharmacist insisted over time that is not part of their job and claimed that providing the manufacturer's complete published drug information to be ONLY the doctor's job--not the pharmacist's job. Yet, this works against the patient being able to be properly informed to the extent only the pharmacist knows which brand fulfilled the doctor's script, and therefore is the only person--not the doctor--who can inform the patient in this way that cancer-causing talc is being used in the brand and in almost every generic, and this nearly entire industry-wide switch-over to talc began early in 2025 for thyroid hormone scripts as if the timing were coordinated somewhere. Worse yet, at the same time, threats are being heard to remove natural thyroid hormones from the American pharmacies, which now feels increasingly like a big pharma coordination to poison with talc all these women requiring thyroid meds to stay alive.

When the pharmacist may eventually decide to provide the patient with drug manufacturer contact info, the patient receives the manufacturer's complete published drug details, as requested. WHOA! Some drug manufacturers are illegally forbidding patients in writing

from showing their published insert to anybody else for any reasons whatever. That would include the patient's own prescribing doctor, their pharmacist, and their attorney.

We need to reform the way certain actors of Big Pharma hides its published drug inserts from the patients and from the doctors and from the attorneys, especially thyroid medication drug inserts published from large companies outside the USA, but it is their drug fulfilling the US doctor's scripts. This behavior should be made into criminal felonies when patients are prohibited from knowing exactly what the manufacturer found in its studies to be adverse effects of any prescribed drug. This appears to be coordinated behavior by certain companies.

In addition, if it takes a doctor 10 minutes or more to explain this to the patient, but Medicaid/Medicare only pays the doctor for part of the time billed, if fully informed consent is a requirement of proper medical treatment and proper Constitutional respect for each patient making their own informed medical decisions, then the Medicare/Medicaid schedule should be reviewed to make sure its payment schedule properly respects the legal requirements imposed upon the medical profession in terms of fully informed medical consent.

Meanwhile the amount of money going to Home Care for product delivery is often outrageously high for things that are greatly overpriced, even considering built in costs that most of those products are shipped to the patients. A person may need what they are getting, but they appear to be prohibited from buying what Medicare will pay for elsewhere where it might be way cheaper if they could take the doctor's prescription and bill it to Medicare. The Medicare payment rules should be revisisted.

Susan. THANK YOU! New and fascinating info for me. I wonder if there is an ICD-10 code for doctors to use when taking that kind of time for informed consent that wld allow for greater reimbursement from insurance. Because you are spot on. Most people don't make that connection. I did not realize different generic manufacturers cld use different fillers on generic drugs AND that pharmacies pick and coose what to carry. The pharmacies absolutely shld be on the hook for informed consent ESPECIALLY since they are defacto doctors offices dispensing shots on site. I mean airlines won't even give you peanuts without asking about allergies. This is a mad mad mad mad world.

Thanks for this recap, Garrie! A truly 'Watershed Week' of GREAT news, thanks to MAHA, the HHS & it's intrepid & integral leader, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr!🗡️🛡️🗽

I don't know where to start with massive applause👏👏👏 & kudos~

For the unanimous vote of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), for rejecting 👏👏👏🗽recommendation of the COVID jab-- citing a litany of its human health/life risks.

For targeting & stopping👏👏👏🗽 the use of certain living animal research & testing models. A humane endeavor to end ALL lab animal incarceration & vivisection tortures‼️

More food corporations jumping on board (waking up to better human health or alert to the purchasing power of We the People rejecting their toxic products additives-- e.g. corn syrup, dyes, preservatives, fillers, etc.-- poisons all! A special nod to Tyson & McDonalds for acting on this. AND, for Mickey D'$ participation in Regenerative Agriculture-- incentivizing more of our nation's farmers, to restore the soil & better the health of surrounding evironment - domestic animals & wildlife-- thus, increasing human health!!

For the Justice Dept. in cooperation with HHS, going after & getting the arrest & extradition 👏👏👏🗽of the long-time corrupt CDC contractor-in-crime, the pilfering of taxpayer $$$ for his hedonistic 'viking' lifestyle, Poul Thorsen‼️

Yes! I participated in a Thank you rally to RFK Jr yesterday. I drove two hours one way to get there. I owed it to Bobby for rooting out corruption at the highest level. We stood on bothe sides of an overpass with big banners and signs. There were appx 30 partipates. Waving and smiling at people in their cars stopped at intersections on all sides. We roughly calculated one negative response to 10 positives with honks being positive over a two hour period. This was in Portland, Oregon of all places. I expected much worse. MAHA is making a difference. RFK is ruffling feathers and changing the game. Childrens Health defense and Mary Holland are finally mainstream and people cant say they didnt know. Keep on keeping on!!!

Happy to hear there'll be no finding for research involving sex alteration on animals. The supreme homosapien lifeform is the only animal stood enough to think they can surgically change their gender. Poor unsuspecting animals didn't need not want that abuse.

https://www.tysonfoods.com/news/news-releases/2023/10/tyson-foods-announces-partnership-protix-more-sustainable-protein. FYI - I will never eat anything from Tyson foods as they partnered to promote crickets as a sustainable source of food. The link provided is to news article promoting it. No way will I buy anything from that company.

Annie. Thank you for that link. I have a protest in mind for our local Tyson manufacturers. I've never liked Tyson products but I was not aware of the cricket buy in. Lord help us all. I wld imagine it's in all pet foods now based on what that article said. I just wonder what kind of description to cover up the actual words cricket or bug might be used on their ingredient list, geezer!
