A federal judge in California has rejected an effort by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to overturn a jury verdict that awarded $7.8 million to six former employees who were fired for refusing to comply with the agency’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate on religious grounds.
Scott, executive director of the World Peace Through Education Foundation, filed his amended appeal and petition for Writ of Mandamus on January 8, 2025, accusing the Gates Foundation of exploiting its tax-exempt status while engaging in vaccine-related profiteering.
“Under the pretense of improving World Health, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation/Trust has been engaged in the promotion, manufacture and sale of Covid-19 vaccines that were not sufficiently tested for safety or for effectiveness for their intended use,” Scott stated bluntly in his filing.
He argues that the IRS should retroactively tax these activities as ordinary income and cease allowing the foundation’s alleged misuse of tax exemptions.
“The claim that its efforts are charity are bogus and it has acted in bad faith,” Scott charged, amplifying his calls for government accountability.
I don't really know where to begin, or to get "standing".
By rolling out vaccines that caused so much harm, Pfizer essentially led millions of Americans to their own demise. It’s for this very reason that Texas, Louisiana, Kansas, Utah, and Mississippi are taking the big pharma company to court.
Each of these states alleges that Pfizer misled the public about the safety and efficiency of COVID jabs. Furthermore, Pfizer stands accused of hiding the fact that its vaccines could cause pregnancy complications, myocarditis, pericarditis, and even death.
In light of this, the five states suing Pfizer are seeking damages and civil monetary penalties. On top of this, they’re asking the court to issue an injunction that prevents Pfizer from further marketing COVID immunizations as reliable and safe for consumption.
The big pharma company’s claim that getting vaccinated would protect people’s loved ones against COVID is also being challenged in court. Through this claim, Pfizer asserted repeatedly that COVID vaccination would prevent virus transmission.

It is the far-left Pulitzer Board’s worst nightmare. Yesterday, Fox ran the story under the headline, “Trump scores big legal win against Pulitzer Prize board members as lawsuit moves to discovery.” The sub-headline reported the worst possible news for Pulitzer: “Pulitzer Prize board communications will not be protected from discovery in the landmark case.”
This might even be worse than losing the lawsuit outright. Back in 2022, Trump sued the Pulitzer Board for defamation, because it shamed itself by granting Pulitzer Prizes in 2018 to the New York Times and to the Washington Post for, get this, their fake-news reporting on RussiaGate.
Last week, corporate media crowed with anticipatory delight over the Board’s excellent motion to prevent discovery, in which it argued that the internal emails and texts between board members would embarrass the Board and besmirch the vaunted reputation of the Pulitzer Prize itself. Scores of articles reported the Board’s motion.
Only Fox reported that after the hearing, the judge denied the Board’s dumb motion and ordered it to turn over the communications. Corporate media was silent yesterday.
As I’ve told you many times, discovery is a worst-case scenario for the Board. I’d bet a week’s salary the Board members are Trump-deranged lunatics, and their internal communications, instead of reflecting professional acumen, journalistic expertise, and wise restraint, probably more resemble a Discord channel of middle-school mean girls.
Embarrassing, indeed. It could destroy the award, not that anyone would care. The Board should settle. Immediately. Expect a generous offer soon.

No big deal. Patrick lets us use this site for free.
Half of the time I can't even quote at all in the https://www.f150gen14.com/ forum.
Sorry, my mistake. I meant that I cannot get quoting of selections to work on an iphone.
Also, when quoting a small portion on an iphone, it doesn't jump to the comment box, right?
How much did they pay out, and how much of it made it to the white guys who were discriminated against?
I just did this as a selection quote in my iPhone 13.
The state of Kansas can sue Pfizer in state court for misleading the public about its COVID-19 vaccines, a federal judge ruled today.
Pfizer tried to keep the case in federal court, arguing that the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act), which shields COVID-19 vaccine makers from liability for injuries caused by the vaccines, “completely preempts” consumer protection claims made by the state of Kansas.
Ray Flores, senior outside counsel for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), called the ruling a “major victory.”
“This first-of-its-kind ruling declares Pfizer’s deceptions aren’t afforded carte blanche treatment, as Mr. Bourla [CEO of Pfizer] probably assumed they’d be,” Flores said.
CHD General Counsel Kim Mack Rosenberg agreed. “This decision is important because it creates a viable path for Pfizer to potentially be held accountable for its wrongdoing on a massive scale.”
On June 17, 2024, Kansas sued Pfizer, alleging the pharmaceutical giant misled the public by marketing its COVID-19 vaccine as “safe and effective” while concealing known risks and critical data on limited effectiveness.
The lawsuit, filed by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach in the District Court of Thomas County, alleged that beginning in 2021, Pfizer covered up the fact that the vaccine was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies and deaths.
The complaint also alleged the company falsely claimed that its original vaccine retained high efficacy while knowing that efficacy waned over time and didn’t protect against new variants.
Pfizer also misled the public by claiming the COVID-19 vaccine would prevent transmission, even though the company never studied the vaccine’s capability to prevent transmission.
By marketing the vaccine as safe and effective despite its known risks, Pfizer violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act because millions of Kansans heard those misrepresentations, the complaint alleged.
Lawsuit is about deceptive marketing, not physical injuries or death
In July 2024, Pfizer successfully removed the Kansas lawsuit to federal court. However, in a September 2024 motion, Kansas asked for the case to be sent back to state court.
Pfizer filed an opposing motion in October 2024, in which it presented three arguments for why the case belonged in federal court. The final argument was that Kansas’ claims were “completely preempted by the PREP Act and are thus removable to federal court.”
In today’s ruling, U.S. District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree rejected all three of Pfizer’s arguments.
Crabtree rejected Pfizer’s PREP Act argument because all of Kansas’ claims are about deceptive marketing, not physical injury or death from Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot. “That point alone ends the debate,” Crabtree wrote.
How many hundreds of billions does The Establishment owe in damages for racist affirmative action and DEI?
The Supreme Court’s 9-0 Ames decision this week in which the Justices finally cleared up a 44-year-long dispute among federal circuit courts, with five of the 12 districts holding that whites, men, and straights should be discriminated against in discrimination law, has mostly elicited rather baffled commentary in the mainstream media.
You see, if you accept the conventional wisdom about white supremacy and systemic racism, the news that the Supreme Court tolerated since 1981 an indefensibly blatant racist anti-white concoction with no legislative basis whatsoever is … well, hard to process. Does Not Compute in your worldview. ...
Meanwhile, in The Nation, Elie Mystal admits that the Supreme Court made the right decision, but worries that America will become bogged down in discrimination lawsuits.
The husband of a nurse who died of a turbo-cancer a few months after being 'vaccinated' under coercion against Covid-19 is filing a complaint for 'premeditated poisoning.'
July 5, 2024: Regardless of age, income, gender, ethnicity or political party, the unlawful COVID-19 mandates and harmful mRNA injections have had profound effects on all Americans. Recognizing the catastrophic harm that was inflicted upon them, millions of Americans want to seek legal recourse against the federal agencies and biopharma companies responsible for fraudulently unleashing the COVID-19 “safe and effective vaccines” on innocent adults and children. The good news is the US Supreme Court is on the side of the American people.
In Corner Post vs. The Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court affirmed parties who are harmed by a regulated company that was operating under the Code of Federal Regulations (in alliance with US laws) have the right to challenge the legality of a law or regulatory action within 6 years of being harmed under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
A federal jury in St. Louis awarded over $4 million to 13 current and former employees of St. Louis Public Schools who were denied religious exemptions from the district's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

A group of 19 teachers who sued the city of New York after they were denied religious exemptions from COVID-19 vaccine mandates are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review lower court rulings, which they allege unconstitutionally favored some religious beliefs over others.
In a petition filed Monday, the teachers allege that New York City granted religious exemptions only to people who belonged to religions whose leaders had not publicly endorsed COVID-19 vaccination.
School District Forced to Apologize, Pay $20,000 After Suspending Student for Saying ‘Illegal Aliens’
A North Carolina school district has been ordered to admit its mistake, publicly apologize, and pay $20,000 after being sued for suspending a 16-year-old student for using the term “illegal aliens” during a class discussion.
The legal battle, which lasted for a year, was finally settled on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, marking a victory for the student’s First Amendment rights.
The lawsuit was filed after Davidson County Schools suspended Christian McGhee in April 2023 for asking, “Do you mean space aliens or illegal aliens who need green cards?” during an English class discussion.
Although the student was making a simple point about the language being used in the debate, the school deemed his comment racially insensitive, resulting in a three-day suspension and marks indicating “racially insensitive behavior” on his permanent record. ...
This settlement sends a strong message to public schools: students’ constitutional rights must be respected, and educators should think twice before infringing on free speech for the sake of political correctness.

Corporations in particular are afraid of lawsuits because they have a lot of money. Sue them first.
But it's also useful to sue the government when they are violating our rights.
