TRANSCRIPT

SOPHY MEDINA: Good afternoon. My name is Sophy Medina. I was born and raised here and have lived here my entire life except for my time in the marines. This is my family [points to husband and two children]. Tommy and I are firefighters on forced leave without pay because we didn't take a shot that proved to be useless at best and harmful at worst. Five firefighters are suddenly dead after the vaccine mandates and many others are quietly suffering with adverse reactions and they are afraid to speak up publicly.

We both worked throughout the worst of the pandemic. We worked without proper protective equipment and we both acquired natural immunity. We went from essential to expendable and no one seems to care, which is ironic if you remember the banging of the pots and pans at 7 PM every night.

My face was used many times by the FDNY to recruit and promote diversity by the FDNY. I was here in these chambers, I remember your face when I was testifying about the terrible treatment of certain women on this job. But since these mandates, and the FDNY's problem to recruit and retain women like myself, since the mandates we have been shunned from our place of work and from society in New York City.

But there were no vaccine mandates to ride the trains and buses where vaccinated and unvaccinated were side-by-side this whole time. Divisive messaging from the top down has relegated my family and I, and many others like me, to become second class citizens in our own city.

We've worked in public service our whole lives. Tommy in Sanitation before this, myself as a lifeguard as a teenager,
a marine before, and a firefighter now.

Being a firefighter is not just a job for any of us. It's a vocation, truly a calling that takes a certain type of person who's both tough and compassionate. It's a dedication to serve when bad things happen, and to help people on their worst days and their most vulnerable moments. We've responded to victims of assault [time alarm sounds], I've translated between patients and advanced medical providers, and we've operated at fires with little regard for our own safety and lives.

TOMMY: She can take my two minutes over.

GALE A. BREWER: OK.

SOPHY MEDINA: Tommy has been twice decorated by the FDNY for going above and beyond at fires, one of them during he pandemic, no less. We've never asked anyone's vaccination status
when providing help when called.

These mandates have taken away our ability to provide for our family. It is still impossible to find work in this city, even after the shift from the CDC.

The constant strain and pressure during this time has been really hard for my family and I.Years of hard work and saved money for our future have gone down the drain and will affect us on a generational level, as it's taking away from our children and their future, and it's taking away from our parents, who we've been preparing to care for in their golden years.

Our kids were forced out of their swimming classes and out of public school, since we won't subject them to participate in a system where their parents aren't allowed.

Instead of recognizing that our stance was indeed right, we are still being punished by the City of New York. Our religious exemptions were denied and our medical exemptions are being sat on by the very people who are supposed to be preserving and fighting for our rights.

There's no state of emergency. And the city is bleeding out money trying to recruit while many of us are out in the cold, wanting to work. And the city is losing valuable years of expertise. City jobs used to be coveted for providing job stability and now no one wants these jobs because they have witnessed the disrespect to all the city workers who chose to stand up for themselves.

Never forget that first responders were told the air was safe to breathe after 9/11, and never forget that we were told that this crap was safe and effective. And here we are now.

Thank you.

GALE W. BREWER: Thank you very much. And thank you to the family for being here.

Rapid Progression of Angioimmunoblastic T Cell Lymphoma Following BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccine Booster Shot: A Case Report

Since nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines strongly activate T follicular helper cells, it is important to explore the possible impact of approved SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines on neoplasms affecting this cell type. Herein, we report and discuss unexpected rapid progression of lymphomatous lesions after administration of a BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine booster in a man recently diagnosed with AITL.

💉 Former NFL star Cedric Killings, 45, died on June 21st from pancreatic cancer. Cedric famously survived a broken neck in 2007, but his turbo cancer bested him.

Killings leaves behind a wife and three children. I couldn’t find anything more about his cancer, his treatment, and so on. Medical privacy, you know.

💉 On Wednesday, Mike Ness, 61, beloved frontman for Los Angeles punk rock band Social Distortion, announced on Instagram he has stage one tonsil cancer, which for obvious reasons makes it hard to sing.

Social Distortion is canceling its planned summer tour and postponing its upcoming album release.

On his social media, Ness told fans “The recovery from surgery is a day-by-day process and in three weeks we start radiation and that should be the last therapy I need. The team of doctors are certain that once finished with this course, I will be able to start the healing and recovery process. We expect a full recovery enabling me to live a long and productive life.”

We pray for a good report from Ness’ doctors and a complete recovery so the senior citizen can resume belting out his punk rock creations.

💉 Irish A-list actor Ray Stevenson, 58, died suddenly and unexpectedly at the end of May on a movie set. Ray is well known, having starred in top-billed productions like Thor, Rome, King Arthur, the Three Musketeers, Dexter, the Punisher, Vikings, Star Wars, and many other recent top Hollywood offerings.

On May 20th, Ray was in Italy filming a new Paramount Pictures comedy called ‘Cassino In Ischia,’ when he “suffered a sudden illness” and was rushed to the hospital. Ray died the next day.

And that’s all we get. Isn’t it odd there’s not more news about a top-rated, well-known actor’s sudden and unexpected on-set death? Medical privacy, please.

Ray is survived by his wife, Italian anthropologist Elisabetta Caraccia, and their three sons.

Damn! This guy was great in Rome. I always enjoyed catching him unexpectedly in a streaming series, like Dexter.

Ray Stevenson did look old for his age. Brit alcoholic actors still quaffing and smoking would commonly die around 50s or 60s or so, don't know Ray's status. Couda been vaxicided or alcoholcided or both.

I'm sure this at least 10x normal rates, but the article fails to show the normal rates.

IF you want to know rates, pick a fixed section of the population - for example, NFL players, and see if there is a higher injury rate now than there was before. Any random group would do - it's POSSIBLE that NFL was given placebos, so what's a group that wouldn't be? How about deaths at an average university? That would require more work, but would likely be reported.

Bodybuilder Jo Linder Passes Away at 30 from Aneurysm – Alleges Heavy Metal Found in his Blood During His Routine Blood Work After Receiving 4 Jabs (VIDEO)

Tragic News: Actress Succumbs to Assisted Suicide Following Covid-19 Booster Injuries



The model and actress had received her Covid-19 booster shot a year ago, which she believed would enhance her immune system.

Tragically, Pavelek experienced significant health deterioration thereafter, according to Evie Magazine.

The outlet reported:

Like most people, Pavelek thought the jab would improve her immune system – instead, it did the opposite, and she suffered heavily as a result.

Pavelek was diagnosed with an incurable chronic neurological illness known as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a long-term illness with a wide range of symptoms that affects daily activities. At times, this condition may confine people to their beds. ME/CFS can worsen if individuals with this illness overwork themselves. The model was also suspected to have respiratory ALS, a neurodegenerative disorder that weakens the muscles involved in breathing and swallowing.

Pavelek publicly addressed her thousands of followers on Instagram on June 1, 2023, announcing her heartbreaking decision to end her life due to the severity of her illness.

“Hi guys, over last 10 days I became severely ill again homebound unable to do much. My body is too weak to fight this illness and I have no more strength so I made decision to end my life at Pegasos association in Switzerland. I was diagnosed with untreatable chronic neurological illness,” Pavelek wrote.

“ME/CFS caused by booster jab on top of having suspected respiratory ALS. This illness made me disabled, unable to work or have social life and unable to enjoy life all together. Breathing have become more and more difficult and painful for me and my lung function has been declining. Thank you for all your friendship and support over last year,” she added.

Pavelek expressed her belief that the booster jab she had received had been the catalyst for her deteriorating health.

“The booster jab I received over year ago destroyed my health, my body and my life completely. There is no other way to end my suffering other than the decision I made,” she concluded.

1,884 Athlete Cardiac Arrests in 2.5 Years, 1,310 Dead

https://slaynews.com/news/1884-athlete-cardiac-arrests-in-2-5-years-1310-dead/


In the past two and a half years, the number of athletes suffering sudden cardiac arrests and related issues has soared to alarming levels.

In early 2021, young athletes started suddenly collapsing with heart-related medical emergencies.

Since then, a staggering 1,884 cardiac arrests or other serious issues have been recorded among athletes.

Unfortunately, 1,310 of those athletes died suddenly.

Good Sciencing has been maintaining a non-exhaustive and continuously growing list of mainly young athletes who suffered major medical issues in 2021, 2022, and the first half of 2023.

According to Good Sciencing, all of the athletes on the list share one common factor: They suffered sudden serious health issues after receiving one or more doses of Covid shots.

Not that many. Britain's Covid hoax ended overnight with the plinking death of a single central MI6 figure. Question is, how to get to those 'central figures' and not their puppets and fake avatar fronts.

I still don't know of anyone who has died from the jab or of turbo cancer or any odd heart attacks of young people. Just saying.

I don't believe the jab is worth the risk. I also believe there is propaganda on both sides of the jab question. Overall, what's most unfortunate is there is no way to prove one way or the other. I mean solid proof that would change people's minds. I still see some people wearing masks. There is something better, I believe, that we should be focusing on now and that is why? Why is the government and media doing these things. And by "things" I mean the Big 4...1. open borders, 2. plandemic(s), 3. race baiting and 4. focusing on LGB. Those are the Big 4s as I see it.

Unless we can get the government to drop what they're contributing/enabling/causing these problems, we as a nation will NEVER be able to break the chains that are ever so steadily tightening around our wrists. Shameful.

Chalk up another one, my neighbor on one side of my house. Dude was a retired police officer maybe 65. Walked around every day seemed healthy. Saw him in a wheelchair being pushed by family yesterday and today found out he has a big brain tumor, inoperable cancer. He seems already checked out, and I remember him saying he was vaxxed and believed in it.

Why does a bully constantly beat up on another kid?

They are just sadistic.

You ask the wrong questions - the government doesn't need reasons to do what it does, the fact that you go along with them, is reason enough. They are just testing the public's gullibility and laughing about it. It's not THEIR fault a police officer will taser you and mace you not complying after all, that's the cop's fault.

GNL says

There is no government, it's just a group of criminals.

It's POSSIBLE (although improbable) they just killed every single person that took the vaccine in a 0-10 year span. They could have LITERALLY done that. As USUAL, the vast majority of people don't question it, 1/2 the people that do question it are just doing it because they are partisan hack twats, and then what's left over genuinely are just suspicious of a new technology.

1)open borders: they’re getting more cheap labor to replace what’s been lost or about to be lost
2)Plandemic was to create fear for sole purpose of pushing an unsafe untested v jab into as many arms as possible. EVERYTHING they did was to achieve that goal. It’s absolutely obvious.
3)Race baiting has always been about “divide and conquer” Machiavellian strategy to obscure their obscene privilege from an increasingly connected populace.
4)LGBTQ promotion is to normalize the perversions they enjoy on the sly. It’s also to promote Satanism and normalize that as well. They’re marching with Satanist banners in the pride parades now. The masks have come off, elite pedophilia and Satanism has been exposed. Promoting Pride is just proselytizing for their religion.
5)Reducing human population is the ultimate goal, and it’s well under way. They pulled out all the stops, burned their pet media with nonstop lies, called in every political favor and piece of blackmail they had to make the jabs go into arms.
They can’t do that twice, and they KNEW that. This wasn’t the trial run for the depopulation jab. This was that jab.
People are dying now in increasing numbers even as the jabs have (mostly) stopped going into arms. Myocarditis is killing peoples slowly or suddenly, as is Turbo Cancer.
My neighbor has got weeks to live after his diagnosis suddenly arrived (inoperable brain cancer). He’s already incapacitated. His family is gathered for his passing.

It’s going to happen.
Prepare.

Shaman says

It’s going to happen.
Prepare.

But what is the overall reason? To stay in power or to crash the west? Or other?

GNL says

But what is the overall reason? To stay in power or to crash the west? Or other?

The Club of Rome set has been drinking their own kool aid. They've thought since the early 1970's that:

1) There are too many monkeys on the rock.
2) Habitat preservation cannot be achieved with modern population levels (this has been a thing among ruling elites ever since the Enclosure Laws beginning in the 16th century in England).
3) Computers and automation can largely replace slaves/serfs, so excess eaters are superfluous.

This means destroying nation states and replacing them with mega fiefdoms - kind of like Solaria in Asimov's novel "The Naked Sun."

💉 You’re not going to believe this headline from Science Insider (a Science.org publication), but it actually happened:



Now, to be perfectly fair, the article does its damndest to claim that vaccine-induced long covid injuries “seem very rare” and probably happen less often than virus-induced long covid. I don’t agree with or believe this analysis, and think it was only included to evade journalistic censorship.

Apart from those lame attempts to reassure nervous jab-takers, here’s what Science Insider said about the "safest and most effective vaccines in history":

[L]ike all vaccines, those targeting the coronavirus can cause side effects in some people, including rare cases of abnormal blood clotting and heart inflammation. Another apparent complication, a debilitating suite of symptoms that resembles Long Covid, has been more elusive, its link to vaccination unclear and its diagnostic features ill-defined. But in recent months, what some call Long Vax has gained wider acceptance among doctors and scientists, and some are now working to better understand and treat its symptoms.
“You see one or two patients and you wonder if it’s a coincidence,” said Anne Louise Oaklander, a neurologist and researcher at Harvard Medical School. “But by the time you’ve seen 10, 20,” she continued, trailing off. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”
… [R]esearchers and clinicians are increasingly finding some alignment with known medical conditions. One is small fiber neuropathy, a condition [Dr.] Oaklander studies, in which nerve damage can cause tingling or electric shock–like sensations, burning pain, and blood circulation problems. The second is a more nebulous syndrome, with symptoms sometimes triggered by small fiber neuropathy, called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It can involve muscle weakness, swings in heart rate and blood pressure, fatigue, and brain fog.
… Postvaccination illness is “a long, relentless disease,” said Lawrence Purpura, an infectious disease specialist at Columbia University[.]
The article even coined a catchy new term for the symptoms, “Long Vax.” Just think about how significant it is they’re finally putting a name on it. Science Insider speculated, don’t cough up your coffee, that the injuries might be caused by the SPIKE PROTEIN, which the jabs force peoples’ cells to keep on making for months and months. Or longer.

If only anyone could have known.

Science Insider ruefully admitted that, so far, there are no known treatments to help those suffering from Long Vax. There’s no magic vaccine for THAT. The article reported promising early anecdotes about plasma exchange, where people’s blood is washed outside their bodies and then squirted back in, which showed initial improvements in patients, but then they “recently returned with worsening symptoms.”

Is it perhaps time for a new Operation Warp Speed? Don’t count on it.

The researchers, who were 100% sure the jabs were safe and effective, are baffled. Maybe the Long Vax came back after blood-washing because patients’ cells were still making spike? Don’t ask me, I’m just a lawyer, not a nano-biological weapons engineer.

Still, the fact the article appeared at all, and in an orthodox publication, is progress.

A Systematic Review of Autopsy Findings in Deaths after COVID-19 Vaccination
48 Pages Posted: 5 Jul 2023

Background: The rapid development and widespread deployment of COVID-19 vaccines, combined with a high number of adverse event reports, have led to concerns over possible mechanisms of injury including systemic lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and mRNA distribution, spike protein-associated tissue damage, thrombogenicity, immune system dysfunction, and carcinogenicity. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate possible causal links between COVID-19 vaccine administration and death using autopsies and post-mortem analysis. ...

Most deaths occurred within a week from last vaccine administration. A total of 240 deaths (73.9%) were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination.

Interpretation: The consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine adverse events, their mechanisms, and related excess death, coupled with autopsy confirmation and physician-led death adjudication, suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death in most cases.
