The Biden administration excluded the FBI from an August 2021 White House intelligence briefing, preventing the bureau from presenting evidence supporting the theory that COVID-19 may have leaked from a lab, the Wall Street Journal reported.

🚨 BREAKING: New Study Linking Fluoride to Lower IQ in Children Sparks Renewed Calls to End Water Fluoridation

A meta-analysis of 74 epidemiological studies examining the link between children’s IQ and fluoride exposure found that the more fluoride pregnant women and young children are exposed to, the greater the decrease in a child’s IQ.

The study, published today in JAMA Pediatrics, was conducted by scientists from the NIH's National Toxicology Program.

The in-depth statistical meta-analysis is the largest and most rigorous ever conducted on fluoride, according to a commentary accompanying the study, and their findings highlight the need to “reassess systemic fluoride exposure, again.”

In the U.S., about 40-70% of a person’s fluoride intake comes from fluoridated drinking water.

The EPA has until the end of the month to file an appeal contesting the federal judge’s order that the agency make new rules regulating water fluoridation based on the risk it poses to children’s neurodevelopment.

“NTPs findings highlight the need for the EPA to move quickly in taking regulatory action to protect the public from the risk posed by fluoridation.” — Michael Connett

⚠️ GMO Tomato Project Funded by Gates Foundation and U.S. Taxpayers Hits Roadblock

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and DARPA, a division of the U.S. Department of Defense, are funding research to genetically engineer tomatoes to be able to disrupt the reproductive cycle of the whitefly, a common insect that damages tomato plants.

“Tomatoes engineered with insecticides to disrupt reproduction may sound like a breakthrough, but they raise critical questions about safety, transparency, and the ethics of modifying food crops to attack life at its reproductive core." — Jon Fleetwood

⚠️ Pesticide Banned in Europe But Widely Used in U.S. Makes Brain Cells Age Faster

Exposure to atrazine can harm the hypothalamus, an essential part of the brain, increasing the risk of neurodegenerative disease, according to a recently released study in mice.

Atrazine has also been associated with liver, kidney and heart damage in animals, according to the CDC.

🚨 FDA’s Own Study Finds DNA Contamination in Pfizer Vaccines

🚨 Leading Public Health Figure Calls on Biden to Authorize Bird Flu Vaccine

During a Dec. 29, 2024, interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Dr. Leana Wen, the former commissioner of the Baltimore City Health Department and a professor of public health at George Washington University, accused the outgoing Biden administration of not doing enough to address the bird flu outbreak and criticized the lack of availability of a bird flu vaccine.

Wen suggested the Trump administration would seek additional evidence of the vaccine’s effectiveness before authorizing it. (That's a bad thing? Shouldn't safety and effectiveness be priority?)

There have been 66 confirmed bird flu cases in the U.S., all but one of which caused only mild illness, and there have been no reports of human-to-human transmission of the virus.

Fact-checking Mainstream Media: Did RFK Jr. Cause Measles Outbreak in Samoa That Killed 83 Children?

The Samoan measles outbreak had a particularly high case fatality rate because children either didn’t seek medical treatment in Samoa’s broken healthcare system or because doctors used ineffective treatments.

“He couldn’t have caused it, because the damage was already done.” — Dr. Vinay Prasad

🚨 Vermont Supreme Court Ruling Allows Schools to Administer COVID Vaccines Without Parents’ Consent

"If a teacher or worker were to be held liable for whacking a child with a stick while injecting a COVID-19 vaccine, why could they not be equally sued for the jab itself? The Vermont Court has enabled the physical battery by injection of a child by government employees seeking cash bonuses." — Brownstone Institute
