Poliovirus found in Brooklyn and Queens sewage, New York health officials say

 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has extended the state of emergency declared in response to the spread of poliovirus after sewage tested positive in Brooklyn and Queens.

 

Hochul said the state disaster emergency will remain in place at least through Nov. 8 to support statewide efforts to boost the vaccination rate against polio.

 

The New York State Department of Health, in a statement Tuesday, said the sewage sample that tested positive in Brooklyn and Queens is genetically linked to the virus that paralyzed an unvaccinated adult in Rockland County over the summer.

 

The unvaccinated adult from Rockland County is the only known case of paralysis in the U.S. so far, but state health officials have said there are likely hundreds of people spreading the virus without symptoms.

 

“These findings put an alarming exclamation point on what we have already observed: unvaccinated people are at a real and unnecessary risk,” New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett and New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said in a joint statement.

 

A total of 70 sewage samples have tested positive for poliovirus in the New York City metropolitan area so far, according to New York state health officials. The virus has been detected in sewage from Kings, Nassau, Orange, Queens, Rockland, and Sullivan counties.

 

More than 28,000 doses of polio vaccine have been administered since July in Rockland, Orange, Sullivan and Nassau countries, according to state health officials.

75-year-old arrested for plotting to kidnap German health minister

 

German police in Rhineland-Palatinate on Thursday arrested a 75-year-old woman for plotting to kidnap Health Minister Karl Lauterbach and bring down the country’s power grid.

 

According to reports by the German news outlet T-Online the woman is called Elisabeth R., a professor of theology from the University of Mainz who has worked as a protestant pastor.

 

She was active in the militant anti-vax movement that holds Lauterbach accountable for the country’s hawkish approach toward COVID-19 and sees him as their arch-enemy. Elisabeth R. promoted conspiracy theories about "secretive remodeling of brain structures" in this context and made anti-Semitic remarks about the "world jewry."

 

Four other members of a group called "United Patriots," of which Elisabeth R. is the leader, have also been arrested, according to the authorities. She was already stripped of her pension after attracting attention due to anti-constitutional statements years ago.

World leaders pledge $2.6 billion to eradicate polio

 

The United Nation's health agency said during a summit in Berlin on Tuesday that it had received some $2.6 billion (€2.64 billion) in pledges as part of its five-year campaign to end the deadly polio virus.

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) welcomed the funding but warned that eradicating the disease by 2026 would be no easy feat, pointing especially to the rise in cases this year, including in countries previously thought to be free of the virus.

 

"The new detections of polio this year in previously polio-free countries are a stark reminder that if we do not deliver our goal of ending polio everywhere, it may resurge globally," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

 

"We must remember the significant challenges we have overcome to get this far against polio, stay the course and finish the job once and for all."

Doc who thinks vaccinated people are magnetic is in big trouble with med board

 

The State Medical Board of Ohio is threatening to limit, suspend, or even permanently revoke the medical license of Sherri Tenpenny, the infamous anti-vaccine doctor who made headlines last year for falsely testifying to state lawmakers that COVID-19 vaccinations make people magnetic—among espousing other nonsensical anti-vaccine-related conspiracy theories.

 

"I'm sure you've seen the pictures all over the Internet of people who have had these shots and now they're magnetized," Tenpenny said in her viral testimony. "You can put a key on their forehead—it sticks. You can put spoons and forks all over and they can stick because now we think there is a metal piece to that."

 

She went on to suggest that there may be an "interface—yet to be defined" between the components of lifesaving vaccines and "all of the 5G towers." She added that the connection is "not proven yet" but that "we're trying to figure [it] out."

 

That bizarre testimony was given on June 8, 2021. About a month later, on July 14, an investigator for the state medical board showed up at Tenpenny's medical office wanting to ask her some questions, according to a letter from the state medical board, which was dated September 14, 2022.

 

The medical board has not disclosed what the investigator was there to ask Tenpenny or why she was under investigation. However, it's hard to imagine that magnetism wouldn't come up in the conversation.

Alex Jones’ Lawyer Sues Big Pharma Over Mandates: Plaintiffs Can’t Be Vaccinated Because Their Bodies Are ‘Temples of the Holy Spirit’

 

Norm Pattis, the controversial Connecticut attorney for Alex Jones, is now behind a federal lawsuit seeking to hold a major pharmaceutical company responsible for forcing Christian employees to violate their beliefs that their bodies are “temples of the Holy Spirit” by getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

 

Pattis’ firm filed suit Thursday in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts against Takeda Pharmaceuticals, alleging claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for discriminating on the basis of religious beliefs. In the complaint, plaintiffs say that in Takeda’s quest to “create ‘highly-innovative medicines,'” the company “fosters a business culture and set of employment practices hostile to religious beliefs it believes might impede its scientific mission.”

 

The plaintiffs — a group of former employees of Takeda Pharmaceuticals — contend they were victims of religious discrimination because they were fired for refusing to get vaccinated.

As measles outbreak sickens more than a dozen children in Ohio, local health officials seek help from CDC

 

A growing measles outbreak in Columbus, Ohio, has sickened more than a dozen unvaccinated children and hospitalized nine of them, and local public health officials are seeking assistance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 

“We asked the CDC for assistance and they will be sending two epidemiologists at the end of the month to assist with our local investigation,” Kelli Newman, a spokesperson for Columbus Public Health, told CNN in an email Thursday. 

 

The CDC confirmed Thursday that it is aware of the cases and is “deploying a small team to Ohio to assist on the ground with the investigation.”

Hospitals Are Full of Kids Sick With RSV—And Anti-Vaxxers Think It’s a Hoax

 

Across the country, children’s hospitals are reporting record numbers of admissions—not just from Covid, but also from a host of other seasonal respiratory viruses. Particularly worrisome among these is respiratory syncytial virus, more commonly known as RSV. The illness, which can make breathing difficult for young children and elderly adults, can be fatal, typically killing a few hundred children and as many as 10,000 seniors every year. Drug companies have been trying for years to develop a pediatric vaccine for the virus with little success—until last month, when Pfizer announced that it would seek approval for its new shot after clinical trials showed it was extremely effective. Pfizer’s RSV vaccine, which is given to pregnant women before delivery so that they can pass antibodies on to the developing fetus, was hailed by pediatricians as a major accomplishment.

 

Yet it didn’t take long before anti-vaccine activists began to distort the facts about this vaccine and others in the pipeline. Some of the most prominent have suggested that pharmaceutical companies are exploiting the current RSV surge in order to create a market for their forthcoming shots. Joseph Mercola, the influencer who built an empire on spreading health misinformation, made this argument in a rambling article he published earlier this month. “The fact that RSV is now being highlighted as a severe risk is understandable,” he wrote, “in light of the fact that the first-ever RSV vaccines are now in the pipeline.” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the founder of the anti-vaccine advocacy group Children’s Health Defense, swiftly tweeted that article out to his 481,000 followers.

It still amazes me that enough people want to ignore decades of miraculous medical progress, to literally make a major political party decide that jumping on board is a political winner.

 

Yeah, there's always been an element. But 20 years from now, are we just going to be accepting things like measles and polio, the way we currently accept mass shootings?  Just a shrug, and "gee, it just is"?

Ohio measles outbreak nearly triples, expected to last “several months”

 

A measles outbreak in the Columbus, Ohio, area has nearly tripled in the last two weeks as officials say they're struggling to identify the geographic spread of the outbreak and expect it to drag on for months.

 

Confirmed cases have risen from 18 in mid-November to the confirmed case count of 50, as of Friday morning. Twenty of the cases have required hospitalization. No deaths have been reported.

 

All of the sickened children are entirely unvaccinated. Nine of the cases are in babies under the age of 1 year, who are typically not yet eligible for vaccination. Twenty-six cases are in infants ages 1 to 2 years—who are eligible for their first dose. Ten cases are in toddlers ages 3 to 5—some of whom would have been eligible for their second dose—and there are five cases in children between the ages of 6 and 17.

 

In a press conference earlier this week, health officials said that at least 25 percent of the area's 2-year-olds have not been vaccinated with the safe and effective MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella. Based on census data from Franklin county, which encompasses Columbus, that means than tens of thousands of area children are vulnerable to the highly infectious virus that can easily turn severe and even life-threatening in young children.

‘Reacher’ Actor Blasts Hollywood After Losing Role Over Vax Status

 

Matthew Marsden, an actor who has appeared in five episodes of Amazon’s Reacher, took to Twitter to say he lost a role last week because he’s unvaccinated. He went on to blast Hollywood for what he described as a bias against conservatives, and accused conservatives in the industry of not doing enough to support each other. “The fact is that conservatives that speak out are not supported by their ‘team,’” he tweeted. “You get cancelled, it’s on you. … It has to change.” The actor, who also appeared in Black Hawk Down, didn’t specify what role he got booted from.

Just admiring the snowflake-ness. 
 

Some photographer doesn't want to film an interracial marriage, and it's "Hey, every person has the right to not do business with any person. For any reason."

 

But let an employer mandate that employees must take trivial steps to reduce the risk of infecting everybody on the crew?  "Outrage. Scene 27, Take 3. Action!"  
 

And none of the consumers better use their discretion about who to do business with. Or use it as a factor in deciding which companies to invest in.
