International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine- Pharmaceutical product recall and educated hesitancy towards new drugs and novel vaccines
Parallels with past drug withdrawals and gene-based vaccines include distortion of clinical trial data, with critical adverse event data absent from high-impact journal publications. Delayed regulatory action on pharmacovigilance data to trigger market withdrawal occurred with Vioxx (rofecoxib) and is apparent with the gene-based COVID-19 vaccines.
Bill Gates wants to work with Trump in his administration to “build a better future.”
The recriminations are flying, as Barack Obama’s and Joe Biden’s forces go to war over who’s more to blame for Democrats’ humiliating defeat Tuesday. So long as the left is pointing fingers, let it direct a big, fat digit at the outfit that played the biggest role in losing it this election: the U.S. media.
That isn’t the conventional wisdom, which holds that the press’s naked shilling for Democratic candidates amounts to an in-kind campaign contribution. And no doubt the media’s ceaseless attacks on Donald Trump and Republicans did help round up some undecided voters. Yet the boosterism for Kamala Harris & Co. came at a far bigger cost: A narrative full of fantasy enabled Democrats to live in a world disconnected from the mood and worries of the country.
Among the most damaging of these fantasies was the four-year press assurance that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack. Even video evidence in June of a confused president wandering aimlessly at the Group of Seven was met with claims that the footage was “edited,” “lacking context,” “misleading.” Only when the Trump-Biden debate made Mr. Biden’s decline undeniable did the media drop the charade. Then it immediately turned to recast Ms. Harris—a presidential primary loser turned unpopular vice president—as a political genius and the obvious savior of the Democratic Party. How’d that work out?
Behind the really, really fancy curtain; How Kamala Harris plowed through $1 billion
“Event production” was also a staple spending area of the Harris campaign, which notably hosted a star-studded lineup of musicians from Lady Gaga to Katy Perry for an election eve rally.
The campaign paid more than $15 million, according to federal filings, to companies for such services.
There was $1 million for Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions on Oct. 15 in West Hollywood, California.
Winfrey, a top Harris ally, appeared at a town hall with the vice president in September and was at her final rally in Philadelphia before Election Day.
Viva Creative, a marketing agency that has touted its work with Oprah, comedian Trevor Noah, the Washington Nationals baseball team, and American Express, scooped up $1.8 million from the Harris campaign for event production from September to October. A company called Production Management One in Maryland received $1.7 million, with large payments also going to Vox Productions, Temple University, Wizard Studios North, the Park Hyatt Chicago, and other entities for event production, filings show.
Then there was Majic Productions, a Wisconsin-based company, which has worked the NBA playoffs, the Super Bowl, and at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The Harris campaign paid that company $2.3 million.
A source familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner that the Harris campaign spent six figures on building a set for Harris’s appearance on the popular Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper. The interview came out in October and was reportedly filmed in a hotel room in Washington, D.C.
Another company is now alleging it was defrauded by Liberal minister Randy Boissonnault’s former business partner, Stephen Anderson, who it says leveraged the employment minister’s name to legitimize a “fraudulent scheme.”
In an affidavit dated Nov. 5, Michael R. Weber, the lawyer for California-based medical supply distribution company 4M Medical, said the company Boissonnault co-owned with Anderson took US$250,000 in a deposit for medical gloves that were never delivered.
Boissonnault and Anderson had co-founded Global Health Imports (GHI) in the first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic as a PPE distributor. When Boissonnault was elected in the fall 2021 and appointed to cabinet, he was required to cease involvement in GHI’s operations, although he continued to co-own it.
The 4M affidavit was filed in support of a lawsuit by another company, the Ghaoui Group, which alleges Anderson and two other GHI employees made off with a US$500,000 deposit in 2022 for personal equipment that was never delivered.
Global News has reported there have been at least a half-dozen lawsuits against GHI since it was founded in early 2020.
Here’s a very interesting interview of Lara Trump by the fellows at Valuetainment. In it, you’ll learn that this massive victory did not happen by accident. It took the removal of Ronna [Romney] McDaniel, Michael Steele, and a host of others, plus extreme vigilance to protect against the cheat.

Blacklock’s- Fire Risk Totals 154,000 Acres
Parks Canada knew more than 150,000 acres of dead pine were left standing in Jasper National Park prior to a devastating July 24 fire, records show.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault had blamed the damage on climate change, not Parks Canada forest management.
Parks Canada to date will not disclose how many acres of dead pine were removed after it identified the fire risk.

Blacklock’s- Senators Gut Dairy Bill C-282
Bill C-282 An Act To Amend The Department Of Foreign Affairs Act would have prohibited “any commitment on behalf of the Government of Canada by international trade treaty or agreement” that would impact quota holders. “We need to de-risk this bill,” said Senator Harder, sponsor of an amendment stating the ban would not apply in “renegotiation of an international trade treaty.”
The Bloc yesterday in a statement agreed the bill was effectively dead. “Amendments would simply destroy the scope of the bill,” it said.

Blacklock’s- Owe $1.76 For Each $1 Earned
Household debt in Canada is nearly $3 trillion, more than the value of all economic production nationwide, Statistics Canada said yesterday. The cost of credit fees and charges alone was costing billions, a StatsCan analyst told the Commons industry committee.
“By 2024, in August, household debt had reached nearly $3 trillion though the relative debt level slightly decreased to $1.76 for every dollar of disposable income reflecting higher income growth,” said Withington.
Despite repeated attempts to dismiss alternative media as inconsequential or shame viewers into abandoning it, the legacy media is finally waking up to the fact that average right-leaning Joe citizen has moved on. That act of moving on is now starting to pay dividends.
While Harris’s appearance on SNL the Saturday before the election has since been viewed on YouTube 10 million times, Rogan’s episodes with Trump, JD Vance, and top Trump ally Elon Musk in the week before the election earned a combined 73 million views on YouTube. Not to mention that each of those episodes ran for multiple hours and produced many shorter clips that had their own viral trajectories. In the new economy of influence, these clips possibly helped persuade or fire up more voters than that highly coveted Taylor Swift endorsement.
