CBDCs, Trudeau unites the country, J&J be bye and bye and Twitter: Links 1 for May 18th, 2023

1. True North on the planned Canadian CBDC

(I think he is wrong about one thing. I don’t think even the government says there is nothing to fear. Pretty sure the Trudeau government relies on fear. Also, the “survey” they launched is like all other government surveys. It’s carefully crafted to make sure that it looks like nearly everyone is demanding CBDC by secretly attributing false attributes to the currency, and then getting people to say they like these attributes, then publishing that nearly everyone wants CBDCs.)

2. F*** Trudeau Tailgate parties are a thing

3. Johnson & Johnson Covid gene therapy pulled completely. So why no media on this?

FDA and CDC Lift Recommended Pause on Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine Use Following Thorough Safety Review

Following a thorough safety review, including two meetings of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have determined that the recommended pause regarding the use of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine in the U.S. should be lifted and use of the vaccine should resume.

The pause was recommended after reports of six cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals following administration of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. During the pause, medical and scientific teams at the FDA and CDC examined available data to assess the risk of thrombosis involving the cerebral venous sinuses, or CVST (large blood vessels in the brain), and other sites in the body (including but not limited to the large blood vessels of the abdomen and the veins of the legs) along with thrombocytopenia, or low blood platelet counts. The teams at FDA and CDC also conducted extensive outreach to providers and clinicians to ensure they were made aware of the potential for these adverse events and could properly manage and recognize these events due to the unique treatment required for these blood clots and low platelets, also known as thrombosis-thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS).

The two agencies have determined the following:

• Use of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine should be resumed in the United States. 

• The FDA and CDC have confidence that this vaccine is safe and effective in preventing COVID-19.

• The FDA has determined that the available data show that the vaccine’s known and potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks in individuals 18 years of age and older.

• At this time, the available data suggest that the chance of TTS occurring is very low, but the FDA and CDC will remain vigilant in continuing to investigate this risk.

• Health care providers administering the vaccine and vaccine recipients or caregivers should review the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers Administering Vaccine (Vaccination Providers) and Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers, which have been revised to include information about the risk of this syndrome, which has occurred in a very small number of people who have received the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine.

4. Hmmm

JUST IN – FDA now recommends only a single bivalent mRNA injection, rather than multiple doses of the original monovalent injection, for "most unvaccinated individuals."

5. These two items deal with the curious relationships between pre-Musk Twitter and the captured media. There is a truly stellar video coming on this exact subject from a veteran CBC/Globe & Mail journalist, Rodney Palmer who spoke at the National Citizens Inquiry today in Ottawa. We hope to post a video of it very soon. Also a surprise CBC veteran defector spoke this morning. Both of them got standing ovations from the live audience. Both of them were amazing. Here is a link to the videos for the whole day at the NCI. But if you don’t want to figure out the start times, give us a few days to get our own videos of them out.
