Whatever happened to the new no-patent COVID vaccine touted as a global game changer?
The inventors of Corbevax said it was cheap, easy to make, effective and safe. They hoped it could bring vaccine equity to countries that can't access costlier shots. Has it lived up to its promise?

This year, leading medical organizations, including AAFP, AAP, ACOG and IDSA, came together to issue evidence-based recommendations for COVID, flu and RSV vaccines based on an independent review of the latest science. Talk with your healthcare provider about what’s recommended for you.

They are associated with Epstein. Robert Mueller didn't care that children were being raped. Have you noticed the die-hard DOJ defenders ignored Epstein for TEN YEARS while defending Mueller/Garland? And now they suddenly care and are contacting victims? They are doing damage control for the DOJ.

People are citing the Pope--- and even though Christianity is no longer my main spiritual practice, I don't see a way out of the West's fascination with power, technology and mass death through only secular means. We are dealing with men who believe they are gods.

My father died, I was fired from my job for speaking out against Charlie Kirk, lost a teaching gig because I critiqued Israel. And yet, I’ve managed to not publicly crashout and ruthlessly attack other free speech voices. The amount of personal restraint people expect of Black women is wild.

Everyone is mad. There’s a literal genocide going on. Women are being attacked. Trans people are being attacked, Black women are being economically destroyed. Immigrants are being rounded up. But until white people especially work on their desires to dominate and abuse, we won’t get anywhere.

Pennsylvania has now reported 4 measles-associated deaths in 2026, its first measles-associated deaths in 35 years. One person was just 18, unvaccinated, and died from ADEM, a rare, severe neurological complication. Measles isn’t “just a rash.” MMR vaccination is 97% effective.

Racism and sexism are old societal cancers. Without the ability to mass-screen the workforce each year for racial and gender inequities, those malignancies are likely to swell and spread unrecognized, undiagnosed, untreated, as they did in 1963. Which is the plan. theemancipator.org/2026/09/10/i...
