SUMMARY

Bird Flu: Bird flu isn’t currently a threat to human health. However, the government’s drastic mass culling of flocks is now critically impacting America’s food supply. Are the actions justified? Cardiologist & epidemiologist Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, explains.

Jefferey Jaxen Reports: New science about the dynamics of COVID-19’s spike protein. Plus, a major shake-up in public health leadership as Dr. Marty Makary and Professor Jay Bhattacharya, PhD, close in on key health agency nominations.

RFK Jr. Editorial: Del Bigtree discusses a controversial editorial by Secretary of HHS, RFK Jr., which caused a stir in the medical freedom community this week.

Follow the Silenced with filmmaker Matthew Guthrie: Guthrie discusses his new film, Follow the Silenced, about individuals who were injured, silenced, and ostracized during the COVID-19 vaccine trials. The film has made it into the Santa Monica Film Festival. You can donate tickets to help the injured and their families!
