On Monday, an international group of scientists, including two FDA officials, said available evidence does not indicate a need for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots among the general population.
The two FDA officials said they will be stepping down after a disagreement with the White House on the administration of booster shots.
According to official reports, Marion Gruber, director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, and her deputy director, Phil Krause, are set to resign in October and November.
The two published a viewpoint in The Lancet on Monday along with other experts worldwide, arguing, that, “Careful and public scrutiny of the evolving data will be needed to assure that decisions about boosting are informed by reliable science more than by politics. Widespread boosting should be undertaken only if there is clear evidence that it is appropriate.”
Gruber and Krause said they and other health officials are outraged that the CDC and Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) was spearheading decisions that should be the sole responsibility of the FDA.
President Biden’s chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci and others said available data indicated protection begins to wane over time and boosters were needed.
Gruber and Krause said they finally decided to step down after the Biden administration went ahead with a booster program starting the week of September 20 – without FDA approval and against scientific evidence.
Gruber, Krause, and other health officials from other countries and around the U.S urged caution overdrawing conclusions about vaccine efficacy from preliminary observational studies possibly affected by “confounding and selective reporting” to inform the country’s booster shot rollout.
Dr. Fauci and the Biden administration have now been accused of cherry-picking information with the sole intention of profiting from the vaccines.
Outraged citizens and banks alike want to know why President Joe Biden plans to allow the IRS to snoop into bank accounts, Venmo, PayPal, and crypto transactions, among other types of payment processing accounts.
The White House, said, “This type of surveillance is needed to prevent tax evasion.”
Biden plans to use any money that is confiscated during IRS audits to fund his proposed plan for the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget plan.
If passed, banks would be required to report every deposit and withdrawal from an account to the IRS in order to target audits.
The bill, known as Senate Bill 1788, the “Restoring the IRS Act of 2021,” was proposed by Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren said the bill was intended to target the rich, however, tax experts say the bill does nothing of the sort and leaves those in congress exempt.
The plan targets the self-employed middle class who self-report their income and deductions.
Many who are self-employed are paid by 1099 and file taxes on a form 1040 with a Schedule C.
Banking officials are against the plan and say it violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects U.S. citizens from search and seizure without probable cause.
Patrick Hedger, vice president of policy at the Taxpayers’ Protection Alliance in Washington, said, “You’re going to push more folks into small cash transactions, you’re going to push more offshore banking — the big fish out there that do have sizable assets that are eligible for taxation offshore.”
According to White House officials, the “plan would prevent tax evasion and the IRS would know how much money is in an individual’s bank account in a given year, and exactly how much is going in and out.”
Currently, U.S banks are only required to report deposits of $10,000 or more to the IRS.
Each individual is required to pay taxes on income of $600.00 or more.
Starting in 2022, after being ordered by the IRS to change its earnings reporting policy, PayPal will be required to report gross payments received for sellers who receive over $20,000 in gross payment volume and over 200 separate payments in a calendar year.
The Biden administration wants companies like PayPal to lower earnings amounts that are reported even further.
Biden wants to know anytime $600 in gross payment volume from sales of goods or services in a single calendar year, regardless of the number of transactions, hits a person’s bank account. This includes sales made over Facebook.
PayPal and similar payment processing platforms are largely used by small businesses and independent sellers.
In response to the government intrusion, FNB National Bank, wrote, “As your community bank, we want our customers to know the facts, especially when it relates to concerning developments around public policy that exposes your financial privacy.
The Biden administration has proposed requiring all community banks and other financial institutions to report to the IRS on all deposits and withdrawals through business and personal accounts worth more than $600 regardless of tax liability. This indiscriminate, comprehensive bank account reporting to the IRS can soon be enacted in Congress and will create an unacceptable invasion of privacy for our customers. We work for our customers and our community, not the IRS.”
The bank is asking the public to join them in telling Congress that proposed IRS bank account profiling is intrusive and indiscriminate for all customers: If you want to make your voice heard, you can follow this link. https://www.icba.org/bank-locally/consumer-alert-from-icba

Doctors say they are now being threatened with fines and revocation of their medical license if they speak to the media about COVID-19 “vaccines.”
This comes after several vaccine experts have testified before House Committees, exposing what doctors say is the real truth behind a shot that should have undergone at least another three years of testing.
Two doctors who went public, Dr. Dan Stock and Dr. Christina Parks, and went viral, have been labeled as “anti-vaxxers” and “conspiracy theorists.” Both doctors feel that the public and government alike, mock the educated and those who are versed in the field of vaccines.
Dr. Parks said it is not anti-vaxxers who are the problem.
Dr. Stock and Dr. Parks do not know one another, however, on August 19, when Dr. Parks, an expert on vaccines, spoke in front of a House committee, she expressed some of the same concerns as Dr. Stock and called into question the transparency of the CDC.
Facebook, who as of August 23, is being sued by the Federal Trade Commission for operating a monopoly, removed the public hearing video of Dr. Parks, citing public harm.
Senator Rand Paul called FB’s decision communism.
On September 7, The Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure said that any physician who speaks to the media or on social media about the vaccines, risks “disciplinary action including suspensions or revocation of their medical license” if the Board deems what a doctor says as “misinformation.”
On August, 26, a doctor in Orlando, who agreed to speak with the guarantee of anonymity, told Ocala Post that “almost all patients who are dying have been diagnosed with pneumonia and that, some types of pneumonia are extremely contagious and spread from person to person.
“Particularly pneumonia caused by bacteria or viruses can be contagious when the disease-carrying organisms are breathed into your lungs,” she said.
The doctor said to put this into perspective, there are many viruses that can cause pneumonia, and viruses can pass from person to person easily. For example, she said the influenza virus can survive on surfaces, making it even more contagious.
Bacterial pneumonia can spread from person to person as well.
Fungal pneumonia passes from the environment to a person, but it’s not contagious from person to person.
The doctor said she is not saying that “COVID” has not caused sickness, but says many variables have not been told to the public in regards to the vaccines.
Dr. Parks says the “vaccine” was supposedly designed for the first variant but does not believe that any of the vaccines protect people from any of the new variants.
During a press conference in early August, former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, said, “This is going to become more of an endemic illness where you see sort of a persistent infection through the winter, but not at the levels that we’re experiencing certainly right now.”
Endemic means COVID will be regularly found among people.
Gottlieb followed his comment with “Booster shots will play a role in getting the US to that phase.” Turns out that Gottliebcurrent is not only a former FDA Commissioner but also currently a Pfizer board member.
The Orlando doctor said, “This is a serious problem. The public is being misled. My colleagues and I were to blow the whistle on this, but if we do, the drug rep companies who supply us with free samples will cut us off. That would greatly affect my low-income patients. We are also concerned about government overreach.
Readers always ask why the mainstream media fails to cover this. It’s simple. Most of the mainstream media outlets have financial ties to pharmaceutical companies. This includes big tech like Facebook and Google that have received billions in advertising revenue from the very companies who created the COVID vaccine. Facebook alone received over five million in payments for advertising. Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have all engaged in deleting information, comments, and articles pertaining to COVID vaccines. On several occasions, Facebook has had to issue apologies when information was proven to be correct. The company Facebook uses for its “independent” fact-checking is actually operated by Facebook.
Doctors say that there are two kinds of physicians; those like Dr. Parks, Dr. Stock, the Orlando doctor, and many others who follow the science…and those who are greatly profiting from COVID-19.
Gov. Ron Desantis said he will not allow doctors in Florida to be treated in this fashion.
DeSantis’ office, said, “It’s sad to hear that doctors ‘are scared to come forward out of fear of ridicule and government overreach.’ This silencing of different perspectives is anti-science, and Governor DeSantis has always made a point of seeking out advice from experts with perspectives that challenge the dominant narrative. Scientists and medical professionals everywhere should be able to share their research findings and observations without fear of retaliation.”
Concept for the pharmaceutical industry’s excess profits during the sale of the coronavirus vaccine
Bronson — This fall, Black Prong Equestrian Village (BPEV) will kick off a series of carriage driving competitions recognized by the American Driving Society and organized by Jennifer Matheson. The event series begins November 17th, 2021, and ends with the Finals on March 30, 2022.
These events include a Driving Derby series, Combined Driving Events, and the inaugural Black Prong Dressage Festival.
Spectators will be welcome to visit BPEV to watch the action, following American Driving Society COVID-19 safety guidelines. Competitors may choose to reside onsite with their horses in one of BPEV’s nine cottages, each with stalls and a tack room attached. Stabling for horses is also available for those who stay in RVs or campers at BPEV throughout the competition season.
Carriage driving is an equestrian sport that involves a driver seated on a vehicle that is pulled by a single horse, pair, or team of four horses. A Combined Driving Event is a three-day competition that includes three different disciplines: dressage, marathon, and cones. Driven Dressage is where the horse and driver team complete a pattern and are judged on precision and quality of movement. Marathon is a test in speed and endurance; competitors cover between eight and eighteen kilometers and negotiate challenge “obstacles” every kilometer or so, in which they choose their paths to go through “gates” in the correct direction and sequence. Cones are a test of agility and obedience where the driver carefully
navigates between 20 cones. Driving Derby involves an obstacle course that combines marathons and cones and is driven at speed.

Dr. Chilton (second from left) and his lab team examine how genetic and epigenetic variations interact with human diets to drive inflammation and inflammatory disorders, as well as psychiatric and developmental disorders.

Researchers from the University of Arizona, in collaboration with Stony Brook University and Wake Forest School of Medicine, analyzed blood samples from COVID patient cohorts and found that circulation of the enzyme–secreted phospholipase A2 group IIA, or sPLA2-IIA could be the single most important factor in patients with severe COVID infections.
The sPLA2-IIA enzyme, which has similarities to an active enzyme in rattlesnake venom, is naturally occurring in humans and found in low concentrations in healthy individuals and has long been known to play a critical role in defense against bacterial infections, destroying microbial cell membranes.
On August 24, 2021, Floyd (Ski) Chilton, senior author on the paper and director of the UArizona Precision Nutrition and Wellness Initiative in the university’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, said, “When the activated enzyme circulates at high levels, it has the capacity to ‘shred’ the membranes of vital organs.” He went on to say, “It’s a bell-shaped curve of disease resistance versus host tolerance. In other words, this enzyme is trying to kill the virus, but at a certain point it is released in such high amounts that things head in a really bad direction, destroying the patient’s cell membranes and thereby contributing to multiple organ failures and death.”
Dr. Chilton is also a member of the university’s BIO5 Institute.
Maurizio Del Poeta, a SUNY distinguished professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, wrote, “Together with available clinically tested sPLA2-IIA inhibitors, “the study supports a new therapeutic target to reduce or even prevent COVID-19 mortality.”
According to the University of Arizona, Del Poeta and his team collected stored plasma samples and began analyzing medical charts and tracking down critical clinical data from 127 patients hospitalized at Stony Brook University Hospital between January and July 2020. A second, independent cohort included a mix of 154 patient samples collected from Stony Brook and Banner University Medical Center in Tucson between January and November 2020.
Del Poeta said the idea came from Dr. Chilton.
Chilton said, “These are small cohorts, admittedly, but it was a heroic effort to get them and all associated clinical parameters from each patient under these circumstances. As opposed to most studies that are well planned out over the course of years, this was happening in real-time on the ICU floor.”
The doctors were able to analyze thousands of data points by using machine-learning algorithms. The team went beyond the risk factors of age, body weight, and preexisting conditions and also focused on biochemical enzymes and lipid metabolites.
Research professor with the UArizona Department of Nutrition, Justin Snider, said, “In this study, we were able to identify patterns of metabolites that were present in individuals who succumbed to the disease. The metabolites that surfaced revealed cell energy dysfunction and high levels of the sPLA2-IIA enzyme. The former was expected but not the latter.”
The study shows that most healthy individuals have circulating levels of the sPLA2-IIA enzyme hovering around half a nanogram per milliliter and that, COVID was lethal in 63 percent of patients who had severe COVID and levels of sPLA2-IIA equal to or greater than 10 nanograms per milliliter.”
Chilton, who has been studying the enzyme for three decades, said, “Many patients who died from COVID had some of the highest levels of this enzyme that have ever been reported.”
According to Charles McCall, lead researcher from the Wake Forest School of Medicine on the study, the enzyme is a “shredder” known for its prevalence in severe inflammation events, such as bacterial sepsis, as well as hemorrhagic and cardiac shock.
“The protein shares a high sequence with the active enzyme in rattlesnake venom,” said Chilton.
This discovery brings many questions to the forefront.
Do the three different COVID vaccines specifically target lowering this enzyme?
Do patients who are taking medications derived from snake venom face a greater risk if they contract COVID?
Medications such as Losartan, Captopril (Enalapril), Integrilin (Eptifibatide), and Aggrastat (Tirofiban) are drugs based on snake venoms, which have been approved by the FDA.
Losartan is widely used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to protect your kidneys if you have both kidney disease and diabetes. Doctors say Losartan also assists to prevent future strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
The August 24 publication now has many health officials asking questions.
Dozens of doctors have gone public with their expertise on the vaccines. Two doctors who went public, Dr. Dan Stock and Dr. Christina Parks (see video below), and went viral, have been labeled as “anti-vaxxers” and “conspiracy theorists.” Both doctors feel that the public and government alike, mock the educated and those who are versed in the field of vaccines.
Dr. Parks said it is not anti-vaxxers who are the problem.
Dr. Stock and Dr. Parks do not know one another, however, on August 19, when Dr. Parks, an expert on vaccines, spoke in front of a House committee, she expressed some of the same concerns as Dr. Stock and called into question the transparency of the CDC.
In July of 2021, the CDC reported that 4,115 reported cases of fully vaccinated people had been hospitalized or were dying with Covid-19 coronavirus breakthrough infections. However, the CDC now admits that the number could be much higher due to the fact that not every hospital in the U.S is reporting accurate information, or does not report at all. Officials say there are no laws in place that would force hospitals to report the information.
“The information is only as good as what is reported,” said the CDC.
In an interview with the University of Arizona, Dr. Chilton, said, “Roughly a third of people develop long COVID, and many of them were active individuals who now can’t walk 100 yards.”
He now has questions of his own.
He asked, “If this enzyme is still relatively high and active, could it be responsible for part of the long COVID outcomes that we’re seeing?”
The CDC, as well as all three vaccine companies, refuse to answer any questions pertaining to the August 24 publication.

Florida – In May, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law banning businesses, governments, and schools from requiring “vaccine passports,” or proof that people seeking their services received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Ocala Post received confirmation on Wednesday that the laws will now be enforced.
According to the Department of Health, Florida businesses and governments requiring proof from customers that an individual has received a COVID-19 vaccine before they can be served or helped will soon face $5,000 fines.
A $5,000 fine can be assessed for every individual per violation of Senate Bill 2006.
64-8.001 Penalties for COVID-19 Vaccine Documentation Requirements
(1) The Department will issue a notice of violation to any business entity, governmental entity, or educational institution found in violation of Section 381.00316, F.S., prior to final agency action. Such notice will include hearing rights pursuant to Section 120.569, F.S.
A business entity, as defined in s. 768.38 to include any business operating in this state, may not require patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or postinfection recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the business operations in this state.
The rules were defined on August 27, and officials say they will be enforced.
If the rules are violated and reported, violaters will be given notice with a chance to appeal. That establishment will have 30 days to pay the fine before penalties are assessed.
An Ocala man was arrested Tuesday after an investigation determined that he was in possession of child pornography.
According to reports, Marion County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Detective Nicholas Sutliff received a tip that 30-year-old Johnny Berto Pantoja Algarin was in possession of files containing child pornography.
During the investigation, Detective Sutliff found evidence that Algarin was the individual who had possessed files containing child pornography.
On Tuesday, Detective detectives made contact with Algarin at his Ocala home, located at 1421 SW 27th Avenue, Apt. 405, in the Promenade at Ocala Apartments.
Detectives told Algarin that they had discovered evidence that indicated he had possessed inappropriate material involving children.
Detectives retrieved one of Algarin’s electronic devices and through forensic examination, the device showed eight files containing child pornography.
During an interview, Algarin confessed and stated that he used the fake name of “Michael Lawson” in connection with his illicit activities in order to hide those activities from his wife.
Additionally, Algarin admitted that he viewed child pornography.
Algarin was charged with eight counts of Possession of Child Pornography.
Japan suspended the use of approximately 1.63 million doses of the Moderna vaccine Thursday after contamination was found in vials.
According to Japan’s health ministry, dozens of contaminated vials were found at multiple vaccine sites. They said they believe that some of the contaminated doses were administered to people, but have no way of knowing exactly how many.
The drugmaker, Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., which is in charge of sales and distribution of the vaccine, suspended the use of doses.
Moderna will now conduct an emergency investigation.
According to the health ministry, medical institutions and organizers have been ordered to stop using the vaccine produced in Spain.
The ministry would not comment on what type of contamination was found in the unopen vials.
Facebook received more than 5 million in advertising fees from pharmaceutical companies, but this is what happens when a small company, doctor, media outlet, or individual goes against the grain.

An example of how “fact-checkers” are misused
In the last video clip, Dominique De Silva, also known on social media as queencitydom, shared her story on social media. A GoFundMe page was then set up for her. After getting more than 10 million views, her page was hit with a “fact-checker” known as Logically, a company used by many social media platforms. In an attempt to “debunk” Silva’s condition, Logically tagged her post as “partly false information.” In the details, without any expert testimony from Silva’s doctors or nurses, Logically stated, “Dominque’s symptoms occurred two weeks after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, and are therefore unrelated.” Logically then alerted GoFundMe. Now, GoFundMe says they are investigating.
Logically says they hit Silva with a “fact-check” because she has an underlying health condition known as Hashimoto’s disease and that it is believed her symptoms after getting the vaccine are just a coincidence.
Several nurses, one who goes by Erin, also shared Silva’s story online. The post on Erin’s Instagram account (erin_bsn2) has received more than 100k views and was also hit with a “fact-checker.”
In response to the “fact-checker”, the nurse wrote, “OPEN THE DIALOGUE, STOP the censorship, and QUIT gaslighting the victims of your liability-free poison. If there’s nothing to hide, then let’s talk about it.” She went on to write, “When is enough, enough? Mandating a medical procedure known to cause injury and death is the most unethical form of human punishment I can think of.”
The company Logically works for the same big tech companies who have received billions in advertising funds from the vaccine companies.
Instagram is also owned by Facebook.
Due to HIPAA regulations, Ocala Post was unable to get any detailed information on Silva’s case.
The vaccines
It is important to note that until Monday, August 23, 2021, none of the COVID-19 vaccines were FDA-approved. They were approved for emergency use, which is not the same as FDA-approved. According to the government, the vaccine was not even tested on animals before it was directly used as an experimental drug on humans.
According to the FDA, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to permit the emergency use of the unapproved product, Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine, for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 18 years of age and older.”
It should also be noted that in July of 2021, the CDC reported that 4,115 reported cases of fully vaccinated people had been hospitalized or were dying with Covid-19 coronavirus breakthrough infections. The CDC then announced they are no longer keeping track of those numbers.
“We are choosing instead to focus going forward just on those in which hospitalizations or deaths were involved,” said the CDC.
In reality, those reinfected with symptoms of “COVID-19” after being vaccinated are statistically much higher than being reported.
The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine (Janssen) label now includes a warning about a possible increased risk of a disorder known as Guillain-Barre syndrome. This comes after the J&J vaccine was also linked to severe blood clots early in the year.
Guillain-Barré syndrome damages nerve cells and can cause muscle weakness. In rare cases, it can cause paralysis.
On Monday, July 19, 2021, the FDA, going off of CDC reports, said that they have tracked 100 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome directly related to the vaccine. The report states that of those 100 cases being tracked, 95 of those people were hospitalized and 1 of them died.
What could be described as an attempt to play down the incidents, in a statement, J&J said, “The number of reports is only slightly higher than the number that would normally be expected.”
Guillain-Barré syndrome has also been linked to other vaccines, including certain seasonal flu vaccines and a vaccine to prevent shingles.
Side effects can take nearly two months to surface after getting a vaccine.
Treatment
There’s no cure for Guillain-Barre syndrome. But two types of treatments can speed recovery and reduce the severity of the illness:
Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis). The liquid portion of part of your blood (plasma) is removed and separated from your blood cells. The blood cells are then put back into your body, which manufactures more plasma to make up for what was removed. Plasmapheresis may work by ridding plasma of certain antibodies that contribute to the immune system’s attack on the peripheral nerves.
Immunoglobulin therapy. Immunoglobulin containing healthy antibodies from blood donors is given through a vein (intravenously). High doses of immunoglobulin can block the damaging antibodies that may contribute to Guillain-Barre syndrome.
The FDA, said, “Those who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should contact a doctor if they develop weakness or tingling sensations, especially in the arms or legs, as well as a sudden problem, walking, speaking, chewing or swallowing.”
Overall, in the United States alone, from December 14, 2020, through July 13, 2021, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) received 6,079 reports of death among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Since July 13, 2021, those numbers have increased, but the death toll among the vaccinated is not widely covered. Why? The answer is because most of the mainstream media outlets have financial ties to pharmaceutical companies. This includes big tech like Facebook and Google that have received billions in advertising revenue from the very companies who created the COVID vaccine. Facebook alone received over five million in payments for advertising. Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have all engaged in deleting information, comments, and articles pertaining to COVID vaccines. On several occasions, Facebook has had to issue apologies when information was proven to be correct. The company Facebook uses for its “independent” fact-checking is actually operated by Facebook.
All of the companies refused to comment.
The vaccines have also generated billions in revenue for many stakeholders.
J&J has profited more than 100 million in the first quarter the COVID vaccine was released.
Many doctors who are against the vaccines say while the death toll numbers may seem small in comparison, they are not if you are the one who died from a vaccine. Particularly since thousands who have been vaccinated are still being hospitalized. Many healthcare professionals say it’s more like a FLU shot rather than a vaccine.
What health officials in other countries say
In March 2021, it was announced that the governments in Tanzania, Madagascar, Burundi, and Eritrea have refused to participate in receiving vaccines.
Tanzanian Health Minister Dorothy Gwajima said that the amount of pressure that she is receiving from the U.S government in regards to the vaccine concerns her.
Dr. Shadrack Mwaibambe,president of the Medical Association of Tanzania, said that while inoculation is unavoidable in his view, Tanzania should be cautious when selecting a vaccine.
“At this juncture of the outbreak, vaccination is inevitable, but … I think there is a need for due diligence to go through all these vaccines and to choose which one is suitable for Tanzania. The process has been rushed,” said Mwaibambe during a press conference.
He went on to say, “There is no deadline to say…after certain months, the U.S says the whole world must be vaccinated. First of all, we must ask ourselves why emergency approval of vaccines was given and not full approval? Emergency approval means there are some things they are not sure about. They are not sure about the safety and efficacy of vaccination in two years to come or in one year to come. It is common sense.”
Mwaibambe also expressed that he believes the U.S government is withholding information from its citizens. He said the vaccines are a false sense of security.
Some health organizations in other countries have stopped vaccines after reports of doctors, staff, and elderly patients dying after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
Initially, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) reported that they didn’t have any statistics on vaccines that had been administered. However, on July 14, 2021, the EMA finally released data on COVID-19 vaccinations.
The EMA is responsible for authorizing vaccines in the European Union (EU).
EMA issued safety updates and related deaths for the four authorized COVID-19 vaccines; Comirnaty, Spikevax; Vaxzevria, and COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen.
Comirnaty (Pfizer-BioNTech) – A total of 206,668 cases of suspected side effects with Comirnaty were spontaneously reported to EudraVigilance from EU/EEA countries. And 3,848 of these reported a fatal outcome. As a result, about 276 million doses of Comirnaty were given to people in the EU/EEA.
Vaxzevria – (AstraZeneca) – A total of 152,250 cases of suspected side effects with Vaxzevria were spontaneously reported to EudraVigilance from EU/EEA countries. And 938 of these reported a fatal outcome. Around that time, about 58.4 million doses of Vaxzevria had been given to people in the EU/EEA.
SpikeVax (COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna) – A total of 36,294 cases of suspected side effects with Spikevax were spontaneously reported to EudraVigilance from EU/EEA countries. And 347 of these reported a fatal outcome. Around that time, about 35 million doses of Spikevax had been given to people in the EU/EEA.
COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen – A total of 12,036 suspected side effects with COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen were spontaneously reported to EudraVigilance from EU/EEA countries. And 68 of these reported a fatal outcome. Around that time, about 8.5 million doses of COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen had been given to people in the EU/EE.
According to Robert Carlson, M.D., who serves on the Medical Advisory Board at Precision Vax LLC., all COVID-19 vaccines are 100 percent experimental.
The CDC, FDA, and the WHO, are carefully choosing what data they report to the media to be released to the public.
Even more disturbing, is when Ocala Post spoke to an Orlando, Florida, doctor in early August who said she, too, nearly died after getting the Moderna, NIAID vaccine.
“By the next day, I could hardly walk. I had a severe headache, I could barely breathe, and my motor functions and speech were seriously affected,” said the doctor.
The doctor said she then began seeing patients who were already vaccinated but “full-blown sick.” She said it was alarming so she began to keep track of the cases.
The doctor, said, “I saw over 100 patients in a 30 day period. I used the IgG/IgM Serology Antibody test to see if any of the patients had antibodies against COVID. All of the tests were negative. Not one patient, after receiving the vaccine, had any antibodies.”
The doctor went on to say, “This is a serious problem. The public is being misled. My colleagues and I were to blow the whistle on this, but if we do, the drug rep companies who supply us with free samples will cut us off. That would greatly affect my low-income patients. We are also concerned about government overreach. So, we decided to speak with the media as long as our practice does not make headlines.”
(At the bottom of this article there is a link Ocala Post published on a doctor who has spoken publicly about some of this information.)
After receiving this information, Ocala Post contacted, the WHO, CDC, NIH, The Florida Department of Health, J&J, Moderna, Pfizer Inc., Senator Rand Paul, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to inquire about this newly received information. Several emails were sent.
Ocala Post reached out to Senator Rand Paul to discuss documents that were discovered in May that suggest gain of function was achieved in the Wuhan Lab with the COVID virus. Gain of function means that scientists were able to find a way for the virus containing proteins from bats to be contracted by humans. During a public hearing, Senator Paul said the documents show that the NIH illegally funded the research. A claim Dr. Fauci denies. Paul’s office did not respond.
J&J, Moderna, Pfizer all refused to answer any questions, did not respond to emails, and left reporters on hold. Why would they answer questions? They have been given immunity for adverse reactions anyone sustains from the vaccine.
The WHO replied with a prepared statement, which reads as follows:
“Vaccines do not provide full (100%) protection. Even after taking all of the recommended doses and waiting for a few weeks for immunity to build up, there is a chance that someone could fall ill, especially if they do not follow other protective measures. However, even if people get infected, those who have been vaccinated are likely to have no symptoms or mild illness. For two-dose vaccines, the protection provided by vaccines is only partial after the first dose, and time is needed before protection reaches its maximum level after the second dose. People may still get infected, especially if they do not continue to take precautions after their first dose. For a one-dose vaccine, people only have maximum protection against COVID-19 a few weeks after getting vaccinated. Studies are ongoing to see if the new variants can affect vaccines, diagnostic tests and other tools but so far – from what is known – the vaccines continue to be effective. Vaccines are life-saving but on their own, they are not enough. We need to continue to ‘do it all’, especially when most people in society are not vaccinated and COVID-19 is widespread.”
DeSantis’ office responded with the following:
“Thanks for your inquiry. I agree that this is a serious issue and appreciate the opportunity to provide the perspective of the governor’s office. Governor DeSantis always makes data-driven decisions with the best information available to him at any given time. He has stated in public remarks, most recently yesterday in Orlando, that the vaccines have been working to prevent serious illness and death in many people – that’s why, despite the increase in cases this past month, we have not seen the same death rate especially among senior citizens (who are 86% vaccinated).
However, as you pointed out, vaccines do not work for everyone, particularly the immune compromised who may not respond the same way to the vaccine as other people do. Governor DeSantis has noted that new research indicates decreased effectiveness of certain COVID vaccines over time – potentially for everyone, not only the immune compromised. He has also mentioned the evidence that the vaccines do not prevent people from testing positive for COVID-19 and transmitting the virus to others.
What’s clear is that vaccinated people can get infected with COVID-19, as can unvaccinated people. Whether a patient is vaccinated or not, if they have any comorbidities that put them at higher risk for COVID-19, they are encouraged to get early treatment – monoclonal antibody treatment (Regeneron) is free of charge to patients, available to vaccinated and unvaccinated patients, and accessible all over Florida. Governor DeSantis is focused on expanding access to this proven treatment to decrease the risk of hospitalization, help people recover faster, and save lives.
It’s sad to hear that doctors ‘are scared to come forward out of fear of ridicule and government overreach.’ This silencing of different perspectives is anti-science, and Governor DeSantis has always made a point of seeking out advice from experts with perspectives that challenge the dominant narrative. Scientists and medical professionals everywhere should be able to share their research findings and observations without fear of retaliation.”
Additionally, Ocala Post did not receive a response from the CDC.
Let’s look at the facts
Three different vaccines, from three different companies, all with different ingredients. Yet, all three companies claim the vaccine works. And now, a booster shot is being offered.
All three companies combined have made well over 5 billion on the vaccines in the first quarter of the vaccines being made available to the public.
After patients have been poked with one of three vaccines, there have been dozens upon dozens of cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), Bell’s Palsy, blood clots, uncontrollable headaches, loss of memory (brain fog), just to name a few.
The CDC has told the public the cases are “rare.”
“Rare is winning the lottery,” the Orlando doctor said. She went on to say, “Rare is not seeing more than one patient with the exact symptoms in the same town.”
She said almost all patients who are dying have been diagnosed with pneumonia and that, some types of pneumonia are extremely contagious and spread from person to person.
“Particularly pneumonia caused by bacteria or viruses can be contagious when the disease-carrying organisms are breathed into your lungs,” she said.
The doctor said to put this into perspective, there are many viruses that can cause pneumonia, and viruses can pass from person to person easily. For example, she said the influenza virus can survive on surfaces, making it even more contagious.
Bacterial pneumonia can spread from person to person as well.
Fungal pneumonia passes from the environment to a person, but it’s not contagious from person to person.
The doctor said she is not saying that “COVID” has not caused sickness, but says many variables have not been told to the public in regards to the vaccines.
“I feel like it is all about money and politics,” she said. Adding, “I mean, these companies are profiting off this COVID vaccine as much as they do chemo. They are giving the ‘vaccine’ to the public for free to supposedly save people, but if they really wanted to save someone, give out cancer meds at no charge.”
She said, “Questions need to be asked and real answers need to be given.”
To this day, the CDC, and Dr. Anthony Stephen Fauci, who also refused to comment, contend that the vaccine, despite all the deaths and neurological disorders patients have developed, is completely safe. Fauci’s salary has also significantly increased since COVID started.
Trusting pharmaceutical giants with a history of deception
In 2009, Pfizer and its subsidiary Pharmacia & Upjohn Company Inc. had to pay $2.3 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice, to resolve criminal and civil liability arising from the illegal promotion of certain pharmaceutical products. Pharmacia & Upjohn Company plead guilty to a felony violation of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for misbranding Bextra with the intent to defraud or mislead the public and government officials. A civil settlement also resolved allegations that Pfizer paid kickbacks to health care providers to entice them to prescribe these, as well as other, drugs. The federal share of the civil settlement is $668,514,830 and the state Medicaid share of the civil settlement is $331,485,170. It was the largest civil fraud settlement in history against a pharmaceutical company. (Note: Facebook at one point in time labeled these claims as false and misleading, however, they are 100 percent accurate.) This is just one of many suits against the pharmaceutical giant of the years.
Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson marketed its talcum-based powder products specifically to Black women in black neighborhoods despite evidence showing the products caused cancer. In fact, an internal memo showed that J&J knew for decades that its powder contained cancer-causing agents such as asbestos. The company had to pay 2.2 billion in damages. J&J arrogantly appealed the case in June of 2021 but lost. In March of 2019, J & J and co-maker Bayer agreed to pay $775m to settle about 25,000 lawsuits over claims it failed to warn customers that its blood-thinner Xarelto increased the risk of internal bleeding. This is just one of many suits against the pharmaceutical giant over the years. During the trials, when asked why they used talcum powder instead of the alternatives, they said: “because it was cheaper.”
Pandemic VS Endemic
In a press conference last week, former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, said, “This is going to become more of an endemic illness where you see sort of a persistent infection through the winter, but not at the levels that we’re experiencing certainly right now.”
Endemic means COVID will be regularly found among people.
Gottlieb followed his comment with “Booster shots will play a role in getting the US to that phase.” Turns out that Gottliebcurrent is not only a former FDA Commissioner but also currently a Pfizer board member.
At what point does the public begin to ask serious questions? After all, all three companies that have created the vaccine have not only earned billions but have been given immunity for any and all adverse reactions.
Dr. Dan Stock, a family doctor, spoke at a recent board meeting on the issue and his speech went viral. It has gained the attention of not only the CDC but other school board leaders as well. (Video link)
A Crystal River teen was arrested after it was discovered that he attempted to sell a stolen handgun via Snapchat.

Rashaun Jones, 35, shot and killed Miami football player Bryan Pata
Florida — The U.S. Marshals-led Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF), working with the Miami-Dade Police Department, on Thursday arrested Rashaun Jones, 35, and charged with the murder of University of Miami football player Bryan Pata, who was shot and killed Nov. 7, 2006, outside his apartment complex in Kendall after leaving team practice earlier that day.
Pata was 22 years old.
Jones was taken into custody without incident outside his pace of employment in Ocala, Florida.
Article continued below
Miami-Dade PD Homicide obtained the homicide warrant for Jones Aug. 17, and FCRFTF investigators developed information placing Jones in the Ocala area. FCRFTF personnel from the task force’s Gainesville Office conducted the arrest operation.
Created July 1, 2008, the Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force is composed of law enforcement officers from federal, state and local agencies. Its mission is to locate and apprehend fugitives, with priority given to those wanted for violent crime.
Members of the United States Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force (Gainesville Office), including task force members from the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office, were able to locate Jones and arrested him at his workplace parking lot, located in the area of 484 just west of I-75 without incident.
Pata
Bryan Pata
Bryan Sidney Pata was a football defensive lineman for the Miami Hurricanes and was majoring in criminology. After leaving a football practice during his fourth year at the school, Pata was murdered.
Pata played three seasons at North Miami High School before moving on to Miami Central High School. He was named to Super Prep’s All-America team, and rated as the nation’s 26th-best defensive lineman by that magazine. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution also named him as one of the top 100 players in the South. He chose to attend the University of Miami after also considering Rutgers University, the University of Florida and the University of Oklahoma.
Pata was in his fourth year with the Hurricanes and was expected to be selected in the 2007 NFL Draft. He appeared in 41 games during his college career, making 23 starts. Pata played primarily defensive tackle in his last season, totaling 13 tackles and two sacks. He had been placed on the watch list for the Hendricks Award, awarded to college football’s top defensive end.

Judging from the comments, the restaurant will be missed.
Jeanne Buckau, wrote, “I am truly saddened to hear this 😭 Fat Daddy’s is our favorite place to go for great food and service. We’ve brought our family and friends there numerous times. I am heartbroken 💔.”
Patrick A. Crippen, wrote, “So sorry to hear this! Great food and great people!”
It was not immediately known if the restaurant will reopen under new ownership.
Dunnellon — Citrus Springs Middle School teacher, Jeffrey Brake, was still behind bars on August 20, following his arrest.
Brake’s class has since been assigned to a permanent substitute teacher.
On August 9, members of the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Impact Unit (TIU), along with detectives from the Special Victims Unit (SVU) served two search warrants that resulted in the arrest of the 52-year-old teacher.
Brake, who is from Dunnellon, was served a search warrant at his residence off West Edison Place as well as an adjoined recreational vehicle (RV) on the property.
Upon arrival, detectives located Brake at the residence.
After securing the area and individuals on scene, detectives located a glass pipe that later tested positive for methamphetamine in Brake’s pocket.
Additionally, detectives searched the RV and found two eyeglass cases that contained hypodermic needles and three clear, plastic baggies. Inside one of the baggies was a crystal-like substance that tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed 1.8 grams.
A second baggie, weighing 2.3 grams, contained a brown substance that tested positive for heroin.
The third baggie field-tested positive for fentanyl, with a total weight of 4.1 grams.
Detectives also found a digital scale inside the RV with an assortment of firearms, prescription pill bottles prescribed to Brake, and a variety of drug paraphernalia.
According to arrest records, Brake was charged with Trafficking in Fentanyl, Possession of Heroin, and Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute, Own/Rent/Lease a Residence for the Purpose of Trafficking in a Controlled Substance, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
The Citrus County School District said they are investigating the allegations but have yet to speak with Brake because he is still in jail on a $41,000 bond. They have sent a letter to his residence and plan to send one to jail.
If Brake does not respond within 30 days he waives his right to a hearing with the school board.
Brake has been a teacher with the county since 2001.

Marion County — The Marion County Sheriff’s Office is facing heavy scrutiny after a deputy violated a man’s rights as he was filming a crash scene.
After nearly a month, the video was finally released by MCSO.
This comes just weeks after the 4th District Court of Appeal ruled on August 4, 2021, that every citizen has the right to film police. It was brought before the court following the arrest of a woman in Boynton Beach for filming police officers after she was called to a movie theater about an incident involving her juvenile son.
Judge Martha Warner said the Supreme Court has already made this clear and these officers should have never arrested the mother and that, any agency who violates this court ruling should be punished.
She wrote, “A rule otherwise would mean that everyone who pulls out a cell phone to record an interaction with police, whether as a bystander, a witness, or a suspect, is committing a crime.”
In a press conference, Attorney Samuel Alexander, said, “It’s an important case and an important body of law for the state of Florida. It needs to be made clear that the public has the right to videotape police who are performing their duties in public places.”
Another attorney close to the case, said, “Officers are sworn to protect the constitution, not trample all over it and that’s why they need higher education and to be required to study case and constitutional law, not just statutes that are widely misinterpreted by cops and their superiors.”
The action against the Boynton Beach Police Department came after the American Civil Liberties Union, the Florida Justice Association, and 12 news media groups joined the lawsuit. In the lawsuit, it states, any other ruling “would have a chilling effect not just on citizens, like [this mother], but on the First Amendment rights of ANY news-gathering organizations.
The American Civil Liberties Union is also looking to end qualified immunity.
Marion County Case
On July 24, 2021, Marion County Sheriff’s Deputy N. Rosaci, was getting gas at the Circle K, located at 11946 North Williams Street, and was advised by a witness that a vehicle accident had just occurred and both parties were involved in a verbal altercation.
Article continued below
Deputy Rosaci
While “neutralizing” the situation, Dunnellon Police Officer F. Depka responded to investigate the traffic crash.
While speaking to the individuals at the scene, Deputy Rosaci threatened to arrest the grandmother of the young girl who was involved in the accident. Deputy Rosaci told her that he would take her to jail if she did not leave the scene. Aggravated at the grandmother, Deputy Rosaci approached Officer Depka and asked if he was going to arrest the girl for having an expired registration. Officer Depka then advised Deputy Rosaci that he was only going to issue a citation.
Article continued below
Dunnellon Police Officer F. Depka
At the same time, as Rosaci was speaking with the parties involved, 59-year-old George Nathansen approached the area while filming. As he walked up to the scene, he looked inside a patrol vehicle to see if it was occupied. Nathansen was immediately approached by Deputy Rosaci and ushered from the area and down a public sidewalk.
Deputy Rosaci later tells his colleagues that Nathansen was “recording inside his patrol vehicle and all over.”
In his report, he wrote, “While an active investigation was being conducted [Nathansen] arrived on the scene with signs and a camera and was filming inside my agency patrol car while I was outside of the vehicle, causing a distraction and obstructing the crash investigation that I was assisting officer Depka with.”
Nathansen complied with the direction of Deputy Rosaci. However, the Deputy continued to yell at Nathansen from a distance.
Then, as seen in the video, Deputy Rosaci becomes more agitated, approaches Nathansen who is more than 30 feet away, and places him in handcuffs.
Nathansen requested a supervisor, which he was not provided at the scene.
Deputy Rosaci did contact his supervisor via phone, however, his story was much different than what the body cam video showed. At no point during the conversation with his supervisor did Deputy Rosaci tell his superior that Nathanson had compiled and was standing on a public sidewalk more than 30 feet away.
In the report, Deputy Rosaci, wrote, “I gave the defendant three orders to leave the scene and advised him he was in the middle of an investigation. I advised the defendant he could stand on the sidewalk outside of the scene of the investigation. I then observed the defendant exit the sidewalk and walk towards the occupants of the involved vehicles. He began interacting with them and once again diverting our attention and interfering with the investigation. I again ordered the defendant to leave the scene, or he would be arrested for interfering.”
In the video, you can also see the deputy place his hands on Nathansen and pushed him to the sidewalk as he was asking others if they recognized a vehicle of occupants who had recently shot him with pepper balls.
Additionally, during a second phone call, Deputy Rosaci again distorted the facts of the interaction while relaying the information to his supervisor. He told his supervisor that he informed Nathansen that he could film from the sidewalk and at no point did Deputy Rosaci inform his supervisor that Nathansen had complied.
After reviewing the body cam video, Deputy Rosaci did not inform Nathansen that he could film from the sidewalk.
Deputy Rosaci then advised Nathansen that he was being placed under arrest for Obstruction. When Nathansen requested a supervisor, which was within his rights, he was refused and the deputy closed the door on him.
On the way to the jail, Deputy Rosaci turned up the radio so he could not hear Nathansen speak. When he realized he could still hear Nathansen, he turned it up even louder.
Nathansen was charged with Resisting Officer/Obstruction.
A supervisor eventually spoke with Nathansen at the jail but stood by the deputy’s actions. Sergeant J. Shealy signed off on the report.
Ocala Post reached out to the State Attorney’s Office to see if charges had been dropped. The SAO said due to an ongoing investigation, the case is still pending.
Ocala Post Spoke with Dr. Shawn Berry, who went public with the video following Nathansen’s arrest. Dr. Berry told Ocala Post that Nathansen was told to take a plea deal, which was refused. A legal fund has been started via PayPal for Nathansen, who plans to sue the MCSO for violating his First Amendment rights.
Dr. Berry said he requested the video footage following the July 24 arrest, but when he received the video file it showed an unrelated incident. He then had to jump through hoops to receive the correct video. He said he finally received the video in its entirety on Tuesday.
Since Sheriff Billy Woods was elected, the agency has had a huge problem handing over records requests and has violated Freedom of the Press laws multiple times. Woods has made it clear to numerous media outlets that he does not like being questioned. The topic has come up many times at several media roundtable events.
Residents say they are disturbed by how Marion County deputies talk down to and about citizens in recent videos and how quickly deputies refer to someone as a “sovereign citizen” when a citizen exercises their rights. MCSO was quick to delete all comments posted to their Facebook page.
The video has since been featured on Dr. Shawn Berry’s and Acura Amanda’s YouTube Channels, who are known through the state as First Amendment Auditors.
Taliban sweep into Afghan capital after government collapses
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said that Biden will not give American citizens priority evacuation over Afghan SIV applicants.
In a statement, Kirby, said, “Once we get more airlift out of Kabul, we’re going to put as many people on those planes as we can. There will be a mix of not just American citizens, but perhaps some Afghan SIV applicants as well.”
Kirby went on to say, “It’s not going to be just Americans first, then SIV applicants.”
The Pentagon’s statements come even after it was reported that the Taliban is going door-to-door “hunting” for American military allies and journalists.
On Monday, the Afghan ambassador to the United Nations, Ghulam Isaczai, said, the Taliban was engaging in “targeted killings” after indicating he saw “gruesome images” of “mass executions.”
Isaczai reported that the Taliban is seeking “those who had worked with” or “had fought alongside the Americans.” He said, “terrified” residents scrambled to destroy any proof of association.
Taliban spokesman Shail Shaheen told the U.S government that the accusations were propaganda.
Shaheen said, “These allegations are totally baseless, totally wrong, the claims are “propaganda” being “used to mislead the world against us. We have a clear policy. The policy is that no one can enter anyone’s house, property. Honor and life of the people are protected.”
Despite the door-to-door searches and accusations of mass executions, Biden says he stands by his decision on pulling out the troops.
