The federal government has awarded $5 million to a group of journalists called Hacks/Hackers to develop software that will encourage regular Americans to confront their friends over &#8220;harmful&#8221; posts, and &#8220;correct misinformation&#8221; by replying with text suggested by the software.
The group is also organizing <a href="https://newsq.net/2022/07/29/why-does-wikipedia-need-a-reliable-sources-list-on-vaccines-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia censors</a> to determine who is a &#8220;credible source&#8221; on vaccines, and block anyone else from being cited on the online encyclopedia. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220823173618/https:/www.hackshackers.com/hh-is-hiring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Job ads</a> for the project do not require that applicants have any expertise in medicine.
That <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vaccine_safety/Reliable_sources#Perennial_sources">list</a> is already taking shape on Wikipedia, with liberal outlets such as The New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, and The Atlantic all marked &#8220;reliable.&#8221; Conservative sites, including The Daily Wire, Daily Mail, Epoch Times, and The Federalist, are all classified as either &#8220;unreliable&#8221; or &#8220;conspiracy.&#8221;
The group led by Hacks/Hackers received $5 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop &#8220;the <a href="https://artt.cs.washington.edu/response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust</a> (ARTT), a suite of expert-informed resources that are intended to provide guidance and encouragement to individuals and communities as they address contentious or difficult topics online,&#8221; it <a href="https://www.hackshackers.com/hacks-hackers-partners-advance-phase-ii/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on October 24.
Users are encouraged to paste in their friends&#8217; Twitter and Facebook posts, and the tool will tell them how &#8220;harmful&#8221; they are. Then it &#8220;suggests relevant responses through tailored response examples or templates&#8221; that the user should copy and paste as a reply, according to a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qye0Fk3gcp8&amp;list=PLGhBP1C7iCOlKk7pNWHP6BN7irpwy9z9Y&amp;index=15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> demonstrating the software.
&#8220;Every day there are motivated citizens, like librarians, health communicators, and amateur volunteers, who engage with the misinformation that is posted by their peers and make efforts to share reliable information to empower their communities,&#8221; the video said
ARTT says it uses psychology techniques to change people&#8217;s views&#8211;though when purveyors of “misinformation” do similar, the ARTT tool calls it &#8220;psychological manipulation tactics.&#8221;
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-469649 size-large" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/ss1-1021x576.png" alt="" width="1021" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/ss1-1021x576.png 1021w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/ss1-300x169.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/ss1-768x433.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/ss1.png 1468w" sizes="(max-width: 1021px) 100vw, 1021px" /></div>
Another ARTT <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_3tnct4zDg&amp;list=PLGhBP1C7iCOlKk7pNWHP6BN7irpwy9z9Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> said that while social media platforms have made efforts to combat misinformation, influencing people&#8217;s views is more effective when it comes from friends than from social media companies directly.
&#8220;That&#8217;s why we want to focus on these peer connections when it comes to having these conversations online &#8230; Instead of coming to you from the platform, it&#8217;s actually coming to you from a friend,&#8221; the video said.
Project materials suggest the view that journalists should help enforce that others only echo &#8220;authoritative guidance&#8221; from governmental and quasi-governmental bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO), which served as an advisor on the project.  The group also indicates that the vaccine issue is just a pilot project for using the software on other topics.
Curtis Houck of the Media Research Center, which monitors bias in media, said journalists like those behind the project &#8220;want to remove dissenting views from the internet and leave the rest in a state of reprogramming. For a profession that’s allegedly taught to oppose a herd mentality, they sure seem hell-bent on creating manufactured consensus.&#8221; The NSF, for its part, is acting like &#8220;a weapon to be wielded against the American people,&#8221; he told The Daily Wire.
Hacks/Hackers did not return a request for comment.
The ARTT funding is part of NSF&#8217;s <a href="https://beta.nsf.gov/funding/initiatives/convergence-accelerator/updates/nsfs-convergence-accelerator-releases-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Convergence Accelerator</a> program, which has a focus on &#8220;Trust &amp; Authenticity in Communication Systems.&#8221;

In September 2021, the Convergence Accelerator awarded <a href="https://beta.nsf.gov/funding/initiatives/convergence-accelerator/portfolio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$21 million</a> to 28 groups including Hacks/Hackers as well as to others like &#8220;Course Correct: Led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, this team creates a dynamic misinformation identification dashboard, empowers journalists to identify misinformation networks, correct misinformation within the affected networks, and test the effectiveness of corrections.&#8221;
It also went to &#8220;Expert Voices Together: Led by George Washington University, this team is building a rapid-response system to assist journalists, scientists, and other experts whose work is being undermined by coordinated online harassment campaigns.&#8221;
In August 2022, 12 teams including Hacks/Hackers went on to a more heavily-funded Phase II, at a combined $60 million.
“Phase II of the ARTT project is led by Hacks/Hackers, a non-profit organization focused on journalism and technology, and the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science &amp; Engineering at University of Washington. Throughout Phase I, a variety of organizations including Wikimedia DC, MuckRock Foundation, and Social Science Research Council collaborated and partnered in the project,” Hacks/Hackers said. “Additional advising in Phase I has come from members of WHO’s Vaccine Safety Net.”

On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit upheld a previous ruling and decided that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/military" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Air Force</a> may not punish or fire service members for not getting vaccinated against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/covid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID-19</a> if they have a religious objection.
The case, <a href="https://www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/22a0255p-06.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doster v. Kendall</a>, <a href="https://reason.com/volokh/2022/11/29/sixth-circuit-upholds-injunction-barring-air-force-from-requiring-covid-vaccines-for-religious-objectors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">involved</a> several Air Force service members who had rejected the COVID-19 vaccine for religious purposes. The most recent decision is part of a continuing class action lawsuit. 
In the opinion, U.S. Circuit Judge Eric Murphy pointed out that almost 10,000 service members have asked for a religious exemption from the Air Force’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, but the Air Force has only given around 135 of those petitions “and only to those already planning to leave the service.” However, the Air Force has “granted thousands of other exemptions for medical reasons […] or administrative reasons.”
Eighteen plaintiffs, <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/sixth-circuit-keeps-air-force-vaccine-mandate-on-hold/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comprised</a> of both reservist and active duty service members, filed the lawsuit against Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall. 
The lawsuit stated that the mandate “substantially burdens their religious exercise in violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA).”
“Under RFRA, the Air Force wrongly relied on its &#8216;broadly formulated’ reasons for the vaccine mandate to deny specific exemptions to the Plaintiffs, especially since it has granted secular exemptions to their colleagues,” the opinion noted.
Judge Murphy discussed the “military readiness” argument, saying that while the Air Force might have a “compelling interest” to mandate that its 501,000 members get the vaccine, “[i]t has also largely achieved this general interest, as evidenced by its ability to vaccinate over 97% of its force.”
However, under RFRA, the Air Force has to demonstrate “that it has a compelling interest in refusing a ‘specific’ exemption… And just because it might have a compelling interest in the abstract does not mean that it has one ‘in each marginal percentage point by which’ it achieves this abstract interest,” the judge added. 
A lower district court had issued an injunction that prohibited the Air Force from punishing certain service members who didn&#8217;t get the vaccine and &#8220;then certified a class of thousands of similar service members and extended this injunction to the class.&#8221;
The previous decision of the district court did not act entirely against the apparent interests of the Air Force. The district court “narrowed the scope of its injunction to permit the Air Force to refuse to enlist or commission new service members who refuse to take a COVID-19 vaccine,” the opinion noted.
In addition, as the opinion pointed out, “its injunction did not interfere with the Air Force’s operational decisions over the Plaintiffs’ duties.”
Lawyer Chris Wiest argued the case for the service members, and said, “[m]y clients are extraordinarily pleased with this decision.”
”We established, and the Court found, a substantial basis of systemic discrimination towards religious believers. This decision will protect the liberty and livelihood of approximately 10,000 class members, all of whom have undertaken to protect our country. The least we can do is extend to them the rights that they protect for all of us,” he stated.
Following the release of the opinion, an Air Force spokesperson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/appeals-court-says-air-force-wrongly-relied-broad-formula-deny-religious-objections-vax-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News Digital that “[t]he Department of the Air Force is complying with a court order to pause all disciplinary and adverse actions for members refusing the COVID-19 vaccine who submitted a timely religious accommodation request and fall within the definition of the court&#8217;s certified class.&#8221;

Vaccine Mandate

A group of 21 GOP governors joined a letter on Wednesday to congressional leaders in an effort to stop President Joe Biden from initiating a COVID vaccine mandate for military personnel.
The <a href="https://www.rga.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Joint-Letter-to-Congress-on-the-Military-Vaccine-Mandate-11.30.2022.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> &#8212; sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Republican minority leaders in the House and Senate &#8212; called for immediate action concerning the military&#8217;s vaccine requirement.
&#8220;The Biden vaccine mandate on our military creates a national security risk that severely impacts our defense capabilities abroad and our state readiness here at home,&#8221; the Republican governors wrote.
&#8220;We face a two-front problem due to the Biden vaccine mandate: current servicemembers are leaving our ranks, and new recruits are not signing up to join. Implementation of the mandate has placed our nation’s military readiness at risk,&#8221; they added.
The letter cited concerns regarding National Guard recruiting efforts that had missed their mark as a major factor for the request. The Army National Guard missed its recruiting target by 10% and announced that 7,500 members left service in an October report cited in the letter.
Deputy Chief of the Army National Guard Strength Maintenance Division Anson Smith was also cited in the letter over the Guard reportedly preparing to discharge around 14,000 soldiers in the next two years for refusing the COVID vaccine.
The governors expressed further concern over a November report revealing that the Armed Forces discharged 8,000 active duty members since the start of the president&#8217;s COVID vaccine mandate.
&#8220;As Congressional leaders, it is your duty to provide for the national defense, and therefore, we call upon you to protect the men and women in uniform—who protect us—from an unnecessary vaccine mandate,&#8221; they concluded.
The letter was signed by the governors of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) celebrated the letter, adding her support to the effort.
&#8220;I’ve been leading the effort in the Senate to stop the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate,&#8221; she tweeted. &#8220;I will not stop fighting for our servicemembers.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) also expressed his support, adding plans to include an end to the military COVID vaccine mandate as part of supporting the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) also pushed the end of the vaccine mandate ahead of the military&#8217;s next spending bill.
&#8220;The COVID-19 vaccine does not prevent transmission or infection of the virus. The DoD forcing out tens-of-thousands of service members will continue to undermine our military readiness and hamper future recruiting efforts for years to come,&#8221; he said in a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-conservatives-draw-red-lines-must-pass-defense-spending-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> with other House Republicans. &#8220;Our brave men and women in uniform should not have to choose between following their sincerely held religious beliefs and serving their country.&#8221;

Some JetBlue pilots are outraged after the airline hired a violent felon to fly planes even as it refuses to hire people who haven’t taken the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/covid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID</a> vaccine, citing safety.
Two pilots told The Daily Wire that JetBlue has hired John Perrys, who served nine years in prison for breaking into the home of a judge and attacking his daughter as she left the shower. Perrys was released from prison in 2014 and is on felony probation until 2044, according to the <a href="http://www.dc.state.fl.us/offenderSearch/detail.aspx?Page=Detail&amp;DCNumber=A50372&amp;TypeSearch=AO" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida Department of Corrections</a>.
“Apparently JetBlue won&#8217;t hire unvaccinated pilots, but they will hire violent convicted felons to fly their airplanes,” one pilot said, speaking on condition of anonymity to protect his job.
In 2005, The Associated Press reported that Perrys, then an Air Force captain, was charged in Louisiana with burglary and assault with a deadly weapon while wearing a mask, and that he faced up to life in prison. Perrys allegedly entered the home of a judge and beat the judge&#8217;s daughter, who was his former fiancée, with a metal baton as she left the shower. Police said that when he was arrested, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and his vehicle contained knives, handcuffs, parachute cord, a shovel, and a mask, according to <a href="https://www.ocala.com/story/news/2005/08/21/pilot-charged-in-attack-at-judges-home/31342281007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the AP</a>.
JetBlue’s <a href="https://careers.jetblue.com/job/Orlando-First-Officer-FL-32827/939859900/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">job applications</a> say, “Every decision JetBlue has made throughout the pandemic has been with our safety value front and center. Whether it’s requiring masks, or many of the other health and safety protocols we’ve had to navigate during the pandemic, all of these efforts have been focused on making the workplace and air travel safer for you and our Customers. As part of our commitment to health and safety, COVID-19 vaccines are required for all JetBlue employees. New hire employees must be fully vaccinated prior to the start of training.”
In November 2021, JetBlue said it was <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/jetblue-nearly-all-staff-will-be-vaccinated-mandate-deadline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requiring</a> nearly all of its 21,000 crew members to take the COVID vaccine, saying it had no choice because it qualified as a federal contractor and was therefore obligated to abide by a Biden administration rule.
But the government never actually enforced that rule. It was delayed, then blocked by an injunction from a judge. Last month, the injunction was lifted, but the following day, the government <a href="https://www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/contractors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;Despite the lifting of the nationwide bar to enforcement on October 18, 2022, at this time agencies should not: (1) take any steps to require covered contractors and subcontractors to come into compliance with previously issued Task Force guidance; or (2) enforce any contract clauses implementing Executive Order 14042.”
JetBlue did not respond to requests from The Daily Wire about its vaccine policies or the hiring of Perrys.
A screenshot of an internal JetBlue web page reviewed by The Daily Wire listed Perrys as a &#8220;Pilot Trainee&#8221; and a &#8220;Crewmember since July 20, 2022.&#8221; Another picture showed him beneath a banner that said &#8220;Congratulations Class 34-22,&#8221; referring to his training. Perrys did not return a request for comment.
The first pilot who spoke with The Daily Wire said that the airline was training Perrys to fly the Airbus A320, and that “several instructors have refused to train him. Many captains have told management they’ll refuse to fly with him.”
A second pilot said he is “on the line as a flying pilot in control of a plane with up to two hundred paying and oblivious souls on board.”

A California appeals court ruled against the San Diego Unified School District on Tuesday by affirming school districts lack the authority to impose student COVID vaccine mandates.
The 4th District Court of Appeal agreed with a lower court&#8217;s <a href="https://www.sirillp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/SD-Appeal-decision-ebae31d7a4c2fc1f05bc4144fe5db74b.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruling</a>, which determined that only state lawmakers could require a vaccine for in-person school attendance leaving &#8220;no room for each of the over 1,000 individual school districts to impose a patchwork of additional vaccine mandates.&#8221;
District officials adopted a &#8220;Vaccination Roadmap&#8221; in September 2021 that would have required a COVID vaccine for students 16 or older to attend in-person classes, enroll in sports, and engage in other extracurricular activities. However, the anti-mandate group Let Them Choose posed a legal challenge to the district in October 2021.
The court called the district&#8217;s so-called roadmap a strained argument that does not actually mandate students to be vaccinated against COVID but &#8220;rather gives them a choice to either do so or be enrolled in independent study,&#8221; adding the choice resembles &#8220;the school cafeteria offering a choice between Brussels sprouts or broccoli.&#8221;
&#8220;We doubt that students and their parents perceive a real choice,&#8221; the court filing reads. &#8220;For some, independent study would likely be a step backwards.&#8221;
The ruling cited reports from California Department of Education officials who argue that independent study programs work for some students who typically have support from their parents or guardian, motivation, and a strong commitment to work independently.
Lee Andelin, attorney for plaintiff Let Them Choose, told the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-23/san-diego-unified-covid-vaccine-mandate-appeals-court">Los Angeles Times</a> the court&#8217;s ruling makes a &#8220;great win for children and the rule of law and ensures consistency statewide.&#8221;
&#8220;The published opinion applies to all California school districts and sets important precedent to protect access to education,&#8221; Andelin said.
Dean White, a Washington-based lawyer who has been a part of several cases surrounding COVID mandates, to the <a href="https://californiaglobe.com/articles/california-appellate-court-panel-strikes-down-sdusd-appeal-of-vaccine-mandate-ban/">California Globe</a> that the district could have avoided the issue if only it allowed religious and personal belief exemptions.
&#8220;A lot of parents still would have not liked the mandate itself, but it would have given many a reasonable way out,&#8221; White said. &#8220;Instead, the district backed them into a corner and didn&#8217;t even hear them out on it before putting in that mandate.&#8221;
White argued although children&#8217;s health and safety are essential, religious beliefs are also important, citing students have the right to individually pray or wear religious symbols such as the cross, the star of David, or a hijab.
&#8220;But here, even if it went against your beliefs, they said you had to take a vaccine and go against your faith, or go to alternate methods,&#8221; White added. &#8220;You can see why judges keep siding on these groups challenging school districts over this — and the San Diego case is huge and precedent-making.&#8221;
Mike Murad, San Diego Unified spokesperson, told the L.A. Times the district is examining the appeals court ruling and &#8220;will consider its next steps.&#8221;

The majority of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID-19</a> deaths are now happening in people who are vaccinated, according to a new analysis.
An analysis carried out by Cynthia Cox, vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation, for <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/23/vaccinated-people-now-make-up-majority-covid-deaths/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post’s Health 202</a>, found that 58% of coronavirus fatalities in August occurred in instances where the person was vaccinated against COVID-19 or had received a booster. The percentage has more than doubled since September of last year, when the number was 23%. According to the Post, vaccinated people made up 42% of coronavirus deaths in January and February of 2022.
“We can no longer say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Cox told the outlet.
Even though vaccinated people are still passing away from COVID-19, the Post pointed to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analysis that appeared to show that people should still get their scheduled booster doses of the vaccine. The analysis <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/data-review/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>, “COVID-19 vaccines continued to reduce the risk of dying among all age groups, including older adults, with the most protection observed among people who have received [two or more] booster doses.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the president’s top medical advisor, recently <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/22/fauci-final-white-house-coronavirus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave</a> his last COVID-19 briefing as he plans to retire next month. Republicans have voiced concerns over Fauci’s recommendations regarding pandemic policies and his potential connection to gain-of-function research in his career. They <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/republicans-vow-investigate-fauci-steps-december/story?id=88741486" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promised</a> to investigate Fauci if they took control of Congress, which they did take control of the House in the midterm elections.
At the briefing, Fauci <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/11/22/fauci-last-press-briefing-covid">pressed</a> the importance of COVID-19 vaccinations.
&#8220;My final message — may be the final message I give you from this podium — is that, please for your own safety, for that of your family, get your updated COVID-19 shot as soon as you&#8217;re eligible, to protect yourself, your family and your community,&#8221; Fauci said.
When questioned over the hardest times during the pandemic, Fauci discussed observing people &#8220;not getting vaccinated for reasons that have nothing to do with public health, but have to do because of divisiveness and ideological differences.” 
&#8220;As a physician, it pains me because I don&#8217;t want to see anybody get infected, I don&#8217;t want to see anybody hospitalized, and I don&#8217;t want to see anybody die from COVID,&#8221; he said.
As of October 20, 80% of the U.S. population was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-19-vaccine-doses.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vaccinated</a>, while 68% were fully vaccinated, and 34% had gotten their boosters. Last year, the CDC also noted that sometimes booster shots are mischaracterized as an initial dose, which can throw off the numbers.
Still, many Americans do not wish to get vaccinated, despite the Biden administration’s pushes to do so, as well as their attempted COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Report: Vaccinated Now Make Up Majority Of COVID Deaths

The Washington Post Report: Vaccinated Now Make Up Majority Of COVID Deaths 

Anthony Fauci

COVID-19

<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-behar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> claimed on Wednesday that co-host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/whoopi-goldberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whoopi Goldberg</a> — who is vaccinated and has had COVID at least twice — would have been killed by the novel coronavirus if she had not been vaccinated and boosted.
Goldberg, who just returned to the show following her latest bout with COVID, began the segment by lashing out at conservatives who have had their fill of outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director — and White House Medical adviser — <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/were-going-to-change-the-rules-rand-paul-threatens-fauci-in-testy-senate-spat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Anthony Fauci</a>.
Referencing Fauci&#8217;s final White House <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/no-surprise-faucis-final-message-is-a-lecture-on-masks-getting-the-latest-booster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">briefing</a> on Tuesday – during which he encouraged people to continue testing and getting updated vaccines for COVID as they became available — Goldberg noted that some critics were ready to throw out anything Fauci said on principle.
&#8220;A lot of conservatives who posted about how much they hate Dr. Fauci that they would rather get COVID than ever test again, let me explain something to you as somebody who’s just come off it again. And not a nice, light, you know, because I came off a tough ass [COVID diagnosis], OK?&#8221; Goldberg said. &#8220;You don’t want to get this. It’s not funny. You don’t want this. This will kill you! What’s the matter with you people?&#8221;
WATCH:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Whoopi blows a gasket at Dr. Fauci&#39;s critics. &quot;You don&#39;t want this! This WILL kill you!&quot; she of the virus.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Behar then argued that the only reason COVID hadn&#8217;t killed Goldberg was the fact that she had gotten her latest booster shot.
&#8220;The reason it didn&#8217;t kill you is because you&#8217;ve been boosted. If you are not boosted, you&#8217;re gonna — you could die. That’s the point,&#8221; Behar said. &#8220;People write on Twitter or someplace, you see? &#8216;Whoopi got it, and she has the vaccinations.&#8217; Yeah, but Whoopi&#8217;s sitting here. She’s not in a casket, thank you.&#8221;
&#8220;And people who are immunocompromised, you know, I have to stay well, so I don’t hurt anybody else. This is how we take care of each other,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;I don’t understand how a suggestion for making your life perhaps better for the holidays makes people crazy.&#8221;
Co-host Sunny Hostin jumped in then to defend Fauci, claiming that all he had ever wanted to do was help people. &#8220;He&#8217;s spent his entire life saving people&#8217;s lives,&#8221; she said.

All students at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/notre-dame-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Notre Dame</a> will have a COVID vaccine booster <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vaccine-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandate</a> imposed on them for the 2023-24 school year.
Notre Dame&#8217;s University Health Services announced Tuesday that it was imposing the mandate on all students for the next school year. In order to attend classes on campus, and even remotely, next year, students must receive a booster of the COVID vaccine. Conservatives blasted the university for imposing the policy on students.
Mary Frances Myler, a postgraduate fellow at Notre Dame&#8217;s Center for Citizenship and Constitutional Government, shared a screenshot of the email on Twitter. &#8220;As of today, Notre Dame will require yet ANOTHER round of the vaccine for students,&#8221; Myler wrote. &#8220;The pandemic ended, but the Covid Regime remains fully intact and detached from reality.&#8221;

In the email itself, University Health Services Director Edward P. Junkins touted the University&#8217;s low rate of COVID cases and attributed it to the school&#8217;s vaccination rate. &#8220;In an effort to continue this trend and prevent serious illness related to coronavirus, I write today to inform you that the COVID-19 bivalent booster vaccine is required of all students — undergraduate, graduate, and professional, including students studying or performing research remotely and/or virtually — to enroll in classes for the 2023-24 academic year,&#8221; Junkins stated.
The email encouraged students to receive the booster either before traveling or during the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays, or at a University vaccination clinic once students return in January. Once they have received their booster, they must upload documentation to the university system. Students can also receive exemptions, but must apply for one unless they have an existing exemption.
&#8220;As with all required University vaccines, if you fail to complete this requirement or are not granted an exemption, a hold will be placed on your student account, which will prevent you from registering for classes for the fall 2023 semester,&#8221; the email stated. &#8220;All current students have until Wednesday, March 1, 2023 to fulfill the bivalent booster vaccine requirement for the 2023-24 academic year.&#8221;
<a href="https://ndsmcobserver.com/2022/11/university-announces-additional-covid-19-booster-requirement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Observer</a>, an independent newspaper covering Notre Dame and her sister colleges, also reported on the email.
The University&#8217;s vaccine mandate comes even as leading experts have shown a high risk of adverse effects. In October, Florida Surgeon General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/florida-surgeon-general-issues-warning-for-mrna-coronavirus-vaccines-fl-will-not-be-silent-on-the-truth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph Ladapo</a> announced that the state recommends against giving mRNA COVID vaccines to adult men ages 18 to 39 because of a heightened risk of cardiac-related death, as The Daily Wire reported. In addition, a study from the American College of Cardiology showed that adults, both male and female, experienced higher rates of myocarditis and pericarditis from the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/myocarditis-risk-from-covid-19-vaccines-up-to-3-times-higher-from-moderna-than-pfizer-study" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moderna vaccine</a>.
Conservatives blasted the University in response to the news.
&#8220;Notre Dame requiring bivalent covid booster for all students… including remote students,&#8221; conservative commentator <a href="https://twitter.com/Liz_Wheeler/status/1592755840880373760?s=20&amp;t=Dkrinsnou6yAa-p3-wx8wg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liz Wheeler</a> wrote on Twitter. &#8220;Good Lord, don’t waste your money sending your child to an anti-science institution.&#8221;

Over the weekend, three former NBA referees filed a lawsuit against the NBA, charging they were fired for refusing to get a COVID vaccine.
The three referees, Kenny Mauer, Mark Ayotte and Jason Phillips, declined to obtain the vaccine for religious reasons.
“Had the NBA not taken upon itself to force faith-based conscientious objectors to adhere to secular norms, none of plaintiffs&#8217; complained-of injuries would have manifested. In sum: Plaintiffs were persecuted,” the lawsuit claims, as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/former-nba-refs-claim-they-were-fired-covid-vax-refusal-allege-jab-job-ultimatum?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reported.
The referees also say that even with the NBA rescinding the requirement for a COVID vaccine for the 2022-23 season, they have not been reinstated.
In July, the NBA <a href="https://twitter.com/VinceGoodwill/status/1552017186729984000?s=20&amp;t=aS5eU8pf8CP4r07mHzKAag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a memo</a> stating they “will not have a vaccine mandate in place next season, but will strongly suggest all personnel be up to date with vaccinations.”
Mauer served as a referee in the league for 35 years, making him the third-longest serving referee in league history. Last February, Mauer says 19 of the league’s 73 referees were reluctant to get one of the COVID vaccines the NBA approved.
A Catholic, Mauer <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/2022/02/23/nba-referee-ken-mauer-vaccine-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Jason Whitlock, “I never thought that my faith in our Lord Jesus Christ would prevent me or stop me or get in the way of me refereeing NBA basketball games. … That’s what’s happened. Not to just me, but other people.”
He cited theories that aborted fetal tissue had been used in the vaccines.
Going into the 2021-22 season, reports <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/report-nba-reaches-95-vaccination-rate-among-players" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that 95% of players had either been vaccinated or were undergoing the process. That meant that on average, one player per team was not vaccinated.
Last Friday, former Washington State University football coach Nick Rolovich <a href="https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2022/11/15/Colleges/WSU-football-coach-Nick-Rolovich-wrongful-termination-lawsuit-covid-vaccine-mandate.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a lawsuit</a> against the university, contending his &#8220;rights were violated when he was fired for failing to comply with the state’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate,” WSU countered that Rolovich’s suit was “wholly without merit.
Rolovich’s suit mentions &#8220;eight counts, alleging breach of contract, discrimination, wrongful withholding of wages, as well as violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the First and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.” The suit contends that WSU and Washington governor Jay Inslee “forced Rolovich to choose between his job and an ‘experimental vaccine.’”

Myocarditis cases hit levels two-to-three times higher in people with a second dose of the Moderna <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/covid-19">COVID-19</a> vaccine than the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, research shows.
American College of Cardiology released a <a href="https://www.acc.org/About-ACC/Press-Releases/2022/11/07/18/58/Which-COVID-Vaccine-You-Get-Can-Impact-Myocarditis-Risk">study</a> last week that showed that males and females between 18 and 39 with the Moderna vaccine had higher rates of pericarditis and myocarditis. However, males ages 18-29 had the highest rates after receiving the second dose of Moderna.
The National Institutes of Health reports patients experience symptoms of chest pain, fever, fatigue, shortness of breath, and a rapid or irregular pulse, heart failure, shock or death.
Researchers pulled data from approximately 3 million people in British Columbia, Canada, and used participants over the age of 18 who were hospitalized for myocarditis, pericarditis, or myopericarditis within 21 days after having received a second Pfizer or Moderna between Jan. 1, 2021, and Sept. 9, 2021. The study excluded participants that had experienced myocarditis or pericarditis within one year before receiving the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
&#8220;Within 21 days of the second dose, there were a total of 59 myocarditis cases, 21 after Pfizer and 31 after Moderna; and there were a total of 41 pericarditis cases: 21 after Pfizer and 20 after Moderna,&#8221; the study reads. &#8220;Researchers also looked at rates per million doses and the rate was 35.6 cases per million for Moderna and 12.6 per million for Pfizer—an almost threefold increase after Moderna shots vs. Pfizer.&#8221;
&#8220;Comparatively, rates of myocarditis in the general population in 2018, were 2.01 per million in people under age 40 and 2.2 per million in people over age 40,&#8221; the study added.
Guy Witberg, MD, MPH, a cardiologist at Rabin Medical Center in Petah-Tikva, Israel, said the study is &#8220;reassuring for vaccine safety,&#8221; adding it personalizes the approach to administering COVID-19 vaccines since further data shows myocarditis is a very rare adverse event after both vaccines.
[The study] should help put to rest &#8216;vaccine hesitancy&#8217; due to concerns over cardiac adverse events,&#8221; Witberg said. &#8220;This is one of only a few direct comparisons of the two widely adopted mRNA vaccines, and its results have practical policy implications: for a substantial segment of the population suffering from cardiovascular disease.&#8221;
Moderna spokesman Luke Mircea-Willats emailed a statement to <a href="https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2022/11/07/myocarditis-COVID-mRNA-vaccines-study/1131667835861/">UPI</a> saying, &#8220;mRNA-1273 has been administered to hundreds of millions of people worldwide and has been shown to be effective against both the original strain of the virus and its major variants.&#8221;
&#8220;Regulatory agencies around the world have stated that the benefits of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines significantly outweigh the risk across all age groups,&#8221; Mircea-Willats wrote. &#8220;Vaccination against COVID-19 continues to be a critical tool in overcoming the impacts of the global pandemic.&#8221;
Moderna told UPI myocarditis cases are a known but &#8220;very rare&#8221; risk associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, adding, &#8220;when it does occur, cases are generally mild and resolve after a few days with treatment and rest.&#8221;
Moderna further notes population levels indicate that the risk of myocarditis after COVID-19 infection is much higher than after COVID-19 vaccination, adding it &#8220;shares all adverse events data with regulators and has a robust pharmacovigilance function, ensuring any adverse events are recorded and shared with the regulator in line with local regulations.&#8221;
The research drew mainstream media attention over the weekend.
Da&#8217;Vion Miller, 23, told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/myocarditis-covid-vaccine-research-long-term-effects-rcna55666">NBC News</a> that he initially experienced heart inflammation symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, and dizziness two days after receiving his first Pfizer vaccine in October 2021.
Within the week after taking the shot, Miller was found unconscious in his bathroom in Detroit.
&#8220;It&#8217;s been a scary experience,&#8221; he said, adding he still experiences similar symptoms and has been in and out of the hospital following his diagnosis.
NBC reports Pfizer and the Pediatric Heart Network will conduct a study of people who were previously hospitalized with myocarditis associated with the vaccine over five years in the U.S. and Canada
Dr. Simone Gold,  founder of America&#8217;s Frontline Doctors, who was de-platformed by social media giants Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube for posting information surrounding COVID-19 in 2020, said Pfizer and Moderna are launching clinical trials to track vaccine-caused myocarditis in teens and young adults.
We were censored for exposing the dangers of these experimental biological agents,&#8221; Gold said. &#8220;Now, even the creators of the “vaccines” are forced to recognize the truth.&#8221;

If the pandemic police get “amnesty” for setting a generation of children back two grades and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lockdown-tyrants-want-pandemic-amnesty-conservatives-flood-social-media-with-reminders-of-what-they-did/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wishing unemployment and even death</a> on skeptics of a hastily formulated COVID vaccine, you can bet they’re going to seek a mulligan for another cause in a year or two: The systematic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transgender-surgery-poised-to-become-a-5-billion-industry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maiming of thousands of kids</a> who became confused about their gender.
The Atlantic’s Emily Oster this week <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/not-a-chance-atlantic-writer-begs-for-pandemic-amnesty-forgiveness-for-pandemic-tyranny/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floated the idea</a> of letting bygones be bygones over the pandemic lockdown madness. She wants amnesty from folks who weren’t allowed to hold hands with dying loved ones, schoolchildren abandoned to Zoom, normal people who were hounded and screamed at in supermarkets and department stores by mask Karens, and young, healthy workers who were fired because they didn’t want – and it turns out, probably didn’t need – a demonstrably flawed vaccination.
The debate about the COVID vaccines’ efficacy won’t be settled anytime soon, although there is strong evidence they may have saved the lives of many older recipients. But when it comes to the political reaction to the pandemic, Oster’s plea is a tacit admission that the science is settled: Masks were mostly useless, kids should have been in school, people had a right to decide whether they took the jab, and the finger-wagging yard-sign crowd behaved very, very badly.
The contempt with which the Atlantic’s proposal was met indicates no such détente will be forthcoming. And that’s a good thing, because if misinformed zealots backed by compromised scientists, social media performers, and a deeply politicized public health bureaucracy get their way, they’ll be back wanting off the hook for another case of mass psychosis.
More and more minors who once experienced gender dysphoria and &#8220;changed&#8221; their gender are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-documentary-highlights-regret-for-three-detransitioned-women/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">detransitioning</a>. Their stories all share a chilling sameness. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-sank-into-a-deep-depression-detransitioner-loses-natural-singing-voice-after-gender-affirming-care/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">They were alienated</a>. People they should have been able to trust encouraged them to believe they were trapped in the wrong body. They were subjected to treatments ranging from puberty blockers to breast surgeries that left them even more unhappy and permanently disfigured.
For now, “the science” seems to believe that an exploding percentage of people under 18 are transgender, and “helping” them requires affirming the warped idea incubated in their heads by counselors, activists, and social media charlatans. Once-credible medical associations and prestigious hospitals support removing the breasts of young girls, injecting minors with hormones and drugs that will change them forever, and endorsing a mental condition that should only be addressed with love and therapy.
When the number of detransitioners hits the inevitable critical mass, it will become crystal clear to everyone equipped with a heart and a brain that it was all a cruel and grotesque illusion. Sterile and disfigured, they will form a column of anger aimed at all those who participated in the monstrous experiment currently unfolding before our eyes. There will be nowhere to hide from their rage as they fully awaken to what has been done to them.
Those advocates of the hideously euphemistic “gender affirming care” will insist that they meant well. They will claim they were earnestly following “the science.” They’ll say no one could possibly have known that carving up confused adolescents would ruin their lives.
You can bet that they will once again ask for &#8220;amnesty.&#8221;
This time, it will be up to parents whose children were stolen by pronoun-obsessed groomers, boys whose journey to manhood will never be complete, and women who were born girls but will never be moms.
And they thought pandemic amnesty was a tough sell.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/italy">Italian</a> authorities launched an investigation into Pfizer earlier this year for allegedly funneling over a billion dollars in profits out of the country to dodge paying certain taxes, sources told Bloomberg.
Italy’s Guardia di Finanza, a police force under the Minister of Economy and Finance, alleges that the pharmaceutical giant transferred $1.2 billion in excess capital to affiliates in the United States and the Netherlands to skirt taxes on profit between 2017 to 2019, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-26/pfizer-pfe-hid-1-2-billion-in-profits-italian-investigators-allege?leadSource=uverify%20wall">according</a> to the outlet.
Pam Eisele, a spokesperson for Pfizer, told Bloomberg that Italian tax authorities routinely audit and investigate the corporation.
“Pfizer cooperates with such audits and investigations,” Eisele said. “Pfizer complies with the tax laws and requirements of Italy.”
Investigators began an administrative audit of the company in February and said that once authorities complete the review, the results could bring about fines and tax payments.
According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11361105/Pfizer-funneled-1-2BILLION-country-Covid-avoid-tax.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=social-twitter_dailymailUK">Daily Mail</a>, Pfizer produced $48 billion in global profits during the three years that Italian authorities are investigating.
Bloomberg reported that Pfizer has a plant in the Marche region manufacturing pills for cancer and nervous system disorders and another in Sicily making sterilized injectable antibiotics.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told Parliament Wednesday that the country&#8217;s tax authorities will focus on multinational companies under her administration, according to the Daily Mail.
The allegations come after Pfizer recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pfizer-hiking-covid-vaccine-prices-by-400">announced</a> it plans to almost quadruple the price of its COVID-19 vaccine as the U.S. federal government’s program to purchase doses comes to an end.
Pfizer President Angela Lukin announced October 21 that the pharmaceutical giant will charge between $110 and $130 per dose, although the treatment will be available at no cost to Americans with private or government insurance.
“We are confident that the U.S. price point of the COVID-19 vaccine reflects its overall cost effectiveness and ensures the price will not be a barrier for access for patients,” Lukin said, adding it would not begin purchasing the vaccines until 2023.
The United States has purchased hundreds of millions of vaccine doses from Pfizer, which partnered with BioNTech to manufacture the product. In one recent deal, the federal government bought 105 million doses for $3.2 billion, implying a cost of slightly more than $30 per dose.
