Sometimes, those posting do omitting telling the truth. In the case of @nicolas hulscher mph, this person is omitting important data and facts. While claiming 2.7% serious AE, maybe he should have mentioned that the comparator vaccine had the same % (2.6%), and none of these were directly cause by either vaccine. As well, one really needs to be obsessed not to see that the NEX in the commercial name of this new mRNA vaccine is linked to NEXT and has nothing to do with death. As well, there is much more definitions to NEX in latin, which aslo means « linked ».
As per the mNEXSPIKE product insert : « Serious adverse events were reported by 2.7% of participants (n=156) who received MNEXSPIKE and 2.6% of participants (n=151) who received the comparator vaccine through a median follow-up of 8.8 months. There were no serious adverse events considered causally related to MNEXSPIKE. »

Moderna’s Next-Gen mRNA Shot Is Literally Named After Death
The FDA just approved mNEXSPIKE — despite a 2.7% serious adverse event rate in trials.
In Latin, “NEX” means violent death.
mNEXSPIKE = mDEATHSPIKE.

Most researchers think that research is HARD.
You are expected to:
- Spend weeks drowning in endless academic papers - Struggle with the implementation of complex methodologies - Feel overwhelmed by mountains of (often inaccurate) information
But it's (mechanically) really simple:
- Use targeted search strategies and strings for your literature review - Start with simple methods before increasing complexity to get confidence - Understand fundamentals to be able to critically assess other sources
Research process itself isn't hard, but we've been conditioned to think it is.
Let me be brutally honest - I used to be TERRIBLE at research.
I felt lost when my models didn't converge or my results didn't make any sense. Frustrated that I was told 'to figure it out myself'. But when I started looking into 'how' things work and 'why' they work this way (aka. fundamentals), it finally clicked.
Most people overcomplicate research. They believe it requires superhuman intelligence or an endless amount of time. WRONG. It's about smart strategies, not hard work.
My secret? I treat research like a strategic game. Targeted and laser-focused. No more drowning in irrelevant information.

Online vaccine misinformation must be penalized. In the case of LinkedIn, we should all be reminded of their Community Policies where it states: « Do not share content that directly contradicts guidance from leading global health organizations and public health authorities; including false information about the safety or efficacy of vaccines or medical treatments. » Despite such very clear and strict guidelines, we are still seeing the likes of Physicians for Informed Consent, Aaron Siri , Children's Health Defense , and McCullough Foundation as well as Nicolas Hulscher, MPH polluting what should be a professional network free of posting that contradicts guidance from leading global health organizations and public health authorities; including false information about the safety or efficacy of vaccines or medical treatments. These misinformation posts are being called out by a numbers of dedicated individuals making sure that every misinformation posts are being corrected with truth.

An outbreak of the unvaccinated : deadly measles outbreak that has infected over 1,000 people across 30 states and killed two unvaccinated children. Case numbers this year have already surpassed 2024’s total and mark the second-highest number of confirmed cases in a year since the disease was declared eradicated in the U.S. in 2000. Some 96% of reported infections have involved a person who was unvaccinated or whose status was unknown and 13% have resulted in hospitalization.

After having cut so much in real medicine, now RFK Jr wants to divert money towards alternative medicine. Why ?
He said he would greatly expand people’s access to experimental and alternative medical treatments, even while acknowledging that a “lot of charlatans” are likely to take advantage of suffering people as a result. RFK Jr. made the announcement during a recent interview on the Ultimate Human Podcast hosted by Gary Brecka, a self-proclaimed biologist, biohacker, and longevity expert (Brecka appears to possess two bachelors’ degrees in biology, but is not a licensed medical doctor). Kennedy stated that, under his reign as Secretary of Health and Human Services, Americans will more easily be able to get their hands on treatments not currently approved by health regulators.

Le terme « fake news » apparaît pour la première fois en 1999, dans l’émission satirique américaine The Daily Show. À l’origine, il s’agissait d’un jeu TV sur l’actualité. La frontière entre l’information et la fiction était volontairement brouillée pour faire rire.
Mais dès le développement des réseaux sociaux, le terme est devenu un synonyme de contenus mensongers, créés délibérément pour tromper, manipuler ou influencer le public.
La Fake news est devenue la Fake Science, comme les platistes et les climatodénialistes.
La Fake science est constituée de réseaux organisés qui produisent des publications scientifiques frauduleuses, créent de faux centres de recherche et diffusent des résultats fallacieux sur des plateformes crédibles (comme certains médias français).
Des outils comme le Problematic Paper Screener, développé par Guillaume Cabanac et ses collègues, traquent aujourd’hui ces publications en repérant des « phrases torturées » symptomatiques de fraudes ou de manipulations.
Pour une présentation de l'outil https://lnkd.in/dVXBM2Fk Pour accéder à la plateforme : https://lnkd.in/dE7G-76B::::::
Il devient urgent de ne plus employer le terme de « fake news » mais de parler de « manipulation de l’information. »
Ce terme englobe les fausses nouvelles, la désinformation, la propagande, la fake science.
Nous devons accepter le phénomène d’ingérence informationnelle visant à influencer, diviser ou déstabiliser une société. Ceci n'est pas une vision complotiste...
Nous devons exiger un « service minimum » de lutte contre la manipulation de l’information.
Cela implique : - La création de dispositifs publics et privés de veille et de sanctions, - Le développement d'une nouvelle épistémologie du concept de l’esprit critique, - De nouveaux outils juridiques, notamment à destination des médias pour sanctionner la diffusion de la manipulation de l'information.
L’information n'est plus une liberté publique, lorsqu'elle est utilisée pour manipuler.

So long as the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex remains in power and its biolabs operational without oversight, their illicit programs will persist: engineered pathogens, perpetual emergency declarations, and genetic countermeasures masked as medicine.

Just twelve anti-vaxxers are responsible for almost two-thirds of anti‑vaccine content circulating on social media platforms. This new analysis of content posted or shared to social media over 812,000 times between February and March uncovers how a tiny group of determined anti-vaxxers is responsible for a tidal wave of disinformation—and shows how platforms can fix it by enforcing their standards.

"The bushy-bearded man with slicked-back hair, sitting onstage with the new FDA official and asking conspiracy questions, was the master of ceremonies for the day: the newly announced MAHA Institute executive director, Leland Lehrman. As for the “master puppeteer” behind the conspiracy, over the years, R. Leland Lehrman has been quite explicit in his answer. In fact, Lehrman has promoted some of the most vicious antisemitism ever written. A few in rural New York, such as Will Solomon at the River and the short-lived Vaxx Facts newsletter, tried to expose Lehrman’s promotion of antisemitism in the anti-vaccine movement.[2] However, as a local activist, Lehrman has been a relatively unknown name to those who track anti-vaccine activism. All that changed when he became director of the MAHA Institute, a national organization with deep pockets and ties to the Trump administration."

💉 Vaccines and Immunological Memory: How Your Body Learns to Fight Our body constantly faces invisible invaders—like viruses, bacteria, and other harmful microbes. Thankfully, it has a powerful defense: the immune system, an elite army trained to detect, respond to, and eliminate threats. And with the help of vaccines, we can prepare this army before the real attack happens. 🧪 What Is a Vaccine? A vaccine introduces a harmless version of a virus or bacterium—such as a protein fragment or a weakened/inactivated form. It doesn’t cause disease, but it’s enough to activate your immune system and “train” it. 🧠 What Is Immunological Memory? The first time your immune system encounters a pathogen, it takes time to identify it and respond with a defense. This delay is why we feel sick. However, vaccines allow us to train the immune system in advance, so next time, it responds immediately. This training forms immunological memory. 🧬 How Is Immunological Memory Formed? When a vaccine is introduced: 1. Dendritic cells (Antigen Presenting Cells, or APCs) recognize the vaccine antigen and present it to T cells. 2. Helper T cells (CD4+) are activated by APCs. 3. These Helper T cells then stimulate B cell maturation and differentiation, leading to: - The formation of plasma cells that produce antibodies - The generation of long-lasting memory B cells 4. Cytotoxic T cells (CD8+) are also activated by APCs. They are trained to identify and destroy infected cells—and some differentiate into memory T cells for faster future responses. These memory cells can last for months, years, or even a lifetime. ⚔️ The Second Encounter: Faster and Stronger When the same pathogen invades again, memory cells recognize it instantly. Your immune system skips the “learning” phase and launches a rapid, targeted attack—often before you feel any symptoms. #Immunology #Vaccines #Helper_T_Cells #Memory_T_Cells #Memory_B_Cells #Cytotoxic_T_Cells #Immunological_Memory

May we talk? Many vaccine opponents believe there are fetal cells in vaccines. This would be very concerning to many IF it were true.

Vaccines protect kids from serious diseases like measles and pertussis. They do not cause autism — decades of rigorous research confirm this.
Scientists continue to study autism, and current evidence points to multiple factors including genetics (here is a helpful summary: https://lnkd.in/gVxnZHuB).
As parents, we all want what’s best for our children’s health and safety. That’s why vaccines go through years of testing to monitor safety and efficacy.
Have questions? A trusted source is your child’s doctor — they can help you make informed decisions about immunization.

Is what is happening in Washington the best demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect ? Stupidity is a consequence of a failure to be aware of one’s own limitations, and this type of cognitive failure has a scientific name: the Dunning-Kruger effect.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a well-known psychological phenomenon that describes the tendency for individuals to overestimate their level of intelligence, knowledge, or competence in a particular area. They may also simultaneously misjudge the intelligence, expertise, or competence of others. In other words, they are ignorant of their own ignorance. The effect has been widely written about, and investigated empirically, with hundreds of studies published in peer-reviewed journals confirming and analyzing the phenomenon, particularly in relation to the dangers it poses in certain contexts.

The RFK Jr lie versus the truth regarding vaccine and placebo studies. The lie : “The only vaccine that has been tested in a full-blown placebo trial against an inert placebo was the Covid vaccine,” Kennedy said May 14 in testimony before the US Senate’s Health, Labor, Education and Pensions Committee. “The other 76 shots that children in this country received between birth and 18 years old, none of them have been safety tested in prelicensing studies against the placebo, which means we don’t understand the risk profile for those products, and that’s something I intend to remedy,” The truth : « There have been 258 placebo-controlled clinical trials of vaccines, according to Scott and a team of volunteers who scoured databases of medical literature. More than half of those studies tested vaccines against inert placebos. Based on Scott’s research, at least nine of the 16 vaccines that are routinely recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for children have been tested against inert placebos, while several more have been tested against active placebos. »
