A survey of the likely global toll of Covid so-called “vaccination,” based on the reports collected by a worldwide team of researchers this past week.

The general blindness to the toll of Covid so-called “vaccination” includes a near-universal inability to see that both Presidents Trump and Biden started raising “health concerns” after their injections. (The same applies to the steady global increase in dementia since 2021.)
Critics troubled by ‘slurring’ Trump’s plan to ‘run’ Venezuela
January 3, 2026
President Donald Trump was big on boast and short on details when he committed the U.S. to running the whole nation of Venezuela on Saturday. “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump told reporters in the hours following his administration’s invasion and seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
“This is Bushism with less of a plan. It’s the Iraq and Afghanistan thing with less of a plan,” said Bulwark Publisher Sarah Longwell, who added that Trump clearly is not doing well mentally even as he prepares to send the world’s most expensive military into a South American country. “Trump was slurring,” Longwell said of the press conference. “He was going off on wild tangents at a critical moment of information … Trump gives this slurring, meandering thing — then you’ve got Hegseth doing an ass-kissing session on Trump, and then he points to Rubio — who wasn’t even prepared to speak, so basically he says ‘everybody put your big boy pants on because Donald Trump means what he says.”
Venezuela Raid Briefing Erupts After Viral Post Says Trump Is “Falling In and Out of Consciousness”
January 3, 2026
President Donald Trump sparked intense online debate Friday after appearing at a press conference announcing a dramatic U.S. military operation in Venezuela, as a short video clip from the briefing went viral showing him briefly closing his eyes while a senior military officer spoke. Video from the event shows Trump standing beside a uniformed U.S. military commander as operational details were outlined. In a short segment that circulated widely on social media, Trump appears to briefly close his eyes and lower his head, prompting speculation from critics about his attentiveness during the briefing.
One of the most widely shared posts came from political commentator Brian Krassenstein, who described Trump as “falling in and out of consciousness.” Other users echoed similar claims, arguing the moment raised concerns about Trump’s focus during a major national security announcement.
Supporters quickly pushed back, sharing longer versions of the briefing and arguing the viral clip was misleading or taken out of context. They noted Trump spoke at multiple points during the event and maintained that he was not asleep, accusing critics of exaggerating the moment for political effect.
Note Trump’s affect during the remarks by Gen. John Daniel “Raizin” Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (and venture capitalist):
Trump declares himself in ‘PERFECT HEALTH’ after WSJ raises serious questions about bruises, aspirin, and sleep
January 2, 2026
Less than 24 hours after a deeply revealing interview with the Wall Street Journal sent fresh ripples of concern through Washington, Donald Trump did what he has always done best: he graded his own performance and handed himself a perfect score.
Taking to Truth Social on Friday, the nearly 80-year-old president announced that White House physicians had declared him in “Perfect Health” and that he had once again “ACED” a cognitive exam — this time, according to Trump, with a flawless 100 percent score. The timing was not subtle. The post came one day after the Journal published a wide-ranging profile that lingered uncomfortably on Trump’s age, his visible bruising, and his increasingly unconventional approach to basic health practices.
Doctor says Trump may have revealed he’s being treated for ‘cognitive impairment’
January 2, 2026
A physician and pulmonologist said President Donald Trump may have accidentally let it slip that White House doctors could be treating him for “cognitive impairment” based on one of the president’s recent social media posts. During a Friday posting spree to his Truth Social account, Trump announced that doctors declared him to be “in ‘PERFECT HEALTH,’ and that I ‘ACED’ (Meaning, was correct on 100% of the questions asked!), for the third straight time, my Cognitive Examination, something which no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take.” According to Dr. Vin Gupta, Trump was boasting taking the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (or MoCA), which doctors use when they’re concerned a patient may have “age-related cognitive decline, so-called mild cognitive impairment or early stage dementia.”
“Maybe people are forgetting linear thinking. They lose their train of thought,” Gupta explained. “So we do something called a MoCA test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment tool, to to see is there issues with recall.” Gupta said the frequency Trump brags about passing cognitive tests suggests that the White House’s medical team is likely so concerned about Trump’s cognitive health that they’re administering far more than the standard number of tests given to a typical elderly patient.
Trump received Covid vaccine and flu shot during second physical of the year
October 10,2025
President Donald Trump received a Covid vaccine and flu shot during his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday, his physician said in a memo released by the White House.
“In preparation for upcoming international travel, President Trump also received preventive health screenings and immunizations, including annual influenza and updated COVID-19 booster vaccinations,” the president’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, wrote.
The president’s own CDC has shifted away from a broad recommendation for Covid-19 immunization; people who want one must now consult with a health care provider, a process known as shared clinical decision-making. However, a prescription is not necessarily needed.

‘I’m so lucky to be alive after collapsing on stage’
Dece. 28,2025
The Christians’ drummer has said he is “so lucky to be alive” after he collapsed on stage at a festival.
Lionel Duke had a cardiac arrest during the On The Waterfront festival at Liverpool’s Pier Head in June.
Medics rushed on stage to help him as the Liverpool band performed ahead of Sting’s headline slot at the festival. He had to be put in an induced coma in intensive care.
The 58-year-old told the BBC: “Everyone thought I was going to die. I’m still in shock about what happened but I feel blessed I’m still here.”
The band – who had a Top 10 hit in 1988 with their cover of the Isley Brothers’ Harvest For The World – had only played two songs before Lionel fell ill.
The concert was halted as he was taken to hospital.
The father-of-two said: “Fortunately for me, I was in the right place at the right time.
“Everyone thought I was going to die. They were working on me for 12 minutes.
“An off-duty nurse stated that I wasn’t going to make it. I think now how lucky I was.”
He added: “I still get emotional thinking about what happened.
“It’s a lot to take in. I feel so lucky to be alive.”
