My Dearest Fedizens! I want to encourage you all to go get your fall vaccinations. I just got my COVID-19 vaccine last Saturday, and I’ll be getting my Flu shot this Saturday. These are easy to do, and could save your life, or at least save you a lot of misery. If you qualify for other vaccines like RSV or Pneumonia, get them too. If you have questions, talk to a medical professional about them.

💉 An investigative article by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist suggests that US officials suppressed warnings over a flawed COVID-19 vaccine safety algorithm. The reporter says officials relied on a single, compromised algorithm to detect harm from mRNA vaccines, were aware it was flawed, and silenced efforts to fix it. The findings are based on government emails and interviews with public health officials and other scientists. This relates to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which assured doctors and the public that its Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) would spot any harmful reactions to the vaccines. Instead of using two different algorithms as originally planned, the agency used just one, provided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The investigation found this algorithm failed to detect a link between mRNA vaccination and heart issues, including myocarditis and pericarditis, as well as a range of other disorders, because it simply didn't work properly. Internal records show FDA and CDC officials were aware of this. The CDC finally ran the second algorithm available to them in 2022, and claimed it made no difference, but the reporter says it actually revealed hundreds of adverse events that the agency had missed.

Trump reduce de 18 a 11 las enfermedades incluidas en la vacunación infantil recomendada en EU

Trump reduce las vacunas infantiles recomendadas en EE.UU. en medio de las críticas de un senador republicano

SN Redacción | EFE

Washington.- El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, firmó este lunes una orden ejecutiva que reduce de 18 a 11 las enfermedades contra las que el Gobierno federal recomienda vacunar a todos los niños y establece nuevas categorías para otras inmunizaciones.

La medida, impulsada junto al secretario de Salud, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., deja vacunas contra la gripe, la covid-19, la hepatitis A y B, el rotavirus y la meningitis bajo criterios de riesgo o de decisión compartida entre padres y médicos, mientras ordena revisar el calendario federal de vacunación infantil.

La Casa Blanca presentó la medida como un paso para establecer un calendario infantil de vacunación de «estándar de oro», mientras Trump vinculó durante la firma la revisión con el aumento del autismo y cuestionó la seguridad de la vacuna triple vírica, pese a décadas de investigaciones que no han encontrado una relación causal entre las vacunas y el autismo.

Expertos en salud pública han advertido además de un posible repunte de enfermedades prevenibles mediante vacunación, en un año en el que Estados Unidos ya ha registrado su mayor número de casos de sarampión en décadas.

Las críticas republicanas a la medida de Trump

La decisión fue criticada por el senador republicano Bill Cassidy, médico de profesión y quien dejará el Senado el próximo año tras perder las primarias de su partido, quien afirmó que Trump carece de la experiencia necesaria para realizar esos cambios y defendió la seguridad y eficacia de las vacunas.

Cassidy también rechazó las afirmaciones sobre una relación entre las vacunas y el autismo, y advirtió que separar la vacuna triple vírica contra el sarampión, las paperas y la rubéola en tres inyecciones individuales puede hacer que los niños reciban más pinchazos y aumentar las dudas de los padres sobre la vacunación.

La orden encarga además al Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos presentar en un plazo de 90 días propuestas para revisar el calendario de vacunación infantil, desarrollar alternativas a los adyuvantes de aluminio y reforzar la investigación sobre la seguridad de las vacunas.

Trump afirmó durante la firma que «nada malo puede pasar» con la revisión de las recomendaciones, mientras que la orden instruye al Gobierno a estudiar también posibles cambios en las políticas estatales relacionadas con los requisitos de vacunación para asistir a las escuelas. –sn–

The Church’s Political Captivity

The COVID-19 pandemic was ruthless on pastors. Every single decision felt like a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. You got in trouble if you kept your church open, and you got in trouble if you closed it. You got in trouble if you required people to wear masks, and you got in trouble if you didn’t. Every word of our communications had to be carefully crafted to avoid offending others. We worked our butts off creating online services that nobody really cared about or watched.

But even more difficult than this was the social and political tensions we had to address during that chaotic season. Christians became anti-science and conspiratorial. Instead of advocating for justice and caring for minorities, many in the church fought against such efforts. Instead of calling out political nonsense, the church seemed to defend it or support it.

At the start of the pandemic, many pastors were taking a stand on these issues, but in the end, there seemed to be only a few. Too many of them had been crucified by their congregants early on for speaking out. They were walking on eggshells.

I started hearing a very similar testimony among pastors during that time. They each shared that they once made an online post, and their social networks blew up. At first, they were stunned by the comments, but after enough arguments, they decided that talking was pointless. “People never change their minds online,” they’d say. Or “ I don’t want to sow disunity in the church.” Or “Frank and Mary came after me, and they’re the greatest Christians I know! So maybe I shouldn’t speak.” Pastors used these kinds of logic to shut themselves up.

Many Christians have sacred idols they have not yet deconstructed, and it’s because pastors aren’t addressing the golden calf in the room. We all know the unspoken rule: American political issues are so deeply spiritual and important that pastors are not allowed to address them—unless the pastor shares the opinion of the majority of congregants. That is to say, pastors can generally say whatever they want politically, so long as it leans Republican or Conservative. 

The room is rigged, and it’s because pastors have spent the last several decades only making certain kinds of political statements, using certain kinds of political buzzwords, and addressing certain kinds of political issues. No one has to ask how the church leans, because these “certain kinds” of things have already made it clear. Pastors and congregants who stray from these views often stay quiet for their own protection, lest they be told that they’re not a Christian.

The church needs help. It is not meant to be defined by what a political party thinks, but by what Jesus thinks. And there is no way that any political party anywhere in the world has captured that.

We all know the unspoken rule: American political issues are so deeply spiritual and important that pastors are not allowed to address them—unless the pastor shares the opinion of the majority of congregants. That is to say, pastors can generally say whatever they want politically, so long as it leans Republican or Conservative. 

The room is rigged, and it’s because pastors have spent the last several decades only making certain kinds of political statements, using certain kinds of political buzzwords, and addressing certain kinds of political issues. No one has to ask how the church leans, because these “certain kinds” of things have already made it clear. Pastors and congregants who stray from these views often stay quiet for their own protection, lest they be told that they’re not a Christian.

The church needs help. It is not meant to be defined by what a political party thinks, but by what Jesus thinks. And there is no way that any political party anywhere in the world has captured that.

The Church’s Political Captivity

The COVID-19 pandemic was ruthless on pastors. Every single decision felt like a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. You got in trouble if you kept your church open, and you got in trouble if you closed it. You got in trouble if you required people to wear masks, and you got in trouble if you didn’t. Every word of our communications had to be carefully crafted to avoid offending others. We worked our butts off creating online services that nobody really cared about or watched.

But even more difficult than this was the social and political tensions we had to address during that chaotic season. Christians became anti-science and conspiratorial. Instead of advocating for justice and caring for minorities, many in the church fought against such efforts. Instead of calling out political nonsense, the church seemed to defend it or support it.

At the start of the pandemic, many pastors were taking a stand on these issues, but in the end, there seemed to be only a few. Too many of them had been crucified by their congregants early on for speaking out. They were walking on eggshells.

I started hearing a very similar testimony among pastors during that time. They each shared that they once made an online post, and their social networks blew up. At first, they were stunned by the comments, but after enough arguments, they decided that talking was pointless. “People never change their minds online,” they’d say. Or “ I don’t want to sow disunity in the church.” Or “Frank and Mary came after me, and they’re the greatest Christians I know! So maybe I shouldn’t speak.” Pastors used these kinds of logic to shut themselves up.
