CDC Shooter Blamed COVID Vaccine for Illness

8/8 - Multi-agency response to active shooter report, Emory College of Arts and Design, Atlanta Campus (Emory Point). Avoid the area. Monitoring..

 
What You Need To Know

On Friday afternoon, AlertsUSA subscribers were notified of an active shooter situation unfolding adjacent to the campus of Emory University in Atlanta, near the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In this incident, witnesses reported that the suspect approached the steps of a building on the CDC’s main campus, pulled at least one rifle from a backpack, and opened fire. The shooting lasted several minutes, with several CDC buildings and vehicles reported to have been hit. The suspect then fled into a nearby two-story building housing a CVS pharmacy and was eventually neutralized by police.

One officer was shot during the incident and later died at the hospital. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation on Saturday identified the gunman as 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White, of Kennesaw, Georgia.

CNN reports that after speaking with the alleged shooter's family, police suspect White intentionally targeted the CDC, possibly motivated by a belief that he suffered injuries from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Given this development, AlertsUSA ever so carefully cautions doctors, clinicians, employers who mandated the vaccines, pharmaceutical company employees, and all others who pushed, and even forced, the vaccines on the populace, it behooves you to become more security conscious. Millions of people have been negatively impacted by the vaccines, and an untold number have died. That translates to many angry people. People who were repeatedly told the vaccines were safe and effective. People whose lives and families have been devastated.

HHS Pulls mRNA Research Funding

Public anger may grow when people learn of the reasoning behind this week's action by HHS Secretary Kennedy to terminate 22 different mRNA vaccine development investments under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.

According to Dr. Steven Hatfill, a senior adviser to HHS and the Chief Medical Officer for the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, researchers detirmined that "it was more dangerous to take the vaccine than it was to contract COVID-19 and be hospitalized."

The following is a quote of Dr. Hatfill during an appearance on Thursday's edition of Steve Bannon's War Room podcast:

"What happened is that the data had accumulated to the point where meta-analysis studies could be done. These are very comprehensive analysis and it virtually came back, consistently, that there was no benefit to risk ratio for taking a messenger RNA vaccine. In fact, it was more dangerous to take a vaccine than it was to contract COVID-19 and be hospitalized with it.

"This is in 2022 that this data started to come out. The side effects for this essentially gene therapy was so enormous and progressive it was difficult to fathom. And then finally, a few months ago, some of the detailed biochemistry studies started to appear in the literature.

"This sudden flood of messenger RNA, it appears irrespective of what the messenger RNA insert is coding for, just the sheer amount of number of millions of molecules of messenger RNA entering the cell is creating biochemical havoc.

It's disrupting protein metabolism. It's interfering with tumor suppressor genes. It's damaging the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell."

Equally disturbing is the revelation that Pfizer wanted a 75-year moratorium on the clinical trial data, "which from the start showed these never prevented infection or disease transmission.” Hatfill added, “There’s no good clinical data to ever show it reduced the severity of disease.”

Is Warfare Becoming More Performative?

In the span of three weeks this June, the world witnessed three extraordinary military operations: Ukraine’s decimation of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet, Israel’s sweeping overnight key leader and air defense neutralization in Iran, and America’s ultra long-range bunker busting of Fordo and other Iranian nuclear sites.

What distinguishes the June operations is their post-operation communications methodology. Like the “shock and awe” of the 2003 Iraq War or CNN’s coverage of the first Gulf War, the June operations captured global attention using novel tools — social media, real-time distribution, and comprehensive disclosure.

Damage to Iran’s Nuclear Program—Can It Rebuild?

Recent satellite imagery provides a more realistic picture of the extent of the damage from the Israeli and U.S. strikes. It also provides insights into Iran’s initial efforts to rebuild its nuclear program and can help identify potential pathways for developing a covert nuclear weapons program, including establishing a third site to process a stockpile of 400 kilograms (kg) of highly enriched uranium (HEU).

Implications of Chinese Nuclear Weapons Modernization

Based on current trends, China will become a quantitative and qualitative nuclear weapons peer of the United States by the early to mid-2030s with a diversified, accurate, and survivable force that will rival America’s. Rather than having only high-yield nuclear missiles as a strategic deterrent against nuclear attack, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is developing a range of strategic and tactical nuclear weapons, the latter being lower-yield weapons usable in a conflict theater.
