German health minister shocks viewers with stats on damage done by COVID shots: 1 in 10,000

Germany’s federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach shocked viewers by confirming that 1 in 10,000 recipients of the COVID shot have suffered an adverse event.

In a March 13th live interview with 2DF’s Heute Journal anchor Christian Sievers, Lauterbach used the “1 in 10,000” statistic three separate times. (Astra Zeneca’s vaccine was pulled from the market when it was found to have approximately a 1 in 55,000 rate of adverse events.)

Sievers distinguished himself by asking hard questions and pressing for answers of Lauterbach, who pointed out that he was not party to the agreement negotiated when the German government purchased the vaccines. He says he hopes to find an improved solution for vaccine-injured Germans now.

Rideshare firms win right to ignore minimum wage, overtime, worker compensation laws in US

Despite many worker groups opposing the measure for denying them nearly all employee rights, including sick leave, a Californian district court of appeal ruled that the labour proposal known as Proposition 22 was largely constitutional, Haill wrote on March 13th.  This overturned a decision by another California court last year that the initiative violated the state’s constitution.

The climate con is reaching epidemic proportions

The climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years and it will keep on changing for the next 4.5 billion years. Climate change is not going away. And if you think a bunch of politicians who can’t run a passport office, or prevent raw sewage from flowing into Lake Ontario for decades, have the ability to control the climate, then you’re really not very bright.

Another thing that isn’t going away is the Climate Change con. In fact, it’s escalating. If we, the people, don’t start pushing back on this monumental scam NOW, it may soon be too late. Ignore the BS in the Junk News media that is obviously ratcheting up the false alarm, with the clear intention of making the taste of the open prison life we endured during the scamdemic lockdowns permanent.

Ottawa traffic a perfect storm of events and incompetence

Ottawa is in the throes of a perfect storm of events and incompetence which could only be achieved by all levels of government working in tandem.

Thousands of workers who once took public transit to work have abandoned it in frustration. According to the public servant who shared this incredible story (with a request for anonymity), they have ironically reverted to driving their carbon-spewing cars to get to their desks, where they then cannot do their jobs.

Ontario claims it never mandated COVID shots while Canada quietly backs down on boosters

Now starts the COVID gaslighting: hold onto your sanity, citizens. Governments want you to understand that everything you believed they were telling you about COVID shots and mandates for the past three years is wrong. You heard it wrong. You understood it wrong. You are misremembering things.
