Dr. Paul Offit has argued that scientific questions should be resolved in peer-reviewed venues rather than on debate stages. In principle, I agree.

In practice, however, the public has no direct way to evaluate whether the conclusions of influential COVID-19 vaccine papers are actually supported by the underlying data and methods.

For that reason, I’m proposing a structured, public, evidence-bounded discussion focused exclusively on the published literature addressing one narrow question:

Did the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines show a clear net mortality benefit based on the studies available in the peer-reviewed literature?

Duration: 60 minutes

Scope: Peer-reviewed papers only

Preparation: Each participant submits up to three papers in advance; the reference list is shared publicly at least 14 days before the discussion

Structure:

• Brief presentation of each paper’s claims and methods

• Focused discussion of assumptions, bias, and interpretation

• No appeals to authority, intent, or policy—only what the papers actually demonstrate

• Equal talk time for both sides

The goal is not to “win” a debate, but to allow a technically literate audience to see—clearly and transparently—how different experts interpret the same published evidence.

To acknowledge the time commitment, I will make a substantial donation to a charitable organization of Dr. Offit’s choosing. The discussion, transcript, and referenced materials will be made publicly available in full.

If Dr. Offit would prefer not to participate in a direct discussion with me, I am equally open to having the discussion with another academic expert of his choosing, provided the discussion follows the same evidence-bounded format.

Given the importance of this topic to public trust in medicine, I believe a careful, transparent examination of the published literature—conducted in the open—would be of real value.

NOTE: Thank you for supporting this sponsored interview, which keeps this website running to bring you uncensored news.

In 2008, the financial system cracked. Home values collapsed. Retirement accounts were cut in half. Millions of Americans lost jobs, savings, and years of financial progress almost overnight. Families who did everything “right” were told to hang on, tighten their belts, and wait it out.

Meanwhile, something very different happened at the top.

Large financial institutions were rescued with taxpayer-backed bailouts. Cheap money flooded the system. Assets were scooped up at fire-sale prices. Those with access to capital were able to buy stocks, real estate, and businesses at historic discounts, setting the stage for one of the largest wealth transfers in modern history.

The truth is, the wealthy don’t fear crashes; they salivate over them. And that same dynamic is quietly taking shape again.

Inflation is eroding purchasing power just as it did in the years after 2008. Debt levels are higher. Banks are more interconnected. And retirement systems that depend on perpetual stability are showing visible strain.

Once again, those with capital are not waiting for certainty. They’re preparing to get ahead of the next shock and are reallocating into assets designed to survive monetary stress, including cryptocurrency.

Joining us today is Jonathan Rose, CEO of BlockTrustIRA, to explain how Americans can access strategies once limited to the ultra-wealthy, and what history shows about crashes—before the pain of 2008 repeats itself.

The interview opened with a hard truth: while most Americans are bracing for the next financial crash, the wealthy are getting ready to take advantage of it.

“They don’t panic in downturns,” Jonathan Rose explained. “They buy quality assets at discounted rates.” Crashes, he said, don’t create wealth—they transfer it from the unprepared to those who know what to look for.

And what the wealthy look for is consistency. “Assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum… come back stronger than ever,” he said. That’s why these assets matter, especially during uncertain times.

With tools like Animus AI now in the hands of regular investors, Rose believes everyday people finally have a way to level the playing field, and stop getting left behind.

When the conversation turned to volatility, Rose broke down what most people get wrong.

While the average investor sees volatility as a red flag, the wealthy see it as a green light. “Volatility creates mispricing,” he said. “And the smart investors know how to exploit it.”

In crypto, where the market never sleeps, volatility is constant—and that’s exactly what Animus AI is built to harness. By scanning millions of data points in real time, the system doesn’t just survive during chaos; it thrives in it.

Rose compared outcomes: investors using a traditional buy-and-hold strategy might be down 3%, while those using Animus AI are up 27%. No leverage. No lockups. Just a smarter, faster approach to a fast-moving market.

So how does the AI actually pull that off?

“People are probably thinking, how are you up 27% if Bitcoin is down 3%?” Rose said. The answer comes down to timing—powered by data.

Animus AI constantly analyzes price movements, technical indicators, macro trends, and sentiment from around the world. The result is a system that can act in real time—far beyond what any human can keep up with.

Rose said even he no longer tries to trade manually. “The AI is much smarter than me,” he admitted.

It’s almost like a lifeguard on a beach, he explained—staying alert, spotting risk, and keeping investors safe from market riptides.

#ad: Every major financial crash follows a similar script.

Those with better tools use volatility to build wealth. Everyone else is told to wait and hope.

For decades, strategies like this were limited to hedge funds and billionaires. Now, everyday Americans can access them through a crypto IRA powered by Animus AI.

The system runs 24/7, scanning markets and responding in real time, designed to thrive in volatility instead of fearing it.

From there, the conversation shifted to retirement, and Rose explained why traditional options like 401(k)s may not be as safe as people think.

He said the biggest issue is lack of control: “They’re exposed to the market, and you’re very limited in what they can be invested in.” You check a few boxes. You don’t know where your money’s going. And in a debt-driven, unstable economy, that’s a risky place to be.

Most Americans are told to be grateful for 6% returns. But Rose was clear: “This isn’t how middle Americans are able to grow their wealth.”

He pointed to Trump’s push to allow crypto inside retirement accounts and explained how BlockTrust IRA is giving people the tools to do it safely—with the guardrails in place to navigate volatility without wiping out.

Maria posed a straightforward question: if gold is trusted because it’s scarce and can’t be printed, doesn’t Bitcoin offer the same kind of protection?

Rose said yes—and then took it further. “Gold has physical scarcity. Bitcoin has mathematical scarcity,” he explained. With only 21 million coins ever to exist, it’s immune to inflation by design.

Then he turned to the dollar. “We’re $38 trillion in debt,” he warned. And as of December 4, “quantitative tightening ended”—which means the Fed has gone back to printing money.

That constant cycle of borrowing and printing, he explained, is steadily draining the dollar’s strength. And while most Americans are unaware, major institutions—and even the U.S. Treasury—are already making the shift.

Bitcoin can’t be inflated. It can’t be manipulated. It’s decentralized, secure, and, as Rose put it, “It’s honest money.”

“Eventually the dollar is going to die off,” he added bluntly.

The final minutes of the interview brought everything into focus: this is the moment to act.

According to Rose, the biggest transfer of wealth in modern history is happening right now—and most people don’t even realize it.

Institutions that once mocked Bitcoin are now launching ETFs. Trump is calling for the U.S. to lead the world in crypto. And for the first time, everyday Americans can access the exact same trades hedge funds have used for years.

“This is the biggest wealth transfer that’s currently underway,” he explained. “The same trades that hedge funds are doing—we’re able to bring down for people like you and me.”

Then Maria smiled and added, “Bitcoin is on sale for Christmas.”

#ad: When markets break, the biggest advantage isn’t luck. It’s access.

Institutions don’t wait and see. They move early, using tools designed to perform in volatile conditions.

Now, everyday Americans can access those same strategies through a self-directed crypto IRA powered by Animus AI.

Best of all, no trading experience is required. Animus AI and crypto experts do the heavy lifting.

A change to the currently mild weather pattern is being heralded by meteorologists, as a barometric low from the Gulf of Sirte is expected to bring showers and a drop in temperature over the weekend, while the possibility of successive bad weather until the first days of the New Year.

Bad weather after days of “atmospheric blockage”

As meteorologist Klearhos Marousakis explains, in recent days the country has been under the influence of a strong field of high barometric pressure, which has been acting as an “atmospheric mountain”, preventing the arrival of organized bad weather. This scene is changing, as a barometric low from the Gulf of Sirte is coming to “unlock” the door for the entry of successive bad weather systems, with flares and depressions that may persist even into the beginning of the New Year.

Where will the phenomena be most intense this weekend

The bad weather that will occupy the country at the weekend is expected to affect mainly the eastern and southern parts, where the most intense phenomena are predicted. On the contrary, in the west and north, the high pressure field will act as an inhibitor, limiting the development of strong or dangerous weather phenomena.

According to Marousakis, the system will also be accompanied by a low-intensity cold invasion, which will lead to a decrease in temperature and possible snowfall in mountainous areas and at high altitudes.

Fixed temperatures until Christmas – Uncertainty on rain

For his part, meteorologist Thodoris Kolydas notes that until Christmas no significant deviations in the temperature field are apparent, with values moving close to normal for the season, with no signs of extremes. The winds show a similar picture.

The main point of uncertainty relates to precipitation, as forecast models differ on the location and exact track of a surface low in the central Mediterranean. As he points out, even small shifts in the system are capable of significantly affecting both the intensity and the geographical distribution of events in our country. The models show better agreement until 23 December, while after that the forecast remains uncertain.

“Christmas with weather twists and turns”

Meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafyllias speaks of “Christmas with weather twists and turns”, noting that, despite the increased public interest, scientific forecasting has specific limits and does not yet allow safe conclusions.

According to his initial assessment, a few showers are expected from Saturday, December 20 to Monday, December 22, mainly in the central and southern regions, and a slight drop in temperature. On Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 December, the temperature is not expected to show any significant change, but more rain is forecast in the west, north and eastern Aegean, with stronger southerly winds and snowfall in ski resorts. On Christmas Day, the scenery seems to include a few showers in the central and southern regions, with the temperature remaining at the same level, while from Friday, December 26 until New Year’s Day, a trend towards colder weather conditions is evident.

 

Today’s weather

Good weather conditions will prevail across the country with sunshine and some clouds. Slightly increased clouds will be in the eastern mainland and in Crete. In the morning and evening hours, visibility will be limited in many areas and fog will form, locally dense. Frost will occur in the morning in the northern continents.

The temperature will range in Western Macedonia from -4 to 11 degrees Celsius, in the rest of Macedonia and Thrace from -2 to 12-14 degrees Celsius, in Thessaly from 0 to 14-16 degrees, in Epirus from 2 to 14-16 degrees, in the rest of the continent from 2 to 16-18 degrees Celsius, in the Ionian Islands from 7 to 16-17 degrees Celsius, and in the Aegean Islands and Crete from 7 to 16-18 degrees Celsius.

In the Aegean Sea the winds will blow north with intensities of 3-4 and locally 5 Beaufort. In the Ionian Sea, winds will blow from the east with intensities not exceeding 3 Beaufort.

In the prefecture of Attica and in the city of Athens we expect thin clouds. At night and early in the morning the visibility will be limited and fogs are likely to form. Winds will blow north northeast with intensities of 2-3 Beaufort. The temperature will range from 8 to 16-17 degrees Celsius.

In Thessaloniki we expect thin clouds. At night and early in the morning the visibility will be limited and fog is likely to form. Winds will be light. The temperature will range from 5 to 13-14 degrees Celsius.

The weather on Friday, December 19

Generally clear weather, with occasional local clouds increasing from the evening hours in the west and south. Visibility will be locally limited in the morning and at night and mainly in the continental areas fog will form in places.

Winds in the Ionian and continental areas will be variable, light and in the Aegean Sea will blow from northern directions 3 to 4 Beaufort.

The temperature will not change significantly. It will reach in the north 12 to 15 degrees Celsius, in the rest of the regions 15 to 18 and locally in the south 19 degrees Celsius.

The weather on Saturday, December 20

Thin clouds that will gradually thicken from the west and there will be local showers mainly in the southwest, with isolated thunderstorms possible from the evening. Visibility in the morning hours will be locally limited mainly on the mainland.

Winds will blow east northeast 3 to 5 and gradually locally 6 Beaufort.

The temperature will drop slightly in the central and northern regions.

The weather on Sunday, December 21

In the central and southern mainland as well as in the southern islands cloudy with local showers and occasional thunderstorms. From the afternoon onwards, a decrease in phenomena is expected. In the remaining areas, unstable weather with local rain and isolated thunderstorms. Occasional snowfall will occur in the northwestern mountains.

The winds will blow east northeast 5 to 6 and in the sea occasionally locally 7 Beaufort.

The temperature will drop slightly further.

The weather on Monday, December 22

Unsettled weather with local showers and isolated thunderstorms. Occasional snowfall will occur in the mountains of the mainland.

Winds will blow east northeast 3 to 5 and in the northern Aegean Sea locally 6 Beaufort. From the afternoon in the Ionian Sea southeastern winds of 4 to 5 Beaufort will prevail.

The temperature will not change significantly.

Florida is in the process of making all vaccines optional. Experts say this is the end of the world if that happens.

So I thought I’d ask the question as to whether every country in the world has vaccine mandates.

The answer is no. There are many countries without any vaccine mandates. The result is better health outcomes.

Here is the full conversation.

Mandates are dumb. Florida is doing the right thing.

The average person takes about 20,000 breaths per day. We rarely think about it. Breathing stays in the background, but the quality of those breaths matters. In fact, one of the easiest ways to make your home—and yourself—healthier is by improving the air you breathe every day.

Air quality is rarely part of the health conversation, yet it plays a massive role in how we feel. We spend most of our lives indoors, and the air inside our homes is often far more polluted than the air outside.

According to the EPA, concentrations of many indoor air pollutants, especially volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are consistently 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors, and in some cases can be up to 100 times higher.

One of the biggest contributors to poor indoor air quality is something most of us use every single day: traditional cleaning supplies. Many of these products release VOCs into the air while you clean and continue off-gassing long after you’re done. Even when the smell fades, the chemicals often remain suspended in the air or settled on surfaces.

And “natural” or “green” labels are not much better. Many of those products still contain fragrances, preservatives, or solvents that can irritate the lungs, disrupt hormones, or contribute to long-term health issues.

Recently, I was approached by the great Dr. Robert Malone to try a cleaning product that’s actually safe for the home — and completely natural. It’s called hypochlorous acid, or HOCl. If you’ve never heard of it before, get ready to have your eyes opened to a whole new world.

Hypochlorous acid is something your body already makes. White blood cells naturally produce HOCl to kill harmful bacteria and microbes when you get a cut or injury. It’s part of your immune system’s first line of defense.

“HOCl is… highly effective due to its ability to penetrate cell walls and oxidize proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, resulting in the rapid inactivation of pathogens. HOCl is 100 times more effective than hypochlorite bleach at equivalent chlorine concentrations due to its optimized pH and stability.”

Source: curativabay.com

After using HOCl for about a month and a half, it quickly replaced nearly every cleaning product in my house (except for the vinegar I use on windows). I’m already more than halfway through my supply and will need to order another gallon soon.

Hypochlorous acid is incredibly versatile. It can be used to clean and disinfect household surfaces, spray on cuts, disinfect baby toys, wash produce, and eliminate odors. It is a powerful disinfectant and deodorizer, yet gentle enough to be considered hypoallergenic.

It’s antimicrobial and antibacterial, and it works without filling your home with harsh fumes or strong chemical scents.

What surprised me most is that hypochlorous acid isn’t just a cleaner; it also belongs in a first aid kit.

“HOCL is FDA-cleared for wound care and high-level disinfection of medical devices. In hospitals, it can be fogged into operating rooms and ICUs for complete decontamination without leaving harmful residues. Its wound healing properties reduce inflammation, accelerate tissue regeneration, and disrupt biofilms that hinder recovery. HOCl is also an essential tool in dermatology, treating conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea safely and effectively.”

And look how quickly HOCl kills common microbes:

• Kills staph in 30 seconds

• Kills E. coli in 30 seconds

• Kills Salmonella in under a minute

• Kills Candida in 30 seconds

• Kills poliovirus in 30 seconds

And the list goes on. It can even eliminate mold.

As I briefly mentioned earlier, I’ve been using Curativa Bay’s HOCl products for about a month and a half now, and I’m completely sold. It’s one of the simplest swaps I’ve made, and it had an immediate impact on how my home feels, smells, and functions day to day.

I appreciate this brand for its high-quality standards and because it’s made in the USA. It’s headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and is backed and supported by Dr. Robert Malone.

If you’re interested in trying HOCl for yourself, I recommend getting started with the quart-sized spray bottle and watching it tackle almost anything you throw at it.

If you like it, you can move on to a gallon purchase for a better deal, or explore more specialized uses of HOCl, such as skin care. It also makes a great Christmas gift.

If you want to make one simple, non-toxic upgrade that actually improves your home health, this is it. Vigilant Fox readers can get 25% off any HOCl product at curativabay.com with code VIGILANT.

Strasbourg – the Christmas capital for France, but also the seat of the European Parliament, may be decked out and one of the lowest crime areas in the hexagon and Europe, but that in no way means that extremes don’t happen and even “imported” ones. Yesterday, -16 December, at 23.00, a group of the Greek delegation of journalists covering the plenary session was confronted with an extreme situation of multi-layered violence.

Nikos Pappas, a Syriza MEP, was in a restaurant bar in the city’s main square alongside the Greek journalists, but not in the same company. Two of the group decided the evening was over and waved goodbye and headed for the exit of the venue. The MEP stood up and asked the journalist to speak, shouting that he had run him over and did not apologise. The journalist, clearly surprised, told the MEP that he never touched him and that he had attempted to trip him to the ground.

Pappas then followed the two journalists towards the exit. In the exit hallway, he grabbed the journalist by the neck, being behind him, and repeatedly struck him. The journalist who was attacked fell to the floor unable to react in the face of the former basketball player’s nearly 6 feet and body structure.

The two journalists in absolute shock shaking went back into the restaurant and addressed the others. The group of journalists left the area in which they met the MEP in a furious state attempting to attack the journalist again. The threats were followed by something even more extreme: “I hit you because look at you”. it became absolutely clear that the MEP had absolutely no intention of hiding behind ‘excuses’. He had confessed to the violent attack and insisted that it was only the beginning… after 20 minutes of ‘business’ the MEP left the scene saying ‘I apologise to you for the tension’ and the journalist returned to his hotel in a state of absolute shock.

The journalist says that an hour later Nikos Papas sent him apology messages and called him by phone only that too he seems to regret it as he deleted them minutes later (photo). The next day the journalist and most of the members of the Greek delegation saw Nikos Pappas coming down to the lobby of the hotel – he is staying in the same hotel – and sitting at the same table with his victim… “Good morning, everything okay?” was the first thing he said as he comfortably sat down for breakfast… the Greek journalist asked him to leave with Papa remarking “I can’t have coffee at my hotel?:

The victim of the attack, who was for hours in shock at what he suffered physically and verbally, claims that he has received threatening messages from Pappas in the past during the period when the latter was an athlete and not part of the elected representatives of our country in Europe.

The journalist, accompanied by the rest of the journalist team in Strasbourg, filed a complaint at the headquarters of the French police department in the city for more than an hour and the procedure of self-incrimination was initiated as the assault and the manual assault are not included in the provisions of the immunity for MEPs. See the full text of the complaint:

The head of the SYRIZA Eurogroup, Kostas Arvanitis, while the President of SYRIZA said a few minutes ago that he was unaware of what had happened.
