Mike Rinder, 69, passed a year-and-a-half removed from his advanced esophageal cancer diagnosis, and shortly after sharing a photo with his wife and two kids over Christmas.

In a heartfelt post showing the family during better days, Collbran paid tribute to the father-of-two, who cohosted the Emmy-winning docuseries Scientology and the Aftermath with Leah Remini.

Researcher’s Note - United States Air Force Academy Coronavirus Updates: On August 30, 2021, the United States Air Force Academy held a vaccination [sic] point of distribution for cadets to receive the COVID-19 vaccine [sic] in line with the guidance from the Secretary of Defense. Department of Defense guidance is that only vaccines fully licensed by the FDA are mandated for service members. Currently, no administrative or disciplinary actions will be taken against cadets who do not receive the vaccine [sic]. Service-level policies, when released, determine what, if any, actions will be taken. The Secretary of Defense has indicated that the health and well-being of our Department of Defense personnel are a readiness issue. Military personnel protect the nation from great threats and they should be protected themselves as much as possible from COVID-19. As the Department does with other deadly infections, we protect the force through the best tool available, vaccination [sic]. Required vaccinations to protect the force are routine for the DoD, including the annual influenza vaccination. The DoD currently requires at least nine vaccines for individuals entering military service and up to 17 vaccines depending on the Service member’s role and geographic region. The COVID-19 vaccine [sic] has been available voluntarily to the United States Air Force Academy population since January 2021. The COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to be safe and effective [sic], which is why senior leadership across the institution encourages all members to get vaccinated [sic] to protect themselves and others. As we progress into 2022, the new COVID-19 variants will require continued diligence. COVID-19 vaccines [sic] are highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death [sic]; but to maintain robust efficacy vaccines [sic] require a booster. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommend a booster shot five months after receiving the Pfizer vaccine [sic], six months after the Moderna vaccine [sic], or two months after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine [sic].Staunch advocate for Charlotte cycling-friendly infrastructure dies at 29

December 19, 2024
Anna “Anoush” Mardjanian, a brilliant ethnobiologist and linguist, a talented fiber artist with a keen eye for beauty, and one of the funniest people you’d ever meet, passed away far too soon at 51. Born in Kyiv, she was proud of her Ukranian-Armenian Heritage, though educated in Moscow and multi-lingual speaking at least 5 languages fluently. She was a true Renaissance woman who always had at least ten projects going on at once, most of them quite unusual. Raising giant spiders and silkworms and knitting the silk, fermenting giant vats of vinegars and root vegetables in her home-lab-kitchen, fostering rescue animals and making sweaters from their shed fur, teaching homeschool science classes, foraging for mulberries and mushrooms, and belly dancing quite expertly, while always reading the most challenging scientific materials and articulately expounding on them, Anoush broke the mold and then some. A degreed linguist too, she spent the better part of her life in America living in Queens, New York, having moved to Florida only when her illness significantly worsened. She leaves behind her husband Roman, her teenaged daughter Halyna, and her mom Maria. Anoush was pursuing a third post-graduate degree in 2021 and felt she had no choice but to “hold her nose” as she put it and participate in the mandatory countermeasures in order to continue her educational pursuits. She fell ill shortly thereafter and treated her condition conventionally; she set up a cancer advocacy blog to help other women share their experiences and healing pursuits.

Researcher's note: What causes symptoms in MS? MS attacks the protective covering — myelin — of the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and often damaging the myelin in patches. When this happens, the usual flow of nerve impulses along nerve fibres (axons) is interrupted or distorted. The result may be the wide variety of MS symptoms, depending upon what part or parts of the central nervous system are affected. Not all people with MS will experience all symptoms and often the symptoms will improve during periods of remission. There are a variety of ways to manage symptoms, ranging from pharmacological treatments to non-medicinal strategies such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, exercise programs and alternative and complementary treatments. The following is a list of some of the more common MS symptoms.Edward George Jenner, 74, Link

Lucca, a newborn dies of fulminant meningitis. High fever on New Year's Eve, hospitalization until the tragic news Lucca, a newborn dies of fulminant meningitis. High fever on New Year's Eve, hospitalization until the tragic news
January 1, 2025
Pieve Fosciana (Lucca) - What seemed like a serious fever for the child's age, but manageable with drugs and hospital care, in the space of 24 hours overwhelmed a family and left a community in mourning. The hour of pain that took away all hope struck on New Year 's Eve at the Meyer pediatric hospital in Florence. Little Tommaso, just 4 months old, passed away from fulminant meningitis. The child had started to feel sick on Sunday 29th with a particularly high fever. A condition that worried the parents to the point of deciding that the situation could not be managed by them alone at home. Hence the decision to take the child to the hospital in Barga. The temperature continued to remain high, but with the administration of paracetamol a sign of recovery had arrived that had reassured the family. The fever lines had dropped. At that point Tommaso was sent home. Only that during the night the temperature started to rise again. The problem was that it was not a seasonal illness. So for the second time the parents brought him back to Barga, on Monday morning, where the health workers realized the seriousness of the case and decided to transfer him with the Pegaso helicopter to the Meyer hospital in Florence where the little boy arrived in desperate conditions. Until the tragic news of his death on the evening of December 30.
Researcher's note - A raised body temperature is your immune system's natural way to fight infection. So when a doctor prescribes paracetamol, it lowers your body temperature and therefore reduces your immune system's capacity to fight infection. Paracetamol depletes glutathione. FX Medicine "..there is a well established link between paracetamol toxicity and liver failure. Although hepatic failure and death are uncommon outcomes, paracetamol remains the most important, single cause of acute, severe and sudden onset of hepatic failure in western countries.[1] One of the mechanisms by which the overuse of paracetamol can cause acute liver failure is its ability to deplete the antioxidant glutathione. In the presence of paracetamol, the concentration of glutathione decreases by as much as 80-90%.[2] It is shown that once your liver uses more than 30% of your total store of glutathione, you are already in trouble with increasing hepatocyte destruction.[3] LinkDante Pittino, [67], heart attack on New Year's Eve: forestry entrepreneur dies.

Cuban Doctor Serving in Venezuela Passes Away from Heart Attack, Link
I constantly read that family members and friends are shocked and sadden when someone they love dies suddenly, but why do they never ask why/how did they die? Why are they not demanding answers, or at the very least, questioning when someone healthy, fit and young keels over suddenly? I do not like this new normal.
Thanks Mark. I see where senator Paul is calling for Fauci arrest.
