Although the crisis launched in Israel is more urgent than these now-all-too-familiar “vaccine” injuries, we can’t just drop the latter subject—especially since it may well be a purpose, if not the purpose, of the Hamas/Israel story to distract attention from (what an Israeli friend of mine has called) the “injection Holocaust” in Israel (and not just there).

Arkansas’ John Morgan III taken to hospital after scary on-field collapse
October 1, 2023
Arkansas experienced a scary moment in their 34-22 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday. In the fourth quarter, play was stopped after defensive lineman John Morgan collapsed after a play that, according to SEC Network broadcasters, did not involve much contact. Morgan, according to Texas A&M beat writer Travis L. Brown, took two steps and fell to the ground, and thus a cart was brought out to the field where medics tended to the senior’s aid. SEC Network broadcasters said Morgan was “blinking and talking” as he was loaded onto the cart and taken to the hospital. After the game, Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said Morgan was dealing with some soreness in his neck and the move to the hospital was “precautionary.” “He had movement everywhere,” Pittman said, per the Associated Press. “He was communicative. He visited with me, said ‘Coach, I’m fine.’ But he did have some soreness in his neck. So they took the precaution, which they should. … But he had movement everywhere and he’s at the doctor.”
Former Orioles pitcher makes positive strides in bout with cancer
September 30, 2023
Most, if not all Orioles fans would like to forget 2018 through 2021. You wouldn't be blamed for feeling this way, these were the dark years of Orioles baseball, with 100 losses expected as the team went through a full scale rebuild. One of the countless amount of pitchers used by the Orioles in those years was David Hess, a righty who served as both a starter and reliever for the Orioles. Hess had his MLB career interrupted by a cancer diagnosis, announced the cancer had returned back in May. Hess said the type of cancer was a "very rare and aggressive type of cancer called angiosarcoma." On Friday evening, Hess posted on social media that his third round of chemotherapy to battle the cancer was complete, a major step in his recovery. Hess said in his post that the next steps are a follow up scan in two weeks before he undergoes surgery in November to remove the tumor. After the 2021 season, Hess was diagnosed with a germ cell tumor. He was cleared to return to baseball in 2022, which he spent in the minor leagues.

October 8, 2023
Legendary U.S. gymnast McKayla Maroney has opened up about a difficult health situation.
Maroney, part of the legendary "Fierce Five" at the 2012 Summer Games, explained that she had a hellish summer, struggling with insomnia, among other issues.
"I slept a total of 10 days out of 3 months. I’d like to say it was a nightmare, but you have to sleep to have nightmares," she wrote.
"I went to tons of doctors, and I’ve only just begun to get to the root cause of this health spiral crisis lol. Thankfully I did finally find out I have ✨histamine intolerance✨which was causing a massive adrenaline problem for me — and when it got really bad, high histamine foods made me feel internally itchy, like I was getting bit by mosquitoes all night."

Arundel junior Ian Shank walked through cardiac arrest and grief. He came out finding a new outlet for his competitive drive
October 3, 2023
Ian Shank wasn’t supposed to be there at all. The Arundel junior had never held a golf club before a year ago. He’d been a three-sport athlete, grew up focusing on basketball before he started to show a genuine promise to make the next level in lacrosse. He also played football in the fall. But a week into his freshman spring season, his world changed. Shank laid in an intensive care unit, surviving a near-fatal cardiac arrest he suffered at home after lacrosse practice. Flash forward two years, through recovery and grief, and the young Wildcat stood on the greens at Fairway Hills Golf Club with one shot at qualifying for the county championship.
The cardiac arrest ended Shank’s three-sport career. He returned to Arundel a few weeks later but was heavily restricted from exercise that would raise his heart rate. Fall 2022 came and went and Shank still couldn’t get play. Then the winter. Then the spring. His physical health declined, as did his mental health. But Shank remained committed to healing. His mother, Bernadette, and his father, Bruce, pointed him toward a new road. Contact sports remained out of the question, but there was no threat of that on a golf course. Shank entered the 2023 fall season with no competitive experience but started averaging around 50 for nine holes and cut into Arundel’s top six midway through the fall.
“Happy ending” stories:
Minnehaha County Deputy earns his second life saving award
September 30, 2023
Sioux Falls, S.D. — A Minnehaha County Deputy Sheriff is being hailed as a hero tonight because he saved a man’s life. But as you’re about to find out, it’s not the first time he’s done that. Last night at the Cinch Playoffs Rodeo, Minnehaha County Deputy Damian Kardas, in his street clothes, was recognized for his heroics. Two months ago, Deputy Kardas was on patrol in Hartford. It was just like any other day, but this one was about to get scary. He got the call someone was having a heart attack in rural Hartford. “As they were dispatching it out to me; unconscious male, not breathing, not alert, so I knew something bad was going on, so I started hightailing it all the way up there,” Kardas said. When he arrived on scene he quickly grabbed his AED and shocked the man several times, but he also did three rounds of CPR. Time wasn’t on his side. “I think we were in that 20 to 25 minute mark, it wasn’t looking good,” Kardas said. Deputy Kardas says it was a situation where there was no time to think, he just had to trust his training. “You’re scared, but you know you have a job to do,” Kardas said. “When I heard they got a pulse back I was just blown out of the water,” Kardas said. The survivor didn’t want to do an interview for this story, but Deputy Kardas says he met him last night at the rodeo and said he was grateful and is doing great.

As if they'd done it many times before, three people who would become key players in saving Neubauer's life jumped into action, with two flexing training and instinct to revive him.

Dawn the survivor: A heart attack story
September 29, 2023
As Dawn Holy walked her dog Hazel up and down the hills near her home in Pullman, Washington, she took a deep breath and felt a sharp pain in her chest. The pain radiated up into her jaw and then down again into her arm, and there wasn’t a doubt in her mind as to what she was experiencing—a heart attack. She just wasn’t expecting to experience such a life-changing event in her early 50s. Holy had undergone some medical training years before, so she knew that when it comes to a heart attack, “time is muscle,” which means that with every passing minute, more heart muscle dies. She brought her dog home and went straight to the local emergency room, where she told the doctors what was going on. Then, she lost consciousness. That hospital didn’t have a heart catheterization lab—a specialized area used to perform tests and procedures to diagnose heart problems—so doctors there called Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Washington, home to the world-class Providence Heart Institute. Right away, her caregivers started talking with Providence cardiologist Brydan Curtis, D.O., F.A.C.C., who began instructing them on how they could best care for Holy as they were transferring her. As a result of that close collaboration, Dr. Curtis and his team were ready for Holy right when her Life Flight helicopter landed in Spokane, which is 75 miles away from her home in Pullman. Miraculously, Holy was able to make a full recovery from the heart attack. “I’m one of the blessed ones,” she said. “If Dr. Curtis and the heart catheterization team hadn’t been ready when I got off the helicopter, I might not be here right now.”

Battle Ground man who went into cardiac arrest gives heartfelt thanks for wife, first responders
September 27, 2023
Vancouver, WA - When Gretchen Ruff called 911 on the night of Aug. 25, the three short minutes it took for first responders to arrive at her Battle Ground home felt like a lifetime. Her husband, Brad Ruff, 58, was in cardiac arrest. At first, she thought he had fainted and would come to, but it didn’t take long for her to realize something serious was wrong. She checked his pulse and immediately began compressions. “As a nurse, it’s scary when it’s not your family member, but when it is, that’s terrifying,” said Gretchen Ruff, 51. “I was screaming and crying, and I felt his ribs break, but I knew I had to keep going.” When paramedics arrived, they took over on compressions, and after eight minutes of CPR, Brad Ruff was resuscitated. They rushed him to a local hospital. After 15 days there, he made a full recovery.
They saved her life': 13-year-old from Tracy survives cardiac arrest
September 27, 2023
Tracy, Calif. - A 13-year-old from Tracy is recovering in a hospital after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at school and her parents credit the quick work of the community in saving her life. Heather Freligh is an eighth grader at Art Freiler School where Friday her parents say she slumped over her desk, fell off her chair, hit the ground and started to turn blue. "It was really scary because we didn’t know anything," father Derek Ferligh said. She has no underlying medical conditions. She’s healthy and never even had a visit in the hospital for a decade." The teenager is an active and passionate basketball player both at school and with an area boys on a travel team. That’s partly why when she stopped breathing, it came as a huge surprise to her family and those at school. "It was pretty clear right away that we had a very serious situation on our hands," said Art Freiler School Principal Stephen Theall. "In a lot of ways students here are like my children." Theall said he cleared the classroom and another student called 911 before he tried to revive Heather until first responders arrived. Tracy Police School Resource Officer Alex Contreras was one of the first to show up and wasted no time administering CPR. "I have a 13-year-old son so it kind of hit home a little bit," he said. "We needed to do something ASAP." Paramedics soon jumped in and shocked Heather’s heart three times, said Ferligh who is also an Alameda County Sheriff’s deputy. "I know from my line of work seconds matter. They saved her life," he said. Heather was taken to a local Tracy hospital, then airlifted to UCSF Mark Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland and eventually transported to UCSF in San Francisco where she is still undergoing tests and treatment. What caused Heather’s condition is not known.
Dartmouth Health doctor helps save life of man who went into cardiac arrest at airport
September 26, 2023
Manchester, N.H. — A Florida man on Tuesday was able to thank the Dartmouth Health doctor who jumped into action earlier this month to save him when he went into cardiac arrest at a Salt Lake City airport. It was a team effort by Dr. Anant Shukla and other health care providers to save Peter Wall, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. "It was just a really coordinated effort from individuals who just really didn't know each other, and it was as if they had been working together for years," said Andrew Wall, Peter Wall's son. Shukla, an emergency medicine resident at Dartmouth Health, said he had a last-minute flight change, so he went into the lounge to grab some coffee. "When I heard someone scream out, 'Is there a doctor?'" Shukla said. Shukla and several others jumped into action and began CPR. The team included Josh Lane, a Utah nurse who had just missed his flight. "I happened to introduce myself and give him a quick, 'This is my background. Can I help?' and Dr. Shukla goes, 'I don't think we have a pulse,'" Lane said. "So, I instinctively just hopped in and started doing chest compressions." Shukla said things didn't look good. "We were just like, 'This is not going to be a good outcome,' just based off of how things look," he said. But the efforts of those at the airport worked, and Peter Wall is now almost completely recovered.

Off-duty firefighter uses new AED at Medford soccer field to save player's life
September 18, 2023
Medford, MA - An off-duty Hamilton firefighter is being hailed a hero, after going above the call of duty to save the life of a fellow soccer player on Sunday, September 17 at Medford High School. Firefighter Dane Jorgensen saved a man's life at what should have been an ordinary "New England Over-the-Hill" soccer league game. "That was pretty amazing to see the life come back. That will stay with me for a long time," said Jorgensen. Twenty minutes into the Wenham versus Kendall Wanderers game, the Kendall player collapsed on the field. He was suffering cardiac arrest. "When we got to him, he was still talking for a few seconds, he said he was woozy and then he was out, he was just out, it just really hits you pretty hard," said Johnny Kilpatrick, the Kendall Wanderers manager. But lucky several teams had automated external defibrillators or AEDs on hand. "His vitals were dropping and so immediately we called 911 and got the AED ready because we could see which way it was going," said Jorgensen. With one zap of the AED and CPR, the off-duty fire fighter and teammates brought him back to life. "It was really strong teamwork by everybody, so I'm really glad I did what I was trained to do. I'm proud of that," said Jorgensen.
I thought by summer of 2023 we would have our promised tribunals for crimes against humanity? Looks like the sheep just prefer living in willful ignorance. It's easier to deal with reality when you just stick your head up your a**.
Luckily I refused to take the clotshot even though my employer threatened to fire me. DeSantis came through at the last minute and made it painful for tyrannical employers to fire people in Florida.
I personally don't see people wake up to the point where anybody will be held accountable. It will be just business as usual. The cabal has been getting way with literal murder since the assassination of President Kennedy in the 60's. The normies had many opportunities to make things right since then, but they prefer to stay dumb.
Oh well, they won't get my sympathy for their ridiculous choices.
Mark, thank you so very much for keeping us informed of these grim & gruesome statistical realities. You are indispensable in this war of information, and now, all too often, of flesh & blood.
