Biden Touts Vaccines for Children, Yet 0.00%-0.02% of Child Coronavirus Cases Fatal

<p><strong>President Joe Biden is continuing to push mass vaccination for children, despite the fact that 0.00-0.02 percent of child coronavirus cases result in death.</strong></p>
<p>“The FDA has now authorized booster shots for children ages 12 to 15. Vaccinating our children is the best way to protect them from the Omicron variant,” Biden proclaimed on Friday:</p>

<p>Biden’s administration has, for weeks, continued to push parents to get their children vaccinated for the Chinese coronavirus. The Biden administration has even collaborated with Sesame Street as part of a greater effort to get vaccines on the radar of young children. Last year, Sesame Street characters participated in a CNN town hall meeting about the vaccines, and Biden took it upon himself to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/11/08/joe-biden-praises-big-bird-for-getting-coronavirus-vaccine/" target="_blank">praise</a> Big Bird on social media for getting the shot:</p>

Want to know how to save nature? Ask Indigenous scientists.

<p>Victor Manuel Hernandez believes he wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for a banana tree. As a 14-year-old resistance fighter during the civil war in 1970s El Salvador, he hid beneath the tree’s lush, green fronds when the military attacked his encampment. He’d been shot and a bomb fell directly overhead. But as he recalls, the bomb landed in the leaves of the banana tree, which he believes prevented it from igniting — shielding him from death.</p>
<p>After the attack ended, he mustered the strength to break off a branch from the tree, which he used as a crutch to walk into neighboring Guatemala to find help. “Nature not only protected me,” he recounts in <a href="https://bookshop.org/books/fresh-banana-leaves-healing-indigenous-landscapes-through-indigenous-science/9781623176051?gclid=CjwKCAiA5t-OBhByEiwAhR-hm-aHwwGfMM5gZ-zC23Tqa_9e8EgPLR8WAv54gKQ1FEWJo-LIlWh5nxoC-R4QAvD_BwE"><em>Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes Through Indigenous Science</em></a>, a new book written by his daughter Jessica Hernandez, a Maya Ch’orti and Binnizá-Zapotec Indigenous environmental scientist. “It saved my life.”</p>
<p>“Nature protects us as long as we protect nature,” writes Hernandez, who is now a 31-year-old postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Washington. “Ancestral knowledge has been sustained in our communities,” she added in an interview. “It’s a valid form of knowledge that isn’t necessarily validated through the Western ways, like publications and books.” This kind of knowledge forms the basis of Indigenous science, Hernandez says, that is crucial to caring for the Earth.</p>
<p>Indigenous peoples and local communities <a href="https://www.vox.com/22518592/indigenous-people-conserve-nature-icca">steward far more of the planet</a> than protected areas like national parks, and around <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/can-indigenous-land-stewardship-protect-biodiversity-">80 percent</a> of the diversity of species known to be living on Earth are found on lands owned or managed by these groups. That’s despite centuries of genocide, racism, and what Hernandez and other academics and activists refer to as settler colonialism — the intentional displacement and erasure of Indigenous peoples by outsiders.</p>
<p>“Conservation continues to teach scientists that scientific knowledge is more valuable than Indigenous knowledge,” Hernandez writes. This attitude ignores a staggering variety of insights in Indigenous communities, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/08/knowledge-of-medicinal-plants-at-risk-as-languages-die-out">from medicinal knowledge</a> of plants and animals in the Amazon to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20211128-can-indigenous-knowledge-save-the-reef">coral reef conservation in Australia</a> to the <a href="https://www.vox.com/22586851/indigenous-native-firefighters-western-wildfires-climate-change">prescribed burning practices</a> in the West.</p>
<p>I recently spoke with Hernandez about the potential for Indigenous science to shift how we think about — and carry out — conservation, and the work that Western conservationists need to do to address inequalities and discrimination in the field. Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.</p>
<h4>Sarah Sax</h4>
<p>When did you first realize the way you perceive your relationship with the environment was different from the dominant Western view?</p>
<h4>Jessica Hernandez</h4>
<p>As early as elementary school. When I would sit down with my parents, they would tell me stories about plants as though they were our relatives. We’re taught [in school] about the plant cycle, the water cycle, all these life cycles that never integrate humans into the picture. Look at the life cycle of a fish and you see the eggs all the way to an adult fish, but never the interconnections with humans. The way Western science is taught, even in K through 12, is that we’re still separated from nature and nature is its own thing.</p>
<h4>Sarah Sax</h4>
<p>As you point out early in the book, many Indigenous languages don’t have a word for conservation, and instead use words like “healing” or “caring.” How do those differences play out in practice?</p>
<h4>Jessica Hernandez</h4>
<p>When we look at conservation, we’re always trying to save one thing. We’re trying to save a tree, and then we’re missing the whole forest.</p>
<p>In reality, conservation should be more holistic. Often the reason why we have endangered species, and continue to see ecosystem loss, is that there’s so many driving factors that are destroying those landscapes. Conservation should start focusing on seeing the bigger picture, which is healing.</p>
<h4>Sarah Sax</h4>
<p>You talk about the difficulties of trying to incorporate Indigenous science in academia. What are some of the tensions that exist in having more Indigenous scholarship included in Western conservation science?</p>
<h4>Jessica Hernandez</h4>
<p>When you’re the first Indigenous person in certain areas [of study], you have to experience those things to start breaking those glass ceilings that are preventing Indigenous science from being integrated.</p>
<p>The history that is written about us is not necessarily from a positive lens. It’s from the anthropological lens. Anthropology can provide a positive lens, but anthropology back in the day was more like, “We’re studying these people who are uncivilized, who are kind of savages.” It carries that stereotype of the “ecological noble savage,” where Indigenous peoples are these mythical creatures in tune with nature — not necessarily people who hold knowledge or who can also adapt to their environments like we’re doing today.</p>
<h4>Sarah Sax</h4>
<p>You devote a chapter to the idea of “eco-colonialism” and how that’s created this sustained, negative impact on our environment. What does this term mean, and how does it connect to the ways in which Indigenous science has continued to be devalued?</p>

<h4>Jessica Hernandez</h4>
<p>We’re always focusing on the impacts settler colonialism has had on Indigenous peoples, but not necessarily on the impacts it also has had on our animal or plant species.</p>
<p>Look at the state of Washington and salmon. We know that tribes had to fight for their right to fish. [In a 1970s court case, <em>United States v. Washington</em>, Judge George Boldt <a href="https://guides.lib.uw.edu/law/indian-tribal/us-v-wash">ruled</a> that tribes were entitled to half of harvestable salmon under 19th-century treaties. The decision sparked a <a href="https://americanindian.si.edu/nk360/pnw-fish-wars/backlash">backlash</a> from non-Native fishers.] Eco-colonialism is forgetting to include that Indigenous science, or traditional ecological knowledge, that the Washington state tribes have to protect the salmon, and continuing to focus on the Western conservation lens that ignores the bigger picture.</p>
<p>What is actually impacting salmon from the holistic lens? [Western conservation scientists] are focusing on urbanization, which is one of the factors that impacts salmon, but we’re not focusing on how to mitigate those impacts. They are focusing on culverts [tunnels that drain water from one side of a road to the other and can be difficult for salmon to navigate], but we’re not necessarily focusing on things like ocean acidification and other toxins that are being released into the oceans.</p>
<p>The salmon is like a spiritual relative to the coastal tribes. It is a cultural keystone species as opposed to what recreational fishing teaches us: We catch fish to consume it, but we don’t really have that special connection or that <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/40316132">ceremony</a> to catch the fish. So in a way, eco-colonialism also kind of pits Indigenous fishermen against recreational fishermen.</p>
<h4>Sarah Sax</h4>
<p>How do you start to make room for taking Indigenous knowledge seriously and acting upon it, within the constraints that do exist in conservation science today?</p>
<h4>Jessica Hernandez</h4>
<p>Grappling with true history is a way that Western conservationists can start dismantling those layers. For instance, the <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/sierra-club-grapples-founder-john-muirs-racism-180975404/">Sierra Club is beginning to reckon</a> with the history on which it was founded. There’s a lot of anti-Blackness and racism embedded in it. [“For all the harms the Sierra Club has caused, and continues to cause, to Black people, Indigenous people, and other people of color, I am deeply sorry,” Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune <a href="https://www.sierraclub.org/michael-brune/2020/07/john-muir-early-history-sierra-club">wrote in a 2020 blog post</a> outlining the group’s racist roots.]</p>
<p>As Western conservationists start to understand the true history, which is sometimes uncomfortable because we’re part of a system that has this really harmful, violent history — especially against people of color and, in this case, Indigenous peoples — then we can start understanding what actions we can take.</p>
<h4>Sarah Sax</h4>
<p>Your book reminds me of <em>Braiding Sweetgrass</em> by Indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer, in that your own lived experience — and that of your community — is very present. Why is it important to include that when talking about Indigenous sciences and conservation?</p>
<h4>Jessica Hernandez</h4>
<p>When we look at how to do conservation or how to heal our environments, we tend to forget that Indigenous peoples have been adapting to all these changes. Our communities adapted to colonization. We are adapting to climate change because climate is already impacting our communities.</p>
<p>One of the things I wanted to include was the lived experiences from Indigenous peoples from different settler borders. Settler colonialism in the United States is different from the settler colonialism that’s embedded in Mexico or in Central America. We tend to forget that a lot of Indigenous peoples, even within the United States, are internally displaced from their reservations or to the cities. They also have to adapt their relationship with their environments.</p>
<p>I wanted to also share that banana trees are not native species to our lands [in the Americas]. I have been taught by elders that <a href="https://www.vox.com/down-to-earth/22796160/invasive-species-climate-change-range-shifting">invasive species</a> are displaced relatives in the sense that they have been displaced from their ancestral lands. But they’re still relatives because they still have a spirit.</p>
<h4>Sarah Sax</h4>
<p>How do you see Indigenous science fitting into bigger initiatives to heal the planet?</p>
<h4>Jessica Hernandez</h4>
<p>One of the things that I’m noticing is that the Biden-Harris administration is trying to incorporate traditional ecological knowledge within environmental policies. [In November 2021, President Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/11/15/fact-sheet-building-a-new-era-of-nation-to-nation-engagement/">issued a memorandum</a> that recognized Indigenous science and formed an interagency working group that aims to build on it.] Obviously, a presidential memorandum doesn’t have that much legal power. So hopefully that builds a discourse where it can be passed into bills through the Senate or through the House, and go through that judicial process so that it has more weight.</p>
<p>I’m also seeing more Native Americans or Indigenous people in this administration, like <a href="https://www.vox.com/2021/3/15/22309327/deb-haaland-interior-senate-vote-confirmed">Deb Haaland</a> as Secretary of Interior. And then we have the <a href="https://www.hcn.org/issues/53.11/indigenous-affairs-national-park-service-how-tribal-leaders-want-chuck-sams-to-lead-the-park-service">first Indigenous director of national parks</a> [Charles “Chuck” Sams III, a Umatilla leader].</p>
<p>One of the ways that we can start addressing the invalidation of Indigenous science is to integrate it in the curriculum. I was able to teach an introduction to climate science this past quarter and I also integrated Indigenous science. So students were not necessarily just learning Western science; they were also learning Indigenous science.</p>
<p>We talked about the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/24/native-american-women-missing-murdered-media">missing and murdered Indigenous women epidemic</a> that’s happening and how that’s <a href="https://ndncollective.org/memo-the-climate-and-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-and-relatives-crises/">connected to our environment</a>. We read case studies showing that when Indigenous women are <a href="https://climate-xchange.org/2020/07/21/to-solve-the-climate-crisis-women-must-own-more-of-the-worlds-land/">given a piece of land</a>, their whole community thrives more than when a man is given the land.</p>
<p>It’s like peeling those layers from the onion to get to the root cause. We are actually healing our landscapes, and healing ourselves as people.</p>

Rand Paul: ‘Is Fauci Advising Justice Sotomayor?’

<p><strong>Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) asked if Dr. Anthony Fauci is “advising” Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor after she touted falsehoods during oral arguments on Friday at the Supreme Court as justices weighed President Joe Biden’s coercive vaccine mandates.</strong></p>
<p>“We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, many on ventilators” from the coronavirus, Sotomayor <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/health/2022/01/07/fact-check-sotomayor-claims-100000-children-in-serious-condition-on-ventilators/">asserted</a> on Friday, raising eyebrows.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
<p>The liberal justice’s assertion is demonstrably false, as there are currently about 4,000 children in the hospital due to the coronavirus — far below the 100,000 figure <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/health/2022/01/07/fact-check-sotomayor-claims-100000-children-in-serious-condition-on-ventilators/">declared</a> by the justice during oral arguments at the Supreme Court.</p>

<p>The long-serving officer, who cannot be named as he is still in the forces, was among the scores of athletes who fell sick with a debilitating illness after attending the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019.</p>
<p>He said foreign competitors found the city of 11 million people ‘like a ghost town’, and so many cases of a mysterious virus afflicted the Canadian team that a quarantine section was set up on their military flight back home.</p>
<p>The officer, who is still suffering from the effects of his illness despite previous high levels of fitness, said a military-appointed doctor later said he almost certainly caught Covid.</p>
<p>His revelations fuel concerns the Chinese government covered up the outbreak – with devastating consequences. The Beijing regime says the first confirmed case was December 8, three weeks before the World Health Organisation was tipped off by sources in Taiwan.</p>
<p>Several European athletes attending the Games, which attracted more than 9,000 competitors from 100 countries, have said they developed Covid-like symptoms in Wuhan. Reports also suggested Iranian participants died soon after returning home.</p>
<p>‘I’m 100 per cent convinced the virus was present in Wuhan when we were there,’ said the Canadian officer. ‘The burden of proof is on the scientific community and intelligence experts to prove – not for athletes.</p>

<p>‘I accept I am not a scientist and it might not be Covid, but why does everyone seem so reluctant to investigate properly?</p>
<p>‘It feels like we were present at Ground Zero of this pandemic that has had such impact on everyone’s life, with millions of deaths and economies shut down, so why not carry out due diligence. Are the facts just too big to handle?’</p>
<p>The claims circulating around the team about the virus being present during the Games were rapidly denied by the top doctor in Canada’s armed forces. Yet one well-connected Canadian source told me their intelligence experts suspect the pandemic might go back to a lab incident in Wuhan, which is home to several research centres studying bat coronaviruses.</p>

France: Protest grows bigger after president vows to ‘piss off’ the unvaxxed

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://api-assets.infowars.com/2022/01/GettyImages-1237610557.jpg" /></div>
<p><strong>At least 100,000 people took to the streets of France in protest against Covid-19 restrictions and mandates, after President Macron promised to make the lives of the unvaccinated increasingly hard until they accept the jab.</strong></p>
<p>The huge crowds on Saturday were roughly four times larger than back on December 18, <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/france/20220108-anti-vax-protesters-in-france-tell-macron-we-ll-piss-you-off" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a> to police estimates. The protesters opposed, among other things, a nearly implemented government plan to make proof of vaccination against Covid-19 mandatory to use public transport, eat at restaurants, and attend events.</p>
<p>France’s National Assembly passed a bill this week which, if approved by the Senate, would introduce so-called ‘vaccine passes’ to replace the existing ‘health passes’. Under the current rules, a negative PCR or antigen test gives access to a pass that is valid for 24 hours. A vaccine pass, however, would only be issued to those who have been fully vaccinated. People who were infected with Covid-19 would have to receive a booster shot three to four months after contracting the virus in order to get a vaccine pass, Health Minister Olivier Veran said. In the meantime, they could use their recovery certificates.</p>

<p>The crowd in Paris alone numbered at least 18,000, according to official estimates, with protesters heard chanting <em>“We’ll piss you off!”</em> in reference to Macron’s controversial comments.</p>
<p>Ten protesters were arrested and three police officers were reportedly injured in scuffles in the capital. At least another two dozen people were reportedly detained at numerous protests across other French cities.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
<p>During an interview with Le Parisien on Tuesday, Macron said, <em>“I am not about pissing off the French people. But as for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off.”</em></p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
<p>Macron revealed that continuing to <em>“piss off”</em> unvaccinated French people <em>“to the end”</em> is his <em>“strategy,”</em> and boasted that only a <em>“small minority”</em> was resisting government restrictions.</p>
<p><em>“How do we reduce that minority? We reduce it – sorry for the expression – by pissing them off even more,”</em> the French president said, explaining that the plan includes <em>“putting pressure on the unvaccinated by limiting, as much as possible, their access to activities in social life.”</em></p>

Australia: Thousands rally against vaccination of children (VIDEOS)

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://api-assets.infowars.com/2022/01/GettyImages-1363540886.jpg" /></div>
<p><strong>Thousands of maskless demonstrators took to the streets of Melbourne on Saturday to decry the Australian government’s decision to greenlight Covid-19 vaccines for children as young as five.</strong></p>
<p>Despite the rainy weather, the<em> ‘Save Our Children’</em> protest attracted a huge crowd in the central business district in the capital of the state of Victoria.</p>
<p>People arrived outside the heavily guarded Parliament House to express their outrage over the vaccination of children, which kicks off across Australia on Monday.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
<p>Demonstrators carried signs reading: <em>“Leave our children alone,” “Hands off our kids,”</em> and <em>“Stop poisoning our children.”</em></p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
<p>They then marched from the parliament building to Alexandra Gardens, chanting: <em>“Save our children”</em> and <em>“No more mandates”</em> to the sound of drums.  </p>

<p>Almost no one in the crowd was wearing a mask; some protesters even offered free hugs to others.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
<p>The rally went on peacefully. Law enforcement said the <em>“highly visible police presence”</em> caused the protesters to refrain from any provocative actions.</p>
<p>The Australian authorities approved Covid shots for those aged five to 11 years old last month, saying the immunization drive will begin on January 10. The children will receive two shots eight weeks apart, and the doses will be one-third of what those over 12 receive.</p>
<p>Health Minister Greg Hunt said Australia has enough vaccines for the 2.3 million children in the age group, despite earlier concerns that there would not be enough. <em>“Three million doses [will be] available over January and two million over the course of the next two weeks,”</em> he said.</p>
