#breaking: The Mahajan family’s first trip to NYC ended in mourning after the death of their 18-year-old son, NYT reported. The family was on a horse-drawn carriage ride around 2:45 p.m. in Central Park, when the driver got off to take a photo of the family, the father told NYT. But then, the horse bolted, speeding up before it crashed. “We were yelling, ‘Help me, help me!’” Romanch Mahajan’s father, Deepak, 44, told NYT. His wife, Priya, fell out of the carriage, so Romanch jumped down to try to help. But he didn’t get up. By around 7:15 p.m., he had died from his injuries, West Side Rag wrote. The other family members, including Romanch’s younger brother, sustained minor injuries. The incident has renewed outrage over the horse-drawn carriage industry and its treatment of horses. On June 9, a horse named Deniz collapsed and died in Central Park after eating a plant toxic to horses. “This is unacceptable. A driver is not supposed to leave the carriage to take photos — ever,” Alexander Kemp, a VP of the horse carriage industry union, said in a statement. “We support a full investigation.” The driver has been suspended and the horse involved, named Sampson, has been retired. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the death a “horrific incident.” “I look forward to working with…community leaders to deliver a just transition that protects workers while ending horse-drawn carriages in Central Park once and for all.” The Mahajan family was celebrating Romanch’s graduation from high school. He was set to begin studying at Manipal University Jaipur for college. “It took my son’s dream away,” Deepak Mahajan told NYT.

💥Happy 2nd SHOT Anniversary💥 2 years y’all! I’ve survived 2 yesrs •2 years I’ve been sick and injured from this poison. And I’m calling it what it is bc I feel “poisoned” every single freaking day • 2 years I’ve been mainly bedbound and unable to work as a RN, where before my jab I was once healthy, in the best shape of my life & ready to start a family. Now I’m 38, disabled & can barely do my Activities of Daily Living •Before becoming a nurse, I was blessed naturally with freakish athletic ability and talent. Any sport I played I excelled in, especially softball. •I started playing softball when I was 4 years old. I skipped tee ball bc I was too advanced and at 4 years old I was playing in coach pitch. I was just an itty bitty thing out there in the sea of these “big kids” and was given the nickname of PEANUT😃 I was the smallest one out there but also the mightiest. Like they say dynamite comes in small packages.!😆 In high school i lettered in varsity Volleyball, Basketball, and softball all 4 years. I earned so many accolades in softball and was a super star in my state. I was a 4 time all county, 4 time all conference, 2 time all region, 2 time All state shortstop and pitcher, County player of the year, and 2 time State Champion 👊✊ Those were the happiest days of my life. After high school I went on to play college softball at a D2 school instead of going professional or playing D1 to be close to my family after my moms death my senior year. I played 2 years of college ball and broke a few records my freshman year one being stolen base record: I was quick like lightning and my fastest time clocked in running to first base was 2.78 seconds in 40 feet 🐭 Of course I was lead off batter. I would get on base, steal 2nd and 3rd and would get hit home to score every time😃 I was also being scouted to play professional softball but pursued being a nurse instead. I am now confirmed, diagnosed and a documented adverse reaction to the mRNA vaccine with temporal association due to symptoms occurring 8 hours after my injection I was in cytokine storm by day 10 of my injury and I still currently am in it 2 years later. My past medical history only consisted of a pollen allergy which I took daily Claritin for. That’s it No surgeries, or other problems. I didn’t even have a PCP at the time bc I was never sick and if I did get sick I would always just see my athletic trainer while at college or the urgent care. I now suffer not only with being in cytokine storm, but also a bunch of new onset diagnosis that it has caused. POTS (postural Orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) , MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) Mthfr gene mutation, tremors, muscle mass loss, neurocognitive issues, monocyte and macrophage activation with all three monocyte likes expressing S1 Vax spike, mitochondrial failure, nitric oxide pathway failure, shingles, ebv reactivated, tremors, hot flashes, hypertension, inappropriate sinus tach with pacs, pvcs, and ventricular trigeminy, adhd, depression, anxiety, ptsd, ocd, extensive hair loss alopecia, skin rashes and bumps, syncope, dizziness, tinnitus, shortness of breath on exertion , micro clotting and activated platelet cascade, joint pain and swelling, palpitations and the list goes on. I speak out about my injury bc this poison needs pulled from the shelves ASAP and investigated 💯 #VaxInjuries #VaxDeaths #PfizerLied

This Animation turned out cool 🔥 Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield Full open-sourced prompts and assets below Prompt: Generation 1 Aoi = Image 1 · Kaijin = Image 2 · Mio = Image 3 · Ren = Image 4 · Classroom = Image 5 All shots take place in the Classroom Shot 1 (0–3s) — Low static shot. Aoi slumped on the tiled floor between the desk rows, overcast daylight from the tall windows right, overturned desks and scattered notebooks around her, sweat soaking her bangs, neckerchief pulled loose, hand pressed to her stomach, breath ragged. Wall clock ticking. Shot 2 (3–5s) — Tight close-up on Aoi's hand on the tile, fingernails darkening and lengthening into claws, veins raising black under the skin, a pink flush blooming beneath the flesh; ragged breathing turning to wet clicking. Shot 3 (5–8s) — Rapid three-frame cut, Aoi becoming Kaijin: spine erupting through the blouse in a row of ivory spines; jaw splitting as bone-white plate sheets over the skull; a second eyelid tearing open on the collarbone, grey iris rolling into place. Hard cuts, wet cracking, cold blue-grey light on pink tissue. Shot 4 (8–10s) — Fast vertical tilt up Kaijin rising hunched to full height, shredded sailor collar and blue neckerchief hanging off its shoulder, central eye fixing forward, ivory horns catching window light, tiles splitting under its claws, guttural roar against the green chalkboard. Shot 5 (10–12s) — Camera in the dim corridor. Mio and Ren sprinting toward the wooden door on the left, scythe and hammer in hand; they burst through into the grey daylight and freeze, Mio recognizing the sailor collar on Kaijin. Mio (Japanese, low): 「遅かった。」 ("We're late.") Shot 6 (12–13.5s) — Low dutch angle. Ren charging first, hammer swinging into Kaijin's leg; whip-pan as the counterblow throws him sideways through a desk into the corkboard wall, papers scattering off the pins. Shot 7 (13.5–15s) — Close-up slow motion, Mio vaulting the wreckage, hook connecting across Kaijin's forearm, hot pink ichor spraying in thick suspended arcs against the window light — freeze on the ichor mid-air. Generation 2 Aoi = Image 1 · Kaijin = Image 2 · Mio = Image 3 · Ren = Image 4 · Classroom = Image 5 Last frame = Image Shot 8 (15–17s) — Wide static two-anchor frame. Kaijin backhands Mio toward the cracking chalkboard as Ren is swatted into a row of desks opposite; both impacts land in the same beat. Ren (Japanese, groaning): 「まだやれる…お前は?」 ("Still good… you?") Mio (Japanese, pushing up): 「当然。」 ("Obviously.") Shot 9 (17–19s) — Floor-level tracking, Kaijin's clawed feet splitting tiles as it stalks toward Mio, central eye dilating, torso eyes blinking out of sync, desks shoved aside, pages lifting in the draft. Shot 10 (19–21s) — Close-up on Ren rising, blood at his temple, hammer up into a two-handed grip, eyes locked on Kaijin's exposed ribs. Shot 11 (21–23s) — Extreme close-up slow motion, hammer head into the ribs, bone-white shards and hot pink fluid bursting frame by frame, Kaijin staggering off-balance. Shot 12 (23–25s) — Fast orbit around Mio and Ren flanking the staggered Kaijin from opposite sides, hook and hammer both rising, overcast light streaking the lens. Shot 13 (25–28s) — Slow motion, Mio driving the hook into Kaijin's shoulder joint and wrenching down with a full-throated scream, burst of hot pink; Ren's hammer follows a half-beat later into the same joint; the mass folds and collapses face-first, torn sailor collar settling in the pink pool. Shot 14 (28–30s) — Pull back to wide. Mio and Ren standing over the corpse, chests heaving, weapons hanging loose; Mio staring at the blue neckerchief in the ichor; a notebook page drifts down past frame — hold, cut to black.

Just Because Something Is Logical Does Not Mean It Is True "Solari Builders: Understanding Money and the Economy with Prof. Richard A. Werner" Richard Werner solaribuilders By Ricardo Oskam At the recent gathering in Northern Italy that concluded the Solari Builders pilot course, Professor Richard A. Werner addressed two fundamental questions: What is money? And what problem does money’s existence solve? Werner, a recurrent guest at Solari, is a German economist who, after training at the London School of Economics and Oxford, spent his formative years in Japan—as the first Shimomura Fellow at the Development Bank of Japan and then as chief economist at the Jardine Fleming investment bank in Tokyo. In the mid-1990s, he coined the term “quantitative easing,” proposing to the Bank of Japan something rather different from what central banks later carried out borrowing the same terminology. Werner’s 2003 book, Princes of the Yen, which described how Japan’s central bankers inflated and then burst a bubble to force through reform, outsold Harry Potter in Japan for six straight weeks. Before diving into contemporary monetary theory, Werner took the Solari Builders group through one thousand years of history. With the Builders having visited a famous Italian Duomo the day before his presentation—a cathedral that was six centuries in the making—he tackled the question of how some of Europe’s most impressive cathedrals were built. Laborers contributed to structures they knew they would never see completed in their lifetimes, making the cathedrals a true testimonial to a higher culture where one honored God with every brick laid. Today, Werner notes, we would not be able to replicate those buildings at any sane cost, despite having better technology. Since 1992, Prof. Werner has argued that banks do not pass along existing savings but create money out of thin air—the Credit Creation Theory. Werner used empirical evidence that he painstakingly gathered (rather than rely on axioms or theoretical deductions) to prove his claim to be true and disprove other theories such as the intermediation theory of banking (which claims that banks are just financial intermediaries, both individually and collectively) or the fractional reserve theory of banking (which claims that banks are individually financial intermediaries but collectively create money through fractional reserve banking). The common thread uniting the historical examples Werner references is the creation of money as an animating force. The stone wheel money of Yap and the split tally stick made of cheap hazelwood (the grain of its split being a unique fingerprint to identify its validity) became money because people accepted them as money. His point, arriving through the back door of history, is that our own money is the same instrument, with the promise thinned out—a claim with no commodity behind it. The tally stick was also the original accounting method: charge on one side, discharge on the other, cash recorded as it moves, checked afterwards against the counter-rolls kept in the Treasury, making it hard to lie. Double-entry accounting came later, and in Werner’s reading of it, represented not an advance in transparency but a smokescreen. Interest was illegal in Christian Europe, and the goldsmith-bankers had more than interest to hide: they were lending out gold left in their care and writing deposit certificates for gold nobody had deposited. To truly understand the economy, we must understand what money is and how its successful use is intertwined with our governance system and a healthy culture that supports a fundamental level of trust. Will the rapid influx of newly created money in our economy facilitate borrowing for productive purposes—leading to growth without inflation—or will it further raise consumer prices and spawn asset bubbles?

🚨SILVER IS REPEATING THE 2011-2013 CRASH SCENARIO I've seen this before, and I don't like how it ends Since January 2026, silver has dropped around 48% from its all-time high of $121.6/oz, making January and February some of the worst months since 2011 The scenario is repeating almost perfectly: Rally → ATH → Hawkish Fed → ETF outflows → Loss of momentum → Deep Correction 1. After the ATH, profit-taking accelerated Just like in 2011, silver rallied for years on inflation fears, geopolitical tensions, and expectations of a structural supply deficit But after the peak, the momentum started to fade 2. The Fed is once again the main source of pressure Kevin Warsh's hawkish stance and expectations of tighter monetary policy are strengthening the dollar and pushing real yields higher - a bearish scenario for silver With money rotating from commodities into equities as the U.S. economy stays resilient, silver tends to underperform gold 3. Safe-haven demand is fading If tensions around Iran, the Middle East, or other geopolitical conflicts continue to ease, the safe-haven premium will keep shrinking Money will start flowing back into risk assets again 4. ETF outflows and speculative positions are unwinding During the 2026 correction, silver ETF saw noticeable outflows as investors reduced exposure and risk appetite faded Historically a sign of changing market sentiment 5. Margin requirements and leverage Back in 2011, CME margin hikes were one of the main catalysts behind the crash Today's market once again looks dominated by speculation after a parabolic rally 6. Fundamentally, silver is stronger than in 2011 due to a structural supply deficit and rising industrial demand However, the speculative and investment side of the market is behaving almost the same way it did in 2011 And unlike gold, silver doesn't benefit much from central bank buying, since central banks mainly accumulate gold, not silver If the 2011-2013 analogy keeps playing out: The current decline may not be the end of the correction A move down to the $50-55 range is possible, and in a more bearish scenario, silver could even fall toward $40+ over the next 6-18 months before industrial demand and supply deficits take control again I've said this before, and everything is still playing out exactly according to plan Turn on notifications. If you're not following me yet, you might realize later that it was a mistake because I warned you Bookmark this. The next phase is gonna be very important

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1.⁠ Trump returned to the White House, still full of energy, despite a marathon Middle East peace tour where he saw the last Israeli hostages released from Gaza and then flew to Egypt for the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit with world leaders. 2.⁠ Screams of joy filled the air as Israeli hostages freed from Gaza after 2 years of captivity were finally reunited with their families. World leaders were united in their praise for Trump in bringing an end to the war. 3.⁠ Leaders from at least 27 countries gathered in Egypt to witness the signing of the historic peace agreement that brought to an end the Gaza war. Trump announced the Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity, declaring the war officially over and a new chapter of stability beginning. 4.⁠ Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement after airstrikes killed several people in Gaza, and the fatal shooting of 5 Palestinians who crossed a ceasefire line and approached Israeli forces. 5.⁠ Trump is due to posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House later today. The ceremony falls on what would have been Charlie’s 32nd birthday. His widow, Erika, will attend with family and conservative leaders. 6.⁠ SpaceX’s latest Starship test flight completed one of its main objectives - opening its side payload door and releasing several dummy satellites while traveling at near-orbital speed. The booster executed its final landing maneuvers smoothly splashing down in the Indian Ocean, marking the second time a Version 2 Starship has completed a full flight profile. 7.⁠ Following Trump’s historic peace deal in Gaza, Time put him on its front cover using a picture he slammed as “the worst of all time. I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture and deserves to be called out.” 8.⁠ Torrential rains slammed central and Gulf Coast Mexico, killing at least 64 people and leaving 65 missing. Over 100,000 homes were flooded, power went out across 5 states, and entire roads and bridges were literally washed away. 9.⁠ A powerful nor’easter, the type of massive winter storm known for heavy coastal flooding and fierce winds, tore up the East Coast, hammering Long Beach with waves up to 16 feet and gusts reaching 45 mph. Reporters on scene described relentless surf and flooding from the Carolinas to New York. 10.⁠ Three police officers are dead and 13 others injured after a booby-trapped farmhouse exploded during an eviction raid in Castel D’Azzano, Italy. Police say 3 siblings refused to leave - and instead turned their home into a death trap, detonating gas cylinders as officers entered.

Before we get into that ingenious cooling stunt, let's first meet the star of the story: Yuncheng (运城), north China's Shanxi Province. This seemingly low-key city actually has a few remarkable identities that may completely change the way you see it. China's "No. 1 City of National Treasures" Yuncheng is home to 100+ cultural heritage sites under national-level protection, with an astonishing concentration of ancient architecture. Step into almost any county in the area, and you may come across a temple, pagoda, or mural that has survived a thousand years. East Asia's Oldest Paleolithic Site? It is home to one of the earliest known Paleolithic sites in East Asia, dating back approximately 1.8 million years. Some European studies even suggest that the site may be more than 2.4 million years old. Salt Lake City, meet your Chinese twin Yuncheng is home to a salt lake spanning roughly 154 square kilometers, with a salt-harvesting history stretching back some 4,000 years. Salt Lake City, meet China's Salt Lake City. Perhaps it's time to make this a sister-city relationship, Salt Lake City Government ? And its waters are actually saltier than those of the Dead Sea, buoyant enough to let a person float effortlessly on the surface. The only thing that doesn't float here is its fame. Hometown of Guan Yu (关羽) China's legendary warrior saint, Guan Yu, was born there more than 1,800 years ago. Celebrated for his unwavering loyalty and valor, and immortalized by the tragedy of a fatal misjudgment in his final years, he went on to influence Chinese culture for nearly two millennia. Even today, countless temples across China dedicated to him remain active, from Taiwan to Xinjiang. By all accounts, Yuncheng has no shortage of history and culture worthy of making headlines. Yet what recently propelled the city into the national spotlight was not its cultural heritage, though. It was the rooftop of an ordinary residential complex-where it suddenly began to "rain." This summer, a punishing heatwave has swept across Europe, while much of China has also been gripped by prolonged high temperatures. Against this backdrop, an unusual cooling system that sends a fine mist drifting down from above has captured nationwide attention. According to the property developer, the system was officially put into operation in August 2024. Each building, 100 meters tall, is equipped with more than 200 high-pressure misting nozzles installed along the rooftop. The fine droplets absorb heat as they evaporate, helping to lower the surrounding temperature. The system enters regular operation each June, with a single cycle lasting about 10 minutes. My colleagues took on-site measurements. Before the system kicked in, the ground temperature within the complex had climbed to 44 degrees Celsius. Once the system began operating, clouds of fine spray descended from above. Children opened umbrellas and played in the artificial "rain." After the spraying cycle ended, measurements showed that the ground temperature had fallen to around 33 degrees Celsius, while the temperature within the mist-covered area dropped significantly, turning a sweltering afternoon into something noticeably cooler and far more comfortable environment. According to the property management, the operating costs are fully covered by the community's shared property-management budget, meaning residents pay nothing extra. The system draws on ordinary tap water. Because the droplets are so fine, most of the water evaporates before it ever reaches the ground. Beyond cooling the air, it helps reduce dust and provides some irrigation for nearby greenery, allowing the same water to serve multiple purposes. This residential community is not the only place experimenting with creative ways to cope with extreme heat. As high temperatures continue, cities across China are introducing increasingly practical and locally adapted cooling measures. In Beijing, Turpan, and many other cities, air-conditioned service stations have opened their doors to sanitation workers, delivery riders, and other outdoor workers. These stations provide watermelon, chilled drinks, ready-to-eat food, and heatstroke-prevention supplies, all free of charge. In some locations, field workers have also been equipped with cooling vests and other protective gear designed for extreme heat. Kaifeng (开封), in central China's Henan Province, has taken an approach that carries a touch of romance all its own. About a thousand years ago, Kaifeng served as the capital of China, during a period when science and technology, urban civilization, and the visual arts flourished. Today, the city is home to several large theme parks and has become one of China's major cultural tourism destinations. Some have even dubbed it "China's Orlando." Kaifeng is also renowned for its watermelons. This year's bumper harvest, however, has left some local growers struggling to find enough buyers. In response, several theme parks have stepped in to purchase large quantities of local watermelons in bulk. The initiative helps farmers expand their sales channels, and allows the parks to hand out thousands of kilograms of free watermelon to visitors each day, offering a refreshing respite from the summer heat. From mist raining down on rooftops, to icy drinks pressed into the hands of delivery riders, to free watermelons handed out by the truckload-different cities, one shared answer. Fighting the heat doesn't always take billion-dollar mega-projects. Sometimes, it just takes a little imagination, and a lot of heart. It might be a shower of mist falling from a rooftop, a wearable cooling suit, or a slice of freshly cut, ice-cold watermelon. What's the coolest heat-relief idea in YOUR city? Drop it in the comments, let's see who wins summer. (And to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere and Alaska-tell us your winter survival tricks instead. We'll need them in December☕)

Today, I taught my kids principle of the combustion engine focused on the crank shaft. We started by having them in groups brainstorm how they believe an engine works, then I simplified it for them, and at the end, have them create small models using toys. First, these are my kids, they are in primary 2 (8 years old). I started with them 2 years ago when they were 6 years old and most of them couldn’t even write their names. We can also do this in Nigeria: 1. Kids are all born the same, but the right nutrition at early age helps cognitive development. Let’s build stable local industries that focus on production of children meals that are rich in proteins and vitamins that are good for the children’s brain development. Too much pap and two which are carbohydrates rich aren’t sufficient, and can affect academic performance of children, whom eventually grow up to be the politicians that think giving poor people giveaways in comment sections is helping the economy. 2. Primary education is way too important to be treated as political privilege or achievement. All the countries that invested in their children such as Japan, China, US, Singapore, Finland have far superior economies and quality of life compared to the countries that didn’t. Teachers are not just civil servants, they are looked at as heroes, soldiers, critical individuals that make or break a society. They earn well, they are taken cared of and they are some of the most intelligent and creative people in a country. A keke driver knows how important his Keke is so he can make money, so he takes care of it. Don’t take care of primary school teachers, you should prepare for poverty and insecurity. Playing the blame game on political parties or candidates and insulting each other on the internet only takes our minds away from what is important. Let’s put aside political, religious, ethnic and sentimental differences and prepare a future for our children and grandchildren so they wouldn’t be slaves to my students in the future. The Nigerian education system and curriculum right now is as good as nothing. 3. Skills are part of education/degree: It is unfortunate that a former student who had so many carryovers in mathematics (which is the backbone of computer science) and barely graduated and purchased highest education certificates is confusing and discouraging people who are putting their sweat and time to get a difficult, expensive and ancient degrees in Nigeria. Considering how he failed many courses so many times, it’s not surprising that he is taking a shot at university education. Well, skills are part of degrees in normal and functioning universities and education systems with updated curriculums that fits its economy. In fact, those skills start from primary school, and I believe the professor should advocate for updated curriculums that include more modern skills, practicals, field trips, work attachments that will jumpstart Nigeria’s failing economy not destroy the little that is left in degrees and the hope millions of poor citizens have for them. 4. Native language is the way to go: Yes Nigeria has many languages, so we can use multiple official local languages in different regions to educate and run the government. English can be an optional subject in school which parents can choose. Sacrifice has to be made in order to develop, so some smaller ethnic groups that have few speakers should adopt one of the major languages in Nigeria as a secondary language to be used at home, and that would the language to use at school. Controversial? Yes, but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. The past is the past, we can only learn from it. Let’s use these lessons and start building a better future for our children and grandchildren now. Prayers are good, but they aren’t enough and shouldn’t take most of our time and energy. We have to physically work harder than we pray.

Carrie Sakamoto was injured by the COVID-19 vaccine. This is her testimony at the Allison Inquiry. 1. Background Carrie was a healthy woman. She had received all her childhood vaccines and a flu shot years earlier. When COVID-19 vaccines became available, she chose AstraZeneca for her first dose in April 2021 because she was told it was closest to the flu vaccine. She received Pfizer for her second dose on June 18, 2021. 2. The onset She got sick right away, flu-like symptoms, same as her husband who received the same shot at the same time. She wasn't concerned at first. The news said side effects like rash and fever were normal. Her husband recovered. She got progressively worse. 3. The swelling and fever Her lymph nodes on the right side of her neck swelled up. She had a high fever. Because of COVID restrictions, her GP wouldn't see her in person, only a phone call. She was diagnosed over the phone with tonsil stones and prescribed antibiotics. 4. "Fire in my brain" The next morning, extreme pain began in her brain. She describes it as "fire in my brain", a burning sensation all over her head, so severe she was vomiting constantly. She still has this pain today and takes medication for it, which is causing memory loss. 5. Hospital visits and dismissal She went to the ER. They thought it was migraines, gave her migraine medication, IV fluids, and something for her stomach, then sent her home. As soon as the medications wore off, she was right back where she started. She lost a lot of weight from not eating and constant sickness. 6. Facial paralysis On the way back to the hospital, her face felt like it was swelling. Looking in the car's side mirror, she saw half her face had dropped. She thought she was having a stroke. At the hospital, they told her it was Bell's palsy and sent her home again, saying the hospital was full of COVID patients and only taking emergencies. They gave her steroids. 7. Losing function Again, as soon as the medications wore off, the burning in her brain returned, and now half her face was paralyzed. Her eye was paralyzed open, she had to patch it, constantly applying gel so it wouldn't dry out and she wouldn't lose the eye. She experienced hearing loss and balance issues. She had no strength. Numbness spread on the left side of her face. She worried it would reach her eye and she'd lose her vision. 8. Unable to swallow The paralysis came down her throat to her shoulder and back. She couldn't chew or swallow. She was put on feeding tubes and had to relearn how to eat. She was in the hospital for 17 days. 9. Ongoing conditions - Synkinesis - nerves healed back wrong, all connected incorrectly. Constant pulling and cramping in her face, very painful, worse the more she talks. Her eye droops. Blurry and double vision. - Memory loss - doctors believe it's medication-related. She was tested and scored as early-onset Alzheimer's. She can't go off the medication or she ends up "very sick" again. She describes it as "having a side effect from the side effects of the medication." - Two types of vertigo - Light sensitivity - she wears glasses for it - Ongoing eye problems - infections, redness, skin damage around the eye from constant patch removal 10. The program Her doctors told her this was a vaccine injury — she says she's had doctors on her side the whole time. She received a partial payout from the vaccine injury program — she's one of the 0.01%. But she's still in appeals. They approved her vaccine injury but denied all her medications, all her therapies, her hearing aid, and her glasses. Everything is out of pocket, including her psychologist. Therapies have stopped. She started a GoFundMe to keep her medicine going. 11. The toll on her family They had to sell everything and leave their "forever home." She had to explain to her children they couldn't stay. They moved into town. Her youngest never went back to school, they homeschool. He's in grade 11 now and suffers severe migraines. He also had Pfizer. Her mother got a booster, developed shingles, was diagnosed with turbo cancer, and died a year into Carrie's injury, before she ever saw her first oncologist. 12. Her words "I feel abandoned from the government that said they were going to be here for us. We were told that if we did this, things could go back to normal. We were told that we wouldn't be able to do things if we didn't get it." "The program has been awful. For people who are injured, they can't get the help they need. And we're just looking for medical help. We just want help with our health." "I hear people talking all the time about us being anti-vax when it couldn't be further from the truth." Where is our humanity if we don't have enough compassion to help people who believed the experts parroting "safe and effective" 24/7?
