WHO Warns Of 'Unusual' Surge in Severe Myocarditis in Babies

UK authorities are investigating an “unusual” surge in severe myocarditis which has hit 15 babies in Wales and England and has killed at least one, the World Health Organization has announced.

On Tuesday, the WHO issued an alert that there had been a rise in “severe myocarditis” in newborns and infants between June 2022 and March 2023 in Wales and England.

It said that this was associated with the enterovirus infection, which rarely affects the heart.

A UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times that 10 babies have been diagnosed in Wales and five have been diagnosed in England.

The WHO said that “although enterovirus infections are common in neonates and young infants, the reported increase in myocarditis with severe outcomes in neonates and infants associated with enterovirus infection is unusual.”

It said that in the same hospital (covering the South Wales region) over the previous six years, “only one other similar case has been identified.”

WHO assessed the public health risk as low, but added that in certain situations, it “may be advisable to close child-care facilities and schools to reduce the intensity of transmission.”

However, the WHO took down the alert on Wednesday. The Epoch Times understands that this could be because some of the numbers were not correct.

The WHO did not respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment.

Investigation

Authorities in England and Wales are currently investigating the rise in cases.

Dr. Shamez Ladhani, Consultant Paediatrician at UKHSA, told The Epoch Times by email that “given a higher than average number of cases in Wales in the autumn/winter months in very young babies, UKHSA is investigating the situation in England to see if any similar cases have been observed here and whether there are any factors driving the increase in cases.”

The UKHSA did not respond to questions about ruling out any links to the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Public Health Wales at the start of May announced that it was investigating a cluster of severe enterovirus infections with myocarditis occurring in very young babies from the South Wales region.

The cases occurred from June 2022 with a peak in November 2022 involving babies under 28 days old.

Ten babies have developed myocarditis within this cluster. One baby remains in hospital, eight are being managed as outpatients, and one baby has died.

‘Massive Question’

Consultant pathologist and HART member Dr. Clare Craig told The Epoch Times that there’s “a massive question about whether or not these babies or the mums are vaccinated.”

HART is an organisation that was set up to share concerns about policy and guidance recommendations relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Coxsackievirus is a member of a family of viruses called enteroviruses and one of the most common causes of viral myocarditis,” she said.

“And we saw like with other viruses, the diagnosis of Coxsackievirus reduced massively in 2020 when SARS-COV 2 arrived.

She added that the total number of people getting myocarditis after 2020 stayed the same suggesting “SARS-COV 2 filled the niche” that Coxsackievirus had left behind.

“But then the vaccine comes along and from 2021 the incidence rate of myocarditis went sky high,” she added.

“The public health authorities claim that they want to maintain trust and yet they won’t explore these avenues to rule out concerns,” she added.

Airline workers who refused COVID shots launch lawsuit against Canadian gov’t

Free to Fly, a group of pilots and airline employees who lost their jobs for not complying with COVID-19 vaccine mandates, are seeking full compensation from the federal government.

By Anthony Murdoch May 19, 2023

(LifeSiteNews) – The Canadian group called Free to Fly, which is made up of pilots and airline workers who lost their jobs for not complying with COVID vaccine mandates, has launched a class action lawsuit against the federal government over its vaccine mandate for aviation, seeking full compensation.

“Free to Fly Canada, through retained counsel Umar Sheikh of Sheikh Law, has filed a Class Action lawsuit against the Canadian government on behalf of aviation employees harmed as a result of vaccination mandates,” the group announced in a press release Wednesday.

“We have developed a comprehensive and methodical approach to holding the government responsible and bringing justice to thousands of impacted workers.”

The group says that plaintiffs, Greg Hill, Brent Warren, and Tanya Lewis are “representative of a proposed class of those subjected to tortuous harm” caused by the federal government’s Transport Canada’s Interim Order Respecting Certain Requirements for Civil Aviation Due to COVID-19, No. 43.

In October 2021, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers and those in the transportation sector and said the unjabbed will no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train, both domestically and internationally.

This policy resulted in thousands losing their jobs or being placed on leave for non-compliance.

Trudeau “suspended” the COVID travel vaccine mandates on June 20, 2022. Last October, the Canadian federal government ended all remaining COVID mandates in Canada regarding travel, including masking on planes and trains, COVID testing, and allowing vaccine-free Canadians to no longer be subject to mandatory quarantine.

According to Free to Fly, Trudeau’s order “induced employers to violate contractual agreements for thousands of Canadian employees, violated rights guaranteed by the Charter, and interfered with free and fair collective bargaining.”

“This is the first time a case of this type has been brought in Canadian Courts and we are proud to help chart this course,” the group said.

According to the group, its class action is “open to unvaccinated employees adversely affected by Transport Canada’s Interim Order, No. 43.”

“This could be reflected through termination of employment, coerced early retirement, or suspension.”

“These suspensions were often called a leave of absence by employers, but given their involuntary nature were not thus, by definition. We have been failed by our government, unions, and employers, and this proceeding is a means to fight back,” the group asserted.

In addition to “general damages plus damages equal to the cost of administering” along with “special damages,” the group also wants a declaration that “Ministerial Order 43 violates the Plaintiffs’ and the class members’ rights to life, liberty and security of the person and is not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice,” and violates the Charter.

Free to Fly had last year announced that it retained a prominent lawyer to move into a “new phase” in seeking justice for aviation workers wronged due to COVID mandates.

Hill, a plaintiff in the class action who works for a major Canadian airline as a pilot and who has 13,000 flying hours under his belt, helped start Free to Fly.

Hill was placed on unpaid leave for a time for refusing to go along with COVID mandates.

He told LifeSiteNews last year that the lawsuit was about “getting us back to the place where we don’t descend into authoritarian tyranny, which seems to be the current trend.”

Hill said the case is “not simply a single filing class action” lawsuit but is “a multi-faceted approach.”

Northern US Border Encounters With Illegals More Than Double In 7 Months

by Tyler Durden Saturday, May 20, 2023 - 11:30 AM Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News

Encounters with undocumented illegal migrants have more than doubled in the past seven months on the NORTHERN U.S. border, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data.

The figures show that Border Patrol agents recorded 4,827 migrant encounters between October 2022 and April along the U.S.-Canadian border.

Through the entire fiscal year 2022, Border Patrol along the northern border encountered 2,238 illegals.

The data also shows that of the close to 5000 who have crossed around half were from Mexico. They flew to Canada (no visa required) and then walked across the border there.

Sean Walsh, National Border Patrol Council President for the Swanton sector in Vermont, New York and New Hampshire has noted “The northern border is less secure than it ever has been and the security speaks for itself.”

“If we’re losing twelve times the amount of people just in this fiscal year alone than in the whole last year, the cartels and criminal organizations have taken advantage and exploited the border and this administration’s policies or lack of policies to address security,” Walsh added.

In March, CBP transferred agents from the southern border to the Swanton section of the northern border in an attempt to deal with the increased numbers.

Meanwhile, on the Southern border…

NEW: CBP reports 16 people on the FBI’s terror watchlist were arrested by Border Patrol at the Southern border in April alone.

That single month is more than all four years of FY17, FY18, FY19, and FY20 - combined (11).

A Hidden Document Shows Obama Met Dr. Tedros and Terrorist Leaders of Ethiopia in 2014 – Then In 2017 Tedros Elected Head of WHO

Document

https://web.archive.org/web/20200519233050/http://hornofafrica.de/ethiopia-from-tigray-peoples-liberation-front/

A document that has now been deleted from the Internet shows Barack Obama meeting with Dr. Tedros of Ethiopia and other terrorist leaders of that country. A few years later Dr. Tedros was elected to lead the World Health Organization (WHO).

In March 2020 the China coronavirus was attacking and terrorizing the world. It was at this time that we learned about the General Secretary of the WHO’s past.

TGP reported that Dr. Tedros was fourth in line of leadership in Ethiopia. We also learned that the leadership of Ethiopia was a terrorist regime. This regime and China were closely connected as well. China was happy to deal with the regime and in turn take advantage of the country’s resources and people.

Tedros and his Ethiopian leadership colleagues were connected to the worst kind of abuse.

We have identified a document that is no longer available on the Internet but is available on the wayback machine. This document shows Obama in a meeting with Ethiopian leaders in 2014. The article is titled “The US Cannot save Ethiopia from Tigray-Peoples-Liberation-Front”. The cover of the article shows Barack Obama, Susan Rice, John Kerry, and others meeting with Dr. Tedros and other leaders of the Ethiopian terrorist regime. For some reason, this article has been deleted from the Internet.
