While Google may have dodged the bullet of a breakup, living under the constant threat of regulators is a price no innovator should have to pay

In the very first large study of long-term mortality by vaccination status—assessing the impact of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination among French adults aged 18 to 59—French scientists found there was "no increased risk of 4-year all-cause mortality in individuals aged 18 to 59 years vaccinated against COVID-19, further supporting the safety of the mRNA vaccines that are being widely used worldwide."
Their research with 22.7 million vaccinated individuals and 5.9 million unvaccinated individuals found that "vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19, and no increased risk of all-cause mortality over a median follow-up of 45 months."
This is the largest study of this kind in the world, and the results are significant. (There was a large Japanese study during the Omicron wave, which earlier vaccines had some trouble covering. This did see an increase in mortality in the over-70s which didn't discriminate towards vaccinated or non-vaccinated.).
Blogger with the unfortunate name of Snarky Gherkin summarises the French results:
This study used real-world national health data... not surveys, not estimates, not “my cousin’s friend is a nurse on Rumble", not laminated placards of nocebo hysteria.
They followed 22.7 million vaccinated adults and 5.9 million unvaccinated adults aged 18–59, median follow-up 45 months (nearly 4 years).
They matched the groups on age, sex, region and over 41 health conditions (so it was adjusted for comorbidities).
Then they looked at hard endpoints such as all-cause mortality, COVID-related mortality and long-term mortality trends.
The Findings...What this means... if vaccines were causing secret waves of heart attacks, cancers, turbo-autoimmune-disasters… we would absolutely see it here.
- Vaccinated people had 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19.
- 25% lower risk of death from ANY cause.
- No increase in mortality for 4 years after vaccination.
- Results held even after excluding COVID deaths.
Instead, vaccinated people (on average) lived longer.
The authors did note that vaccinated groups had slightly more cardiometabolic issues,
yet still had better outcomes. (That’s the opposite of “healthier people bias.”)
This is one of the strongest long-term safety signals ever conducted and released.

Summary:
mRNA vaccines weren’t the problem.
The virus was.

This isn’t your Biden-era Kennedy Center.
President Donald Trump has taken the reins of the D.C. cultural institution, boosting its financial prospects and shedding content that insults large swathes of the country.
The progressive arts community hasn’t stopped shrieking over the transformation, including a Broadway diva who wished to “blow up” the institution under Trump’s watch.
Still, the Trumpian KenCen has corrected some cultural mistakes in just a few short months, above and beyond the fiscal nightmare that greeted it. Case in point? Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone finally took home a Kennedy Center Honors award.
It’s about time.
Now, a play recalling one of the worst terrorist attacks in the modern era will grace the Kennedy Center stage after a dramatic rollout.
“October 7” is drawn from survivor testimonies of Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israel. The savagery left 1,200 people dead and hundreds more as hostages. Phelim McAleer and wife Ann McElhinnery wrote the play as “verbatim theater,” where real documents, not creative license, flesh out the narrative.
The pair traveled to Israel shortly after Oct. 7 and interviewed survivors of the savagery, much of which was filmed by the terrorists and shared on social media. We hear from not just those who survived the ordeal but the heroes who helped save Israeli citizens from Hamas terrorists.
“October 7” debuted in May of 2024 fo a six-week run that required a permanent police presence to ensure patrons’ safety. The stories within include a mother who hid for hours without knowing if her children had survived the first wave of attacks.
The production also highlights a police officer who saved dozens of innocents with a pistol and just nine bullets.
Since then, the production has hit the road, visiting college campuses including Princeton, UCLA, and, most recently, Bowdoin College in Maine.
The artistic community has been reticent to explore the Oct. 7 attacks through art. Films like “October 8” and “Screams Before Silence” got ignored by many cultural scribes. The Hollywood community, which often rallies to activist causes, mostly stood down in the weeks and months that followed the attack.
Many famous names threw their weight behind Israel-themed boycotts instead.
Tickets for “October 7” are available now via The Kennedy Center web site for the Jan. 28 performance.
