Katy Perry’s Canadian Boyfriend Wants You To Believe He Never Forced Anyone To Get The COVID Vaccine
'I chose to make sure that all the incentives and all the protections were there'
Troops who refused COVID shot to receive retroactive honor to 'right the wrongs of the past': Hegseth
President Trump's secretary of war is making it a point to set the record straight for those servicemen and -women who adhered to their convictions and refused the Biden COVID shots.
In a memorandum dated December 6, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered Pentagon leadership to identify service members wrongfully discharged because of their refusal to take the jab and give them their due.
Sean Parnell said that nearly 8,700 service members were 'involuntarily separated' from the military because of their refusal to take the jab.
Specifically, many service members were given a general discharge rather than a fully honorable discharge.
"It is unconscionable that thousands of former Service members who held true to their personal and religious convictions were not just separated, but separated with General (Under Honorable Conditions), rather than Honorable, discharge characterizations," Hegseth wrote.

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that nearly 8,700 service members were "involuntarily separated" from the military because of their refusal to take the jab.
Of those, Parnell continued, "more than 3,000 received less than honorable discharge characterizations."
"The department is committed to ensuring that everyone who should have received a fully honorable discharge receives one and continues to right wrongs and restore confidence in and honor to our fighting force,” Parnell said.
In his first week back in office, Trump signed an executive order to reinstate service members who left or were removed from duty on account of the "unfair, overbroad, and unnecessary" COVID vaccine mandates. Hegseth then began implementing that directive in February.

FDA admits COVID shot killed children — and the media still runs cover
After years of gaslighting by the Biden administration, the Food and Drug Administration is finally coming clean to the American people and admitting that “at least 10 children died after and because of receiving the COVID vaccine.”
A memo written by Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, concluded that “no fewer than 10” of 96 child deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System between 2021 and 2024 were related to COVID vaccination.
Prasad even claimed the numbers could be higher.
“Now, this is something that I’ve been trying to sound the alarm on for a very, very long time. And it is very refreshing to hear this coming to light,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says, though she notes that the entire vaccine schedule needs to be scrutinized further.
“Wait till you hear about the CDC schedule,” she adds.
As for the COVID vaccine, Gonzales points out the heavily ignored but well-reported uptick of myocarditis following inoculation in children.
“You had these young boys who were developing it — not normal, despite what the Biden administration tried to tell you. And then Johnson & Johnson, that clot shot was quietly taken away when it killed people,” she says.
“Despite the fact that all of these drug makers try to hide the negative effects, despite all of that, despite what you see in front of your very eyes, you still have doctors trying to peddle total f**king lies,” she continues, before playing a clip from an MS NOW segment where a doctor belittles the FDA’s findings.
“Here we just have the FDA saying, ‘Trust us, we know this to be true,’ without giving us any clear evidence,” Dr. Paul Offit tells Ana Cabrera on “Ana Cabrera Reports.”
“In fact, NBC reports that the memo did not include the children’s ages or medical histories, timelines, or documentation for the deaths he references, does not identify the manufacturer of the vaccine. The FDA’s findings haven’t even been published in a peer-reviewed journal. Doctor, what do you make of that? And do we have any details about these deaths?” Cabrera asks.
“No, it’s an unprofessional and irresponsible thing to do,” Offit replies.
“That’s Dr. Paul Offit — he has gotten totally rich. Totally rich. He is one of the benefactors of the fact that you go and inject your child with poison because you think that they need it to go to school. He is one of the largest benefactors of that,” Gonzales comments.
“So, please, who are you going to believe? Who are you going to believe? The man who stands to financially benefit from the vaccine program? That guy? By the way, total retard. Or the FDA, who is looking at this objectively?” she continues.
“The COVID shot is just the tip of the iceberg,” she adds.

Secretaries Of War, Navy Talk Bringing Back Manufacturing Jobs, Covid Objectors, And Combat Readiness
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Phelan spoke of the dire national security need to revive U.S. manufacturing.ESPN fatigue: Stephen A. Smith pushes vaccines, racial drama, and no real journalism
ESPN is in trouble, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t surprised — especially considering that one of its “stars,” Stephen A. Smith, has been pushing woke nonsense on listeners since the tiresome events of 2020.
In one clip that Whitlock plays from 2022, Smith addresses an incident involving a Duke volleyball player, Rachel Richardson, who claimed that she heard racial slurs in a game against BYU.
“I’m saying, BYU, you did it by allowing this to happen and not addressing it expeditiously, not addressing it with the level of quickness and speed that you should have addressed it with. So now, instead of looking at that fool, that racist bastard that was spewing that nonsense towards Miss Rachel Richardson,” Smith yelled on ESPN’s “First Take.”
“This is why I have fatigue,” Whitlock comments, annoyed. “And y’all remember this. This is about some BYU student that allegedly called some black girl the N-word or something at a volleyball game. It made no sense. There was no proof of it.”
“And Stephen A. Smith’s on TV yelling and screaming and wagging a finger at some white kid that he doesn’t know who he is. There’s no proof that it happened. There never was any proof that it happened. He made a fool of himself and ESPN, and they allowed it to happen. This is supposed to be some media corporation that should have some understanding of the basic tenets of journalism. And they’ve platformed Stephen A. Smith as if he’s the face of sports journalism,” he adds.
But Smith’s BYU outburst is far from the worst of it.
“The virus has been especially brutal to my community, with data showing black Americans being far more likely to get infected, get hospitalized, and, yes, even die from COVID-19. And now the data shows black Americans are not getting the vaccine, at least not at the same rate as other communities,” Smith preached on ESPN.
“Just in Philadelphia, where Rite Aid pharmacies are distributing the vaccine, 87% of vaccinations so far have gone to white folks, reportedly,” he added.
“‘You gotta take this poison, y’all,’” Whitlock mocks. “‘Black people, my community. Now, yes, I lived in a gated community filled with white people, but when I say my community, I’m talking about you black people.’”
“‘You got to take this experimental vaccine and kill yourself. … My IQ is probably in the low 80s, but I’m a doctor and can tell you what vaccines you should take,’” he continues.
“This is insanity,” Whitlock says, adding, “And you wonder why people have fatigue.”

Florida surgeon general moves to END all vaccine mandates for children
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo does not take the issue of childhood vaccines likely — and is making major changes for the health and safety of Florida children.
Florida is seeking to end all vaccine mandates, including those for schoolchildren.
“The whole ‘means justify the ends’ that people are championing — our critics are championing — it’s a really bad way to make public policy,” Ladapo tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”
“Ultimately, I get the interest in — you know, none of us want people to be sick. None of us want to have to deal with people catching different viruses or bacterial infections, going to the hospital, things that are part of life — but we want to minimize those for sure,” he continues.
“But you can’t do it through unethical means. The means do not justify the ends. If the means are bad, the means are bad. The means and the ends are two different things. And it’s just so clearly both a parents' rights issue and it’s very clearly a moral and ethical issue,” he adds.
Ladapo believes that Americans have a God-given right to “control what goes into your body.”
“Otherwise, do you really own it?” he asks.
Gonzales couldn’t agree more.
“If the government says you don’t have the right to control what enters your body, you don’t have any rights,” she says. “Like, that is one of the most fundamental, basic ideas. I don’t understand how it’s controversial.”

ESPN forced her to get the COVID shot — then fired her anyway
Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele was among those in 2021 forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine in order to keep her job — but after complying and getting the shots, her employer let her go anyway.
Steele was taken off the air following a podcast appearance on “Uncut with Jay Cutler,” where she called vaccine mandates “sick” and “scary.”
“You’ve had this long career, this illustrious career, and it came to a point when truth was on the line, and you took a risk,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says to Steele.
“I had been suspended, punished at ESPN in 2021. As we tape this, exactly four years ago I was suspended and in bed, sobbing and scared to death of what was next,” Steele explains.
“I was suspended for speaking up about being forced to take the COVID vaccine in order to keep my job at Disney. ... I had to be fully vaccinated by September 30, 2021, or else, and I waited until the very last second, and I had prayed about it,” she continues.
While Steele was against taking the shots, the pressure she felt as a mother with bills to pay was too much, and she decided to comply.
“I was ready to walk away, but as the sole wage earner with three kids and an ex and alimony and all those things, I felt like I had to make the choice to do it to keep my job. I still struggle with that. I feel like I caved,” she explains.
“So, I did it, and I complied, and then I talked on a podcast about it,” Steele tells Stuckey, noting that she went on the podcast immediately after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, so she was extra angry.
“I said, ‘I think it’s sick and wrong for any employer to force an employee to do something to their bodies that they don’t want to.’ Pretty simple. I said, ‘But I love my job, and I need my job.’ And here we are,” she tells Stuckey.
“And that was the beginning of the end,” she adds.

PHOTOS of MAHA infiltrator caught with mRNA lobbyists
A deep-state actor has been attempting to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from his position as director of Health and Human Services — and BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler has the receipts.
“We have an untold story about what’s happened over the course of the past week at the CDC. We all know the publicly reported stories of what happened — that Susan Monarez, who was the previous head of the CDC, was asked by HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy to fire some people who were not in line, not in alignment with the MAHA agenda,” Wheeler begins.
Wheeler calls Monarez “a bad apple” and a “militant pro-vaxxer” who is not ideologically aligned with the MAHA movement and even defended mRNA vaccines and the COVID vaccine during her confirmation hearing.
“The question, of course, was why was she nominated in the first place as CDC director?” Wheeler asks, before calling the answer a man named Bill Cassidy, a Republican senator from Louisiana.
According to Wheeler, Cassidy is a “MAHA infiltrator."
“He doesn’t seem like someone who’s propagating evil. But let me tell you about what happened over the weekend at the CDC when then-CDC Director Susan Monarez was asked by Bobby Kennedy, HHS secretary, to fire individuals at the CDC who were opposed to Bobby’s MAHA agenda,” Wheeler explains.
“Susan Monarez said ‘no.’ She refused to do the directive of her boss,” she continues, noting that this resulted in her being asked to resign — which she also refused to do and instead hired a lawyer.
“So Bobby Kennedy called President Trump, the White House — HHS communicated with the White House, I should say, to be precise. And President Trump said, ‘Actually, the CDC director, because you’re now a Senate-confirmed official, serves at the pleasure of the president, and it is now my pleasure that you not serve as the CDC director,’” Wheeler says.
“Now, that’s what’s known. You read that,” she adds.
What’s not known is that the first phone call Monarez made after being asked to resign was to Senator Bill Cassidy, who has been instrumental in torpedoing other MAHA efforts.
This is where a lobbying group called “Alliance for mRNA Medicines” comes in, which Wheeler says is “exactly what it sounds like.”
“It is a group dedicated to lobbying, pressuring, capturing members of the federal government and advocating for mRNA vaccines. They call them medicines because they don’t want vaccines in the title,” Wheeler explains.
In a highlight reel the group posted on social media, where they bragged about “what they accomplished during their trip to Washington, D.C.,” they show a meeting with none other than a smiling Cassidy.
“This man, Senator Bill Cassidy, is in the pocket of Big Pharma … but it’s worse than that. Senator Bill Cassidy is not only in the pocket of Big Pharma, he’s in the pocket of the mRNA vaccine lobby,” Wheeler says.
In 2023-2024, Cassidy was the second-highest Republican Senate recipient of Big Pharma cash. In one year alone, he received $290,000 from Big Pharma employees and lobbying groups — which is from just the easily trackable direct donations.
“And funny how the moment he became the ranking member of the Senate Health Committee, he suddenly received an influx of donations not just from pharma employees, but from pharma executives,” she explains, noting that one of those executives is the CEO of Pfizer.
“There’s an infiltrator who’s standing in the way of the MAHA-MAGA alliance,” Wheeler continues, adding, “Senator Bill Cassidy is captured not just by Big Pharma money but by the mRNA vaccine lobby, and there’s photographs to prove it.”

Florida moves to end ALL vaccine mandates in MAJOR health policy shift
A massive announcement from the surgeon general of Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, is turning the vaccine-obsessed world as Americans know it completely upside down.
That is, that all vaccine mandates will be eliminated in Florida.
“What I’m most excited about is an announcement that we’re going to make, that we’re making now, which is that the Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governor, is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in Florida law,” Ladapo announced.
“All of them. All of them,” he repeated to overwhelming cheers. “Every last one of them.”
“Every last one of them,” he emphasized. “Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery, okay? Who am I, as a government, or anyone else, to tell you what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your child should put in your body? I don’t have that right. Your body, your body is a gift from God.”
“What you put into your body is because of your relationship with your body and your God. I don’t have that right. Government does not have that right. They want you to believe they have that right. And unfortunately, you know, they've been successful,” he added.
BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler is thoroughly impressed.
“Dr. Ladapo, it sounds almost revolutionary to hear a public health official speak like this, because most of them don’t,” she tells Ladapo.
“I mean, tell me what this means. Does this mean even for public schools there will be no vaccine requirements for children to attend?” she asks.
“Society’s gotten people to believe that, ‘Oh, actually, you know, governments do have that right.’ They don’t have that right. They don’t have that right. It’s time to reclaim that right. That’s a right from God who gave us our bodies, these vessels that house our souls. So, yes, public schools, absolutely, everything,” Ladapo answers.
“It’s just an unethical policy inherently,” he adds.

Florida’s fight for medical freedom targets vaccine mandates
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo made a major announcement concerning mandatory vaccinations during a press conference on Wednesday, which was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience.
'They do not have the right. Do not give it to them.'
Ladapo began his speech by praising Governor Ron DeSantis (R) for resisting government overreach during the COVID era.
He then revealed a significant win for medical freedom, stating that the Florida Department of Health and DeSantis would work in partnership to end "all" vaccine mandates in Florida law.
The crowd reacted to Ladapo's announcement by standing up and bursting into applause.
"Every last one of them," Ladapo clarified. "Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery."
"Who am I as a government, or anyone else — or who am I as a man standing here now, to tell you what you should put in your body?" he continued.
"Your body is a gift from God. What you put into your body is because of your relationship with your body and your God. I don't have that right. Government does not have that right. They want you to believe they have that right. And unfortunately, they've been successful."

Ladapo noted that nearly every state has vaccine mandates.
"They do not have the right. Do not give it to them. Take it away from them," he declared. "And we're going to be starting that here in Florida."
He emphasized the importance of allowing Americans to make informed decisions about vaccines.
Ladapo explained that the Florida Department of Health has the power to initiate the process by eliminating rules established under the previous administration that required certain vaccines.
"It'll be wonderful for Florida to be the first state to do it," he said.
Also during the Wednesday press conference, DeSantis unveiled the establishment of the Florida Make America Healthy Again commission, which will be chaired by first lady Casey DeSantis and Lt. Gov. Jay Collins (R).
DeSantis referred to Florida as the “national model for medical freedom.”
"The Florida MAHA commission will prioritize reforms that empower Floridians, reduce regulatory burdens, and hold actors accountable for their conduct, while fostering incentives for healthy living and innovation," he stated during the press conference.
