NEW – Google's Stock Sinks Following Reports That Some of Their Gemini AI Demo Was Faked "So that video demo of Gemini that everyone was kind of going crazy over...It was edited, it was cut to look like it was faster and more capable than it actually is...So I've been pressing Google on this. They finally gave me a statement saying this is actually meant to be an illustrative version of what Gemini could be like when it's finally out and when it finally launches." https://x.com/thechiefnerd/status/1733212456778965145 @ChiefNerd

Overall Health Effects of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis "The analyses included 25,549 individuals (17,538 mRNA vaccine recipients and 8,011 placebo recipients)...Among the older children, the vaccines were associated with a 3.5-fold higher risk of Severe AEs. Among children younger than 5 years of age, the mRNA vaccines were associated with a 3-fold higher risk of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and a 2-fold higher risk of RSV. Given the low risk of severe COVID-19 infections in children, the RCTs call for a renewed assessment of the value of COVID-19 vaccination of children and adolescents." https://x.com/thechiefnerd/status/1733197900153340409 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.07.23298573v2 @ChiefNerd

👀 Dr. Jessica Rose Shares New Data from a Pre-Print Which Examines the COVID Vaccine Contamination Issue “I’ve put together the number of cancer reports per 100k AE’s per dose in VAERS and I went all the way up to dose 5. And it certainly does look like there’s the beginning of another type of dose-response curve. Certainly it is obvious that as the dose number goes up, the number of cancer reports per 100k adverse events also goes up.” https://x.com/thechiefnerd/status/1733138186660942166 @ChiefNerd

NOW — Al Gore Says Social Media Algorithms Disrupt Democracy and Need to be Banned: ‘They are the Digital Equivalent of AR-15’s’ “The shift from an information ecosystem based on print to one based on broadcasting and then moving on to the internet and to social media has disrupted the balances that used to exist that made representative democracy work much better…Because a free self-governing people rely on a shared base of knowledge that serves as a basis for reasoning together.” https://x.com/thechiefnerd/status/1733102493934944419 @ChiefNerd
