(0:00 - 2:01) Good evening, I'm Will Dove, and these are the top stories for Monday, March 31st. The vaccine narrative has taken more hits, with three damning new studies released in the past two days alone. A comprehensive study analyzing data from over nine million people has revealed a troubling trend of neurological damage among those vaccinated against COVID. Researchers found evidence suggesting that the mRNA vaccines may be contributing to an increase in brain-related disorders, with symptoms ranging from cognitive decline to severe neurological impairment. This study, published earlier today, points to a potential crisis that has left scientists calling for further investigation into the long-term impacts of these vaccines. Adding to the concerns, another report released today highlights a phenomenon dubbed infection by injection. It claims that some COVID-vaccinated individuals are experiencing unexpected health declines, likely linked to the vaccines themselves. The report suggests that the mRNA technology, while initially hailed as a breakthrough, might be triggering adverse reactions in a significant portion of recipients, challenging the narrative of their universal safety. Hammering a major nail into the vaccine coffin, the World Health Organization has acknowledged that monkeypox is a side effect of the COVID vaccines. This finding, detailed in a statement issued yesterday, indicates that a small subset of vaccinated people may be experiencing immune system disruptions, leading to increased susceptibility to other infections like monkeypox. On a different front, a study published yesterday asserts that flu vaccinations do not reduce mortality rates as previously believed. Examining data across multiple seasons, researchers found no significant decrease in deaths among vaccinated populations compared to unvaccinated groups, prompting questions about the efficacy of annual flu shots and their widespread promotion by health authorities like Health Canada. (2:03 - 3:28) Finally, an alarming forecast released yesterday predicts that doctors could face bankruptcy by 2030 due to rising malpractice lawsuits tied to vaccine-related injuries. With increasing reports of adverse effects, legal pressures are mounting, and some experts warn that the financial burden could devastate the medical profession within the next five years. The European Union has released a controversial video advising citizens on how to prepare a 72-hour emergency bug-out bag in preparation for potential conflict with Russia. EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Hadja Lahbib presented the emergency preparedness guide with what critics describe as insufferable quirkiness. It's Hadja Lahbib. Welcome to What's in My Bag Survival Edition. First up, my glasses. Super important if you want to see what is happening or not. Next, my decor in waterproof pouch. A must in a rainy Brussels. Now, let's talk about lighting. I have a flashlight. If you don't, don't forget the matches and of course, the light. Turn. And water, of course, because water is life. And my special friend, a Swiss army knife. 18 tools in only one knife. A must-have. (3:32 - 4:29) And don't forget your medication. You might need it because you never know. And don't forget something to eat. You might be hungry, very hungry. And of course, some cash. In the middle of crisis, cash is king. And your credit card might just be a piece of plastic. A charger and a power bank because a dead phone is a dead bank. Playing cards, a bit of distraction, never hurt anyone. And don't forget the radio. The smaller one. This is everything you need to survive the first 72 hours of a crisis. Speaking about being prepared, the EU is preparing its strategy to be sure that every citizen is safe in case of crisis. Be prepared, be safe. The timing of this advisory comes amid escalating tensions between Russia and NATO countries. (4:30 - 4:57) Just days ago, Russia accused the UK and France of direct involvement in a Ukrainian attack on the Suja gas metering station in Russia's Kursk region. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claimed the attack was facilitated through French satellites with British specialists providing targeting coordinates. Critics have called the EU's emergency preparedness video delusional, noting that a 72-hour kit would be woefully inadequate for a major conflict. (4:59 - 6:01) Survival experts point out that the bare minimum standard for a survival food supply is three months, considering how long it typically takes government agencies to restore essential services during major crises. The EU commissioners defended their approach, with Roxana Mînzatu, the Commissioner for Preparedness, stating, The COVID pandemic has shown that the added value of acting together in solidarity, in coordination, in the European Union framework is absolutely crucial. This is what makes us more efficient, makes us stronger. Meanwhile, Ukraine has denied Russia's allegations regarding the Suja attack, instead suggesting it was a false flag operation by Moscow. Both sides have accused each other of violating the energy ceasefire proposed by US President Trump. The EU's sudden focus on citizen preparedness marks a stark contrast to previous attitudes, as these same officials reportedly ridiculed the preparedness movement a decade ago and accused survivalists of being hoarders during COVID lockdowns. (6:01 - 8:26) Some analysts suggest this shift may signal concerns about expanding hostilities between Europe and Russia. Russian forces continue to capture villages in eastern and southern Ukraine, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. Over the weekend, Russia's defense ministry announced the capture of several strategic locations, including Shebraki in the region and Panteleimonivka in eastern Donetsk. On Sunday, Russian forces captured another key village less than 10 kilometers from Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region, a boundary that has not been breached in over three years of war. The Russian defense ministry announced they had liberated the village of Zaporizhzhia in the eastern Donetsk region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Russia's continued offensive, stating, Russia is making a mockery of peacekeeping efforts around the world. It is dragging out the war and sowing terror because it still feels no real pressure. The battlefield advances come amid intensified Russian drone attacks, with over 170 drones launched at Ukraine in a single day. Four people were killed in Dnipro after a strike hit a hotel, injuring an additional 21 people, including a pregnant woman. While Ukrainian forces continue to retreat from Russia's Kursk region, where they had previously made incursions, reports indicate new fighting may have erupted inside Russia's Belgorod region. According to Russian military bloggers, Ukrainian troops have staged a little-publicized incursion into Belgorod and are engaged in battles with Russian forces there. The New York Times recently revealed tensions between Washington and Kyiv regarding Ukraine's Kursk operation, with a Pentagon official describing Ukraine's actions as blackmail for crossing a mutually agreed-upon line by taking coalition-supplied equipment into Russian territory without informing American partners. President Trump's efforts to bring all sides to the negotiating table have so far failed to halt Russia's military advance, as the conflict continues to escalate on multiple fronts. The laughable preparedness video in the previous story shows that Europe is preparing for war, and if the Russian accusation of France and the UK assisting in a Ukrainian attack is true, then in fact, the EU has already gone to war against Russia.
