If you can consider a RINO warmonger like Thom Tillis‚ a Republican‚ then you can say a bipartisan delegation of US senators officially visited Hungary’s capital on Sunday. It’s more like a Uniparty delegation. In addition to Thom Tillis (NC)‚ Democrats Janine Sheen (NH) and Chris Murphy (CT) accompanied him to Budapest.

Robert Downey Jr. made a dig at the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) during his acceptance speech at the 2024 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards ceremony.  The 58-year-old was accepting the Best Supporting Actor award for his portrayal of villainous politician Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s highly lauded drama‚ “Oppenheimer.” Downey Jr. referenced the difference in this role compared to his best-known role as Tony Stark in the MCU. “I played a guy named Tony in the MCU for about 12 years‚” he said from the stage “Recently‚ [Nolan] suggested I attempt an understated approach as a last-ditch effort to perhaps resurrect my dwindling credibility.” The Golden Globe-winning actor made multiple appearances as Tony Stark‚ also known as Iron Man‚ between 2008 and 2019‚ playing the character in the “Iron Man” trilogy and all four “Avengers” films. He’s credited with helping make Marvel into a money-making machine. Downey Jr. told The New York Times in 2023 that he’d been nervous about taking on the demanding “Oppenheimer” part due to the types of movies he’d been in previously. “You start to wonder if a muscle you have hasn’t atrophied‚” the actor told the outlet at the time. “I knew there was a point where Chris Nolan was endorsing‚ let’s work those other muscles‚ but let’s do it while rendering you devoid of your usual go-to things‚” Downey Jr. added. His remarks come on the heels of several high-profile superhero movie flops. This genre churned out massive hits for years‚ but recent releases have underperformed‚ leaving industry insiders wondering if audiences are sick of superhero films in general.  In November‚ the female-led film “The Marvels” earned just $47 million domestically over opening weekend‚ making it the lowest-ever opening for a Marvel movie. And it’s not just the MCU suffering. “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” was yet another box office disappointment for comic book films‚ bringing in just over $40 million over the extended four-day Christmas holiday weekend. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Captain America: A Brave New World‚” “Thunderbolts‚” and “Blade” were all originally slated for 2024 but are being pushed to 2025. This is being blamed on strike-related production delays but could also be the result of poor box office numbers for similar movies.  The only Marvel release scheduled for 2024 is “Deadpool 3.” Upcoming DC projects include “Joker: Folie á Deux‚” which will debut in November 2024‚ and “Superman: Legacy‚” which will hit theaters in July 2025.

A global study that looked at medical issues among nearly 100 million people who received the COVID vaccine found a higher-than-expected increase in neurological- and heart-related problems following the shot.  The Global Vaccine Data Network’s (GVDN) COVID Vaccine Safety study‚ which was the largest safety research conducted on COVID vaccines to date‚ found a higher risk of myocarditis than was expected from mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer‚ BioNTech‚ and Moderna‚ Bloomberg reported. The study also found an increased risk of a type of blood clot in the brain in people who received viral-vector vaccines‚ such as the one developed by the University of Oxford and produced by AstraZeneca.  “The size of the population in this study increased the possibility of identifying rare potential vaccine safety signals‚” said Kristýna Faksová‚ the lead author of the study who works for the Department of Epidemiology Research at Statens Serum Institut in Denmark‚ according to The New York Post. “Single sites or regions are unlikely to have a large enough population to detect very rare signals.” GVDN is a New Zealand-based group that describes itself as “a multinational‚ investigator-led research network with primary interests in the area of vaccine safety and effectiveness.” Researchers with GVDN looked at 13 medical conditions that they considered “adverse events of special interest” in 99 million vaccinated people throughout eight different countries: Argentina‚ Australia‚ Canada‚ Denmark‚ Finland‚ France‚ New Zealand‚ and Scotland. The study’s most consistent finding was inflammation of the heart muscle‚ also known as myocarditis‚ after each of the first three doses of mRNA vaccines‚ Bloomberg reported.  Researchers also found a “significant increase” increase in Guillain-Barre syndrome within the first 42 days of an initial AstraZeneca vaccine. Guillain-Barre syndrome is an autoimmune disorder where an immune system attacks its body’s nerves‚ according to the Mayo Clinic.  “In its most severe form Guillain-Barre syndrome is a medical emergency‚” the Mayo Clinic says. “Most people with the condition must be hospitalized to receive treatment.”  The study then identified possible safety signals for spinal cord inflammation following viral-vector vaccine injections. Potential safety signals were also identified in the study for inflammation and swelling in the brain and spinal cord after both viral-vector and mRNA vaccines.  Jacob Glanville‚ the CEO of biotech company Centivaix‚ responded to the study’s findings‚ telling Fox News that while the vaccines have potential adverse effects‚ getting immunized against COVID is still the “safer choice.”  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “This study is confirming in a much larger cohort what has been previously identified in the original studies during the pandemic — myocarditis and pericarditis as a rare side effect of mRNA vaccines and clots as a rare side effect of the viral vectored vaccines‚” said Glanville‚ who was not involved in the study. “The odds of all of these adverse events is still much‚ much higher when infected with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)‚ so getting vaccinated is still by far the safer choice‚” Glanville added. The GVDN study was published in the medical journal “Vaccine” last week. Nearly 14 billion doses of COVID vaccines have been administered globally since they were first rolled out in December 2020. The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to tout COVID vaccines as “safe and effective.” The WHO says that “In 2021 alone‚ COVID-19 vaccines saved an estimated 14.4 million lives worldwide‚” and the CDC recommends that everyone six months and older receive the vaccine.  GVDN’s Global COVID Vaccine Safety Project is part of a larger initiative that is supported by the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services‚ and several of the study’s authors receive financial support from federal government agencies‚ including the CDC‚ the New Zealand Ministry of Health‚ and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research‚ The Hill reported. The outlet added that some of the study’s authors also reported having previously been paid by pharmaceutical companies Gilead Sciences Inc.‚ AbbVie Inc.‚ Pfizer‚ and GlaxoSmithKline.
