As the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars rage on and illegal aliens cross into the U.S. through its porous border with Mexico at alarming rates‚ U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently carved out time to warn State Department staffers against "misgendering‚" National Review reported.What are the details?Blinken told employees in a Feb. 5 cable that assuming gender based on appearance “can be problematic” and sends a “harmful‚ exclusionary message" and to avoid using terms such as “mother/father‚” “son/daughter‚” and “husband/wife‚" National Review said‚ adding that it obtained the text of the “Modeling DEIA: Gender Identity Best Practices" cable and confirmed its authenticity.The outlet said Blinken's cable suggested that employees state their pronouns in email signatures and when introducing themselves in meetings “to show respect and avoid misunderstandings.” “Commonly used pronouns could include she/her‚ he/him‚ they/them‚ and ze/zir‚” the cable noted‚ according to National Review. “This is a personal decision that should be respected." More from the outlet:The cable also instructs staffers to use “gender-neutral language whenever possible.” Problematic terms like “manpower‚” “you guys‚” “ladies and gentlemen” and even “mother/father‚” “son/daughter‚” and “husband/wife” should be avoided. Better to use terms like “labor force‚” “everyone‚” “folks‚” “you all‚” and “parent‚” “child‚” and “spouse” or partner” instead‚ the cable says. “When speaking‚ avoid using phrases like ‘brave men and women on the front lines‚’” the cable adds‚ suggesting that staffers “use more specific language such as ‘brave first responders‚’ ‘brave soldiers‚’ or ‘brave DS agents.’” The cable also instructs State Department employees not to “pressure someone to state their pronouns‚” to handle mistakes with “subtlety and grace‚” and to remember that gender identity “may be fluid‚ so remain attuned to and supportive of shifts in pronouns.”National Review said the State Department replied to its request for comment saying that it doesn’t comment on leaked internal documents. How are folks reacting?Reader comments underneath National Review's report weren't exactly sympathetic to the sentiments expressed in Blinken's cable:"Blinken's pronouns are nitwit/moron‚" one commenter wrote."I’m left to wonder what any of this has to do with foreign policy‚" another commenter pointed out. "Tell the ninnies to show up for work‚ and leave their sex lives at home for the day. Or find another job.""The left is all about social deconstruction‚" another commenter opined."IDIOT. And not even remotely useful‚" another commenter declared.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Those skeptical of the assertion that COVID-19 vaccines were altogether safe and effective — a claim long advanced by once-trusted government agencies‚ pharmaceutical companies‚ and the media amidst a historic censorship campaign targeting dissenters and critics — appear to have had their doubts once again validated. A damning new peer-reviewed multinational study examining data from nearly 100 million people has not only affirmed the well-documented link between the COVID-19 vaccines and increased risk of heart conditions but has also highlighted troubling links between the AstraZeneca‚ Moderna‚ and Pfizer vaccines and medical conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome‚ brain and spinal cord inflammation‚ Bell's palsy‚ and convulsions. The study was conducted by the Global COVID Vaccine Safety Project — a Global Vaccine Data Network initiative supported by both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and Human Services — and published last week in the esteemed journal Vaccine‚ the official journal of the Japanese Society for Vaccinology. Lead author Kristýna Faksová of the Department of Epidemiology Research at the Danish State's Serum Institute was joined by researchers from various other countries including Argentina‚ Australia‚ Canada‚ Finland‚ New Zealand‚ and Scotland in assessing whether there was a greater risk of 13 neurological‚ blood‚ and heart-related medical conditions occurring following the receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine. According to the observed versus expected rates study‚ which included data on 99 million people vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 across eight countries‚ "the risk up to 42 days after vaccination was generally similar to the background risk for the majority of outcomes; however‚ a few potential safety signals were identified." "Bell's palsy had an increased OE ratio after a first dose of [Pfizer's] BNT162b2 and [Moderna's] mRNA-1273‚" said the study. "There were also increased OE ratios for febrile seizures following a first and second dose of mRNA-1273 ... and for generalized seizures following first mRNA-1273 dose and fourth BNT162b2 dose." The researchers observed a trend of Guillain-Barré syndrome and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis — a type of blood clot in the brain — cases after viral vector vaccines such as the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine‚ which Canada and European nations ditched in spring 2021 over reports of dangerous blood clots. The researchers specifically found a "statistically significant increase in GBS cases within 42 days after a first ChAdOx1 dose." Whereas they expected to find 76 GBS "events‚" they found well over twice as many. The University of Auckland‚ which hosts the Global Vaccine Data Network‚ noted that the researchers found possible "safety signals for transverse myelitis (inflammation of part of the spinal cord) after viral vector vaccines and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (inflammation and swelling in the brain and spinal cord) after viral vector and mRNA vaccines." However‚ the paper cautioned that "although some case reports have suggested a possible association between COVID-19 vaccination and ADEM‚ there was no consistent pattern in terms of vaccine or timing following vaccination‚ and larger epidemiological studies have not confirmed any potential association." The study did however confirm previously established safety signals for myocarditis and pericarditis following mRNA vaccination‚ highlighting "significantly higher risks of myocarditis following the first‚ second and third doses of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 as well as pericarditis after the first and fourth dose of mRNA-1273‚ and third dose of ChAdOx1‚ in the 0–42 days risk period." According to the study‚ "Potential underreporting across countries may have led to an underestimation of the significance of potential safety signals" for viral vector and mRNA vaccines alike. "The size of the population in this study increased the possibility of identifying rare potential vaccine safety signals‚" Faksová said in a statement. "Single sites or regions are unlikely to have a large enough population to detect very rare signals." The researchers claimed that the "safety signals identified in this study should be evaluated in the context of their rarity‚ severity‚ and clinical relevance." Additionally‚ they noted the "overall risk–benefit evaluations of vaccination should take the risk associated with infection into account‚ as multiple studies demonstrated higher risk of developing the events under study‚ such as GBS‚ myocarditis‚ or ADEM‚ following SARS-CoV-2 infection than vaccination." Blaze News reported earlier this month that a peer-reviewed study published Jan. 24 in the Springer Nature Group journal Cureus suggested the COVID-19 vaccines were a rushed product with an "unacceptable harm-to-reward ratio." The study noted that the kinds of serious adverse events that would be factored into a risk-benefit comparison "have often been wrongly ascribed to COVID-19 rather than to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations." "Misattributions of SAEs to COVID-19 often may be due to the amplification of adverse effects when mRNA injections are followed by SARS-CoV-2 subvariant infection‚" said the study. "Injuries from the mRNA products overlap with both [post-acute COVID-19 syndrome] and severe acute COVID-19 illness‚ often obscuring the vaccines' etiologic contributions." Like Blaze News?

A mob of unruly illegal migrants at a New York City migrant shelter attacked New York Police Department officers who were attempting to make an arrest on Thursday‚ according to video of the assault shared on social media. BREAKING: Illegals ass*ult NYPD officers in the Randall\u2019s Island migrant housing facility — (@) The footage captured several NYPD officers struggling to handcuff one individual who‚ according to the New York Post‚ was not supposed to be at the facility. The male suspect was reportedly asked by officials to leave the premises but refused. The two-minute video showed the suspect resisting arrest as police officers and shelter security staff attempted to keep the mob of disorderly adult male migrants under control. Many angry onlookers hurled various objects‚ including backpacks and bottles‚ at the officers while other migrants furiously shouted. At one point‚ a female officer was struck in the head by a backpack‚ the video showed. The same female officer later ducked and narrowly avoided being hit by a second bag.The suspect was ultimately carried out of the facility by several law enforcement officers guarded by the shelter's security staff. The Post reported that it is unclear what led up to the chaotic scene. The NYPD stated that no one was hospitalized as a result of the incident.Randall's Island began housing illegal migrants in August. Last month‚ a 24-year-old migrant was fatally stabbed at the shelter during an attack involving four other asylum-seekers. Progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced in late January that three men — Moises Coronado‚ 27; Ferneys Horta‚ 33; and Anthony Navas‚ 27 — were charged with first-degree manslaughter and gang assault for their alleged involvement in the murder‚ WNBC reported."As alleged‚ Dafren Canizalez was brutally killed in an attack by a group‚ who trapped and chased him until he collapsed‚" Bragg stated. "Everyone who comes into our city deserves to be safe‚ and we will continue to hold those who commit serious acts of violence accountable."Migrants residing at the makeshift shelter told the Post in January that some asylum-seekers have split into "camps" based on their ethnicity. One migrant told the Post‚ "Everyone has a knife.""There is a lot of stealing‚" another migrant claimed. "If you put your phone down or your charger for a moment‚ they take it immediately. Any of your stuff that you don't have they will take. … There is definitely camps."United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials recently stated that at least two of the illegal migrants believed to be involved in a January mob attack against two NYPD officers are members of the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua‚ Blaze News reported. The two men — Wilson Juarez‚ 21‚ and Kelvin Servita-Arocha‚ 19 — were accused of assaulting a pair of police officers in Times Square.Like Blaze News?
