just now (517+ words) An internal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) memo obtained by The Epoch Times reveals that career scientists in the agency's vaccine-safety offices have identified "no fewer than 10" child deaths they consider related to COVID-19 vaccination. It details findings from a review conducted by staff in the Office of Biostatistics and Pharmacovigilance, which examined 96 death reports voluntarily submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) between 2021 and 2024 and concluded that at least 10 met criteria for a likely, probable, or possible causal link to COVID-19 vaccination. According to the memo, the true number of vaccine-related child deaths is "certainly an underestimate" because VAERS relies on passive, voluntary reporting and because analysts used "conservative coding" that tended to rule out the vaccine when ambiguity existed. The memo states that CBER's leadership only initiated the internal review in 2025 after staff physician Dr. Tracy…...

51+ min ago (377+ words) Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, have shown impressive protective effects for the heart and kidneys. In healthy kidneys, SGLT2 reabsorbs about 97% of filtered glucose in the early sections of the proximal tubule, while SGLT1 picks up the rest in the later segment. In a recent rat study, scientists found that blocking both SGLT1 and SGLT2 worked better than blocking SGLT2 alone for treating high blood pressure caused by too much salt and for preventing kidney damage. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2025, held from November 59. Salt-sensitive hypertension is a form of high blood pressure triggered by excess salt intake. It affects nearly half of those with high blood pressure and plays a major role in worsening kidney disease, increasing heart complications, and pushing patients toward kidney failure. Specifically, dual inhibition with sotagliflozin led to greater reductions in mean…...

1+ hour, 12+ min ago (495+ words) A new study has found that a small change in routine could make a big difference for people with high blood pressure. Researchers from the University of Vigo and other institutions discovered that taking blood pressure medicine before going to bed, instead of in the morning, can help control blood pressure better and reduce the risk of serious heart problems. The study followed more than 19,000 people over a long period of time. These participants were asked to take their blood pressure medication either when they woke up or at bedtime. The researchers then tracked them for more than six years. Each year, they checked the patients" blood pressure over 48-hour periods. This helped them see how the timing of medication affected long-term heart health. The results were very clear. People who took their medication at night had much better outcomes…...

1+ hour, 17+ min ago (471+ words) A major study from Columbia University has given doctors and patients new insights into treating high blood pressure. Over a span of 17 years, researchers studied more than 730,000 people who were using two common medications: chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide. Both drugs are used to lower high blood pressure and help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and hospital stays for heart failure. But this study found some important differences between them, especially when it comes to safety. Chlorthalidone has been known as a powerful drug for controlling blood pressure. However, researchers found that people taking it had a much higher chance of developing low potassium levels in their blood, a condition called hypokalemia. Potassium is very important for your muscles and heart to work properly. When your potassium levels drop too low, it can cause serious problems like an irregular heartbeat, confusion, or even…...

2+ hour, 38+ min ago (526+ words) A senior Food and Drug Administration official on Friday said the agency will change its vaccine approval process, alleging that Covid-19 vaccination resulted in the deaths of 10 children. In an internal memo obtained by CNN, Dr. Vinay Prasad " the FDA's chief medical and scientific officer and the director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research " claimed, "Healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death were coerced, at the behest of the Biden administration, via school and work mandates, to receive a vaccine that could result in death." Prasad did not provide details about the deaths or how the FDA came to that conclusion, but pointed to "an initial analysis" that examined 96 deaths and linked 10 to the Covid-19 vaccination. He also claimed that Covid-19 "was never highly lethal for children" and that the effects of it "are comparable…...
