Finland plans to extend the right to administer vaccines to dentists and pharmacists, among others. The move is aimed at streamlining the country’s vaccination process to meet future needs.
In Finland, vaccinations are currently administered only by physicians or by nurses, public health nurses and midwives who have undergone vaccination training. The government is now proposing to extend this right to dentists, pharmacists, community nurses, laboratory nurses and primary care nurses. In the future, these professionals will no longer be required to undergo the specific vaccination training that is otherwise mandatory after graduation.
The reason for this change is the shortage of health care workers in Finland, which affects vaccination rates. The aim is to improve the efficiency of covid-19 and influenza vaccinations in particular.
– Our goal with the change is to make it easier and faster to get vaccines. We also want to address the workforce shortage. The change is also a way to prepare for future epidemics,says Minister of Social Security Sanni Grahn-Laasonen in a press release.
However, the new professionals will not be allowed to vaccinate children, as the vaccination of minors requires special skills. This also applies to covid-19 vaccinations.
A special additional training under the guidance of the responsible physician will be introduced for these professionals in order to prepare them for future vaccination tasks.

The US Department of Health and Human Services is halting the development of experimental mRNA vaccines. 22 contracts worth nearly $500 million are being terminated, citing that the technology poses significantly greater risks than benefits.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. states that the decision was made following scientific reviews and consultations with experts at research institutions including the NIH and the FDA.
— One mutation, and the vaccine becomes ineffective. This dynamic drives a phenomenon called antigenic shift, meaning that the vaccine paradoxically encourages new mutations and can actually prolong pandemics as the virus constantly mutates to escape the protective effects of the vaccine Kennedy explains.
He particularly highlights the Omicron variant as an example of how mRNA vaccines failed to halt transmission despite widespread vaccination.
— A single mutation can make mRNA vaccines ineffective, the health secretary states, noting that “the same risk applies to flu”.
We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted. BARDA is terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu.

According to Kennedy, the department’s conclusion is clear: the risks of mRNA technology outweigh the benefits when it comes to respiratory viruses.
— After reviewing the science, and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA, HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses.
Instead, the department will prioritize what Kennedy calls “safer, broader vaccine strategies”, such as traditional whole-virus vaccines and new platforms “that don’t collapse when viruses mutate”.
HHS clarifies that certain contracts already in final stages will be allowed to run their course, but no new mRNA projects will be initiated. BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority), the federal agency responsible for advanced biomedical development, is now tasked with focusing on techniques “with stronger safety records and transparent clinical and manufacturing data practices”.
Critics were labeled conspiracy theorists
Many analysts warned early on that mRNA vaccines posed serious health risks, but were routinely dismissed as conspiracy theorists by both politicians and mainstream media.
Over time, however, a large number of serious vaccine injuries and deaths have been reported, particularly in connection with the extensive COVID-19 vaccination campaigns.
The criticism has not only concerned safety itself, but also the lack of long-term studies and authorities’ inadequate handling of adverse event reports. Against this backdrop, Kennedy’s announcement is seen by many as a long-awaited course correction.
Changed policy for children and pregnant women
The decision to halt mRNA contracts is not the only change. In recent weeks, Kennedy has also taken initiatives to remove the mercury compound thimerosal from influenza vaccines, in accordance with recommendations from the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
He also welcomed the decision to no longer recommend COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women.
— There was a lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children, he stated.
An anesthesiologist with 20 years of experience told US senators how he developed a life-threatening lung disease after covid-19 vaccination. Dr. Robert Sullivan was one of the witnesses in a Senate hearing on vaccine injuries held by the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee organized a hearing on July 15 titled “Voices of the Vaccine Injured” where people who claim to have been injured by covid-19 vaccines were able to share their experiences. Dr. Robert Sullivan, a licensed physician and certified anesthesiologist with over 20 years of active practice in Maryland, was one of the key witnesses.
Dr. Sullivan described a dramatic change in his health condition after vaccination. The same month he received his first mRNA dose, he had been featured in the Wall Street Journal’s fitness column for his aerial circus performances.
— I was strong, healthy, and thriving. Just three weeks after my second dose, I couldn’t go up a flight of stairs without gasping for air, Sullivan told the senators.
The doctor developed constant chest pain, heart arrhythmias and overwhelming fatigue. An echocardiogram later confirmed damage to his heart and lungs.
— The diagnosis was pulmonary hypertension. I had damage and narrowing of the blood vessels in my lungs, restricting blood flow and straining the heart. This isn’t like regular high blood pressure. Pulmonary hypertension is usually progressive and fatal even with treatment. There is no cure, Sullivan explained.
The system didn’t respond
Dr. Sullivan reported his injury to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), the US system for reporting vaccine adverse events. Despite VAERS collecting his medical records, he never heard from the US health authorities FDA or CDC.
— I believed in the system. I believed I would be heard. When I wasn’t, I channeled that disbelief into collaborating with the British Medical Journal on a report about the system’s failures. What I learned is chilling. If you are harmed, you are on your own., Sullivan said.
He explained that most doctors he knows have never heard of VAERS, and even fewer understand that there are mandatory reporting requirements. Sullivan was never taught about VAERS during his medical education and stated that it still isn’t taught.
Research predicted the problems
During his own research, Dr. Sullivan discovered that a scientist from Georgetown University had predicted exactly his type of injury in the same month the vaccines began rolling out.
— He warned that spike protein, exposure, whether from the virus or from the shot, could harm the blood vessels in the lungs and placenta, Sullivan recounted.
The doctor referenced studies showing that spike protein from the SARS-1 virus also caused vascular damage in animals, and that many hospitalized covid patients develop pulmonary hypertension.
Broad vaccination perspective despite personal injury
When Senator Johnson asked about doctors’ attitudes toward vaccines, Dr. Sullivan surprised by explaining that he is still “enthusiastic about vaccination” and that he sees covid injections as something entirely different.
— I’m not vaccine injured. I’m injured by an mRNA therapeutic. I was very careful in my testimony to use the word shot, Sullivan clarified.
He explained that training for vaccines is now limited to memorizing the schedule, but that the hidden cost of injuries is not studied or taught.
Spike protein toxicity
Senator Johnson raised the question of spike protein toxicity and criticized that many symptoms are now attributed to “long covid” instead of potential vaccine side effects.
— There are many ways to lose with this new MRI technology. There are problems with the nanoparticle. There is a separate set of problems with synthetic mRNA. It persists in some people 700 days and counting now, Dr. Sullivan responded.
He explained that when the body is instructed to manufacture a protein that is presented on the cell surface, it creates a precondition for autoimmune disorders, and that the spike protein itself is biologically active.
— It was published in December 2020, although not widely known, that that was causing damage to placenta and to lung, Sullivan added.
Dr. Sullivan concluded his testimony with an appeal for recognition and transparent information for patients, emphasizing the importance of truly informed consent in all medical treatment.
Turkish researchers have discovered that Pfizer’s covid-19 vaccine can cause changes in the eye’s cornea that could potentially lead to vision problems. The study, which followed 64 people over three months, shows that the vaccine can make the cornea thicker and reduce the number of important cells that keep vision clear.
The researchers measured changes in the cornea’s inner layer, the endothelium, before the first vaccine dose and two months after the second dose. The results showed that both doses led to thicker corneas, fewer endothelial cells, and greater variation in cell size.
Specifically, corneal thickness increased from 528 to 542 micrometers – an increase of approximately two percent. At the same time, the number of endothelial cells decreased from 2,597 to 2,378 cells per square millimeter, a loss of about eight percent.
“The endothelium should be closely monitored in those with low endothelial cell counts or who have undergone corneal transplantation,” the researchers warn in the study published in the journal Ophthalmic Epidemiology.
Short-term impact without symptoms
In the short term, the changes suggest that Pfizer’s vaccine may temporarily weaken the endothelium, even though patients did not experience any clear vision problems during the study period. For people with healthy eyes, these small changes are unlikely to affect vision immediately.
However, if the changes persist for several years, they could lead to corneal swelling or blurred vision, particularly in people with existing eye problems or those who have undergone corneal transplantation. A thicker cornea and reduced cell density can contribute to conditions such as corneal edema or corneal decompensation, which in severe cases can cause permanent vision loss.
Need for long-term studies
The research team emphasizes the importance of long-term studies to see if the changes persist months and years after vaccination. An ophthalmologist can use special microscopy to check if someone has a low endothelial cell count.
The study adds to a growing list of concerns regarding Pfizer’s covid vaccine. In May, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) forced Pfizer and Moderna to expand warning labels about risks of heart damage, particularly for men between 16 and 25 years old.
Joshua Rys, a leading regulatory researcher at pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (J&J), now confirms on hidden camera what mainstream media dismissed as "conspiracy theories".
"Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products?" Rys asks rhetorically in the clip, among other things.
The slogans "safe and effective" that surrounded the mass vaccination campaign were, in his view, a direct lie from the authorities.
"This was just, let's test it on some lab route models, analyze and see if it works and stuff like that, and just roll it to the wind and see what happens", he adds.
Joshua Rys leads the creation and implementation of regulatory strategies for new and existing products within Johnson & Johnson in his role.
— We run the whole soup to nuts. Not only are we working on the products, but everything that has to do with the drug. We have to make sure that you understand how to use the drug, how to be able to prescribe certain pieces of information, how to communicate that to the patient, he explains his role.
In front of independent journalist James O’Keefe’s OMG hidden cameras, he confirms that Johnson & Johnson was well aware that the preparation was not safe and effective.
— Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products? You shouldn’t be surprised that this happened. It was pretty much the government kind of made a deal with pharmaceutical companies and kind of pressured the pharmaceutical companies, because we’re not going to say no to the government.
— I mean, none of that stuff was safe and effective. We didn’t do the typical test. The typical process, that’s why it takes so long to get a product on market, the typical process is all this clinical trial testing and stuff in a small population, Rys continues.
— This was just, let’s test it on some lab route models, analyze and see if it works and stuff like that, and just roll it to the wind and see what happens, he adds.
