Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of COVID-19, it is dedicated to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered illness, injury, disability, or death from either an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself; or, from illness, injury, disability, or death, induced by the COVID-19 “vaccines” that were injected into their body.

There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content; to the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in the discussion thread of today’s offering, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering follows a different path.

In the performing arts world, a “set piece” is a detailed design for a production. Set pieces are designed for plays, for musical theater productions, for movies, for dance or ballet productions, for opera and other large Classical music productions, and so on. Set pieces can be elaborate, or they can be “bare-bones” simple. Sometimes, there are multiple set pieces created for the production; sometimes, there are only one or two set pieces; sometimes, set pieces are built on revolving stage areas and are “rotated” according to the scene or act in the production; sometimes, extra items, such as water (in pools, as waterfalls, etc.) are incorporated into a set piece (think Esther Williams swimming movies); and so on. However, the set piece (or, set pieces) all serve to help the framework of the production and the intention behind the plot, script, or and/or music of the work. And, set pieces are designed — in almost all cases, they are not “thrown together” at the last minute; one exception is the performance of pure “improv” (improvisation; many improv performances use props only, not set pieces.)

Examples of performing arts “set pieces” of various types are below:

From Giacomo Puccini’s opera, Tosca, the final scene, in which Tosca leaps to her death from the parapets of the Castel Sant’Angelo to escape capture after she killed her tormentor, Baron Scarpia. Courtesy of the Metropolitan Opera, 2024-2025 season:

Yours Truly will note that the “other side” of the Castel Sant’Angelo set piece has multiple layers of foam pads, trained stage technicians, and first-aid personnel on hand to make quite sure that the singer playing Tosca lands safely. The “leap scene” rehearsal related to the Metropolitan Opera 2024 – 2025 season production is on video, here: https://www.facebook.com/MetOpera/videos/puccini-tosca-jump-rehearsal/568495235373588/.

“Set Pieces” in the COVID-19 disaster:

In the COVID-19 disaster, there have been well-designed, elaborate “set pieces” employed, such as: the “mandating” of lockdowns; the “universal masking”; the deliberate withholding of important information from then-President Donald Trump 45 regarding the ingredients and mechanisms of the COVID-19 “vaccines” in development during “Operation Warp Speed; the subsequent rollout of the COVID-19 “vaccines”; the marginalizing and ostracizing of those who had any reservations about the “safety and efficacy” of these “vaccines”; the persecution / prosecution / loss of medical licenses, of those who began to investigate and to write about the dangers and deadliness of these “vaccines” — for only a few examples. These “set pieces” affected millions of people, who were coerced and/or gaslighted-frightened into being “actors” (such as, standing six feet away from other persons; “following the science” and taking multiple injections of COVID-19 “vaccines”.) Others were labelled as “anti-vaxxers” because they refused to take the “vaccines.” All were, at the same time, also forced to be “spectators” (watching their children suffer from not being able to attend school during the “lockdowns”; losing jobs, family relationships, friends, and colleagues; watching COVID-19 “vaccinated” loved ones, friends, and colleagues begin to succumb to COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced injuries, illnesses, disabilities, or death.)

It appears that new “set pieces” regarding the COVID-19 “vaccines” in the United States are being created and put into place. One such new “set piece” involves, among other items, the 19 September 2025 ACIP “recommendation” that COVID-19 “vaccine” administration be restricted to persons age 65 and over; and, to persons who are deemed to be at “high risk of severe complications from a COVID-19 infection”, as per the FDA’s “new approach”, outlined here: https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929, “An Evidence-Based Approach to Covid-19 Vaccination”, Martin Makary, MD MPH, and Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH, published 20 May 2025. Figure 2 from this “opinion piece”, which lists the populations of Americans at “high risk”, and should therefore take a COVID-19 “vaccine”, is below. Note: the age 65 and older category is already “assumed” to be a high risk:

The CDC’s ACIP group “recommendations” from the September 2025 meeting are summarized here: https://www.hhw.gov/press-room/acip-recommends-covid-19-vaccination-individual-decision-making.html. A screenshot from this article is below:

However, “individual decision-making” runs counter to what “Establishment Medicine” organizations, such as the AMA, advises physicians to do. For example, in the AMA podcast interview with Sean O’Leary, MD, published 30 April 2025, found here: https://edhub.ama-assn-org/jn-learning/audio-player/18969411, “Strategies for Talking With Parents About Vaccines.” This audio interview is a must-listen. Dr. O’Leary describes the AMA “talking points” regarding pushing “vaccination” for young children (including newborns) along the lines of “presumptive” (“your child is due now to have X vaccines”) discussion with parents, as opposed to “participatory” (“what do you think about vaccination?”) discussion with parents. Dr. O’Leary makes it clear that “presumptive” discussion results in more agreement from the parents to have their young children “vaccinated.” Dr. O’Leary also speaks about “pre-bunking”, the process of minimizing / dismissing “vaccine misinformation” or “vaccine disinformation” from “anti-vaxxers”; instead, the physician is urged to “steer” the “vaccine”-hesitant or “vaccine”-questioning parent to “trusted websites” like the ones from the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics, which endorses “vaccination” of all kinds for children, including from birth, and including the COVID-19 “vaccines.”) In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics https://www.aap.org/ has issued its own “recommended childhood vaccine schedule”, in contravention to the revised Childhood Immunization Schedule of the CDC. Below are screenshots of the “AAP recommended vaccines”, the “AAP recommended vaccination schedule”, and, the “AAP recommended vaccination schedule by medical condition”, below:

Note that the COVID-19 “vaccines” are “recommended” by the AAP for all children ages 6 months and older — for healthy children; for immunocompromised children; and, for children with heart disease, and other medical conditions.

Another “set piece” was added this week: the email from Jack Leeming, an “editor” at the journal Nature, that he sent to selected blog authors at Substack. These blog authors work every day to investigate and write about the dangers and deadliness of the COVID-19 “vaccines.” Among the blog authors contacted by Jack Leeming are: Sasha Latypova; Alex Berenson; and, Dr. Peter A. McCulloug, MD. In this email, Leeming is requesting their “input” before Nature publishes a “hit piece” on them. Apparently, this “hit piece” will try to do the following:

Defame Substack blog authors who are doing all they can to spread the actual truth about the dangers and deadliness of the COVID-19 “vaccines”;

Pressure Substack into imposing “content moderation” (translation: censorship) of these blogs;

Pressure Substack into “de-monetizing” these blogs.

Pressure Substack into showcasing “COVID-19 vaccine friendly” blogs.

Sasha Latypova wrote about the email she received from Leeming. Please see: https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/journal-nature-is-planning-a-hit, “Journal Nature is planning a hit piece about me. This is my response to their “request for comment.””, 1 October 2025. A screenshot of Leeming’s email to her, via her blog article, is below:

Ms. Latypova’s reply, which is also in her article, takes Leeming and his email apart. A portion of her reply is in the screenshot below:

All of the above begs the questions: Who (and/or What) are in the “Control Booth” regarding the “set pieces” of the COVID-19 disaster? Who (and/or What) are telling those in the “Control Booth” what to do?

THE COVID-19 “VACCINES” — ALL OF THEM — MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND FROM USE. NOW.

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.
