The header image for today’s offering is courtesy of Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. 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. Note: there is AI-generated material in The Focal Points and the 2nd Smartest Guy In The World articles in today’s offering. If readers wish to post AI-generated material in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you. Special thanks to our “sister blog”, https://www.marica1776.com/, for some of the items in today’s offering.

A personal note: On this date in 1947, a man named Samuel, and a woman named Catherine, were married at 10:30AM in a church ceremony in Pittsburgh, PA. It was a Thursday. They left right after the wedding breakfast for their two-and-a-half day honeymoon at Niagara Falls, NY. Samuel had to be back at work the following Monday as a pharmacist’s apprentice while finishing his studies at Pharmacy school; and, Catherine also had to be back at work the following Monday as a secretary. They set up housekeeping in their first home: a two-room apartment (with a shared bathroom) in a reconverted old house in the Shadyside section of Pittsburgh. Samuel and Catherine were Yours Truly’s parents. I believe they’re having a wonderful time together in the next world. Love you, Daddy and Mother. Miss you. Thank you — Thank you.

Some Interesting Items from the plethora of news out there:

Ebola:

**** From The Focal Points: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/nih-ebola-expert-under-fbi-investigation, “NIH Ebola Expert Under FBI Investigation for Smuggling Pathogens Into America From the Congo”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 20 May 2026. It appears that Dr. Vincent Munster, returning from a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (and accompanied by another NIH employee), was detained at the airport when returning to the United States for attempting to bring undeclared dangerous pathogens back in his luggage. Dr. Munster’s lab at the NIH “specialized” in the study of, and experimentation with, the Ebola virus. He is also one of the co-authors of the rejected 2018 DEFUSE proposal — along with Dr. Peter Daszak AND Dr. Ralph Baric. Please see the article for more information. There is also an interview with Mr. Hulscher that is included. (Yours Truly: One wonders if the situation with Dr. Munster could be a “data point” in the “sudden resignation” of the now-former Acting Director of the NIAID — Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger, the Fauci acolyte and “inventor” of the “Universal Influenza Vaccine” in 2020 [while Dr. Taubenberger was working at the NIH]: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2026-05-22.acting-niaid-chief-steps-down-amid-ebola-hantavirus-concerns.)

**** Again, from The Focal Points: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/the-bedrock-of-containment-why-sanitation, “The Bedrock of Containment: Why Sanitation is the Key to Controlling Ebola”. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, 25 May 2026. The scientific paper referred to in the article is here: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-8240-9. “Hygiene programming during outbreaks: a qualitative case study of the humanitarian response during the Ebola outbreak in Liberia”; Alexandra Czerniewska and Sian White. 2020.

**** And, last but not least, the involvement in Ebola virus experiments by the now-fired (“retired” for “no reason disclosed”) and disgraced “Eminence Grise” of the COVID-19 disaster: Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD; experiments that used Gain-of-Function techniques. Dr. Baric authored the following papers: the first, at approximately the same time that the 2014 Ebola outbreak was raging; the second, in 2024: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4241145/, “Host genetic diversity enables Ebola hemorrhagic fever pathogenesis and resistance”; Ralph Baric, PhD, et al. 30 October 2014; and, https://doi.org/1016/j.celrep.2024.114127, “Mapping of susceptibility loci for Ebola virus pathogenesis in mice”; Ralph Baric, PhD, et al. 28 May 2024.

Ticks:

**** From The Focal Points: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/study-tick-borne-alpha-gal-syndrome, “STUDY: Tick-Borne Alpha-Gal Syndrome Incidence Skyrocketed 9,800% in the U.S. Since 2013”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 22 May 2026. Please see the screenshot, below, from his article:

**** From 2nd Smartest Guy In The World: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/lyme-and-lone-star-bioweapon-diseases-33d, “LYME & LONE STAR BIOWEAPON DISEASES UPDATE: “This Tick Thing is Nuts” & Since 2013 Alpha-Gal Syndrome Incidence Skyrocketed 9,800%”, 24 May 2026. This article quotes the Hulscher post cited above, and also includes more information from other sources.

**** “And now, for something completely different”: the “contrarian view” from Sasha Latypova: https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/trick-ticks-fear-porn-to-cover-up, “Weaponized Ticks!!!, a mini review”, 25 May 2026. Ms. Latypova argues that Alpha-Gal Syndrome is actually caused by immune system damage induced by vaccines.

Yours Truly will weigh in on the latter: One: there has been a huge increase in reported diagnoses of Alpha-Gal Syndrome since the rollout of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” in 2021. Two: the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” induce or aggravate multiple types of immune and/or autoimmune disorders: see https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, regarding BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY), FDA date-stamped 30 April 2021; scroll down to the Appendix 1. List of Adverse Events of Special Interest section of this report. “Autoimmune disorder”; “Complement factor C1 decreased”; Complement factor C2 decreased”; Complement factor C3 decreased”; Complement factor C4 decreased” are among the listings. The Complement factors C1 to C4 are crucial proteins in the innate immune system. Decreases / deficiencies in any or all of these complement factors will create dysfunction / malfunction of the innate immune system, inducing conditions ranging from angioedema to recurrent infections to neurological conditions, and more. Three: Please see: https://www.annalallergy.org/article/S1081-1206(23)00002-9/fulltext, “Alpha-Gal Syndrome is an immunoparasitologic disease”, John C. Carlson, MD, PhD, April 2023. Four: there may well also be the involvement of other types of “vaccines” (in other words, non-COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”) in damage to the innate immune system.

MAiD: It appears that the use of this “assisted suicide” protocol in Canada is “expanding”:

Inflammatory bowel disease is treatable and manageable: https://www.cdc.gov/inflammatory-bowel-disease/living-with/index.html. By the way, “Inflammatory bowel disease” is ALSO LISTED in the Appendix 1. section of the BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY) report cited above: it can therefore be an adverse event of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” Note: some media outlets (for example, https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/germany-and-canada-go-full-1984-daily), state that the man (in his 40s) suffered from Crohn’s Disease, mental health issues, and substance abuse issues — all of which are treatable and manageable: and is ALSO LISTED as an adverse event of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”, per the BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY) report cited above.

And, last but not least, THIS insanity, in OREGON:

A petition is now the November ballot in Oregon that, if passed, would criminalize the killing of any animal (including fish and other marine life) for food; would ban pest and insect control; would criminalize and ban the teaching of these practices; and more. Enough signatures have been obtained to put this madness up for a vote:

The original KATU story is here: https://katu.com/news/local/people-for-the-elimination-of-animal-cruelty-exemption-controversial-petition-aims-criminalize-ban-hunting-fishing-pest-control-oregon, Victor Park, 16 February 2026. Please see the screenshot, below, from the article:
