Please take a moment and remember our good GA/FL (Georgia Sibyl Swink Smith), who passed away on 8 October 2025. The time, energy, and ingenunity that GA/FL invested into decades of taking care of her late daughter, “Sally Q” Smith, after the latter’s diagnosis of Friedreich’s Ataxia at the age of 14, was amazing and inspiring. Sally Q passed away from the effects of this condition on 10 May 2025. Georgia was a devout Christian. May she and her daughter rest in eternal Peace. GA/FL will be sorely missed.
Today’s offering begins here: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2025/10/04/keeping-the-elderly-sheep-in-line/, by Donald Jefferies. The article is about nursing homes. Two screenshots from his article are below:


Yours Truly comes from a birth family that, on both sides, had a horror of having to go into “a home” (“a home” was “code” for a nursing home or care facility.) Grandparents, aunts, uncles — even one’s own father — vigorously preferred to remain at home, no matter what, and stay away from congregate living of any kind. Only as a last resort, did my maternal grandmother have to go to live at a nursing home. I think she had a premonition that she would not “come out alive” from the facility. She was correct. My own brother was discharged from the hospital to a nursing home, but that, too, was under “last resort” circumstances; he, also, did not “come out alive” from the facility. In both the cases of my maternal grandmother and of my brother, there were extremely serious medical conditions which excluded their ever living at their own homes again.
Nursing homes and care / rehabilitation facilities in the United States are inspected by the state health agencies where these are located. CMS (Medicare / Medicaid) will step in if a nursing home or care facility fails to meet state inspection standards, or if complaints are filed with either the state health department or CMS regarding a nursing home or care / rehabilitation facility. Please see: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/health-safety-standards/enforcement/nursing-home-enforcement, last updated 21 April 2025.
Nursing homes and care / rehabilitation facilities in the United States were especially negatively affected by the COVID-19 disaster. During the “lockdown” period, these places became off-limits to family and friends of the residents / patients. Untold numbers of these residents / patients died alone. Untold numbers of residents / patients were injected with the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, whether they consented to this or not. According to data complied by the CDC, residents / patients of these facilities had increased risk of death if they were “vaccinated” against COVID-19: https://kirschsubstack.com/p/cdc-nursing-home-data-the-vaccine, “CDC Nursing Home Data: The vaccine increased the risk of the elderly dying from COVID”, Steve Kirsch, 5 September 2023. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:


The AMA (American Medical Association), on the other hand, made it clear, also in 2023, that deaths among the COVID-19 “vaccinated” simply underscored the “need” for persons to get a COVID-19 “vaccine booster shot”: https://www.ama-assn.org/public-health/infectious-diseases/why-covid-19-deaths-among-vaccinated-show-boosters-matter, Cynthia Cos, et al., 7 March 2023. Please see the screenshots from this article, below, in which Dr. Elaine Choi (a member of the AMA) is “explaining” why COVID-19 “vaccine booster shots” are a good thing, even though “vaccinated” persons were then dying from COVID:



Currently, the AMA, among other professional medical organizations, is speaking out regarding what they term the “new restrictions against COVID-19 vaccination” that were put into place by HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., earlier this year. One example of such “speaking out” is here: https://www.chiefhealthexecutive.com/view/defending-vaccines-ama-nursing-leaders-speak-out, Ron Southwick, 22 September 2025. There is a video embedded in the article; two screenshots from the article’s text are below:


Note the old (and misinformation) canard about “if you’re young and healthy, get a COVID-19 vaccine so your grandparents won’t get COVID” from Mensik Kennedy.
Steve Kirsch posted an article this week on his Substack blog regarding the Japan CMRR data, which proves that the more COVID-19 “vaccine” injections a person takes, the more risk that person has of dying: https://kirschsubstack.com/p/japan-cmrr-data-website-shows-clear, “Japan CMRR data website shows clear mortality increase caused by COVID shot”, 20 October 2025. Please see the screenshot from his article, below. (Note: CMRR = Cumulative Mortality Risk Ratio.) The first screenshot is of the general summary chart:

The second screenshot is from the Kirsch KCOR analysis of the Japan data, along with text summary;

Applying all of the above to persons who, for whatever reason, are residents / patients in nursing homes or care / rehabilitation facilities: How do these people, if they do NOT want to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection, make their decision clear to the staff, including to the medical staff? How are these people assured, that if they do NOT want to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection, and there is an outbreak of COVID at the facility, that they will have access to Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin D, Zinc, and other alternative treatments for prevention or treatment of a COVID infection? How are these people assured, if they do NOT want to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection, that they will NOT be moved into a “segregated area” of the facility; or, worse yet, be told (or, their family / guardian be told) that the resident / patient “has to find another facility?” The issue is compounded by the fact that almost all nursing homes and care / rehabilitation facilities receive CMS funding or payments of some kind. Also, there is the “Next Generation Gold Standard” of “evidence-based COVID-19 vaccination” guidelines that were announced and implemented by HHS / NIH / CDC / FDA earlier this year. These guidelines “recommend” that persons age 65 and older get a COVID-19 “booster shot” TWICE a year. What does this mean for the person living in a nursing home in, for example, Alabama, (a facility that receives CMS funding or payments) — a person who is competent to make their own decisions, and who decides to refuse to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection? What if that person refuses because of religious belief? What if the person refuses because the “vaccine” contains elements lab-recreated from aborted fetal blood cell lines (the HEK293 lines?) Does the facility then “have the right”, because of the “new guidelines” in the “Evidence-Based Approach to COVID-19 Vaccination” that have been implemented, to override the person’s decision and give the injection anyway? Does the facility now “have the right” to tell the person’s children / guardian that they need to “find another facility” to take the person? Please see: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-nih-announce-generation-gold-standard.html; also, https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929, “An Evidence-Based Approach to COVID-19 Vaccination”, Martin Makary, MD, MPH, and Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH. Dr. Makary is the Commissioner of the FDA; Dr. Prasad is the Director of the CBER Division of the FDA. Please see the screenshot of Figure 3 from this NEJM paper, below:

Please see the latest CDC immunization schedule recommendations for persons age 19 years and older as of 1 October 2025, here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/adult-age.html#table-age. A screenshot of the schedule is below:

In addition, please see the age 65 and older immunization schedule recommendations for other injectables on the chart above — Influenza; RSV; pneumonia; Monkeypox; Herpes Zoster (“Shingles”); Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B; and more.
There is now supposed to be “Shared Clinical Decision-Making” between patient and healthcare provider regarding the COVID-19 “vaccines” for persons age 19 and above. Does that also apply across the board to persons living in nursing homes or care / rehabilitation facilities who are competent, but the facility they reside or stay in is also receiving CMS and/or Medicare-Medicaid payments?
There are multiple “Notes” sections regarding the administration of the other “vaccines” listed above in persons age 65 and older (and, in some cases, age 60 and older.) These “Notes” are found here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/adult-notes.html#note-covid-19; please scroll down this webpage and click on the topic to read about, such as, “Influenza vaccination.” There are multiple “vaccines” that are considered to be “routine”, such as the influenza “vaccine”, the RSV “vaccine”, and so on. What if a person living in a nursing home or care / rehabilitation facility decides to refuse all of these “routine” injectables, or decides to take only one or two? What happened to “Shared Clinical Decision-Making” in regards to this? Especially in light of new research that proves, for example, that the pneumonia “vaccines” actually increase the risk of contracting pneumonia and dying from said infection? Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-223-million-person-study, “BREAKING: 2.23 Million Person Study Finds Pneumococcal Vaccines Increase Risk of Pneumonia and Death”, Nicolas Hulscher, 22 October 2025.
And, what about the COVID-19 “vaccinated” personnel (administration staff; doctors; nurses; CNAs / PCAs; facility maintenance staff; kitchen staff, etc.) who work at these nursing homes or care / rehab facilities? What about the “downstream Medical Tsunami” of negative effects on them of the “vaccines” that they took, which will present at some point, if not already? What about potential staff loss / turnover?
And, what about the vast majority of the adult children of these residents / patients, who are themselves also COVID-19 “vaccinated” — including the adult children who have already taken multiple injections of these “vaccines?” What about the “downstream Medical Tsunami” of negative effects on them of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they took, which will present at some point, if not already?
And, what about the potential for another “pandemic emergency” being declared (including from some type of Avian Influenza outbreak) that “mandates” another round of “lockdowns”, which would effect nursing homes or care / rehab facilities?
In Yours Truly’s opinion, these are all things that need to be brought into the daylight and discussed. They represent another “ripple effect” aspect of the ongoing disaster of COVID-19.
THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.
THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.
