Reports are blaming “complacency” and low vaccination rates among seniors, with warnings that the new strain efficiently evades prior immunity. Is this a genuine health threat, or is the establishment laying the groundwork for another season of fear-mongering and mRNA vaccine pushes? Independent journalist Naomi Wolf joins Dr. Drew to discuss the timing of this new media narrative, the ongoing revelations from the Pfizer Papers, and RFK Jr.’s fight against federal health bureaucrats. Veteran emergency physician Dr. Mark Trozzi breaks down the alarming realities of COVID-19 injections, autopsy reports on myocarditis, and why the medical establishment continues to push outdated solutions. Naomi Wolf, Ph.D., is an independent journalist and co-founder/CEO of DailyClout.io. She edited The Pfizer Papers (with Amy Kelly) and authored Facing the Beast: Courage, Faith and Resistance in a New Dark Age and War Room / DailyClout Pfizer Documents Analysis Volunteers’ Reports eBook.
