## About this episode

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warns that pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Moderna are aggressively pursuing the addition of COVID-19 vaccines to the childhood immunization schedule to secure permanent liability protection under the PREP Act. This move comes as the Omicron variant surges through highly vaccinated populations, including a 60% infection rate among the San Francisco Fire Department. Meanwhile, the FDA faces scrutiny over the Pfizer pediatric clinical trial after participant Maddie de Garay suffered severe neurological injuries that critics claim were misreported as a simple stomach ache.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky recently admitted that the reduction of quarantine periods to five days was driven by behavioral science and airline industry staffing needs rather than strictly clinical data. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resisted new lockdowns despite data suggesting triple-vaccinated individuals may be more susceptible to Omicron than the unvaccinated. Global tensions rise as China hoards over 50% of the world's grain supply, causing a 30% spike in food prices, while the Israeli National Security Council takes control of a massive H5N1 bird flu outbreak in the Galilee region. Domestic legal battles intensify following the sex trafficking conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell and the ongoing fraud deliberations for Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.

This year-end retrospective features a deep dive into the Jimmy Dore Show supercut of Pfizer-sponsored news segments and the viral Amazon Alexa penny challenge. Sir Animus and Sir Infinitis join the honorary knighthood as the show explores the decentralization of the Fediverse following a No Agenda Social outage. The program concludes with a musical montage of listener-produced parodies including the First Amendment Absolutist anthem.

Reports indicate that China is hoarding over 50% of the world's grain supply, including 69% of maize and 51% of wheat reserves. This massive stockpiling by the state-owned COFCO Group is being blamed for a 30% rise in global food prices and worsening famine conditions in developing nations.
