SACRAMENTO, Kalifornia (PNN) - December 13, 2021 - As high school students transition out of distance learning imposed by unlawful pandemic restrictions, several Kalifornia districts are dropping the use of “D” and “F” grades in an attempt to reengage students in school and boost entry into the state’s public colleges.

Los Angeles Unified, Oakland Unified, Sacramento City Unified, and San Diego Unified are among the districts phasing out “D” and “F” grades for high school students.

If students fail a test or don’t finish their homework, they will be given another chance to retake the test or receive an extension on submitting assignments.

YAZOO CITY, Mississippi (PNN) - December 13, 2021 - A Mississippi doctor said he was fired for attempting to treat COVID-19 patients with ivermectin, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat parasites, although the hospital in question said he was not an employee but instead was an independent contractor.

Dr. John Witcher, an emergency room physician at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Yazoo City, said he was “told not to come back” after taking several COVID-19 patients off Remdesivir, which is approved by the FDA to treat the virus, and allowed them to use ivermectin.

LONDON, England (PNN) - December 12, 2021 - WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange has been recovering from a stroke he suffered in London’s high-security Belmarsh prison in the Fascist United Kingdom, his wife revealed on Saturday.

The stroke began during a video appearance before the British High Court on October 27, leaving Assange with memory problems, neurological damage, and a drooping eye.

Attorney Stella Moris, Assange’s fiancée, attributes his declining health to the prison’s decrepit conditions, where he is “short of fresh air and sunlight, an adequate diet, and the stimulus he needs.”

December 11, 2021 - On Friday, the English High Court paved the way for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be extradited to the Fascist Police States of Amerika and tried over the publication of hundreds of thousands of documents, some of which contained evidence of FPSA and Fascist United Kingdom war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The decision reversed a ruling in January by a lower court that had blocked the extradition, but only on humanitarian grounds: that Assange would be put at severe risk of suicide by the oppressive conditions of his detention in the FPSA.

BRASILIA, Brazil (PNN) - December 7, 2021 - Brazil on Tuesday ruled out requiring a COVID-19 vaccination certificate for foreign travelers arriving in the country, despite a recommendation from the national health regulator.

The move came after President Jair Bolsonaro compared such a mandate to a "leash" for animals.

Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga told reporters after a meeting at the presidency that "people cannot be discriminated between vaccinated and unvaccinated to impose restrictions."

NEW YORK (PNN) - December 8, 2021, - A New York Supreme Court justice on Tuesday put on hold the city government’s sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandate for city workers, which includes all NYPD employees, pending a hearing next week.

Judge Frank Nervo granted a hearing that could lead to a restraining order against the unlawful mandate that was imposed by fascist New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on October 20, replacing what was originally a requirement to get the vaccine or be tested weekly for COVID-19.

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (PNN) - December 6, 2021 - A seven-year-old girl had a stroke and brain hemorrhage after being vaccinated against COVID.

The news came from a Facebook user named Barry Gewin, who shared on November 25 that his niece Harper was taken to the intensive care unit because she suffered a stroke and hemorrhaging in her brain. He also asked for prayers.

Gewin kept posting on Facebook about his niece's condition, recounting how she was "in quite a bit of pain and discomfort, and still very lethargic" while in the hospital. Another update read that Harper was "improving somewhat and may not need surgery" as things were "moving in a positive direction at last." The man later posted a video of his niece walking for the first time since being hospitalized in the ICU.
