Former Pfizer Vice President Dr. Yeadon: COVID Variants NOT More Dangerous – Booster Shots Not Needed but Could be Used for Mass Murder

Like a fireman tasked with helping to get as many people as possible out of a burning building that is about to collapse, Dr. Michael Yeadon, Pfizer’s former Vice President and Chief Scientist for Allergy and Respiratory, has been granting interviews to as many people in the Alternative Media as possible in recent days to sound the alarm on the evil intentions behind the new COVID-19 experimental injections that have now preceded thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of injuries worldwide. He was interviewed today by independent journalist Taylor Hudak and published by The Last American Vagabond. Dr. Yeadon vehemently warns against younger people getting the experimental COVID shots when they are almost at a ZERO risk of being harmed by COVID, but have a tremendous risk of being harmed by the new experimental "vaccines." He is especially concerned about the push to vaccinate young pregnant women and children: "Trying to persuade pregnant women in their 20s to be vaccinated: What kind of unethical monster does that?" He explains to Taylor Hudak that what "keeps him up at night" is thinking about all the vaccines that are now being rushed to be developed for these "variants," and the evil intentions behind them. "I am quite furious because I have this open question. What is in these bottles of 'variant vaccines'? My significant fear is, if somebody wanted to arrange a situation where mass depopulation could be accomplished, this would probably be a perfect way of doing it."

5,365 DEAD 238,949 Injuries: European Database of Adverse Drug Reactions for COVID-19 “Vaccines”

The European database of suspected drug reaction reports, EudraVigilance, is now tracking reports of injuries and deaths following the experimental COVID-19 "vaccines." Their report through March 27, 2021 lists 5,365 deaths and 238,949 injuries following injections of four experimental COVID-19 shots: COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE MODERNA (CX-024414). COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE PFIZER-BIONTECH. COVID-19 VACCINE ASTRAZENECA (CHADOX1 NCOV-19). COVID-19 VACCINE JANSSEN (AD26.COV2.S). This is public information funded by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and anyone can use the EudraVigilance system and verify this data. These are some serious numbers, and yet we do not know of a single news organization, either corporate media or alternative media, who has published anything on this besides Health Impact News. Please share this information far and wide, and feel free to copy and republish everything in this report.

CDC Reports 2,794 Total Deaths Following COVID Experimental “Vaccines” as Some Clinics Halt J&J Shots due to Side Effects

In what is becoming the most censored story probably in the history of the United States, the CDC has reported this week that 2,794 deaths have been reported to VAERS as of April 5, 2021, following injections of the three experimental, non-FDA approved, COVID-19 injections. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a U.S. Government funded database that tracks injuries and deaths caused by vaccines. To put this into some perspective, there were a total of 345 deaths recorded in VAERS following vaccines for all of 2020. From 2010 through the end of 2020, an entire decade spanning 11 years, there were a total of 2,588 deaths recorded following vaccines. So deaths following vaccines during the first three months of 2021 have now exceeded total deaths for the past 11 years. How is this not headline news? What does the CDC say about all these deaths following COVID-19 injections? "A review of available clinical information including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records revealed no evidence that vaccination contributed to patient deaths."

War on Cash: The Next Phase

With so much news about an economic reopening, a border crisis, massive government spending and exploding deficits, it’s easy to overlook the ongoing war on cash. That’s a mistake because it has serious implications not only for your money, but for your privacy and personal freedom, as you’ll see today. Cash prevents central banks from imposing negative interest rates because if they did, people would withdraw their cash from the banking system. If they stuff their cash in a mattress, they don’t earn anything on it; that’s true. But at least they’re not losing anything on it. Once all money is digital, you won’t have the option of withdrawing your cash and avoiding negative rates. You will be trapped in a digital pen with no way out. If there is no cash, there is no anonymity. Governments will know your whereabouts and habits at all times simply by tracking your use of funds through the CBDC payment system. This can already be done, to some extent, by tracking credit card transactions, but the CBDC system will make state surveillance more pervasive. China is leading the way with CBDCs. And this kind of surveillance is the real driving force behind the Chinese CBDC. China already uses facial recognition software, mobile phone GPS tracking and the purchase of plane or train tickets to track their citizens. This surveillance can be used to detect anti-state activities and to arrest dissidents or anyone who doesn’t strictly follow government orders.

WEF Warns Of Cyber Attack Leading To Systemic Collapse Of The Global Financial System

A report published last year by the WEF-Carnegie Cyber Policy Initiative calls for the merging of Wall Street banks, their regulators and intelligence agencies as necessary to confront an allegedly imminent cyber attack that will collapse the existing financial system.

Midwin Charles: 47-Year-Old MSNBC Legal Analyst DEAD After Experimental mRNA COVID Shot

Brooklyn defense attorney and television commentator Midwin Charles is dead after what appears to be several days of suffering after receiving at least one experimental COVID shot. Ms. Charles posted the trendy “I’m vaccinated” announcement on Twitter on March 1. Her next tweet jokes about her “death causing peanut allergy” and that her insurance did not cover the EpiPen costs. She then retweeted a North Carolina professor talking about “black vax hesitancy.” She tweeted only nine times on Sunday, March 21. Keep in mind, her second dose of experimental mRNA would have been due around March 21-22. She tweeted four times on the 22nd, and 10 on the 23rd. She tweeted only once on March 24 and again once March 25. One tweet was deleted on March 26. There was no further activity until Tuesday, April 6 when the family announced she died, 37 days after the first announced experimental shot. This dramatic change in social media behavior suggests she was unable to tweet for over 12 days before passing away. A Google search for Midwin Charles right now brings up stories from The New York Post, New York Daily News, Newsweek, The Hill and a few others as the top results. None of said stories mention the experimental mRNA shot she received on March 1. Most of them say that the cause of death is "unknown."

Dentists, Optometrists, Podiatrists, Veterinarians Can Now Administer COVID-19 Vaccines in the U.S.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced that the agency is amending an emergency declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) to authorize additional medical professionals to administer experimental COVID-19 vaccines being distributed under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). This announcement was made after President Biden stated that he intends to provide directives to all the states and territories to make all adults over the age of 18 eligible for the experimental COVID-19 vaccines by May 1, 2021. Acting HHS Secretary Norris Cochran said: "As President Biden said last night, the key to getting us back to our lives is increasing vaccinations, and in order to do that, we need more vaccinators. … As vaccine supply ramps up, we want to be sure communities have the help they need to get shots into arms for anyone in the U.S. who wants to be vaccinated against COVID-19." The expanded COVID-19 vaccine administration workforce includes the following health professionals, who are currently or previously active within the last five years (retired or non-practicing health providers): dentists, emergency medical technicians (EMT), midwives, nurses, optometrists, paramedics, pharmacists, pharmacy interns, pharmacy technicians, physicians, physician assistant, podiatrist, respiratory therapists and veterinarians.

Federal Government Offering Bribes to Medical Doctors to Give More Experimental COVID Injections – Offering Double Payment for COVID Shots

A Texas medical doctor has alerted Health Impact News that the federal government, through its Medicare/Medicaid program, is now offering Texas doctors DOUBLE the normal reimbursement per vaccine for every experimental COVID shot they give to their patients. The shots are "free" to the patients.

22-Year-Old Israeli Girl DEAD Following Experimental Pfizer mRNA COVID Injection

The Times of Israel is reporting that a 22-year-old girl has died from myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, two weeks after receiving her second dose of the experimental mRNA Pfizer injection. The family of Shirel Hilel is suing the hospital where she died, claiming she did not get proper treatment. According to the Times of Israel, there have been other cases of myocarditis among Israelis who received both vaccine shots, but all had been successfully treated, including patients in more serious condition than Hilel. Israel was also the first nation to enforce a COVID Vaccine Passport as a requirement to do certain things in Israel. Those refusing to get the experimental injections are appealing to the world to help their cause.

Confirmed: AstraZeneca Experimental COVID Injection Causes Fatal Blood Clots – Trials with Children Halted

Just days after Australia's deputy chief medical officer, Michael Kidd, acknowledged that there was likely a connection between rare blood clots and the COVID vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford, officials from the EMA, Europe's top pharmaceutical regulator, have finally acknowledged the link, even if the agency's official stance - that there's no evidence of a link, but no evidence to rule it out - remains unchanged. The EMA declared at the conclusion of a hasty "safety review" last month that the benefits of the AstraZeneca jab (which is expected to to be the workhorse of the global vaccination rollout as Covax, the WHO/Gates Foundation program to vaccination developing countries, expects to heavily rely on the jab) far outweighed any risks, while saying it couldn't definitively rule out the possibility that the blood clots and the vaccine might be connected. But researchers from Norway, Germany and elsewhere insisted they had found evidence of a connection. And after the UK acknowledged more than 2 dozen new cases of the rare clots - 9 of them fatal - it seems the dam has finally broken. WSJ reported Tuesday that the University of Oxford had decided to pause trials of the vaccine in the UK that involved children between the ages of 12 and 15.

Government in Israel Sharing Personal Information on Unvaccinated People

A new law in Israel will allow the government to share a list of names of those who did not get the COVID-19 vaccine, along with other personal identifying information. The list, which will include the names, phone numbers, ID card numbers and addresses of the unvaccinated, can be shared with local government officials, including the director general of the education ministry and the welfare ministry for the purpose of encouraging citizens to get the vaccine. If a citizen fails to show up for their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the date of their first dose would also be shared. The list reportedly will only be provided to local government officials who request it and advise the Health Ministry about how they will use the information. Lawmakers contend that the law would only allow “trustworthy sources” to contact unvaccinated individuals to encourage them to get the vaccine and not for any other purpose. There is currently no legislation protecting the rights of those who choose not to be vaccinated and guaranteeing that they will not lose their job for exercising their informed consent rights.

The Nuremberg Code: The Universal Right of Informed Consent to Medical Interventions has been Recognized in US Law Since at least 1914

The 1947 Nuremberg Code is the most important legal document in the history of medical research ethics. It established 10 foundational principles of ethical clinical research. The first and foremost principle is unequivocal: “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential”. It prohibits research to be conducted on human beings without the informed consent of the individual. The Nuremberg Code was formulated by prominent US government jurists in consultation with prominent US medical consultants. The Nuremberg Code provides legal justification to litigate violations of informed consent. Under the Nuremberg Code, responsibility for violations of informed consent rests upon individual doctors, government officials – and their aiders and abettors – each of who can be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

Plandemic: Plans For ‘Vaccine Passports’ Were In Place 20 Months Before COVID-19 Outbreaks

The rationale currently being used by government bodies and health agencies to prepare the public for COVID-19 "Vaccine Passports" is that they are necessary due to the current COVID-19 "pandemic," and that without such passports life cannot return to normal. Of course anyone who is intelligent enough to turn off their corporate media news long enough to search for the truth in regards to these experimental injections that are illegally being called "vaccines" will soon learn that Big Pharma and their corporate media puppets are lying to us. They have no intention at all of letting people "return to normal," as these "vaccine passports," if the people comply and allow rules to be implemented to require these passports to be used to participate in society, will just result in even more loss of privacy and greater government over-reach and loss of liberties to further the tyrannical medical police state. People who have already been vaccinated are being told to continue wearing their masks and practicing social distancing, and every day we are reading more and more reports of fully vaccinated people being tested positive for COVID-19. That is, if they survive the shots, as now thousands have died following experimental COVID injections, and hundreds of thousands have been injured, according to multiple government reporting systems around the world tracking adverse reactions following vaccinations. Paul Anthony Taylor, writing for the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, is reporting that the ‘European Commission’ – the executive body of Europe – first published a proposal for vaccine passports on April 26, 2018, and that there was also a ‘Global Vaccination Summit’ hosted in Brussels, Belgium, on September 12, 2019, for vaccine religious zealots, just 36 days before Event 201. If you think I am being facetious for calling attendees to a Global Vaccination Summit "religious zealots," then take a look at the titles of their three round table presentations that the Summit was based on: In Vaccines We Trust - The Magic Of Science - Vaccines Protecting Everyone, Everywhere. Those are statements of faith, not scientific statements. Anyone choosing to get one of these experimental COVID injections and then proudly carrying your ID card to prove your participation, is participating in a religious cult, not in science. For these religious fanatics, those of us who refuse to participate in their cult are labeled as "vaccine hesitant," and we are the "unbelievers" that need to be attacked and silenced. This is the new religious persecution of 2021, and these religious zealots are found in all spheres of our society, including many Christian churches which are now becoming "vaccine clinics."

Barbara Loe Fisher’s 40-Year History Advocating for the Vaccine Injured and the Right to Informed Consent

Back in 1980, a young mother watched with horror as her infant son, who for 2.5 years was very healthy and at the top of all the growth and development charts for his age, began to deteriorate and start regressing just after his 4th DTP vaccine, which had caused convulsions just after being vaccinated, followed by life-long learning disabilities. Barbara Loe Fisher began the painful task of researching the actual science behind the vaccine market, rather than just blindly trusting what Big Pharma and government health authorities were saying about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, turning her own personal family tragedy into what today has become the oldest and most effective vaccine advocacy organization in the world, blessing hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives through her work, and the organization she went on to co-found, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC). I have put together a 30-minute clip of some of Barbara's more memorable appearances in the corporate media, dealing with hostile doctors, public health officials, and medical news broadcasters. We are living in unprecedented times, where non-FDA approved vaccines, which have great risk for harm to begin with even when they are approved by the FDA, are now being tested on the American public as well as on citizens of most countries around the world all in the name of a COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of people have already died following these experimental injections, and hundreds of thousands have been injured. Big Pharma and the government "health authorities" want to vaccinate every person on the planet, as Globalists like Bill Gates have already stated this is their purpose. To do so, they will need to try to forcibly vaccinate those who choose not to get them. Here in the U.S., it is highly unlikely that there will be any national orders or legislation passed to make COVID injections mandatory. Those battles, as always, will be fought at the State level. And Big Pharma now has $TRILLIONS in their coffers to "entice" state legislators and Governors to pass restrictive laws forcing vaccines unto those who do not want them. The NVIC is a non-profit organization with a history of fighting this kind of legislation for decades now. There is no one I would want in my corner fighting this fight more than Barbara Loe Fisher and her team at the NVIC. But they need our help! They cannot win this battle alone. We all must do our part.

Italy: Two More Teachers DEAD After AstraZeneca COVID Shot

AstraZeneca changed the name of its experimental COVID-19 viral vector shot to Vaxzevria to help salvage its reputation and sales. Unfortunately the rebranding has not stopped what is quickly approaching genocide in Italy. Two more Italian teachers are dead after receiving AstraZeneca viral vector shots against COVID-19. Mrs. Augusta Turiaco received the first dose of the AstraZeneca shot on March 11, according to daily newspaper La Stampa. The 55-year-old Messina music teacher published a new Facebook profile photo that day, letting everyone know she was “vaccinated.” But the situation quickly escalated. Mrs. Turiaco immediately felt ill after the shot. Severe headaches persisted for days, to the point that that she could no longer function. She was admitted to Policlinico Gaetano Martino on March 24. Doctors diagnosed her with cerebral hemorrhage due to thrombosis. In other words, it was yet another blood clotting issue caused by the AstraZeneca shot. Mrs. Turiaco was placed in a medically-induced coma. Doctors performed brain surgery to try and save her. But it was too late. She was brain dead on or around March 31. Her family released a statement, encouraging other people to take the AstraZeneca shot despite their loved one’s death. Meanwhile Ms. Cinzia Pennino was a science professor at Don Bosco Institute in Palermo. She received her first AstraZeneca shot on or around March 17, according to Sicilian newspaper Giornale di Sicilia. The 46-year-old was admitted to Paolo Giaccone Polyclinic in Palermo on March 24 in critical condition. Intensive care doctors diagnosed her with “extensive deep thrombosis.” Yes, more blood clots. She also had a history of severe allergic reactions to vaccines. Ms. Pennino died the following morning. Palermo health authorities issued the proverbial “no correlation between the AstraZeneca and the woman’s death” statement.

Medical Doctor and Director of Diagnostics Laboratory Presents Cures for COVID and Exposes Dangers of COVID “Vaccines”

Dr. Ryan Cole is the CEO and Medical Director of Cole Diagnostics, one of the largest independent labs in the State of Idaho. Dr. Cole is a Mayo Clinic trained Board Certified Pathologist. He is Board Certified in anatomic and clinical pathology. He has expertise in immunology and virology and also has subspecialty expertise in skin pathology. He has seen over 350,000 patients in his career, and has done over 100,000 Covid tests in the past year. He recently was invited to speak at the "Capitol Clarity" event in Idaho, apparently sponsored by the Lt. Governor's office, where he discussed successful outpatient treatments for COVID, and to offer his views on the new COVID "vaccines." Dr. Cole begins by showing statistics that prove Idaho is no longer in a "pandemic," but an "endemic." He states that the highest risk factors for contracting COVID are advanced age, obesity, and low Vitamin D levels. He also explains that coronaviruses have historically always followed a 6-9 month life cycle. He gives previous examples such as SARS-1, MERS, etc. One very interesting statistic that he pointed out is that in the U.S. the average annual age of death is 78.6 years old, and the average age of death during COVID has also been 78.6 years old. Dr. Cole is very adamant that proper levels of Vitamin D are essential to fight coronaviruses. He states: "There is no such thing as 'flu and cold season,' only low Vitamin D season." Dr. Cole then goes on to explain that by law, the government cannot use experimental vaccines on the population if there are already effective treatments. So all of the current experimental COVID "vaccines," which Dr. Cole himself admits do NOT meet the legal definition of a "vaccine" to begin with, are all illegal because there are therapies, such as Vitamin D, that are effective in treating COVID patients, as well as older already FDA-approved drugs like Ivermectin. He points out that the NIH (the National Institute of Health), which is a U.S. government agency involved with approving drugs, holds patents on the Moderna experimental COVID "vaccine," which is like asking the fox to guard the hen house. This is also the agency that Anthony Fauci works for, and has been employed there for over 30 years and is one the highest paid politicians in the U.S., making more money than even the President of the United States.

40-Year-Old Wisconsin Music Teacher DEAD Following Experimental COVID Injection

A 40-year-old music teacher is dead four days after publishing a Facebook photo wearing a mask and holding an “I was vaccinated” sticker. Wisconsin educators became “eligible” for experimental mRNA and viral vector shots on March 1, according to the state’s Department of Health Services. Ms. Sara Holub received one of the experimental shots at the Kress Events Center, University of Wisconsin Green Bay, on March 22. Ms. Holub received the shot via Prevea Health. The organization is holding mass inoculation events across the state. It received its allocation of experimental shots for educators on March 16. Prevea is affiliated with the nonprofit Hospital Sisters Health System. The company spoke about people’s “diligence and excitement” to receive the experimental shots on March 22. Ms. Holub was one of those people. She posted that day on Facebook, “it’s been a ridiculous year, but better days are coming.” She proudly and publicly conveyed her excitement to the world. Ms. Holub died four days later, according to her obituary.

CDC: 2,509 Deaths Following Experimental COVID-19 “Vaccines” Now Equal to Total Deaths Recorded After Vaccines for the Past Decade

Yesterday (April 2, 2021) the CDC released more data into their Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a U.S. Government funded database that tracks injuries and deaths caused by vaccines. The data in VAERS now goes through March 26, 2021, and records 50,861 adverse events, including 2,249 deaths following injections of the experimental COVID “vaccines.” Besides the recorded 2,249 deaths, there were 8,287 visits to Emergency Room doctors, 911 permanent disabilities, and 4,824 hospitalizations. However, the most up-to-date number of deaths following COVID-19 emergency use authorized injections was reported earlier this week on March 30th on the CDC website which stated 2,509 deaths have been reported through March 29, 2021 following experimental COVID-19 injections. So in just a little over 3 months since the FDA gave emergency use authorization (EUA) for experimental COVID-19 injections to be tested on the American population, as many deaths have been recorded following those experimental injections as deaths recorded to VAERS following FDA approved vaccines for the period starting January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2020, a period of 11 years spanning an entire decade. How long will the world continue going along with this plan before they wake up, perhaps too late for many, to realize that Big Pharma is in the business of selling treatments and drugs to manage diseases, and not actually curing people, because that is a terrible business model when you eliminate your repeat customers by curing them?

CENSORED: Dr. Peter McCullough, MD testifies How Successful Home Treatments for COVID Make Experimental Vaccines Unnecessary

Dr. Peter McCullough is a consultant cardiologist and Vice Chief of Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, TX. He is a Principal Faculty in internal medicine for the Texas A & M University Health Sciences Center. Dr. McCullough is an internationally recognized authority on the role of chronic kidney disease as a cardiovascular risk state with over 1000 publications and over 500 citations in the National Library of Medicine. He is the most published scientist in the history of his field. Dr. McCullough was the lead author in a study published in the American Journal of Medicine that summarized existing drugs already approved and in the market that had success in treating COVID-19 patients. According to Dr. McCullough, there were over 50,000 papers on COVID in the peer-reviewed literature, and none of them dealt with how doctors are supposed to treat COVID. After publication, it became the most cited study dealing with COVID, and people were contacting Dr. McCullough from all over the world seeking help in treating COVID patients. He took a few slides from his presentation and decided to publish a YouTube video on it, to help spread the word that there were effective treatments for COVID. It soon went viral, as could be expected when one of the most respected doctors in the world was presenting effective treatments of COVID, and within about a week YouTube took it down, stating that it violated the terms of their community. Senator Johnson from Wisconsin then got involved, and arranged for Dr. McCullough and others to give expert testimony in Senate hearings in November of 2020, explaining that people did not have to die from COVID because effective treatments existed. This life-saving information was being censored in the corporate media, and was being removed by Big Tech in social media. Dr. McCullough explains why this happened: "I can tell you what happened. What happened at around May, it became known that the virus was going to be amenable to a vaccine. All efforts on treatment were dropped. Warp Speed went full tilt for vaccine development, and there was a silencing of any information on treatment. Any. Silencing. Scrubbed from Twitter, YouTube. You can't get papers published on this. We can't even get information out in our own medical literature on this!" Watch the full testimony of Dr. Peter McCullough just given to the Texas State Senate. What he covers in less than 20 minutes is truly amazing, and horrifying.

FDA Whistleblower Claims the FDA is Not Properly Inspecting Plants where Vaccines are Manufactured, Mainly Merck Who Will Begin Producing COVID Experimental Vaccines

After it was recently announced that Merck & Co. would take over producing some of the experimental COVID "vaccines" for Johnson and Johnson, an FDA whistleblower has now stepped forward to reveal that the FDA is not properly examining production facilities where these experimental COVID shots are being produced. This is just another routine incident that highlights the incestuous relationship between Big Pharma and government health regulatory agencies like the FDA and the CDC, which primarily work for the pharmaceutical industry to maximize their profits, and are not very concerned about public health at all. Most of the people appointed to these government agencies come out of the pharmaceutical industry, and then return there once they are finished working for agencies like the FDA and the CDC. Merck is now set to join the ranks of pharmaceutical companies producing experimental COVID injections that have a long history of criminal activity. We have previously reported how Pfizer is notorious for previously having the largest criminal settlement with the Department of Justice, and Johnson and Johnson also has a very long criminal rap sheet ranging from their baby powder causing cancer, to flawed hip replacements and multiple product recalls that have harmed millions. So now faced with manufacturing problems in producing enough of the experimental COVID injections, they are turning to another criminal organization to help them, Merck. Merck's vaccines historically have probably killed and maimed more people than any other vaccine manufacturer, and they are still embroiled in lawsuits to this day over some of their vaccines, mainly the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, and their HPV vaccine, Gardasil. And now they are slated to use a plant to help produce the Johnson and Johnson experimental COVID shots, where employees are deliberately soiling their clothes with blood, urine and feces because they don't want to take the time to use the restrooms and go through the entire sterilization process again, and the FDA is overlooking this. And yet the vast majority of the public remains religiously pro-vaccine and are rushing out to get experimental injections produced by criminal pharmaceutical companies and regulated by criminal government regulatory agencies that are supposed to be overseeing them. The reduction of the world's population is in full swing now, and the pro-vaccine masses are the first ones to be culled.
