Why “Millennials” Might be DIFFERENT from Other Generations…

By Janet K. Kern, PhD

Millennials, or Generation Y, are referred to as the “Snowflake Generation”.

They were born between about 1982-2000. They are currently, as of 2019, between approximately 19 and 39 years of age. They follow Generation X and precede Generation Z.

A “snowflake” is a person who is considered to be overly sensitive or too easily offended. Millennials get “triggered”. According to the Slang Dictionary, the word “triggered” is used to describe someone who is angry and filled with hate. A person usually gets triggered after seeing something upsetting or alarming. Using the expression “triggered” is way to describe irritable people.

According to a 2013 article in Time magazine by Joel Stein, Millennials have characteristics that are different from other generations. Stein states that millennials lack the kind of empathy that allows them to feel concerned for others, but they also have trouble even intellectually understanding others’ points of view. According to Stein, Millennials are interacting all day but almost entirely through a screen. They are most often sitting next to one another and texting. They might look calm, he further describes, but they’re deeply anxious.

Loneliness is also something that greatly troubles Millennials.

They tend to rely on technology to stay in communication with others.

Interestingly, they are also reported to have declining fertility. In addition, they are more likely to be diagnosed with mental illnesses such as depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder.

Millennials are also the generation of “Social Justice Warriors”. A recent (2019) “Democratic Socialist Convention”, filled with Millennials, made the news when the convention speakers were frequently interrupted by Millennials complaining about “sensory overload” and being “triggered”. Clapping was not allowed because clapping was “triggering”. Quiet spaces were available and the use any scents/fragrances was discouraged.

So why are Millennials different? Most explanations include growing up with technology. But Generation Z also grew up with technology. Other explanations include parenting. But are parents from Generation X and Z that different from parents of Generation Y (Millennials)?

As a neurotoxicologist, I have my own theory…

Vaccines and the Perfect Storm…

By Janet K. Kern, PhD

A “perfect storm” is defined as a detrimental or calamitous situation or event arising from the powerful combined effect of a unique set of circumstances.

A critical look at the current vaccine program in the United States suggests a possible Perfect Storm because there are a combination of factors surrounding the vaccine program which have the potential to lead to disastrous consequences. Below is a list of these potentially disastrous factors:

The “Disastrous Factors” List:

(1)  Currently medical doctors receive large bonuses for giving vaccines, and the more vaccines they give, the larger their bonuses[1]

(2)  Vaccines are hugely profitable, e.g., the worldwide pediatric vaccine market is projected to be valued at US$ 88.14 billion by the end of 2026[2]

(3)  No vaccine manufacturer or doctor can be held accountable for any vaccine injury[3]

(4)  The CDC, which is in charge of promoting vaccines, is reportedly corrupt according to CDC scientists[4], and receives millions of dollars each year from the pharmaceutical industry through the CDC Foundation[5]

(5)  The vaccine schedule has never been tested in a publicly available long-term study[6]

(6)  Vaccines contain ingredients which have not been adequately tested for safety, such as: mercury, aluminum, bovine cells, aborted human fetal cells, monkey lung tissue, etc[7]   Continue reading Vaccines and the Perfect Storm…

Do We Really Want to Inject Our Children with Vaccines Made in China?

By Janet K. Kern PhD

There are serious concerns being raised regarding contamination in vaccines, especially in light of the fact that many vaccines are now made in China.

Most childhood vaccines are now made in Chinese vaccine manufacturing facilities (Bolen Report, 2017). Unfortunately, foreign pharmaceutical companies are not subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quality control regulations.

China has a history of producing tainted and/or toxic products.

For example, in 2008, an estimated 300,000 infants fell victim to contaminated infant formulas made in China. Six of the infants died. Four years after that, Chinese baby formulas were found to contain dangerous levels of mercury and were forced to recall six months’ worth of production. Then one month after that, China authorities discovered more shipments of contaminated infant formula, this time poisoned with a cancer-causing toxin aflatoxin, a carcinogenic substance produced by fungus or mold. It was found in “excessive” amounts (The New York Times, 2012).

In 2007, a nationwide inspection of China’s food industry uncovered 23,000 cases of tainted or expired food (NPR, 2007a). Then in 2012, when Rendezvous explored the issue of food safety in China they described it as “a mess” (The New York Times, 2012).

It gets worse…

Autism Researchers Express Concern that the Tragedy of the Autistic Girl in Louisiana May be a Glimpse of the Second Crisis of Care in Autism that is Coming

by Janet Kern PhD, David Geier, Mark Geier MD PhD

In a Newsweek article from 2012 entitled, “An epidemic of special needs kids heads for a crisis of care” author Michelle Cottle describes how there is a current crisis of care, particularly in autism, as children with neurodevelopmental disorders are aging out of the school system. She stated that there was a “800-pound gorilla in the room: autism” and that the “epidemic,” or “swelling population” was placing strains on our health-care, education, and social-services systems. She quoted Geraldine Dawson, with Autism Speaks, as saying, “We as a nation are not prepared.”

That was 2012 and the crisis of care continues as children with autism age out of the school system. However, the second crisis in care in autism is just starting to reveal itself.

The second crisis of care in autism will happen when the parents of these autistic children start to die.

This second crisis of care will probably be considerably worse that the first crisis of care. It remains to be seen what will happen to this vulnerable population.

The recent tragedy involving a 22 year old girl with autism in Louisiana shown in the linked video below may be providing a glimpse of things to come. In that case, this 22 year old autistic girl, reported to have the mind of a child, ended up living with distant relatives when her mother died. Sadly, these distant relatives kept her locked in a cage outside for as long as nine months. She was abused and lost about 60 pounds during her ordeal, which ended June 30, 2016 when sheriff’s deputies freed her from her captors. After being evaluated at a local hospital, she was placed in the care of the Louisiana Health Department.
