DailyClout.io published Mr. Berger’s letter to Princeton University in an Op-ed: Princeton Alumnus and Donor Steve Berger Writes to VP of Princeton Regarding Illegal Mandates

In his letter, Mr. Berger cites a top Australian cardiologist’s peer-reviewed studies, along with alarming data from the CDC/FDA’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, known as VAERS, to make the case that mandating students to take mRNA vaccines endangers them needlessly.

Mr. Berger blames Princeton’s latest redundant mandates on a new illiberal mindset that has usurped the University’s former intellectually honest and morally courageous approach to addressing key issues, an approach which had been enshrined within the institution for the previous 277 years.

VP Hilary A. Parker, notably, has not replied to Mr. Berger’s letter.

This silence is stunning, especially considering Mr. Berger’s statement in his letter: “I had an unblemished record of donating to Princeton (in the five-figure range for close to 20 years) but decided in 2021 to cease all giving to Princeton due to its draconian, capricious, and increasingly unscientific policies, culminating with its decision to mandate experimental injections on its students as a condition of attendance. I notified our Class Agent of my decision.”

Mr. Berger questions the motivations behind the mandates writing: “The Princeton I attended stood for intellectual honesty and moral courage, but I sadly find the University’s persistence in requiring unneeded and potentially harmful experimental injections to be obtuse and cowardly. Is Princeton’s sacrificing its youth on the altar of big pharma and federal public health largesse or does bureaucratic inertia explain its intransigence?”

DailyClout.io is proud to announce that Ora Nadrich, renowned mindfulness expert and author, will be joining the platform as a monthly contributor.

Ora Nadrich is a pioneering Mindfulness expert, international keynote speaker and coach, and the founder and president of the Institute for Transformational Thinking. A sought-after expert in the fields of Mindfulness, transformational thinking, and self-discovery, she is the author of “Says Who? How One Simple Question Can Change the Way You Think Forever” and “Live True: A Mindfulness Guide to Authenticity”, named “One of the 100 Best Mindfulness Books of All Time” by BookAuthority.

As a “Mindful Activist”, Nadrich will use her expertise to comment on current social and political events, offering unique and timely insights on the intersection of matters of the spirit and current events.

“I’m very excited to be joining DailyClout as a Mindful Activist commentator,” said Nadrich. “I don’t know of any platform that empowers people like myself to be journalists and leaders at a time when free speech is now heavily censored, and I understand how unmindful behaviors and unethical decisions stem from a lack of awareness, which I hope to educate others on how to be more.”

DailyClout.io CEO Dr. Naomi Wolf added, “Ora Nadrich is that rare writer who can mediate between matters of the spirit and issues related to current social and political events. She is a unique voice with a devoted following, and her analyses are timely and profound. We at DailyClout are proud to announce that Ms. Nadrich is joining our distinguished roster of commentators”

About Ora Nadrich:

Ora Nadrich is a mindfulness expert, international keynote speaker, coach, and founder and president of the Institute for Transformational Thinking. Her most recent book is Time To Awaken – Changing The World With Conscious Awareness.

We are excited to announce that The Vigilant Fox, a hugely popular blogger with over 22,000 Substack subscribers and 118,449 Telegram subscribers, has joined the DailyClout.io team of distinguished contributors. The Vigilant Fox is known for creating short, informative clips featuring top doctors, scientists, and thought leaders from around the world, with the goal of providing easily understood and accurate information about important issues.

DailyClout.io CEO Dr. Naomi Wolf had this to say about The Vigilant Fox: “We are so fortunate that “The Vigilant Fox” has decided to join our growing team of distinguished content creators. This work is original and creative, and it’s not a surprise that he has such a growing and devoted following. I do also see him as a very good teacher, and his mission – of demystifying the worlds of science, politics, media, and so on for the non-“expert” reader — is completely aligned with our commitment to transparency and citizen empowerment. He joins the great Etana Hecht, in Israel, and a surprise commentator whom we will announce in the New Year, as one of DailyClout’s recently acquired editorial superstars. Welcome, “Vigilant Fox”.

The Vigilant Fox also had this to say about joining the DailyClout.io team: “I have a deep admiration for the efforts of Dr. Naomi Wolf and of the DailyClout.io team. Their project, overseen by Amy Kelly, in which 3500 experts dig through the Pfizer documents, provides an unbelievable service to humanity. I am proud to be aligned with such courageous freedom fighters who are putting it all on the line to bring truth to the American people and to readers worldwide.”

When asked about his motivations for becoming a citizen journalist, The Vigilant Fox said: “What motivated me to start a Substack? I see myself as an aggregator of news and as a teacher. I believe I have a knack for absorbing information and presenting it easy-to-follow fashion. That’s what I consider to be my role. I am not an expert or a scientist, but I listen to those whom I find to be credible sources of information. The character limits of social media didn’t allow me to go into details or provide layers of context. So, I started a Substack in which I could do just that.”

He continued: “Why do I do this? The persecution of, and the hateful rhetoric against, the unvaccinated, are the worst displays of human behavior I have witnessed in my lifetime. I saw the writing on the wall, and I knew where this was all going if it was left unchallenged. So, I got off the sidelines, took to social media, and dedicated all my free time to thwarting what I viewed as 1930s Germany 2.0 in the making.”

Period Law, PERIOD. and state-based partners are teeing up an end to the tampon tax across the country in 2023. With states pre-filing legislation, and more committed to taking up the issue, this is the first time in history that the U.S. is poised to eradicate state sales taxes on period products in the upcoming state legislative sessions. Particularly impressive is Texas’s bill, HB70, which has already been filed.

Of the 22 states that still tax menstrual products, only two, South Dakota and Idaho have never introduced repeal legislation. South Dakota is on the threshold of changing that, thanks to a proposal by State Representative Erin Healy.

Missouri and Oklahoma have proposed tampon tax reductions in prior years. Period Law supports a full rather than partial repeal based on their argument that any tax on medically necessary products for one-half of the population and not the other violates the equal protection clauses of the U.S. and state constitutions.

Period Law is tracking state progress on a Tampon Tax Leaderboard. States will need to hold hearings on proposed bills, which historically have held up the advancement of what has otherwise been considered a non-controversial, non-partisan step toward economic gender equity.

“To put the problem simply, people are reluctant to speak about menstruation-related concerns in public, but that’s exactly what we need elected officials to do in order to advance these bills,” said Laura Strausfeld, Period Law’s Executive Director. Tampon tax repeal has enjoyed bipartisan support nationwide, including from Texas Governor Greg Abbott. His spokesperson Renae Eze told The Texas Tribune in August that “these are essential products for women’s health and quality of life, and the Governor looks forward to working with the legislature in the next session to remove this tax burden on Texas women.”

Arizona Governor-elect Katie Hobbs strongly supported repeal in her campaign, stating: “Simply put, this is an unfair tax on women, and it’s time that Arizona joined the growing list of states that have moved away from this discriminatory practice.”

As additional bills are filed, Period Law expects more governors to voice support for repeal. No state should be last in line to do what is equitably, politically, and legally right–especially while enjoying historic budget surpluses and when projected lost revenue for tampon tax repeal is less than one one-hundredth of a percent of each state’s total revenue.

With the assistance of volunteer attorneys from around the country – including a core team from the law firm WilmerHale – Period Law has led the legal campaign to end the tampon tax nationwide since 2016. They have filed lawsuits challenging the tampon tax as unconstitutional and succeeded in helping to reduce the number of “tampon-taxing” states from 40 in 2016 to 22 today. Their partner advocacy organization, PERIOD., has helped organize rallies and protests around the country, including activating its members in more than 300 nationwide chapters.

“Purchases of period products should have been tax-exempt from the start, just like prescription drugs. State governments have heedlessly bilked women out of billions of dollars on purchases of these medical necessities,” added Strausfeld.

“We call on states to repeal this tax now, as we activate hundreds of PERIOD. chapters and partner organizations like CVS Health, to join this campaign. A tax repeal acknowledges the undue burden carried by people who use period products in your state. Repealing the tax now is the right move, at the right time,” says Michela Bedard, Executive Director at PERIOD.

Recent reports by journalist Etana Hecht suggest that the COVID-19 vaccine may be impacting the menstrual cycles and fertility of women in the Jewish Orthodox community.

American/Israeli reporter Hecht, known for her courageous Substack examining COVID-19 protocols, reports Orthodox women, with their long history of tracking their menstrual cycles and fertility, have noticed changes such as

• Excessively heavy or painful periods;
• Missed periods;
• Excessively long spotting;
• Periods returning post-menopause.

“Some of the earliest reports of menstrual disruption post-vaccination came from the women of the Jewish Orthodox community, almost immediately after the vaccine rollout,” said Etana Hecht. “To give a clear picture of why that was the case, some background is necessary.”

Renowned Epidemiologist and Ph.D. Dr. Paul Elias Alexander’s latest Substack reviews Etana Hecht’s article: “Etana does a marvelous, yet troubling research look at the issue of the COVID gene injections & the impact on the menstrual cycle and we can extrapolate to potentially fertility, etc. far-reaching effects”

Dr. Naomi Wolf and a few who followed her lead publicly called attention to the issue of women’s menstrual cycles being impacted in the spring of 2021.

“The evidence has only gotten stronger to support the early warnings,” said Dr. Wolf, a renowned feminist and spokesperson for this issue. “We need to thoroughly investigate the potential long-term effects of the COVID-19 vaccine on women’s reproductive health.”

Rabbis in Israel and America have also raised concerns about a drop in birthrates and reports of birth defects in babies born to vaccinated mothers.

Both Dr. Wolf and Hecht are available for interviews to discuss their research and the potential implications for the wider population.
