USA just delivered the Olympics' most powerful protest - against their own teammate, who was standing right next to them.

Jacob Hoyle and Curtis McDowald of the USA in their pink masks, protesting teammate Alen Hadzic.

Three women had accused Hadzic of sexual assault. He was suspended by the US Centre for SafeSport on June 2 but the ban was overturned, allowing him to go to the Olympics. Yet USA Fencing was against his inclusion and he was not welcome with his teammates. He tried to have those restrictions removed but failed. BuzzFeed reported that his teammates sent a letter to USA Fencing, signed by the entire roster, that Hadzic's presence in the Olympic village would make the feel unsafe.

"I think one case is enough for you to not be allowed to compete at the f--king Olympics," one of his accusers anonymously told USA Today. "It really makes you question how far someone needs to go in order for them not to be able to compete.''Hadzic's attorney, Michael Palma, claimed that his client has "never been accused of rape".

Israel offers third dose of Pfizer in world-first trialA third 'booster' jab will be offered to Israelis in a new COVID-19 vaccination campaign after the nation's Health Ministry warned vaccine efficacy against the virus was fading over time. All while no longer showing the vaxxed status of hospitalisations and deaths, I wonder why... Because deadbeat Morrison (aka Mr 14%) delayed our vaccination rollout by 5 MONTHS, no boosters for us until at least late 2022! Why won’t the media do their JOB and hold the government to account. This lack of scrutiny proves you to be part of the problem, you will be part of the trials not reporting on them. Look up FLCCC for treatment & prevention if you have the Guts.
