Days after the attack, the U.S. military reportedlyOpens in a new tab put 2,000 troops on prepare-to-deploy orders for potential support to Israel, though from neighboring countries — orders that were confirmed by a procurement document obtained by The Intercept.
🔶️ “There are no plans or intentions to put U.S. boots on the ground in combat in Israel,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby saidOpens in a new tab on October 17. “But as we’ve also said, we have significant national security interests in the region.”
🔶️ Two days after Kirby’s remarks, the White House inadvertently sharedOpens in a new tab a picture of President Joe Biden in Israel posing alongside members of the secretive U.S. special operations units, before quickly deleting it. In late October, the New York Times reportedOpens in a new tab that American special operations personnel were in Israel to help with hostage rescue efforts.

The WHO now states on its website:
Vaccination against COVID-19 can trigger multiple sclerosis through cross-reactive CD4+-T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.
In other words: Your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
