2017-10-12 Merck Manipulated the Science about the Drug Vioxx Scientists from the pharmaceutical giant Merck skewed the results of clinical trials in favor of the arthritis drug, Vioxx, to hide evidence that the drug increased patients’ risk of heart attack.

To increase the likelihood of FDA approval for its anti-inflammatory and arthritis drug Vioxx, the pharmaceutical giant Merck used flawed methodologies biased toward predetermined results to exaggerate the drug’s positive effects. https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/merck-manipulated-science-about-drug-vioxx

2017-07-02 The US Drug Companies Completely Own Our Mainstream Media With the exception of CBS, every major media outlet in the United States shares at least one board member with at least one pharmaceutical company. To put that into perspective: These board members wake up, go to a meeting at Merck or Pfizer, then they have their driver take them over to a meeting with NBC to decide what kind of programming that network is going to air. Mike Papantonio discusses the connection between Big Pharma and Mainstream Media outlets.

2021-10-20 The Great New Normal Purge Relentless official propaganda demonizing “the Unvaccinated” is being pumped out by the corporate and state media, government leaders, health officials, and shrieking fanatics on social media. “The Unvaccinated” are the new official “Untermenschen,” an underclass of subhuman “others” the New Normal masses are being conditioned to hate. You can see the hatred in the New Normals’ eyes …

But it isn’t just a purge of “the Unvaccinated.” Anyone deviating from the official ideology is being systematically demonized and persecuted.

In Germany, Australia, and other New Normal countries, protesting the New Normal is officially outlawedThe New Normal Gestapo is going around to people’s homes to interrogate them about their anti-New Normal Facebook postsCorporations are openly censoring content that contradicts the official narrativeNew Normal goon squads roam the streets, checking people’s “vaccination” papers.

And it’s not just governments and corporations carrying out the New Normal Purge. Friends are purging friends. Wives are purging husbands. Fathers are purging children. Children are purging parents. New Normals are purging old normal thoughts. Global “health authorities” are revising definitions to make them conform to New Normal “science.” https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/20/the-great-new-normal-purge.aspx

2021-10-20 The Race Is on to Get Experimental COVID Shots Into Little Kids — Why? U.S. health officials, with unflagging support from the Biden Administration, are charging full speed ahead on plans to vaccinate children as young as 5 for COVID, despite the extremely low risk the virus poses to kids, and against the urgent warnings of scientists and doctors. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/experimental-covid-vaccines-young-children-pfizer-cdc-fda/

2021-10-19 Corporate Media Largely Silent as Millions Protest Vaccine Mandates Worldwide When protests in the United States happen that help the establishment in some way, whether by stoking divide or pushing an establishment agenda, corporate media is all over them, bombarding us with news of packed streets. However, when massive crowds take to the streets to have their anti-establishment voices heard, it’s crickets on FOXSNBCNN.

Such is the case recently as millions of people across the world have taken to the streets to protest the draconian laws which segregate society and deprive people of their freedoms over their choice in taking a vaccine they may not even need.

One place, in particular, that is currently seeing massive protests is Italy whose government just passed the strictest vaccine mandate in Europe. Starting on October 15, Italy begins enforcing the new workplace green pass requirement. If employees cannot show proof of vaccination, they will not be allowed to go to work nor will they be able to enter any public places like restaurants, theaters, gyms, etc. If an Italian citizen misses five days of work by failing to comply with the new mandate, the government forces their employer to stop paying them. If employees are caught working without a green pass, the state will extort them to the tune of $2,100 per instance.

A person who had the jab back in January and likely has very few antibodies left is considered “green.” However, at the same time, a person who may have caught covid last month and recovered, thereby drastically reducing their ability to catch and spread the disease, is considered a threat and cannot go to work or public places. There is zero logic in these mandates, which prove one thing — they are about control — not your safety. https://www.activistpost.com/2021/10/corporate-media-largely-silent-as-millions-protest-vaccine-mandates-worldwide.html

2021-10-19 Have you Lost Your Job for Refusing the COVID Shot? You are NOT Alone! Many brave men and women are losing their jobs today because they refuse to comply with immoral mandates to let others control their bodies and their health. From doctors, nurses, educators, firefighters, and sports professionals to people from all walks of life, many have chosen to stand on faith and truth, no matter what it takes, and resist COVID vaccine mandates.

Politicians and the judicial system are serving their masters on Wall Street in allowing this to happen, but there is still a latent power in this country, and around the world, that could upend their plans, and that is the power of the people who refuse to comply. https://www.activistpost.com/2021/10/have-you-lost-your-job-for-refusing-the-covid-shot-you-are-not-alone.html

2021-10-19 Dozens Of Top Nuclear Scientists With “Highest Security Clearances” Being Fired From Los Alamos Lab After Vax Mandate A last Friday deadline for Los Alamos National Lab employees to get vaccinated has come and gone, with a judge on the same day denying a request by 114 employees there to block the nuclear lab’s vaccine mandate from taking effect.

In the last days the employees, including top nuclear engineers and scientists, have literally taken to the streets outside the lab, protesting the mandate which orders them to get their first dose of the Covid vaccine or face termination.  “The plaintiffs include scientists, nuclear engineers, project managers, research technicians and others who have some of the highest security clearances in the nation for the work they do.”

Further the report underscored they would be “difficult to replace” in the short term. “Some of the employees who are part of the lawsuit have worked for Los Alamos lab for decades, while others are newer hires who have relocated to New Mexico from other states and countries,” the report added. “Thirty-four of them are named in the lawsuit and 80 have opted to remain anonymous, citing fears of retaliation.” https://www.activistpost.com/2021/10/dozens-of-top-nuclear-scientists-with-highest-security-clearances-being-fired-from-los-alamos-lab-after-vax-mandate.html

2021-10-14 Biologist Tells RFK, Jr: Science Doesn’t Support Vaccine Mandates    In the latest episode of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s “The Defender Show,” Christina Parks, who has a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology, explains why she testified at the Michigan House of Representatives against vaccine mandates.    

mandating something to be injected into somebody’s body is “just ridiculous,” and vaccine passports are “blatantly illegal.”   Parks said there are two reasons she objects to vaccine mandates and passports: lack of informed consent and lack of science to support them.  

Parks explained how mRNA vaccines were never designed to prevent transmission of the pathogen, even though they were marketed that way. All you have to do, she said, is read and understand the clinical trials.  Parks pointed out that she belongs to the two demographic groups that are most vaccine-hesitant: Ph.D.s and African Americans.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of Oct. 4, of the 61% of Americans who have received at least one vaccine dose, 11% are Black. In contrast, 60% are white, 17% are Hispanic and 6% are Asian.   Parks said African Americans are vaccine-hesitant because “they rightly do not trust the government,”. 

Parks said she is furious Congress will not investigate the CDC and the willing medical and scientific participants.   “It’s criminal to me, what they’ve done,” she said, noting the lies, mistreatment and experimentation are happening all over again with vaccine mandates. 

As for Ph.D.s being vaccine-hesitant, Parks said the reasoning is different. A study conducted by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh found COVID vaccine hesitancy held constant in the group of individuals who have obtained higher levels of education.  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-defender-christina-parks-science-vaccine-mandates

2021-10-14 Watch: Joe Rogan Gets Dr. Sanjay Gupta to Admit CNN Lied About Ivermectin   On the latest episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, host Joe Rogan and Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, went head to head on a number of COVID-related topics, including why CNN told viewers Rogan took “horse dewormer” when he had COVID.      

Rogan asked Gupta why a professional news outlet such as CNN would do this when ivermectin had been “shown to stop viral replication in vitro … and has been prescribed to billions of people … why would they lie and say that’s horse dewormer?”

“Don’t you think a lie like that is dangerous on a news network?” asked Rogan.   “They shouldn’t have said it was horse dewormer,” Gupta conceded, adding that he  “doesn’t know” why CNN lied about ivermectin.   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/joe-rogan-sanjay-gupta-cnn-lied-ivermectin/  

2021-10-14  21-Year-Old Fully Vaccinated Student Dies of COVID, as Breakthrough Cases Continue to Climb   Shawn Kuhn, a fully vaccinated senior at the University of Georgia who was majoring in exercise and sports science, died Oct. 11, more than six weeks after developing COVID symptoms.

The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show as of Oct. 4, 30,177 patients were hospitalized or died despite being fully vaccinated — a number the agency acknowledges is an undercount of all SARS-CoV-2 infections among fully vaccinated persons.

According to the CDC, a vaccine breakthrough case occurs when someone tests positive for COVID at least 14 days after being fully vaccinated. According to the CDC’s website, people with vaccine breakthrough infections may spread the virus and infect others. As of May 1, the CDC stopped tracking all COVID vaccine breakthrough cases — instead tracking only those breakthrough cases which result in hospitalization or death.   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/21-year-old-shawn-kuhn-fully-vaccinated-student-dies-covid/

2021-10-14 CCC District V News – Lifting Masking Requirements in Some Indoor Settings on Nov. 1 (MEK Note: This totally ignores the reality that vaccinated people can have Covid-19 and pass it on to others. Last time this policy was implemented back in May 2021 by the CDC and White House there was a massive surge in Covid-19 cases two weeks later which was conveniently blamed on the unvaccinated despite the fact that they were still masked and shunned from these vaccinated gatherings!) With COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations declining, Contra Costa County will lift masking requirements in certain indoor settings where everyone is fully vaccinated on Nov. 1. Eligible settings include controlled spaces not open to the general public, such as: Offices, Gyms and fitness centers, Employee commuter vehicles, Indoor college classes, Organized gatherings in any other indoor setting, such as a religious gathering

Eligible participating businesses, organizations and hosts must verify that all patrons, employees and attendees are fully vaccinated before allowing people inside their facilities not to wear face coverings.  There can be no more than 100 persons present at these facilities, and the group of those present must gather on a regular basis. Those present should also not have COVID-19 symptoms https://progressiveissuesblog.wordpress.com/2021/11/01/2021-10-14-ccc-district-v-news-lifting-masking-requirements-in-some-indoor-settings-on-nov-1/

2021-10-13 Nearly 45,000 Breakthrough COVID Cases Reported in Mass. Since July Nearly 45,000 fully vaccinated Massachusetts residents have now tested positive for COVID-19 and 345 of them have died, according to the latest state data on breakthrough cases published Tuesday. The Department of Public Health has tracked a cumulative 44,498 confirmed COVID-19 infections among those fully vaccinated in the state to date.  https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/nearly-45000-breakthrough-covid-cases-reported-in-mass-since-july/2515455/

2021-10-13 Alex Berenson Tells Joe Rogan: ‘Vaccine Mandates Have Absolutely Nothing to Do With Medical Realities’   New York Times best-selling author, Alex Berenson, who was permanently suspended from Twitter, appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience” for a wide-ranging discussion on COVID vaccines, including why people who normally distrust industry and its influence over public policy are willing to line up for vaccines.

Berenson told Rogan the number of fully vaccinated people dying from COVID is rising, according to data in most countries. He pointed to what he claims is the best national data available, data from Israel and the UK.

“The best data we have comes out of the UK and Israel,” Berenson said. “And in the UK, at least 70% of the people who died from COVID in August were fully vaccinated, and that’s straight from British government documents.”   Berenson said Israel, which began vaccinating earlier than any other country, mandated a third, booster shot because data showed fully vaccinated people were losing their immunity and dying from COVID.

So there’s a really good paper that came out of Israel which showed that natural antibodies fall about 5% or 10 percent a month, while vaccine-induced immunity falls more than 40% per month.”

“Folks be really clear about this, vaccine mandates are a form of control. If you got your shots in January, your immunity, by all official science, is waning now, but you can still go wherever you want, but someone who got COVID a couple of weeks ago and has rock solid antibodies isn’t allowed to go anywhere indoors, I have a real concern about this.”    “vaccine mandates have absolutely nothing to do with medical realities.”

“I’m so struck by the left’s willingness to buy into the narrative that the pharmaceutical industry is selling,”   “This is the first time in history that the most educated and wealthier type of people have said ‘I wanna be the guinea pig,”   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/joe-rogan-alex-berenson-covid-vaccines-mandates-big-pharma/

2021-10-13 China to Test Thousands of Wuhan Blood Samples in COVID Probe    China is preparing to test tens of thousands of blood bank samples from the city of Wuhan as part of a probe into the origins of COVID-19, according to a Chinese official. The move comes amid increasing calls for transparency over the emergence of the virus.

The store of up to 200,000 samples, including those from the closing months of 2019 were pinpointed in February this year by the World Health Organization’s panel of investigators as a possible source of key information that could help determine when and where the virus first crossed into humans. The samples are kept in the Wuhan Blood Center, and are thought to span 2019, providing real-time tissue samples from a wide swathe of the population in the Chinese city where SARS-CoV-2 is thought to have first infected humans.    https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/12/asia/china-wuhan-blood-samples-covid-19-probe-intl-cmd/index.html

2021-10-13 Physician to FDA, CDC: In 20 Years of Practicing Medicine, ‘I’ve Never Witnessed So Many Vaccine-Related Injuries’    Dr. Patricia Lee, a licensed physician in California, said her experience with patients harmed by the COVID vaccine “does not comport with claims made by federal health authorities regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.”

In the letter to FDA and CDC, Lee described observing “entirely healthy individuals suffering serious, often fatal, injuries,” including transverse myelitis, resulting in quadriplegia, pneumocystis pneumonia, multi-system organ failure, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, postpartum hemorrhagic shock and septic shock.  Lee, a practicing physician for more than 20 years, said she “never witnessed so many vaccine-related injuries until this year.”

Lee acknowledged that her report reflects the experience of a single physician. However, she wrote, it appears “statistically improbable” that any one physician should witness this many COVID-19 vaccine injuries if the federal health authority claims regarding the vaccines’ safety were accurate.

Since the issuing of the original letter, Lee’s attorneys sent another letter to the CDC and FDA saying that the agencies’ “failure to respond is highly concerning,”   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/dr-patricia-lee-fda-cdc-vaccine-related-injuries/

2021-10-13 WHO Announces New Expert Group to Investigate Origins of COVID and Other Outbreaks   The World Health Organization on Wednesday named 26 scientists to a new advisory body devoted to understanding the origins of COVID-19 and other future outbreaks, marking a change in approach for the world’s top global health body to one of the most politically sensitive issues of a pandemic that has killed more than 4.8 million people. The group includes scientists from the United States and China, as well as 24 other nations, and will be formalized after a brief period of public consultation. It is set to consider not only the big, unresolved question of the novel coronavirus — how did it first infect humans? — but it will also establish a framework for future outbreaks involving other pathogens so that similar big questions are not left unresolved again.    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/who-announces-new-expert-group-to-investigate-origins-of-covid-19-and-other-outbreaks/ar-AAPsQk2

2021-10-13 Watch: Merck’s COVID Pill Could Transform Treatment. Here’s How It Works   Earlier this month, study results showed that molnupiravir, Merck’s investigational antiviral pill, cut hospitalization rates of COVID-19 patients by about half. Molnupiravir is the first oral treatment that has shown promise in treating COVID-19. Another antiviral, remdesivir, can only be administered intravenously.

“Having an oral option will be a big change,” said Benjamin Gewurz, associate director of the Ph.D. program in virology at Harvard Medical School. “Some people could just take a pill rather than having an IV or injection of some sort. And that’s what would be a huge, huge advance.”    https://www.statnews.com/2021/10/13/molnupiravir-merck-covid-pill-how-it-works/

2021-10-13 Sen. Rand Paul: ‘We’ve Got Fauci Spreading Mistruths Across the Country’  Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Monday criticized the media and Dr. Anthony Fauci for spreading mistruths about COVID, and for their role in causing unnecessary deaths by politicizing the science around COVID vaccines and treatments.  They’re saying we’ve got to forcibly vaccinate the kids,” Paul said. “There’s no science behind any of that.”

Paul, who said he refused to get the COVID vaccine because he already had the virus, and has natural immunity, has been an outspoken critic of Fauci and the Biden administration for their handling of the pandemic.   In July, he accused Fauci of lying to Congress about approving funding for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and called on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate.

Paul told the U.S. Senate on Monday it’s time to stop censoring people just for asking questions about COVID policies, and get back to the ideas of classical liberalism, where “we debated things.”   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rand-paul-fauci-mistruths-covid-deaths-vaccines-treatments/

2021-10-12 White House Tells States to Prepare for COVID Vaccinations in Young Children   The White House told governors to start preparing to vaccinate children as young as 5 by early next month in anticipation of clearance of Pfizer‘s COVID vaccine for the age group in the coming weeks, a White House official said. The Biden administration has purchased 65 million pediatric doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, enough to vaccinate the estimated 28 million children who would be eligible should the Food and Drug Administration approve Pfizer’s request to vaccinate children ages 5 to 11, said an official of the Department of Health and Human Services.    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/white-house-tells-states-prepare-covid-vaccinations-young-children-n1281384

2021-10-12 Fully Vaccinated Are COVID ‘Super-Spreaders,’ Says Inventor of mRNA Technology   On the latest episode of “The Hidden Gateway” podcast, Dr. Robert Malone, recognized for his role in inventing mRNA vaccine technology, said, “The idea that if you have a workplace where everybody’s vaccinated, you’re not going to have virus spread is totally false. A total lie.” 

Malone likened what’s going on today with COVID vaccines to the illegal medical experiments conducted by Nazi Germany. “[During the Second World War], Jews and other ethnic groups were subjected to horrible experimental medical research,” Malone said. “And they justified it by saying it was for the common good.”    Governments are employing different forms of coercion to drive vaccine uptake, policies Malone said he believes are illegal.

Malone denounced the “noble lie” as “paternalistic authoritarianism.” He said the idea of governance-by-lying goes back to Plato and Ancient Greek philosophy which argues that it’s  “okay for politicians and people in authority positions to lie to the general public because they have special knowledge and ability to understand things … and the general public can’t cope with that level of information. And so it’s okay to lie to them.”   “I really disagree with this line of thinking,” Malone said. “Yet it has been public policy in the United States and worldwide in public health for a very long time.”    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/justin-williams-robert-malone-fully-vaccinated-covid-super-spreaders/

2021-10-12 Saliva Test May Predict COVID Severity Among Children, Penn State Research Finds   A simple saliva test may be able to determine which children are at greater risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms, according to early research findings by doctors at Pennsylvania State University.

While the vast majority of children who contract the virus experience only mild symptoms or none at all, early identification of those who are at risk of developing severe cases would help doctors better monitor and intervene before children become critically ill, said Steven Hicks, a pediatrician at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital and coauthor of the study.   https://www.inquirer.com/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-covid-19-children-saliva-early-detection-20211012.html

2021-10-12 NYT Vastly Overstates Number of Children Hospitalized With COVID, as Data Show COVID Risk for Kids ‘Not Extraordinary Threat’    The New York Times last week corrected an article which said nearly 900,000 children have been hospitalized with COVID in the U.S., when the actual number is 63,000. An op-ed in today’s Times cited data showing an unvaccinated child has less risk of being infected with the virus than a fully vaccinated 70-year-old.   

Hospitalization rates by both age and vaccination status in King County, Washington, contain some of the country’s most detailed COVID data, showing that the risks for unvaccinated children look similar to the risks for vaccinated people in their 50s.

According to an article published today in The New York Times, nationwide statistics from the UK showed an even larger age gap. Unvaccinated children under 12 (a group combined with unvaccinated children under 18 in the next graph) appeared to be at a lower risk of COVID infection than vaccinated people in their 40s, if not 30s.

 “COVID is a threat to children. But it’s not an extraordinary threat,” Dr. Alasdair Munro, a pediatric infectious-disease specialist at the University of Southampton, said in a tweet. “It’s very ordinary. In general, the risks from being infected are similar to the other respiratory viruses you probably don’t think much about.”   For children without a serious medical condition, the danger of severe COVID is so low as to be difficult to quantify. For children with such a condition, the danger is higher but still lower than many people believe, the Times reported.  

In a presentation published Oct. 4, by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Peter McCullough, a consultant, cardiologist and one of the top five most-published medical researchers in the U.S., urged “relentless, and unbreakable resistance” to COVID vaccination of children.  “Myocarditis is certainly very real. It’s due to the vaccine,” McCullough said.

“The chances of myocarditis, and hospitalization with myocarditis for one of these children who is going to be forced into vaccination … is greater than being hospitalized for COVID-19. So, it’s much better for the children to not get vaccinated and take the risk of the respiratory infection.”     https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/new-york-times-overstates-number-children-hospitalized-covid/

2021-10-12 FDA Grapples With Timing of Booster for J&J COVID Vaccine   The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it is wrestling with whether and when recipients of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine need another dose — at six months or as early as two months.   In an online review, FDA scientists didn’t reach a firm conclusion, citing shortcomings with J&J’s data, including little information on protection against the extra-contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus.  https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-sports-business-health-308a0d7add795125940678f22cbd2b71

2021-10-11 Ominous B1 Deficiency Found Throughout Food Chain

Thiamine is sometimes referred to as an “antistress” vitamin for its positive influence on your central nervous system, and it’s also important for healthy immune function. In addition to nutrients such as zinc and vitamins C and D, vitamin B1 (thiamine) may actually be crucial to protect against infectious respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19.

Thiamine deficiency syndrome (beriberi) has also been implicated in other types of severe infections and bears many similarities to sepsis. This is one of the reasons why thiamine is such an important part of Dr. Paul Marik’s sepsis treatment.1 Sepsis, in turn, is a major contributor in influenza deaths in general, and a primary cause for COVID-19 deaths specifically.

While thiamine deficiency is often the result of alcohol misuse, chronic infections, poor nutrition and/or malabsorption, recent research suggests vitamin B1 availability has dramatically declined throughout the food chain in recent years.2

  • Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is used by nearly all your cells, metabolizing the carbohydrates and lipids in the foods you eat, helping to convert food into energy and boosting the flow of electrolytes in and out of your nerves and muscles
  • Thiamine is important for healthy immune function, and may actually be crucial to protect against infectious respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19
  • While thiamine deficiency is often the result of alcohol misuse, chronic infections, poor nutrition and/or malabsorption, recent research suggests vitamin B1 has dramatically declined throughout the food chain in recent years
  • The transfer of thiamine up the food chain may be blocked by a number of factors, including the overabundance of thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys thiamine. Thiaminase is naturally present in certain microorganisms, plants and fish that have adapted to use it to their advantage
  • Thiamine deficiency has been identified in dozens of animal species and is now suspected of driving declines in wildlife populations across the northern hemisphere. This means our diets are likely to be low in thiamine, thereby raising the risk for thiamine deficiency in the human population

2021-10-11 44,400 Breakthrough Cases Recorded in Indiana; 420 Fully Vaccinated Residents Have Died   Nearly 45,000 people in Indiana have been infected with COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated, with more than 400 dying from the virus, according to the state’s health department.    In the latest data published Thursday, 44,479 breakthrough COVID-19 cases have been recorded since the beginning of the pandemic — 5,303 more cases since the update on Sept. 30. The total number of cases represents 1.348% of the state’s fully vaccinated population.   https://www.ibtimes.com/44400-breakthrough-cases-recorded-indiana-420-fully-vaccinated-residents-have-died-3314156

2021-10-11 How Zinc Can Boost Your Immune Health  

Dr. John Campbell, he reviews some of the science behind the association between zinc and the immune system. He believes it is one biological basis for an “altered resistance to infection.” But, beyond the immune functions I discuss below, it’s important to know that zinc plays other important biological roles.

For example, you have at least 300 enzymes that require zinc to function normally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified several common human coronaviruses that are responsible for upper respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold. Although a cold is usually a minor condition, it is also responsible for most doctor’s office visits every year.

A cold can last as short as a week, but in children and the elderly it can last longer. Cold symptoms include stuffy head, runny nose, sore throat, headache and sometimes a fever. These are some of the same symptoms of influenza, but the symptoms are often worse and include fever and body chills.

Although research has demonstrated the significantly positive effect zinc has on the immune system and on shortening upper respiratory infections caused by common cold viruses, further research in 2020 has demonstrated that zinc is crucial to immune system function and deficiency may be linked to individuals who have severe COVID-19 illness.

  • Zinc is essential for the normal development and function of your immune system as it protects against susceptibility to pathogens, mediates natural killer cells, activates T-lymphocytes, regulates macrophages and is central to DNA replication
  • Evidence shows zinc helps protect the body from COVID-19 by impairing viral replication in the cell, supporting ciliary growth and function in the respiratory system and improving the respiratory epithelial barrier
  • A zinc deficiency is associated with many of the comorbidities linked to COVID-19, including obesity, kidney disease, tobacco smoking, diabetes and autoimmune diseases
  • Using a zinc ionophore helps move zinc into the cells where it can impair viral replication. Zinc ionophores include hydroxychloroquine, quercetin and EGCG found in green tea
  • Zinc supplementation may trigger a zinc/copper imbalance. It is best to consistently get your zinc from food and use supplementation during an acute illness

2021-10-11 Masking, protests, multiple waves: How the 1918 flu pandemic is eerily similar to and alarmingly different than the COVID-19 pandemic.   There are many similarities between the pandemics of 1918 and today, but a global health expert warns of a critical difference that will impact the end of COVID-19.

Dr. Jonathan Quick teaches global health studies at Duke’s Global Health Institute and has poured his study of centuries of infectious diseases into his book The End of Epidemics: The Looming Threat to Humanity and How to Stop It, which was first published in 2018, before the emergence of COVID-19. He was also former Director of Essential Drugs and Medicines Policies at the World Health Organization.    https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/1918-flu-pandemicsimilar-different-covid-19-pandemic-duke-health-institute/275-deb940c3-d66e-4119-8b88-2badbde2c17f?

2021-10-11 CNN Takes Another Stab at My ( Dr. Joseph Mercola) Best-Seller

August 4, 2021, CNN aired a hit piece on me based on a fabricated report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) — a report that has since been refuted by Facebook itself.   According to the CCDH, I am No. 1 of a dozen individuals responsible for 65% of all anti-vaccine content on social media and should therefore be stripped of my First Amendment rights to free speech and banned from all platforms.

CNN reporter Randi Kaye, who wasn’t wearing a mask at the time, asked me about why I say masks don’t work, and whether I “feel responsible” for the deaths of unvaccinated people

The U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) had as of September 24, 2021, received 15,937 reports of deaths shortly after the COVID injection, and a report by Steve Kirsch provides compelling evidence that side effects are underreported by a factor of 41. That means the death toll may be closer to 250,000.   Does CNN regret having lured all of these people to their deaths by refusing to report anything negative about these experimental injections?

At the end of that segment (below), Kaye decries the success of my best-selling book, “The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal,” refusing to even state its title.   So far, the book has sold more than 250,000 copies, and all proceeds are being donated to the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), the oldest and largest vaccine safety advocacy group in the U.S.

  • August 4, 2021, CNN aired a hit piece on me based on a fabricated report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which has since been refuted by Facebook
  • October 4, 2021, CNN aired a follow-up, urging Amazon to get into the book burning business by banning sale of my best-selling book, “The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal”
  • They claim my book is full of “lies,” “misinformation” and “mistruths.” But not a single piece of evidence to back that up is presented
  • By and large, the COVID shot is unnecessary for most people, for the simple reason that most people aren’t at risk of dying from COVID-19
  • Your risk of dying from COVID-19 is less than 1%, and your absolute risk reduction from the COVID shot is right around 1% (maxing out at 1.3%). This means it is mathematically impossible for COVID “vaccines” to have a favorable impact on public health

I am a pro-life radical catholic who participated in a local march in support of the women’s march on washington. One reason I am proud to have marched in the protest is because of that fact, not inspite of it.

I believe life begins at conception and I want to see fewer women choose abortion. I grew up in conservative catholicism and was always told that voting republican meant saving babies and voting democrat meant the opposite. several years ago, I became curious and decided to study the CDC statistics for myself. What I learned basically blew my conservative up-bringing mind… abortion rates decline at the same rate or faster when a democrat is in office (chart below, if you want to take a look). So that got me thinking… can we really call it the pro-life party if it doesn’t save more babies than the pro-choice party? Something isn’t…

I think we forget that nearly all Americans would be happier with money than nearly anything else. When asked what the average American wants for his/her/their birthday, they will likely say money. Some people ask for time; in our capitalist society, time is money since the opportunity cost of an hour of rest is an hour less work on your paycheck (unless you’re salary). Yet, we resent this attitude about money with people panhandling on the street. If we give out food or clothes and someone asks if we have money, we probably feel a tinge of resentment. A popular thought to cross many minds, “Why can you just be grateful for what I’ve given you?”

I know the thought occurred to me fairly recently, and my stream of thoughts can’t be that separate from others. I was driving home on a cold, late morning. As I was exiting 71…

No military jets over San Francisco – revoke air rights for jets during Fleet Week

No military jets over San Francisco – revoke air rights for jets during Fleet Week

Margit Geist started this petition to City of San Francisco & County of Marin

When I was 8 years old 70 people died and thousands were injured when a fighter jet crashed into the spectating crowd at an air show at the American Airbase in Ramstein/Germany. Many of the victims were young children since the event had been particularly popular among families. It was later labeled “The deadliest air show in German history” and the images of that day will be forever burned into my brain.

Every October during Fleet Week San Francisco when over the course of 4 days the sky above the city and the Bay become training grounds for the ‚Blue Angels‘ and other jet pilots the terrifying memories come back. 

After recent changes in my personal life (I’ve become a mum) and the developments and newly released research around climate change I’ve now decided to take action.

Even if your memories of air shows are much less traumatic or even positive I’d like to ask you to hear me out and to consider these two arguments against them. 

Noise pollution: You don’t have to be the parent of a baby or toddler you are trying to nap to feel your stress levels rise when a military jet shoots through the sky. No one is able to opt out of the noise pollution throughout the day over 4 consecutive days and no one should be forced to live through it. Jet sounds easily reach 120-140dB and are far beyond what is considered harmful and tolerable under any other circumstance. For reference the human pain threshold is at 110dB and your ear drum will rupture at 150dB. Independent studies show negative effects on human psyche and hearing as well as a child’s ability to learn at levels as low as 85dB.

Environmental impact: Even the most fuel efficient fighter jet on the market burns close to 5000 pounds of Kerosine (jet fuel) per hour. The consumption of a “Blue Angel” fighter jet is around 8000(!) pounds or 1200 gallons per hour. Multiply that by 6 Blue Angel jets and you have blown 7200 gallons worth of jet fuel or 144.000 pounds of CO2 (at 20 pounds per gallon according to the EPA) up in the air in just 1 hour. And that is not even considering the other jets and planes in the lineup for the Fleet Week Air Show. In times when climate change is more than just a threat it seems antiquated to willfully emit this much carbon for an air show – especially in a environmentally forward state like California and a city as green as San Francisco. 

Please join me in asking the City of San Francisco and the County of Marin to suspend permits and air rights for the “Blue Angels” and other jets performing in the Air Show during Fleet Week.

People with Certain Medical Conditions More Likely to die from Covid-19 Adults of any age with the following conditions can be more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19. Severe illness means that a person with COVID-19 may need: Hospitalization, Intensive care, A ventilator to help them breathe, Or they may even die

Estimated COVID-19 Burden

CDC COVID Data Tracker

Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19-Associated Hospitalizations More The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) conducts population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in children (persons younger than 18 years) and adults.

Underlying Medical Conditions Associated with High Risk for Severe COVID-19 An updated list of high-risk underlying conditions, based on what has been reported in the literature, and the level of evidence for risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes are provided below. Updates to the list of high-risk underlying medical conditions that put adults of any age at increased risk for severe COVID-19 illness were based on evidence from published reports, scientific articles in press, unreviewed preprints, and internal data. 

Underlying Medical Conditions and Severe Illness Among 540,667 Adults Hospitalized With COVID-19, March 2020–March 2021 Certain underlying conditions and the number of conditions were associated with severe COVID-19 illness. Hypertension and disorders of lipid metabolism were the most frequent, whereas obesity, diabetes with complication, and anxiety disorders were the strongest risk factors for severe COVID-19 illness. Careful evaluation and management of underlying conditions among patients with COVID-19 can help stratify risk for severe illness.

Comorbidities and COVID: A much higher risk of death But certain underlying health conditions, known as “comorbidities”, also increase your risk of becoming seriously ill as a result of catching COVID-19. Serious illness could mean a person will need hospitalisation, intensive care or a ventilator to help them breathe, or they may even die. When looking at which illnesses increase a person’s risk of severe disease from COVID-19, it is important to remember that people with underlying health conditions also tend to be older so age as well as their health plays a part.

Comorbidity Factors Influence COVID-19 Mortality Much More than Age Data are held by agencies that are unable to address all the critical questions that acute care physicians could use to make more effective decisions about the use of their resources at this critical time. This paper uses data to disentangle the two most important factors that influence mortality from COVID-19: comorbidity factors and age. A database with multiple factors would allow researchers to examine many other critical questions, perhaps most importantly, which specific comorbidity factors – and combinations of factors – are leading to high mortality among COVID-19 patients.

Underlying conditions common among kids and teens who die of Covid-19 Young people with at least one underlying condition were more likely to die, and nearly half of the deaths were in those with two or more underlying health conditions. Just a quarter of the deaths were in people who were considered previously healthy.

What factors did people who died with COVID-19 have in common? They found that 72.9% of those who died with COVID-19 were male, with a median age of 65.8 years and underlying chronic conditions, such as heart problems or diabetes. “The greatest number of deaths in our cohort were in males over 50 with noncommunicable chronic diseases,” the investigators note. “We hope that this study conveys the seriousness of COVID-19 and emphasizes the risk groups of males over 50 with chronic comorbid conditions, including hypertension (high blood pressure), coronary heart disease, and diabetes,” they have commented.

2021-10-08 New York Times Issues Massive Correction After Overstating COVID Hospitalizations Among Children     The New York Times issued a massive correction Thursday after the liberal newspaper severely misreported the number of COVID hospitalizations among children in the United States by more than 800,000.    A report headlined “A New Vaccine Strategy for Children: Just One Dose, for Now,” by science and health reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, was peppered with errors before major changes were made to the story.

The Times initially reported “nearly 900,000 children have been hospitalized” with COVID since the pandemic began, when the factual data in the now-corrected version is that “more than 63,000 children were hospitalized with COVID-19 from August 2020 to October 2021.”    https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-york-times-massive-correction-covid-hospitalizations-children

2021-10-08 Biden’s Failure to Acknowledge Natural Immunity Is ‘Tearing This Country Apart’     In Thursday’s segment of the “The Donlon Report,” anchor Joe Donlon interviewed immunologist and public health advocate Dr. Hooman Noorchashm, who said President Biden’s COVID vaccine mandate policies ignore about 100 million Americans who are already immune. 

“The problem is that we need to be focused on immunity. Instead, the Biden administration is focused on a one-size-fits-all vaccination and ignores about a hundred million Americans who are already immune and all the data is showing that these folks are equally, if not better protected from reinfection. It’s really tearing this country apart.

“I think there’s a large number of folks who are vaccine hesitant or are on the fence about the vaccine who are COVID recovered … if I just had a whopping case of COVID, why should I go get this vaccine that has a certain incidence of complications?”      https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/joe-donlon-hooman-noorchashm-biden-covid-vaccine-mandate-natural-immunity/

2021-10-08 UCLA Doctor ‘Willing to Lose Everything’ Escorted From Work for Refusing COVID Vaccine An anesthesiologist at UCLA Health in California who has not shied away from airing his suspicions about COVID-19 vaccines was escorted out of his workplace this week for refusing to get vaccinated in defiance of a statewide and employer mandate, according to local reports and a video posted on Twitter.

“This is what happens when you stand up for freedom and when you show up to work, willing to work, despite being unvaccinated, and this is the price you have to pay sometimes,” Rake is heard saying in the video posted Tuesday by The Beverly Hills Courier staff writer Samuel Braslow. “But what they don’t realize is that I’m willing to go lose everything — job, paycheck, freedom, even my life for this cause.”    https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article254829122.html

2021-10-08 Florida Board of Education Votes to Withhold Funds From School Districts That Enforce COVID Mask Mandates  The Florida Board of Education voted unanimously on Thursday to financially sanction eight school districts that enforced mask mandates in their schools to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These district mask policies, which adhere to federal guidance, go against state rules that require parents to have the “sole discretion” in whether their children wear masks to school. The decision was made at Thursday’s meeting after board members weighed comments from the public, superintendents and board officials about whether districts for Alachua, Brevard, Broward, Duval, Leon, Miami-Dade, Orange and Palm Beach counties were in compliance with the state’s rules.      https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-mask-mandates-florida-board-of-education-funds/

Merck is charging the U.S. government $712 for the same amount of medicine, or 40 times the price. https://tissuepathology.com/2021/10/08/merck-sells-federally-financed-covid-pill-to-u-s-for-40-times-what-it-costs-to-make

2021-10-08 From Drug Discovery to Coronaviruses: Why Restoring Natural Habitats Is Good for Human Health     Peninah Murage and colleagues argue the preservation of biodiversity is vital to human health and should therefore be embedded into medical and healthcare studies.  

two concepts (natural habitats and biodiversity) are interdependent because complex symbiotic interspecies relationships are the foundation of thriving natural habitats.

Nearly every aspect of our survival depends on exploiting natural resources — when land is converted for food production and housing, for example, or for the extraction of energy, raw materials and water. The unsustainable use of natural resources has led to short term improvements in human health characterized by increases in life expectancy and a global decline in poverty.

But these are matched by an unprecedented alteration of the natural world characterized by loss of primary forests, species extinction, concentration of greenhouse gases and ocean acidification, among others. This has perilous consequences to the planet and to human health in the long term.      https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/restoring-natural-habitats-biodiversity-human-health/

2021-10-08 Millions of Kids’ Coronavirus Shots ‘Ready’ to Go; Initial Doses to Be Shared on a Population Basis    Within days of regulators clearing the nation’s first vaccine for younger children, federal officials say they will begin pushing out as many as 20 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric vaccine to inoculate school-age kids across America in a bid to control the coronavirus pandemic. The kickoff of the long-awaited children’s vaccination campaign could begin as soon as early November. And this time round, the government has purchased enough doses to give two shots to all 28 million eligible children, ages 5 to 11.    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/millions-of-kids-e2-80-99-coronavirus-shots-ready-e2-80-99-to-go-initial-doses-to-be-shared-on-a-population-basis/ar-AAPhCZM

2021-10-08 Merck’s New COVID Drug Is Making News — How Does It Compare to Ivermectin?   In his latest video, John Campbell, Ph.D., compared ivermectin, whose use as a COVID treatment has been widely criticized by mainstream media, with Merck’s new COVID drug, Molnupiravir, which is garnering positive media coverage.   

The peer-reviewed paper refers to ivermectin as the most studied “repurposed” medication globally, and notes that it is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and “classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an ‘essential’ broad spectrum antiparasitic, antibiotic, and has demonstrated broad antiviral activity against RNA viruses, including HIV, Zika, MERS and coronavirus.”    “And of course, ivermectin also won the Nobel Prize in 2015,” Campbell said.   

On effectiveness, Molnupiravir is lacking data. The only publicly available clinical data on Molnupiravir comes from a Merck press statement claiming the new drug is 50% effective against hospitalizations and deaths, when used as an early treatment.    For ivermectin, using publicly available data, Campbell referred to one peer-reviewed study that pegs ivermectin’s effectiveness in early treatment at 62%, and an ongoing meta-analysis which shows ivermectin is 66% effective in early treatment and 86% effective as a prophylactic.  

Using VigiBase, a WHO database on pharmaceutical safety data, Campbell showed that out of  3.7 billion doses given of ivermectin there have been only 5,693 reports of adverse events — far fewer, according to Campbell, than the number of adverse event reports associated with amoxicillin and ibuprofen, both widely used and considered safe.   Comparable safety information for Merck’s Molnupiravir is not yet available, as trials and studies are still ongoing. But Campbell did raise concern about  Molnupiravir’s mutagenic properties.  

Ivermectin is exponentially cheaper than Merck’s new Molnupiraravir.   The cost of a complete five-day course of Molnupiravir is $700 — or $70 per pill. That amounts to a 4,000% markup over what it costs Merck to make the drug.    Citing 2013 prices provided by the WHO, Campbell said a five-day course of ivermectin — 10 3mg pills — costs $0.53. (However, at today’s U.S. prices, 10 3mg pills cost about $39).  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/john-campbell-mercks-covid-molnupiravir-ivermectin/

2021-10-08 UC Irvine Director of Medical Ethics Placed on ‘Investigatory Leave’ Over Challenge to Vaccine Mandate    The University of California, Irvine has placed their Director of Medical Ethics, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, on ‘investigatory leave’ after he challenged the constitutionality of the UC’s vaccine mandate in regards to individuals who have recovered from COVID and have naturally acquired immunity.    Last month Kheriaty, also a Professor of Psychiatry at UCI School of Medicine, filed a suit in Federal court over the mandate. “Natural immunity following COVID infection is equal to (indeed, superior to) vaccine-mediated immunity. Thus, forcing those with natural immunity to be vaccinated introduces unnecessary risks without commensurate benefits — either to individuals or to the population as a whole — and violates their equal protection rights guaranteed under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment,” Kheriaty wrote in a Sep. 21 blog post.   https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/uc-irvine-director-medical-ethics-placed-investigatory-leave-over-refusal-get-vaxxed

2021-10-08 Reports of Serious Injuries After COVID Vaccines Near 112,000, as Pfizer Asks FDA to Green Light Shots for Kids 5 to 11    VAERS data released Friday by the CDC included a total of 778,685 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 16,310 deaths and 111,921 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and Oct. 1, 2021.   

This week’s U.S. data for 12- to 17-year-olds show:   21,298 total adverse events, including 1,284 rated as serious and 22 reported deaths. Two of the 22 deaths were suicides.

The most recent death involves a 16-year-old male (VAERS I.D. 1734141) who reportedly died from cardiac failure five days after receiving Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.   Other recent deaths include a 17-year-old male (VAERS I.D. 1689212) with cancer who was vaccinated April 17, tested positive for COVID on July 20, was hospitalized and passed away Aug. 29; and a 16-year-old female (VAERS I.D. 1694568) who died from a pulmonary embolism nine days after receiving her first Pfizer dose.

3,202 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds with 99% of cases,  attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.   520 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation) with 508 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.    114 reports of blood clotting disorders, with all cases attributed to Pfizer.    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vaers-cdc-serious-injuries-deaths-covid-vaccines/

2021-10-07 Fired for Refusing a COVID Vaccine? You Likely Can’t Get Unemployment Benefits As businesses and lawmakers increasingly require workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine, thousands of holdouts are losing their jobs — and they likely can’t collect unemployment benefits.   However, there may be exceptions, depending on a worker’s situation, according to employment experts. Some state legislatures are trying to change their rules altogether.    

Earlier this year, 28% of employed Americans said they wouldn’t get a Covid vaccine even if it costs them their job, according to the Society for Human Resource Management.    However, a labor agency would likely deem refusal to comply with a vaccine mandate as “misconduct,” she said. Losing one’s job as a result would therefore likely disqualify a worker from benefits (if the refusal hadn’t been for a medical or religious reason).    Similarly, quitting to avoid a mandate would also likely not be viewed as “good cause.”       https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/07/fired-for-refusing-a-covid-vaccine-you-likely-cant-get-unemployment-benefits.html

2021-10-07 CCC District V News – Criteria for Lifting Indoor Masking Order  (MEK Note: This totally ignores the reality that vaccinated people can have Covid-19 and pass it on to others. Last time this policy was implemented back in May 2021 by the CDC and White House there was a massive surge in Covid-19 cases two weeks later which was conveniently blamed on the unvaccinated despite the fact that they were still masked and shunned from these vaccinated gatherings! Instigating this policy just at the beginning of the flu season and holidays is dangerous and might cause another surge in Covid-19)

Contra Costa County Health Officer Dr. Chris Farnitano today announced the criteria that will be used to lift the current indoor-masking order in our county:

* The county reaches the CDC’s moderate (yellow) COVID-19 transmission tier and remains there for at least three weeks;

* AND There are fewer than 75 COVID-19 hospitalizations in the county;

* AND One of the following conditions is met: 

* 80% of the total population is fully vaccinated
* Eight weeks have passed since a COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized for emergency use by federal and state authorities for 5- to 11-year-olds

When these criteria are met – which is project to be at the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022 – Dr. Farnitano will lift the local masking order, which requires everyone to wear face coverings in indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status. After the local masking order is lifted, unvaccinated residents will still need to wear masks in indoor public settings under the state’s face-covering order.

2021-10-07 Maskless and unvaccinated, millions of pupils have returned to English schools As the debate on masking in classrooms rages in the U.S, England, as with its risky move to fully reopen society in July, is chartering its own course. Despite competing scientific advice, in September millions of mostly unvaccinated children returned to school — with new government guidance. Masks, in the English classroom, are no longer recommended.

The risk of death in unvaccinated children, according to the U.K. government’s vaccine surveillance reports, remains very low. In one study published in July by researchers from University College London, and the Universities of Liverpool, Bristol and York during the first 12 months of the pandemic, 25 under 18-year-olds died from COVID in England, which amounts to a mortality risk of 2 in a million. https://abcnews.go.com/International/maskless-unvaccinated-millions-pupils-returned-english-schools/story?

2021-10-07 Fully Vaccinated Countries Had Highest Number of New COVID Cases, Study Shows  The authors of a study published Sept. 30, in the European Journal of Epidemiology Vaccines said the sole reliance on vaccination as a primary strategy to mitigate COVID-19 and its adverse consequences “needs to be re-examined.”

the study found the most fully vaccinated nations had the highest number of new COVID cases, based on the researchers’ analysis of emerging data during a seven-day period in September.

Notably, Israel with more than 60% of its population fully vaccinated, had the highest COVID cases per 1 million people during the seven-day period.   Iceland and Portugal, with more than 75% of their populations fully vaccinated, had more COVID cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa, where only about 10% of the population is fully vaccinated.

Across U.S. counties, the median new COVID cases per 100,000 people during the seven-day period was similar across the categories of percentage of population fully vaccinated.   Of the top five counties with the highest percentage of population fully vaccinated (99.9% – 84.3%), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified four as “high” transmission counties.   Three of the four counties classified as “high” transmission had fully vaccinated rates of 90% or higher. Conversely, of the 57 counties classified as “low” transmission by the CDC, 15 had fully vaccinated rates of 20% or lower.https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fully-vaccinated-countries-highest-number-new-covid-cases

2021-10-07 Pfizer Execs Warn Staff: Don’t Tell Public About Use of Fetal Cells in Vaccine Testing   Project Veritas released the fifth video in its COVID vaccine investigative series Wednesday featuring an interview with Pfizer insider, Melissa Strickler. Strickler shared internal emails from corporate executives telling staff to be secretive about the use of human fetal tissue in laboratory testing of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.    

“The risk of communicating this right now outweighs any potential benefit we could see, particularly with general members of the public who may take this information and use it in ways we may not want out there. We have not received any questions from policy makers or media on this issue in the last few weeks, so we want to avoid raising this if possible,” she said.      https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/project-veritas-melissa-strickler-pfizer-covid-vaccine-fetal-cells/

2021-10-07 COVID Immunity Through Infection or Vaccination: Are They Equal?     Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, a psychiatry professor at the University of California, Irvine, in August, he sued to stop the university system’s vaccination mandate, saying “natural” immunity had given him and millions of other people better protection than any vaccine could.    A judge last week dismissed Kheriaty’s request for an injunction against the university over its mandate, which took effect Sept. 3.

That having been said, evidence is growing that contracting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is generally as effective as vaccination at stimulating your immune system to prevent the disease. Yet federal officials have been reluctant to recognize any equivalency, citing the wide variation in COVID patients’ immune responses to infection.

Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, a clinical professor of population and public health sciences at the University of Southern California, co-authored an analysis published last week that showed that infection generally protects for 10 months or more. “From the public health perspective, denying jobs and access and travel to people who have recovered from infection doesn’t make sense,” he said.   A large study in August from Israel, which showed better protection from infection than from vaccination, may help turn the tide toward acceptance of prior infection, Klausner said. “Everyone is just waiting for Fauci to say, ‘Prior infection provides protection,’” he said.   https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/covid-immunity-through-infection-or-vaccination-are-they-equal-n1280962

2021-10-07 Biden Calls on More U.S. Businesses to Require COVID Vaccinations    President Joe Biden on Thursday said more U.S. businesses should obligate workers to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, calling the move vital to ending the pandemic and sustaining the economy.    “Today I’m calling on more employers to act,” Biden said.   https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-tout-vaccine-mandates-large-companies-chicago-trip-2021-10-07/

2021-10-07 Merck’s 4,000% Markup of Taxpayer-Funded COVID Drug Is ‘Extortion,’ Critics Say   Pharma giant Merck is facing accusations of price gouging after it charged the U.S. more than $700 per patient for a taxpayer-funded coronavirus treatment that, according to research, costs just $17.74 to produce.    

Last week, Merck announced plans to request emergency federal authorization for molnupiravir after a late-stage clinical trial showed that a five-day course of the antiviral drug cut the risk of COVID-19 hospitalization or death in half in patients with mild-to-moderate cases.

The same day Merck unveiled the results of the trial and White House officials hailed the drug as another possible tool against COVID-19, the New York Times reported that “the federal government has placed advance orders for 1.7 million courses of treatment, at a price of about $700 per patient” — far more than the estimated cost of manufacturing the drug.     https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/merck-price-gouging-taxpayer-funded-covid-drug/

2021-10-07 Studies Confirm Pfizer Vaccine Immunity Wanes at 2 Months, as Pharma Giant Seeks FDA Approval for Kids 5 to 11   A study from Israel covering 4,800 healthcare workers showed antibody levels waned rapidly after two doses of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. Meanwhile, Pfizer today officially asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to authorize its vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old.

A prospective longitudinal study from Israel covering 4,800 healthcare workers showed antibody levels waned rapidly after two doses of vaccine “especially among men, among persons 65 years of age or older and among persons with immunosuppression.”

“Published work about many vaccines, such as those against measles, mumps and rubella, has shown a small decrease each year of 5% to 10% in the neutralizing antibody levels,” researchers wrote. “We found that a significant and rapid decrease in humoral response to the BNT162b2 [Pfizer/BioNTech] vaccine was observed within months after vaccination.”

A second study from Qatar looked at actual infections among the nation’s highly vaccinated population, who mostly received Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.

Estimated effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infection was negligible for the first two  weeks after the first Pfizer dose, increased to 36.8% in the third week after the first dose, and reached its peak at 77.5% in the first month after the second dose.   Pfizer has consistently claimed the company’s own efficacy data demonstrate 95% efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, which was not observed in this study.

The researchers said effectiveness declined gradually, starting from the first month after the second dose, accelerated after the fourth month and reached a low level of approximately 20% in months 5 through 7 after the second dose.

Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech, today asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to authorize their COVID vaccine for emergency use for children 5 to 11 years old.

“Per Pfizer’s Sept. 20 press release announcing the trial’s results, the trial didn’t show the vaccine reduced hospitalizations (which are basically non-existent in healthy children) or even mild cases,” Berenson said.   Nowhere in Pfizer’s press release did it say the vaccine did anything to make kids stay healthier, Berenson explained. “But it did reveal side effects generally comparable to those observed in participants 16 to 25 years of age,” he said. “In other words, (sometimes severe) headaches, fatigue and fever.”

2021-10-07 Dr. Mercola to CNN: You Have the Power to Save Lives — Why Won’t You Use It? After CNN ran an article last week attacking Dr. Joe Mercola and his book, “The Truth About COVID-19,” Mercola published a response, which included a plea for CNN to “share lifesaving information that could turn the pandemic around and save lives in the process.”

CNN and other media outlets have the power to share lifesaving information that could turn the pandemic around and save lives in the process — but they won’t —  instead, the media are ignoring the basics of healthy immune function and the importance of early COVID-19 treatment to continue to push the narrative that the only solution is to get an injection.   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/mercola-cnn-article-book-the-truth-about-covid-19/

2021-10-07 How the Risk of COVID for Kids Compares to Other Dangers    There were reports this summer of more children under 18 falling ill with COVID-19, and some pediatric hospital wards filling up, leading many to believe that the pandemic is now a serious threat to children, too.

But experts maintain that the risks most children face from COVID-19 are low, even with the Delta variant. “The risk in children has not changed with the new variant as far as we can tell,” Betsy Herold, a pediatric infectious disease physician at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, told me.

Herold estimates that less than 2 percent of children known to be infected by the coronavirus are hospitalized, and less than 0.03 percent of those infected die. 

We also don’t know exactly why children are at much lower risk of Covid-19, and the situation could still change — a variant could evolve that proves more dangerous to children. But experts, on the whole, are optimistic so far that children’s natural defenses against the virus have held up. That resilience isn’t just good news for parents; it’s a hopeful sign for the future of Covid-19. As the virus becomes endemic, future generations might be regularly exposed to SARS-CoV-2 at a young age. But children’s natural defenses are likely to crush it, building immunity, piece by piece, that could help shield them for a long time. Coupled with the vaccines, the generational buildup in natural immunity could, over time, defang the virus.  https://www.vox.com/22699019/covid-19-children-kids-risk-hospitalization-death

2021-10-06 Sweden, Denmark Pause Moderna’s COVID Vaccine for Younger Age Groups Citing Reports of Myocarditis   Sweden will pause Moderna’s COVID vaccine for people under age 30, while Denmark said it will halt use of Moderna’s vaccine in people under age 18.  

The Swedish health agency said it would pause the vaccine for people born in 1991 and later, as data pointed to an increase of myocarditis and pericarditis among youths and young adults who had been vaccinated, Reuters reported.   “The connection is especially clear when it comes to Moderna’s vaccine, ‘Spikevax,’ especially after the second dose,” the health agency said in a statement.   Earlier this week, the Swedish health agency said 12- to 15-year-olds would only get Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.

“In the preliminary data … there is a suspicion of an increased risk of heart inflammation, when vaccinated with Moderna,” the Danish Health Authority said in a statement.

Norway, which already recommends the Comirnaty vaccine for minors, reiterated Wednesday rare side effects could happen, particularly in boys and young men, and mainly after receiving a second dose.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the use of Comirnaty in May, while Spikevax was approved for use in children over 12 in July, U.S. News reported.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle that can lead to cardiac arrhythmia and death. According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, myocarditis can result from infections, but “more commonly the myocarditis is a result of the body’s immune reaction to the initial heart damage.”

Pericarditis is inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart that can cause sharp chest pain and other symptoms.

According to the the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, there have been 6,561 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis reported following COVID vaccines, with 4,885 cases attributed to Pfizer, 1,515 cases to Moderna and 161 cases to Johnson & Johnson’s COVID vaccine between Dec. 14, 2020 and Sept. 24, 2021.    Among 12- to 17-year-olds, there have been 617 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis, with 603 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/sweden-denmark-pause-moderna-covid-vaccine-myocarditis/?

2021-10-06 Canada Issues COVID Vaccine Mandate for Travelers 12 or Older on Trains and Planes   Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday announced a nationwide COVID-19 vaccine mandate for rail and air travelers as well as staff. “Today we are fulfilling two of our main commitments — mandatory vaccination for federal employees and mandatory vaccination for travel,” Trudeau said.

Canada will also have a vaccine mandate for federally regulated workers in place by the end of the month, according to Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.

Trudeau said that by the end of October all travelers 12 or older on a plane or train within Canada must be fully vaccinated. Trudeau said there will be a short grace period where unvaccinated travelers or staff “can provide a negative COVID-19 test.”    https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/canada-trudeau-vaccine-mandate/index.html

2021-10-06 Pfizer Scientists in Undercover Videos Say Natural Immunity Likely Better Than COVID-19 Vaccination A trio of scientists at Pfizer were recorded speaking to undercover reporters about the existence of natural immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19, with one saying employees had been told not to discuss the protection publicly.

“When somebody is naturally immune—like they got COVID—they probably have better, like not better, but more antibodies against the virus,” said Nick Carl, one of the scientists. “So your antibodies are probably better at that point than the vaccination,” he added later.

Chris Croce, another scientist at Pfizer, told an undercover reporter that people are “probably more” protected by natural immunity when compared with vaccination. “You’re protected most likely for longer since there was a natural response,”

A third scientist who allegedly works for Pfizer, Rahul Khandke, said that employees have had to sit through many seminars where they’re told that getting the company’s vaccine is safer than getting COVID-19 and that they cannot discuss the differences in public. https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/pfizer-scientists-in-undercover-videos-say-natural-immunity-likely-better-than-covid-19-vaccination_4034713.html

2021-10-06 Behind India’s Ivermectin Blackout: New COVID Cases Dropped 97% in 5 Weeks In June, five weeks after health officials in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, launched an aggressive program to fight COVID and the Delta variant, new cases dropped by a staggering 97.1%.

The health officials went door-to-door in the state of 230 million residents, providing a test and treat program with medicine kits. The World Health Organization (WHO) praised the overwhelming success of the program, but would not identify the medicines used in the kits provided to residents.

Each home kit contained the following: Paracetamol tablets [tylenol], Vitamin C, Multivitamin, Zinc, Vitamin D3, Ivermectin 12 mg [quantity #10 tablets], Doxycycline 100 mg [quantity #10 tablets]. Other non-medication components included face masks, sanitizer, gloves and alcohol wipes, a digital thermometer, and a pulse oximeter.    https://www.worldtribune.com/behind-indias-ivermectin-blackout-new-covid-cases-dropped-97-percent-in-5-weeks/

2021-10-06 Man Behind COVID Licking Hoax Sentenced to Federal Prison   A San Antonio man on Monday was sentenced to more than a year in prison for claiming on social media that he paid someone with COVID-19 to go to area grocery stores and lick products.

A federal jury found 40-year-old Christopher Charles Perez guilty on two counts criminalizing false information and hoaxes related to biological weapons, according to a Department of Justice news release.   Perez said the two messages he posted on Facebook were meant to deter people from shopping as he believed there were too many people at grocery stores. An FBI investigation determined that the threats were a hoax.

  “Those who would threaten to use COVID-19 as a weapon against others will be held accountable for their actions, even if the threat was a hoax,” FBI San Antonio Division Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs added.    “Perez’s actions were knowingly designed to spread fear and panic and today’s sentencing illustrates the seriousness of this crime,” he said. “The FBI would like to thank our law enforcement partners for their help in this case.”    https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/575570-man-behind-covid-19-licking-hoax-sentenced-to

New daily cases in Tokyo dropped to 87 on Monday, the lowest tally since Nov. 2 last year, and a precipitous decline from more than 5,000 a day in an August wave that hammered the capital’s medical infrastructure.    The pattern is the same across the country.     https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/japans-dip-covid-19-cases-baffles-experts-winter-nightmare-still-risk-2021-10-05/

2021-10-05 AstraZeneca Seeks U.S. Approval for Drug Cocktail to Prevent COVID   AstraZeneca (AZN.L) has requested emergency approval from U.S. regulators for its antibody cocktail, the first protective shot other than vaccines against COVID-19, another potential major step in the global fight to combat the virus.

While vaccines rely on an intact immune system to develop targeted antibodies and infection-fighting cells, Astra’s biotech compound known as AZD7442 contains lab-made antibodies designed to linger in the body for months to contain the virus in case of an infection.

COVID-19 therapies based on the same class of monoclonal antibodies are sold by rivals Regeneron (REGN.O), Eli Lilly (LLY.N) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK.L) and its partner Vir (VIR.O) to stop the disease from worsening during early, milder stages of the infection.    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/astrazeneca-files-us-approval-drug-prevent-covid-19-2021-10-05/

2021-10-05 COVID Vaccines Are Being Administered Incorrectly, Expert Says   On the latest episode of “The Jimmy Dore Show,” Dore questioned if COVID-19 vaccines are being administered incorrectly.   “Basically, most people in the United States and the UK are administering the COVID-19 vaccinations the wrong way,” Campbell said.

Vaccine Expert John Campbell, Ph.D. says that when COVID vaccines are injected into a blood vessel, instead of a muscle, it can lead to serious heart problems.    Campbell explained that when administering the COVID vaccine, “an injection intended to be administered intramuscularly,” nurses are failing to determine if the needle is in a muscle or in a blood vessel.

The Oxford Study also criticized the regulatory bodies, stating, “The World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) no longer recommend aspiration of syringe plunger during intramuscular injections.” “These are the official government bodies that control vaccination telling healthcare professionals almost explicitly … don’t do your vaccinations properly, don’t administer the vaccines safely,” Campbell said.    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/jimmy-dore-john-campbell-covid-vaccines-administered-incorrectly/

2021-10-05 Exclusive: Healthy Young Mother Dies of Vaccine-Induced Blood Clot. Then Twitter Censors Her Obituary.   Jessica Berg Wilson, a 37-year-old stay-at-home mother from Washington, was a healthy and vibrant woman who passed away suddenly on Sept. 7. According to Jessica’s obituary, doctors diagnosed her with vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT).   Twitter censored Jessica’s obituary, because it attributed her death to vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia caused by the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine.  Twitter’s fact-checkers — who have never spoken with their family to verify Jessica’s story — affixed “misleading” and “misinformation” labels to her obituary.   Because of the Twitter labels, people couldn’t interact with Jessica’s obituary, or share the story.

VITT is a rare, and sometimes fatal, blood-clotting condition triggered by COVID vaccines.

On Aug. 29, Jessica went to a Seattle pharmacy to get her COVID vaccine and was told she would be receiving the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) shot. Jessica had no underlying health conditions, her husband said.

Jessica was “vehemently opposed” to taking the vaccine, “considering her stay-at-home mom status, state of good health and young age in conjunction with the known and unknown risk of an unproven vaccine,” Wilson said.    But Jessica was pressured to get the vaccine due to a vaccine mandate at their child’s school requiring “room moms” who wished to serve in the classroom be fully vaccinated.

According to Ivancie, Jessica became ill after receiving J&J’s vaccine, and went to the emergency room at UW Medical Center.   Jessica had been vaccinated and was suffering various severe symptoms. But attending doctors insisted on giving Jessica a COVID test and sent her home. They did not pursue any other treatment.   Once at home, Jessica lost consciousness and was taken by ambulance to UW Medical Center in Seattle, where doctors diagnosed her with VITT.  A team of doctors worked to relieve pressure on Jessica’s brain, but ultimately, it was too late. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/jessica-berg-wilson-dies-covid-vaccine-twitter-censors-obituary/?  

2021-10-05 How Many People Have Died From COVID? Nobody Really Knows.    Health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci claim there are likely far more COVID-19 deaths than have been reported. But one investigation found the opposite to be true: COVID deaths may have been overreported by as much as 500%.%.  

  • COVID-19 deaths may have been overreported, in some cases by as much as 500%, according to a Full Measure investigation.
  • In Colorado, homicide-suicide deaths were counted as COVID-19 casualties because they were listed in a database of people who had tested positive for COVID-19 within 28 days of their death.
  • Someone who died “with” COVID-19 may be counted as a death among COVID-19 cases, even if the virus had nothing to do with their death.
  • In Alameda County, California, when they removed deaths that weren’t directly caused by COVID-19 from their official count, the number of “COVID” deaths dropped by 25%.
  • May 1, 2021, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC) stopped monitoring most COVID-19 infections among vaccinated people.
  • The end result is that there’s no way to know how many people have been infected, including among the vaccinated, and how the virus is spreading — it’s possible the CDC stopped tracking most COVID-19 cases among the vaccinated in order to obscure just how commonly the vaccines are failing. 

The distinction comes down to some tricky wording: deaths “among” COVID-19 cases and deaths “due to” COVID-19, or dying “of” COVID or “with” COVID. Someone who died with COVID-19 may be counted as a death among COVID-19 cases, even if the virus had nothing to do with their death.

Grand County, Colorado, coroner Brenda Bock “I had a homicide-suicide the end of November, and the very next day it showed up on the state website as COVID deaths. And they were gunshot wounds. And I questioned that immediately because I had not even signed off the death certificates yet, and the state was already reporting them as COVID deaths.”    The reasoning behind counting the homicide-suicide deaths as COVID-19 casualties was that they were listed in a database of people who had tested positive for COVID-19 within 28 days of their death.

“Beginning May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections to investigating only those among patients who are hospitalized or die, thereby focusing on the cases of highest clinical and public health significance.”

ProPublica detailed the case of Meggan Ingram, a 37-year-old who is fully vaccinated but tested positive for COVID-19. She became sick enough to require oxygen and intravenous steroids in a hospital for three hours, but wasn’t admitted. Her case won’t be counted among the official count, and neither will the seven other people in her household who also tested positive — five of them fully vaccinated.

The end result is that there’s no way to know how many people have been infected, including among the vaccinated, and how the virus is spreading.

2021-10-05 Pfizer Scientist: Natural Immunity Is Better Than the COVID Vaccine Project Veritas’ fourth video in its COVID vaccine investigative series quotes two Pfizer scientists who said natural immunity is better than Pfizer’s vaccine, and one who called the company “evil” and said it’s “run on COVID money.” Three Pfizer officials saying that antibodies lead to equal if not better protection against the virus compared to the vaccine.

Nick Karl, a scientist who is directly involved in the production of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, said that natural immunity is more effective than the very vaccine he works on, and Pfizer produces. “The city [of New York] needs like vax cards and everything. It’s just about making it so inconvenient for unvaccinated people to the point where they’re just like, ‘F*ck it. I’ll get it.’ You know?”

The third Pfizer scientist, Rahul Khandke, admitted his company demands that its employees keep information from the public. “We’re bred and taught to be like, ‘vaccine is safer than actually getting COVID.’ Honestly, we had to do so many seminars on this. You have no idea. Like, we have to sit there for hours and hours and listen to like — be like, ‘you cannot talk about this in public,’” Khandke said. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/project-veritas-pfizer-scientist-nick-karl-natural-immunity-covid-vaccine/

2021-10-05 Every Airline to Mandate COVID Vaccines for Their Employees   Many airlines fall under President Joe Biden‘s sweeping order that companies with more than 100 employees must ensure workers are vaccinated or undergo weekly testing for the virus.    Many airlines are also government contractors that must meet a December 8 deadline set by Biden to enforce vaccination requirements, without the testing option.

Among the major U.S. carriers, only Delta Air Lines has held off on mandating vaccines for employees, but the airline has said unvaccinated employees enrolled in the company’s health care plan will face a $200 monthly surcharge.    https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/every-airline-to-mandate-covid-vaccines-for-their-employees/ar-AAPakqs

2021-10-04 COVID Outbreak Sparked by Fully Vaccinated Patient Challenges Vaccine-Induced Herd Immunity Theory   A paper published Sept. 30, in Eurosurveillance showed COVID spread rapidly by a fully vaccinated patient to fully vaccinated staff, patients and family members — despite a 96% vaccination rate and use of full personal protective equipment. Five patients died and nine had severe cases.

Of the 42 cases diagnosed in the outbreak, 38 were fully vaccinated with two doses of Pfizer and BioNTech’s Comirnaty vaccine, one had received only one vaccination and three were unvaccinated.   Of the infected, 23 were patients and 19 were staff members. The staff all recovered quickly. However, eight vaccinated patients became severely ill, six became critically ill and five of the critically ill died. The two unvaccinated patients tracked had mild COVID cases.   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-outbreak-vaccinated-patient-herd-immunity-theory/?

2021-10-04 Thousands Protest Washington State’s Vaccine Mandate, Sing National Anthem   Thousands gathered outside of Washington state’s Capitol Building to protest the state’s vaccine mandate, and were heard belting out the national anthem at one point.

“We’re adults and we know how to take care of ourselves,” Kelly Coyle, former state Department of Transportation employee, told The Olympian. “I don’t believe you should force someone to inject something in their body that they don’t want and lose your livelihood.” Coyle said she was forced into early retirement over Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee’s vaccine mandate for state workers.

Between 2,500 and 3,000 people attended what was dubbed the “No, you move” Rally Against the Mandate, on Sunday to protest Inslee’s vaccine mandate for the roughly 63,000 state workers in Washington. State workers are required to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18.  https://www.foxnews.com/us/washington-state-vaccine-mandate-protest-national-anthem

2021-10-04 UNICEF: Battered by Pandemic, Kids Need Mental Health Help     Governments must pour more money and resources into preserving the mental well-being of children and adolescents, the U.N.’s child protection agency urged in a report Tuesday that sounded alarms about blows to mental health from the COVID-19 pandemic that hit poor and vulnerable children particularly hard.

The United Nations Children’s Fund said its “State of the World’s Children” study is its most comprehensive look so far this century at the mental health of children and adolescents globally. The coronavirus crisis, forcing school closures that upended the lives of children and adolescents, has thrust the issue of their mental well-being to the fore.     https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-business-france-mental-health-pandemics-0d12fba9ec9408ca6325ecd39b914733

2021-10-04 New York’s Largest Healthcare Provider Fires 1,400 Unvaccinated Workers    New York State’s largest healthcare provider, Northwell Health, has fired 1,400 employees who refused to get COVID-19 vaccinations, according to a spokesman, Joe Kemp.    As with other healthcare companies that have recently terminated workers for not complying with vaccine mandates, the fired employees represent a small percentage of Northwell’s workforce of more than 76,000, all of whom are now inoculated.     https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/new-yorks-largest-healthcare-provider-fires-1400-unvaccinated-workers-2021-10-04/

2021-10-04 The Research Is Clear: Ivermectin Is a Safe, Effective Treatment for COVID. So Why Isn’t It Being Used?    Despite efforts to denigrate ivermectin as “horse paste” and prevent doctors from prescribing it and patients from using it, the latest research shows this safe, inexpensive drug is effective at keeping COVID patients out of the hospital.  

  • Since 2012, multiple in vitro studies have demonstrated that ivermectin inhibits the replication of many viruses, including influenza, Zika, Dengue and
  • ivermectin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and binding to host tissue via several observed and proposed mechanisms
  • ivermectin has potent anti-inflammatory properties with in vitro data demonstrating profound inhibition of both cytokine production and transcription of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), the most potent mediator of inflammation
  • ivermectin significantly diminishes viral load and protects against organ damage in multiple animal models when infected with SARS-CoV-2 or similar coronaviruses (Arevalo et al., 2020; de Melo et al., 2020).
  • ivermectin prevents transmission and development of COVID-19 disease in those exposed to infected patients
  • ivermectin hastens recovery and prevents deterioration in patients with mild to moderate disease treated early after symptoms
  • ivermectin hastens recovery and avoidance of ICU admission and death in hospitalized patients (Elgazzar et al., 2020; Hashim et al., 2020; Khan et al., 2020; Niaee et al., 2020; Portmann-Baracco et al., 2020; Rajter et al., 2020; Spoorthi V, 2020).
  • ivermectin reduces mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19
  • ivermectin leads to striking reductions in case-fatality rates in regions with widespread use
  • The safety, availability, and cost of ivermectin is nearly unparalleled given its near nil drug interactions along with only mild and rare side effects observed over almost 40 years of use and billions of doses administered
  • ivermectin was successful at controlling several diseases which blighted the lives of billions living in poverty in the tropics.
  • ivermectin’s discoverers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2015.
  • ivermectin is included in the World Health Organization’s “List of Essential Medicines.” It has been widely distributed in countries like India for pennies a day. The out-of-pocket cost of ivermectin at my Walgreen’s is more than$1,000. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/ivermectin-effective-treatment-covid-research/

My Personal Experiences with Covid-19

In past two months I have become aware of my only two actual experiences involving Coved-19.

1. One of my roommates (A) unvaccinated came down with Covid-19. She gave it her unvaccinated partner. They had very minor colds and no one else in the house got Covid-19. My partner and I both unvaccinated tested negative. (A) worked at Trader Joes which had announced that an undisclosed employee had tested positive for Covid-19. (A) learned from a friend and employee (B) from another store who had been working with (A) that he was the person with Covid_19. He was fully vaccinated. He had been interviewing prospective employees at another Trader Joe store. One of the interviewee’s (C) had later contacted (B) to inform him that while he (C) was fully vaccinated he had tested positive for Covid-19. So what we have is a vaccinated person gave Covid-19 to another vaccinated person who then gave it my roommate. No one would have known they had Covid-19 except for testing each took on their own imitative, because no one had any symptoms of concern. In none of these situations was anybody else in contact with these people who had contracted Covid-19 advised to isolate ,guarantee or get tested.

2. My daughter who is a medical technician at John Muir was pressured to get vaccinated in January 2021. In late June, she came down with a bad case of Covid-19. She got it from her young children who had gotten Covid-19 a few days earlier from their day care center. My grandson had minor cold and granddaughter had no symptoms. Feeling very ill, my daughter went to ER but she was never admitted to hospital. She got the treatment she needed only because of her medical training and insistence.

Remember in May 2021 when Delta variant was becoming prevalent, the CDC decided it was nor required to track vaccinated people who got Covid-19 unless they were hospitalized. This has helped hide the failure of the vaccinations in combatting the spread of Covid-19 and make it appear as if the unvaccinated were the source of recent Covid-19 cases.

My possible personal experience with Covid-19. I might have had Covid-19 back in January 2020 before it was an issue in the U.S. I went to the Woman’s March in Walnut Creek, CA in early January with 100s of others. I was campaigning for Congress and passing out fliers and talking to people. Covid -19 was a new issue in China at the time. President Trump had bragged about closing border to China visitors, but did allow over 40,00 U.S. citizens to return untested. With a large Chinese/Asian population in the Bay Area it is quite possible that some people at the rally had had contact with returnees from China. I can not be sure of this as I have never been tested to see if I have had Covid-19, but plan to soon. Anyway, a couple days later I came down with a nasty lung flu-like congestion. What was quite unusual for me, was that it lingered for some 5 weeks. I finally felt a need for a doctor visit. Doctor found nothing unusual with my health, but of course they were not looking for Covid-19 then and I finally recovered.

2021-09-30 76% of September COVID Deaths in Vermont Are Vax Breakthroughs

Just eight of the 33 Vermonters who died of COVID-19 in September were unvaccinated, the Vermont Department of Heath said Wednesday.

Health Department spokesperson Ben Truman said most of the vaccine  ‘breakthrough’ COVID-19 fatalities were elderly. Because they were among the first vaccinated, Vermont’s elderly “have had more time to potentially become a vaccine breakthrough case,” he said.

Expressed in percentages, 76% of Vermont COVID-19 fatalities were breakthrough cases. As of Tuesday, 88 percent of all eligible Vermonters (age 12 and over) had been vaccinated with at least one shot.

2021-09-28 Naturopathic Doctor Explains What The Jabs Are Doing to the Body Naturopathic Doctor Explains What The Jabs Are Doing to the Body. What she says makes perfect sense and lines up with what Dr. David Bauer of the Francis Crick Institute actually said himself..that we are seeing a 5 to 6 times drop in the neutralizing antibodies (the gold standard of your immune system) and suggesting the need for more ‘boosters’. What does every drug pusher want?..a hooked customer who keeps coming back for more..and more..and more.. https://odysee.com/@kristall.klar:2/Naturopathic-Doctor-Explains-What-The-Jabs-Are-Doing:2

2021-09-27 Pfizer, Moderna Eye Windfall Profits as COVID Booster Rollout Begins   One analyst predicted COVID boosters alone will bring in about $26 billion in global sales next year for Pfizer — who splits profits with BioNTech — and around $14 billion for Moderna if the shots are endorsed for nearly all Americans.    On Sept. 26, Pfizer CEO and Chairman Albert Bourla predicted life will return to normal within a year, but it’s likely annual COVID vaccinations will be necessary.   Bourla’s vision for a “return to normal life” would position Pfizer and Moderna to make billions in profits dispensing endless booster doses. How much the manufacturers stand to gain depends on how big the rollout is.    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pfizer-moderna-profits-covid-booster-rollout/

2021-09-24 Fear and Ignorance — Not the Virus and Unvaxxed — Are the Real Enemies in This Pandemic    Defenders of vaccination insist that indisputable, objective medical facts have determined the approach to the pandemic. Their dogmatic arguments are based on the false assumption that COVID is an enemy to be eradicated, and the vaccine is the singular weapon of choice.      Without deeper knowledge of what sustains good health, evaluations of maladies are dominated by tests and statistics, and extremis of illness is assessed by need for hospitalization or risk of death.

Medical science hasn’t begun to understand the power of natural disease immunity. The ability of the endocrine and nervous systems to seamlessly integrate in maximizing vitality, even in the face of increasing challenges, is phenomenal.

The precarious belief that we have reached an apex of understanding the human body has engendered other false assumptions, including that medicine can improve biology with powerful disruptive drugs, including vaccines.  There are legitimate concerns about what vaccines can be safely injected into a child or adult in the name of preventing illness. The hazards, particularly with additives and contaminants, have resulted in the recall of some vaccines.     The supposedly cutting-edge mRNA vaccine, developed from a growing understanding of the human genome, is designed and described as something that teaches cells how to fight off the virus.   Vaccination therapy assumes the human body needs training to best defend itself. Following the logic of this highly questionable notion, in this current conflict the enemy appears to have found ways to camouflage and evolve. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fear-ignorance-real-enemies-covid-pandemic

2021-09-24 NY Hospitals Fear Staff Shortage as Vaccine Deadline Looms    Hospitals and nursing homes in New York are bracing for the possibility that a statewide COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers could lead to staff shortages when it takes effect Monday.

Doctors and nurses — and also support staff, like food service workers and cleaners — have been given until Sept. 27 to get at least their first vaccine shot in one of the nation’s most aggressive plans to protect patients. With just days left to go before the deadline, many still hadn’t. That left the prospect of potentially thousands of healthcare workers being forced off the job next week.  https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-lifestyle-business-kathy-hochul-new-york-ceb924e4704c085b05e3439a72c928f2

2021-09-24 Dr. Peter McCullough on COVID Treatments, and Why CDC, FDA Shouldn’t Make Recommendations

On the premier episode of “Doctors and Scientists” on CHD Live!, Dr. Peter McCullough told viewers the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. Food and Drug Administration are supposed to serve doctors and patients — not make treatment recommendations.

On the premier episode of “Doctors and Scientists” on CHD Live!, host Brian Hooker, Ph.D., P.E., interviews Dr. Peter McCullough about the U.S. government’s response to the current public health crisis.   McCullough, one of the premier physicians focused on the early treatment of the COVID-19, has published 46 peer-reviewed papers on COVID.   “Dr. McCullough is a hero of mine,” said Hooker, Children’s Health Defense chief scientific officer and professor of biology at Simpson University.

The two discussed various treatment options, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, both of which are increasingly difficult to get prescriptions for, even though, according to McCullough, doctors are free to prescribe them and pharmacies don’t have the right to refuse to fill a patient’s prescription.

In response to Hooker’s question about why people who seek these prescriptions are maligned, McCullough said, “Fear plays a major role in influencing mass psychology.” 

 McCullough reminded viewers that the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. Food and Drug Administration are government public service agencies that serve doctors and patients.   “These agencies don’t treat patients,” McCullough said. “They are supposed to serve us … not make treatment recommendations.”  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/doctors-scientists-brian-hooker-peter-mccullough-covid-treatments/

2021-09-24 CDC Director Overrules Agency’s Own Vaccine Safety Committee, Sides With FDA to Approve Boosters for ‘High-Risk’ Workers   The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disregarded the advice of the agency’s vaccine advisory committee, clearing the way for healthcare workers, teachers, and residents of long-term care facilities, homeless shelters and prisons to get a third Pfizer COVID shot.    

the FDA on Wednesday granted Pfizer extended Emergency Use Authorization for boosters for people 65 and older and those at higher risk of severe disease and death, as well as frontline workers at higher risk of breakthrough infections — even though last week, the agency’s safety panel had rejected, in a 16 – 2 vote, Pfizer’s application for boosters for the general population. In opposing Pfizer’s application, the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee cited a lack of long-term data and said the vaccine’s risks did not outweigh the benefits for the broader population.    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/cdc-director-dr-rochelle-walensky-overrules-vaccine-safety-committee-boosters/

2021-09-24 Flying the Vaccinated Skies: Where Major Airlines Stand With Employee Mandates   There is no requirement for air travelers within the United States to be vaccinated against COVID-19. But depending on which airline you fly, there might be a mandate for employees.

While all major U.S. carriers are trying to get their workforces vaccinated, some are going further than others, with United being the first to mandate vaccinations, in August. Other airlines instead have been offering their employees incentives, mandating testing for the unvaccinated or tacking on an extra insurance charge.

But President Biden’s order this month — which said companies with 100 or more employees must mandate vaccination or weekly testing — will probably change the game.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/flying-the-vaccinated-skies-where-major-airlines-stand-with-employee-mandates/ar-AAOMy73

2021-09-24 Pfizer CEO — Biden’s ‘Good Friend’ — Rallies Employees to Help Keep Drug Prices High  Politico obtained a copy of a 3-minute video message from CEO Albert Bourla to Pfizer employees, in which Bourla echoes common — and misleading — pharma industry talking points against Democrats’ plan to let Medicare directly negotiate prescription drug price.   

Pfizer and its vaccine partner BioNTech have sold most of their vaccine supply to the U.S. and other wealthy nations as billions of people in low-income countries remain without access to a single dose.

An analysis released last week by the People’s Vaccine Alliance estimated that Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna have “sold more than 90% of their vaccines to rich countries, charging up to 24 times the potential cost of production.” “The COVID vaccine now accounts for more than a third of Pfizer’s overall revenue base,” the analysis found. “Pfizer has sold more than $11 billion in vaccines in the first half of this year. Pfizer is now projecting $33.5 billion in total vaccine sales for 2021, making the vaccine one of the top selling pharma products this year and potentially in the history of the pharmaceutical industry.”        https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pfizer-ceo-albert-bourla-keep-drug-prices-high/

2021-09-23 The Emperor Has No Clothes: COVID Math Simply Doesn’t Add Up    Eighteen months of COVID-related health data show the numbers promulgated by public health officials and mainstream media vastly overstate the risk of COVID and downplay the risk of vaccines.   

Whether one looks at leaders’ willingness to engage in wanton economic destruction, or the rapidity with which billionaires have amassed new wealth or the multisectoral efforts to link and mine people’s intimate data, it is not hard to recognize that something much larger than a health crisis is afoot.

However, even if one restricts oneself to the narrow confines of the health narrative, 18 months of data — emerging in spite of ferocious censorship — have repeatedly illustrated that the official story is full of lies and omissions.

One of the biggest holes in the story is the trail of destruction that the experimental COVID vaccines are leaving in their wake, with hundreds of thousands of reported injuries in the U.S. alone and, according to some statisticians, as many as 150,000 dead Americans.

With this level of damage after just nine months, now is as good a time as any to reexamine “COVID math” and highlight some of the embedded falsehoods that cast serious doubt on official and corporate pronouncements about risks and benefits.

One fact, especially, bears repeating: Through age 19, children and adolescents have a 99.9973% COVID-19 survival rate. This information, which has been a constant throughout the reported pandemic, is reiterated in the most recent analyses by Stanford physician, epidemiologist and statistician John Ioannidis, who has been a steadfast critic of COVID alarmism from the very beginning.

And Ioannidis’s good news does not stop with the 19-and-unders. Until people hit their seventies, all age groups have survival rates well over 99%:

2021-09-23 Judge Denies Mass. State Police Bid for Injunction on Vaccine Mandate   A Superior Court judge late Thursday denied the request of the union representing 1,800 members of the State Police to block the implementation of Gov. Charlie Baker’s vaccine mandate until the details can be collectively bargained.

The decision leaves unvaccinated troopers with just days to get their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine or face potential disciplinary action, including the loss of their job, when they are not fully vaccinated by mid-October. Judge Jackie Cowin ruled that the State Police Association of Massachusetts had failed to show that the implementation of the mandate on Oct. 17 would either cause irreparable harm to its members or that a delay would serve the public interest.  https://www.nbcboston.com/news/coronavirus/court-denies-mass-state-police-unions-lawsuit-over-vaccine-mandate/2499901/

2021-09-23 Exclusive: Physician ‘Horribly Injured’ After Pfizer Vaccine Pleads With Top U.S. Public Health Officials for Help — and Gets None     In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Dr. Danice Hertz said people like her who have been seriously injured by COVID vaccines are being dismissed or ignored, and because health officials won’t research their injuries and potential treatments, they have nowhere to turn. 

Danice Hertz, a 64-year-old physician who was “horribly ill” and “incapacitated” after getting Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, claims U.S. health agencies are ignoring thousands of adverse events.  Hertz said if she could go back in time, she would not have gotten vaccinated.

Hertz said she has been in contact with numerous health agencies, physicians and researchers — including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. Surgeon General and doctors at Harvard and Stanford universities and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles — in an effort to obtain help for the neurological injuries she suffered after getting the vaccine.

Hertz told The Defender there are thousands of people like her — who have been injured by COVID vaccines — who are suffering and need help, yet they’re ignored by mainstream media and U.S. health agencies. Meanwhile, COVID vaccine mandates are being rolled out for millions of Americans, with barely any discussion of the risks. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/dr-danice-hertz-injured-pfizer-covid-vaccine

2021-09-23 CNN Health Experts Cling to COVID Restrictions, Call for Extending Masks in Schools, Separating Kids in ‘Pods’  Despite a decreasing national case average and a wide-reaching vaccine mandate in place, CNN medical contributors and guests are not ready to bid farewell to the overreaching COVID-19 regulations that continue to upend daily life in the U.S.

Asked whether it would still be necessary for children to wear facemasks in their classrooms now that they can get the vaccine, the “Uncontrolled Spread” author, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, suggested asymptomatic students be tested twice a week to “cut down the risk of transmission in schools dramatically.” Gottlieb also encouraged schools to keep students in “defined social pods” to prevent them from intermingling with those outside their immediate classrooms.    CNN medical contributor Dr. Leana Wen said the country was “nowhere near” ready to start lifting mask regulations in schools.    https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-covid-restrictions-masks-schools-testing-gottlieb-leana-wen

2021-09-23 3 East Bay School Districts Go All-In on Student Vaccine Mandates    State leaders are now discussing whether a COVID vaccine should be required for all students age 12 and older to attend in-person classes.

State Health Director, Dr. Mark Ghaly, made the comments during a teleconference Thursday afternoon and Gov. Gavin Newsom echoed the idea later that same day saying, “Our health director said this is on the table. It’s being debated and, over the next few days, we’ll come out with some recommendations.”  Three districts in the Bay Area have already said they’ll be implementing vaccine mandates for students 12 and older: Oakland Unified, Hayward and Piedmont.   https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/09/23/3-east-bay-school-districts-go-all-in-on-student-vaccine-mandates/

2021-09-23 Campaign Pushes Back, Threatens to Sue City of Raleigh Over Vaccine Mandate for Employees   It has been roughly a week since the City of Raleigh’s new vaccine requirement for its employees kicked in. Employees must be fully vaccinated to be eligible for promotions.   However, the people behind a GoFundMe campaign representing city employees say the city is wrong.   The fundraiser said there are plans to sue and file a complaint against this “overreach of power and medical discrimination.”  https://www.cbs17.com/community/health/coronavirus/campaign-pushes-back-threatens-to-sue-city-of-raleigh-over-vaccine-mandate-for-employees/

2021-09-22 Black Lives Matter of Greater New York Leader Blasts Vaccine Mandates as Racist and Disrespectful  Black Lives Matter activists have turned on New York City’s leadership over what they claim are racist COVID-19 vaccine requirements. Mayor Bill De Blasio has aggressively pushed a “vaccine passport” system that bars entry to restaurants, gyms, and other public places without proof of COVID-19 inoculation. But with black residents lagging the overall population in vaccinations, the rules are disproportionately affecting a minority group usually in step with Democratic policies. The schism came to a head on Monday, when Black Lives Matter of Greater New York launched a protest outside a restaurant where enforcement of the policy sparked a melee.   Hawk Newsome is a black activist and co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York. Newsome spoke with the Washington Examiner about the difficulties vaccine-hesitant blacks are facing in the era of medical passports.  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/vaccine-mandates-outrage-disproportionately-unvaccinated-black-community-new-york-city

2021-09-21 Biden’s Vaccine Mandate — Who’s Fighting Back, and How?    Backlash against Biden’s sweeping COVID vaccine mandate has been swift, and experts say the mandate is unlikely to hold up in court. 

In his presidential campaign, Joe Biden promised he would not impose vaccine mandates. Sept. 9, Biden issued an executive order mandating all U.S. companies with 100 or more employees to require COVID vaccination or weekly testing, or face federal fines of up to $14,000 per violation.

Biden is also requiring all federal employees and federal contractors to get the shots. Postal workers and members of Congress and their staff just happen to have been made exempt from this requirement.

No exceptions for persons who have already had COVID and recovered, and therefore have antibodies to the virus, have been issued. Several lawsuits are underway by people who have natural immunity and don’t need or benefit from the mandated COVID shots.

The Republican National Committee has announced they will sue the Biden administration for issuing an unconstitutional mandate.

While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted full approval to Comirnaty, that product is not yet available. The only Pfizer shot currently available, called BNT162b2, remains under emergency use authorization, and the two differ widely in their legal liabilities.   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/biden-covid-vaccine-mandate-fighting-back/

2021-09-21 ‘This Is Evil at the Highest Level,’ Says HHS Whistleblower    In a video released Monday by Project Veritas, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services insider, Jodi O’Malley, a registered nurse, shares recorded conversations between herself and colleagues about the government’s failure to acknowledge COVID vaccine risks and lack of efficacy.

O’Malley recorded her HHS colleagues discussing their concerns about the new COVID vaccine.   Here are some of the highlights from the video:

  • Dr. Maria Gonzales, ER doctor, HHS: “All this is bullshit. Now, [a patient] probably [has] myocarditis due to the [COVID] vaccine. But now, they [government] are not going to blame the vaccine.”
  • Dr. Gonzales: “They [government] are not reporting [adverse COVID vaccine side effects] … They want to shove it under the mat.
  • Deanna Paris, registered nurse, HHS: “It’s a shame they [government] are not treating people [with COVID] like they’re supposed to, like they should. I think they want people to die.”
  • Jodi O’Malley, HHS insider and registered nurse: The COVID vaccine is “not doing what its purpose was.”
  • O’Malley: “I’ve seen dozens of people come in with adverse reactions.”
  • O’Malley: “If we [government] are not gathering [COVID vaccine] data and reporting it, then how are we going to say that this is safe and approved for use?”
  • O’Malley: I’m not afraid of blowing the whistle “because my faith lies in God and not man … You know, like what kind of person would I be if I knew all of this — this is evil at the highest level. You have the FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration], you have the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] CDC, that are both supposed to be protecting us, but they are under the government, and everything that we’ve done so far is unscientific.”
  • O’Malley: “At the end of the day, it’s about your health, and you can never get that back — and about your freedom, and about living in a peaceful society, and I’m like, ‘no.’ No. This is the hill that I will die on.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/project-veritas-jodi-omalley-hhs-whistleblower-covid-vaccine/

2021-09-21 Shadowdragon: Inside the Social Media Surveillance Software That Can Watch Your Every Move  A Michigan state police contract, obtained by The Intercept, sheds new light on the growing use of little-known surveillance software that helps law enforcement agencies and corporations watch people’s social media and other website activity.

The software, put out by a Wyoming company called ShadowDragon, allows police to suck in data from social media and other internet sources, including Amazon, dating apps, and the dark web, so they can identify persons of interest and map out their networks during investigations. By providing powerful searches of more than 120 different online platforms and a decade’s worth of archives, the company claims to speed up profiling work from months to minutes.

This new revelation about the Michigan contract raises questions about what digital surveillance capabilities other police departments and law enforcement agencies in the U.S. might be quietly acquiring. And it comes at a time when previously known government social media surveillance is under fire from civil rights and liberties advocates like MediaJustice and the American Civil Liberties Union.   https://theintercept.com/2021/09/21/surveillance-social-media-police-microsoft-shadowdragon-kaseware/

2021-09-21 More Than 726,000 COVID Vaccine Injuries Reported to VAERS as CDC, FDA Overrule Advisory Committees’ Recommendations on Third Pfizer Shot   VAERS data released Friday by the CDC included a total of 726,965 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 15,386 deaths and 99,410 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and Sept. 17, 2021.  

Of the 6,981 U.S. deaths reported as of Sept. 17, 12% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 17% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 30% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.     https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vaers-cdc-covid-vaccine-injuries-deaths-fda-third-pfizer-shot/?

2021-09-20 Experts Tell FDA Vaccines ‘Harm More People Than They Save,’ But NIH Director Believes Boosters Will Be Approved in Coming Weeks   During the Sept. 17 meeting of the FDA advisory panel to recommend whether to approve a third dose of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, physicians pointed to data they said confirm the risks of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine don’t outweigh the benefits.    

The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) recommended the agency approve Pfizer’s application for boosters only for people 65 and older and certain high-risk populations.   Two FDA officials and a group of other leading scientists recently asserted that available evidence does not yet support encouraging COVID booster shots for all Americans.

“The left barsoft represents all adverse event reports and the right barsoft represents all death adverse event reports,” Rose said. “There’s an over 1000% increase in the total number of adverse events for 2021, and we are not done with 2021. This is highly anomaly.”  

 “The onus is on the public health officials at the FDA, the CDC and policymakers to answer to these anomalies and acknowledge the clear risk signals emerging from VAERS data and to confront the issue of COVID injectable products use/risk. In my opinion [the risks] outweigh any potential benefit associated with these products, especially for children.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-vaccines-harm-people-nih-boosters-will-be-approved/

2021-09-20 Nearly 15,000 Deaths, More than 700,000 Injuries Reported to VAERS Since December 2020 Rollout of COVID Vaccines in U.S.    VAERS data released Sept. 17 by the CDC showed a total of 701,561 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 14,925 deaths and 91,523 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and Sept. 10, 2021.     

Of the 6,756 U.S. deaths reported as of Sept. 10, 12% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 17% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 31% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

2021-09-20 Politicians Who Shill for Big Pharma ‘Not Fit to Represent the People’    Carrying water for Pharma is not only a moral failure, it is also a political failure — and any politician who puts Pharma profits before the needs of constituents will lose their jobs.

Last week, Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.) was one of three Democrats who cast a pivotal no vote in the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Rice shamefully voted against giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices as part of the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better package.

Despite the setback, we’re going to win. We’re going to give Medicare negotiating power to lower drug prices for everyone. And Pharma is scared.  Pharma is so scared that they’ve launched a massive campaign against giving Medicare negotiating power. Pharma’s lobbying frenzy includes multi-million dollar TV ad buys and spending over $6 million from April to June of this year on lobbying (a 19% increase during the same time last year).

But that’s exactly why we’re going to continue to fight for — and win — lower drug prices. We’re going to win because the American people — and the vast majority of the Democratic caucus and President Biden — are on our side.    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/big-pharma-rep-kathleen-rice-medicare-build-back-better/

2021-09-20 COVID Vaccine Prompts Strong Immune Response in Younger Children, Pfizer Says The Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine has been shown to be safe and highly effective in young children aged 5 to 11 years, the companies announced early Monday morning. The news should help ease months of anxiety among parents and teachers about when children, and their close contacts, might be shielded from the coronavirus.    The need is urgent: Children now account for more than one in five new cases, and the highly contagious Delta variant has sent more children into hospitals and intensive care units in the past few weeks than at any other time in the pandemic.

Pfizer and BioNTech plan to apply to the Food and Drug Administration by the end of the month for authorization to use the vaccine in these children. If the regulatory review goes as smoothly as it did for older children and adults, millions of elementary school students could be inoculated before Halloween.   https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/20/health/covid-children-vaccine-pfizer.html

2021-09-19 Vaccinate Teens Without Parental Consent, City Child Welfare Agency Says   The city’s child welfare agency has given the green light to administer COVID-19 vaccines to more than 600 minors living in certain juvenile detention and foster homes, including when their parents say no.    The Administration for Children’s Services told partner nonprofit groups earlier this month that they are free to get 16- and 17-year-olds inoculated with the vaccine — “even if a parent cannot be located or affirmatively objects.”   ACS is lumping the Pfizer shot under “routine medical care” that many parents have already given blanket consent to, and clearing care providers to proceed with the shots even in the absence of overall consent.    https://www.thecity.nyc/2021/9/19/22680170/vaccinate-teens-without-parental-consent-nyc-child-welfare

2021-09-17 Vaccine Passports: Why Bother if Shots Don’t Prevent Infection, Transmission? Since COVID shots don’t prevent infection or spread of the virus, and the vaccinated carry the same viral load when symptomatic as unvaccinated individuals, the argument that vaccine passports will separate “public health threats” from those who are “safe” to be around falls apart.    First, more than 15 studies now show the natural immunity you get after recovering from COVID-19 is far superior and longer-lasting than what you get from the COVID shot, and secondly, lawsuits have challenged vaccine requirements that fail to accept natural immunity as an alternative to the COVID injection. Other lawsuits highlighting the illegalities of vaccine mandates have also been filed.  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vaccine-passports-covid-shots-dont-prevent-infection-transmission/

2021-09-17 URGENT: D.C. Parents, Help Us Protect Children From Being Vaccinated Without Parental Consent     Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and Parental Rights Foundation (PRF) on July 12 filed a joint lawsuit challenging the D.C. Minor Consent for Vaccinations Amendment Act of 2020 as unconstitutional to stop District of Columbia schools from vaccinating children without their parents’ knowledge or informed consent. 

The recently enacted law allows children 11 and older to receive vaccinations at school without the knowledge or consent of a parent.    Under the new law, even if the parent previously submitted a written religious exemption statement, school officials may secretly administer vaccines to the child against the parents’ written directive.    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/dc-parents-help-protect-children-vaccinated-without-parental-consent/

2021-09-17 U.S. Booster Policy Is in Flux as Studies Add to Dissent   Almost a month ago, President Biden announced a plan to make coronavirus booster shots available to most adults in the United States eight months after they received their second dose. But a week before the plan is to roll out, its contours are up in the air amid a chorus of dissent inside and outside the government. The White House has already been forced to delay offering boosters to recipients of the Moderna vaccine, and for now it is planning third shots only for those who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Depending on what two public health agencies decide in the coming days, the administration may have to change course again, perhaps restricting extra shots to older Americans and others who are particularly vulnerable to serious illness.    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/15/us/politics/booster-shots-fda.html

2021-09-17 Political Commentator Kim Iversen Unpacks ‘Alarming and Shocking’ COVID Data From Israel    Political talk show host Kim Iversen, who has been closely following COVID vaccine data in multiple countries, walks viewers through the data from Israel suggesting the vaccines are failing. 

Iversen reminded viewers that Israel was nearly fully vaccinated by February, after striking a deal with Pfizer to make its citizens “essentially … a giant study group.”  “They have very high vaccination rates in the country,” Iversen said. “Kids are still not vaccinated. There are some super ultra-Orthodox holdouts, but otherwise everybody in Israel banded together and they took the Pfizer vaccine — two doses.”

But by summer, Iversen said, Israel health officials determined the vaccine had worn off. “They saw skyrocketing numbers of cases, even after they’d hit this so-called herd immunity threshold of 70%.”  At first, Iversen said, it looked as though the vaccines might at least be protecting against more severe symptoms, because for the most part, only the unvaccinated were having to be hospitalized.

“But then as time went on … the hospitals started to fill up with fully vaccinated people,” Iversen said, “and they saw more and more cases among the fully vaccinated, and more and more of them becoming very severe to the point where the majority of their cases in the hospitals and in the ICU and those dying were fully vaccinated people.”   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/kim-iversen-covid-vaccine-data-israel/

2021-09-17 Biden Accuses Republican Governors of Risking Lives as 24 States Threaten Legal Action   President Biden accused some Republican governors on Thursday of “the worst kind of politics” by using their powers to push back against vaccination and testing requirements. “The governors of Florida and Texas are doing everything they can to undermine the lifesaving requirements that I proposed,” he said in remarks from the White House about his economic plans.  Meanwhile, Republican attorneys general from 24 states including South Carolina, Missouri and Florida threatened to “seek every available legal option” against the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate plans. In an open letter published Thursday, they called the vaccine requirements for millions of federal employees, contractors and nearly two-thirds of the private sector workforce, “disastrous and counterproductive,” adding that such a move would be a “threat to individual liberty” and could overburden companies.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/covid-19-live-updates-biden-accuses-republican-governors-of-risking-lives-as-24-states-threaten-legal-action/ar-AAOxp5o?

2021-09-17 What Happened to Variant-Specific COVID Vaccines? — Are Vaccines Tailored to Beta or Delta Still Even Necessary?   With the FDA poised to weigh in on the data supporting boosters for COVID-19 vaccines —  for the Pfizer-BioNTech shot (Comirnaty), at least — questions have been raised as to whether there’s still a need for variant-specific vaccines.

Earlier this year, some vaccine makers announced that they were developing variant-specific or multivalent vaccines. But as current versions of vaccines seem to provide lasting protection against severe illness, it’s not clear whether the other versions still have a role to play.   “Unless there is clear evidence of loss of protection, updating the vaccines every time a new variant takes over the population might not be the best strategy,” Ramon Lorenzo Redondo, PhD, a molecular virologist at Northwestern University in Chicago, told Bloomberg.  https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/94556

2021-09-17 BREAKING: FDA Panel Overwhelmingly Rejects Pfizer Booster for Healthy People16 and Older   The 16 – 2 vote against recommending a third shot of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine for people 16 and older came after a sharp debate in which many of the panel’s independent experts, including infectious disease doctors and statisticians, challenged whether the data justified a broad rollout of extra shots when the vaccines appear to still offer robust protection against severe COVID-19 disease and hospitalization.    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-panel-rejects-pfizer-booster-16-older/

2021-09-16 Experts Accuse CDC of ‘Cherry-Picking’ Data on Vaccine Immunity to Support Political Narrative

Mounting evidence shows natural immunity to COVID trumps vaccine immunity, but experts say the CDC is ignoring the long-standing science of natural immunity and manipulating data to support “what they’ve already decided.”     

 The CDC’s guidance on COVID is inconsistent with its vaccine recommendations for other contagious viruses, like chickenpox.  The CDC’s current guidance for chickenpox, for example, does not encourage those who have contracted it to vaccinate themselves against the virus. The conflicting guidance “absolutely illogical,” and accused the agency of “ignoring natural immunity.”

When the COVID vaccine rollout began in mid-December 2020, more than a quarter of Americans — 91 million — had been infected with SARS-CoV-2, according to CDC estimates.   As of this May, that proportion had risen to more than a third of the population, including 44% of adults between the ages of 18 and 59. However, the CDC instructed everyone, regardless of previous infection, to get fully vaccinated as soon as they were eligible.  By June, a Kaiser Family Foundation survey found 57% of those previously infected got vaccinated.

CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked whether people who have tested positive for the virus should still get a vaccine.   Gupta cited recent data from Israel suggesting people who recovered from COVID had better protection and a lower risk of contracting the Delta variant, compared to those with Pfizer-BioNTech’s two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.  “I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that,” Fauci said. “That’s something we’re going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response.”

Numerous studies, however, have shown people who recovered from COVID have robust, durable and long-lasting immunity.     https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/natural-immunity-cdc-vaccine-political-narrative/

2021-09-16 125 Indiana U. Health Employees Terminated After COVID Vaccine Mandate   Indiana University Health announced Thursday that 125 employees have been terminated after choosing not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. A spokesperson provided the following statement: “Indiana University Health has put the safety and well-being of patients and team members first by requiring employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Sept. 1. After a two-week unpaid suspension period ending Sept. 14, a total of 125 employees, the equivalent of 61 full time employees, chose not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and have left the organization.”   The hospital system has about 36,000 employees.    https://fox59.com/news/coronavirus/125-employees-leave-iu-health-over-covid-19-vaccine-mandate/

2021-09-16 Moderna President: ‘We Don’t Really Know’ if Additional COVID Shots Will Be Necessary   Amid the growing controversy over whether the U.S. is in need of booster or additional vaccine doses to protect against COVID-19, Moderna (MRNA) president Stephen Hoge admits much remains unknown.   “We don’t really know” if a third shot will be the final or if more are needed, Hoge told Yahoo Finance.  In addition, who would benefit most from an additional shot is still a question.   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/moderna-we-dont-really-know-if-a-third-covid-19-shot-is-necessary-135143605.html

2021-09-16 Oregon Senators File Formal Grand Jury Petition Calling for Investigation into CDC’s Willful Misconduct to Hyperinflate COVID-19 Data Following Federal Law Violations    Oregon State Senators Kim Thatcher and Dennis Linthicum jointly filed a formal petition for a federal grand jury investigation into both the CDC and FDA on August 16th in the city of Medford, Oregon, Jackson County. The official letter included eight exhibits and 20 references for evidentiary materials showing a clear need to formally investigate the agencies for willful misconduct. 

In March 2020, according to a paper published in the journal Science, Public Health Policy, and The Law, the CDC abruptly changed how death certificates were recorded for only one type of death—COVID-19—and circumvented multiple federal laws to do so. This hyperinflation of death certificate reporting kicked off an avalanche of data degradation and destructive public health policies.

Americans deserve to know the integrity of the data relied upon by agencies pushing national health policy and reshaping the fabric of American life. The CDC and FDA are issuing guidance asserted with the authority of federal law that is influencing officials at all levels of government to mandate something created by an industry that holds no liability for risk in selling its experimental and novel vaccine products. Americans are being told that these products are the only viable pathway back to a free and open society.    https://standforhealthfreedom.com/press-release/or-senators-grand-jury-petition/

2021-09-16 Fauci Flip-Flop on Vaccine Mandate Hammered in New RNC Ad    The Republican National Committee (RNC) is releasing a new video hammering President Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci for his flip-flops on vaccine mandates.   The ad, first obtained by Fox News, features several clips highlighting Fauci’s previous statements casting doubt on federal coronavirus vaccine mandates.

“There’s no secret that I feel that we should not have central [vaccine] mandates from the federal government,” Fauci said just last month while encouraging businesses to “seriously consider the idea of mandating vaccination in the enterprise for which they are responsible whether that’s a university or a place of business.”   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fauci-vaccine-mandate-flip-flop-rnc-ad

2021-09-16 She Didn’t Give Me Any Other Option.’ Religious Exemption Requests Spark Vaccine Mandate Debates    As more employers and businesses require COVID vaccinations, we’re finding religious exemptions are becoming a contentious issue for some.   

I feel like because I’m being withheld from my education because I didn’t want a medical procedure done,” said Angelina Payette.   Payette is one of only 12 students who were accepted into the St. John radiology class. She says she was kicked out by the instructor because she’s not vaccinated.

Wayne State says of the 24,000 faculty and students, 1,374 requested waivers, mostly for religious, not medical reasons — and 95-percent of the waivers were granted.

Pope Francis said yesterday, “humanity has a history of friendship with vaccines.” The ACLU also does not oppose vaccination mandates.

University of Michigan Medicine also requires vaccinations for 30,000 employees, their deadline was August 30 and they’re still calculating how many exemption requests have been filed. However union contract between the Michigan Nurses Association and Michigan Medicine does not mandate COVID vaccines for Michigan Medicine nurses.    https://www.wxyz.com/news/she-didnt-give-me-any-other-option-religious-exemption-requests-spark-vaccine-mandate-debates

2021-09-16 Biden’s Push to Combat COVID Disapproved by Over Half of Americans: Poll    Roughly half of all Americans disapprove of the push by President Biden to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for up to 100 million American workers, according to a new national poll. And nearly half of those questioned in a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday say the president’s actions to combat the surge this summer in coronavirus pandemic cases due to the highly infectious delta variant go too far.    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/americans-divided-biden-covid-poll

2021-09-16 How Politicians Make Millions Off Our Corrupt Political System   Big Tech and Big Pharma give campaign money to politicians who in turn receive non-public information about the corporations which they use to enrich their personal stock portfolios. The lawmakers then have influence over legislation that affects the companies in which they’re personally invested.  

  • Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s wealth has increased from $41 million to nearly $115 million since 2004.
  • At issue isn’t the fact that politicians are multimillionaires — rather, as noted on a recent Twitter thread by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, it’s how they made their millions.
  • In the last two years, nearly 75% of Pelosi’s stock trades have involved Big Tech stocks, totaling over $33 million in trading.
  • The trading has occurred as major legislation was proposed, controlled by the Committees Pelosi oversees, that could reshape the future of the industry.
  • Pelosi’s five most-traded stocks in the last two years — Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon and Google — were those that stood to be most affected by pending legislation.
  • The system is corrupt, with most politicians not fighting for the public but, rather, looking out for their own self-interest and wealth accumulation.  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/politicians-pelosi-make-millions-corrupt-political-system/

2021-09-16 Parents Seek COVID-19 Vaccine Trials for Their Children Ahead of Official Authorization   Many parents across the U.S. are racing to put their children in COVID-19 vaccine trials to try to protect them from the virus sooner rather than later.    The shots haven’t been proven to work safely for youngsters, and child volunteers in later-stage trials may get a placebo, rather than the vaccine. Yet parents said they were willing to take the chance and submit their children to the trials’ blood draws, COVID-19 tests and appointments to safeguard them, as well as their family and classmates.   https://www.foxnews.com/health/parents-seek-vaccine-trials-children

2021-09-16 Pediatrician Discusses Timeline for COVID-19 Vaccine Approval for Children Under 12 The Food and Drug Administration said studies for the Pfizer vaccine in children ages 5 to 12 are ready for review.   Dr. Pia Fenimore, a Lancaster County pediatrician, said the fact that studies are ready for review means the vaccine could be ready sooner than expected – possibly in mid- to late October.   “A lot of people were willing to volunteer their child for these studies, so we were able to get the numbers of children in these studies faster than we thought we would,” she said.  https://www.wgal.com/article/pediatrician-discusses-timeline-for-covid-19-vaccine-approval-for-kids-under-12/37623972#

2021-09-16 Children’s Health-Related Behaviors Negatively Impacted by COVID Pandemic   Researchers from the Department of Exercise Science have illuminated additional ways that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted children’s health.

A recent study by members of the Arnold Childhood Obesity Initiative research group has already revealed accelerated increases in children’s BMI and weight gain since the pandemic began. Now the team has published findings from a study on the impacts of the pandemic on children’s health-related behaviors (e.g., physical activity, diet, screen time, sedentary behavior, sleep).

“Compared to pre-pandemic measures, children’s physical activity, sleep timing, screen time, and diet have significantly worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Bridget Armstrong, assistant professor of exercise science and lead researcher on the study published in Pediatric Obesity. “While any one of these behavioral changes might be concerning, their confluence for such an extended period of time may have significant health impacts, including dramatic increases in childhood obesity.”   https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-09-children-health-related-behaviors-negatively-impacted.html

2021-09-16 Pandemic Caused Many Women to Abandon Plans for More Children   Nearly half of mothers report they halted plans to have additional children because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study published online Sept. 15 in JAMA Network Open.   Linda G. Kahn, Ph.D., from the NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, and colleagues assessed changes in pregnancy intention following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis included 1,179 participants in the New York University Children’s Health and Environment Study who were currently pregnant or recently postpartum.  https://consumer.healthday.com/pandemic-caused-many-women-to-abandon-plans-for-more-kids-2655027914.html

2021-09-16 The Case Against Vaccine Passports    was alerted to what was coming at the end of July. Under the headline “The time for debating vaccines passports is over,” Globe and Mail health columnist André Picard wrote that “it would be irresponsible, not to mention politically and economically self-defeating, to not try limiting the intermingling of vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.”

Two words struck me as particularly eerie: “intermingling,” and “population.” At that point, I had decided against vaccination on various grounds. The most compelling was concern for my heart. I had had some heart troubles at the end of 2020, and I knew that the new vaccines occasionally produced heart inflammation — a frequent enough side effect that Health Canada requires a caution on the labels of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Now, evidently, my decision had consigned me to a threatening “population” requiring segregation and exclusion. 

There are still holdouts. Most U.S. states have rejected or actively banned any passport system. But among my neighbors and even some old friends, there seems to be a solid consensus that any resistance to compulsory vaccination is a mark of selfishness, or much worse—of “anti-science” thinking, or conspiracy theory, or even outright denialism. Conversation is difficult under these circumstances, and has become so polarized and full of pitfalls that it has become much easier to call people names than to conduct a courteous discussion.

Vaccines have normally taken up to seven years to develop and fully test. The COVID vaccines currently on offer were developed and tested within a year. Most of the studies justifying the “emergency use authorization” they initially received were not released to the public or even to other scientists.

These vaccines, moreover, employ a new and previously untried technology. It seems, therefore, both fair and factual to call them experimental vaccines, even if the word has taken on a polemical edge in the current fraught environment. It also seems fair to insist, as some do, that these are not vaccines at all in the accepted sense.  Vaccines, as the term has previously been understood, employ a killed or attenuated form of the disease to stimulate an immune reaction. These new agents involve a genetic intervention better described as “gene therapy” rather than vaccination.

How has it been possible to convince a majority of the safety of an experimental vaccine, whose long-term effects cannot, by definition, be known?  https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2021/09/the-case-against-vaccine-passports

2021-09-16 Babies Could Be Given Pfizer’s COVID Vaccine in the U.S. This Winter    Pfizer’s COVID vaccine could be rolled out to babies as young as six months in the U.S. this winter, under plans being drawn up by the pharmaceutical giant.   In a move likely to cause international controversy, the company intends to apply for authorization to immunize American infants within the next two months.   https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9993523/American-BABIES-given-low-dose-Pfizers-jab-winter.html

2021-09-16 FDA Scientists Skeptical Over Need for Boosters, Citing Lack of Verified Data Ahead of Friday Advisory Meeting    In a 23-page report released Wednesday, FDA officials said, based on their analysis of data submitted by Pfizer and BioNTech, they could not yet take a stance on whether to recommend COVID boosters for the general public.

Pfizer “basically hasn’t bothered to test its booster at all in the people who are actually at risk.” In fact, it only conducted a single “phase 1” trial that covered 12 people over age 65.   “The main Phase 2/3 booster trial (beware efforts to cover multiple “phases” of drug research at once), included no one over 55,” Berenson said. “No one. As in none.”   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-scientists-pfizer-covid-boosters-lack-data/

2021-09-16 Louisiana Nurses Refusing to Get the COVID Vaccine    Louisiana’s largest hospital systems are requiring their employees to be fully vaccinated, but a minority of nursing staff say they are still considering leaving their jobs instead of getting the jab, citing concerns over personal liberty, lack of long-term studies, and discredited conspiracy theories …    “I will not take it and if I get fired, so be it,” said Pam, an LPN employed at an Oschner family medicine clinic in Hammond, Louisiana. “I’m completely against it. If they can take this freedom away from us, what else can they take away from us?  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/16/nurses-coronavirus-vaccine-louisiana   

2021-09-16 Myocarditis VAERS Analysis Sparks Social Media Uproar   Researchers are getting pushback over a medRxiv preprint that relied heavily on Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data to characterize myocarditis risk with the COVID-19 vaccine in adolescents, particularly young boys.

The report by Tracy Høeg, MD, PhD, of the University of California Davis, and colleagues found that rates of “cardiac adverse events” after the second dose were higher than previous CDC estimates, at 162 per million among boys ages 12 to 15 and 94 per million among boys ages 16 to 17. (Rates were much lower for girls, at about 13 per million for each age group.)  https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/94530

My Initial Statements Concerning ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic!

Let me first explain that I am not at this moment taking a firm stand as to whether you should be vaccinated. It should always be a free choice of every adult based on their own health and other security needs. No one should be forced to take a Covid19 vaccine, as these vaccines have not been shown to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The vaccinated can still get and pass on the virus to others. At best, the Covid-10 vaccines seems to provide some individuals, who have serious illnesses and weakened immunity, some extra protection from serious health consequences. The two mRNA vaccines use an experimental untested technology. None of the vaccines have even undergone the normal rigorist testing usually required before mass distribution. The adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccines have been shown to be 1000% greater than all vaccines together in previous years before Covid-19. The death rate associated with those under 25 is very very low and with the significant known health risks from the vaccine, I would not recommend those under 25 be vaccinated unless an individual has significant underlying health risks.

[MEK Note: While research on this issue is ongoing, since the government is aggressively forcing adults and pressuring their children to get vaccinated, I felt it was important to make some preliminary public statements along with my research. My statements are supported by facts and research that is being outrageously censored by the Government, CDC and Media. The Information covers involvement in lies, distortions, criminal activity and manipulated data by CDC, other government entities & various corporate interests. I have found that both Democrat and Republican interests are playing on supporter emotions by deliberately distorting data and truth to defend their positions. Anyway, I do hope that I have provided below some important information with their sources. Much of this information is being censored by corporate, social and sadly some progressive media.]

My Personal Experiences with Covid-19

What I have discovered from my research at this time!

  • 1. The massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the super rich,
  • 2. The relentless public stigmatizing of the unvaccinated
  • 3. Reports about Covid-19 rates between Vaccinated and Unvaccinated have used manipulated data! Examples: In August CDC said “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated”! However data used was from origin of Covid-19 in early 2020 to May 2021when few people had been vaccinated. Further, in May 2021 the CDC decided not to track Covid-19 cases among the vaccinated that didn’t require hospitalization or death, but would still track all Covid-19 cases of the unvaccinated. Covid-19 cases were going down every week, when CDC and President stated that the vaccinated didn’t need to wear masks and restrict socialization among each other. Two weeks later, there was a sudden surge in Covid-19 cases! In response, masks and social distancing were again recommended by the vaccinated.
  • These current vaccines do nothing but limit serious reaction to Covid-19 at best. You can still get and transmit Covid-19 at the basically the same rate as the unvaccinated. If 95% of people who get Covid-19 naturally are minimally affected, why are they being forced to get vaccinated?
  • 4. Why forced vaccination mandates for everyone when some 95% of people (near 100% of children and those under 25) suffer only minor or no adverse symptoms when they get Covid-19. https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/COVIDNet/COVID19_3.html
  • Those who have had Covid-19 are said to have up to 13 times more immunity resistance to reinfection from Covid-19 variants than those with the vaccine, so why are they being forced to get a vaccine?
  • Approximately 90% of hospitalized patients identified through COVID-NET had one or more underlying conditions, the most common being obesity, hypertension, chronic lung disease, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease.
  • 5. Almost all Covid-19 deaths are of people with prior serious morbidity health conditions. It is less age, but more one’s immunity & prior health conditions that mostly determine susceptibility to serious reactions to the virus! It is just a fact that the older you are the more likely you are to have more serious health conditions.
  • 6. A number of nations were very successful in restraining the spread of Covid-19 in their own countries prior to any vaccines. They did combinations of prompt Testing, Masking, Social Distancing, Isolations, Strategic Lockdowns and Community Support. Sweden advised and educated its citizens, but never took any government actions on Covid-19 and they as well if not better than most other European nations. The U.S. has had by far the worst outcomes concerning the virus in the world.
  • 7. The risks of serious adverse reactions to these rushed experimental vaccines is many times greater than any other previous vaccines except for the one other seriously failed vaccine that was banned after 10s of millions of dosages! This has been ignored or downplayed.
  • 8.
  • 9. Those who have had Covid-19 are said to have up to 13 times more immunity resistance to reinfection from Covid-19 variants than those with the vaccine, so why are they being forced to get a vaccine?
  • 10. It should be major child abuse to give a child under 18 one of these vaccines unless they have certain prior serious health conditions. Vaccines need to be an individual adult choice for themselves! Families should be given all the facts and risk factors before giving their children vaccines. The government is criminal in pressuring the vaccination of children.
  • 11. Massive corruption in the vaccine program. There is no liability under EUA for those involved in developing, manufacturing and providing vaccines. The approved Pfizer’s vaccine is different than their unapproved EAU one they are still distributing in the current mandates. Pfizer is unloading its massive backlog of EAU vaccines before mass production and distribution of the approved version with brand name Comirnaty. Pfizer also dragging its feet until it gets liability immunity for Comirnaty. If you get their new Comirnaty you can sue if you have serious problems from the vaccine. Their EAU vaccine has left many of the 10’s of thousands of victims without real redress.
  • 12. In October just before Covid-19 broke out in Wuhan, there was a rather secretive exercise sponsored by Bill Gates that simulated a virus pandemic just like Covid-19 less than 2 months later. Other than Dr. Fauci’s CDC there were few if any other medical experts involved in this exercise, but the Pharmaceutical Industry was there in force.
  • 13. Dr. Fauci and U.S. Government have been involved in Wuhan labs researching “gain of function” or weaponizing virus including ones associated with Covid-19. Lots of strange coincidences and secrecy involved in virus activities restricted in the U.S. in past. There is some solid reasons to suspect the Covid-19 virus came from the Wuhan labs.
  • 14. This is my imagined nightmare. Notice how the super rich and governments still refuse to take the pending runaway climate catastrophe seriously (like we needed a WWII like effort years ago). Are they all ignorant! Or is there another plan outside of political legislative action! May I suggest the drastic REDUCING of WORLD POPULATION. Some 10 billion people is considered the uppermost population limit where food is concerned. If everyone on Earth lived like a middle class American, then the planet might have a carrying capacity of around 2 billion. But neither of these predictions consider the climate situation. What is the population needed NOW to avert the imminent climate catastrophe. I don’t know exactly, but we would need to get rid very soon of billions of the near 8 billion people we now have on earth. Could Covid-19 be just the beginning of a relative rapid population decimation?
