COVID-19 Vaccine Informed Consent

As of late, Banner Health and Banner Community Integrated Network, in which I participate as a physician, is requiring that I recommend the COVID-19 vaccination to my patients.  In order to be compliant with their requirement and my duty as a physician to “do no harm,” your understanding of the following data is necessary to give you a clear picture of the pros and cons to COVID-19 vaccination.

Please read, contemplate and sign this Informed Consent document before you receive any COVID-19 vaccination or booster.  (A hardcopy of this informed consent is available in our office)

—————————————

You have asked for guidance in regards to the health risks and benefits of complying with COVID-19 mRNA experimental vaccination therapy required by your institution or place of employment.  Although this medical intervention and injection does not meet the traditional definition of a vaccine defined by the CDC and published on their website in 2012 (the CDC changed the definition of “vaccine” in 2021 to fit this therapy), the term vaccine will be employed for ease of use in the below.

Note that the long-held (but presently ignored) standard for informed consent requires that I fully disclose the current and accurate data regarding all potential risks, benefits, and alternatives to COVID mRNA vaccination. Note that my interpretation of the below data was done consistent with the long-held (but pandemic-ignored) Federal regulatory standard that considers any adverse event or death reported in temporal association with receipt of a novel and/or experimental therapy to be caused by the intervention until proven otherwise. I recognize this practice departs from the recently adopted, ethically and morally troubling pandemic standard whereby U.S Federal and State Health Agencies’ and hospital systems dismiss adverse event reports as unrelated to the vaccines until proven otherwise.

In the following, I will provide documentation of the informed consent discussion I hold regarding a decision on whether to pursue COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. In the following, I solely rely on the most current, available data regarding:

1) Risks associated with receipt of a COVID mRNA vaccination

2) Efficacy of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in preventing illness

2) Efficacy of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in preventing transmission

3) Efficacy of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in preventing hospitalizations and death

4) Efficacy of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine compared to the protection offered by natural immunity

5) Efficacy of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in the prevention of “long-haul” COVID

6) Risks of a healthy child suffering hospitalization and/or death from COVID

7) Efficacy and safety of alternatives to vaccination (i.e. reliance on effective early, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory combination therapy)

As is standard in informed consent discussions, I first begin with a review of the risks of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.

 

1) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RECEIVING THE COVID mRNA VACCINE

Based on the below data compiled from peer-reviewed papers, Life Insurance Industry reports, and analyses of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database, it is my conclusion that a literal humanitarian catastrophe is rolling forward. This resulted from the rapid deployment of barely-tested mRNA vaccines in an illogical attempt to counter a fast-mutating coronavirus. I acknowledge that this assessment contradicts current “medical consensus,” which is that the vaccines are “safe and effective” and that vaccinating against a coronavirus is the dominant public health strategy across much of the world. There are a few reasons which may explain the discord between my personal recommendations and those of health agencies across numerous advanced health economies like the United States.

There is great dissymmetry between the data that I have spent thousands of hours reading over the last two years (many thanks to the painstaking efforts of Dr. Pierre Kori to compile this data here) and analyzed compared to the selective and near uniformly favorable data being disseminated across media, social media, and numerous high-impact scientific journals. One explanation for this discord can be found in recent FOIA-obtained evidence which revealed that $1 billion dollars was paid by the Department of Health and Human Services to U.S media companies to (blindly) support a media campaign to build public confidence in and uptake of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

A second contributing factor to the lack of scientific recognition of this catastrophe is that as of this writing, although over 1,650 case reports and small cases series of adverse events have been published in the medical literature, review papers reporting summary analyses of either the toxicity or poor real-world efficacy of the vaccines have been consistently rejected upon submission to medical journals, particularly high-impact ones. In addition to the rejecting of such studies, a number of journals have also illegitimately retracted papers that reported on the scale of adverse events despite those papers having successfully passed expert peer-review. The few published, peer-reviewed summary analyses that reported on either a lack of efficacy or on the excessive risks of the vaccines have generally appeared in lower impact journals that are systematically ignored by media outlets and academia. These have been included below.

In the setting of such widespread media, social media, and scientific journal propaganda/censorship of adverse vaccine data, the following information is unlikely to be known by the average citizen or physician in the United States. I invite any who want to challenge or validate these interpretations and conclusions to more deeply explore the underlying data sources using the hyperlinked references below.

Peer-Reviewed Literature

In this published paper analyzing data from the pivotal clinical trials used to support the novel mRNA vaccines (i.e. Moderna, Pfizer, and Janssen), Classen compared “all cause severe morbidity,” defined as “severe infections with COVID-19 and all other severe adverse events between the treatment arms and control arms respectively.” His analysis found a statically significant increase in all cause severe morbidity occurred in the vaccinated group compared to the placebo group.

In this paper by Walach et al, they calculated the Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNTV) to prevent one death from a large Israeli field study. They then accessed the Adverse Drug Reactions database of the Dutch National Register (Lareb) to extract the number of cases reporting severe side-effects and the number of cases reporting fatal side-effects.

  • They found the NNTV to be between 200 and 700to prevent one case of COVID-19 by Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine product.
  • The NNTV to prevent one death was between 9,000 and 100,000 (95% confidence interval), with 16,000 as a point estimate(as you will see below, for younger healthy people, this estimate would tend to the higher end of a NNTV of 90,000-100,000 to prevent a single death).
  • They calculated that for every 6 deaths prevented by vaccination, there were approximately 4 deaths reported associated with vaccination, yielding a potential risk/benefit ratio of 2:3 (note that deaths are consistently under-reported to such databases, thus a more accurate risk/benefit ratio for death would likely be inverted).
  • They concluded that, “although causality between individual reports of adverse events and vaccination has not been established, these data indicate a lack of clear benefit, which should cause governments to rethink their vaccination policy”.

In this published paper by Jessica Rose, a world-expert analyst of the VAERS database, she found that, based on the ratio of expected severe adverse events to observed adverse events in VAERS for a number of conditions, the “underreporting factor (URF)” for COVID vaccine-associated deaths was 31. Using this URF for all VAERS-classified severe adverse events, as of October 2021, vaccines were associated with 205,809 deaths, 818,462 hospitalizations, 1,830,891 ER visits, 230,113 life-threatening events, 212,691 disabled and 7,998 birth defects.”

This paper by Ronald Kostoff et al was retracted despite passing peer-review. However, in a personal review of the correspondence between the author and Journal Editor, neither I nor my colleagues were able to find a valid criticism of the underlying data analysis or conclusions. Therefore, I have incorporated this valuable study whereby they used a novel, best-case scenario, cost-benefit analysis which showed conservatively that there were five times the number of deaths attributable to each inoculation vs. those attributable to COVID-19 in the most vulnerable 65+ demographic. The risk of death from COVID-19 decreased drastically as age decreases, and the longer-term effects of the inoculations on lower age groups “may increase” their risk-benefit ratio (although this has not been demonstrated to date as can be seen below).

VAERS Data

As of April 22, 2022, in the United States alone 5,309 cases of myocarditis, 782,665 adverse events, 151,796 severe adverse events, and 14,613 deaths have been recorded in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System following COVID-19 vaccination in the USA. It should be appreciated that the VAERS database’s main limitation is that of underreporting, by a factor of at least 30-fold. The most concerning implication of under-reporting is in regards to the exponential increases in actual reports of death after vaccination in the past year compared to prior years of all vaccines combined.

Even more damning is the temporal relationship of these reports to the date of the individual’s vaccination, which some authorities have attempted to dismiss as simply representing “background” deaths. The fact that the reporting of deaths decrease over time from date of vaccination (seen below), infers a worrying causal relationship whereas erroneously reported “background deaths” would instead appear in similar numbers each subsequent day after the date of vaccination.

Statisticians and analysts working with the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF) have estimated the total number of deaths in the U.S caused by the COVID-19 vaccines based on the numbers reported to the U.S Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. In their white paper, they employed 9 different statistical prediction models and found that as of December of 2021, total deaths associated with the vaccines ranged from 148,000 to 216,000. Using the same methodology for the 14,613 COVID-19 vaccine associated deaths in the U.S reported as of May 16, 2022, the updated point estimate is approximately 599,000 deaths. The data and conclusions from these publications above provide support for identifying the vaccination campaign as the primary cause of the massive increases in Life Insurance claims among working-age Americans beginning in the second half of 2021, as will be detailed below.

Life Insurance Industry Data

Most concerning is a recent report of a large, unexplained rise in U.S life insurance claims amongst working age Americans of ages 18-64 beginning in early to mid-2021, timed with the vaccination campaign rollout. In a press conference, the CEO of One America, the $100 billion Life Insurance giant, publicly stated;

  • “what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic.”
  • “deaths in this age group is 4 times higherthan what would be seen in a “one-in-200-year catastrophe,” and that, “40% is just unheard of.”
  • “every single other insurance company has also reported seeing the same – what’s most worrisome though, is that the biggest increase in excess deaths has come from traditionally healthier working-aged individuals under 65 – and not the elderly, who are the most susceptible to the Covid-19 virus.”
  • “we are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – [and] not just at OneAmerica, the data is consistent across every player in that business.”

Financial analyst and former Blackrock Managing Director, Edward Dowd, reported similar historic increases in death claims over the same time period from discussions with major U.S life insurance industry executives; 57% for Lincoln National, 41% for Prudential, 32% for Hartford, 24% for MetLife and 21% for RGA.

In line with these data, a publicly available quarterly report by the Group Life Insurance Industry, covering roughly 90% of the employer-based policies, reported on Page 23 that younger age groups were suddenly dying at historically unprecedented rates beginning in Q3 of 2021.

The timing and magnitude of the historic rise in death and disability are also seen in German health insurance claims data and Medicare billing data.

Epidemiologic Data

An article published in the journal Nature reported:

  • increases of over 25% in the number of ambulance calls in response to cardiac arrests (CA) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS or “heart attacks”) for young people people in the 16–39 age group during the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in Israel (January–May, 2021) compared with the same period of time in prior years (2019 and 2020).
  • a robust and statistically significant association between the weekly CA and ACS call counts and the rates of 1st and 2nd vaccine doses administeredto this age group. Note they found no observed statistically significant association between COVID-19 infection rates and the CA and ACS call counts.
  • findings that aligned with previous studies showing that increases in overall CA incidence were not always associated with higher COVID-19 infections rates at a population level, and that the stability of hospitalization rates related to myocardial infarction throughout the initial COVID-19 wave compared to pre-pandemic baselines in Israel.
  • findings that mirrored reports of increased emergency department visits with cardiovascular complaints during the vaccination rollout in Germany as well as increased EMS calls for cardiac incidents in Scotland.

In line with the above, as a result of a FOIA application in the state of Massachusetts, an analysis of the now publicly available death certificate data found that during 2020, the predominant cause of rises in all cause mortality were due to “respiratory causes,” (i.e. excess mortality from COVID-19) while in 2021, the predominant causes were “cardiovascular.” The analyst concluded, “the official Massachusetts database of death certificates contains proof that C19 vaccines killed thousands of people in Massachusetts in 2021.”

Equally alarming are the massive rise in deaths among healthy, young professional athletes from around the world. Since the vaccination campaign was initiated, and as of June 4, 2022, there were approximately 1,090 athletes that suffered a cardiac arrest, with 715 of them dying as a result. The majority of arrests occurred in competition or training. The frequency of these events in comparison to historical data is highly concerning. In a 2009 review of professional athletes deaths, published in a prominent European Cardiology journal, they found that from 1966 to 2004, there was an average of only 29 sudden athlete deaths per year worldwide. Compare this number to just the month of January 2022 alone where 127 collapses and 87 deaths among professional athletes were reported. Overall, these athlete deaths reflect an approximately 22-fold increase in the year after the introduction of COVID vaccines, to date unexplained by other identifiable causes.

On March 10, attorney Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel presented data in court showing 127 VAERS-reported COVID vaccine-related deaths in the military in 2021. That is more than the 93 reported COVID deaths in the military since the beginning of the pandemic. Note that COVID deaths tend to be overestimated, while VAERS-reported deaths, especially in the military, are severely underreported.

The CDC data provided in this article shows the timing of the start and the steady rise in all-cause mortality of working-age adults in the U.S, both overlapping with the start of the mass vaccination campaign. Although alternate causes of this historic rise in death have been considered, (i.e. COVID deaths, deaths of despair etc), the number of deaths from these causes is insufficient to explain the overall rise.

Rises in Disability

Associated with the massive rises in death claims are disability claims. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) surveys 60k households monthly to estimate the unemployment rate, and in this survey, asks households about disabilities as well. From the BLS data, for Americans over the age of 16:

* After declining in 2020 (and stable for five years prior), in Dec 2020 there were 29.9 million Americans disabled. This is a disability rate of 11.4%.

* At year end 2021, there were 32.4 million Americans disabled. This is an increase of 2.5 million people and a disability rate of 12.4%. This is a record number and record percentage rate.

* As of May 2022 there were 32.7 million Americans disabled. This is an increase of 2.9 million people since Dec 2020, the start of mass vaccinations. This is again a record number and percentage rate.

If you look at the charts below you can see that 1.8 million of the increase came in spring 2021 with another increase in fall 2021.  Given the strong overlap with the broad vaccination campaign in spring of 2021 followed by vaccine mandates in fall of 2021, it is consistent with the vaccine injury hypothesis as detailed in the data above.

 

In particular, the increase of 2.9 million disabled since December of 2020 represents more than 1% of the 263 million Americans over age 16. These Americans were all newly disabled in 2021 from some injurious societal or environmental development or exposure beginning in 2021, and not in 2020. It should be noted that these data reflect only a portion of the extent of injuries occurring given that it is likely that far more Americans suffered less debilitating adverse consequences.

On Feb. 10, the Israeli Health Ministry published the results of a survey of adverse events among roughly 2,000 random Israelis who received booster shots. Although many could be thought of as minor, it is concerning that 51% of the women and 35% of the men who experienced a side effect reported that, as a result, they had difficulty performing daily activities. A total of 4.5% of those who received booster doses reported neurological side effects.

Further, in the documents related to a recent FOIA request, in the Pfizer informed consent document (p. 5) it was revealed that the company recognized the risk of myocarditis to be as high as 1 in 1,000. In 2022, with many fewer vaccines administered compared to 2021, the rate of myocarditis reports to VAERS is averaging 245% higher than last year. The myocarditis is overwhelmingly found in young adults like Grace.

In addition, military whistleblowers leaked data from a Department of Defense database, showing major increases in a large number of diagnoses in 2021 compared to the stable average over the years 2016-2020. They found that in 2021, among military service members, there was a 988% increase in all diseases and injuries, a 218% increase in cancer diagnoses, a 374% increase in female infertility, 221% increase in dysmenorrhea, and a 183% increase in spontaneous abortions, with these latter findings of great concern to the future reproductive health of a young woman like Grace. Later claims by the Department of Defense that the prior year illness frequencies were erroneous and caused by “data corruption during a server migration” is simply not credible given this supposed error was “corrected” only after the whistleblowers reported. Further, these morbidity increases are consistent with all the other data sources presented above.

 

2) EFFICACY IN PREVENTION OF COVID-19

Using up-to-date data (i.e. last 3-6 months to today) from a wide selection of public health sources including the U.S, Denmark, Israel, Australia, and the UK, the current estimate of the protective efficacy from contracting COVID is one of either “negative efficacy” or rapidly waning efficacy such that potential benefits, if any, are demonstrably short-lived. Further, given the above alarming estimates of the real-world risks of the vaccines, the information below is focused on the most conservative data estimates of efficacy to determine “the minimum of what COVID-19 vaccinations can achieve.”  This is base on the fact that you have both natural immunity and a good health status.

It must be acknowledged that accurately interpreting epidiomiologic data to determine the relationship between vaccination status and the risk of contracting COVID is both challenging and complicated given:

1) the unmeasured confounding variables associated with an individual’s vaccination status (i.e. age, co-morbidities, behaviors)

2) the rapidly changing and often inconsistent definitions of what it means to be vaccinated (dependent upon varying numbers of vaccinations during different periods, varied vaccine types and schedules, and varied time windows from last vaccination).

3) the definition of a COVID case (tested, untested, false positive, false negative), the definition of a COVID death (“with COVID” vs. “from COVID,” with the latter likely overestimated due to hospital financial incentives created during the Pandemic).

4) the exclusion from efficacy calculations of the surprisingly large numbers of COVID infections and deaths suffered by the recently vaccinated (i.e. within 14 days of vaccination).

With the above caveats in mind, the best assessment of the below data indicate that vaccinated individuals are more likely to fall ill with the variants now in circulation. This may not have been the case earlier in the global vaccination campaign but is unfortunately the case now. There are several possible explanations for this finding. Chief among them is that the current mRNA vaccines were formulated using the genetic sequences of the original “Wuhan” strain of SARS-CoV2 from over 2 years ago. Given SARS-CoV2 is a highly mutagenic virus, many dozens of variants have since emerged, with several strains exhibiting sudden, multiple, and major pathogenically important mutations, particularly within the original spike protein to which the mRNA sequences are directed.

The major mutations have been “named” and each have many subvariants. The Delta variant phase in the U.S ran from approximately June of 2021 to January 2022, after which the Omicron variant has predominated, and we are currently seeing rising cases from sub-variants of this strain. Omicron deserves mention as it is phylogenetically different from both Delta and the original Wuhan strain. This is likely the most accurate explanation as to why, in the setting of what are now “non-neutralizing” antibodies, this paradoxically makes “Wuhan strain” vaccinated individuals more susceptible as follows;

Stanford researchers found that “prior vaccination with Wuhan-Hu-1-like antigens followed by infection with Alpha or Delta variants gives rise to plasma antibody responses with apparent Wuhan-Hu-1-specific imprinting manifesting as relatively decreased responses to the variant virus epitopes compared with unvaccinated patients infected with those variant viruses.”

From a Public Health England vaccine surveillance report in the U.K., government researchers asserted (p. 23) that their serology tests were underestimating the number of people with prior infection due to recent observations from UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) surveillance data that “N antibody levels appear to be lower in individuals who acquire infection following 2 doses of vaccination.”

Dr. Paul Offit, Chair of the FDA Vaccine Advisory Board conceded in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine that there is a real concern of the shots inducing a form of immune suppression known as original antigenic sin.

In this peer-reviewed paper, “Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States,” they found that at the country-level (and U.S county level), there appears to be no discernable relationship between the percentage of the population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases as seen below. In fact, the rising slope of the relationship in both graphs below suggest that mass vaccination policies may paradoxically lead to more cases, with Israel serving as a worrying outlier.

A study prepared by Humetrix for the Department of Defense called “Project Salus,” monitored 20 million Medicare beneficiaries from January to August of 2021 and found that the vaccinated share of the COVID hospitalizations rose steadily with both vaccines after three to four months and sharply after six months (as the Israelis found). By late July, 71% of all cases and 61% of all hospitalizations were among vaccinated individuals.

More current data from the Walgreens chain of pharmacies finds that in the U.S, over the last several months, fully or partially vaccinated individuals are testing positive at higher relative rates than the unvaccinated.

According to Cornell University’s faculty, an outbreak in December of 2021 which forced the school to switch to online learning was driven exclusively by the vaccinated. “Virtually every case of the Omicron variant to date has been found in fully vaccinated students, a portion of whom had also received a booster shot,” said Vice President for University Relations Joel Malina in a statement.

On December 31, 2021, the UK’s Office of National Statistics released an “Infection Survey” of 1,701 individuals who tested positive for COVID between Nov. 29 and Dec. 12, of whom 115 tested positive for the Omicron variant. The agency found a clear correlation between the number of vaccinations and the likelihood of an Omicron-positive result. The odds ratio of testing positive for Omicron with two vaccinations was 2.26; for the triple-vaccinated, it was 4.45.

According to the latest U.K. health surveillance report, roughly 95% of those over 70 are double-vaccinated and about 90%-93% of the age cohorts over 70 are boosted. Just 1.6% of the senior cases between weeks 7 and 10 of this year were among the unvaccinated, which is below the 5% share of the population they compose. The triple-boosted actually made up 90% of the cases.

The respected Robert Koch Institute reported that among the 4,206 Germans infected with Omicron for whom their vaccination status was known, 95.58% were fully vaccinated. More than a quarter of them had booster shots. Given that the overall background rate for vaccination in Germany is 70%, this suggests an -87% effectiveness rate against Omicron.

As of Dec. 31, 2021, in Denmark, 89.7% of all Omicron cases were among the fully vaccinated with just 8.5% of all cases in Denmark among the unvaccinated, according to the Statens Serum Institut. Overall, 77.9% of Denmark was fully vaccinated at the time, and Omicron is more prevalent among younger people for whom there is a greater unvaccinated pool, which again support a negative efficacy. Even for non-Omicron variants, the unvaccinated composed only 23.7% of the cases.

As mentioned above, assessing the true relationship between vaccinations and the risk of infection must also consider the shocking numbers of COVID infections and deaths occurring during the first 14 days after vaccination. The argument to include these data is supported by the biological plausibility based on the studies presented above finding that the outdated vaccines are inducing an immune suppression favoring infection with newer variants. It is my opinion that these cases and deaths should not be excluded given the below examples (there are many more) of record rises in cases (and deaths) proximate to the start dates of various country-wide vaccination rollouts.

 

The examples below include countries that initiated the most aggressive mass vaccination campaigns in the period from late December, 2020 to January, 2021. Note these countries are from different regions of the globe, however the rollouts were all followed by large increases in cases and deaths.

 

3) EFFICACY IN PROTECTION FROM SEVERE DISEASE

In Ireland, in March of 2022, during the milder Omicron variant wave, there were more people in Irish hospitals than at any point in the previous 12 months. This occurred despite the fact that nearly 95% of all adults in Ireland are fully vaccinated, and nearly 100% of seniors are vaccinated and boosted.

In Scotland, on page 29 of their recent national COVID-19 report, the data revealed that the vaccinated were dying and being hospitalized at higher rates than the unvaccinated. Note that Scotland has since made the decision to no longer publish these comparative data for “concerns that they are being misinterpreted”. Although it is true, as was noted above, that numerous variables beyond vaccination status may contribute to explaining these differences, it is troubling (similar to the Department of Defense actions mentioned above) that the decision to stop publishing these data occurred only after a negative efficacy against severe disease and death was found.

In Israel, the Director of a major hospital recently declared that the fully vaccinated are not protected against severe illness.

NSW Health in New South Wales, the most populated of Australian states at 8.1 million inhabitants, reported that 97 out of 98 COVID-19 deaths occurring over the previous two weeks involved fully vaccinated persons. Moreover, those that had three doses appeared most at risk for hospitalization admission, ICU transfer, and death.

These data are consistent with the recent report published in the New York Times which stated “despite strong levels of vaccination among older people, COVID killed them at vastly higher rates during this winter’s Omicron wave than did last year, preying on long delays since their last shots and the variant’s ability to skirt immune defenses.”  These higher rates of death in the elderly are also seen in the boosted.

The conclusion of a recent Danish study in the prestigious Lancet found that in long-term follow-up of over 74,000 adult participants in the Moderna and Pfizer trials there was no all-cause mortality benefit from the two mRNA shots.

In a recent, large Veterans Administration study, investigators discovered disturbing evidence: by month six after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, beyond the first 30 days of illness, vaccinated persons with breakthrough infections were at higher risk of death (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.75, 95% confidence interval: 1.59,1.93).

The implications of the vaccine’s diminished ability to protect against severe disease among more recent variants is now playing out in real-time. On June 5th, 2022, analyst Igor Chudov posted a 2 country comparison of the current cases and deaths being reported from Portugal and S. Africa, two countries undergoing similar waves of infection from the emerging B4/5 sister variants. South Africa is only 35% vaccinated and 5% boosted whereas Portugal is 95% vaccinated and 70% boosted. These variants are now driving a deadly wave of Covid in highly-vaccinated Portugal, with deaths among the Portuguese nearing their January peak and still rising as seen below.

Thus, in terms of benefits, based on the most up-to-date data, the current crop of mRNA vaccines against Omicron confer either rapidly waning efficacy or negative efficacy, and not only do they no longer protect against severe disease, they appear to be raising the risk of severe disease and death.

I, therefore, would advise extreme caution given that, currently, in the U.S, the prevalence of the B4/5 variant appears to be doubling every week in the past month, now comprising approximately 8% of cases.

 

4) BENEFITS IN REDUCING TRANSMISSION TO OTHERS

Current data do not support this claim. The CDC Director herself has reported that vaccinated individuals are now well known to carry equal or greater viral loads than the unvaccinated, and thus transmit at equal or higher rates, for physiologic reasons detailed above, most concerning being the negative efficacy of the vaccines against Omicron. This has also been reported by seminal nosocomial outbreak papers by Chau et al. (Health care workers (HCW) in Vietnam), the Finland hospital outbreak (spread among HCWs and patients), and the Israel hospital outbreak (spread among HCWs and patients).

A new large study from Quatar in the New England Journal of Medicine by Weil Cornell Medicine found that the Pfizer vaccine protection waned after four months. By seven months, when adjusted for those who already had prior infection, the Pfizer shot was -4% effective against transmission. Also, effectiveness against asymptomatic infection was -33% after seven months, which suggests that the vaccinated become more likely to spread COVID-19 over time.

 

5) BENEFITS IN REDUCING THE RISK OF LONG-HAUL COVID SYNDROME

Again, from the large Veterans Administration study, investigators discovered disturbing evidence: by month six after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, vaccinated persons with breakthrough infections were at higher risk of long COVID (HR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.46, 1.54). When including the earlier time periods, the COVID-19 vaccines only reduced the risk of long COVID by approximately 15% compared to the unvaccinated, a level of estimated protection far less than the increased risk of death found in the same study as mentioned above.

 

6) BENEFITS OF NATURAL IMMUNITY

Natural immunity provides robust protection, not only from contracting the COVID-19 a second time, but also against hospitalization and death.

The most recent review of data supporting the protection of natural immunity, compiled from over 150 research studies, found that natural immunity provided equal or superior protection against not only contracting the disease, but also against hospitalization and death.

Further, vaccinated individuals are far more likely to get re-infected with COVID compared to those with natural immunity. A new preprint study from Bangladesh found that among 404 people re-infected with COVID, having been vaccinated made someone 2.45 times more likely to get re-infected with a mild infection, 16.1 times more likely to get a moderate infection, and 3.9 times more likely to be re-infected severely, relative to someone with prior infection who was not vaccinated. Although overall re-infections were rare, vaccination was a greater risk factor of re-infection than co-morbidities.

A new study from Harvard, Continued Effectiveness of COVID-19 Vaccination among Urban Healthcare Workers during Delta Variant Predominance, tracked vaccinated and unvaccinated Massachusetts healthcare workers and showed 0 infections in 74,557 person-days for previously infected patients compared to 49 infections out of 830,084 person-days for fully vaccinated patients.

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine assessed a cohort of 1,304 patients meeting a very strict definition of “re-infection.” In this cohort, there were no deaths and no ICU admissions during reinfections while 7 deaths and 28 ICU admissions occurred during the primary infections. Overall, there was a statistically significant 90% reduction in the composite outcome of severe, critical, or fatal disease during reinfections

 

7) BENEFITS OF CURRENT HEALTH STATUS

Those persons of normal body weight and under age 21 youth with an absence of co-morbidities have essentially a near-nil risk of a severe outcome.

This data is based this on data compiled during a prior, more deadly variant where the CDC published a report on the incidence of death from COVID-19 prior to September of 2021 in people less than 21 years of age. At the time of that report, 190,000 deaths from SARS-CoV-2 had been recorded in the general population. Although people less than 21 years of age represent 26% of the population, only 0.08% (121) of all COVID-19 deaths were reported in this age group. In other words, more children died from influenza during the previous epidemic season than from SARS-CoV-2.

Several other observations were of interest:

  • 75% of those under 21 who died had at least one underlying medical condition; 45% had two or more conditions.
  • Minority groups were disproportionately represented among the deaths in young people. Among those who died, 45% were Hispanic, 29% were black, and 4% were American Indian or Alaskan Native persons. Although Hispanic, Black and Native populations represent 41% of the U.S. population less than 21 years of age, these groups accounted for 75% of the deaths.

In July of 2021, Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins University and Editor in Chief of MedPage today, reported that over the course of the pandemic, 49,000 Americans under the age of 18 had died of all causes, according to the CDC. Only 331 of those deaths were from COVID — less than half as many as that died of pneumonia. The risk of children was dramatically smaller still than that CDC baseline; according to one, much-cited paper, the infection fatality rate for those aged 5 to 9 is less than 0.001 percent. A large new study from the U.K. examining the fatality rate among all those under 18 found it only fractionally higher there — 0.005 percent. Overall, 126,000 Brits have died of COVID since the onset of the pandemic; just 26 of those were under the age of 18.

These data presented above must be further interpreted in the context of the current Omicron variant, a variant with markedly lower risk of leading to hospitalization and and/or death among the unvaccinated.

 

8) ALTERNATIVES TO VACCINATION: EARLY TREATMENT OF COVID-19

The alternative to vaccination would be to ensure provision of early treatment with a select combination from what are now dozens of medicines, nutraceuticals, and therapies with proven efficacy in COVID-19. I am willing to prescribe the medicines that cannot be obtained over-the-counter, however, I must emphasize the need to have this treatment upon first symptoms of any viral syndrome like illness. The importance of early treatment can be seen in the graph below, showing diminishing efficacy of treatment with each day of delay. Note the near 100% efficacy if treatment is started within 24 hours of symptoms.

As of May 2022, massive evidence bases support numerous generic, repurposed drugs with excellent safety profiles that act with either anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, or immunomodulatory properties have been compiled. The medicines shown effective can be seen below. I have circled only those medicines that have received Emergency Use Authorization status by the FDA or recommended by the NIH. Note that these “officially approved” medicines consist solely of novel pharmaceutical industry products that can generate massive profits, an obvious feature of our health care system in the United States. Off-patent, generic or over the counter therapies are not recommended, despite often higher amounts of trials evidence for their use. Note that the grey font indicates medicines with less than 5 trials to support.

Ivermectin has the highest potency amongst the medicines sufficiently studied. Ivermectin’s evidence base now consists of 84 controlled trials, 34 of them randomized, and include a total of 129,000 patients. Summary analyses of the data from these trials find large, statistically significant reductions in time to clinical recovery, time to viral clearance, hospitalizations, and death as seen on the right of the below graphic.

Similarly, hydroxychloroquine has 347 controlled trials which involve almost a half-million patients. The studies show consistent, reproducible reductions in the incidence of all outcomes, particularly when given early, similar to ivermectin.

Nigella Sativa, a widely available “nutraceutical” used in many countries around the world, has also shown repeated, high efficacy as below.

Numerous other medications and compounds have demonstrated efficacy, such as the use of povidone-iodine nasal drops and mouthwashes, as well as medications like fluvoxamine.

The protocol I use can be obtained by calling my office and scheduling an appointment with me or my Nurse Practitioner.

Summary and Recommendations. 

In summary, those patients with a good health status, normal body habitus, and natural immunity to COVID, have a near-nil risk of the most severe outcomes from COVID.

Risks of Long haul or prolonged illness would be further reduced with adoption of almost any early treatment strategy. Further, the totality of current evidence finds either a rapidly waning efficacy in protection against COVID-19 or a rising negative efficacy in protection from both COVID and its more severe outcomes.

Finally, given the highly concerning, excessive rates of adverse events, disabilities, and deaths found in the vaccine trials data and in association with the mass vaccination campaign, it is my professional opinion that the risks of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination for most people, except those over 80 years old with comorbidities, far outweigh the negligible or “adverse” efficacy currently being measured.

Please sign and date below that you have read and understand the risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccination as it stands to date.

Infertility after Pfizer Vaccination

I’ve been ridiculed, censured and I’ve been reprimanded recently that I am not strongly supporting vaccination of everyone 6 months old and older with one of the COVID-19 vaccinations. Yet today, even more proof appears in support of my concerns . . . (mind you that it shows up on a weekend when no one in the news cycles will see it).

The Pfizer vaccine decreases male sperm count over 25% for up to six months post vaccination, “but it returns to normal after six months.” That’s the findings this week from Andrology.

Hmmm . . . ? Are we actually sure about that?

Last June in JAMA, we were reassured that two doses of the vaccine are “safe and there was no problem with fertility of any kind.” Any legitimate questions about COVID-19 vaccination affecting fertility were dismissed using the perverse rhetoric of “there’s no evidence” (it’s dependent upon the advocates of a universally distributed medical product to prove it’s safe, not the other way around).

After the publication of the study and positive support from the scientific community, hospital systems, the US Military and medical societies around the country, all male fertility concerns were brushed aside. Anyone who dared question the parameters of the study or the other longer-term effects like increase in associated miscarriage’s was relegated to the status of a conspiracy theorist or quack.

Meanwhile, White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha made a contrary statement, saying that vaccines for children down to 6 months or older “have been thoroughly tested. Millions of children above the age of 5 have gotten these vaccines. They’re exceedingly safe,” Jha told CBS News in a June 20 interview.

The CDC last Saturday, June 18th, 2022, signed off on giving both Moderna’s and Pfizer’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to infants and children between 6 months and 5 years old. It came after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel unanimously voted to authorize the use of the vaccines.

Jha also said while the majority of children likely have natural immunity, getting the vaccines will help keep children out of the hospital if they get it again.

The White House is echoing the FDA and CDC’s message to get young children vaccinated.

And, yet today, buried in the weekend news, a longer term study find out that these vaccines cause a 25% reduction in sperm counts in males . . .

My concern, and the concern of many others, is the small initial studies on these vaccines only looked at sperm counts before the first dose and 70 days after the second. What happens after two months remained a mystery. What about after a 3rd for 4th booster? What about sperm counts in infant males receiving the vaccination prior to puberty? What about males in puberty an their sperm counts at 1 year, 5 years and 10 years? All of these answers are still a mystery, but a mystery not worth worrying about as we were told.

“Thoroughly tested” is a blatant bold-faced lie.

 If a child or an adult has an adverse reaction to the vaccine, that child’s parents or family could not sue for damages because the emergency use authorization prevents the companies from being held liable.

The vaccines are experimental by definition. A product that’s being used under emergency use [EU] authorization definitionally is investigational. The EU authorization gives these vaccine companies blanket liability protection.

Will reduction in sperm counts be longer than six months? Will reduction in sperm counts be different in those who receive the vaccine as children versus those who receive it as adults? Who knows? Only time will tell. But, the White House, FDA, CDC and most medical societies don’t seem to think that is important.

I remember taking an oath as a physician to, first, do no harm? Yet, I’m a conspiracy theorist for asking the question and not towing the line?

Are More Children Dying From the COVID Vaccine than the Virus Itself?

In the last 12 months I have seen sixteen significant and severe reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine. I cannot be alone in seeing this trend. However, physicians and providers around the world seem fearful in even talking about it with their colleagues. And, as of this week, there is VAERS data implying that more children have died from the vaccine than from the virus itself.

I have always been a big proponent of vaccines. But, that advocacy for vaccination has been based on good research and data demonstrating that both the short and long-term risk is greatly outweighed by the benefit of vaccination. I have been in practice long enough to have seen multiple vaccinations and therapeutics pulled off the market 1-5 years after they were released because of severe adverse events relating to the drug or vaccine (ie – thalidamide, DES, Baycol, Accutane, Redux, Seldane, Zelnorm and Vioxx just to name a few.)

In my family practice clinic over the last 22 years, I’ve rarely seen acute cases of myocarditis show up on my doorstep. However, in the last 12 months I’ve had eight cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the wall of the heart) and eight cases of prolonged colitis (inflammation of the colon that did not respond to antibiotics) directly related to COVID-19 vaccination. Because I practice in the midst of a retirement community on one side of the street and a city of young families on the opposite side of the street, my practice is predominantly newly marrieds and people over 60 years old. I don’t see nearly as many children as other family practitioners or pediatricians. But, the numbers don’t lie.

I’ve been patiently waiting to seen the journal articles about this topic. Yet, it has not been written. Why must a family practitioner be writing about this, when this should be front page news on every website? Of course, I have my biases, to which I will openly admit. Yet, I seriously don’t know the answer to that question.

We live in a time when medicine has become a politicized weapon. The medical and political leadership on both sides of the isle keep moving the goal posts. Both sides appeal to false authorities. Those who are supposed to be authorities flip flop their position on the clear evidences. And, medical journals have become less and less trustworthy for a number of reasons. It leaves the physician in the trenches scratching his or her head.

Elevated D-Dimers, Fatigue, Colitis & Palpitations

All sixteen of these cases above had elevated D-dimer tests (the protein marker in the blood for significant inflammation and clotting risk) lasting 6-8 months. Four of these sixteen patients had blood clots in the lungs. Most of these cases occurred after the second vaccine dose, but a few occurred after the first dose. Six of these patients have been so fatigued, they could not work and could barely function for over four to six months.

I provide below two of the actual ultrasound images I completed while examining these sixteen patients:

41 year old male with 2 months of fatigue and palpitations starting 30 days after his first dose of COVID vaccine.

Why is this significant? Because in 22 years of medical practice, I can count on one hand the number of severe vaccine reactions I’ve personally seen in my office in all vaccines combined. Then, suddenly in the last 12 months I have 16 severe reactions to the COVID-19 jab?! It makes a person think . . .

Let’s Stop Pretending that COVID-19 Vaccines are Perfect

To date, Dr Anthony Fauci, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy remind us that 97% of new covid-19 hospitalizations or 99% of covid-19 deaths are among the unvaccinated. I’m sure the message is well-intentioned: “Vaccines will protect you from severe disease, so go get vaccinated!”

The problem is that the message is not true. Initially, there was an 81-89% reduction in severe hospitalization in the first 2-3 months of vaccination according to the studies we had. However, this protection has dramatically decreased. Hence the introduction of boosters. Yet, the studies on boosters have only looked a antibody levels, not at hospitalization risk reduction or reduction of death from COVID-19.

We saw this in the UK, where deaths among the vaccinated went from “rare” to two-thirds of all delta variant deaths by July. We saw this in Israel, where literally no fully vaccinated people died of covid-19 for 3-4 weeks in June, but by August over 60% of the severely ill were fully vaccinated.

As of today, Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine is just 39% effective in Israel where the delta variant is the dominant strain according to the recent report from the country’s Health Ministry.

Is there some effectiveness to the vaccine? According to the studies we have to date – yes. However, does that benefit outweigh the long-term risk? That is the $1 million dollar question.

How Do We Know What the Risk of Vaccination Actually Is?

Other than the very short term vaccine trials conducted by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson lasting 6 months, we really don’t know what the long-term real world risks are. The only data we have is the CDC’s ongoing VAERS data reporting system.

Established in 1990, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines. VAERS is co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (possible side effects) after a person has received a vaccination. Anyone can report an adverse event to VAERS. Healthcare professionals are required to report certain adverse events and vaccine manufacturers are required to report all adverse events that come to their attention.

VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern.

Jessica Rose, Ph.D., a research fellow at the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge in Israel, was interviewed about what the VAERS data tell us about the COVID vaccine risk. Rose stated that the average number of adverse event reports following vaccination for the past 10 years has been about 39,000 annually, with an average of 155 deaths. That’s for all available vaccines combined.

The COVID vaccines now account for 983,756 adverse event reports as of December 17, 2021, including 20,622 deaths—and this doesn’t include the underreporting factor, which we know is significant and likely ranges from five to 40 times higher than reported. Most doctors and nurses don’t even know what VAERS is and even if they do, they chose not to report the incidents.

Data as of January 14, 2022, reports 9,936 deaths in the U.S. due to COVID-19 vaccination.

In the case of the COVID vaccinations, data demonstrates that 50% of the deaths occur within 48 hours of injection. It’s simply not conceivable that 10,000 people died two days after their shot from something other than the shot. Though fact checkers around the world discount this site as not official “because anyone can report” and claim it is coincidental. It cannot all be coincidence. Especially since so many of them are younger, with no underlying lethal conditions that threaten their lives. 80% have died within one week of their injection, which is still incredibly close in terms of cause and effect.

Children Are At 80% Greater Risk

Aside from the immediate risk of death, children are also at risk for potentially lifelong health problems from this vaccination. Myocarditis (heart inflammation seen in the two adult ultrasound images above) has emerged as one of the most common problems, especially among boys and young men.

In early September 2021, Tracy Beth Hoeg and colleagues posted an analysis of VAERS data on the preprint server medRxiv, showing that more than 86% of the children aged 12 to 17 who report symptoms of myocarditis were severe enough to require hospitalization.

Cases of myocarditis exploded after the second shot, Hoeg found, and disproportionally affecting boys. A full 90% of post-injection myocarditis reports are males, and 85% of reports occurred after the second dose. 

Said Hoeg, “The estimated incidence of CAEs [cardiac adverse events] among boys aged 12-15 years following the second dose was 162 per million; the incidence among boys aged 16-17 years was 94 per million. The estimated incidence of CAEs among girls was 13 per million in both age groups.”

According to Steve Kirsch, doctors are seeing an increase in myocarditis, but few are willing to talk about it. 

In October 2021, Jessica Rose and Dr. Peter McCullough submitted a paper on myocarditis cases in VAERS following the COVID vaccination to the journal Current Problems in Cardiology. Everything was set for publication when, suddenly, the journal changed its mind and took it down.

You can still find the pre-printed article on Rose’s website. The data clearly show that myocarditis is inversely related to age. The younger you are the higher the risk of myocarditis. The risk is also dose-dependent, with boys having a six-fold greater risk of myocarditis following the second dose.

While our health authorities and the CDC are shrugging off this risk saying cases are “mild,” that’s a blatant and frightening lie. The damage to the heart is typically permanent.

https://vaersanalysis.info/2022/01/14/vaers-summary-for-covid-19-vaccines-through-01-07-2022/

In the most recent VAERS report, you and I can see that in just six months, deaths in children and young adults from the COVID vaccine under the age of 29 years old has now surpassed the total number of deaths in this age group from COVID-19 in the last two years.

Why is this not being shouted from the rooftops? I still don’t have the answer.

COVID-19 Vaccines Double Your Risk for Acute Coronary Syndrome

Researchers have also found that Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines dramatically increase biomarkers associated with thrombosis, cardiomyopathy and other vascular events following injection.

People who have received two doses of the mRNA injection more than doubled their five-year risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the researchers found, driving it from an average of 11% to 25%. ACS is an umbrella term that includes not only heart attacks, but also a range of other conditions involving abruptly reduced blood flow to your heart.

In a Twitter post November 21, 2021, cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra wrote: “Extraordinary, disturbing, upsetting. We now have evidence of a plausible biological mechanism of how mRNA vaccine may be contributing to increased cardiac events. The abstract is published in the highest impact cardiology journal so we must take these findings very seriously.”

Yet, all you and I’ve heard from the “experts” is . . . crickets . . .

What Does the VAERS Data Actually Say?

As of December 17, 2021, looking only at U.S. reports, excluding the international reporting, VAERS had received:

  • 308 cases of myocarditis among 18-year-olds
  • 252 cases among 17-year-olds
  • 226 cases in 16-year-olds
  • 256 cases in 15-year-olds
  • 193 in 14-year-olds
  • 132 in 13-year-olds
  • 108 in 12-year-olds

In total, that’s 1,475 cases of myocarditis in U.S. teens aged 18 and younger—five times the background rate in just six months! And again, this does not take into account the underreporting rate, which has been calculated to be anywhere from five to 40.

The CDC claimed that myocarditis was a possible rare side effect of the COVID infection itself.

Now, assuming the COVID hospitalization rate for adolescents is 21 per million, and we have 73.1 million adolescents, we could expect there to be 1,535 hospitalizations for COVID in this age group in a year. If 0.146 percent of those 1,535 teens develop myocarditis (the CDC’s quoted percentage of myocarditis found in adolescents), we could expect 2.2 cases of myocarditis to occur in this age group each year, among those who come down with COVID.

In summary, based on CDC statistics, we could expect just over two teens to contract myocarditis from COVID-19 infection. Meanwhile, we have 1,475 cases reported following the COVID vaccination in just six months (shots for 12- to 17-year-olds were authorized July 30, 2021). That’s a pretty big difference.

Based on the data we have in the last 12 months, there is absolutely no medical rationale or justification for children and teens to get a COVID shot. It’s all risk and no gain. 

And, as an adult, unless you are very high risk with diabetes, asthma, heart disease, morbid obesity, I’d think twice about getting a booster.

If your child experiences any symptoms of a cardiac or cardiovascular problem, seek immediate medical attention.

In my clinic, we use the following protocols to treat the elevated D-Dimer and lessen the adverse effect on the heart.

  1. Colchicine 0.6 mg daily
  2. Resveratrol 250-500 mg daily
  3. Vitamin D 2000-5000 IU daily

Vaccine Thoughts

Today my office got a “1 star” review from a person who isn’t even a patient.  She was upset that I do not require my staff to be vaccinated.  So, I thought I would lay it out there so that you and all my followers can understand my thought process on this whole vaccine issue.

I Support the Use of Safe Vaccines

First and foremost, let me state that I am a proponent of vaccines. I have been fully vaccinated with every other vaccine under the sun (I was in the military and we were given EVERYTHING) and was adamant about getting my flu vaccine until 2016 when I had a severe anaphylactic reaction to the influenza vaccine. 

I’m Personally Allergic to the Components of COVID-19 Vaccines and Influenza Vaccines.

Thinking this was just a hypersensitivity issue, I got my yearly flu vaccine in 2017 and my reaction of hives and inflammation were worse.  We concluded that I am allergic to the base in the vaccine polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polysorbate.  In doing a great deal of research trying to find out what it was I was reacting to, I changed my position on the need for the yearly influenza vaccine.  (It causes a 36% increase susceptibility to coronavirus infections.  You can read about that information here.)  

Polysorbate or PEG is a component of all three COVID-19 vaccines, and is a contraindication to getting the COVID-19 vaccines (listed right on the CDC website – as there is NO package insert on any of the vaccines to date), so I have been very leery of getting vaccinated with anything containing these chemicals.

I’ve Already Had COVID-19 Twice

Near the end of March 2020, I had six patients (3 couples) come off of a cruise to the Caribbean, and had symptoms that we thought were Parainfluenza virus, but later turned out to be COVID-19.  2 weeks later, I and the majority of my staff became ill with COVID-19.   I had classic symptoms of COVID-19, however, my symptoms only lasted about 3 days, many of my staff members were sick for 1-2 weeks, and my wife was sick for 3 weeks.  It was about this time that nasal swab testing became available. 

Over the last 18 months, we have treated over 400 positive COVID-19 cases outpatient.  I have an active patient population of about 8,000 patients.  Between myself and my PA, we see about 13,000 patient visits per year, so we are a busy practice.  The average age of my patients is 65 years old and the majority of these patient have insulin resistance and/or diabetes.   My concern was that we have a huge practice susceptible to severe COVID-19 infections.  However, amazingly in the first 12 months of this pandemic we only had 12 hospitalizations for COVID-19 infections and those were the patients who were not following a low carbohydrate or ketogenic diet and were not controlling their blood sugars or insulin levels.

As predicted, and like any coronavirus, yearly resurgence of the infection will re-occur.  We’ve seen about 15 new cases of COVID-19 in the office in the last four weeks which appear to correlate with the Delta Variant being seen in the hospital across the street from my office.  In the last month, we have seen a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, and five of my staff members were out of the office due to positive COVID-19 infections.  Symptoms lasted 3-14 days in my staff.   All of these patients and my staff were treated with my protocol and none have been hospitalized. 

I personally came down with a reoccurrence of the infection and had symptoms of sore throat, headache, sinus pressure, loss of taste & smell, and productive cough resolve within 72 hours following our treatment protocol.  Like the flu with over 600 variants, there are already 160+ variants of the COVID-19 virus around the world.   So, it is to be expected that we will see this yearly, much like we’ve seen the flu.

Because of my position on this particular vaccine and the influenza vaccine, many members of my church (who has heavily supported this vaccine) and the medical community have ostracized me and my family, as I’ve raised concerns and been vocal about this issue. And yet, a recent real world study in Israel of over 800,000 people demonstrates that those with natural immunity to COVID-19 have 13 times greater protection than those that are vaccinated.

I’ve Seen More Adverse Reaction to COVID-19 Vaccine Then Any Other Vaccine

In January, when the vaccine came out, I was interested in using this in our practice, but I had concerns regarding the untested delivery mechanism that this vaccine used and I was concerned that there were no clinical trials established at the time to know what to expect from this vaccine.

About 30-40% of my practice opted to get vaccinated.  And about 30% of my staff opted to get vaccinated as well.

Of great concern to me is that I have started seeing strange long-term vaccine reactions in those patients that got vaccinated:

  • I have three patient that had profound fatigue – literally could not get out of bed for 4-5 months after getting vaccinated.  Two of these patients are still experiencing these symptoms today.
  • I have two patients who had pericarditis/myocarditis from the vaccine (Now a Black Box Warning for these vaccines)
  • I have seven patients with persistent elevated D-Dimer levels 3-6 months after vaccination predisposing them to blood clots and pulmonary emboli.  Two actually had life threatening blood clots in the lungs. (Blood clots is also a Black Box Warning on these vaccines)
  • Four of these seven had colitis that persisted for 6-8 weeks that was unresponsive to antibiotic therapy.
  • And, one of these patients has symptoms of severe fatigue & tachycardia (rapid heart rate) upon standing that has yet to resolve.
  • I have two others that had spontaneous bruising over their lower extremities for 6 weeks associated with severe fatigue.

95% of the people that get vaccinated in my clinical experience seem to have no problem.   5% of patients have profound symptoms of illness as if they had a mild to moderate case of COVID-19 that can last up to 7 days.  

When I have commented about what I am seeing to my colleagues, they roll their eyes at me and blow it off.   And, behind my back, they tell others that I’m just blowing things out of proportion. Yet, the patients I have seen above are real and these symptoms have dramatically affected their lives, their families and their ability to work and provide a living for themselves.

Am I against getting vaccinated?  No, but I want people to clearly understand the risks and benefits of vaccination.  To date, there is still no package insert that is given to those receiving the vaccines, providing any warning, including the Black Box Warnings. And, the patients that have had adverse reactions have told me that they would never have considered getting vaccinated if they knew about the symptoms they were potentially going to experience.

Why the World’s Leaders and Large Businesses Pushing 100% Vaccination Rates?

You’re going to think I am crazy, but I’ve been racking my brain for a reason, trying to understand why we are where we are today.

Now, before you try to commit me to a mental institution, please watch the two videos and make your own conclusions based on what I theorize may be happening. This information actually scares the snot out of me.

Why are the leadership of countries around the world and large businesses pushing for 100% vaccination so rapidly? The only thing I can surmise based on what we are hearing was confirmed in the video below as the Arkansas Governor and his Medical Advisor explain risk factors for pregnancy. The Aransas Medical Advisor actually sets the narrative.

If there are fertility issues that begin to arise, it won’t be blamed on the vaccine, it will be the COVID-19 variant to be blamed. If there is no unvaccinated control group, any side effects of infertility or pregnancy problems can be blamed on the virus itself, which is exactly what the Arkansas Medical Advisor just did last week.

It is important to understand that pregnancy and fertility data on drugs and vaccines are confirmed during the Phase 4 part of clinical trials. The COVID-19 vaccine skipped the Phase 4 due to the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). If there are problems with fertility or pregnancy, we will not truly know until January of 2022 at the earliest. Auto-immunity problems take up to four years to show up.

So, why would world leadership push this agenda?

Population control and the ability to rapidly control the economy under a global government – and our leaders actually roll played this pandemic and how to solve it in October, 2019.

The “Great Reset” is a long term ideological grab of what’s left of individual freedom and free market economies, and the goal is the imposition of a global dictatorship. Globalists wrap these objectives in pretty sounding words and humanitarian sounding aspirations, but the bottom line of the “Reset” is about an end to liberty as we know it.

I know, I know. It sound like a huge conspiratorial exaggeration. And, I would not have believed it unless I actually watched the video of these people putting all these puzzle pieces together. Unfortunately, this is reality; this is what these people desire, above all else. But, how do they achieve such a goal?

Interestingly enough, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation described exactly how they planned to do it during a “simulation” they held in October of 2019 called “Event 201”. During the event, they imagined a massive coronavirus pandemic, spread supposedly from animals to humans, which would facilitate the need for pervasive restrictions on individual liberties, national economies as well as the internet and social media.

YouTube player

I’m sure it’s all a coincidence, but the exact same scenario the globalists at the WEF played out during Event 201 happened in the real world only two months later with a virus and a vaccine that were patented by the CDC and Pfizer over 21 years ago.

The virus that causes illness in swine discussed in the Event 201 roll play was patented on January 28, 2000 (https://patents.justia.com/patent/6372224). This is the base SARS-CoV2 molecule. We’ve know about it and had it patented for over 20 years.

On April 14, 2004, full gene sequence of SARS-CoV2 AND the detection method for PCR identification of SARS-CoV2 was patented (https://patents.justia.com/patent/7220852, this includes sub patents 46592703-P, and patent 776521). Two weeks later, on April 28, 2004, the SARS-CoV2 antiviral vaccine patent was filed by Secoya Pharmaceuticals (https://patents.justia.com/patent/7151163), who later became part of the holdings of Pfizer, Crucell (now Janssen) and Johnson & Johnson.

Ask yourself how can the treatment be patented just two weeks after the detection method and virus structure were patented? Then ask yourself a second question, how can a virus be patented that is naturally occurring (it is against the law to patent naturally occurring “Novel” viruses)?

Answer: First, it is physically impossible to come up with a vaccine just days after you identify at measurement tool for the virus. Second, this is NOT a “novel” virus. It’s been on Pfizer’s shelf since 2000.

In 2007, the CDC attempted to patent the same viral sequence and it was denied. The CDC, then, paid to have this patent over-ridden and made private. They essentially paid a bribe to take public patent information and cover it up. This is all public record in the patent office information located above.

You can watch the testimony of Dr. David Martin and the patents he’s analyzed over the last 20 years. All records are publicly available going back to 1999 showing the Novel Coronavirus was well known and not actually “Novel” for two decades. He explains his credentials and provides how this present outbreak was engineered.

Only time will tell, but we will know more in the next 6-12 months as this health fiasco plays out.

Is Mandatory Vaccination Worth The Risks?

As of today, there are 6,183 COVID-19 vaccine related deaths in the United States according to the CDC’s VAERs website. We as health care providers are required to report vaccine related injury to the VAERs site.

And, yet, when we site this data (being the ONLY DATA available to us as clinicians required to make judgement calls in real time on the use of these vaccines) we are labeled “conspiracy theorists.”

Many of you have been very vocal, threatening me and stopped following my social media channels recently,: “Dr. Nally, why do you keep harping on this vaccine risk issue? I used to trust you . . .”

In fact, Facebook has consistently blocked me from doing any “live-streaming” for the last six months. They keep finding posts from 1-2 years ago that “violate community standards” and extend my ban on live-stream posting privilege’s.”

The Answer: Because, two more of my patients have been hospitalized with life-threatening blood clots in the lungs after vaccination, both of which have never had any history of clotting problems. “Houston, THIS IS A PROBLEM! Are you listening?!”

https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D8;jsessionid=6D180E77E02D9533F8867A5708ED

Are there errors in public reporting? Of course. That is to be expected. However, some researchers that use these data sets state that VAERs reporting may be under-reported generally by up to a factor of 5. That means that the number of vaccine related deaths could between 6,000 – 39,900 as of today.

Of course, Reuters.com, FactCheck.org and Snopes.com have no medical malpractice risk looming over their heads when they make their “fact checking” statements, nor do they have the life and health of a family member depending on their recommendations sitting in front of them in the exam room.

So, you be the judge. Just remember, the Swine Flu vaccine got pulled off the market after 450 cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) appeared and 3 deaths in elderly patients were reported within days of vaccination (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/concerns-history.html).

Influenza and Menactra vaccines increase the risk of GBS by 2 per 1,000,000 doses (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/guillain-barre-syndrome.html).

Currently the CDC admits that COVID-19 vaccines have been directly implicated in:

Blood Clots (life-threatening thrombosis and thrombocytosis syndrome) like blood clots in the lungs occur in 7 per 1,000,000 vaccinations.

Anaphylaxis occurs in 5 per 1,000,000 vaccinations.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) has occurred in 137 patients vaccinated.

Myocarditis/Pericarditis has been confirmed in over 700 cases of those vaccinated. (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html)

It is hard to imagine a more dangerous and asinine way of making decisions than by abdicating those health decisions into the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

So, for a virus that has a 99.98% unvaccinated survival rate across the US population, is the risk of giving up your freedom of choice worth taking?

Well, that’s really your choice. My job as your physician is to give you the pros and the cons. That’s what I’ve done. You’ve probably already commented to me about how you either agree or disagree with me. That’s OK. Because, unlike many other medical professionals, I’ve done my job.

Now, you need to decide, is the risk of a mandated vaccine worth defending your freedom over, or do you give up this hill, tuck your tail between your legs, roll up your sleeve and then retreat?

As for me, I may be alone, but I’m standing on this hill. You’re going to have to bury me to take it.

Vaccine Guidance Got You Confused?

Do you find yourself confused about mixed guidance when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines and safety concerns?  You’re not alone.  Even we, as physicians, struggle to wade through the ever changing guidance, research and new adverse events popping up every day.

Today, the Surgeon General recommended that we as physicians try to calm your concerns about the vaccine and encourage you to get it. While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Surgeon General are marketing widespread use of the emergency-use vaccines in the U.S. for both old and young alike, many other countries are limiting COVID-19 vaccine use. Health officials around the world are giving varying advice on safety issues as COVID-19 vaccines are given to more people, and more information can be collected.

Below are summaries of some of the concerns as of July 15th, 2021, that have emerged or been raised by medical officials around the world.  I’ve written about many of them.  Hopefully, this summary gives you a good 30,000 foot perspective.

General

Fifty-seven authors from 17 countries have signed an endorsement urging that Covid-19 vaccinations be stopped unless new safety mechanisms are immediately implemented.

The authors include Dr. Peter McCullough, cardiologist and Vice Chief of Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, who has called for a halt to vaccinating 30-year olds due to “no clinical benefit” and safety concerns.

In the United Kingdom, some scientists analyzed adverse event reports and called upon the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency to stop the Covid-19 vaccines as “not safe for human use” due to reports of issues with bleeding/clotting, pain, immune system, neurological, loss of sight/hearing/smell/speech, and questions about impact in pregnant women.

A petition of scientists led by Linda Wastila, Professor, Pharmaceutical Health Services Research University of Maryland School of Pharmacy is calling for Covid-19 vaccines to be disapproved.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome Autoimmune Paralysis

As of July 13th, 2021, the FDA issued a warning about Guillain-Barre autoimmune paralysis, in which the immune system attacks the body’s nerves, after immunization with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. According to reports, the cases have primarily been reported about two weeks after vaccination, mostly in men, and “any aged 50 and older.” The risk of contracting this syndrome is 3-5 times higher, meaning up to 10 out of every 100,000 vaccinated persons are at risk.

Numerous case reports of Guillain-Barre syndrome paralysis after Covid-19 vaccine have prompted scientists to warn that “all physicians” should be “vigilant in recognizing Guillain-Barre syndrome in patients who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine.”  Observations suggest that “this clinically distinct [Guillain-Barre syndrome] variant is more severe than usual and may require mechanical ventilation.”

In the U.K., scientists flagged “bifacial weakness and normal facial sensation in four men between 11 and 22 days after their first doses of the Astra-Zeneca vaccine.” A case has also been reported in a patient who got the Pfizer vaccine. In India, there are reports of seven severe cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome 10 to 14 days after the first dose of AstraZeneca’s vaccine. Six were women, all had facial paralysis, “all progressed to quadriplegia, and six required respiratory support. Patients’ ages ranged from 43 to 70. Four developed other cranial neuropathies, including abducens palsy and trigeminal sensory nerve involvement.”

Guillain-Barre syndrome has been reported after other mRNA vaccinations like Gardasil. The cause is believed to be damage to the immune system. The disorder can be extremely serious and can lead to total paralysis with dependence on artificial respiration. Even those who recover may have serious muscle wasting and may have to slowly teach the body to relearn most every normal task, such as walking.

Statistically, one in 20 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome is fatal.

Heart Issues

The Food and Drug Administration has added a new warning to Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines about risk of heart inflammation.

As of June of 2021, CDC said that more than 1,200 cases of heart inflammation (myocarditis of pericarditis) in young people had been reported after Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccination.

  • More than half were after the second dose.
  • Most of the injuries are in males under age 30.

The Israeli Ministry of Health announced it’s monitoring for heart inflammation after Pfizer’s vaccine due to reports of problems.

Myocarditis and Other Cardiovascular Complications of the mRNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccines [Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna] in a number of patients are described in a scientific article:

  • Two patients with clinically suspected myocarditis
  • One patient with stress cardiomyopathy 
  • Two patients with pericarditis 

According to the research: 

  • The two patients with clinically suspected myocarditis were otherwise healthy young men who presented with acute substernal chest pressure and/or dyspnea after receiving the second dose of the vaccine and were found to have diffuse ST elevations on electrocardiogram (ECG), elevated cardiac biomarkers and inflammatory markers, and mildly reduced left ventricular (LV) function on echocardiography. Both patients met the modified Lake Louise Criteria for acute myocarditis by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. 
  • A case of stress cardiomyopathy occurred in a 60-year-old woman with known coronary artery disease (CAD) and previously normal LV function, who presented with new exertional symptoms, ECG changes, and apical akinesis following the second dose of the vaccine. 
  • The two patients with pericarditis who presented with chest pain, elevated inflammatory markers, and pericardial effusions after receiving the vaccine.

Blood Clots

In late June, the first case of a blood clot disorder called “thrombosis with thrombocytopenia” after an RNA double-dose vaccine was been reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The case was that of a 65-year-old man who developed symptoms ten days after his second dose of the Moderna vaccine. Because the blood clot disorder was not previously warned about in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, doctors treated the patient with heparin, the very drug that’s not supposed to be used in post-vaccine patients suffering from the disorder because it could actually worsen the condition.

The Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccine was temporarily removed from the market in the U.S. on April 16, 2021 while health officials studied reports of blood clot injuries. Among them was an 18-year old teen named Emma Burkey, who got sick about a week after the Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccine and ended up having three brain surgeries related to blood clots and seizures.

The Johnson and Johnson vaccine was allowed back on the market April 27, 2021 with new warnings about the disorder.

Swedish health officials determined that people under age 65 should not get the Johnson and Johnson vaccine due to reports of blood clots.

An editorial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recommended women under age 50 avoid the Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccine due to concerns about blood clots. The recommendation discussed 12 case reports of a blood disorder known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) with thrombocytopenia following the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

The AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine (not currently approved in the U.S.) has been linked to a dangerous disorder involving blood clots with low blood platelets. On April 7, 2021, the European Medicines Agency says it made the association after it analyzed 62 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and 24 cases of splanchnic vein thrombosis reported in the EU drug safety database (EudraVigilance) as of March 22, 2021. Eighteen of these cases of were fatal.

An otherwise healthy South Florida doctor, Gregory Michael, died of a brain hemorrhage 16 days after he got Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine. Authorities concluded he died of a blood disorder called “immune thrombocytopenia” (ITP) that can prevent blood from clotting and cause internal bleeding. His wife said a blood test showed the level of his platelets to be at “zero.” She said before the shot, Dr. Michael had “absolutely no medical issues” and no underlying conditions. However, authorities later categorized his death as “natural.”

Dr. Charles Hoffe, a Canadian physician with 28 years of medical practice, was relived from hospital duty and placed on a gag order after sounding the alarm that 62% of the 900 dose of the Moderna Vaccine he gave in his office caused an elevated D-Dimer test, implying microscopic clotting throughout the body.

I’ve personally seen and treated five patients with elevated D-dimer and abnormal blood clotting post COVID-19 vaccination in the last 6 months. These clots have occurred with 4 hours to 2 weeks after vaccination in otherwise healthy patients with no other risk of clotting.

In Spain, the AstraZeneca shot has been restricted in people under age 60 due to reports of blood clots in younger people.

Bulgaria, Iceland and Norway have halted AstraZeneca shots. 

Austria, Italy and Romania banned certain “lots” or batches of the AstraZeneca shots.

Denmark stopped using the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine altogether as well as the Johnson and Johnson vaccine after investigations into blood clots, saying “the benefits of using the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson do not outweigh the risk of causing the possible adverse effect in those who receive the vaccine.”

The Italian government recently restricted AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine to adults over age 60 after a teenager who got the shot died from a rare form of blood clotting. Eighteen-year-old Camilla Canepa died after getting vaccinated May 25, 2021. 

Several other European countries have also stopped giving the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine to people below a certain age, usually ranging from 50 to 65. 

Grave’s disease Autoimmune Disorder

Studies in Mexico and Turkey link the autoimmune thyroid disorder Grave’s disease to Covid-19 vaccination in numerous female health care workers, including two who were breastfeeding. Pfizer-BioNTech was the vaccine given in Mexico. A Chinese vaccine was given in Turkey. Read more here.

Frail & Elderly

Health officials in Norway sounded the alarm after 23 patients died shortly after getting the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. They advise doctors to use caution in administering the shot to “very frail elderly patients.” 

After investigating 13 of the deaths, the Norwegian authorities concluded that common side effects from so-called “RNA” vaccines may be too much for a frail elderly person to handle, and may contribute to their death. 

“There is a possibility that these common adverse reactions, that are not dangerous in fitter, younger patients and are not unusual with vaccines, may aggravate underlying disease in the elderly,” said Steinar Madsen, medical director of the Norwegian Medicines Agency.

CDC said it is monitoring the impact of the vaccines on already-frail patients such as the chronically ill in nursing homes.

Several clusters of elderly patients in U.S. nursing homes died after Pfizer or Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. In one group, a number of the patients who died tested positive for Covid-19 after vaccination.

Pregnant Women

Several Brazilian states suspended use of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine for pregnant women in May 2021 after a pregnant woman died after getting vaccinated. The decisions follow the recommendation of the country’s National Health Surveillance Agency, which recommended “immediate suspension” of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine for pregnant women after results of vaccine adverse events monitoring in the country.

CDC says that with limited data on impact of Covid-19 vaccine in pregnant women and on their unborn children, the decision on whether to vaccinate while pregnant is an individual decision to be made between a woman and her physician.

Previously-Infected

CDC falsely claimed that studies showed Covid-19 vaccines are effective for those who already had Covid-19. In fact, studies showed the opposite.

Manufacturing Problems

On June 11, the European Union’s drug regulator announced it will not use batches of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine that were made at a Baltimore, Maryland-based plant around the time that cross-contamination manufacturing problems were reported at the facility.

Anonymous sources claimed that up to 60 million doses of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine had to be thrown out. But the FDA issued a news release saying that two batches from the Baltimore plant were safe to use. The FDA said “several other batches are not suitable for use, but additional batches are still under review.”

Lack of Immunity

Israel announced that about half of the adults infected with Covid-19 during its outbreak in the June 2021 time period were fully vaccinated. The fully-vaccinated individuals had gotten Pfizer’s shots.

According to Epoch Times, in June 2021 nearly 4,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts tested positive for Covid-19. On April 30, “the CDC reported that some 10,626 breakthrough cases were reported in 46 states and territories.” Breakthrough cases are where fully vaccinated people still end up infected with Covid-19.

Scientists hoped that Covid-19 vaccines would be effective in variants of Covid-19, which are mutations that occur naturally with viruses and were always expected with Covid-19. However, the vaccine effectiveness against variants may be limited. CDC and vaccine makers are studying the medical landscape to find out more. Other states, such as Maine, are noting Covid-19 deaths occurring in fully vaccinated people.

Israeli Ministry of Health Files Public Warning on COVID Vaccine

Rates of mycarditis/pericarditis in Israel is usually around 1/50,000. Since the onset of vaccination the rate of myocarditis/pericarditis increased to 1/5000.

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCIMAGING.120.010897. Arrows in figure C reflect fluid and inflammation around the pericardial sac

The Ministry of Health in Israel just filed this statement with the press:
“There is some probability for a possible link between the second vaccine dose and the onset of myocarditis among young men aged 16 to 30. This link was found to be stronger among the younger age group, 16 to 19, compared to other age groups. This link became weaker the older the vaccinated individual is. In most cases myocarditis took the form of mild illness that passed within a few days.
The recommendation to vaccinate teenagers aged 12-15 shall be discussed in the forum of the Pandemic Containment Task-Force and submitted to the approval of the Ministry of Health’s Director General. We shall issue a public update once a decision has been made.”
But, You Can Still Get Free Beer, Free Krispy Kreams and Free Pot If You Get Vaccinated, Right?!!
VAERS and CDC both report INCREASE IN MYOCARDITIS AND PERICARDITIS (up to 25 times greater than normal rates) in young men who received COVID-19 vaccination, a life threatening inflammation of the heart wall or the tissue surrounding the heart.
This has been seen in Israeli young men who have already had mass vaccination in that country. (The report concluded that around 1 in 5,000 men who receive the vaccine may experience this side effect, known as myocarditis).
And, to date, this is largely being ignored by employers and schools.  I just saw two patients today who were threatened with termination of their employment if they were not vaccinated immediately.  And, the CDC is STILL recommending vaccination of young adults. Until severe questions of medial risk regarding these issues is resolved, this is medically reckless and immoral.
More than double the number of deaths (5160 deaths) in the last 6 months due to vaccination have occurred compared to deaths from vaccines in the last five years – 1997 to 2013 (2149 deaths in US in all vaccines combined).
Yet, Ol’ Joe claimed in February, and then again just two weeks ago, that these vaccines “are safe, they are safe.”  Pfizer showed that symptoms of myocarditis was higher in their clinical studies in young adults in their early testing, and yet they’ve still pushed this vaccine.  And two weeks ago, the CDC ignored these findings when they released their statement that the vaccine is safe for youth 12 years and older.  If what we are seeing in this group of young men is real, these statements will be the most reckless health recommendation ever to be spoken by a siting American president.
Transparency is the foundation of medical ethics.  First, COVID-19 is NOT a threat to young children or young adults. Forcing college students and employees to get the vaccine “or else” is a violation of civil liberties in the most egregious way.
Today on their own website, the CDC reports myocarditis and pericarditis are risk factors with these vaccines:
“Since April 2021, there have been increased reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of cases of inflammation of the heart—called myocarditis and pericarditis—happening after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) in the United States.”
The reports show that most of these cases have been mild and occur within a week of the second dose with both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. As of today, most employers and colleges refuse to give any COVID vaccine exemptions to their employees or students.
The only way this unethical behavior and totalitarianism stops is if we, the people, demand a change.  You and I must be willing to walk into the arena, whatever it may be—a new relationship, an important meeting, the boss’s office, the school board meeting or a difficult family conversation—with courage and willingness to engage. Rather than sitting on the sidelines and hurling judgment and advice, you and I must dare to show up and let ourselves be seen. Change will take vulnerability. It will require daring greatly.  I will require you to make a decision and then take a stand.
