Brandy Parker-McFadden is still a proponent of the Covid-19 vaccines. We, on the other hand, are not.
A Nashville woman felt extreme pain in her neck before waking up paralyzed from the neck down less than 24-hours after taking the second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
Brandy Parker-McFadden, a mother of three, has been hospitalized for nearly two weeks. Her story has gone nearly completely unreported by mainstream media with local media only picking up the story after Parker-McFadden started getting sensation back in her extremities. That local news outlet, WKRN News 2 in Nashville, has been bracketing the story with others claiming there’s nothing to worry about with the vaccines as they combat “vaccine anxiety” among local residents.
“Our youngest is like, ‘are you ever going to walk again?'” she said, fighting back tears. “And so, you know, we just reassure him this is extremely rare.”
The woman, who appears to be younger than the at-risk age of 70-years-old or higher, received her second Pfizer Covid shot April 16th. Hours later, an unusual sensation started in her legs and continued to other parts of her body.
“Then it turned into I had a horrible neck pain and it just kept getting worse and worse,” she said.
Government and mainstream media have been pressing people to get one of three vaccines, none of which have been FDA-approved or properly tested. This despite the statistics that clearly show recovery rates for those infected are extremely high. As Ned Ryun noted on Twitter:
“I use these CDC numbers all the time on TV and in op-eds to remind people that everything; lockdowns, tens of millions of Americans losing jobs, economic destruction, tens of thousands of small Biz ceasing to exist, was off a virus with a survivability rate of pretty much 99.5%.”
“I woke up and I was like, ‘I can’t move my arms, I can’t move my legs,’ and so he’s [her husband] freaking out,” she said. “The doctors are panicking.”
Parker-McFadden appears to be in the 20-49 age range which has a recovery rate for those infected by Covid-19 of 99.98%, according the CDC. That means that out of 10,000 people her age who get infected, two die on average.
“I’m holding her hand and her hand is limp throughout the whole thing while she’s screaming and pain,” her husband said.
Ten days after being hospitalized, she’s showing signs of a slow recovery. She is now able to move her arms and wiggle her toes. She is the first known epileptic to have this type of adverse effect to the vaccine, though at least four others, all women, have reportedly been temporarily paralyzed from the vaccines.
The problem isn’t just with pressure by Big Pharma and government officials, all of whom have major incentives to promote the vaccines. It’s also Big Tech and mainstream media who are in on the push. Moreover, they’re preventing journalists, doctors, and activists from publishing warnings about the vaccines. Case-in-point: This article from Natural News about censoring Robert F. Kennedy Jr:
Big Tech now colluding with Big Pharma to keep the truth from Americans as Instagram bans Robert F. Kennedy’s vaccine truths All American institutions are now wholly ‘owned’ by globalist billionaires who have no loyalty to their country or their fellow citizens; only to profits and control at all costs.
Big Tech — Google, YouTube, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter — have all gotten so big they literally control the flow of information that Americans can see. Study after study has proven as much, and there is no more eminent researcher in this field than Dr. Robert Epstein.
“Google and similar companies like Facebook are completely unregulated in the United States, so they can do whatever they please,” he said in 2019.
“If they all work together in 2020 to support the same presidential candidate, they can shift upwards of 15 million votes with no one knowing that they have been manipulated and without leaving a paper trail,” he said.
That’s precisely what they did, but it’s even worse that vote tampering and stealing American elections, if you can imagine. These same companies control the flow of information in a way that makes Communist regimes like China blush.
In August, before Big Tech helped Joe Biden’s handlers steal the election for him, then-President Donald Trump revealed the truth: Big Tech 100-percent controls what information we see.
“The tech companies are very dishonest about that and about free speech,” Trump told Breitbart News.
He was right, as vaccine researcher and truth-teller Robert F. Kennedy has discovered. He was recently banned from Instagram after he tried to share revealing information about vaccines and why Americans should not just blindly believe they are universally good for humanity.
NPR, which is partially funded by taxpayers, helped perpetuate the lie about why he was censored:
0:05 / 29:28 6 seconds... Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now blocked from Instagram after he repeatedly undercut trust in vaccines. Kennedy has also spread conspiracy theories about Bill Gates, accusing him of profiteering off vaccines and attempting to take control of the world’s food supply.
“We removed this account for repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines,” a spokesperson for Facebook, which owns Instagram, told NPR on Thursday.
Kennedy has been a prominent voice in the anti-vaccine community for years, speaking out against childhood vaccines and promoting controversial and disproven claims that seek to link vaccines with autism.
First of all it isn’t ‘anti-vaccine.’ Kennedy isn’t ‘anti-vaccine’ as much as he is in favor of telling the truth about them and letting Americans decide on their own what they want to do. That is especially important now in the age of the COVID-19 vaccines, one of which (Johnson & Johnson) has been blamed for causing deadly blood clots in several women (but it’s been cleared again for use anyway).
In addition, the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer was recently linked to brain damage and neurodegenerative disease.
But for some reason, Kennedy isn’t allowed to tell his followers or anyone else who will listen that there are inherent dangers to these vaccines.
Even Kennedy’s own family has come out against him.
“We love Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but he is part of a misinformation campaign that’s having heartbreaking — and deadly — consequences,” Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Joseph P. Kennedy II and Maeve Kennedy McKean wrote in an opinion piece for Politico, another left-wing government mouthpiece pushing unquestioning compliance with getting vaccinated.
Still, Kennedy is soldiering on. He is warning people that the Pfizer vaccine in particular, that the new mRNA technology used to create it and some of the first COVID vaccines, is untested and can lead to serious health problems.
“The current RNA based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were approved in the U.S. using an emergency order without extensive long term safety testing,” a recent report published in the journal Microbiology & Infectious Diseases noted.
This is a peer-reviewed publication. But Big Tech won’t let Robert F. Kennedy say the same thing.
Why is scientific discourse on the topic of vaccines being quashed? Mainstream media and Big Tech claim to believe the science, but they’re unwilling to allow us to discuss it if we’re not accepting their prescribed narrative.
It is IRRATIONAL to mandate the above actions before even knowing what it was that we were dealing with. And forget about those Doctors and scientists questioning the reaction or suggesting other methods of dealing with it, they were summarily dismissed and punished.
We've had other viruses in this country and never was there a reaction like this most recent one. One exception could be the spanish flu but that was before advances in medical science.
Now the playbook on how to control us has been written and publish. Expect more of the same everytime someone sneezes. It's evil but it sure showed what a nation of sheep America has become.
False. The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) exists explicitly for the purpose of compensating anyone who is injured by a vaccine in the list: https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp
It came about as a result of the PREP Act of 2005.
The Chinese vaccines work about half the time: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-55642648
https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-sinovac-covid-19-vaccine-is-50-4-in-late-stage-brazil-trials-11610470581
Wouldn’t bet my money (or my life) on any product out of China. Buy American.
There is your pro-COVID propganda lying again.
The CICP has a maximum payout in death of $370,376, IF you can prove it was the vaccine, IF your hire an attorney, and IF the system allows it and doesn’t drag its feet.
$370k is peanuts for a lost loved one, especially for someone who isn’t pizza delivery boy like you making tips for wages.
Thanks for the info!
Isn’t it interesting that Congress didn’t see fit to provide for folks harmed by doing what they were told.
I’m not taking the idiot bait. The meaning of my post was clear and precise. Perhaps try reading it again.
First you said “No where. She gets nothing.”
Then I pointed out that was wrong.
Then you said “The CICP has a maximum payout in death of $370,376” and called ME a liar?
Bearing false witness is a sin.

Please watch this. This is the best explanation on how the vaccination destroys our own immune system.
DR. Geert Vanden Bossche
How do you mean?
Ahh yes, the veterinary doctor (as in dogs and cats) who released letters on Twitter and LinkedIn (the greatest scientific journals ever) predicting the end of the world!
Here’s why it’s a bunch of nonsense: https://zdoggmd.com/vanden-bossche/
Being a nerd such as yourself and spreading COVID propaganda is a sin, Sunshine.
You’re one of those nerds that are annoying in social situations. If someone were to say you die if you fell out of an airplane at 5,000 feet, you’d be the nerd who wants to claim there was this one guy who didn’t die because he fell down the side of a slick hillside so that statement isn’t true.
No one except a kid like you thinks $370k is anything for a death from a vaccine. We’re talking millions of dollars in damages but the government prohibits it. Only a kid like you thinks getting a paltry sum is worth mentioning.
You might want to actually read the Bible before improperly trying to use it as an attack on others. What I said was not “bearing false witness”, but to a liberal like you, I can see how you made the mistake. You childish idiots always take things out of context.
My Wifoo asked me when I’m going to get vaccinated. I told her ‘when the FDA approves the vaccines’.
Let’s set aside the childish name-calling for a moment and focus on the numbers.
142 million Americans have gotten a COVID-19 vaccine so far. COVID-19 has a 0.65% Infection Fatality Rate (99.35% survival). So if that same 142 million Americans got COVID-19 instead of the vaccine, we would expect about 923,000 of them to die.
No one is claiming 923,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 vaccines. Doing so would be so laughable that it isn’t worth even making such a silly claim. So by the numbers, the vaccines are saving lives.
You claimed there was nowhere to go if you’re injured by a COVID-19 vaccine and no compensation is available. That was a lie. Or maybe you were just ignorant of the program that exists for that purpose? Either way, you made a definitive statement that was wrong. You were wrong. But you refuse to accept it; opting instead to argue over the dollar figure of a human life. You want to move the goalposts because you can’t admit you were wrong. You can call me names, but you can’t admit you were wrong.
Grow up.
Pfizer and Moderna have all the required data to file for full FDA approval and are expected to do so in the next few weeks. It will likely take FDA a few months to process that, but on the strength of all the data collected thus far in the US and abroad, it’s expected they’ll both gain full FDA approval by this fall.
I think there are a lot of people waiting for that to happen, so it’ll be good to reach that milestone so they feel comfortable getting vaccinated.
Thanks for that link. It is an interesting take. If I understood it, he is saying that these vaccines are really good at going after the Covid spike protein they are designed to attack, and maybe some of the variants.
But if the virus mutates further the point that it is no longer recognizable by the antibodies created by the vaccine then it could be a problem because these vaccine induced antibodies are “stronger” (for lack of a better term) and may out-produce or crowd-out the naturally created antibodies that are generated by the immune system.
It’s a theory. I am not sure how much to believe it. If you had asked me before I saw the video I would have just believed that “well then it’s like not having been vaccinated at all and the body will try to fight it” but what he seems to be saying is “yet, the body will try to fight it but it will be competing with itself and these other antibodies”. Gotta wrap my head around it and dig around further.
Open to corrections and clarifications.
He’s not the first person to postulate about the risks of viral escape caused by trying to vaccinate in the middle of a pandemic while mutations are still on the rise.
I am in no position to judge the situation but what he seems to be saying is there is a risk that the virus will mutate enough that it will evade the vaccine induced antibodies while at the same time the vaccine induced antibodies will limit the creation of innate antibodies by some mechanism e.g. crowded out by the artificial spike protein antibodies, or that the body tricks itself into thinking it is already working against the mutation when it isn’t.
Towards the end he discusses a little bit about his worry that with new variants still popping up, people may think they are immune but will end up becoming carriers for these mutations or catch this more severe strain and have limited natural ability to fight it. Again I’m in no position to judge just trying to absorb his postulate.
The interesting point is that the CCP didn't even try to do a sub-unit (e.g., S-protein targeting) vax. They certainly could have gone that route if they wanted to.
It is not surprising that the CCP whole virus vaxs are less effective. Coronaviruses are big and complex which can make it harder in general to get a whole virus vax working.
In contrast, sub-unit vaccines are designed to target a specific feature or characteristic of a pathogen -- in SARS2 the spike protein is targeted.
There are tradeoffs with using sub-unit vaxs that the CCP certainly considered. Including that it may be easier for pathogens to mutate to avoid/defeat the narrowly targeted sub-unit vaccines.
Also, there are some plausible theories that using sub-unit vaxs in the middle of a raging pandemic accelerates the mutations and could lead to "blinding" the vaccinated immune systems to the mutated virus. One immunologist suggests we are doing a global 'gain-of-function' experiment.
I don't understand his theory enough to repeat it here, but one comment struck me. He said if you wanted to rapidly evolve/mutate SARS2 into something more dangerous (e.g., gain-of-function), this is exactly how he would do it.
It's sheer absurdity to claim that vaccinating while a disease is active in the population is a bad idea. If that were true, why did it work just fine with smallpox, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, diphtheria, etc.?
Why is it suddenly only now - after decades of successfully deploying vaccines to combat disease - that the vaccines are suddenly going to cause all these problems? Asking people to buy this nonsense is asking them to ignore observable reality and the history they've lived through.
We've seen what happens when you vaccinate while a disease is active: the disease goes away.
"There is a risk that the virus will mutate enough that it will evade the vaccine induced antibodies while at the same time the vaccine induced antibodies will limit the creation of innate antibodies by some mechanism e.g. crowded out by the artificial spike protein antibodies, or that the body tricks itself into thinking it is already working against the mutation when it isn’t."
That isn't how the human immune system works. At all. That's like saying there's a risk we're start floating into the stratosphere. No, there isn't, because that's not how it works.
Yes, viruses can mutate such that existing antibodies are reduced in effectiveness or so they stop working entirely. That happens all the time. It's why you need a flu shot every year and why the flu shot (which takes about 8 months to design and produce) is only 40-60% effective. Antigenic drift is something we've dealt with for decades. We're dealing with it now with SARS-CoV-2 and the South Africa, Brazil, and Indian variants. The existing vaccines are still very effective against all known variants, but a "booster" shot that's tuned for the new variants will be available in the fall to up the effectiveness against them.
There's no such thing as "innate antibodies". Antibodies are produced by B cell lymphocytes at the prompting of T cells specifically generated in the lymph nodes based on the antigens collected by dendritic cells and transported there. A very well done explanation of this process is available here. There is also no such thing as anything being "crowded out by the artificial spike protein antibodies". For one thing, there's no "artificial spike protein antibodies". That's not a real thing here. The COVID-19 vaccines available in the US work by getting cells to produce S proteins from SARS-CoV-2. Your body's dendritic cells grab those S proteins and take them to the lymph nodes, same as they would during an actual infection. From there, the process continues just as it would in infection, except there's no virus actually running around damaging tissues. And the body doesn't "trick itself". It produces antibodies against recognized antigens. If the antigen changes such that the antibodies won't work, it's a new antigen.
"Towards the end he discusses a little bit about his worry that with new variants still popping up, people may think they are immune but will end up becoming carriers for these mutations or catch this more severe strain and have limited natural ability to fight it."
Pure, unadulterated, fearmongering speculation without a shred of evidence to justify it. This has literally never happened in the history of human disease. It didn't happen with smallpox, nor polio, nor with the flu, nor measles, nor anything else. Will new variants emerge? Undoubtedly. Is it possible new ones will emerge which no existing antibodies work again? Sure. But if that's the case, nobody who recovered from a previous infection will fare any better than anyone vaccinated and we'll have a new vaccine prepared in short order to nip it in the bud.
This guy should back to working on dogs and cats. He's clearly putting out fearmongering nonsense on social media rather than publishing it in a scientific journal specifically to catch an audience unprepared to laugh at it as uneducated fearmongering. He's effectively treating you as a moron by posting this nonsense. I encourage you to do research for yourself into how the human immune system actually works (starting with the link I provided) so you too can laugh at this nonsense.
You’re talking about Geert Vanden Bossche? The veterinarian (dogs and cats doctor)? Who posted a nonsensical bunch of fearmongering to LinkedIn and Twitter rather than publishing it in a scientific journal because a science journal would understand it’s laughably stupid nonsense? Yeah, I’m not worried about that. Saw it, laughed at it, all better now.
And coronaviruses are not that “big and complex”. Measles is larger, Influenza is about the same size, as is HIV. Herpesvirus features a genome size that’s 4-8 times larger (125kb to 240kb versus 29.8-29.9kb for SARS-CoV-2). adenovirus 2(Ad2) has a genome size of ~36kb.
Further, the size or complexity of the virus is not terribly relevant to the immunopathology surrounding it.
"Of the viruses that attack humans, coronaviruses are big. At 125 nanometres in diameter, they are also relatively large for the viruses that use RNA to replicate, the group that accounts for most newly emerging diseases. But coronaviruses really stand out for their genomes. With 30,000 genetic bases, coronaviruses have the largest genomes of all RNA viruses. Their genomes are more than three times as big as those of HIV and hepatitis C, and more than twice influenza’s."

Also, I am sure you know that Bossche's career and expertise in virology and immunology goes well beyond his initial training as a vet. It is curious you toss that in to deflect from his broader background.
I don't know why people are so polarized. I chose not be a guinea pig in BigPharma's push to get general approval for mRNA therapies. I have never been much of an early adopter. Others can make their choice.
When the FDA approves a whole virus vaccine for COVID-19 I will happily take it.
