America's Frontline Doctors on the COVID vaccines: A white paper that is the first objective look at the experimental vaccines that are now being enthusiastically offered to the public on an ever-increasing scale.

America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) recently published a white paper that is the first objective look at the experimental vaccines that are now being enthusiastically offered to the public on an ever-increasing scale.

They are the group that advocated for the safety of the very well-known, long-studied and widely-used drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 during the summer of 2020, holding a well-publicized press conference in Washington, D.C. They were, of course, immediately attacked and almost entirely silenced for their efforts because hydroxychloroquine had been touted by President Trump as an effective treatment against Covid-19.

A few key highlights from the paper: First, all three vaccine candidates -- from Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Moderna -- are still experimental and investigational. Pfizer, in its own executive summary to the FDA on December 10, 2020 calls it “...an investigational Covid-19 vaccine.”

The experimental vaccines from both Pfizer and Moderna utilize mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) which instructs the body’s cells on manufacturing proteins. It is technology that has not “ever been approved for any disease, or even entered final-stage trials until now.” There have been no independently published animal studies on any of the vaccines, and it is not yet known what effects they will have on the elderly, the very young, or women who are pregnant or might become pregnant in the near future. I’d say those are important groups whose safety is critical.

The white paper speaks extensively about Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) as a well-known complication of vaccines that can result in a making the disease worse if contracted. It also goes into somewhat frightening detail about the possibility that the mRNA vaccines “may permanently interfere with a woman’s ability to maintain a pregnancy.”

27 million doses in the US so far and there does not appear to be a serious issue.

==

Per this report....181 deaths, as of that date....

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3928351/posts

I’ve seen other reports with 55 ++ deaths, as well as ‘serious’ side effects (seizures, severe allergic reactions, Bell’s Palsy, other palsy type reactions, etc.)

Time will tell, since this is an experimental shot....and, what will happen with continued exposures to this, or other coronaviruses.

Good for you, on deciding what is best for YOU. Eveyone needs to do that.

That ivmmeta link has multiple studies that indicate much higher efficacy, up in the 80+% range.

ARE THERE OTHER WAYS AND MEANS?

There are other ways and means to enhance your resistance against viruses including that by now infamous covid-19 virus aside from taking any of these “Quick” developed vaccines utilizing a messenger RNA. So far science has not evolved far enough yet to be certain how the human body will react many month or years down the road once we start tinkering around with our RNA and how our bodies will react should we encounter mutated strains of similar viruses.

Below is a list of vitamins as well as nutrients suggested by a physician to enhance your resistance, they are harmless and even beneficial to your body unless someone goes crazy and over doing it. Even so they will NOT protect you from getting any specific viruses; neither will any of those new “QUICK” developed vaccines. But not only will they make you more resistant but also HELP YOU TO OVERCOME the effects of such a virus more quickly, should you have bad luck getting it. And once you are over it, your natural immune system will take over and PROTECT YOU considerably better than any vaccination, this according to a statement by Merck.

Another suggestion to the wise, take some time and read up on each of these suggested components which is freely available on the internet.

Vitamin D — Vitamin D supplements are readily available and one of the least expensive supplements on the market. All things considered, vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest and most beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections, and can strengthen your immune system in a matter of a few weeks.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) — NAC is a precursor to reduced glutathione, which appears to play a crucial role in COVID-19. According to one literature analysis,7 glutathione deficiency may actually be associated with COVID-19 severity, leading the author to conclude that NAC may be useful both for its prevention and treatment.

Zinc — Zinc plays a very important role in your immune system’s ability to ward off viral infections. Like vitamin D, zinc helps regulate your immune function8 — and a combination of zinc with a zinc ionophore, like hydroxychloroquine or quercetin, was in 2010 shown to inhibit SARS coronavirus in vitro. In cell culture, it also blocked viral replication within minutes.9 Importantly, zinc deficiency has been shown to impair immune function.

Melatonin — Boosts immune function in a variety of ways and helps quell inflammation. Melatonin may also prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection by recharging glutathione11 and enhancing vitamin D synthesis, among other things.

Vitamin C — A number of studies have shown vitamin C can be very helpful in the treatment of viral illnesses, sepsis and ARDS,12 all of which are applicable to COVID-19. Its basic properties include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antithrombotic and antiviral activities. At high doses, it actually acts as an antiviral drug, actively inactivating viruses. Vitamin C also works synergistically with quercetin.

Quercetin — A powerful immune booster and broad-spectrum antiviral, quercetin was initially found to provide broad-spectrum protection against SARS coronavirus in the aftermath of the 2003 SARS epidemic,14,15,16 and evidence suggests it may be useful for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 as well. Not only that but quercetin also acts as an ionophore for zinc similar to hydroxychloroquine, in simple English it will unlock the cells so zinc can enter and start killing he virus. Not to mention that it also has many other health benefits.

B vitamins — B vitamins can also influence several COVID-19-specific disease processes, including17 viral replication and invasion, cytokine storm induction, adaptive immunity and hypercoagulability.

Oh, I mentioned you in one of my posts, and meant to ask you but couldn’t remember to, the 40% efficacy or so you mentioned for ivermectin, was that for severe cases in the critical care settings? Or was that for overall protection pre covid? I can’t find any info about prophylaxis for ivermectin, other tha a chart so enemy posted awhile back indicating an astonishing 99% IF taken every week, or 90% if taken once a month.

I don’t know where that chart was frk either. The poster didn’t give link

I wouldn’t consider this to be an ‘objective look’ at these vaccines. Some basic research reveals that the American’s Front Line Doctors are not all they represent themselves to be.

For example: “America’s Frontline Doctors is an American right-wing political organization. Founded by Simone Gold and promoted by the Tea Party Patriots, It has opposed lockdowns and social distancing mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic by citing alleged and unapproved treatments for COVID-19.” Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America‘s_Frontline_Doctors

Another example: “On July 29, 2020, we reported that many members of America’s Frontline Doctors, a physician group that spread misinformation about the pandemic, had little to no experience treating COVID-19 patients. Here, we take a look at the messages that group has continued to spread during the pandemic.” MEDPAGE TODAY.

https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/90536

Some more commentary form MEDPAGE TODAY:
These claims were not backed by data and neither member provided examples of vaccine mandates. Gold and Todaro did not respond to requests for comment from MedPage Today.

Physicians and medical experts were outraged by these sentiments, stating that clinicians who have actually treated COVID patients on the frontlines would never support these claims.

“For the record, nearly all the frontline doctors I’ve worked with and spoken to who’ve actually taken care of critically ill COVID-19 patients and seen how horrible this virus can be have been eagerly getting in line and grateful to roll up their sleeves,” Craig Spencer, MD, MPH, an emergency physician at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University in New York City, wrote on Twitter.

Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, a vaccine researcher from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, emphasized that no American is being forced to take a vaccine, and criticized the credentials of any clinician who would oppose immunization.

“No real frontline doctor objects to this vaccine,” Hotez wrote on Twitter. “Only the antivax, ‘health freedom’ movement linked to right wing extremism.”

Angela Rasmussen, PhD, a virologist at Georgetown University, stated that there is no such thing as “forcing” anyone to get vaccinated.

“I’d imagine President Trump feels the same way”

You can imagine elephants tied down by knitting yarn if you wish.

And you can shove that yarn up your butt then pull it out your nose if it makes you feel better.

President Trump has already said he'll take the vaccine when it's appropriate. Are you calling him a liar?

Thanks ill check that out. One poster. Can’t remember who now,posted a graphic showing supposed 90+% to near 100% protection(depe ding on how often you take it) pre covid. Wish I feed the graph now. But I can’t confirm that of course, and can’t find i fo o. That. I don’t want to risk taking the vet ivermectin if the prophylaxis protection isn’t going to be significant. I’ve been taking it for a month now, had third dose last week. No APPARRENT symptoms or side effects other tha. Slight runs. But again, I don’t wanna continue if the protection isn’t very good

Your rage and calling people murderers is frankly disgusting. What therapeutics.
HCQ does little to help in disease. I thinks an ok prophylaxis though imperfect

As I have been saying for three weeks there is a therapeutic thst works. But you insist on weak therapeutics that are imperfect

If you want to do good on the therapeutic side... anyone who is over 66 or has comorbidities and tests positive with symptoms should without delay have 700 mg of Bamlanivimab IV. It is administered at an infusion center outpatient. It is ineffective after severe disease.

I have personally seen it turn around moderate disease heading for disaster in 24-36 hours. This is like regeneron. It is targeted exactly at the virus and works well

Continuing to promote weak therapeutics makes you the person with blood on your hands. Continuing to paint vaccines as dangerous leaves you in the side or wanting people to be ill.

And before you start your usual nonsense of attacking my faith and attacking the science of the 24 M people vaccinated I am certain that if there were going to be death upon reexposure to Covid we would see the bodies piling up.

They are not
These are the facts
They are not in dispute.

Maybe it’s not a coincidence that just prior to the emergence of “covid-19 the whole movement to criticize “anti-vacsers” was reaching a fever pitch (even here on the FR, still ongoing). What better way to convince the sheep to march right out and demand an untested, unproven, potentially dangerous vaccine than a multi-year pogrom to demonize those that would question the application of said vaccine? What’s the end game? Many here are on to it, many are nott.

Yep.

Sadly.....it seems to be working :-(

First they intimidate, then instill fear, then intimidate, again, with a pushed ‘solution’.

Where’ve we seen this play by play, before? 🤔

The strategy is to try to label people with critical thinking skills with good questions as “anti-vaxxers” to shut down any logical inquiry outside the spoon-fed narrative.

And “medical experts” can't always be trusted. How else do you explain this?

Bill Hates Reminds me of “Zeus” in the 1981 movie, “Clash of the Titans”. He stands on Mount Olympus above and moves us little people around at will. Occasionally sending a hit squad against dissent. Who can resist this little Malthusian god? Everyone must get his vaccine. I guess we’re all Odysseus now!

Thanks for your post. You are spot on. They have blood on their hands.

If Hydroxy, Ivermectin was widely used there would not be a need for a rushed vaccine.

You do realize that these are some of the same nut-cases that stormed the capital on 6 Jan.
BTW, you are correct about wikipedia but I notice you said nothing about medpage which also criticized them.
