Several nuns die after taking first shot of COVID vaccine

Several nuns die after taking first shot of COVID vaccine

Out of 35 nuns, 26 tested positive for COVID just two days after getting the vaccine.

VILLA HILLS, Kentucky, February 25, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Earlier this month, 35 nuns in a northern Kentucky convent received an mRNA-developed COVID-19 vaccine. Just two days later, two died and twenty six others tested positive for the virus.

Sister Aileen Bankemper, prioress of the Benedictine Sisters of St. Walburg, noted that the monastery was completely locked down, with no movement of people into or out of the premises for some time prior to having the sisters vaccinated: “We [the Benedictine community] were shocked to have so many [COVID-19] cases since we were being extremely careful, not going out, and not having visitors since the beginning of the pandemic,” Fox19 NOW reported. She even claimed that the sisters “redoubled our efforts after the [Christmas] holiday surge.”

Sister Aileen confirmed in a Facebook post, “Twenty-eight sisters tested positive for COVID-19,” following the jab. “The majority of them were able to get the monoclonal antibodies [antibody infusions] through St. Elizabeth’s Senior Services. Their symptoms are being managed pretty well,” she added.

Two of their members, however, Sister Charles Wolking and Sister Rita Biltz, quickly deteriorated, dying on February 3, two days after receiving their COVID jabs. Neither had expressed symptoms nor had tested positive for the virus prior to taking the vaccine.

Sub-Prioress Sister Nancy Kordenbrok told WKRC that “[b]oth of them were elderly and had some health issues and were not able to compete with COVID.”

At the time, a third sister, Margaret Mary Gough, was admitted to ICU at St. Elizabeth Fort Thomas Hospital with respiratory problems after testing positive for COVID-19 following her first dose of the vaccine.

Sister Nancy initially expressed hope that Sister Margaret Mary was recovering, saying that she is “[c]urrently in ICU, but we think she will be moved from there. She’s doing so much better. She had serious respiratory issues.”

But yesterday, through the monastery’s official Facebook page, she too was confirmed to have died, on February 10, “from complications of the COVID virus.” One other sister recovered in ICU and was able to return to the monastery.

In an apparent attempt to quell fears about the dangers of the vaccine, Dr. Steven Feagins, the Hamilton County public health director, explained that strong side-effects are “actually way more common than you might think.”

He added that, in cases where the patient suffers side-effects, he recommends simply delaying the second dose: “Whenever you get it, you get it, so we consider the 21 days [between jabs] minimum,” he said.

The remaining sisters are set to receive their second dose of the vaccine in May.

Since the launch of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has recorded a total of 929 deaths from December 15, 2020, up to February 12, 2021, accounting for almost 6% of 15,923 adverse events on the system’s report.

1,869 people were hospitalized, 616 of whom were considered to have suffered a life-threatening reaction.

Roughly 66.5 million doses have been administered in the U.S. of either one of the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccinations offered by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Both were given emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December, and, until they are fully licenced by the regulator, are considered experimental.

During LifeSiteNews’ “Unmasking COVID-19” conference, Dr. Sheri TenpennyDr. Eric Nepute and Dr. Pam Popper joined LifeSite’s Stephen Kokx in a panel discussion focused on the science regarding the vaccines, and whether it is right to regard them as the chief protection against COVID-19. The medics decried even calling the injections “vaccines,” since they did not meet the standards necessary for the term, and warned about the risk of the experimental products themselves attacking the body’s immune response system.

Tenpenny argued that the currently available vaccines do not merit the name vaccine since they don’t “meet any of the standards by which a vaccine is supposed to work: to prevent the spread of infection, to keep you from getting sick, to keep you from being hospitalized, to decrease the amount of illness, to protect people from this contagion that’s out there. It doesn’t meet any of those standards.”

Describing the vaccine manufacturers as having “skipped all the steps” of normal testing and development procedures, Popper noted that “we have no possible hope that this could actually be either safe or effective.”

The U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which authorized the use of both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford/AstraZeneca developed COVID vaccines for use in Britain, reported that, between December 8 and February 14, it “has received 197 U.K. reports of suspected ADRs to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in which the patient died shortly after vaccination, 205 reports for the Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine, and 4 where the brand of vaccine was unspecified.”

“The majority of these reports were in elderly people or people with underlying illness,” the MHRA added.

Italy, too, reported major health concerns regarding the AstraZeneca vaccine after the Tribuna di Treviso newspaper reported “dozens and dozens” of teachers and professors in the Treviso region were too ill to teach on Monday morning, having received the vaccine over the weekend. Consequently, two middle schools had to close during the week due to a lack of staff.

Despite the numerous side-effects reported by those who received the vaccine, Michele Mongillo, the director of prevention and public health for the Veneto Region maintained an optimistic position on the effect of AstraZeneca’s abortion-tainted vaccine: “We have begun the vaccination with AstraZeneca this week; there have been a few local reactions, especially fever. Over six thousand doses were given, and a few cases of local reactions were reported to our offices. It’s a temporary phenomenon, and on the bright side it shows that the immune system is reacting to the vaccine.”

Meanwhile, in France, the same AstraZeneca vaccine has caused so many adverse side-effects that the French vaccination task force (Conseil d’orientation de la stratégie vaccinale) has recommended “a staggering of the vaccination schedule for people working in the same care unit” as well as “the systematic intake of paracetamol just before the injection and in the two following days.”

Do the Sisters get mail?

Covid by mail? Thet's nuts. It's a simple flu not ricin for crying out loud.

My husband’s doctor’s nurse called the other day to see if he had gotten the vaccine yet. I guess our doctor’s worried about him; he has emphysema. But we’re waiting for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, if we take one at all.

That vaccine is even more immoral.

Johnson and Johnson's vaccine is based on adenovirus vectors that uses an aborted fetal cell line (PER.C6) (https://www.jnj.com/johnson-johnson-announces-a-lead-vaccin...). Adenovirus vector vaccines have been around for decades and failed to produce a vaccine against HIV (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2234358) and has yet to produce a vaccine against seasonal influenza.

Probably there are “special” vials of vaccines set aside for patients who obviously believe in Jesus.

I did read the article.

What you said is in no way a rebuttal to what I said. What was the point of it?

I’m not anti-vaxx.
I’m pro informed consent.

Informed consent gets you out of the hysterical sheeple category. That makes you a wide eyed kook who wants people to die. /sarc

My attitude can be simply summed up thus:

I weigh the fact that we have to sift through enormous amounts of hyperbole and disinformation, combined with the low death rate, set against a "vaccine" (I use that term loosely) which is truly experimental and has been rammed through with testing that is laughable as far as vaccines are concerned.

Add to that the significantly declining spread of the disease and the fact that treatment has progressed considerably in spite of the best efforts of the anti treatment/pro vaccine establishment to hinder treatment, and I believe the best thing for me to do is sit back and see how this plays out.

The odds of the disease do not justify this so called vaccine. Pardon the expression, it is overkill.

Your comment was that "(t)he headline makes it sound like they died from taking the vaccine."

They obviously did die from taking the vaccine!

Not sure what ping list this is, but can you check and see if I am on it?

Thanks!

So two died and out of 35 nuns, 26 tested positive for COVID just two days after getting the vaccine?!

Is this common that out of 35 nuns, 26 would test positive in 2 days???

It is scientifically certain and biologically impossible to get the disease from the virus.

WHAT??

If people touch the mail, it can have Covid on it.

Think before you speak.

Should people count on the postal carry not to cough or sneeze near there mail or in their hand????

What about licked envelopes??

If I have Covid but not showing symptoms and lick a letter closed, the opener could be exposed even after 4 days.......

We don’t live in a world where we can’t count on others.
That makes isolation impossible.

Not everyone is as paranoid as you are.

The facts

Research and guidance from the world’s leading health organisations, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), The Journal of Hospital Infection, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, suggests that the risk relating to Covid-19 transmission from surfaces is relatively low. According to the World Health Organisation, “The likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low and the risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package that has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperate is also low.”[1]

There is life outside your little bubble.

Not paranoid or in fear.........again you twist things just to be able to debate or disagree.

I was simple commenting that in our 1st World living, we as a society can Not isolate enough to prevent a flu or even a cold exposure.

We don’t grow our own food, we don’t raise our own cattle, many don’t hunt or can’t in the Cities.

We have forgotten or never learned how our forefathers lived and survived without Walmart or Kroger or the gas station.

The Nuns in question still have to eat. They need to travel to get their food. The need medications as they’re elderly.

That means exposure, to all things, even the common cold. Putting gasoline in their Nun station wagon, shopping, touching carts, rails, products, etc.

The discussion was isolation.......not your argumentative nature.

Now you're just making stuff up out of thin air. You have no idea of the nuns' daily routines.

“We [the Benedictine community] were shocked to have so many [COVID-19] cases since we were being extremely careful, not going out, and not having visitors since the beginning of the pandemic,” Fox19 NOW reported.

And you fail to address the fact the fact that the very personnel and equipment brought in to vaccinate the nuns may been the carriers of the Wuhan flu. For instance, they are now vaccinating the indigenous peoples in the Brazilian amazon. Now why vaccinate such an isolated population with an experimental, largely untested vaccine against a flu which is primarily transmitted by aerosol particles?

For those looking for study this is an interesting read.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0035421

Immunization with SARS Coronavirus Vaccines Leads to
Pulmonary Immunopathology on Challenge with the
SARS Virus.
From the study

Conclusions:

These SARS-CoV vaccines all induced antibody and protection against infection with SARS-CoV. However, challenge of mice given any of the vaccines led to occurrence of Th2-type immunopathology suggesting hypersensitivity to SARS-CoV components was induced. Caution in proceeding to application of a SARS-CoV vaccine in humans is indicated.

It was the 2012 Challenge Trial in which ferrets given an experimental Virus-Like-Particles vaccine (with excellent antibody response!) suffered complete lung opacity and death when exposed to the natural SARS-1 and cautioned against human trials in plain language, something you don’t often see in a research paper.

Nuns don’t drive? They don’t shop? They don’t handle a shopping cart?

Have you been injured by a kicking horse? Hove meets Head thingy?

I threw in the Station Wagon for the heck of it. The Nuns I knew always drove station wagons or later in the 90’s Caravans.

Nit-pick away........

Only people that have been vaccinated give the vaccine.

However, good point.......it’s 95% effective and I guess one of the Nurses (if they visited the Nuns at home and the Nuns didn’t need to go to the clinic) could have been a contagious carrier.

Which of course proves my point but you don’t even see it.
No one can truly isolate.
