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 Tenpenny, Dr. 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.”
More evidence to not rush out and get the vaccine unless you have specific pre-conditions that warrant the risk.
Curious....why would someone with pre-conditions want to take an experimental “vax” that could possibly inflict more damage (especially long term) than, say, proven, safe, effective known treatments that have been around for years, that pose no known, or MINIMAL, if any side effects?
I just got my first Pfizer shot today. Will update.
Well, first: because I’m old, with some health concerns, and - mainly - because I’m probably going to be required to take it eventually, to continue my work.
I have no fear of taking the J&J vaccine. It may be as useless as the ‘flu vaccines I’ve taken in the past have proven to be - but I have no suspicions that it will harm me.
This is something that every person has to make their own decision about - and hopefully will do so with at least a modicum of research.
You can’t expect people to base their decisions about this on statistics. People have all sorts of individual concerns. They’re Free, like that...
Who is the atheist scumbag that added the obviously sarcastic “godsplanforthem” keyword?
Most likely they were infected before they were vaccinated.
I predicted this comment 🙄
Did yoy read the article? They were NOT China flu positive, when they received the experimental ‘vax’.
Yeah, those danged, cloistered nuns....always sneaking out to mingle with crowds, and get infected with covid.
Geez.
“NOT any bs links from the illegitmate CDC, or lying msm, thank you.”
Unfortunately The ‘Net has fallen dead on its A$$ over the last few years wrt providing access to first/original sources.
SAD.
You mean “from the vaccine” in the first sentence, I assume.
Yes. Thank you. Responding on a phone leads to typos. Apologies
Perhaps they were infected by those tasked with giving them the ‘vaccine’...
Yeah, I’m holding out for J&J or similar.
Call me an old fashioned Science based reprobate.
“Just curious why you would be taking a ‘safer’...”
I’ve stopped asking that question. Most of the people who are interested in health and wellness will have by now figured out how to avoid a serious viral infection without a vaccine. And if they haven’t figured it out, they will be predisposed to information (not medical advice) offered by various FReepers in these cv19 discussions. The folks who are all-in with Pharma don’t care about any such info (it is “quackery”). Let them assume the risk. I sincerely hope that they’ll be OK, but if they have received the real shot (as opposed to placebo, like the political figures received), I’m wouldn’t hold my breath.
Well, first: because I’m old, with some health concerns, and - mainly - because I’m probably going to be required to take it eventually, to continue my work.
I didn’t realize you were old. :-)
I’ve read some docs have warned that those with health concerns are the very ones who should avoid these ‘vaccines’. But....if work requires it...then that, sadly, is a different story.
Yes....hopefully, many will do/start to do extensive research.
Free choice is of utmost importance, regardless.
Personally....I don’t feel that any of them have been sufficiently time tested, nor warranted.
I do wish you the very best, of course!!
There is no avoiding it; no amount of masking (single, double, N95); no amount of "social distancing" anti-social isolation.
We will ALL get exposed..over and over.
MANY of us will “test positive”, mostly without symptoms.
SOME of us will be “symptomatic”, and a subset will be really sick.
And (unfortunately) a FEW of us will die.
I file this under the heading of "life is fatal"
To believe otherwise is delusional.
LOL!
Oh, I’m VERY old.
But I get around...
:-)
My mother-in law is 86. She had the vaccines. She is fine. Not even a hiccup.
My sister-in-law is 65. She had the vaccines. She is fine. Not even a fart.
My godmother is 83. She had the vaccines. Not even a burp.
I know at least 20 people who have had the vaccines and the reactions range from nothing to flu-like symptoms for up to 24 hours.
There will always be a small population that defies the odds and lives an early death, but for 99.99% of us, we will live to see another day.
So, is COVD19 essentially like the common Coronavirus Cold virus or a way different beast?
[We don’t get a common cold vaccine every year...]
What is up with that?
I think that the CCP/Uniparty fear factor has been successful, with many of these otherwise astute folks.
Sadly.
I pray the same thing....that they’ll be safe. We just don’t have the proven, long term studies to justify, imo.
And....my in-laws were some of the first in line. Many of the elderly believe (falsely, as we’ve now seen) that this Mircale Vax™ will prevent them from getting /dying from the dreaded China flu, allow them back to their ‘normal’ lives of meeting with friends, dining out, seeing family at weddings/family events, etc.
Only.....Dr FraudXi, and cases like this article, have put a stop to that nonsensical thinking.
I pray, daily, for their/these experimental agents safety.
I know about 20 people who have had the mRNA vaccine to date.
One felt flu-y for a couple of days, and one other had some arm pain for a while.
All the rest appear to be fine.
It’s probably going to evolve into being more like the seasonal ‘flu.
