There were 31% higher deaths in the vax group in the "gold standard" Phase 3 clinical trials. How do we know that none of those deaths were caused by the vaccine? Because Pfizer said so. No evidence. Executive summary.. There were 31.2% higher deaths in the "gold standard" Pfizer Phase 3 clinical trials. There is only one way to know whether or not the vaccine caused any of the deaths in the 21 vaccinated patients who died: proper histopathology. Pfizer never did it and the FDA never asked for it. This was the biggest mistake in the pandemic and nobody...

A new paper from Germany posted on April 5, 2023 proves that the spike protein accumulates in the brain and causes death of brain cells (which would certainly explain a great deal of what we see around us). (click here) Key findings: “Our results revealed the accumulation of the spike protein in the skull marrow, brain meninges, and brain parenchyma.” “The injection of the spike protein alone caused cell death in the brain, highlighting a direct effect on brain tissue.” “we observed the presence of spike protein in the skull of deceased long after their COVID-19 infection, suggesting that the...

A former Seattle firefighter issued a stark public safety warning over the department's massive staffing shortage as it allegedly refuses to rehire those fired over the COVID vaccine mandate. Andy Pittman worked for the city of Seattle for more than six years before he was fired for refusing to take the vaccine. He joined "Fox & Friends First" to discuss how the shortage is impacting public safety in the Emerald City. "The city administration and Chief Scoggins are definitely gambling with the city's lives," Pittman told Ashley Strohmier on Tuesday. "It's been shown before that one to two units out...

A Utah State football player is recovering in the hospital after suffering “non-traumatic sudden cardiac arrest” during a spring practice session ... Josh Davis, a redshirt freshman wideout from California, collapsed on the field and was taken to Logan Regional Hospital before later being transported to McKay-Dee Hospital. He was said to be in critical condition but was upgraded to fair condition the following morning. According to the school, he was “taken off life-sustaining medical devices and is breathing on his own.” “Davis received initial critical treatment and was stabilized at Logan Regional Hospital before being transported to McKay-Dee Hospital,...

A 23-year-old pilot who suffered chest pains following her Covid injection says she has been diagnosed with two heart ailments and is no longer able to fly solo. Sierra Lund, a recreational pilot and top-conditioned athlete, told The Epoch Times that, just 18 hours after getting the jab, she felt intense pain in her chest. She was having trouble breathing. “Walking was a struggle,” she said. As a competitive athlete, Lund was in top condition when she received the injection. Neither she nor her relatives had any history of heart issues. “So Lund tried to shrug off her symptoms. They...

Fauci and Muriel Bowser, mayor of D.C., visit the neighborhood of Anacostia and go door-to-door, encouraging residents to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and combating vaccine hesistancy... Fauci reacts to one resident saying no to the vaccine: "It's so crazy. .. they're not doing it because they say they don't want to do it. They're Republicans. They don't like to be told what to do. And we got to break that, unpack that."

For her efforts to report injuries to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and to educate others in her hospital system on doing the same, Physician Assistant Deborah Conrad said she was labeled an anti-vaxxer and fired from her job. Today, the New York-based Conrad tells her story at medical freedom conferences throughout the country, the most recent being one in Mississippi where physicians, scientists, and the vaccine injured warned state lawmakers to pull the COVID-19 vaccines from the market. Conrad told The Epoch Times she began to see early danger signals in 2021 upon the vaccine rollout, and...

Mortality rates among American children and adolescents rose by almost 20 percent in just two years, with non-COVID injuries being a top reason for increased deaths. Between 2019 and 2020, all-cause mortality rates for Americans in the age group of 1 to 19 years jumped by 10.7 percent, according to data collected and published by JAMA Network from the American Medical Association. This was followed by an 8.3 percent spike between 2020 and 2021. The total mortality rate in the two years between 2019 and 2021 was 19 percent—the biggest increase in at least 50 years. “These increases, the largest...

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials are aware of reports of long-lasting problems following COVID-19 vaccination, an official recently disclosed. “With respect to reports of people experiencing debilitating illnesses, we are aware of these reports of people experiencing long-lasting health problems following COVID vaccination,” Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, said on Jan. 26. “In some cases, the clinical presentation of people suffering these health problems is variable and no specific medical cause for the symptoms have been found,” Shimabukuro added. “We understand that illness is disruptive and stressful, especially under those circumstances....

Experts caught challenging dose interval, suggesting myocarditis risk, claiming young people at risk of severe infectionsAmerica's Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) has submitted a formal complaint to YouTube that statements by CDC officials on the CDC's YouTube channel violate YouTube’s COVID-19 medical misinformation policy that explicitly prohibits “Claims about COVID-19 vaccinations that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities or WHO [World Health Organization] … Claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine will cause death …”The complaint centers around statements by CDC officials during a CDC committee meeting, viewable on YouTube, that the risk of heart inflammation (myocarditis) following administration of the Moderna...

The Centers for Disease Control is considering changing the timeline for the administration of a second Moderna and Pfizer Wuhan coronavirus vaccine dose. The consideration comes after a rushed timeline caused heart inflammation in a number of patients. "Dr. Sara Oliver, an official at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said the agency was considering making the recommendation for Moderna (MRNA.O) and Pfizer (PFE.N)/BioNTech shots during a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a panel of outside advisers to the CDC," Reuters reports.Currently, the CDC recommends individuals receive their second dose of the Moderna and...

Finland has joined Sweden, Denmark and Norway in either banning or discouraging young adults or teens from getting the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, because of the increased risk of myocarditis — heart inflammation.Dr. Hanna Nohynek, chief physician at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, had told the media a decision was coming down Thursday. Finland's health authorities announced that men under 30 will not get the Moderna shot, and should get the Pfizer vaccine instead. Sweden banned Moderna for people under the age of 30, and Denmark did the same for people under 18. Instead of issuing a ban, Norway...

On September 9, President Joe Biden gave one of the most divisive and discordant speeches in modern American history. During the speech, Biden announced “the Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees, that together employ over 80 million workers, to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week.” First, Biden’s announcement of a federal vaccine mandate is in complete contradiction to what he said about nationwide vaccine mandates late last year. In December, Biden said, “No I don't think it should be...

U.S. public health officials claim cases of myocarditis and pericarditis following COVID vaccination are rare — but new research published online in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) shows they may happen more often than reported. Post-vaccine myocarditis and pericarditis also appear to represent two “distinct syndromes,” Dr. George Diaz, with the Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, told Medscape Cardiology.Diaz and colleagues reviewed 2,000,287 electronic medical records (EMR) of people who received at least one COVID vaccination.The records, obtained from 40 hospitals in Washington, Oregon, Montana and California, showed 20 people had vaccine-related myocarditis (1.0 per 100,000) and 37...

A new study published in JAMA shows 1 in 100,000 people had vaccine-related myocarditis and 1.8 in 100,000 people had pericarditis — compared to the CDC’s data that 4.8 people per 1 million suffer myocarditis after receiving a COVID vaccine. U.S. public health officials claim cases of myocarditis and pericarditis following COVID vaccination are rare — but new research published online in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) shows they may happen more often than reported. Post-vaccine myocarditis and pericarditis also appear to represent two “distinct syndromes,” Dr. George Diaz, with the Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, told Medscape...

Nearly 400 children between the ages of 12 and 17 were diagnosed with heart inflammation after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, according to a study published by the CDC on July 30. The condition, also known as myocarditis, occurred mostly in young boys, the study found. Heart inflammation was not identified as an adverse reaction during the safety trials for the vaccine. The CDC conducted the study by reviewing reports of adverse reactions to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) between Dec. 14, 2020, and July 16, 2021. Of the 8.9 million children who received the vaccine as of...

A new study of U.S. service members found higher than expected rates of heart inflammation following receipt of COVID-19 vaccines. It's a finding Defense Department researchers say should call attention to the condition, known as myocarditis, as a potential side effect of the immunizations.In an article published Tuesday in JAMA Cardiology, U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force physicians described 23 cases of myocarditis in previously healthy males who developed the condition within four days of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.Physicians would have expected to find eight or fewer cases of myocarditis among the 436,000 male military members who received two mRNA...

Myocarditis and pericarditis, which mysteriously skew young and male, can arise from an array of triggers, including bacteria and fungi as well as medications and autoimmune disease, but many cases go entirely unexplained. There’s no curative, or even standard, treatment for either condition; doctors try to manage symptoms and tamp down inflammation, said John Jarcho, a cardiovascular-medicine specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston. Cases related to vaccines are more puzzling still. Only a few immunizations have previously been linked to heart inflammation, among them the smallpox vaccine, which looks nothing like the jabs we’re doling out now. Researchers...

(ransomnote: h/t numberonepal)The CDC's COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group said Wednesday that there is a 'likely link' between rare heart inflammation and vaccinesThe announcement prompted the FDA to add a warning to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines The group noted vaccination with the Pfizer and Moderna shots in adolescents and young adults is notably higher after the second dose and in males So far, 484 cases have been reported out of 90.6 million doses, which means the risk occurs in 0.000534% of young adultsBoth Pfizer and Moderna say they have not identified an association with the heart inflammation cases...
