Editor’s Note: We are not opposed to vaccines. They have done much good. But there are risks and this article describes them masterfully, especially in regards to those for COVID. There are varying definitions of what a “vaccine ” is and we are not sure these even meet the more rigorous definitions. Modifying RNA for immunity is an ingenious idea, but we don’t know if it was done right and if all the ramifications were considered. Certainly not thoroughly tested/questioned.

By Christian Elliot
A few friends have asked my thoughts on the covid jab(s) so I thought it was time to write an article on the topic.
All my friends had not heard most of the details I shared, so I figured you might appreciate hearing some of what I told them.
Knowing how contentious this issue is, part of me would rather just write about something else, but I feel like the discussion/news is so one-sided that I should speak up.
As I always strive to do, I promise to do my best to be level-headed and non-hysterical.
I’m not here to pick a fight with anyone, just to walk you through some of what I’ve read, my lingering questions, and explain why I can’t make sense of these covid vaccines.
THREE GROUND RULES FOR DISCUSSION
If you care to engage on this topic with me, excellent.
Here are the rules…
I am more than happy to correspond with you if…
-
You are respectful and treat me the way you would want to be treated.
-
You ask genuinely thoughtful questions about what makes sense to you.
-
You make your points using sound logic and don’t hide behind links or the word “science.”
If you do respond, and you break any of those rules, your comments will be ignored/deleted.
With that out of the way, let me say this…
I don’t know everything, but so far no one has been able to answer the objections below.
So here are the reasons I’m opting out of the covid vaccine.
#1: VACCINE MAKERS ARE IMMUNE FROM LIABILITY
The only industry in the world that bears no liability for injuries or deaths resulting from their products, are vaccine makers.
First established in 1986 with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, and reinforced by the PREP Act, vaccine makers cannot be sued, even if they are shown to be negligent.
The covid-vaccine makers are allowed to create a one-size-fits-all product, with no testing on sub-populations (i.e. people with specific health conditions), and yet they are unwilling to accept any responsibility for any adverse events or deaths their products cause.
If a company is not willing to stand behind their product as safe, especially one they rushed to market and skipped animal trials on, I am not willing to take a chance on their product.
No liability. No trust.
Here’s why…
#2: THE CHECKERED PAST OF THE VACCINE COMPANIES
The four major companies who are making these covid vaccines are/have either:
-
Never brought a vaccine to market before covid (Moderna and Johnson & Johnson).
-
Are serial felons (Pfizer, and Astra Zeneca).
-
Are both (Johnson & Johnson).
Moderna had been trying to “Modernize our RNA” (thus the company name)–for years, but had never successfully brought ANY product to market–how nice for them to get a major cash infusion from the government to keep trying.
In fact, all major vaccine makers (save Moderna) have paid out tens of billions of dollars in damages for other products they brought to market when they knew those products would cause injuries and death–see Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex, Thalidomide, and Opioids as a few examples.
If drug companies willfully choose to put harmful products in the market, when they can be sued, why would we trust any product where they have NO liability?
In case it hasn’t sunk in, let me reiterate…3 of the 4 covid vaccine makers have been sued for products they brought to market even though they knew injuries and deaths would result.
-
Johnson & Johnson has lost major lawsuits in 1995, 1996, 2001, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2019 (For what it’s worth, J&J’s vaccine also contains tissues from aborted fetal cells, perhaps a topic for another discussion)
-
Pfizer has the distinction of the biggest criminal payout in history. They have lost so many lawsuits it’s hard to count. You can check out their rap sheet here. Maybe that’s why they are demanding that countries where they don’t have liability protection put up collateral to cover vaccine-injury lawsuits.
-
Astra Zeneca has similarly lost so many lawsuits it’s hard to count. Here’s one. Here’s another…you get the point. And in case you missed it, the company had their covid vaccine suspended in at least 18 countries over concerns of blood clots, and they completely botched their meeting with the FDA with numbers from their study that didn’t match.
-
Oh, and apparently J&J (whose vaccine is approved for “Emergency Use” in the US) and Astrazenca (whose vaccine is not approved for “Emergency Use” in the US), had a little mix up in their ingredients…in 15 million doses. Oops.
Let me reiterate this point:
Given the free pass from liability, and the checkered past of these companies, why would we assume that all their vaccines are safe and made completely above board?
Where else in life would we trust someone with that kind of reputation?
To me that makes as much sense as expecting a remorseless, abusive, unfaithful lover to become a different person because a judge said deep down they are a good person.
No. I don’t trust them.
No liability. No trust.
Here’s another reason why I don’t trust them.
#3: THE UGLY HISTORY OF ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CORONAVIRUS VACCINES
There have been many attempts to make viral vaccines in the past that ended in utter failure, which is why we did not have a coronavirus vaccine in 2020.
In the 1960’s, scientists attempted to make an RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccine for infants.
In that study, they skipped animal trials because they weren’t necessary back then.
In the end, the vaccinated infants got much sicker than the unvaccinated infants when exposed to the virus in nature, with 80% of the vaccinated infants requiring hospitalization, and two of them died.
After 2000, scientists made many attempts to create coronavirus vaccines.
For the past 20 years, all ended in failure because the animals in the clinical trials got very sick and many died, just like the children in the 1960’s.
You can read a summary of this history/science here.
Or if you want to read the individual studies you can check out these links:
-
In 2004 attempted vaccine produced hepatitis in ferrets
-
In 2005 mice and civets became sick and more susceptible to coronaviruses after being vaccinated
-
In 2012 the ferrets became sick and died. And in this study mice and ferrets developed lung disease.
-
In 2016 this study also produce lung disease in mice.
The typical pattern in the studies mentioned above is that the children and the animals produced beautiful antibody responses after being vaccinated.
The manufacturers thought they hit the jackpot.
The problem came when the children and animals were exposed to the wild version of the virus.
When that happened, an unexplained phenomenon called Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) also known as Vaccine Enhanced Disease (VED) occurred where the immune system produced a “cytokine storm” (i.e. overwhelmingly attacked the body), and the children/animals died.
Here’s the lingering issue…
The vaccine makers have no data to suggest their rushed vaccines have overcome that problem.
In other words, never before has any attempt to make a coronavirus vaccine been successful, nor has the gene-therapy technology that is mRNA “vaccines” been safely brought to market, but hey, since they had billions of dollars in government funding, I’m sure they figured that out.
Except they don’t know if they have…
#4: THE “DATA GAPS” SUBMITTED TO THE FDA BY THE VACCINE MAKERS
When vaccine makers submitted their papers to the FDA for the Emergency Use Authorization (Note: An EUA is not the same as a full FDA approval), among the many “Data Gaps” they reported was that they have nothing in their trials to suggest they overcame that pesky problem of Vaccine Enhanced Disease.
They simply don’t know–i.e. they have no idea if the vaccines they’ve made will also produce the same cytokine storm (and deaths) as previous attempts at such products.
As Joseph Mercola points out…
“Previous attempts to develop an mRNA-based drug using lipid nanoparticles failed and had to be abandoned because when the dose was too low, the drug had no effect, and when dosed too high, the drug became too toxic. An obvious question is: What has changed that now makes this technology safe enough for mass use?”
If that’s not alarming enough, here are other gaps in the data–i.e. there is no data to suggest safety or efficacy regarding:
-
Anyone younger than age 18 or older than age 55
-
Pregnant or lactating mothers
-
Auto-immune conditions
-
Immunocompromised individuals
-
No data on transmission of covid
-
No data on preventing mortality from covid
-
No data on duration of protection from covid
Hard to believe right?
In case you think I’m making this up, or want to see the actual documents sent to the FDA by Pfizer and Moderna for their Emergency Use Authorization, you can check out this, or this respectively. The data gaps can be found starting with page 46 and 48 respectively.
For now let’s turn our eyes to the raw data the vaccine makers used to submit for emergency use authorization.
#5: NO ACCESS TO THE RAW DATA FROM THE TRIALS
Would you like to see the raw data that produced the “90% and 95% effective” claims touted in the news?
Me too…
But they won’t let us see that data.
As pointed out in the BMJ, something about the Pfizer and Moderna efficacy claims smells really funny.
There were “3,410 total cases of suspected, but unconfirmed covid-19 in the overall study population, 1,594 occurred in the vaccine group vs. 1,816 in the placebo group.”
Wait…what?
Did they fail to do science in their scientific study by not verifying a major variable?
Could they not test those “suspected but unconfirmed” cases to find out if they had covid?
Apparently not.
Why not test all 3,410 participants for the sake of accuracy?
Can we only guess they didn’t test because it would mess up their “90-95% effective” claims?
Where’s the FDA?
Would it not be prudent for the FDA, to expect (demand) that the vaccine makers test people who have “covid-like symptoms,” and release their raw data so outside, third-parties could examine how the manufacturers justified the numbers?
I mean it’s only every citizen of the world we’re trying to get to take these experimental products…
Why did the FDA not require that? Isn’t that the entire purpose of the FDA anyway?
Good question.
Foxes guarding the hen house?
Seems like it.
No liability. No trust.
#6: NO LONG-TERM SAFETY TESTING
Obviously, with products that have only been on the market a few months, we have no long-term safety data.
In other words, we have no idea what this product will do in the body months or years from now–for ANY population.
Given all the risks above (risks that ALL pharmaceutical products have), would it not be prudent to wait to see if the worst-case scenarios have indeed been avoided?
Would it not make sense to want to fill those pesky “data gaps” before we try to give this to every man, woman, and child on the planet?
Well…that would make sense, but to have that data, they need to test it on people, which leads me to my next point…
#7: NO INFORMED CONSENT
What most who are taking the vaccine don’t know is that because these products are still in clinical trials, anyone who gets the shot is now part of the clinical trial.
They are part of the experiment.
Those (like me) who do not take it, are part of the control group.
Time will tell how this experiment works out.
But, you may be asking, if the vaccines are causing harm, wouldn’t we be seeing that all over the news?
Surely the FDA would step in and pause the distribution?
Well, if the adverse events reporting system was working, maybe things would be different.
#8: UNDER-REPORTING OF ADVERSE REACTIONS AND DEATH
According to a study done by Harvard (at the commission of our own government), less than 1% of all adverse reactions to vaccines are actually submitted to the National Vaccine Adverse Events Reports System (VAERS) – read page 6 at the link above.
While the problems with VAERS have not been fixed (as you can read about in this letter to the CDC), at the time of this writing VAERS reports over 2,200 deaths from the current covid vaccines, as well as close to 60,000 adverse reactions.
“VAERS data released today showed 50,861 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines, including 2,249 deaths and 7,726 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and March 26, 2021.”
And those numbers don’t include (what is currently) 578 cases of Bell’s Palsy.
If those numbers are still only 1% of the total adverse reactions (or .8 to 2% of what this study published recently in the JAMA found), you can do the math, but that equates to somewhere around 110,00 to 220,000 deaths from the vaccines to date, and a ridiculous number of adverse reactions.
Bet you didn’t see that on the news.
That death number would currently still be lower than the 424,000 deaths from medical errors that happen every year (which you probably also don’t hear about), but we are not even six months into the rollout of these vaccines yet.
If you want a deeper dive into the problems with the VAERS reporting system, you can check this out, or check this out.
But then there’s my next point, which could be argued makes these covid vaccines seem pointless…
#9: THE VACCINES DO NOT STOP TRANSMISSION OR INFECTION
Wait, what?
Aren’t these vaccines supposed to be what we’ve been waiting for to “go back to normal”?
Nope.
Why do you think we’re getting all these conflicting messages about needing to practice social distancing and wear masks AFTER we get a vaccine?
The reason is because these vaccines were never designed to stop transmission OR infection.
If you don’t believe me, I refer you again to the papers submitted to the FDA I linked to above.
The primary endpoint (what the vaccines are meant to accomplish) is to lower your symptoms.
Sounds like just about every other drug on the market right?
That’s it…lowering your symptoms is the big payoff we’ve been waiting for.
Does that seem completely pointless to anyone but me?
-
It can’t stop us from spreading the virus.
-
It can’t stop the virus from infecting us once we have it.
-
To get the vaccine is to accept all the risk of these experimental products and the best it might do is lower symptoms?
Heck, there are plenty of other things I can do to lower my symptoms that don’t involve taking what appears to be a really risky product.
Now for the next logical question:
If we’re worried about asymptomatic spreaders, would the vaccine not make it more likely that we are creating asymptomatic spread?
If it indeed reduces symptoms, anyone who gets it might not even know they are sick and thus they are more likely to spread the virus, right?
For what it’s worth, I’ve heard many people say the side effects of the vaccine (especially the second dose) are worse than catching covid.
I can’t make sense of that either.
Take the risk.
Get no protection.
Suffer through the vaccine side-effects.
Keep wearing your mask and social distancing…
And continue to be able to spread the virus.
What?
It gets worse.
#10: PEOPLE ARE CATCHING COVID AFTER BEING FULLY VACCINATED
Talk about a bummer.
You get vaccinated and you still catch covid.
-
It’s happening in Washington State
-
It’s happening in New York
-
It’s happening in Michigan
-
It’s happening in Hawaii
-
It’s happening in several other states too.
-
It happened to 80% of 35 nuns who got the vaccine in Kentucky. Two of them died by the way.
In reality, this phenomenon is probably happening everywhere, but those are the ones making the news now.
Given the reasons above (and what’s below), maybe this doesn’t surprise you, but bummer if you thought the vaccine was a shield to keep you safe.
It’s not.
That was never the point.
If 66% of healthcare workers in L.A. are going to delay or skip the vaccine…maybe they aren’t wowed by the rushed science either.
Maybe they are watching the shady way deaths and cases are being reported…
#11: THE OVERALL DEATH RATE FROM COVID
According to the CDC’s own numbers, covid has a 99.74% survival rate.
Why would I take a risk on a product, that doesn’t stop infection or transmission, to help me overcome a cold that has a .26% chance of killing me–actually in my age range is has about a .1% chance of killing me (and .01% chance of killing my kids), but let’s not split hairs here.
With a bar (death rate) that low, we will be in lockdown every year…i.e. forever.
But wait, what about the 500,000 plus deaths, that’s alarming right?
I’m glad you asked.
#12: THE BLOATED COVID DEATH NUMBERS
Something smells really funny about this one.
Never before in the history of death certificates has our own government changed how deaths are reported.
Why now, are we reporting everyone who dies with covid in their body, as having died of covid, rather than the co-morbidities that actually took their life?
Until covid, all coronaviruses (common colds) were never listed as the primary cause of death when someone died of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, auto-immune conditions, or any other major co-morbidity.
The disease was listed as the cause of death, and a confounding factor like flu or pneumonia was listed on a separate line.
To bloat the number even more, both the W.H.O. and the C.D.C. changed their guidelines such that those who are suspected or probable (but were never confirmed) of having died of covid, are also included in the death numbers.
Seriously?
If we are going to do that then should we not go back and change the numbers of all past cold and flu seasons so we can compare apples to apples when it comes to death rates?
According to the CDCs own numbers, (scroll down to the section “Comorbidities and other conditions”) only 6% of the deaths being attributed to covid are instances where covid seems to be the only issue at hand.
In other words, reduce the death numbers you see on the news by 94% and you have what is likely the real numbers of deaths from just covid.
Even if the former CDC director is correct and covid-19 was a lab-enhanced virus (see Reason #14 below), a .26% death rate is still in line with the viral death rate that circles the planet ever year.
Then there’s this Fauci guy.
I’d really love to trust him, but besides the fact that he hasn’t treated one covid patient…you should probably know…
#13: FAUCI AND SIX OTHERS AT NIAID OWN PATENTS IN THE MODERNA VACCINE
Thanks to the Bayh-Dole Act, government workers are allowed to file patents on any research they do using tax payer funding.
Tony Fauci owns over 1,000 patents (see this video for more details), including patents being used on the Moderna vaccine…which he approved government funding for.
In fact, the NIH (which NIAID is part of) claims joint ownership of Moderna’s vaccine.
Does anyone else see this as a MAJOR conflict of interest, or criminal even?
I say criminal because there’s also this pesky problem that makes me even more distrustful of Fauci, NIAD, and the NIH in general.
#14: FAUCI IS ON THE HOT SEAT FOR ILLEGAL GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH
What is “Gain-of-Function” research?
It’s where scientists attempt to make viruses gain functions–i.e. make them more transmissible and deadlier.
Sounds at least a touch unethical, right?
How could that possibly be helpful?
Our government agreed, and banned the practice.
So what did the Fauci-led NIAID do?
They pivoted and outsourced the gain-of-function research (in coronaviruses no less) to China–to the tune of a $600K grant.
You can see more details, including the important timeline of these events in this fantastically well-researched documentary.
Mr. Fauci, you have some explaining to do…and I hope the cameras are recording when you have to defend your actions.
For now, let’s turn our attention back to the virus…
#15: THE VIRUS CONTINUES TO MUTATE
Not only does the virus (like all viruses) continue to mutate, but according to world-renowned vaccine developer Geert Vanden Bossche (who you’ll meet below if you don’t know him) it’s mutating about every 10 hours.
How in the world are we going to keep creating vaccines to keep up with that level of mutation?
We’re not.
Might that also explain why fully vaccinated people are continuing to catch covid?
Why, given that natural immunity has never ultimately failed humanity, do we suddenly not trust it?
Why, if I ask questions like the above, or post links like what you find above, will my thoughts be deleted from all major social media platforms?
That brings me to the next troubling problem I have with these vaccines.
#16: CENSORSHIP…AND THE COMPLETE ABSENCE OF SCIENTIFIC DEBATE
I can’t help but get snarky here, so humor me.
How did you enjoy all those nationally and globally-televised, robust debates put on by public health officials, and broadcast simultaneously on every major news station?
Wasn’t it great hearing from the best minds in medicine, virology, epidemiology, economics, and vaccinology from all over the world as they vigorously and respectfully debated things like:
-
Lockdowns
-
Mask wearing
-
Social-distancing
-
Vaccine efficacy and safety trials
-
How to screen for susceptibility to vaccine injury
-
Therapeutics, (i.e. non-vaccine treatment options)
Wasn’t it great seeing public health officials (who never treated anyone with covid) have their “science” questioned.
Wasn’t it great seeing the FDA panel publicly grill the vaccine makers in prime time as they stood in the hot-seat of tough questions about products of which they have no liability?
Oh, wait…you didn’t see those debates?
No, you didn’t…because they never happened.
What happened instead was heavy-handed censorship of all but one narrative.
Ironically, Mark Zuckerberg can question vaccine safety, but I can’t?
Hypocrite?
When did the first amendment become a suggestion?
It’s the FIRST amendment Mark–the one our founders thought was most important.
With so much at stake, why are we fed only one narrative…shouldn’t many perspectives be heard and professionally debated?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SCIENCE?
What has happened to the scientific method of always challenging our assumptions?
What happened to lively debate in this country, or at least in Western society?
Why did anyone who disagrees with the WHO, or the CDC get censored so heavily?
Is the science of public health a religion now, or is science supposed to be about debate?
If someone says “the science is settled” that’s how I know I’m dealing with someone who is closed minded.
By definition science (especially biological science) is never settled.
If it was, it would be dogma, not science.
OK, before I get too worked up, let me say this…
I WANT TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN
I really do.
If lockdowns work, I want to do my part and stay home.
If masks work, I want to wear them.
If social distancing is effective, I want to comply.
But, if there is evidence they don’t (masks for example), I want to hear that evidence too.
If highly-credentialed scientists have different opinions, I want to know what they think.
I want a chance to hear their arguments and make up my own mind.
I don’t think I’m the smartest person in the world, but I think I can think.
Maybe I’m weird, but if someone is censored, then I REALLY want to hear what they think.
Don’t you?
To all my friends who don’t have a problem with censorship, will you have the same opinion when what you think is censored?
Is censorship not the technique of dictators, tyrants, and greedy, power-hungry people?
Is it not a sign that those who are doing the censoring know it’s the only way they can win?
What if a man who spent his entire life developing vaccines was willing to put his entire reputation on the line and call on all global leaders to immediately stop the covid vaccines because of problems with the science?
What if he pleaded for an open-scientific debate on a global stage?
Would you want to hear what he has to say?
Would you want to see the debate he’s asking for?
#17: THE WORLD’S LEADING VACCINOLOGIST IS SOUNDING THE ALARM…
Here is what may be the biggest reason this covid vaccine doesn’t make sense to me.
When someone who is very pro-vaccine, who has spent his entire professional career overseeing the development of vaccines, is shouting from the mountaintops that we have a major problem, I think the man should be heard.
In case you missed it, and in case you care to watch it, here is Geert Vanden Bossche, explaining:
-
Why the covid vaccine may be putting so much pressure on the virus that we are accelerating it’s ability to mutate and become more deadly.
-
Why the covid vaccines may be creating vaccine-resistant viruses (similar to anti-biotic resistant bacteria).
-
Why, because of previous problems with Antibody Dependent Enhancement, we may be looking at a mass casualty event in the next few months/years.
If you want to see/read about a second, and longer, interview with Vanden Bossche, where he was asked some tough questions, you can check this out.
If half of what he says comes true, these vaccines could be the worst invention of all time.
If you don’t like his science, take it up with him.
I’m just the messenger.
But I can also speak to covid personally.
#18: I ALREADY HAD COVID
I didn’t enjoy it.
It was a nasty cold for two days:
-
Unrelenting butt/low-back aches
-
Very low energy.
-
Low-grade fever.
It was weird not being able to smell anything for a couple days.
A week later, coffee still tasted a little “off.”
But I survived.
Now it appears (as it always has) that I have beautiful, natural, life-long immunity…
…not something likely to wear off in a few months if I get the vaccine.
In my body, and my household, covid is over.
In fact, now that I’ve had it, there is evidence the covid vaccine might actually be more dangerous for me.
That is not a risk I’m willing to take.
IN SUMMARY
The above are just my reasons for not wanting the vaccine.
Maybe my reasons make sense to you, maybe they don’t.
Whatever does makes sense to you, hopefully we can still be friends.
I for one think there’s a lot more that we have in common than what separates us.
-
We all want to live in a world of freedom.
-
We all want to do our part to help others and to live well.
-
We all want the right to express our opinions without fearing we’ll be censored or viciously attacked.
-
We all deserve to have the access to the facts so we can make informed decisions.
Agree or disagree with me; I’ll treat you no differently.
You’re a human just as worthy of love and respect as anyone else.
For that I salute you, and I truly wish you all the best.
I hope you found this helpful.
If so, feel free to share.
If not, feel free to (kindly) let me know what didn’t make sense to you and I’d be happy to hear your thoughts too.
Stay curious and stay humble.
PS. If you think I studied this topic well, think about how much thought I would put into helping you with your health. Helping people with their health is what I do all day, every day.
PPS. Health can’t be injected, but it can be earned.

It’s been a couple of years, still waiting to die from my vaccination.
I’d love to see a follow up article as we’re almost 2 yrs past this one! Great read ty!
I am truly thankful to the owner of this web site who has shared this fantastic piece of writing at at this place.
You’re so awesome! I don’t believe I have read a single thing like that before. So great to find someone with some original thoughts on this topic. Really.. thank you for starting this up. This website is something that is needed on the internet, someone with a little originality!
Even the poster-child for right wing propaganda, Newsmax, is reporting the vaccines saved 20 MILLION lives in the first year alone. Read it yourself:
https://www.newsmax.com/amp/newsfront/covid/2022/06/23/id/1075852/
Go ahead and downvote Newsmax. Just remember it’s YOUR propaganda machine, not mine.
Thousands of doctors who are not part of a hospital system have been successfully treating Covid patients EARLY and saving thousands upon thousands of lives using readily available drugs with proven safety profiles that have been around for decades. Doctors were blocked by hospital protocols from utilizing these drugs and pharmacies would not prescribe. Blood on the hands of authorities that instituted these policies. No question a serious crime against humanity has taken place in this regard. No, instead we had to wait for the vaccines to save humanity (fun fact: EUA for the vax would not have been legally granted if there were other proven treatments….). Wow what a colossal let down the vaccines have been. They’re unnecessary for most people without comorbidities. Especially not needed for children with 75% seroprevalence even months ago before the shot was available for 5-11 year olds. Mortality from C was always heavily skewed toward the elderly, so they have likely benefited from vaccination over all. For all others, a personal risk benefit analysis needs to be done. Since pharma is not interested in such analyses, independent researchers are doing it based on the Phase 3 trail data (forced by lawsuit to be shared with the public) from the 2 main manufacturers. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X22010283?via%3Dihub
Conclusion: We found excess risk of serious AESIs to exceed the reduction in COVID-19 hospitalizations in both Pfizer and Moderna trials.
What ever happened to “First do no harm”?
Pfizer v Whistleblower lawsuit….
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/judge-evidence-pfizer-whistleblower-lawsuit/
Number of preventable deaths that could have been averted if all adults had gotten vaccinated: 318.981, with red states taking the brunt of the deaths, even though they had lower population.
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/13/1098071284/this-is-how-many-lives-could-have-been-saved-with-covid-vaccinations-in-each-sta
The real story here is the off patent lifesaving drugs that were vilified and blocked from use in hospital settings that could have saved millions of lives…and did save millions in Uttar Pradesh for instance where the government handed it out as part of a Covid kit. In truth the blame for millions of deaths belongs with Big Pharmas money making agenda which strangled all use of anything but ON patent drugs in treatment protocols.
Anti vaxers really be like “You’re just gonna listen to doctors who studied medicine for 10 years? Wow enjoy being a sheep, I’m gonna listen to a stay at home moms Facebook page cause I’m an independent thinker.
I’m curious if you bothered to read the document dump pfizer was forced to start releasing after they tried to hide it for 55 years. The ignorance of Branch Covidian cult scares me. You don’t care about facts OR science. CNN told you it was safe so you believe those who are making billions off an experiment that couldn’t even pass the animal testing phase because of the deaths. Wokeism is destroyingsociety
Am I an uneducated imbecile prone to conspiracy theory?
No. It’s the doctors who are wrong.
Says the uneducated imbecile prone to conspiracy theories.
Which doctors? You mean the only doctors that have been paid to pump propaganda? I urge you to stop trying to troll…and go actually read the document dump from pfizer. You were lied to.
The human brain is incredible. It’s capable of both engineering a life saving mRNA vaccine and deciding that anti-parasitic cattle paste is a better option. Just unbelievable range.
You mean the award winning break thru human medication thats been on market since 1970s? Why all the trolls again? Your propaganda machine must hate to have independent journalists actually report the facts.
Multiple tissues of the male genital tract can be infected with SARS-CoV-2, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study in large animal models. The study, in SARS-CoV-2 infected-rhesus macaques, revealed the prostate, vasculature of testicles, penis, and testicles were all infected with the virus.
But I’m told Nunzab had the final surgery of its sex change so doesn’t have to worry about testicle infections anymore. That’s why it doesn’t care how many times it gets COVID.
Research Germ Theory. Proven false. Vaccines are
predicated on Germ Theory being correct, but it’s not…
it has been scientifically proven to be false by the US
Government on Deer Island in a two-year trial.
R.B.Pearson 1921.
You can’t catch a germ or virus. Contagion is a myth
promoted by Hollywood movies and Big Pharma.
Vaccines are responsible for creating disease,
not preventing it.
The entire thing is a hoax, no deadly viruses, no
variants…just BS. Look at all they’ve achieved.
The entire thing is a computer simulation and
reshuffling of the deck regarding the seasonal
flu, which is also not contagious.
Event 201 John Hopkins
The ‘vaccine’ wasn’t invented for ‘Covid’,
Covid was invented for the vaccine.
In science, correlation is not causation.
The flu? We don’t catch the flu, we create it
inside by what we eat, drink breath, into
existence. When the cell can’t turn over, due
to toxicity, the body goes into a purge.
It’s a body detox when it becomes overloaded with toxins. It builds up every year, winter comes, and people’s vitamin D levels shrink and your body purges. You don’t catch the flu from somebody if you are healthy. Although you can catch the flu from somebody who was vaccinated with a flu shot, due to shedding. Every year, just prior to the impending “flu season,” the CDC and their acquiescent media pawns terrorize the American public with false claims regarding annual flu deaths.
The CDC boldly asserts that 36,000 people die every year from the flu. Such scare tactics are calculated to increase flu vaccine sales. However, according to the CDC’s own official records documented in National Vital Statistics Reports, only a few hundred people die from influenza (flu) on an average year. And many of these deaths occur in people with preexisting conditions, weakened immune systems, and the elderly.
The entire Covid19 pandemic is a hoax…they weaponized the seasonal flu and lied about everything.
Vaccines are bioweapons. Without them pediatricians wouldn’t have a job.
Check where the US ranks in infant mortality…you’ll be shocked.
Wow, there are people out there this stupid.
Stop telling me to do my “research”. Sane people use the internet to research the best price on underpants and the top recipe for mushroom risotto. You can’t research pandemics and virology on the internet to the point where you become a credible authority.
Bittersweet announcement but after an amazing 2 years as an infections disease expert I am moving on. I am now an expert on no-fly zones and Eastern European affairs. Excited to make the most of this new opportunity.

You know what rational, informed people would love to know?
How many jabbed haters of the so-smeared ‘unvaxxed’, who refuse to debate what is true with anyone, now regret the decision to have an experimental/unvetted
vaccinedrug injected into their bodies.Clear statistics of unvaxxed to vaccinated people for Ventura County: https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/
Note, as of March 2, 2022: The unvaxxed are a minority (238,180), but account for 245 deaths. Whereas the vaccinated (610,450) only account for 152 deaths.
This article and most of the comments are 6 mis old.I would love to know how many of the respondents who were against vaccination finally got the jab or got Covid
Got Covid in Jan 2020. And recovered with natural immunity. So I never bothered with ‘the jab’. A better question is, why was natural immunity never considered ?
If you live, natural immunity is great. However, close to a million people in the U.S. did not survive, so their natural immunity did not gain them much.
Got the killer covid in March of 2022. Felt like a stomach virus. How many pro-jabbers would put meth, lsd, heroin, or any outlawed drug in their body? I believe that I’ll be better off with my immunity than a drug pushers. And pushing is exactly what they did.
Thank you for this very informative article. I have been feeling much of the same but did not have all the research and eloquence to speak it. One question about your last point: I have heard that we do not actually know if one becomes immune to covid19 if they have had the virus. In fact, I know of 2 people who have gotten it twice. I imagine that also with all the variants coming out that if you had one form of covid you might be able to get another variant. I feel like your last point could do disservice to some of your other very valid points. Could you comment on this?
Down votes on this reasonable comment are…unreasonable…. since time (and Omicron) has shown Carla’s question was a good one. I also wondered about suggesting “life long immunity” since the science was far from conclusive. What now appears to be true with variants so far is that, like these substandard gene therapies, a previous infection mitigates severe disease quite well. Even the CDC has been forced to acknowledge this. Hoping that we could conquer a fast mutating virus with an always-outdated shot was always a false hope. Like the common cold, it appears this particular coronavirus will be here to stay. The good news is this is a treatable disease….as the FLCCC has been saying all along. In the meantime, lose weight, support your immune system and stop living in fear.
amazing article and truly grateful you spent the time writing this. It gives me hope people are waking up to the lies, the censorship, the negative side affects of this experimental jab, let’s keep our freedoms and constitutional rights alive! Love to all.

Thank You for your research, and great details. This is exactly what I have been thinking! To bad many people have lost their common sense! The only one that can stop all the Evil going on in this world is, Our Lord Jesus Christ! We all better get ready, because he is coming back soon! We all better get saved and repent to our Jesus! I just keep praying for the whole world! ✝️
Excellent article/commentary/facts/truth presented!!
I’m tired of trying to debate this issue.
I’ll ask a simple question, will this be you ? (taken from Fox news website article):
A Las Vegas dad dying of COVID-19 sent his fiancée the heartbreaking text, “I should have gotten the damn vaccine” just before he succumbed, according to new reports.
Michael Freedy, 39, had gone on vacation with fiancée Jessica du Preez and their children, ages 17, 10, 7, 6 and 17 months, in mid-July, KVVU reported.
Well will it? As Clint Eastwood would say, do you feel lucky? Well do you punk?
ROFL.
You anti-vaxxers kill me … but at least covid won’t. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
What, no response to this?
Hello?
Hello?
Calling all anti-vaxxers for a rebuttal.
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
ED WE ARE NO LONGER RESPONDING TO YOUR FEAR BASED TACTICS AND LIES WE WILL NO LONGER GIVE YOU OUR ENERGY AND INSTEAD SPEND IT ON KEEPING OURSELVES HEALTHY AND SPREADING TRUTH ABOUT THIS EXPERIMENTAL NON FDA APPROVED MRNA TECHNOLOGY – NOT A VACCINE
Ed; are you willing to declare a national emergency because of a virus that so far has killed 0.18 of a one percent of the US populace?
Well this comment didn’t age well. As of today, 3/4/22, total covid deaths in the U.S. is 955k
From the article above: “According to the CDCs own numbers, (scroll down to the section “Comorbidities and other conditions”) only 6% of the deaths being attributed to covid are instances where covid seems to be the only issue at hand. [my addition: Aka, dying with a positive covid test.]
In other words, reduce the death numbers you see on the news by 94% and you have what is likely the real numbers of deaths from just covid.”
I don’t doubt with hospital incentives in the tens of thousands of dollars for each covid death, the 6% figure may well be accurate. So 955K x 6% = 57,300. Divided by 2 years = 28,650. And that much lower number is still a shame when many many doctors have been trying to share their successful treatment protocols. Nobody had to die!! It really is a crime we have all been subjected to in so many different ways. Some died, some were fired, others were ostracized by friends and family etc etc. Divide and conquer remains a successful tool in the power playbook.
Fear mongering for the simple minded sheep, and a sheep you are.
Ed, always sad to hear of people passing..especially when they are regretful. I know two people who have died from covid despite having gotten two jabs of the covid vaccine (Chinese version as they are in Asia). So, I sincerely hope you do not get killed by Covid (or anything else untimely including variants of Covid and/or the vaccine). I also hope that there are no further adverse affects from the vaccine – there is no satisfaction in a situation like to this to be proven right.
Covid may not kill you, but; the vaccine probably will. It has genetic strains of HIV and who knows what else. People vaccinated for C19 are coming down with AIDS like symptoms and perishing….I’ll take my chances vaxx-free…. Afterall, there’s Ivermectin to the rescue–yes, I’ll take horse medicine if it’s gonna save my a55. On a separate note, the vaccine is touted as mrna “gene therapy” In layman’s terms, your rna/dna will be genetically manipulated. In 2013, the SCUS (supreme court of US) granted patents for genetically modified human genome technology. If vaxxed, you are now the proud carrier of this technology and thus are no longer considered human–you are now a “TransHuman,” which by the way exempts you of having any rights granted to norman humans–look it up. Furthermore, this technology is proprietary and thus you are now property of the creator of this mrna technology–Congratulations!
Would he have gotten covid even though he was vaccinated? Well, would he? Did he have any comorbidities that he may have died from? Did he? Do you believe everything journalists write and print in the news? Well, do you? How do you know this story is true? How do you know what the writer didn’t tell you? The media has made our entire country and government a reality TV show. Except there isn’t much reality in it. The author of this article gave reference to facts to support her thoughts. You didn’t. Why should I care what you think?
I typed the guy’s name into a search engine and it turned up all these articles on him and his death in just about copy-paste word for word reporting – all by different sites – all MSM (yes, I f’ing said that, go ahead and label me, but you’d be wrong and small brained). Anyway, the guy could be classed as obese or near obese. Was always at risk. Maybe he should have got the shot *shrug* but since it was probably the intubation that actually killed him, together with remdesivir and the drug cocktails they’re pumping into these people, his deathbed musings – if they really occurred (no trust, anymore) – are all too convenient to get the fear into people like you to rush off and expose yourself to something worse than the virus. I’m just glad the vax is killing off the people dumb enough to take it (and it factually is;) Are you still alive “ROFL”.
Sympathies with those forced into it and children.
I’m curious to see how many people who received these vaccinations took the time to read the waiver they signed before getting the shot and took it anyway?? Which is fine, it’s your voluntary consent and your right to do so. Just as long as people realized that the drug manufacturers have been given blanket immunity. This means people have waived all legal rights to
pursue damages if someone becomes severely ill or develops serious adverse side effects that are determined to be in direct correlation to the vaccine itself. Even if you die as a direct result. Yes, your life insurance company will be required to pay the death benefit, but that’s an ultimate price to have to pay for taking a drug that we were assured was going to be safe. You have no legal recourse against them or the federal government. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical companies are free to continue to make billions upon billions of dollars in profits while having no culpability whatsoever. Below in-part is a copy of what’s contained in the Inova Health System consent form:
“By signing this consent, I am agreeing that I understand that the vaccine may cause a severe allergic reaction which can include anaphylaxis (difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, a fast heartbeat, a rash all over the body, dizziness and/or weakness). I understand that these may not be all the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine as the vaccine is still being studied in clinical trials. I also understand that it is not possible to predict all possible side effects or complications which could be associated with the vaccine. I understand that the long-term side effects or complications of this vaccine are not known at this time.
I understand that the vaccination is being given by Inova Health System Foundation and its affiliates (collectively Inova). The owner and/or operator of this site, their affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents expressly disclaim any responsibility for the vaccination. My consent is given in light of this knowledge, and in consideration of Inova giving the COVID-19 vaccine. I, for myself and my heirs, administrators, trustees, executors, assigns and successors in interest do hereby agree to release and hold harmless Inova, its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, trustees, employees, volunteers and agents from and against any and all demands, damages, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities, claims, actions and cause of action (whether any of which is groundless or otherwise) of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs) by reason of or resulting, in any way, from any and all acts, accidents, events, occurrences, omissions and the like related to, or arising out of, directly or indirectly, my receipt of this COVID-19 vaccine.
Inova makes no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose regarding the vaccine or its effectiveness.”
Folks, I am a COVID survivor. I was in the hospital for over two months having a multitude of medical issues as a result. It was not a pleasant experience to say the least and it is something that I hope people will never have to experience if they have been fortunate enough thus far. One of the issues I’ve developed when I was hospitalized was cardiomyopathy. Whether or not the vaccine will exacerbate my condition is unknown by the medical professionals. Simply put, medical experts have no clue as to the long term effects the vaccines will have on people with various pre-existing conditions. This is not to say that people shouldn’t be taking the regular precautionary measures that we have all been used to for the past 18 months (like wearing masks, washing your hands, social distancing, etc.) until the vaccines are officially approved by the FDA. It also doesn’t mean people should be forced to take any type of vaccinations or medications that have not been fully vetted and approved, especially if there are underling conditions that could be worsened as a result.
Excellent article! Thank You for your courage. Everything you shared is in total alignment with how I feel. Keep up the great work. The truth will be revealed, sooner or later.
Outstanding article! Well researched. I actually had Covid at the end of 2019 when nobody realized it was in the country. I was very sick and was at the doctor 5 times in one month because of my cough. He said my lungs were horrible but I just had a nasty virus. I had every single symptom of covid and suffered for months afterwards with heart issues, hearing issues, and fatigue. Now we know it has been out since Sept 2019! I will not get a vaccine, because I, like you, have lifelong immunity. That does not stop people from treating me like a second class citizen because I will not take this dangerous injection. They are sheep led to the slaughter, in my opinion.
Considering almost 100% of what comes out from government and maybe a half a percent more from MSM I trust almost no sources about much of anything anymore except what God has given us in Scripture.
I sift and surf myriads of international data and “Experts” to glean any logical and factual data I can discern and even at that you are left with; is this true or what other aspect or faction of society or oligarchy wants us to hear.
However when the creators of this type of tech come out on record and warn it should be stopped and there are ramifications about shedding I have to say up front that regardless if you have a brain you will be asking yourself the question of whether you would buy even a Volkswagen or a Ford Escort that the manufacturer gives absolutely NO warranty for and you knew had a sweetheart deal that in the event of a defect or safety concern for life and/or limb, would you buy it?? Even if new it was only 20k.
Now you blindly accept an unknown, untested and suspect concoction made by the universally agreed upon greedy pharmaceutical industry whose motives are solely monetary WITH IMMUNITY from liability to inject a series of innoculations for something they don’t even have a picture of into your body and risking your life while leaving your family absolutely no recourse in the event of your death.
Now that makes perfect sense in today’s world of zombie brain dead morons that walk the planet….
Nuff said.
So, you are basically trying to Darwin yourself to death. Sorry to see you go. Your misinformation in this article is astounding, but it’s to your detriment, not mine. Wish you would have some common sense. It’s a waste of skin for you to go, but alas farewll.
I pray for you “bob”
You should pray for yourself. Bob is a lot smarter than you anti-vaxxers.
Not an anti-vaxxer. Have received vaccines for other things in past. Sorry this isn’t black and white and you can’t put people in boxes, sorry it isn’t that easy and there are many layers and shades of gray. This ISN’T a vaccine. it is MRNA technology that ISN’T Even approved. Do you do any research?
He’s of the opinion only his opinion matters and any opinion differing from what he believes deserves to be ridiculed and berated. This is the mindset of the open minded liberal…funny isn’t it?
Sir, I would love to hear your counterpoint to this article. This way we would have a true debate on what you see as misinformation. Otherwise you made a statement without factual evidence to dispute his assertions. As a reader I would love to have the discussion. No more name calling but an adult discussion.
I have been trying to publish articles contrary to “experts” ideologies, but papers and journals just say: No! Here is a shot one that you may like.
COVID 19: THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION J. A. S. Viera; Ph. D.*
Throughout these past eighteen months having Covid for breakfast, lunch and supper, I can’t but ask if we are in the right track?
The answer depends if you are in Group A (an “expert”, part of main stream media, a big pharma executive), or in group B (a damn illiterate anti-vaccination rebel).
Group A believe that there is a calamity out there; the worse human kind have ever confronted, direr than the bubonic plague. They are convinced that humanity will be decimated, unless every single soul is vaccinated.
Is that really the case?
By July 2021, the Percent of Covid Deaths to Total World Population was .05 and for the USA 0.18.
Well, if 0.5 of one percent of the word populace and 0.18 of one percent of the USA population have die “because” of the virus, it does not look like Armageddon!
Nonetheless, officials started confining people in cages; then came face masking, “social distance”, and finally vaccination.
Deliverance 1, 2 and 3, regardless of what experts are stressing, failed miserably. First, humans can’t be wearing mask 24/7 or pushed into cages forever. Besides, shielding nose and mouth is not enough. What about your eyes, hands, hair, ears and clothes? Social distance? If scientists are expecting people rambling with a device calculating distance from each other, they are hallucinating.
Of course, supporters of 1, 2 and 3 solutions will emphasize these measures have saved millions. How many millions are they talking about? How do they know? Your guess is as good as mine.
Inoculation to save us from those damn bloodthirsty microscopic vampires flying around our heads, is neither working as expected. We are seeing reports of people already vaccinated getting sick again; the so call multiple breakthrough cases.
“Experts” are saying that the quantity is not significant and that the majority shows minor or no symptoms at all.
That those re-infected shows minor or no symptoms, is not a valid argument in favor of vaccination. That is the actual experience of most people getting the virus; inoculated or not.
Second, how do they know that the quantity is not significant? Are they counting those who are breakthrough cases, but had decided to remain at home without reporting their conditions?
Even the CDC is now acknowledging that millions of vaccinated people will likely have a breakthrough infection. Just few days ago the head of the CDC stated that the coronavirus could be just a few mutations away from evading existing COVID-19 vaccines, and that fully vaccinated people may be spreading the Delta variant.
It seems that “experts” are somewhat alarmed that their vaccination approach is not working as swiftly as publicized. If breakthrough cases become widespread, they are going to be extremely embarrassed.
No wonder millions relying on logical deductions or speculative fears about a vaccine advanced in record time, suspicious it might alter their DNA (despite scientists’ assertions on the contrary), are rejecting inoculation.
Appears that people are not trusting scientists anymore. Maybe unknowingly following Aldous Huxley assertion that: “Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left”. Certainly, if people realized how little doctors know, they’d be very scared.
Now we are under pressure to get inoculated. And there is an idiotic controversy out there. Idiotic because if only 0.18 percent of our population have die from Covid19, there is no need for a second civil war.
That decimal point speaks more than a thousand words!
Still another question that need answer. Why the endless and ferocious propaganda to vaccinate everyone? Is it because officials really want to save us, or because Big Pharma?
Billions of vaccines have been manufactured. To sell those samples, the public must be vaccinated no matter what. Looks like everything boils down to who gets more of the pie $$$.
From my point of view, there is only one ultimate solution: Let Covid19 run its ordinary evolution. People would be infected; most with minor or not symptoms. A minority would require special attention. The vast majority would stay at home 2 or 3 weeks; then back to normal life with natural inbuilt herd immunity.
Just proposing a different approach that, as crazy as it may sound, could be the best enduring solution after all. By allowing the virus kill itself through its natural life circle, rather than shooting people with vaccines every six months, seems a more logical solution.
Many probably will call my proposal insane; and myself, an idiot. I suppose they have been programed by the system not to listen anything but orthodoxy.
