COVID-19 Cases & Deaths Skyrocket in Germany as Breakthrough Infections on the Rise

Although Germany is nearly 70% fully vaccinated—and the overwhelming majority of people 18 and up are immunized—the number of COVID-19 cases now skyrockets as a fourth wave sweeps through Germany and other parts of Europe. With vaccines that only last a few months before breakthrough infections are frequently happening, authorities now must factor in ongoing pandemic conditions, at least for the short run.

The Numbers

Germany has experienced a few surges of infections starting in March and April of 2020 and then a massive second surge between October 2020 and the end of 2020. A mass vaccination campaign went into full gear in the new year; however, by March 2021, cases started spiking again.

However, by May 2021, cases plummeted as undoubtedly, vaccination was helping along with several public health measures taken by health authorities led by German Health Minister Jens Spahn. By July 1, 2021, the average number of new cases (7-day average) was down to 578 per day, the lowest number of infections since earlier in 2020. However, infections started creeping upward in August, and by September 10, the 7-day average of new infections spiked to 10,858 per day. But again, with intensive vaccination, the general consensus was that the cases would be headed back down.

However, TrialSite has followed nation after nation that is heavily vaccinated yet still become subjected to intensive surges, from Israel and Iceland to Seychelles and Ireland to pockets in America. Breakthrough infections were on the rise as study after study indicated the vaccine effectiveness wanes after a few months, leading to higher transmissibility among even the vaccinated.

Now Germany finds itself headed back into a crisis. Cases skyrocketed on November 3 as 34,498 new cases were reported with a seven-day average of 19,907 according to data from the COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University.

Moreover, while the overall death rate is down due to a confluence of factors—including vaccination, more care options, and wiser public health measures—they are on the way back up. For example, by August 15, the number of new deaths reported nationwide in this country of over 80 million was 4 for the day and 12 on a seven-day average. That rate exploded to 165 on November 3, or 101 on a seven-day average. A disturbing trend, to say the least.

Health Minister Jens Spahn said that the country was facing a “massive” pandemic, declaring to German media Bild that the unvaccinated were the problem. 

Not Just the Unvaccinated

But this just isn’t the case. German media such as DW reports that breakthrough cases are on a steady rise as thousands of inoculated people get sick.

Of course, this doesn’t mean the vaccines don’t work, but it does mean that A) they don’t provide 100% protection, and B) many studies now evidence that after a few months, the durability of the vaccines is in question. According to a recent national Swedish study, the Pfizer vaccine effectiveness wanes after month three, and by month six, the vaccine provides little protection from breakthrough infections. However, the vaccines may continue to provide more protection against more serious infection after month six. The point here is vaccination overall helps stop more severe disease and hospitalization. Still, months after the second dose, the durability comes into question—more breakthrough infections and transmission occur from the vaccinated to the vaccinated or the vaccinated to the unvaccinated as well as the unvaccinated to the vaccinated.

Chinese Defector Reveals COVID Origin Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked

Today, we continue our discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic and its origin with a fascinating guest who has been a leader exposing the corruption and fraud with respect to the origin of the virus. Li-Meng Yan is both an M.D. and Ph.D., with specific training in coronaviruses. She escaped from China's influence while in Hong Kong to the United States to warn us of what she believes is a massive cover-up.

Yan went to medical school, followed by a Ph.D. program in ophthalmology. The school where she got her Ph.D. was originally a military medical university, which helps explain some of her personal network. She has contacts in both civilian and military research laboratories and hospitals in mainland China.

After finishing her studies, she decided to pursue research. For two years, she worked in an ophthalmology lab in the University of Hong Kong, where she researched stem cells, drugs and artificial tissue development. She was then invited to join the lab of professor Malik Peiris.

Yan's husband had worked with him and Peiris was impressed with Yan's skillset. She jumped at the chance to learn more about emerging infectious diseases. She worked with Peiris for five years, until she escaped to the U.S. in April 2020.

"I worked on the influenza virus, universal influenza vaccine development, and then focused on the SARS-CoV-2 after the outbreak," she says.

SARS-CoV-2 Was Made in a Chinese Military Lab

At the end of December 2019, Yan's supervisor, Dr. Leo Poon, who is also an emerging infectious disease expert with the World Health Organization, assigned her to conduct a confidential investigation into a mysterious new pneumonia-like infection.

Colleagues and friends at universities and hospitals around China gave her information, which she forwarded to Peiris and Poon. They did not follow up on it, however, which she says "shows that they want [to] help China to cover it up."

In January 2020, Poon asked her to look into whether the raccoon dog, a civet cat-like animal, which was a host for the original SARS virus, might also be an intermediary host for SARS-CoV-2. Yan's research, however, was indicating that the virus did not come from nature. Poon warned her to keep silent or "you will be disappeared."

According to Yan, SARS-CoV-2 was made in a Chinese military lab. The Third Military Medical University in Chongqing, China, and the Research Institute for Medicine of Nanjing Command in Nanjing, had discovered a bat coronavirus called ZC45. The discovery of ZC45 was published in early 2018.

"If you compare this virus genome and the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome, you will realize [this is the] smoking gun," Yan says. She's convinced that ZC45 was used as a template and/or backbone to create SARS-CoV-2.

In mid-May 2020, shortly after she'd left Hong Kong, the journal Nature published a paper1 Yan had co-written, detailing the pathogenesis and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in golden hamsters. This experiment showed SARS-CoV-2 primarily spreads via aerosol.

In mid-September 2020, Yan published an open access paper2 on Zenodo, in which she and her two co-authors laid out the evidence and their theory for SARS-CoV-2 being manmade.

Almost immediately, four "reviewers" of her work denounced it as being an "opinion" piece that was "flawed" and not scientifically in line with currently accepted knowledge of the origin of the virus. One reviewer3 said, "The manuscript attempts to refute our current understanding of the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Briefly, the consensus is that SARS-CoV-2 is a zoonosis and originated in bats with perhaps an intermediate host before spilling over into humans."

A year later, in 2021, numerous indicators4,5 show that dismissing the lab leak hypothesis was premature and there is no "consensus" of a zoonosis origin.

Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by The Intercept6 also point directly to a lab origin, so much so that the WHO's director general, Tedros Ghebreyesus, called for a new investigation into it, writing in the October 13, 2021, edition of the journal Science,7 "A lab accident cannot be ruled out until there is sufficient evidence to do so and those results are openly shared."

The Escape From China

Initially, Yan had released information via an American YouTube blogger that was very popular in China. By the end of April 2020, a colleague warned Yan she was at risk of being "disappeared." That's when she decided to flee to the U.S. Luckily, she already had a valid visa. Her husband was deeply opposed to her leaving, as you might imagine. She explains:

"I didn't know it would happen like [it did]. From January to April [2020], I didn't tell him what I had done. I tried to protect him, because at that time, in Hong Kong, there were a lot of people fighting against government for democracy and freedom. They can get disappeared easily.

But if their family don't know what they have done, it's kind of safe for the family. That's why I tried to protect him. But when I heard that I need leave, I tried to bring him with me. He's not Chinese. He's from Sri Lanka. When I told him, he was outraged, which was really not like him. He warned me, saying 'We can go nowhere. They are everywhere. We can do nothing.'"

Her husband even threatened to have her killed if she left. The next two weeks were a dangerous time for Yan. Her husband kept her under surveillance, and she developed a sudden heart problem. The day before she left, she went for a checkup. She had a resting heart rate of 130, which is a sign of sinus tachycardia.

Yan suspects foul play, saying the Chinese government prefers to "disappear" people by making it look like a natural death. "Like this virus," she says. According to Yan, infections and heart attacks are common strategies used to get rid of dissenters. Yan also suspects her husband may have been helping them.

Fortunately, since entering the U.S., the attacks have been relegated to discrediting her and ruining her reputation. "For example, they created thousands of fake accounts on social media, using at least seven languages, to spread [lies about me] and attacks to discredit me," she says.

According to Yan, this has been verified by FireEye, a cybersecurity company that also does work for American intelligence agencies. Her family, who are in mainland China, friends and even alumni are also under strict surveillance by the Chinese government, she says.

Vindication

While the whole world denied the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 was manmade for over a year, in recent months, the truth has finally entered the mainstream. A number of reporters have wrestled with excuses, trying to justify or explain away their long-held denials.

"Last year in July, when I was first on Fox News, I told them the WHO and the CCP are corrupted and are in the cover-up together," Yan says. "At that time, it was a bombshell. Now, most people realize [the virus] is not from nature. That is a very good turning, and I keep helping other people to realize the evidence.

I explain to them the CCP's style and the evidence. Now, I see that even some mainstream media are starting to talk about the possibility of [it being a] bioweapon. I think it is very encouraging. Because people need to realize that China is using this virus together with their misinformation campaign and propaganda to attack all over the world."

Who's Running the Show?

While the Chinese military may be responsible for the physical creation of the virus, there's ample evidence showing the U.S. funded at least some of the research that resulted in this pandemic.

The flow of money from Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the EcoHealth Alliance run by Peter Daszak and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is well-documented. Ralph Baric, Ph.D., at the University of North Carolina has also conducted research that appears to have been applied to SARS-CoV-2.

The sequence of events is confusing, however, and it's unclear just who is the real string-puller in all of this. When asked what her take is, and who she believes might be running the show, Yan replies that even without American funding, China certainly would still have managed to create this virus.

"The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) … they are a giant octopus and they have tentacles. The brain is the CCP. Those scientists, especially the military scientists and coronavirus experts [such as] my previous supervisor, Dr. Malik Pieris, they are the ones that had the real evil ideas.

They enjoy it, and they want to command this knowledge ... Even China cannot use their tentacles … if they cannot use infiltration to get your money, they will still manage to get your technology and do it in China. That's the key point. The money from American taxpayers, it looks a lot. Yes, it's millions [of dollars]. However, compared to the money donated by the Chinese government, it's just a very small piece …

They developed this virus and other things in their unrestricted bioweapons program. They want to destroy Americans' economic and social order, destroy your civilization. [While the virus has attacked worldwide], they always list America as a primary enemy and the biggest problem.

So, when they show you this kind of propaganda, through TikTok and other social media [where Chinese citizens] tell you, 'Oh, in China we control the outcome and it's good, and we love our government.' American people will feel, 'Yeah, maybe we should give up our democracy and turn to try communism.' That's all they want to do."

Chinese Data Collection

Since the start of the pandemic, it's been near-impossible to determine how many Chinese have actually been affected. According to Yan, the CCP will only release data that benefits itself.

"Chinese people all know not to trust any data that comes from our government," she says. "They don't do statistics. They just sit there. Whatever data they want, they write it down. That's how they [produce] data."

According to Yan, the CCP has been using the converse strategy used in the U.S. and elsewhere. Rather than inflate case numbers, they've been suppressing them. One way they've been doing this is by delaying diagnosis, so deaths are not listed as COVID-19 deaths.

"It's totally opposite," she says. "For example, in America, once a person has been diagnosed with COVID, even if they later died of some other problem, they still will be [counted] as a COVID case.

But in China, they can use a ventilator to make the patient survive until the test comes out negative. They have thousands of ways to handle it. Importantly, they also gave early treatment, including hydroxychloroquine and other drugs."

According to Yan, military scientists in China have also filed a patent to use hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19. "That made them earn the top anti-COVID award by Chairman Xi last year," she says. Hydroxychloroquine is also sold over the counter in China, so it's easy to get a hold of. She believes part of the reason why the death toll in the U.S. has been so high is because hydroxychloroquine was suppressed and censored.

Is There a Connection Between the COVID Shots and the CCP?

The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly been capitalized upon by greedy drug companies, and the suppression of early treatment drugs appears to have been an intentional strategy to make the COVID shot — which is turning out to be extraordinarily hazardous to your health — the only alternative. How does the COVID "vaccine" tie into the theory that SARS-CoV-2 is a CCP bioweapon? Yan says:

"Definitely there is a clear connection between the vaccine and the CCP's strategies … Some people … try to explain that the vaccine will kill people, and therefore it is another bioweapon. But this is not an accurate reason. First China released the virus they developed in the military labs. This virus doesn't have a high death rate ... That's why I called it an unrestricted bioweapon. It looks like it's natural occurring.

Once you realize something is wrong, they use misinformation and denial to confuse you. So, when China released it — and China controls the scientific community to spread misinformation, and censored [information] to let people believe it's come from nature — what will people do?

They will think about drugs, the drugs they already have. The other way is a vaccine, because people are educated to accept a vaccine can end a pandemic.

In this case, useful drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are so cheap. How could they use this to earn huge profits? The CCP also had a lot of stock shares from Pfizer, Moderna and other big pharmaceutical companies. Check the money they put in … And then big pharmaceutical companies, they all say, 'OK, now we can use this chance to make money.'"

Clearly, many who support and push the COVID shot know full well that they're bound to cause health problems. Yan herself was asked to work on a COVID vaccine but she declined after looking into the available science. No coronavirus vaccine has ever been released, despite scientists working on it for two decades.

The reason? The vaccines cause too many injuries. They're lethal. Yan did not believe these problems could be overcome for SARS-CoV-2. Peiris himself discovered antibody-dependent enhancement during efforts to develop a vaccine against the original SARS virus. Still, when money is being thrown at scientists, they're usually not going to turn it down.

Once you support mandate for two doses, then you have to support for the booster, and then support 60 boosters, 199 boosters. It will be endless. And you'll be tied into this [social] credit system you built. ~ Li-Meng Yan

Vaccine Passports Will Usher in a Social Credit System

Of course, the COVID shots and the vaccine passports also fit into the CCP agenda by making the whole world accept and adopt the CCP's social control system. The vaccine passports are clearly designed to usher in a social credit system like they have in China. And with that, you get 24/7 digital surveillance and an unbelievable amount of control over every single person.

As explained by Yan, in China, the digital surveillance system is so advanced, if your phone GPS shows you were near an infected person, you are automatically ordered into isolation.

What's more, if parents or grandparents fail to get the COVID shot, the family's children are barred from school, even if they got the shot. Every aspect of life is linked together through this system, so a poor social credit score will also have financial ramifications, and will dictate if, where and how you're allowed to travel.

Yan points out that Americans, being unaware of the Chinese surveillance system, don't understand that by agreeing with vaccine mandates and passports, they are saying yes to a total surveillance system that will dictate their entire lives. They're also saying yes to being guinea pigs for an endless stream of questionable vaccines.

"Once you support mandate for two doses, then you have to support for the booster, and then support 60 boosters, 199 boosters. It [will be] endless," she says. "And you'll be tied into this [social] credit system you built."

China Wants World Dominance by 2035

According to Yan, China's goal is to achieve world dominance by 2035. With that aim in mind, they've spent decades developing unrestricted bioweapons. With COVID-19, they're well on their way.

"They want to use all this to overcome the world, and America is their primary enemy," Yan says. "So we have to stand up for the future, for our next generations. We cannot keep silent. This will be the last chance we have to fight against such communist evil plans, and to save all of us. And, most importantly, we have to all work together to stop the next pandemic or attack that comes out of China …

[Just look at] what's happening in Hong Kong now. In two years, from 2019 until now, China destroyed the systems of law, democracy and freedom in Hong Kong. They also enacted national security laws. Basically, they own your privacy. They own your freedom, and you are forced to listen to them.

There is no reason they can't do whatever [they want] to you. Basically, you are a slave living in a modern society. No doubt, once China overcomes America, it will be the same here, and maybe worse because they will have other technology at that time."

When asked what actions Yan believes we need to take to resist and derail this plan, she says:

"I want Americans to know that, first, adults should realize the evilness of Communism, Maoism, Marxism, no matter what name it changes to … And once you realize that, speak out about it, because they are using propaganda to brainwash people, to brainwash the kids.

Also, you must let your policymakers, legislators, know this. I'm a foreigner, but you are an American citizen. You can vote, so you must let them understand the importance and push them to do something. Don't believe the Chinese government and don't give any mercy to the CCP.

Also, you have to update your own system. Study the weakness in your whole system, [the weakness that allows them] to divide America. Once you do all these things, hold them accountable and don't let them do more. That's the end of the pandemic."

What You Need to Know About Comirnaty Analysis by Dr. Joseph MercolaFact Checked

In this interview, Dr. Meryl Nass, an internist specializing in toxicology, vaccine-induced illnesses and Gulf War illness, shares her insights into the dangers of the COVID jab, which received an emergency use authorization October 26, 2021, for children as young as 5.

We also discuss the conflicts of interest within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that seem to be behind this reckless decision, and how the agency pulled the wool over our eyes with its approval of Pfizer/BioNTech’s Comirnaty COVID injection.

Is the COVID Jab Approved or Not?

As explained by Nass:

“All of the COVID ‘vaccines,’ and most of the COVID treatment products, have not been [FDA] approved. Approved means licensed. All except one, which is the Pfizer vaccine for adults, age 16 and up, which got approved, i.e., licensed on August 23 [2021].

But every other vaccine, and for every other age group, including the boosters, have only been authorized under emergency use authorizations (EUAs). There's a critical difference [between licensing and EUA]. Once a drug is fully licensed, it is subject to liability.

If the company injures you with that product, you can sue them, unless it later gets put on the CDC’s childhood schedule or is recommended by the CDC [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] [during] pregnancy, in which case it obtains a different liability shield.

It then becomes part of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP, established under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act), and 75 cents from every dose of vaccine that is sold in the United States goes into a fund to pay for injuries that way.”

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act removed liability for all vaccines recommended by the CDC for children. Since 2016, they’ve also removed liability for vaccines given to pregnant women, a category that has become the latest “gold rush” for vaccines. Naturally, once a company is no longer liable for injuries, the profitability of the product in question increases dramatically.

Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program Is Nearly Useless

Products under emergency use have their own special government program for liability called the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). “It is a terrible program,” Nass says. CICP is an offshoot of the 2005 PREP Act.

“The PREP act enabled the CICP to be created by Congress,” Nass explains. “Congress has to allocate money for it. If you are injured by an emergency use product, you don't get any legal process. The companies have had all their liability waived. There is a single process that is administered through HHS [Health and Human Services].

Some employees there decide whether you deserve to be compensated or not. The maximum in damages you can obtain is about $370,000 if you're totally disabled or die, and the money is only to compensate you for lost wages or unpaid medical bills.”

So far, even though several hundred CICP claims have been filed for injuries resulting from the COVID shots, not a single claim has been paid out. This is important, because the statute of limitations is one year. “It's getting close to running out for people who were vaccinated early,” Nass says.

If you fail to apply in time, you lose the opportunity to get any compensation entirely. “Of course, in fact, it's really ‘an opportunity’ to apply and get nothing because almost nobody gets paid,” she says. At that point, you have no further recourse. There’s no appeals process to the judicial system.

“You can ask the HHS twice to compensate you, and if they say no, that's it,” Nass explains. “You can attempt to sue the company that made the product, if you're convinced it was improperly made, but the secretary of HHS has to give you the permission to sue.

You have to prove that there was willful misconduct and no one has ever reached that bar. So, there has never been a lawsuit under this. Anyway, that's what you're looking at. If you get the vaccine under EUA and are injured, you're on your own. People have no idea about this when they vaccinate themselves or their children.”

Why Were the Shots Mandated?

As you know by now, president Biden decided to mandate the COVID jab for most federal employees (but not all) and private companies with 100 employees or more. “We don't know why that is,” Nass says. It doesn't make sense, as large numbers of Americans have already recovered from COVID-19 and have durable, long-lasting immunity already.

As correctly noted by Nass, natural immunity is much stronger than what you can achieve from the injection, which only provides antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and wears off within a few months. The shots “may in fact permanently limit the kind of immune response you would make were you to be infected with COVID later,” Nass says.

For these reasons, there’s absolutely no good reason to vaccinate people who have recovered from the infection and several bad reasons. There’s evidence showing the shot can be more harmful for those with existing immunity.

“But for reasons best known to itself, the Biden administration feels so certain it needs to vaccinate everybody that it has used illegal means to tell employers they will lose federal contracts if they don't force their employees to be vaccinated immediately, and must fire them — if they're health care workers, for example, or government employees, or military — if they have not been vaccinated.

Obviously that is creating a great deal of chaos, particularly within the health care industry, particularly in my state, Maine, where these draconian rules have gone into effect and many fire department, police, EMTs, nurses and doctors can no longer work.

The one thing that was necessary to push mandates forward was for the government to be able to say it had a licensed product. Before the emergency use authorization was created in 2005, you had licensed drugs and you had experimental drugs and nothing else.

There was no gray area between them. Any use of a medication or vaccine that is not fully licensed is still experimental, despite the fact that a new category of drugs has been created with emergency use authorizations.

These are still experimental drugs, so under emergency use, you can't force people [to take them]. You have to offer them options and they have the right to refuse. Since that is part of the statute, the federal government can't get around it.

Therefore, attorneys in the Biden administration knew they could not legally impose mandates under an EUA, and so they demanded that FDA provide a COVID vaccine full approval, aka, an unrestricted license. This was believed to enable them to impose mandates.

They must have put pressure on the FDA, and FDA gave them what they wanted, which was a license for the Pfizer vaccine called Comirnaty on August 23 [2021].”

Comirnaty Approval Includes Important Caveats

In the documents released August 23, 2021, by the FDA, there were some interesting caveats. They said the Comirnaty vaccine is essentially equivalent to the EUA vaccine and the two vaccines may be used interchangeably. However, they pointed out that the two are legally distinct. Curiously, FDA didn't specify what these legal distinctions are.

“I concluded that the legal distinctions were the fact that under EUA, there was essentially no manufacturer liability, but once the vaccine got licensed, the manufacturer would be subject to liability claims unless and until the vaccine was placed on the childhood schedule or recommended in pregnancy, in which case it would then fall ... under the NVICP,” Nass says.

“Right now, Comirnaty is still not in that injury compensation program, and it's licensed, so it no longer falls under the CICP. So, it is in fact subject to liability if you get injured with a bottle that says Comirnaty on it. Of course, if you’re Pfizer, what do you want to do?

You don't want to make that licensed product available until several months have gone by and Comirnaty has been put into the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. So, Pfizer and FDA have not made the licensed product available yet.

What has happened instead, in the military, is the FDA has made a secret deal with the military and said, certain emergency use lots can be considered equivalent to the licensed vaccine, and [told military medical staff] which QR codes — which lots can be used. [These specific lots] can then be given to soldiers as if they're licensed.

Subsequently, we're told that military clinics are actually putting Comirnaty labels onto bottles that are under EUA. Now, that probably can happen in the military, but only in the military, because there are likely to be memoranda of understanding within the military that we haven't seen yet that say soldiers cannot sue Pfizer for injuries ...

In the military, the government and Pfizer feel like they have set up a situation where nobody can sue, but in the civilian world, that has not happened, and so there is no Comirnaty available.

Yet, on the basis that FDA licensed this product, the federal government is still telling employers that they can mandate it and that they must fire employees that have not taken the vaccine, or they will lose government contracts. We're in a very interesting situation that is ripe for litigation, and Children's Health Defense, which is an organization I represent, is litigating some of this.

However, the litigation situation has been very difficult since the pandemic began. Cases that normally would've been easy wins are being thrown out by the courts, both in the U.S. and in Europe. Something strange has happened and the judges are looking for any way out, so they don't have to rule on the merits of these cases.”

The organization Children’s Health Defense has filed a lawsuit arguing you cannot have a vaccine that is both an emergency use product and a licensed product at the same time. That's against the law, but the federal government did it anyway. Remarkably, the request for an injunction was initially thrown out, but Children’s Health Defense hasn’t given up and is still pursuing that case.

COVID Jab Is Authorized for 5- to 11-Year-Olds in the US

As mentioned, the FDA recently authorized the EUA COVID jab for children between the ages of 5 and 11, which is simply appalling, considering they are at virtually no risk from COVID-19. I’ve not seen a single recorded case in the entire world of anyone in that age group dying of COVID that didn't have a serious preexisting comorbidity, such as cancer.

If you have a healthy child, they are at no risk from the infection, so there’s only danger associated with this shot, which in this age group would be one-third the adult dose. Typically, when you’re giving a drug to a child, the dose is calculated based on the child’s weight. Here, they’re giving the same dose to a 5-year-old as an 11-year-old, despite there being a significant difference in weight. So, it’s pure guesswork.

Worse yet, the mRNA vaccines produce an unpredictable amount of spike protein, and even if they produce much too much, there is no way to turn off the process once you have been injected.

Despite clear safety signals, the FDA’s advisory committee authorized the Pfizer jab for 5- to 11-year-olds unanimously, 17-to-0 (with one abstaining vote). However, when you look at the roster of the FDA’s committee members1 who reviewed and voted to authorize the Pfizer shot for children as young as 5, the unanimous “yes” vote becomes less of a mystery.

Abhorrent Conflicts of Interest

As reported by National File2 and The Defender,3 the membership of the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) has had staggering conflicts of interest. Members have included:

A former vice president of Pfizer Vaccines

A paid Pfizer consultant

A recent Pfizer research grant recipient

A mentor to Raphael Simon, senior director of vaccine research and development at Pfizer

James Hidreth — President of Meharry Medical College, which administers Pfizer vaccines

A chair of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee for the Pfizer Group B Streptococcus Vaccine Program

An individual proudly photographed taking a Pfizer vaccine

Several people who are already on the record supporting coronavirus vaccines for children, including Ofer Levy, Jay Portnoy and Melinda Wharton

In addition to that, former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb is currently on Pfizer’s board of directors. As noted by Nass, two of the members, one permanent and one temporary, are also CDC career employees whose job it is to push vaccines at the CDC.

“If they voted against authorizing a vaccine, they would be out of a job,” Nass says. “They have no business on that committee ... It's a very unethical stew of advisory committee members ...

What happened is Pfizer delivered a large package of information to the FDA on October 6, 2021. FDA staff had to go through this large packet of information on the 5- to 11-year-olds and produce their own report, which was about 40 pages long, and create talks to give to the advisory committee, and they did all of this in 17 days.

There was apparently very little critical thought that went into their presentations. Before the meeting, Children’s Health Defense, and I was one of the authors, wrote to the committee and to FDA officials saying, ‘Look, there's all these reasons that don't make logical or medical sense for vaccinating kids in this age group, because they almost never get very ill or die, and the side effects of the vaccine are essentially unknown.

We know there are a lot of side effects, but the federal government has concealed from us the rate at which these side effects occur. But we know that the rate from myocarditis is very high, probably at least 1 in 5,000 young males ... which is a very serious side effect. It can lead, probably always leads, to some scarring. It can lead to sudden death, to heart failure.”

Trials in Young Children Were Insufficient

As explained by Nass, in the clinical trial, there were two groups of children. The first group was enrolled for two to three months, while the second group was enrolled for just 17 days after receiving the second dose. (Pfizer added the second group because FDA claimed there weren’t enough volunteers in the first group.)

These two groups comprised over 3,000 children who got the jab and 1,500 or 2,000 who got a placebo. None suffered serious side effects. This was then translated into the claim that the injection was safe. However, as noted by Nass:

“They didn't look at safety in all these kids. Even though FDA had said, ‘Add kids to your clinical trial,’ Pfizer created a ‘safety subset’ of one-tenth of the vaccinated subjects.

It was this small number of kids from whom they drew blood to show they had adequate levels of neutralizing antibodies, which was a surrogate for efficacy, because they didn't have enough cases of COVID in this abbreviated trial to show that the vaccine actually works in this age group.”

Even though the advisory committee acknowledged that the blood test done for efficacy had not been validated, and wasn't reliable evidence of effectiveness, they still decided that all children, regardless of health status, would benefit from the injection.

They also ignored the fact that at least half the children are already immune, and giving them the injection will provide no additional benefit in terms of immunity, while putting them at increased risk for serious side effects.

“Nobody said, ‘Look, the parents of healthy kids may be dying for a vaccine, but that's because we haven't told them the truth about the vaccine. We haven't told them their kids don't need it. We haven't told them it's going to potentially damage future immunity.

We haven't told them they're at higher risk of side effects than if they never had COVID. We're not allowing them to go get antibody tests to establish that they're already immune and therefore should be waved from being vaccinated.’

The committee members were aware of all this stuff, but in the end [they voted yes] ... apart from one very smart member of the committee who works for the National Institutes of Health. He abstained. He didn't have the guts to vote no, but he knew this was a bad idea.”

Children Are Being Injected Without Parental Consent

While all of that is bad enough, parents of young children now face the possibility of their children being injected against their will and without their knowledge. Nass comments:

“As I said, we don't know why the government wants everybody vaccinated, but there's probably a reason that goes beyond protecting us from COVID.

The government got the FDA to authorize the vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds on May 10 [2021], and subsequently that group, which is about 6 million kids, has been getting vaccinated across the country. That's under emergency use so, again, you can't sue.

But something kind of evil happened, which was many cities began vaccinating 12- to 15-year-olds in the absence of parental permission. So, a child could show up with their friends or a friend's mother at a vaccine center and get vaccinated with no one asking about their medical history, nobody calling the parents. No notation got entered into the child’s medical record that they were vaccinated.

Vaccinators were told to make their own assessment. If they thought this child could give consent, go ahead and vaccinate. Now, that is a gross violation of our laws, and yet it was happening in Boston, in Philadelphia, in Seattle, in San Francisco, and we have good documentation of it.

The government currently is planning for mobile vaccination clinics for kids and vaccinations in schools, and they may take this program of vaccinating without parental consent down to the 5- to 11-year-olds ...

In fact, we may see clinics popping up that don't require informed consent in the 5- to 11-year-old group. Let me just mention that the chief medical officer in Canada's British Columbia said they have brought laws that allow children of any age to consent for themselves. Think about that. A baby can consent for vaccinations for itself. It would be funny if it wasn’t so diabolical.”

All of this goes against the most basic concept of medical ethics, which is informed consent. No one has the right to perform a medical procedure on you without your consent, or the consent of a legal guardian. The government, again, without establishing any new laws, is simply bypassing the legal system.

Will Young Children Be at Risk for Myocarditis?

Based on her review of the scientific literature, Nass suspects younger children in the now COVID jab-approved, 5- to 11-year-old age group will be at exponentially higher risk of myocarditis and other side effects compared to the 12- to 15-year group, where we’ve already seen a documented increase.

“In the letter that Children’s Health Defense wrote to the advisory committee for the FDA, we created a graph based on the reporting rate of myocarditis versus age, and we showed there was an exponential curve.

Men aged 65 and up had a rate that was 1/100th the rate of boys aged 12 to 17. If that exponential curve keeps going up, the rate in the 5- to 11-year-olds could be even dramatically higher. In those young men, a 1 in 5,000 rate was reported to VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System]. That's not a real rate.

That just tells us how many people got diagnosed with myocarditis, and then went to the trouble of reporting it to the FDA. The FDA and CDC have a large number of other databases from which they can gather rates of illness.

VAERS is considered passive reporting. It is not considered fit for purpose to establish illness rates because we don't know how many people report. Do 1 in 10 report, 1 in 100, 1 in 50? Nobody knows.

However, again, because everything is crazy since the pandemic came in, the CDC has tried to pull the wool over our eyes and has claimed that the rate of anaphylaxis in the population from COVID vaccines is identical to their reporting rate to VAERS. We know that's not true.

On the CDC’s website, that's what they have. Elsewhere on the website, they say you can't take a VAERS rate and call it an actual rate of reactions, but they've done that [for anaphylaxis]. And they're trying to obfuscate the fact that they're not giving you real rates, and sort of pretending that the myocarditis rate is probably the VAERS reporting rate of myocarditis, although they're not saying so directly.”

Nass goes on to recount an example from the smallpox vaccine, which also caused myocarditis. A military study that just looked at cases sent to specialists found roughly 1 in 15,000 developed myocarditis. A military immunologist then dug deeper, and drew blood on soldiers before and after vaccination, and found a myocarditis rate of 1 in 220 after receiving the smallpox vaccine.

However, 1 soldier in 30 developed subclinical myocarditis where troponin rose from normal to more than two times the upper limits of normal. While asymptomatic, 1 in 30 had measurable inflammation of the heart. “Right now, in terms of what the rate is for COVID, nobody is looking, no federal agency wants to find out the real rate,” Nass says.

You Can’t Find Problems You Refuse to Look For

A simple study that measures troponin levels — a marker for heart inflammation and damage — before and after each dose, could easily determine what the real rate of myocarditis is, yet that is not being done.

“This is what we're dealing with,” Nass says. “All these databases, which is about a dozen different databases, that CDC and FDA said they could access to determine the rates of side effects after vaccination with COVID vaccines, they're either not being used or being used improperly,” Nass says.

“It was discovered that a new algorithm was being used to study the VAERS database that only came into use in January 2021, immediately after the vaccines were authorized, and the algorithm was developed such that you compare two vaccines to each other.

If the pattern of side effects was similar between the two vaccines — which is often the case because there's a limited number of general vaccine adverse reactions — even if one vaccine has a thousand times more side effects as the one it is being compared to, by using this flawed algorithm, if the pattern of reactions was the same, even though the rates were 1,000 times higher for one, the algorithm would fail to detect a problem.

That is the algorithm they're using to analyze VAERS [data]. They're also using bad methods ... to analyze the vaccine safety database, which encompasses 12 million Americans who enrolled in HMOs around the country. The CDC pays for access to their electronic medical records and their data.

Somehow when these databases have been looked at carefully, they're finding very low rates of myocarditis in boys, approximately equal to the VAERS reporting. It was said months ago, ‘We can't find a safety signal for myocarditis. We're not finding an anaphylaxis signal. we're not finding a Bell's palsy signal.’

The FDA’s and CDC’s algorithms couldn't pick up for most known side effects. So, there's something wrong with the analytic methods that are being used, but the agencies haven't told us precisely what they are. What we do know is that the rates of side effects that are being reported to VAERS are phenomenal.

They're orders of magnitude higher than for any previous vaccines used in the United States. An order of magnitude is 10-fold, so rates of reported adverse reactions are 10 to 100 times higher than what has been reported for any other vaccine. Reported deaths after COVID in the United States are 17,000+. It’s off the charts.

Other side effects reported after COVID vaccinations total over 800,000. Again, more deaths and more side effects than have ever been reported for every vaccine combined in use in the U.S. cumulatively over 30 years.”

Despite all this shocking data, our federal agencies look the other way, pretending as if nothing is happening, and no matter how many people approach them — with lawsuits, with public comments, reaching out to politicians — they refuse to address blatantly obvious concerns. This is clear evidence that they’re acting with intentional malice.

FDA has become Clown World, and what they do now is to perform a charade of all the normal regulatory processes that they are expected to perform ... You're the guinea pigs, but they're not collecting the data. Nobody should get these shots. ~ Dr. Meryl Nass

The FDA and CDC are supposed to protect the public. They're supposed to identify safety concerns. They're not supposed to act as marketing firms for drug companies, but that’s precisely what they've been converted to.

New Formulations Have Never Been Tested

Another truly egregious fact is that Pfizer has altered its formulation, allegedly to make it more stable, but this new formulation has never been included in any of the trials. Nass explains:

“During the October 26, 2021, VRBPAC [Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee] meeting, Pfizer said, ‘Look, we want to give the vaccines in doctor's offices and we've found a way to stabilize the vaccine so we don't need those ultra-cold fridges anymore. We can put these vials in a doctor's office and, once defrosted, they can sit in a regular fridge 10 weeks and they'll be fine.’

Some committee members asked, ‘OK, what'd you do? How did you make this marvelous discovery?’ And they said, ‘We went from the phosphate buffered saline buffer to a Tris buffer, and we slightly changed some electrolytes.’ A committee member asked, ‘OK, how did that make it so much more stable?’ And everybody in the meeting from FDA and Pfizer looked at each other and said, ‘We don't know.’

An hour later, Pfizer had one of their chemists get on the line, but he couldn't explain how the change in buffer led to a huge increase in stability, either. Then, later in the meeting, one of the members of the committee asked, ‘Did you use this new formulation in the clinical trial?’

And Dr. Bill Gruber, the lead Pfizer representative, said, ‘No, we didn't.’ In other words, Pfizer plans, with FDA connivance, to use an entirely new vaccine formulation in children, after their clinical trials used the old formulation. This is grossly illegal. They've got a new formulation of vaccine. It wasn't tested in humans. And they're about to use it on 28 million American kids.”

It's nothing short of a dystopian nightmare. Completely surreal. You can't make this stuff up. Yet as shocking as all this is, earlier this year, Dr. Anthony Fauci projected that these COVID jabs would be available for everyone, from infants to the elderly. Now they’ve got the 5-year-olds, and there’s every reason to suspect they’ll go after newborns and infants next.

Whose Babies Will Be Offered Up as Sacrificial Lambs?

According to Nass, Pfizer and the FDA have struck a deal that will allow Pfizer to test on babies even younger than 6 months old, even if there’s no intention to inject infants that young. Those trials may begin as early as the end of January 2022.

“This arrangement between FDA and Pfizer will give Pfizer its extra six months of patent protection, whether or not these vaccines are intended to be used in those age groups. So, you can look at these trials as a way of almost sacrificing little children, because when you start a trial, you don't know what the dangers are going to be.

I could be wrong, but I doubt we're going to give these to newborn babies the way we give the hepatitis B vaccine on the date of birth, yet they will be tested in very young babies. The question is, whose babies get tested? In the past, sometimes the babies that got tested were foster children, wards of the state. Sometimes parents offer up their children. But there will be clinical trials.”

When will we get the data from those trials? It turns out that in the agreements reached between Pfizer and the FDA, some of those trials won't conclude until 2024, 2025 and 2027. The goal here is to vaccinate all Americans, children and adults, within the coming few months or a year, yet it’ll be five years before we actually know from clinical trials what the side effects may be.

We’re Living in Clown World

As noted by Nass, this is yet another crime. It may fulfill the letter of the law, but it doesn’t fulfill the meaning of the law. It makes no sense to run clinical trials that won’t be completed until five years after your mass vaccination program has been completed and the entire population is injected.

“It's just a joke to do that,” Nass says. “But FDA has become Clown World, and what they do now is to perform a charade of all the normal regulatory processes that they are expected to do, but they're only doing them in an abbreviated or peculiar manner so that they don't really collect the important data.

For example, the control group has been vaccinated two months into the Pfizer trials, which effectively obscures side effects that develop after two months. Blood is not tested for evidence of myocarditis or blood clots using simple tests (troponin and D-dimer levels).

For all the Americans out there who haven't spent 20 years examining the FDA procedures like I have, these FDA advisory committee meetings are it's designed to make you think a real regulatory process is going on, when it’s not. Instead we are all guinea pigs, but no one is collecting the data that would normally be required to authorize or approve a vaccine. Therefore, in my opinion, nobody should get these shots.“

To make matters even worse, it's actually illegal to grant EUAs for these vaccines, because there are drugs that can prevent the condition (COVID), as well as treat it. EUAs can only be granted if there are no existing approved, available alternatives to prevent or treat the infection.

The effective drugs most have already heard of are ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, but there are a number of other drugs that also have profound effects on COVID, Nass says, including TriCor and cyproheptadine (Periactin).

TriCor, or fenofibrate, emulsifies lipid nanoparticles and fatty conglomerations that contain viruses and inflammatory substances. The drug essentially allows your body to break down the viral and inflammatory debris better. As such, it might also help combat complications caused by the nanoliposomes in the COVID shot.

According to Nass, Pepcid at high doses of up to 80 milligrams three times a day is also useful for treatment. Dr. Robert Malone is starting a clinical trial using a combination of Pepcid and celecoxib (brand name Celebrex). Many are also recommending aspirin to prevent platelet activation and clotting.

I believe a far better alternative to aspirin is lumbrokinase, and/or serapeptase. Both are fibrinolytic enzymes that address blood clotting. You can develop sensitivity to them, so I recommend alternating the two on alternate days for about three months if you’ve had COVID.

You could rule out blood clotting by doing a D-dimer test. If your D-dimer is normal, you don’t need an anticlotting agent. If clotting is a concern, you could also use NAC in addition to these fibrinolytic enzymes. It too helps break up clots and prevent clot formation.

To learn more, be sure to peruse MerylNassMD.com and anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com. She typically posts something every day to her blogspot blog. In closing, Nass concludes:

“Remember, all the COVID jabs are authorized [under EUA], not licensed. They're all legally, technically, experimental. I know you can lose your job and all these terrible things can happen if you refuse the vaccine, but if you are injured by the shot, you won’t be able to sue later. You will be on your own.

Legally, they can't force you to accept the vaccine while it is in EUA status because of the Nuremberg code, because of existing U.S. law about informed consent, and because of the actual statute on emergency use authorization, which says you have the right to refuse. They can't force you to take these [shots].

I know they are forcing you, but legally they can't, and please keep that in mind. Hopefully these wrongs will be redressed. Mandates are being walked back in many jurisdictions.

As I've told people, demand to see the bottle that says Comirnaty, because legally, they can force the licensed product on you, but there isn't any right now. So, you have an out for the next few months, hopefully.

They're really dangerous vaccines. What you don't know will hurt you. Please protect your children. If there's any way, don't get vaccinated. The more people who say no, the more the government is already backing down. In many cities, the imposed dates by which you have to be vaccinated have been pushed back.

Now Biden's administration is saying, ‘Well, it's not going to be carved in stone. We're going to negotiate with people because they don't want to lose 30% or 40% of their staff.’ So, be strong, protect yourself and your children. Know you're doing the right thing.

We've got a criminal organization running things now. This is a worldwide program of some kind designed to control us. Once we all figure it out, we can win. There's many, many more of us than there are of them.”

Molnupiravir: mutagenic, carcinogenic, authorized in the UK

The UK authorization of Molnupiravir for mild/moderate COVID-191 says a lot about the current COVID-19 derangement syndrome. Molnupiravir’s efficacy is marginal, but its mutagenicity and carcinogenicity are real. The tidbits of information published by the UK’s MHRA include bone marrow toxicity discovered in some early trials, something suggested earlier in an article2 on this site. Thus, Molnupiravir is likely to cause leukemia.

The re-analysis of the data in Merck’s press release from October3, suggests that the announced results show much lower efficacy than claimed, even without questioning the conduct of the trial and reporting. Merck’s failure to publish that data is alarming. Merck also failed to disclose the outcomes from patients who were recruited after the cut-off date for the intermediate review. 

The UK authorization also reveals that the population in Merck’s trial was younger and less at risk than the general population. When treated with Molnupiravir, the trial population had worse outcome than the comparable general population not treated with Molnupiravir. 

These facts are grounds for Molnupiravir’s rejection, not approval.

Bone Marrow Toxicity and Leukemia Potential

The UK regulator MHRA referenced1 the following results from a previous study in dogs (emphasis is added):

“Reversible, dose-related bone marrow toxicity affecting all haematopoietic cell lines was observed in dogs at ≥17 mg/kg/day (0.4 times the human NHC exposure at the recommended human dose (RHD)).”

0.4 times exposure can be rephrased as a comparable exposure. Molnupiravir’s mutagenic effects can best be compared to the effects of ionizing radiation. A short-term exposure causes transitory injury, which may not even be felt. The long-term effects, depending on the dose, include cancer. The observed bone marrow toxicity suggests future leukemia. 

The information about bone marrow toxicity was in the preprint of the original study 4 but mysteriously disappeared in the published article 5. Notably, the first author of the paper is a C-level executive in the Ridgeback Biotherapeutics LP, Merck’s partner in Molnupiravir.

More Trial Oddities

Merck’s press release3 announced “successful trial results” in 775 patients. It also announced the end of enrollment of new patients, after the study had already enrolled more than 90% of prospective patients (or ~1,400). Because of the short observation time of 29 days, including the five days of treatment, Merck now has complete results from all ~1,400 patients (the original 775 plus those recruited after the interim analysis). Yet, none of this data has been published. That further raises suspicions that the data does not support Merk’s claims.

Selection of Low-Risk Patients

MHRA authorized Molnupiravir for adults with “at least one risk factor for developing severe illness”, but the risk factors include non-severe obesity and age (above 60), and some other conditions that can be mild or severe. This covers most of the adult population. 

Merck’s press release gives the impression that the trial population was a high-risk population. In fact, the study patients were at lower risk than the general population1 (emphasis is added):

“At baseline, in all randomised subjects, the median age was 44 years (range: 18 to 88 years); 14% of subjects were 60 years of age or older and 3% were over 75 years of age; …” 

More than 30% of the general adult population is 60 years old or older, compared with only 14% in the study population. 86% of the subjects were ages 18 – 59. They had at least one of the following conditions: “diabetes, obesity (BMI >30), chronic kidney disease, serious heart conditions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or active cancer.” Except for obesity, no information about the severity of these conditions is available. More than 40% of the US population 18 – 59 are obese (BMI>30), per ref 6, Table. 2. Non-severe obesity (35>BMI>30) increases the risk of COVID-19 hospitalization by only 7% 7. 

Even with this questionable patient selection, the rate of hospitalization in the Molnupiravir treatment group was 7.8%. This is higher than the hospitalization rate of less then 7%, found in the general population in January 2021. This is significantly higher than the hospitalization rate of the general population in the time of the trial (although it is hard to compare because of the lack of data from the trial).

Absence of Rationale to Stop the Trial Prematurely

The truncation of the trial was not justified. Although the efficacy was reported as 48% (relative risk reduction or RRR), the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval was only 17% (per ref  1, Table 2). For a novel drug with potentially very serious adverse effects, this is an unsatisfactory result. 

It is known in the industry that truncated trials significantly overestimate the effect8. When applying this overestimation to this rial, the estimated RRR drops to 27%, and lower bound to <0 (i.e., worsened outcome).

Thus, the results of intermediary analysis did not justify stopping the trial. The decision to stop recruiting was made after more than 90% of the planned number of participants were already recruited. If the sponsor believed that the drug is effective and safe for the intended population, they should have spent another 5-6 weeks to complete the study as planned9. That would have provided more necessary data, increased the lower bound of RRR confidence interval, and eliminated the controversy with the trial’s truncation. None of the justifications for truncating the trial were valid. Even taken as is, the efficacy data from the interim analysis was not sufficient for Molnupiravir ‘s authorization.

Additional problems with this trial have already been identified2. Based on all the inconsistencies in the conduct and reporting of this trial, it should be treated as scientific fraud.

Remarks

This reckless approval might have been influenced by the UK government’s February 2021 promise 10 to fast track certain COVID-19 treatments, including Molnupiravir.

At this point, one should not be surprised by what was not tested, according to MHRA1:

“Carcinogenicity studies with molnupiravir have not been conducted.”

“No drug interactions have been identified based on the limited available data.”

“No clinical interaction studies have been performed with molnupiravir.”

Doctors continue to warn about the risks of Molnupiravir11.

The concerns about the global catastrophic danger of Molnupiravir12 have not been addressed.

Affidavit of Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long, MD, MPH: A Brave Indictment of COVID Vaccines by Joel S Hirschhorn

This article celebrates the amazing bravery of a physician and senior military officer attacking the evil stupidity and anti-science character of the public health establishment.  Standing up to the coercive mandates to force COVID vaccine shots for large segments of the population that have far more risks than benefits from them.  Notably children, those with natural immunity and healthy, young military personnel.  This hero needs massive public support.  She should become a shining example for all physicians to fight for both medical freedom and genuine science.

In this pandemic where truths are crowded out by propaganda and political insanity, it is critically important to credit a truly remarkable document by a courageous medical professional.

Here are highlights from such a document, well worth the attention of all those who genuinely have informed concerns about current COVID vaccines.

Physician and Army Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long is a rare courageous truth-teller willing to probably jeopardize a military career for the greater good.  To try and steer the Department of Defense to policies that protect military personnel from dangerous and unnecessary COVID vaccines and defend our national defense.

Here is an initial observation: “Use of mRNA vaccines in our fighting force presents a risk of undetermined magnitude, in a population in which less than 20 active-duty personnel out of 1.4 million died of the underlying SARs- CoV-2.”  Statistical truths are routinely ignored by government officials mismanaging the pandemic.

Dr. Long focused on a now widely recognized health impact of current COVID vaccines, saying, “vaccination with mRNA increases the risk of myocarditis.” “Research shows that most individuals with myocarditis do not have any symptoms.  Complications of myocarditis include dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death and carries a mortality rate of 20% at one year and 50% at 5 years.  According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine, ‘despite optimal medical management, overall mortality has not changed in the last 30 years.’”

‘We must establish a screening program to identify those at increased risk of myocarditis, i.e., those that have, received mRNA vaccinations with [Pfizer] or Moderna, or have any of the following symptoms chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations.”

With regard to the Pfizer vaccine, “One of the primary ingredients of the Lipid Nanoparticle delivery system is “ALC 1035.”  This is a toxic material.  It “comprises between 30-50% of the total ingredients.”  Among a number of possible serious effects is this reality: “Caution: Product has not been fully validated for medical applications.  For research use only.”  Also noted: “Other journals and scientific papers also denote that this particular ingredient has never been used in humans before.”  The Colonel correctly notes, “My assessment is that ALC 1035 is a known toxin with little study, specifically restricted to ‘research only’ and effectively has no prior [medical] use history.”

Another ingredient in the vaccine is a known toxic chemical: “Polyethylene Glycol is the active ingredient in antifreeze.”  There have been countless cases where people have been fatally poisoned with this chemical.  This comment by the Colonel is especially impressive: “I cannot discern what form of alchemy Pfizer and the FDA have discovered that would make antifreeze into a healthful cure to the human body.”

Another important point is that “Moderna’s key ingredient, SM-102… is significantly more dangerous than the Pfizer ALC 3015.”  Noted is that “This Moderna ingredient is deadly.”

“I have also reviewed scientific data and peer reviewed studies that discuss, analyze results and conclude that natural immunity is at least as good if not far superior to any Covid Vaccine available at this time.”  Exactly correct.  Noted is that “natural immunity provides a 13-fold better protection against Covid 19 infections than any currently available Covid 19 Vaccine.”  The Colonel points out that the Department of Defense disinterest in recognizing that “a military member’s prior [natural] immunity to Covid 19; even where it may be demonstrated with a recent antibody test.”

Here is a detailed telling by the Colonel of recent empirical evidence she is personally informed about regarding the real health impacts of COVID vaccines on military people.  It is truly worth reading:

“I personally observed the most physically fit female Soldier I have seen in over 20 years in the Army, go from Colligate level athlete training for Ranger School, to being physically debilitated with cardiac problems, newly diagnosed pituitary brain tumor, thyroid dysfunction within weeks of getting vaccinated.  Several military physicians have shared with me their firsthand experience with a significant increase in the number of young Soldiers with migraines, menstrual irregularities, cancer, suspected myocarditis, and reporting cardiac symptoms after vaccination.  Numerous Soldiers and DOD civilians have told me of how they were sick, bed-ridden, debilitated, and unable to work for days to weeks after vaccination.  I have also recently reviewed three flight crew members’ medical records, all of which presented with both significant and aggressive systemic health issues.  Today I received word of one fatality and two ICU cases on Fort Hood; the deceased was an Army pilot who could have been flying at the time.  All three pulmonary embolism events happened within 48 hours of their vaccination.  I cannot attribute this result to anything other than the Covid 19 vaccines as the source of these events.  Each person was in top physical condition before the inoculation, and each suffered the event within 2 days post-vaccination.  Correlation by itself does not equal causation, however, significant causal patterns do exist that raise correlation into a probable cause, and the burden to prove otherwise falls on the authorities such as the CDC, FDA, and pharmaceutical manufacturers.  I find the illnesses, injuries, and fatalities observed to be the proximate and causal effect of the Covid 19 vaccinations.”

If only more physicians would have the good sense to make that last medically smart comment.

This statement is also important: “I can report of knowing over fifteen military physicians and healthcare providers who have shared experiences of having their safety concerns ignored and being ostracized for expressing or reporting safety concerns as they relate to COVID vaccinations.”

And here are several correct observations on harmful vaccine impacts: “None of the ordered Emergency Use Covid 19 vaccines can or will provide better immunity than an infection-recovered person [with natural immunity].  All [current] vaccines in the age group and fitness level of my patients are more risky, harmful, and dangerous than having no vaccine at all, whether a person is Covid recovered or facing a Covid 19 infection.  Direct evidence exists and suggests that all persons who have received a Covid 19 Vaccine are damaged in their cardiovascular system in an irreparable and irrevocable manner.  Due to the Spike protein production that is engineered into the user’s genome, each such recipient of the Covid 19 Vaccines already has micro clots in their cardiovascular system that present a danger to their health and safety.  That such micro clots over time will become bigger clots by the very nature of the shape and composition of the Spike proteins being produced and said proteins are found throughout the user’s body, including the brain.”  See this detailed account of vaccine-induced blood problems.

As to the vaccine dangers for the military personnel the Colonel is responsible for: “Flight crews present extraordinary risks to themselves and others given the equipment they operate, munitions carried thereon and areas of operation in close proximity to populated areas.”

And most importantly: “I hereby recommend to the Secretary of Defense that all pilots, crew and flight personnel in the military service who required hospitalization from injection or received any Covid 19 vaccination be grounded similarly for further dispositive assessment.”

The Colonel, like some other brave and honest medical professionals, also stressed this: “We must evaluate and immediately implement alternatives to mRNA vaccines, to include Ivermectin (FDA approved 1996) …and Hydroxychloroquine (FDA approved 1955).”

To sum up, we have a highly educated and credentialed senior military officer stepping up to tell those above her and the public about the major risks of COVID vaccines for military personnel.  This physician strongly needs public support in the fight for pandemic truths.  What she has concluded is just as important for the public as for military leadership and personnel.  She has revealed the evil idiocy of the current public health establishment mindlessly pushing COVID vaccines for everyone.

Federal Court of Appeals Halts Biden Vaccine Mandate for Now

Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted today “BREAKING: The Federal Court of Appeals just issued a temporary halt to Biden’s vaccine mandate.” The Governor of the nation’s second-most populous state declared that emergency hearings were imminent, noting, “We will have our day in court to strike down Biden’s unconstitutional abuse of authority.”

The Situation

POTUS declared in September that vaccination would be mandatory for workers in businesses with over 100 employees as the fastest path to overcome SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19. With over 750,000 lives lost from this pathogen, POTUS undoubtedly considered this massive national mandate as the fastest path to overcome the pandemic.

While the intentions may be well, the results of this declaration have triggered chaos across the country as lawsuits, protests, and sick-outs afflict the land. Problematically, the mandate doesn’t factor in natural immunity nor waning effectiveness (e.g. vaccine durability), which raises a number of concerning questions. What if that waning community continued, for instance? Does that mean boosters will be mandated next? What about exceptions?

Medical Choice vs. Public Health?

The Associated Press (AP) reported that the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency stay of the requirement by the federal Operational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that those federal workers in businesses with 100 or more employees be vaccinated by January 4th or have face mask requirements and weekly tests.

While the government undoubtedly looks at the mandate as purely an emergency public health measure, the opposition considers the mandate an affront to democratic society, violating constitutional rights along the way.

Claim: ‘Unlawful Overreach’

Governor Abbott included the court case in his tweet today involving Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry indicating promise in stopping POTUS from his “…unlawful overreach.”  The Republican AG declared “The president will not impose medical procedures on the American people without the checks and balances afforded by the constitution” in a statement.

While the Fifth District includes Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas and these types of decisions typically apply to these states, the judges’ language used today extended the scope of the edict nationally.

Lawsuits Piling Up

TrialSite reports that at least 27 states have already initiated litigation challenging the POTUS declaration across several federal legal circuits in response to the vaccine mandate.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals three-judge panel declared that the cases’ petitioners “give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate.” The action was initiated by a number of states — dominated by Republican leadership—along with private sector firms subject to the mandate (that is regulated by OSHA). The court didn’t declare if the order had national impact or it only applied to this particular federal district.

The appeals court next requested that the government come back with a response by this Monday at 5 pm.

Does the SARS-CoV-2 Spike in Vaccines Weaken DNA Damage Repair & Adaptive Immunity?

Recently, scientists working out of Sweden probed the SARS-CoV-2 spike’s ability to damage DNA in SARS-CoV-2 infected hosts. A troubling prospect, the study authors focused on the lack of adaptive immunity associated with severe COVID-19 patients. Clinical microbiologist Hui Jiang working out of both Umeå University and The Wenner–Gren Institute, Stockholm University, as well as Ya-Fang Mei, the virologist lead at Umeå University, found in a laboratory study using in vitro cell lines that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein “significantly inhibits DNA damage repair,” necessary for the adaptive immunity for recovering from severe cases of the illness. This occurs as the spike protein associated with the novel coronavirus “localizes in the nucleus and inhibits DNA damage repair by impeding key DNA repair protein BRCA1 and 53BP1 recruitment to the damage site.” The pair hypothesize: could they have discovered how COVID-19 impedes the infected patient’s adaptive immunity? More disturbingly, does this breakthrough point out that the possible side effects of full-length spike-based vaccines?

Both Hui Jiang and a Ya-Fang Mei sought to better understand the mechanism making SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVD-19, so adversely impactful on the human adaptive immune system in severe cases. TrialSite provides a brief breakdown for the audience based on subscriber requests.

What can happen to severe cases of COVID-19?

In severe cases, SARS-CoV-2 adversely impacts human adaptive immunity. Meaning the virus hijacks and dysregulates the patient’s “cellular machinery to replicate, assemble and spread progeny viruses.” Studies reveal that patients infected with COVID-19 had impacted lymphocyte number and function. Additionally, in severe cases, COVID-19 patients produce fewer T cells, helper T cells, and suppressor T cells. Moreover, scientists have found that in severe infection, the disease delays IgG and IgM levels, which, combined with the previous elements, indicates the degradation of the human adaptive immune system.

What was the study question that both authors pursued?

What was the mechanism by which COVID-19 suppresses adaptive immunity?

What are two critical host surveillance systems?

Immune and DNA repair systems are primary systems that higher organisms such as humans depend on to defend against a diverse array of threats and tissue homeostasis.

The authors share that mounting evidence suggests that the two systems depend on each other’s, particularly during lymphocyte development maturation.

Key investigational question

Do SARS-CoV-2 proteins hijack the DNA damage repair system and consequently endanger adaptive immunity in vitro?

What do the two scientists from Umeå University discover?

First, the authors’ study generates evidence to support the hypothesis that adaptive immunity is adversely impacted because the spike protein hijacks the host DNA damage repair machinery. The authors’ findings suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein significantly impedes V(D)J recombination. 

So how is this relevant to a common understanding of risks with COVID-19?

If these findings are accurate, we already know from clinical observations that the risk of severe illness or death increases with age and that the elderly face the highest risk from the pathogen. Perhaps this is due to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein weakening the DNA repair system of the elderly. This would hamper V(D)J recombination and adaptive immunity.

How might COVID-19 vaccines compound the problem?

The Sweden-based research team suggests that the “full-length spike-based vaccines may inhibit the recombination of V(D)J in B cells. First, Hui Jang and Ya-Fang Mei write that another study backs the premise that “a full-length spike-based vaccine-induced lower antibody titers compared to the RBD-based vaccine.”

They propose a different approach with the COVID-19 vaccine, suggesting “that the use of antigenic epitopes of the spike as a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine might be safer and more efficacious than the full-length spike.”  

What is the potential bombshell finding in this recently published study?

The authors propose ways in which SARS-CoV-2 suppresses the “host adaptive machinery.” Combined with this is the problematic implication that these side effects carry over to full-length spike-based vaccines.

What needs to happen?

Researchers must better understand how SARS-CoV-2 develops and unfolds in the human body and gain an improved understanding of the impact of the current crop of vaccines.
