Australian Senator Who Opposes Vaccine Mandate Escorted To Quarantine Hotel: “This Has Been Premeditated”

South Australian Senator Alex Antic was taken into hotel quarantine under police escort in Adelaide on Thursday night. The senator who has been very vocal against vaccine mandates is now forced to quarantine for two weeks.

The bizarre incident comes after Prime Minister Scott Morrison insisted in an interview last Friday that the senator has received both doses of the COVID vaccine.

Antic was escorted by police who placed him in a medi-hotel for unvaccinated travelers

The senator was asked by ABC Radio Adelaide on Friday why he was taken to a hotel to quarantine for two weeks to which he responded:

“That’s a very good question.

I’ve been a person who has been very, very vocal about mandates, vaccine passports, discrimination, government overreach and bureaucratic overreach.

Now all of a sudden I seem to have been singled out in what appears to be a political stunt and the only inference you can really draw from this is this has been quite premeditated.

My wife and my three-month-child are now at home for another two weeks without me.”

Scott Morrison has revealed he was “surprised” that Antic was detained and locked up in a medi-hotel for the unvaccinated on Thursday night because he believed he had been fully vaccinated.

“It was certainly my understanding that he’d been double vaccinated. And I had discussed vaccinations and made it very clear that that’s what I understood him to be, double vaccinated. So I was surprised.”

Aranya Inna: 15-Year-Old Thai Student Dies A Month After Receiving Second Pfizer Vaccine, Family Seeks Justice

Aranya Inna, a healthy 15-year-old female student from Thailand has died less than a month after receiving her second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Aranya got her second dose on November 3rd and her health gradually deteriorated until her tragic death less than a month later on November 30th.

The family of the 15-year-old is now seeking answers and accountability for her sudden death.

Aranya’s grandmother is unable to hold back tears when asked about her granddaughter’s death

Aranya suffered from abdominal pain and headaches shortly after her second jab and her grandmother took her to hospital. Initially, the doctor said that she was suffering from gastritis and sent her back home, but shortly after, she became seriously ill and was rushed back to hospital on the 24th.

The 15-year-old was admitted to Rajavithi Public Hospital in Bangkok where they discovered that her platelet levels were extremely low and she was transferred to the intensive care unit.

Despite doctors doing everything they could to save her, Aranya passed away at 4 am on November 30th.

Aranya received her second Pfizer dose on November 3rd

Aranya’s older sister said the family suspects her death to be due to the Pfizer vaccine. She explained to reporters how Aranya had never been sick as a child, and only became ill after she was vaccinated.

The 15-year-old had allegedly told her family that she was afraid to get the vaccine because she had heard that ‘a lot of people had died after being vaccinated’ but also told them that she didn’t think it would happen to her.

Federal Judge in Florida Denies Relief for Service Members, While Acknowledging that an EUA is not the Same as a BLA-Approval

On November 12, the US District Court in Florida issued a ruling that despite irregularities in the process, service members suing over the discrepancies in the Department of Defense’s possible use of EUA Pfizer product in lieu of the Biologics License Application (BLA) approved version, Comirnaty, are not entitled to pretrial relief, aka an injunction. The plaintiffs argued that the DoD mandate goes against their statutory right to refuse a EUA vaccine and that recipients of EUA drugs must, by statute, be “informed… of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product” This statutory right to refuse can be waived for military service members only if the President determines in writing that, “complying with the requirement [for EUAs] is not in the interest of national security.” DOD admits that this presidential waiver has not been done in this case. Ergo, DOD cannot at this time mandate a EUA vaccine. Since DOD asserts that only FDA-licensed vaccines are mandated, there is a problem with the plaintiff’s claim: since the claims are facial challenges to the regulations, it is key that on its face the mandate does not require anyone to take a EUA product. Yet, plaintiffs have shown that DOD is mandating injections from vials not labeled “Comirnaty.” DOD attorneys could not even advise the court as to whether vaccines labeled “Comirnaty” exist at all! DoD filed an initial response claiming they had adequate Comirnaty supplies, but later they clarified that it was in fact mandating vaccines from EUA-labeled vials.

DoD Asserts EUA-Labeled Product is BLA-Compliant

DoD asserts that the labeling question is irrelevant as the EUA vials are “chemically identical” to vials labeled “Comirnaty,” while as noted not being certain that the latter even exists at DoD. Per the court, DoD argues that “all EUA-labeled vials essentially become Comirnaty, even if not so labeled.” This argument was found unconvincing: for one, FDA licensure does not retroactively apply to vials shipped prior to the BLA approval. The court found that vaccines sent prior to August 23, as well as vaccines made after that date in a facility not approved by FDA, remain EUA products. Per the applicable statutes, “drugs mandated for military personnel [must] be actually BLA-approved, not merely chemically similar to a BLA-approved drug.” Still, the court found that the plaintiffs “have not shown a likelihood of success….” FDA’s approval of Comirnaty, “explains that certain lots of EUA-labeled vials are nonetheless ‘BLA-compliant,’ and that healthcare providers may disregard the EUA-specific labeling when administering doses from those vials.” DoD asserts that it has a large supply of BLA-compliant product that is EUA-labeled and that it is using these doses.

Plaintiffs Relied on Evidence not in the Record 

In a key point, the judge wrote that, “no plaintiff claims he or she was specifically denied a BLA-compliant dose or offered only a dose from a non-BLA-compliant vial. Because the plaintiffs have not shown they are (or will be) required to receive a EUA-labeled, non-BLA compliant vaccine, the plaintiffs have not shown a likelihood of success.” The court goes on to opine further in favor of the defendants: while plaintiffs claimed that FDA failed to follow the law, wrongly determined that EUA and Comirnaty products were interchangeable, and allowed a BLA product to have a EUA label; the court says that they have no legal precedent or authorities and they, “do not dispute that the FDA’s Summary Basis for Regulatory Action specifically included certain EUA-labeled lots under the BLA approval.” Still, FDA’s Comirnaty approval letter states that the drug must be labeled as such. And federal regulation, “could be read to prohibit distributing a fully licensed drug with a EUA-specific label and package insert rather than those its BLA approval requires.” Also key, the court points out that the plaintiffs were relying on evidence and materials that were not formally in the court’s record. Further, the judge said that these plaintiffs have not attempted to use the available administrative remedies to challenge the FDA’s actions.

Smoking gun confidential Pfizer document exposes FDA criminal cover-up of VACCINE DEATHS... they knew the jab was killing people in early 2021... three times more WOMEN than MEN

Thanks to the efforts of a group called Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, we now have smoking gun confidential documents that show Pfizer and the FDA knew in early 2021 that pfizer's mRNA vaccines were killing thousands of people and causing spontaneous abortions while damaging three times more women than men. One confidential document in particular was part of a court-ordered release of FDA files that the FDA fought by claiming the agency should have 55 years to release this information. A court judge disagreed and ordered the release of 500 documents per month, and the very first batch of documents contained this bombshell entitled, "Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Reports." Get it here: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf Or here, mirrored on NN servers: https://www.naturalnews.com/files/536-postmarketing-experience.pdf The document reveals that within just 90 days after the EUA release of Pfizer's mRNA vaccine, the company was already aware of voluntary adverse reaction reports that revealed 1,223 deaths and over 42,000 adverse reports describing a total of 158,893 adverse reactions. The reports originated from numerous countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain and other nations. Aside from "general disorders," the No. 1 most frequently reported category of mRNA vaccine adverse reactions was Nervous system disorders, clocking in at 25,957 reports. Pfizer has withheld the total number of doses released across the world, citing corporate trade secrets. This is indicated by "(b) (4)" in the document, where specific numbers and facts are redacted. Even these numbers -- already quite shocking, given the FDA's insistence that mRNA vaccines are "safe and effective" -- barely scratch the surface of the damage and deaths caused by these vaccines. "Reports are submitted voluntarily, and the magnitude of underreporting is unknown," says Pfizer on page 5.

Three times as many women damaged, compared to men

Shockingly, the document reveals that more than three times as many women were damaged by the Pfizer vaccine, compared to men. There were 29,914 adverse events recorded in women, with just 9,182 recorded in men. It is not known whether the same number of men and women took the vaccine, but this number exposes the very real possibility of a gender-specific vaccine damage risk that the FDA went to great lengths to cover up. Anecdotally, most of the neurological damage we've seen in people who have been damaged by the vaccine -- convulsions, numbness, pain, etc. -- has been depicted in women, not men. It looks like the FDA knows the mRNA vaccine exhibits a disproportionate, gender-specific damage profile that also affects women in terms of spontaneous abortions (also covered in the report).

Pfizer told the FDA its mRNA covid vaccines can cause "enhanced disease" by making covid worse

Also to the shock of many observers who are just now digging into this smoking gun document, Pfizer told the FDA under "Safety concerns" (section 3.1.2) that its mRNA injection could cause, "Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Disease (VAED), including Vaccine-associated Enhanced Respiratory Disease (VAERD)." This means the FDA knew the vaccine could sicken and kill patients who were later infected with covid. Under the label of "missing information," Pfizer also told the FDA that it has no information about "Use in Pregnancy and lactation" nor covering "Use in Paediatric Individuals < 12 Years of Age." "Vaccine Effectiveness" was also listead as "Missing information" by Pfizer. In other words, Pfizer told the FDA its vaccines could kill people and that it had no information about vaccine effectiveness, yet the FDA fraudulently pushed the vaccine as "safe and effective" anyway. Pfizer even told the FDA that it had no safety information about use in pregnant women, yet the FDA (and Fauci, the CDC, etc.) all pushed the vaccine for pregnant women, despite the utter lack of safety information. Based on this document, it appears that the FDA itself has been neck-deep in a criminal conspiracy to hide the truth about vaccine injuries and deaths while granting usage approvals to the very same corporations that openly told the FDA its products were killing people. Note, too, that the entire corporate media complex has lied from day one, falsely claiming the vaccine has killed no one. They are, of course, complicit in this vaccine holocaust.

Spontaneous abortions, neonatal death and other effects on pregnant women

In the section labeled, "Use in Pregnancy and lactation," the report discusses reports of the mRNA vaccine being linked to: spontaneous abortion (23), outcome pending (5), premature birth with neonatal death, spontaneous abortion with intrauterine death (2 each), spontaneous abortion with neonatal death, and normal outcome (1 each). Notice that "spontaneous abortion" represents by far the highest number in these reports. In other words, the FDA knew this vaccine would kill unborn babies, but they pushed it on pregnant women anyway.

All mRNA vaccines must be immediately halted, and FDA bureaucrats must be indicted and arrested

This confidential document -- just the first of thousands yet to be released -- reveals two critical things: 1) The FDA committed criminal fraud and misrepresentation in approving mRNA vaccines as "safe and effective." This means top FDA decision makers must now face arrest and criminal prosecution. 2) The mRNA vaccine was known by Pfizer to be deadly even in its first three months of emergency use. This means Pfizer is also complicit in the continued deaths of innocent victims, as Pfizer itself should have pulled its deadly vaccine and halted all sales and distribution.

University of Pennsylvania-led Study Team Reveal ACE2 Chewing Gum Just Might Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Oral Transmission

A study led by the University of Pennsylvania, Department of Medicine, and other research institutes such as Wistar Institute sought to advance a chewing gum that could decrease oral transmission and infection associated with COVID-19. A prominent group of esteemed scientists and physicians suggest that chewing gum with virus-tapping proteins could introduce an economical approach to protecting patients from a majority of oral-based viral reinfections via “debulking” or minimizing transmission to others.

TrialSite briefly breaks down this research for all.

What is the issue?

The SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads through droplets and/or aerosol transmission and is most concerning in close quarters where people are close together. Infected individuals more easily spread it to others or “transmit” the pathogen infecting others.

What attempts have been made to inhibit this problem?

Masking and social distancing have been the primary means that public health authorities have sought to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, some projects in public setting buildings involve the improvement of air exchanges via filtration.

What is the primary way the pathogen is spread?

The most contagious scenario is in closed quarters where people talk, breathe, or cough near someone else. In fact, according to the recent study, most people emit >100 times smaller aerosols (< μm) during these interactions.

What about vaccination?

Well, most of the world isn’t vaccinated, and frankly, it was never reasonable that the World Health Organization and other pandemic preparation and response teams to think that 70%+ of the world could be vaccinated within a year or two—it is just unreasonable and hints of removed elites that don’t understand how the world works.

In fact, vaccine hesitancy continues to be a big problem, especially in cultures where Western medicine isn’t trusted. Moreover, Western governments have made profound mistakes in positioning the vaccine as a cure. It is not—rather, it could be a useful measure, such as an influenza shot on an annual basis.  

But importantly, the influenza shot doesn’t stop all people from becoming infected with the flu, just like the current crop of COVID-19 vaccines don’t work too well after several months. Vaccine effectiveness wanes, and boosters are required. Yet, what are the long-term consequences of this regimen? We do not know yet.

Vaccination is an important strategy to reduce hospitalization and death, but it doesn’t stop viral transmission, especially after several months. 

What is causing viral strain mutation?

There are different causes. First, the coronavirus pathogen itself is known to mutate—that’s a given. But some believe that the lack of universal vaccination creates reservoirs for mutation. Yet, that mutation would happen anyway! Other scientists, such as Geert Vanden Bossche, believe that the act of mass vaccination in the pandemic itself triggers the conditions for further mutation. There are no studies that prove one argument over the other conclusively.

What is the pressing need?

The reality is that a highly contagious virus has caused over 5 million deaths and 200 million or more infections, thus the need for a way to develop measures to slow down the transmission of infection associated with SARS-CoV-2.

Why did the researchers in this study focus on the oral cavity?

Because that is where the primary site of viral replication occurs.

What did the researchers do?

They sought to “advance a novel concept of debulking virus in the oral activity with virus-tapping proteins CTB-ACE2 expressed in chloroplasts to develop clinical-grade plant material to meet FDA requirements.

What is the investigational product?

Chewing gum (2 g) containing plant cells expressed CTB-ACE2 up to 17 mg ACE/g dry weight (11.7% leaf protein). This investigational product has physical characteristics as well as the taste and flavor like standard chewing gum products. The authors report “no protein was lost during gum compression.”

What were the results of this study?

According to the authors, CTB-ACE2 gum efficiency (>95%) inhibited entry of lentivirus spike or VSV spike pseudovirus in Vero/CHO cells when quantified by luciferase or red fluorescence.

Moreover, they report, “Incubation of CTB-ACE2 microparticles reduced SARS-CoV-2 virus count in COVID-19 swab/saliva samples by >95% when evaluated by microbubbles (femtomolar concentration) or qPCR, demonstrating both virus trapping and blocking of cellular entry.”

Additionally, the authors pointed out that when compared with healthy individuals, COVID-19 saliva samples demonstrated “low or undetectable ACE2 activity (2,582 versus 50,126 ΔRFU; 27 versus 225 enzyme units),” verifying “greater susceptibility of infected patients for viral entry.”

Finally, they note “CTB-ACE2 activity was completely inhibited by pre-incubation with SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain, offering an explanation for reduced saliva ACE2 activity among COVID-19 patients.”

What is the authors’ key takeaway?

Chewing gum with “virus-tapping proteins” may represent an economical approach to protect patients from most oral virus reinfections via “debulking or minimizing transmission” to other people nearby.

Saranrat Sariman: 29-Year-Old Dies 6 Days After Receiving Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, Family Seeks Answers

A healthy 29-year-old Thai woman has died six days after receiving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Saranrat Sariman, nicknamed ‘Dreamie‘ received her shot on November 22nd and suffered heart palpitations that night. She was hospitalized on the 26th with pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) and died two days later. The 29-year-old had previously received two shots of the Chinese Sinovac vaccine before the Moderna booster shot.

Saranrat Sariman

Dreamie’ as she is called by her friends and family, began to feel ill on the 25th and saw a doctor who did a blood test, but was sent home with the doctor believing it was probably a thyroid condition. However, just a day later she suffered a seizure and was admitted to ICU. The 29-year-old was then diagnosed with pulmonary embolism and scheduled for surgery the next day but before she could be operated on, she died.

Her sister said that the family believes that she died as a result of the Moderna shot:

“I would like to ask for justice because I am sure that my sister died of an adverse reaction to her vaccination. I want to use the information about my sister’s symptoms as a case study of the impact of the Moderna vaccine.

Maybe more research data is needed?”

GROWING EVIDENCE OF MYOCARDITIS RISK IN YOUNG PEOPLE AND ATHLETES

A new trend in heart disease is emerging in younger people, particularly athletes, thought to be a result of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. The South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety reported  492 deaths in young people directly after vaccination, which TrialSite reported on in September. In the same month, TrialSite reported on a report from Public Health Ontario (PHO) on aggregating COVID-19 vaccination adverse events following vaccination (AEFI) across Ontario, with young persons aged 24 and under accounting for 80% of the total AEFIs. Now, further reports are emerging on cardiac events in young, vaccinated people around the world. Are the reports accurate?  If does this change the risk-benefit analyses used for aggressive universal vaccination programs?

The German newspaper Berliner Zeitung has published an investigation into why numerous professional and amateur soccer players have recently collapsed. The report noted 24 recent incidents of footballers who had cardiac problems or collapsed on the field, some of which responded to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and others resulting in death. Cardiac arrest was shown to be the most common cause. As well as the soccer players on the field, non-players such as coaches and referees counted for eight of the occurrences.

The Covid World, a website that gives a voice to victims and survivors of adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines, lists eleven world-class athletes who died or were severely injured after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. TrialSite cannot verify the veracity of all the claims, but mounting data points trigger concern. A baseball player from Japan and an archery athlete from Malaysia died in separate situations, weeks after receiving COVID-19 vaccinations. The majority of the instances include sportsmen who suffer cardiac problems after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination, such as pericarditis and myocarditis. In another four cases, blood clots and other health issues occurred.

Peter Schirmacher of the University of Heidelberg in Germany argues that total vaccination-related deaths are underreported. He believes that the vaccination is responsible for 30-40% of the 40 autopsies of persons who died within two weeks of receiving a COVID-19 vaccination in his research, as previously reported on TrialSite. COVID vaccinations that are based on genes induce the body to create spike protein, which is toxic and can cause inflammation and blood clots in all major organs, including the brain, heart, lungs, and ovaries, for up to 48 hours. In the same research, 42% of the 400,000 adverse events reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in relation to COVID-19 vaccinations had at least one cardiovascular incident.

A Link Between Heart Problems and mRNA Vaccine

For a while the World Health Organization (WHO) failed to  emphasize heart issues as an adverse event of special interest for mRNA vaccines, however the global health agency updated https://www.who.int/news/item/27-10-2021-gacvs-statement-myocarditis-pericarditis-covid-19-mrna-vaccines-updated its position on October 27 highlighting the “rare” but relevant topic. WHO previously identified anaphylaxis in association with mRNA vaccines. The AstraZeneca and Janssen COVID-19 adenovirus vector vaccines have been linked to a highly rare and atypical clotting syndrome with thromboembolic events (blood clots) and thrombocytopenia (low blood platelet count). Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome is the name given to this illness (TTS).

However, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease control (CDC), found a “likely association” between the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and reported cases of heart inflammation. Cases of myocarditis have been reported to the VAERS following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), particularly in male teenagers and young adults, more often after the second dose and usually within a few days of vaccination.

Between January and April 2021, patients in the US Military Health System who developed myocarditis after receiving COVID-19 vaccine were investigated in a case series. Following receipt of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, myocarditis developed in previously healthy military patients with identical clinical symptoms. After a second vaccine injection, the number of male military members with myocarditis cases was higher than projected.

However, more monitoring and study of this adverse occurrence after vaccination is required. Another study linked the vaccination to an increased risk of myocarditis, with 1 to 5 events per 100,000 persons. After SARS-CoV-2 infection, the risk of this potentially serious adverse event, as well as many other serious adverse events, was significantly raised.

Dr. Peter McCullough, internist and cardiologist in Dallas TX has indicated that the standard of care for the growing number of cases with vaccine-induced myocarditis includes 3-6 months of no physical activity.  The well-known cardiologist shared with TrialSite: “I am concerned that athletes are having subclinical myocarditis in the weeks to months after vaccination and are pushing through the symptoms given the incentives of sports contracts and we know a consequence of strenuous exertion in the setting of myocarditis is cardiac death.”

Heart Disease Trend Emerging in Younger People

According to statistics reported by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the coronavirus vaccinations developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna may have caused heart problems in over 1,200 Americans, including over 500 under the age of 30.

Some young individuals who have had COVID-19, those who have been vaccinated against the virus, and student athletes are showing signs of cardiac disease, according to health professionals. In a joint statement released by the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities and WHO, incidences of thromboembolic events with thrombocytopenia following vaccination were mostly recorded in younger people rather than the elderly. In the same source stated that even public health officials in several countries advise against administering the AstraZeneca vaccine to younger individuals.

When reviewing VAERS data, there are several limitations. For starters, anyone can contribute information willingly, therefore reports range in quality and thoroughness. Second, because VAERS only receives reports for a small fraction of real adverse events, one of the key possibilities is underreporting. Finally, VAERS accepts all reports without deciding if the vaccine was to blame. VAERS will accept the report without requiring confirmation that the occurrence was caused by the vaccination.

Impact of Vaccine on Athletic Performance

Vaccinated patients who have never been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 may have elevated physiological demands for at least 2 to 3 weeks after receiving their second dose of the mRNA vaccine. In the post-vaccine study that included 18 healthy adults (nine females and nine men) ranging in age from 24 to 43 years old, oxygen uptake, CO2 production, respiratory exchange ratio, ventilation, heart rate, serum noradrenaline, and rating of perceived exertion were all considerably higher. After vaccination, exercise adrenaline levels were considerably lower, and serum lactate levels were trending lower, suggesting that the body was not adapting well to exercise conditions.

Unfortunately, because the total number of cases of COVID-19 is unknown, it is difficult to estimate how likely someone is to die if they become infected. The fact that not everyone with COVID-19 is tested is one of the major reasons behind this. However, vaccine-related myocarditis was found in 1.0 per 100 000 people who received at least one COVID-19 vaccination, while pericarditis was found in 1.8 per 100 000 people who received at least one COVID-19 vaccination.

‘Still Safe’, say the Authorities

Despite these data, health authorities continue to downplay any concern, aggressively recommending the vaccinations. In September, TrialSite reported that the South Korean government had only acknowledged two post-vaccination deaths as being related to the vaccines; other governments have followed suit, quickly assuring the public that the deaths are not linked to the COVID-19 vaccine.

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) assembled an expert panel to discuss the current data, knowledge gaps, and recommendations around COVID vaccination in athletes. They concluded that COVID vaccination should be included during the pre-participation physical examination for athletes at all levels of training and competition, according to a document released in November 2021.

Although there should be caution in the event of rare side effects such as myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination, the CDC continues to recommend that everyone aged 12 and above get vaccinated against COVID-19, on the basis of benefits outweighing the risks of a rare adverse reaction to vaccination, such as myocarditis or pericarditis.
