Anti-vaxxers, Covid skeptics labeled PSYCHOPATHS while murderous vaccine fanatics target innocent children

(Natural News) A Canadian professor said those refusing to accept Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines and the official government narrative on the pandemic are considered “psychopaths.” He added that such a tactic forms part of a bigger divide-and-rule strategy.

Michel Chossudovsky, the president and director of the Center for Research on Globalization (CRG), made this claim back in August 2020. While his assertion was written months before the first COVID-19 vaccine was developed, his predictions eventually came to pass.

“We have entered a new phase. The ‘vaccine passport’ is being imposed in a large number of countries. The non-vaccinated are confined to their homes, prevented from traveling, fired from their jobs [and] prevented from attending schools and universities. They are accused of being extremists and psychopaths,” Chossudovsky said.

He continued: “What is unfolding is a despicable political process which consists in creating a social divide between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. These social divisions are creating conflicts within families and local communities, literally contributing to the disruption of social life with devastating impacts on local activity.”

According to the CRG director and professor emeritus at the University of Ottawa, propaganda from the mainstream media exacerbates this divide-and-rule scenario. He said media outlets paint those refusing to get injected with the vaccine as anti-social psychopaths.

Furthermore, those questioning medical tyranny in the form of pandemic response are also tagged as anti-social psychopaths. Chossudovsky pointed out that peer-reviewed psychological studies are conducted in different countries worldwide to categorize these ardent opponents. (Related: If you don’t believe the official narrative on COVID-19, then you have a MENTAL ILLNESS, claim scientists.)

“Accept the ‘big lie’ and you are tagged as a ‘good person’ with ’empathy’ who understands the feelings of others. Protest against the official truth; criticize government guidelines; express reservations regarding the closing down of the global economy, social distancing and the wearing of the face mask – and you will be tagged … as a ‘callous and deceitful psychopath.'”

Chossudovsky ultimately said both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated are victims of a “worldwide criminal agenda.”

The real psychopaths: Fauci and other elites

“These empirical psychology studies are meant to be used against citizens who are opposed to the instructions of their respective governments. In turn, these governments obey orders from higher up,” the CRG director said.

“While ordinary citizens are tagged, what is increasingly obvious is that the billionaires who are behind the [coronavirus] lockdown and the closure of the global economy are mentally deranged. Money and enrichment is the driving force.”

Chossudovsky also named top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci as among these psychopaths. He specifically cited the inconsistent guidance from the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) with regard to wearing face masks.

During the pandemic’s early days, Fauci advised the public against wearing masks in anticipation of possible shortages of protective gear. However, he later changed his tune as the pandemic progressed – saying that face coverings can “protect people to a certain degree” from getting infected and block droplets that can transmit SARS-CoV-2.

“Wearing the face mask is detrimental to a person’s health – it’s known and documented. Enforcing the [mask mandate] using fake science as a justification is an illegal and criminal act. Fauci confirmed it, [but] now he says exactly the opposite. He is lying to himself when ordering that [mask mandates] be applied universally,” Chossudovsky said.

Chossudovsky was not the only one who pointed out Fauci’s psychopathy. The Patriot Nurse said the NIAID director possesses psychological pathology, which is characterized by abnormality and dysfunctions. She added that Fauci’s abnormal mental state leads to manipulation and lust for power. (Related: The Patriot Nurse tells Mike Adams: Fauci has psychological pathology.)

“People in government are like this. People in power are usually not there because they’re beneficent. They are manipulative and they enjoy power that fundamentally transforms [society]. We should be screening any advice from people who are in positions of government – particularly un-elected, appointed ones like Fauci,” she told the Health Ranger Mike Adams.

Biden poised to ROUND UP anti-vaccine doctors and force them into insane asylums Monday, January 31, 2022 by: Arsenio Toledo

(Natural News) What happened to Dr. Meryl Nass will happen to any other doctor in America that does not agree to parrot the government’s stance regarding the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), according to both Nass and political commentator Stew Peters of the Stew Peters Show.

On Jan. 21, Peters had Nass come on to his show to talk about what happened to her when she started going against the accepted science regarding COVID-19.

Nass, a doctor from Ellsworth, Maine with 25 years of experience in medicine, is regarded as one of the country’s foremost experts on anthrax. She has been called to provide testimony to at least six different congressional committees and has also provided testimony to multiple state legislatures, including in Canada, regarding anthrax and other medically-related topics like Gulf War syndrome and bioterrorism.

All these distinctions did not protect Nass against state authorities in Maine. The Maine Board of Licensure recently suspended her license to practice medicine for supposedly spreading “misinformation” regarding COVID-19.

“The Board concludes that the continued ability of Dr. Nass to practice as a physician in the State of Maine constitutes an immediate jeopardy to the health and physical safety of the public who might receive her medical services, and that it is necessary to immediately suspend her ability to practice medicine in order to adequately respond to this risk,” wrote the licensure board.

Nass was also cited for treating her COVID-19 patients with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. The suspension order even mentioned her calling the COVID-19 vaccines “nefarious” and suggesting that there may be substances in the vaccine that the government “wants to inject in us.” She also called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “a criminal agency.”

To get her medical license back, the licensure board will schedule a hearing with Nass to hear her testimony. But before this can take place, Nass has been ordered to undergo a neuropsychological evaluation by a psychologist specifically selected by the board. (Related: Anti-vaxxers, COVID skeptics labeled PSYCHOPATHS while murderous vaccine fanatics target innocent children.)

“They’re claiming that because she doesn’t obey the Lord and God Tony Fauci, then Dr. Nass is literally insane,” commented Peters. “This is a tactic that they literally used in the Soviet Union, by the way. Soviet authorities said that people who criticized the system had ‘slugging schizophrenia,’ and they stuck them in mental asylums.”

“And now that Soviet system has come to America, which makes sense because our leaders have basically the same ideology.”

What happened to Nass is already happening elsewhere in the United States

Nass may be one of the most prominent silenced voices within the medical community pushing back against mainstream views regarding how to treat COVID-19, but she isn’t the only one – nor is she the first doctor in Maine to be suspended.

Late last year, Dr. Paul Gosselin of Waterville, Maine was suspended by the medical licensing board for supposedly spreading “misinformation” about COVID-19. Gosselin was also cited for signing off on multiple vaccine exemption letters that the regulatory board found questionable.

In Texas, Houston Methodist Hospital, notorious for firing hundreds of employees who refused to get vaccinated, suspended Dr. Mary Bowden for supposedly spreading misinformation about COVID-19.

Bowden, an ear, nose and throat specialist, was targeted by Houston Methodist after she used her social media accounts to express her discontent with the hospital’s use of COVID-19 vaccines and weaponization of vaccine mandates. She was also targeted for her support of ivermectin.

What happened to Nass, Gosselin and Bowden is still happening across the country, and more doctors who stand up against what Peters called the “dominance” and “control” of so-called public health experts will most likely also be stripped of their license to practice medicine.

Ontario Health Minister calls for “immediate censorship of doctors” … medical totalitarianism rolling out fast

(Natural News) Christine Elliott, the Deputy Premier of Ontario, Can., does not approve of doctors in her province having any free speech rights, or even the right to practice medicine, if they violate her government’s Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) narrative.

In a speech, Elliott told her constituents that she is calling for increased censorship of physicians who say or do anything outside the bounds of the official story, which is that masks and vaccines are the only cure for the Fauci Flu.

“I want to respond to some extremely concerning reports that some doctors are spreading misinformation about vaccines,” Elliott read from her script.

“At a time when it’s never been more important for Ontarians to have confidence in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, this is unacceptable.”

The solution, Elliott went on to explain, is to silence all doctors who disobey her dictates, and even take away their medical licenses.

“I will be sending a letter to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario urging them to do everything that is possible to put an end to this behavior,” Elliott said.

“They should consider all options in doing so, including reviewing the licenses of physicians found to be spreading misinformation.”

Christine Elliott is deranged and dangerous

Elliott previously expressed her deep fears about the omicron (moronic) variant of the Wuhan Flu, which is just the common cold.

In her mind, moronic is really scary and requires full obedience from the medical profession in getting more people vaccinated, even though the jabs are what is spreading moronic.

“We are starting to see glimmers of hope,” Elliott told a press pool in a dramatic speech. “The sacrifices you are making now mean we are beginning to see signs of stabilization.”

Stabilization from what, exactly, was not explained. Since time immemorial, people have been getting the sniffles, and Elliott is acting as though it is the end of the world.

This deranged Branch Covidian, if she was not a political leader, could simply be ignored or perhaps admitted to the nearest mental hospital for treatment of her delusions. Unfortunately, she holds power in Ontario and is not afraid to wield it.

As we reported, Ontario is already suffering immensely from Elliott’s earlier dictates, one of which involved firing all unvaccinated doctors and nurses throughout the province.

This resulted in a major shortage of health care staff, which then prompted Elliott to cancel all “non-urgent” surgeries because there are not enough medical workers to go around anymore.

Now, Elliott wants to drive the final nail in the coffin for Ontario by removing the medical licenses of all doctors and health care practitioners who refuse to buy in to her grand delusions about the moronic variant and the injections.

“Any doctor who obeys that witch doesn’t have credibility,” someone wrote in response to Elliott’s announcement.

“The same thing is happening here with the formerly respected American Board of Internal Medicine and American College of Physicians-ACP / the Internal Medicine Specialty Society,” wrote another.

“It is disgusting that these dues-supported institutions are siding with and abetting the destruction of the American healthcare system.”

Others noted that Elliott is an unqualified politician who reads scripts while the doctors she wants to disbar all went through medical school and know far more than she does about medicine.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau calls citizens, truckers protesting vaccine mandate “fringe” minority who don’t share government-accepted “views”

(Natural News) It’s becoming apparent that there is little difference between known tyrannical leaders like China’s Xi Jinping, Cuba’s Castro bros and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and those of Western ‘democracies,’ as their policies and their view of political opponents are increasingly the same.

Amid rising dissent over Canada’s vaccine passports and mandates for truckers was born last weekend’s “Freedom Convoy” which involved tens of thousands of people and trucks in a procession that reportedly stretched at least 50 miles. The convoy made its way to the capital of Ottawa, where Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau was not available to meet with and address dissenters because he chose to ‘self-isolate’ like a coward.

But last week before the convoy kicked off, Trudeau, from the safety and security of the PM’s office, proclaimed that any Canadian who disagreed with his authoritarianism was part of a “fringe” group that held — his words — “unacceptable views.”

‘Unacceptable views?’ In other words, now Canadians who don’t agree with left-wing tyranny are “unacceptable” citizens whose views are not ‘allowable,’ much less worthy of recognition and debate.

“The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa are holding unacceptable views that they’re expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, rights, and values as a country,” he said.

‘Small fringes’ — as in, the massive crowds that took part in the convoy and protests?

It’s so important to tune out the fake news and listen to real Canadians who are grateful, relieved and generally fired up over the Freedom Convoy.

This movement is huge.

The unity is real.

Thank you truckers ?? pic.twitter.com/z4GWMGuCyi

— Traditional Canadian Girl ?? (@canadiangirls99) January 27, 2022

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has been talking to Canada’s truckers, by the way, giving them a voice:

Meanwhile, the far-left platform GoFundMe, where the Freedom Convoy raised more than $8 million, initially blocked organizers from accessing the donated funds. Over the weekend, however, the platform ‘allowed’ the first transfer of money, as the organizers announced:

The release of this first batch of funds will allow us to start processing registration forms and remittances to drivers who need our support. Initially, there will be a bottle neck because of the large number of requests we need to process, and because of payment processing times. Please bare with us as we are working as fast as we can to get this done.

As a reminder, these funds will first assist drivers of all Semi-trucks and direct support vehicles such as pilot trucks and/or mechanic trucks in the convoys to Ottawa. Registrations must have been received and signed off by the Road Captains. These forms must also be completed exactly as per the instructions on the registration form, otherwise they will not be processed. Please note that all submissions are not guaranteed, as this is dependant on how many registrations are received and how much is donated through the GoFundMe campaign.

Freedom is coming back in style in democratic countries that are being led by left-wing tyrants. It’s about time.

Preparing humanity for the ABUNDANCE ECONOMY that will rise from the ashes of engineered scarcity

(Natural News) The entire global economic system under which we’ve all lived is rooted in artificial scarcity and control. That system is coming to an end. It is self destructing because it is based entirely on endless debt creation rather than productivity.

Much of America’s economy today is nothing but “financialization” activity — bankers, hedge fund managers and government officials creating the illusion of economic prosperity by shoveling around various instruments based on debt and derivatives. This is all achieved through the tyrannical, monopolistic enforcement of scarcity, making sure the people are forever operating from a place of scarcity rather than abundance.

For example, the entire medical system is based on scarcity and deprivation of medicine. The FDA’s never-ending attacks on ivermectin, medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements is all part of a war on humanity to deprive people of affordable, abundant medicine that can save lives and end the covid pandemic.

Similarly, centralized money printing (“official” counterfeiting) keeps the corrupt, criminal government in power, while the massive money printing loots the masses of the purchasing value of their dollars. As long as the power to create money rests solely with the corrupt, criminal government, the people will never be free (by design).

Food and medicine can be created almost without limit, to feed and heal every human being on planet Earth

As I’ve shown in recent podcasts, abundant supplies of food and medicine can be easily created through simple, low-cost methods. For example, sprouting broccoli seeds creates sulforaphane molecules out of air, and those molecules are natural medicine with powerful anti-cancer properties. This molecule also stimulates neural stem cells (NSCs) that repair brain damage caused by spike protein bioweapons.

Endless quantities of sulforaphane can be generated for nearly free, using nothing but sprouting jars and broccoli seeds. No person in the world need go without this potent natural medicine. Similarly, abundant food supplies can be created from low-cost, low-tech hydroponic grow systems that use no electricity, pumps or complex parts. (See my video here.)

Brighteon.com/84e7c505-bb66-4893-8fdc-18255c959212

If we strip away the criminal FDA, corrupt governments and artificial corporate monopolies that make people suffer for profit, food, medicine and even fresh water can be made abundantly and reliably available to nearly everyone. It is corrupt corporations and governments that suppress this truth and push artificial scarcity to profit from human suffering.

Much the same is true with money. Massive printing of fiat currency only seems to promote money abundance, but it actually causes scarcity because of the collapsing value of the fiat currency. The more money that’s printed, the less value the money has… and those left holding it will lose everything if they continue to hold it through the collapse.

The people of the world can create their own monetary systems and escape engineered money scarcity

What the phenomenon of cryptocurrency reveals is that people can create their own systems of money. We don’t need corrupt, criminal governments and their complicit central banks to dictate what money we’re allowed to use. We can freely trade with each other using electronic systems or even physical barter-based systems. The so-called “full faith and credit of the United States government” has zero value. No informed person has any faith whatsoever in the corrupt US government, and the “credit” of the system is a cascading debt catastrophe just waiting to be triggered into a collapsing avalanche.

What if we created systems of money that needed no permission from the corrupt central banks? What if we launched our own gold or silver-backed regional currencies and used those as a means of exchange?

What if we simply withdrew our consent from the abusive, criminal governments of the world and stopped allowing them to run our lives?

Energy will be (nearly) free

Thanks to exciting developments in LENR (Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions), energy will soon be nearly free for everyone. Soon, you will be able to run your entire home on a cold fusion device about the size of a microwave oven. It will generate a steady 5 kW of power and will consume no inputs other than deuterium (heavy water, found in the ocean).

Electric cars will have these devices installed on board, so that when you park your vehicle, it automatically recharges the batteries while sitting. No more charging stations needed.

In an “abundance economy” where energy is nearly free, everyone will be able to live a comfortable life, steeped in abundance. Nearly free energy means food production is very affordable. So is transportation. Even housing construction becomes more affordable.

Yet it is the governments and corporations of the world that are trying to suppress LENR technology. They don’t want people to be “too” free, it turns out. And there are all sorts of greed-driven benefits still owed to the weapons manufacturers who need conflicts over oil in the Middle East in order to justify their existence. War is the driver of profits for those connected to corrupt government, and scarcity is the driver of war.

If oil were obsolete, much of the justification for kinetic conflict around the world would vanish. Free energy means every household becomes its own energy source, and nobody needs to be connected to a power grid in order to function.

In the podcasts ahead, you’re going to hear me talk more about the “abundance economy” and how the real revolution for humanity means not merely defeating corrupt governments and corporations, but making them obsolete.

Knowledge of abundance is the answer. So share what you know. Empower others to create their own abundance far outside the corrupt systems of control and scarcity that are engineered by evil corporations and government cartels.

Getting jabbed with J&J covid shot increases risk of “rare” blood clots by 350%

The single-dose Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine” from Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is back in the news after it was revealed that recipients are 3.5 times more likely than non-recipients to develop “rare” blood clots.

Perhaps not shocking is the fact that taking a J&J injection for the Chinese Virus ups one’s risk of deadly blood clots by a whopping 350 percent, a new study has found. And most at risk are women between the ages of 30 and 64.

While the general rate of blood clots in a given population is 2.5 people out of every 100,000, the rate among J&J injection recipients is 8.5 people out of every 100,000. If “every life counts,” as we were all told last year in defense of the mask mandates, then something must be done to take these J&J injections off the market before any more people suffer cardiovascular events.

Back in April, a temporary pause on the J&J shot was enacted for 10 days while the government supposedly investigated concerns about blood clotting in women. It was learned that the jabs cause cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, or CVST, in some recipients.

This was no big deal to the government, though, as the J&J injection was quickly brought back online to be stabbed into people’s arms at “warp speed.” (RELATED: One of the earliest recipients of J&J’s covid injection had his skin fall off because of the jab.)

Despite all this, both J&J and the government claim that deadly side effects are “rare” and that people should not worry about it. Getting injected, they claim, is still better than risking an ever-dreaded “positive” test result for the Chinese Virus.

You’re better off relying on your natural immune system rather than “vaccines”

For their research, scientists from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., collected data on roughly 158,000 people living in Olmstead County, located about 90 miles southeast of Minnesota.

The data covered a period of time ranging from 2001 to 2015 and looked specifically at known CVST cases. This data was then compared to newer data since J&J’s Fauci Flu shot was released.

It was clear based on this comparison that post-release of the J&J jab, CVST cases skyrocketed, relatively speaking. A direct correlation between the injection and the disease was established, showing that it is hardly the “safe and effective vaccine” that government officials claim it to be.

Most vaccine-induced CVST cases appear to have developed within 15 days of injection. The results were published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

According to reports, the J&J injection is the least popular of the three Wuhan Flu shot brands currently available in the United States, the other two being the mRNA (messenger RNA) shots offered by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

The J&J shot does not contain mRNA technology and oddly enough has been the jab most targeted with scrutiny for causing negative side effects. The others cause side effects, too, but the government seems to favor people taking those, hence the lack of coverage about the damage they are causing.

“J&J presented the FDA with a study on the efficacy of their jabs against severe / critical Delta infection,” wrote one commenter at the DailyMail Online. “It showed NEGATIVE 6% EFFICACY WITH DELTA. The placebo group had one less severe / critical Delta case than the test group.”

“And that’s just rare blood clots,” wrote another about how the J&J injection causes other damage as well. “The data from this study doesn’t include Bell’s Palsy, heart attacks, miscarriages, myocarditis, and other life-changing problems.”

Can COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Unusual Blood Clots?

Amid global COVID-19 pandemic, Thailand has faced a recent outbreak, so called third wave attack with devastating impacts on people’s lives. As of April 2021, the number of infected cases and disease severity have continued to rise and become an unprecedented crisis for the country’s public health system. A number of medical studies have proven that patients who have certain underlying diseases are at greater risk of death if they are infected with COVID-19. One of the main reasons involves the significant damage of cardiac muscles caused by infection and body’s immune response. In severe cases, cardiac complications can be fatal, leading to heart attack. Considered a game changer, COVID-19 vaccines help to minimize the risk of infection while reducing disease severity and increasing survival rates. Vaccines have been claimed to be effective particularly in patients present with co-morbidities, despite the fact that some of them can cause rare side effect related to unusual blood clots.

COVID-19 Vaccines in Thailand

After Thai FDA approval, there will be several COVID-19 vaccines supplied by different manufacturers available in Thailand, including:

  • Sinovac (inactivated vaccine): CoronaVac, also known as the Sinovac is an inactivated virus COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Chinese company Sinovac Biotech.

  • Oxford-AstraZeneca (viral vector vaccine): The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine uses a adenoviral vector, a safe virus to deliver the gene that encodes the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein for stimulating the immune system to build up immunity against the disease.

  • Sputnik V (viral vector vaccine): Sputnik V from Russia is another viral vector vaccine that works similar to AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine by using safe viral vector to carry genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 for immune system activation.

  • Pfizer-BioNTech (mRNA vaccine): The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is made by using synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA) which is a new technique to trigger the immune system to produce protective antibodies without using actual bits of the virus.

  • Moderna: Similar to Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna is mRNA vaccine using new technique to produce immunity by the immune system—the body’s defense against infection through synthetic mRNA

  • Chula Vac (mRNA vaccine): Chula Vac is COVID-19 vaccine produced in Thailand. It is an mRNA vaccine, similar to Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.

  • Siam Bioscience (viral vector vaccine): Siam Bioscience vaccine produced in Thailand is a viral vector vaccine that works similar to Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

 COVID-19 vaccination and herd immunity

Herd immunity occurs when a large portion of a community (the herd) becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. Herd immunity can be reached when at least 60-70% of the whole populations have been vaccinated and developed protective antibodies against COVID-19. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination is highly recommended in all people who have no contraindication to the vaccines. More importantly, vaccination is crucial in patients who have preexisting conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, respiratory disease, chronic kidney disease, hypertension and cerebrovascular disease. Nevertheless, these conditions must be well-controlled without aggravating symptoms prior to vaccination.      

 Contraindications to  COVID-19 vaccination

In accordance with recent restrictions, contraindications to COVID-19 vaccines include

  1. People who have received vaccines and present with severe allergic reactions or people who have had known allergy to any component of the vaccine.

  2. Patients who have acute conditions which are severe or uncontrollable.

  3. Patients who have preexisting conditions, e.g. heart disease and neurological disease which are aggravating or uncontrollable.

  4. People aged lower than 18.

  5. Pregnant women.

  6. Immunocompromised patients or HIV patients

Nevertheless, due to vaccine limitations, not all vaccines are applicable to everyone. In addition, vaccines also pose a wide variety of adverse reactions, ranging from mild to serious. Thus, special consideration and recommendation made by expert specialists are required before being vaccinated.

Side effects of COVID-19 vaccines

After COVID-19 vaccines have been administered to a large number of populations worldwide, an immense range of adverse reactions after vaccination has been interminably reported with different severity degrees and incidence rates among different countries. In fact, vaccines are designed to give a person immunity without the dangers of getting the disease. It is common to experience some mild-to-moderate side effects when receiving vaccinations since our immune system is instructing the body to react in certain ways. Most common side effects are only mild whereas serious side effects rarely develop. Vaccine benefits often outweigh their risks in most cases. The sooner the vaccine is administered, the quicker people can resume their previous lives and activities while safety precautions are still in place to prevent disease transmission.

 Blood clots and COVID-19 vaccines

As reported globally and domestically, COVID-19 vaccines can produce serious side effects related to blood clots in the body which urges the temporary discontinuation of certain vaccines in some countries. Up to the present, blood clots in the veins associated with vaccines have been reported in different parts of the body, such as the brain, thigh and lower leg. In rare cases, blood clots can systemically travel to the vessel in the lung, causing blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism.)  The cause of unusual blood clots or thrombosis chiefly involves the activation of immune system that acts against the platelets, resulting in low levels of platelets in the blood and leading to undesired blood clot formation in the body. This is, as already published on The New England Journal of Medicine, not a new adverse reaction caused by COVID-19 vaccines. (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2106315?query=TOC) In fact, it is also a possible complication during the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, blood clots associated with COVDI-19 vaccines rarely happen, only 50-60 cases reported among 50-60 million administered doses. Clinical investigations and studies have been globally conducted in order to determine the definite explanation for the blood clotting effects reported among those taking certain types of COVID-19 vaccine. To ensure safety, some countries have temporarily stopped administering certain COVID-19 vaccines until firm evidences can be obtained.

Additionally, undesired stroke-like side effects have been currently reported in Thailand. However, symptoms usually appear to be temporary with mild-to-moderate severity and have less chance to cause long-term disability. Moreover, clinical studies are still further needed for monitoring long-term effectiveness and safety issues.     

 To stop the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, herd immunity is an ideal strategy. Nonetheless, herd immunity cannot be achieved if less than 70% of whole populations have not yet immunized. Vaccination does not only strive for halting disease transmission, but it can also help to mitigate disease severity. More importantly, COVID-19 vaccines are thought to be able to prevent the virus from mutations. SARS-CoV-2 can constantly change through mutations. Emerging variants derived from these mutations can become more contagious and uncontrollable, resulting in an increased transmissibility and disease severity. Furthermore, possible attribute of variants is a reduction in vaccine-induced protection from COVID-19. In order to confine the disease effectively, vaccine administration to the whole populations is urgently required while excluding people who are contraindicated to the vaccines. Once the majority of world populations is immune, restrictions can be eased and daily lives will eventually resume following standard safety precautions.
